As leadership crisis continue in the former ruling People’s Party (PP), Ken Msonda has resigned from his position as Acting Administrative Secretary of the party but he still remain the Party’s Publicity Secretary.
Msonda has disclosed this in a statement addressed to the Party founder Dr. Joyce Banda dated February 2, 2016 seen by FaceofMalawi reporter.
In the statement Msonda says his resignation is not in line with the firing of Christopher Mzomera Ngwira as PP provincial chair for the North but he has performed poorly as administrative Secretary especially to resolve misunderstandings currently affecting the Party.
Msonda says he takes full responsibility of the squabbles rocking the Party at the moment.
“Please Your Excellency take it from my heart of Hearts, do not misunderstand me, my resignation has NOTHING to do with the firing of Rev. Christopher Mzomera Ngwira, I am 101% behind the decision to fire him from the party.
“You May recall Your Excellency that I was the first victim of his barbaric, savagery and undemocratic line of thinking in handling matters when you have different of opinion in the party. I believe CONTACT AND DIALOGUE is the best way to resolve differences and if one engages in physical confrontation and intimidation expulsion is the ONLY option,” reads in part the statement.
He added: “Even in religious cycles (Churches and Mosques) we expel members who do not adhere to rules and regulations of that particular religion. I have in mind Your Excellency, if it pleases you, Hon Joseph Chikwemba who was deputy to Hon Rev. Peter Kaleso to take over, am sure he can handle the job well. I thank Your Excellency for trusting me and bestowed upon me this challenging responsibility and opportunity to head the Administrative Directorate of our party.”
Msonda has thanked the Interim Leader Uladi Mussa, the Vice President – finance Hon Ralph Jooma MP & the Secretary General Hon Ibrahim Matola for the support rendered to him while on the position.
