Nevers Mumba denies receiving bribe from RB

Share

Victory Ministries Pastor Nevers Mumba has denied receiving any bribe from Acting President Rupiah as stated by media reports.

According to a statement to ZANIS signed by his spokesperson Joe Chilaizya, Dr Mumba said he has not received any bribe from any body.

He has asked appropriate authorities to clarify the issue as he leaves Lusaka for Chinsali to bury his mother who died on September 23, 2008.

” It is his further wish that ( the allegation) would be done with the utmost sincerity and urgency,” Dr Mumba said in the statement.

Dr Mumba said in the same statement that he does not want to be used as ‘Impikiso'( Bemba word for sticks throwing during a fight)during this election campaign.

On media reports in the Post Newspapers connecting his to receive the K 15 million, Dr Mumba says he will not comment as he was still mourning his mother.

He however said he was still an MMD member and has declared his support to Acting President Rupiah Banda’s candidature for the October 30 Presidential By-elections.

‘ It is in this context that Dr Mumba had a meeting with his honour the Vice President on Tuesday, 23 September 2008. Dr Mumba has not received any bribe form anyone, ‘ said the statement in part.

Meanwhile Dr Mumba has paid tribute to Acting President Rupiah Banda abnd government for the assistance rendered during and the subsquent death of his mother on September 23, 2008.

Pastor Mumba formerly Vice President to late Dr Levy Mwanawasa said government, well wishers and friends had rendered incalculable assistance throughout the illness and death of his mother.

Government offered a plane to Dr Mumba and his family to fly his late mother’s body to Chinsali for burial on Saturday.

  1. I am also suspicious. Why is Dr Mumba receiving all this attention from RB.Why give him an aeroplane to fly his dead mother’s body to Chinsali. All this comes down to campaigning.

  2. Bembas will never admit theft. For a bribe, it is even difficult. cant see whats happening to Kafupi. Ba natola fye. Thats why Sata shouldnt be at state house. he will sell it. Ba natola fye!! Viva MIyanda

  3. Iwe wilakana especially that nau ponsoka, you did accept bribe! What a shame Pastor. You have no vision, No direction and what type of christians are in your church? am not judging but choose one whether politics or christianity.
    MMD Bonse you are crooks and corrupt, you also play on people’s minds kwati fwe ma Zambians tuli fipuba.
    We will show this time.

  4. Banakugula iwe Mumba. Si ona ba Boss bako banaka but ka Mulongoti kaulula! We know you chaps are up to no good. Ati a plane, Im sure its all part of the price for the endorsement. Tizakuonani imwe ba MMD

  5. thats good about this weekend , sata in solwezi to win election from north-western province . next destination will be southern province for the final goooooooo. pabwato rain boss.

  6. ITS LIKE BANDA HAS MONEY TO GIVE EVERY ONE EXCEPT ZAMBIAN STUDENTS IN RUSSIA. MAYBE HE WILL FUND OUR FUNERALS. EN OFFER AS NATIONAL MOURNING, OUR SITUATION IS STABLE IN RUSSIA HELP

  7. #5 U’RE HOPELESS & USELESS PERSON IN ZAMBIA.I THINK U’VE NEVER BEEN 2 UNIVERSITY.U REALLY LACK KNOWLEDGE AND JUDGEMENT 2 BE A STUDENT HOPING TO HELP ZAMBIANS.U CAN BRING CHAOS IN ZAMBIA COZ OF YO TRIBALISM.U’RE TALKING AS IF U’VE NEVER EVEN FACED RASISM IN EUROPE.
    SHAME ON U MAMBALA

  8. Ba Nevers mwasebana!You should be ashamed! We used to think you are genuine kanshi you are also part of the bandwagon. Ba MMD kuyabebele! vote HH

  9. Pastor , you are a wolf in sheep clothing.Pastor ukutemwa money so.How are you going to maintain the church coffers, you are a disgres in Gods eyes.Foolish pastor.

  10. ba nevers pliz pliz concentrate on church matters. ala mwila angasha lesa, today you re in politics tomorrow you re a man of God, wat game are u playing?

  11. Imwe NISHANI KANSHI?????? Nakana umuntu ati tapokele tikki, mulekeni ashike banani ahhh. Ba sw#ne namwamba ukubipa imitima aini.

  12. For God sakes why does Nevers deserve an aero plane? This chap is just an ordinary Zambia. People of high caliber like Gray Zulu and other past leaders don’t get any help. It is unfortunate that the leaders in Zambia do not see the light. Having Banda as a next president is a joke. Shame on sugar Daddy, shame on MMD, you are a bunch of thugs. If Zambia has to prosper, you need a good C.E.O. Zambians should go beyond the notion of tribal lines. Putting Banda as president even for a short period will be a mistake. The option that we have is between H.H and nobody; it is for this reason that H.H is the only qualified candidate

  13. I don’t see how someone who is in MMD, as Mr Mumba declared early on and demonstrated, by standing for the party presidency can be bribed. For what? It is like bribing my younger brother – we live in the same house and are already on the same side. All those who lost including Magande, Shikapwasha etc are campaigning for RB. Logic renders this story unfathomable. ‘Bribing’ people in the opposition, however is what makes more sense if I was MMD, because you are trying to silence your enemies and enhance your chances of winning. That’s why the bribing of Cosmas Mumba and Lukuku is now raising dust, they are in the opposition.

