Opposition United Party for National Development Kalabo Member of Parliament Chinga Miyutu has emotionally apologized for having accepted a deputy ministerial position in the ruling Patriotic Front government.
Miyutu, who has become the second parliamentarian to opt out the Patriotic Front government’s decision to poach opposition MPs, said his mind had not been free serving in government.
“I have decided to let go of my position in government because right now no one who joins government from a position other than what he was elected on is free,” Miyutu said.
“I am sorry for the injury I caused a lot of UPND members when I joined the PF government. I am very ashamed because I did not mean to hurt the people. I am very sorry for the people that were offended by my action I am now back home.”
Miyutu said, “I am back home and hope the opposition MPs in parliament have a free conscience. I am really sorry.”
