JUSTICE minister Wynter Kabimba says MMD is a corrupt party for crooks.

During a rally at Nchembwe Basic School in Mpunde ward in Kapiri Mposhi ahead of the April 23 by-election, Kabimba, who is PF secretary general, said the former Kapiri Mposhi member of parliament Lawrence Zimba defected to UPND because he did not want to be associated with MMD's corruption.

"People are suffering because there was a government that didn't care. People are suffering because MMD is a party for crooks and the corrupt. MMD is the most corrupt party in Africa and the world, that's why God gave you President Michael Sata in 2011," he said.

Kabimba said MMD had turned Zambia into a pigsty.

"People are suffering, teachers and pupils are living in schools and houses like pigsty. A pig is a pig; even if a pig wears a suit for a human being, it doesn't become a human being, it remains a pig. Even if it wears overalls for a miner, it remains a pig and Zimba comes from a corrupt party for crooks. He has decided to join a political party that wants to divide this country on tribal lines," Kabimba said.

He said despite its dominance in Southern Province, UPND had nothing to show for it.

Kabimba appealed to the people of Kapiri Mposhi to turn up en mass on April 23 and guard their votes.

The UPND is fielding Zimba and the ruling PF re-adopted its 2011 losing candidate Eddie Musonda.
