Patriotic Front (PF) Secretary General Davies Chama says the perception that founding members of the party have been sidelined in preference for new members joining the party is misleading.
Mr. Chama says the resignation of Miles Sampa as Commerce Deputy Minister does not mean that the ruling party is having challenges, considering that this is not the first time a minister is resigning in the PF Government.
He says President Lungu has done nothing wrong by appointing people from other parties to his government.
Mr. Chama has told QFM News in an interview that past Presidents also used to appoint ministers from the opposition.
