Failed Bill 10 haunts UPND, says Greyfold Monde

MWILAMutale, the independent candidate in Chimwemwe constituency, has been abandoned by his supporters, who have decided to back PF candidate Allen Banda.

The supporters have vowed to destabilise the structures which the former Chimwemwe Member of Parliament had established, accusing him of being a failure, who does not listen to any advice.

Jacob Samunyina, together with the other three, Humphrey Mwanza popularly known as Cholimba, Dawson Chilekwa and Roy Mwaba have decided to dismantle Mr Mutale’s structures in Chimwemwe constituency in Kitwe.

Mr Samunyina said they had decided to throw their weight behind Mr Banda because he was a humble, mature and down-to-earth person.

“We have worked with Mr Mutale and we know what kind of a person he is. When we were working with him, we used to call him schemer. The other thing is that he has failed to bring development to Chimwemwe.

“We told him let us support Mr Banda because he is the PF candidate for Chimwemwe constituency, but he refused and so we decided to leave him. So because of Mr Mutale’s conduct, we will ensure that we destabilise his structures,’’ Mr Samunyina said.

But when contacted for a comment, Mr Mwila said it was normal for people to criss-cross when the country was heading towards elections.

He said he had also sent his people to spy on the PF candidate and his camp so that he could know what they were planning.

Mr Mutale said he was actually sending his supporters to go and get money from some candidates who were dishing out money so that together they could enjoy it.
