Get Involved Zambia Executive Director Father Frank Bwalya has urged the government to be as transparent as possible in whatever it says and does in order to instill confidence in the Zambian people.

Father Bwalya tells Qfm news that the conflicting statements coming from government surrounding the president’s trip to India do not instill confidence in the Zambian people.

He says the Patriotic Front promised the Zambian people transparency in its governance system which it should uphold.

He has since joined in calling on the government to issue a clear statement with regards the President’s trip to India in order to stop the growing speculation.

Fr Bwalya says Zambians should be kept abreast on the president’s activities as they are the people that put him in office to run the affairs of the country.

AND Forum for Leadership Search Executive Director Edwin Lifwekelo says government should strive to bring to an end the speculation on the president’s health once and for all.

Mr. Lifwekelo says the government should ensure that it comes up with one voice on the president’s trip to India.

He has wondered why the government cannot come up with one position regarding the president’s trip.

He says government is responsible for the speculation brewing in the country on the president’s trip as it has not come up with a clear position that tallies with media reports coming from India.

Mr. Lifwekelo says there is nothing wrong if the President has gone to India to seek medical attention.

He says the people have the right to know because it is tax payers’ money that is being used to service the trip of the republican president.

  1. Just had, Honey Roast Ham & Cheese
    Fruit Juice and a Smoked Poached Haddock

    I feel bloated.

    This is life, Thanks you Scotland, Now back to do my research for my PHD and I am only 28 having CIMA and ACCA, Oxford Brookes degree, MBA and an MSc

    Anyone knows How much I am worth in Zambia right now?

    Thanks

  2. @mushota, nothing really…we put more value on what one has been able to deliver and not just academics as they do in the UK and the USA. So sadly you are worth roughly what one with a masters has who has relevant experience, and is generally smarter than you all round..sorry!!!

  3. There is deceit in Mr Bwalya to be seen to care more about the where abouts of Mr Sata whom he endorsed publicly as the saviour of Zambia. Bwalya has lapses in championing the cause of the suffering Zambians as Mr Sata. Zambians are waiting to see signs of service delivery and development plans put in place by PFgovt so far absent. Bwalya is taking Zambian people for granted without his vision for the country except create agitation in the nation.

  4. @mushota, nothing really…we put more value on what one has been able to deliver and not just academics as they also do in the UK and the USA. So sadly you are worth roughly what one with a masters has who has relevant experience, and is generally smarter than you all round..sorry!!! but take heart, with that amount of paper, you can always become a lecturer which puts you in the 24,000 – 30,000 pound bracket, lol all that work for nothing really, must hurt!!!

  5. When Nevers Mumba said the same things, people insulted him. Yet even these two folks have seen the sense in the need for PF govt to speak with one voice, bearing in mind that voters and tax payers have the right to know what’s up with The President, HEMCS.

    Reason always prevails.

  6. We have some people in society who never gave a chance or indeed wanted Sata to win the 2011 pollz. They now go ballistic at every percieved mistake he makes, real or imagined, forgeting that he iz just human. Like a lot of citizenz who wanted real change, Father Bwalya iz right to spell out thingz that the new regime seem not to do appropriately, while the detractorz quickly shout blue muder! Like a good friend who will sincerely not hezitate to tell about what you don’t do right.

    • Meaning? Opponents are not there to cheer you. That is why it is surprising for ka Bwalya to start criticising PF when he sacrificed his reputation for Sata. Get over it; just enjoy your PF govt while it lasts instead of complaining about “haters” and “bitter pipo”.

  7. mushota hahahah..bloated,,kuvionela ku ukulu is the result come back home and eat chikanda, mbewa you wont be bloated

  8. it would be better for the president to put all rumours to rest… He is due to be in Zed this afternoon. If he is not here already that is….

  9. AND Forum for Leadership Search Executive Director Edwin Lifwekelo says government should strive to bring to an end the speculation on the president’s health once and for all end quote-

    In most companies before one is employed they do a medical check just to ascertain if the person is feet to do the job: I guess its the opposite with Edwin Lifwekelo; Zambians new SATA’s health status even before he was elected into power
    : The man was in and out of hospital for minor checks here and there ,now he goes to INDIA for the same check ups it’s an issue.Get REAL and take responsibility for what you voted for.

  10. Mushota you are worth the entire country (Zambia) including all its mineral resources, the fact that we Zambians both home and abroad don’t even know Roast Ham & CheeseFruit Juice and a Smoked Poached Haddock, the kind of food you have just had you are even worth the atmosphere above Zambia. There is even a chance that Zambia’s neighbouring countries and their mineral and human resources can be included can be included to make what you are worth.

  11. #3 Mushota, you are always 28. Two years ago you were still 28. Please grow up. As for your qualifications most young Zambians have them. You are not the only. As for your diet it sounds pathetic. Go back home and eat healthy organic foods like kandolo, kalembula, nyangu, impwa, nfinkubala, mangambwa, sishungwa, libowa, masuku, mumbole to mention but a few..

  12. Mushottaaa!

    How much are you worth in SCOCTland, dear then you will be someone in Zed.
    It a hard life. Been content begins with SELF worth not your credentials. SElf eestem is important!!!

  13. Mushota did you say that the honey was smeared with honey? Mushota you are worth the entire continent of Africa including the AFCON trophy (made from gold) which is in Zambia at the moment.

