 This brings me to a matter that is extremely topical and has been topical ever since Friday, 23rd of January. 27th of January, sorry, 27th of January. This is the matter of the press briefing addressed by one of those who have volunteered to confer themselves to leave this party. Honorable member of the Central Committee, Miles Waliya Sampa. The matter of his press briefing was raised and discussed in the Central Committee on Saturday, 28th. And Honorable Waliya Sampa himself was in that meeting and was accorded an opportunity to express his side of the story. Some of the statements that were made by Honorable Sampa were indeed in extreme bad and they must be condemned in the strongest terms possible. Allowing members to cast aspasions against other members is a recipe for anaki and the danger to the unity of the party. We have heard and read numerous reactions from members of the party and general commentators and we agree that such conduct cannot go unnoticed. Yes, we agree that there are many out there who are issuing unwarranted attacks against fellow members of the party. We agree there are many and we condemn that. However Honorable Sampa is not an ordinary member. Honorable Sampa is a senior member of the party. Honorable Sampa even in his own press briefing was telling the whole country how he is one of those who are founding members of this party who joined the party in his early years. He therefore knows better and should know better how not to misconduct oneself. Especially that he is one who has in the past actually stood to lead this party. He contested elections to lead this party in 2013. And he is among those that have formalized their desire to be nominated as candidates for the party presidency at the coming extraordinary conference. Surely he may not be treated like any ordinary member. The clarion poor making today is also to those others who think they will hide behind telephones and issue unwarranted attacks on others on social media. As a deterrent to others and as a lesson to Honorable Miles Sampa it has been decided that we invoke the provisions of article 61i and 61j of the party constitution. In so doing Honorable Miles Waliya Sampa is hereby suspended from the Central Committee of the Party for a period of six weeks starting today, Monday 30 January 2023. A letter of suspension which states the conditions of the suspension shall be handed to him by the Secretary General. Nonetheless for your information and for the information of members of the party the conditions shall include one. I said include and not limited to. The conditions that will be contained in the letter that will be handed over to him by Honorable Secretary General include one. That Honorable Sampa is precluded from attending or participating in any meeting of the patriotic front. This includes caucuses of Honorable Members of Parliament, caucuses of PF Members of Parliament. During this period he is precluded. Number two Honorable Sampa is precluded from making any public statements for and on behalf of concerning the patriotic front. The other conditions if he wishes himself he will announce them to the public. They will be contained in a letter that will be handed to him before the end of today. Thank you very much colleagues.
