THE Patriotic Front (PF) has lifted with immediate effect lifted the suspension of Kitwe mayor Christopher Kang’ombe and former district commissioner Binwell Mpundu. The party says the suspension lifted is in the unity of purpose on the Copperbelt province.

In a statement made available to Mwebantu, Copperbelt province PF chairman and member of the party’s central committee, Nathan Chanda says the suspension comes after the two showed remorse towards their actions.

“I am  in receipt of the letters of suspension of Mr. Christopher Kangombe and Mr. Binwell Mpundu from the Kitwe District Patriotic Front Party by Kitwe PF District Chairman Mr. Evaristo Chilufya.

The same letters of suspension are also copied to the PF Secretary General Hon Davies Mwila.

After our meeting with the PF Kitwe District Chairman  Evaristo  Chilufya his District Secretary Lungo Kawaya, PF Nkana constituency Chairman Edward Chitambetambe, PF Kanfinsa Constituency Chairman Collins Chansa including Mr Binwell Mpundu and Mr  Christopher Kangombe who showed remorse.

I wish to guide that in the suspensions of Mr. Kangombe and Mr. Mpundu, There was an amiss in the procedure even when the case is solid as laid out in the PF party constitution and disciplinary code,”Mr. Chanda said.

He said the PF as the ruling party has a constitution and a disciplinary code which guide all matters involving party members.

“Based on the aforesaid, and remorsefulness shown by Mr. Kangombe and Mr. Mpundu, the party has decided to left the suspension,” he said.

Mr. Chanda however said if the Kitwe PF district executive committee still feels the duo or any other PF members committed  an offense or in the near future warranting disciplinary action, they can charge them following the PF party Constitution and Disciplinary Code.

He has further given a serious warning to the duo for taking the matter to the press and social media when the party has many channels of airing out grievances.

” I also wish to take this opportunity to restate that the PF party on the Copperbelt will work towards promoting unity, love and reconciliation among it’s membership. However, I will not condone indiscipline from party members, including those who have launched premature campaigns in constituencies with incumbent PF Members of Parliament, with impunity and total disregard of the PF central committee guidance as per the circular signed by the secretary general Davies Mwila,” he said.

Mr. Chanda also urged party members to respect and support the party by putting all their efforts together in building the party and campaigning for President Edgar  Lungu who is  the candidate for 2021 General Elections.