  14. vat you are saying ma priend walya… aaah weri confused you are! you smoke mbanje walya..vy you smoke walya…

  15. Had you thought twice before performing those rituals mutilating a white chicken we would not have been in this mess.Go wank Bwalya

  16. @ 9. Zambians voted Mr Sata to form government mainly because of his long experience in politics. His vast experience does not need him to be reminded over obvious issues in administering the nation. You and others are misled for Sata to be given more time to find his feet in ruling the nation. Flow of information to the general public about his whereabouts and what he’s doing should be in the public domain while respecting his personal privacy. Tax payers sponsoring his trips to and fro and what purpose is for public to know. Conflicting statements about his whereabouts makes him be on leave without permission. Zambians employed him they have a right to know as he has a job to perform for them. All these facets of governance are clearly known to Mr Sata with his experience. What next?

  17. People you still respond to the so called Mushota…lol yaba, back to business.. Fr Bwalya is right, we PF did not want to be kept in the dark please State house ensure everything is in black and white, this is what we fought for… no secrecy PLEASE

  18. ……..Yes the cobra is sick and so what.

    Better for him to rest at the farmhouse…….’Team of doctors attending to him including Dr Janak Desai refused to divulge details of the medical problem and treatment being offered to Zambian president citing confidentiality issues. Sata’s visit has been declared as private visit……’ from india times

  19. Mushota very funny you are bloated from the leftovers in that restruant you are working.ati oxford brooks degree ma degree via correspondence rubbish.MBA from were you are a ka lair you waitress.

  20. Leave this stupid Boy Mushota who suffers from concurrent STIs infections. The issue here is that we need that information bill to come to effect. The president is a public figure. Why should he take a private visit to India keeping the entire nation in suspense? How do we pray or wish for someone whose trip and agenda is kept private? We do not wish our president any ill-health but we are interested to know where our president has gone and his agenda. This is the reason for anxieties and hot speculations. Why a trip that is for national interest be kept private and what does the nation make out of a private trip? Bonnée journée !

  21. Mushota lives in an imaginary world… ba bemba che! the problem with bembas is that the ganja smoked by easterners affects them….e.g when Mpezeni smokes…ukwa gets confused! Same for faza walya ni fontini maningi!

  22. they are so disorganised ..eish..wish someone would tell us the truth..becoz even if anyone came and said this person has died..we would believe them..!

  23. ba pf muletusebanya mwe……this is not what we voted for. theres nothing wrong with anybody esp the old head of state who has had a heart failure or disease before to go for medical check up every six months if it demands so. the most important thing is truth be told that he is out for such business and not private, conflicting statements even from the government themselves. learn to be truthful and people will trust you and believe in you.

    ba mushota most academics are worth nothing in this nation esp if you dont get the BOZ job. you end up being a lecturer at UNZA or CBU or north rise and you will get less than am getting in the mines as a shimaini. so you need to know that experience counts more than those papers. which can be manufactured anywhere esp in nigeria and some tuma coll

  24. Iam selling the folowing books:
    Government made simple, By M.C sata, Fruitless expensive campaign by R.B banda, Identifying foreign troops by Col Panji Kaunda, Obvious lies by G. Lubinda and gen R. Shikapwasha!

  25. some tuma colleges these in london run by nigerians. i know for sure that when i was getting my first visa to uk i had to use one ka college’s acceptance letter for a place i never applied for, so what can you tell us about those tuma fake papers………..

  26. Mushota, why be so pompus, even here in Zambia we have qualifications more than the ones you have, we even eat good food than the ones you have just eaten. To make matters worse I am even younger than you, I drive and I have two houses which you won’t afford when you come back home. Don’t think there is nothing that we are doing here in Zambia.

  27. who is mushota that he is attracting attention, with all that qualification u are still dreaming of working for someone (make money for someone). thats old fashion i have a first degree and am working for my self. what u are sweating for in a month is my 1 day sales on net profit. chikala

  28. #3 MUSHOTA. In Zed we dont give a damn about brats who have been educated beyond their intelligence. Academics is of little use here, this is not Scotland. Experience is more revered here. Beware of those cancerous foods you are eating; honestly we dont admire them at all, they are a disaster waiting to happen. Try fisahi, kalembula, dry fish, mulembwe etc, you will live longer.

  29. This mr bwalya, i cant call him father is a ritualist sold Zambia and should not be complaining. Ukwa and this bwalya compaigned to the extent of slaughtering chicken and denouncing God’s work in public to make sure ukwa becomes president so why complain? Let him do wat he feels comfortable to him. Go back and reapent its nt to late. Its only mr lifwekelo who can comment nt bwalya.

  30. ZNBC TV News at 19.00 hrs today 27th March 2012, tried to justify or qualify Sata’s private to India by flashing a photo where the President sat with two Indian gentlemen perched across a small table. This gimmick merely made matters worse for Govt propaganda to hide Sata’s illness by promoting scenes of business-like programmes for the President. However, the photo flashedd on TV screen revealed that the President LOOKED VERY FRAIL and exhausted, and overwhelmed with bad state of health.

  31. Father Bwalya should have spoken in silence to the people giving the wrong infor to the nation while the nation. These are but the guys you worked for day in, day out during election time. This is the only reason i hope i met Christ before meeting christians. A christian nation with so much divisions and lies. Tell the people the truth. We nah need no Zaza or whatever tha Zedian in South Africa to come up with some theory. To Mushota, what you eat will never be a matter, is it because you could have died of hunger had that pimp of yours had not come to your rescue?

  32. Mushota comes from a very poor background so ni wavionelanji johnny just come syndrome. Everything including just getting on a plane let alone being in any higher institute of learning is a miracle for someone in her poor poor tutu clan. Im sure she is worshiped as their godess and her Nick is the almighty himself as a muzungu. She probably wore her first pair of shoes when she became a teenager so being is Scotland and eating ham…iye mayo chikanga bakopwe picture. Its ok love….enjoy thats how we live mune, its normal!
