FODEP President Demands Daily Mail Apology For 'Malicious' Story
Foundation for Democratic Process (FODEP) President Dr. Alex Ng'oma has refuted a story attributed to him in today's Zambia Daily Mail Newspapers as having described the opposition Patriotic Front as dictatorial.
Dr. Ng'oma has since written to the Zambia Daily Mail management demanding an apology and the retraction of the article in question in the next edition of the newspaper as the article contains views he did not express.
In a letter dated 7th July, 2011, addressed to the Daily mail News editor and made available to QFM, Dr. Ng'oma states that the article in question is malicious and intended to injure him and to destroy the non partisanship reputation of FODEP.
He has further threatened to commence legal proceedings against the state owned newspaper should they fail to heed to his demands.
Dr. Ng'oma has also explained that earlier today he had a phone conversation with the author of the story Caroline Kalombe who confirmed that he did not express the views contained in the article but that other people at Daily Mail distorted the story.
He has since stated that as a result of this incidence, his future interviews with the Zambia Daily Mail will strictly be in writing.