  14. MAN OF GOD ITS NOT GOOD FOR YOU TO SUCH THINGS WHICH ARE BRINGING US DOWN ALWAYS CAN JUST THINK OF THE LOST SHEEP AS GOD AS ANOITED YOU TO LOOK AFTER ALL OF RATHER THAN INVOLVING YOURSELF IN SUCH ACTS.

  15. Spot on #31

    This is REALLY one of the “rare” times we need ka Mulongoti to spit the stinky truth. Lets just wait and see. Manje manje kaza ulula.

    Hey where the heck is Pragmatic? Asoba pamene vayambo ululika vintu. Kaili enzo zionesa na RB wake. Olo ku zambia online aleko blogga ayi.

    MMD??? Aaawe mwe. I cant wait for Oct 30 to kick sum MMD but!

  16. #5 I said it yesterday and I will say it again, there is absolutely no evidence in for such allegations. Prejudice is the easiest way when one runs out of arguments.

  17. The fact is, unlike other tribes in Zambia (I’m not naming them), Bembas are highly organized in terms of government. State house wont be the first place for Bembas to exercise leadership, History will show you that the Bemba successfully conquered and subjugated other tribes such as the Lungu, Tabwa and Fiba.

  18. LT definitely needs to work on this ‘New System’ they have since my comments keep being lost or ‘duplicated’ while not appearing at all. I’ll return when my frustration subsides.

  19. ZAMBIANS ESPECIALLY THOSE ON THIS BLOG….TAKE IT EASY…..30 OCTOBER WILL COME..ONE PERSON OUT OF THE FOUR GOD WILLING WILL BE PRESIDENT…AND THEN IT WILL BUSINESS AS USUAL AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED…IT WILL BE BACK TO EACH ONE FOR HIMSELF…WHY..BECAUSE OUR POLITICAL SYSTEM DOES NOT ENCOURAGE HARDWORKING INTELLIGENT ACHIEVERS AND HONEST PEOPLE LIKE FUNDANGA,COSTAIN CHILALA ETC TO RISE TO THE OCCATION AND BECOME PRESIDENT….LOOK AT THE PRESIDENTS WE HAVE HAD..AT LEAT LEVY TRIED BUT HE HAD HIS WEAKNESSES AND WE ARE PAYING THE PRICE RIGHT NOW…..GOOD LUCK!!!!!

  20. Iwe #36

    Carefull!!!

    Siunamvele kuti K15.0m given to NRP was first given to Nevers? Manje bamupasa ndeke! What more do you want? Anyways just wait for Mulongoti, its only a matter of hours the truth shall be known. Watch this space!

  21. THE ONLY REASON ONE WOULD SUPPORT SATA IS TRIBALISM. THE MAN IS A PATHETIC LIAR. IN MY AREA HE WOULD NOT EVEN BE CONSIDERED TO BE A VILLAGE HEADMAN. THIEVES ARE GETTING READY TO STEAL SHOULD SATA WIN.

  22. Ba pastor yashani iyo no one on on earth will accept that that he or she received a bribe from someone muleba nomutulo mu church but you cant admit it.RB we need a leader who is focused not paying people to vote for you.i think sata is ok though he talks to much please big man leka kukambakamba or uchefyeko how i wish i was in z for elections.please guys vote wisely

  23. i find it difficult to comment on Church elders, but in this situation Pastor mumba in your heart of hearts you have lost it. Even a fool, a man of least intellegency can read between the lines. You see country men. We should thank God that this has come to the fore, other wise we couldn’t have known we were voting for another fool. We have indicted before that we should get ride of these old politicians. They are retrogressive and a weak leg to the development of this country. We should see that come october 30, this case is thoroughly dealt with and all people invoved brought to book

  24. Iwe Ka #5, Ka Prof. Mutengo Waminga! You are still very behind, pointing fingures at tribes. If Chiluba is a thief, is a thief, not Bemba. If you go out of the country and you bring yourself into disrepute, how fair is it for someone to say Zambians are of this reputation. Nakubwelamo mwaice, nalikukwatile umucinshi as a man who has updated his mental software on that hard disk on your shoulders. Uli mutundu nshi mwaice iwe professor? I have a project for you here, what have you studied? Contact me

  25. UPND members be reminded that tribalism is also a form of corruption just like bribery and are both punishable offenses.Its not in order for one to comment and judge Dr Mumba s conduct ,as for now lets take it as an allegation.

  26. Please zambians we have seen and heard what rb has done during and after the death of plm.why give him 3yrs when he has misbehalved in less than two months.lets not make mistake by voting mmd.let vote sata or hh.

  27. ALL THESE ARE THERE BECAUSE OF FTJ’S LEGANCY CAREFUL,LUBINDA AND SAKI..THE GROUPS YOU’RE IN..PF AND MMD KUYABEBELE….FORWARD WITH YOUNG ZAMBIA.VOTE WISELY FELLOW CITIZENS…

  28. why is it that people get over excited over allegations?Some people here like hh have exhibited untold incompetence,look at the way upnd as a party has been reduced to a tribal grouping under the chieftainship of hh.The party has failed to win a single bye election even with the help of fdd,unip and kaunda.is this the kind of incompetence you want to take to plot one?incompetence boarders on treason.

  29. YOU PEOPLE HOW ARE WE GOING TO BE COMPLAINING AND SUFFER UNDER THE SAME….SAME..SAME..SAME…LEADERS MISTREATING US EVER AND EVER..PLS LETS US LOOK FOR ALTERNATIVE THRUOGH HH.THE YOUNG MAN IS NOT POLUTED WITH POLITICS OF MBOZA,CROCKEDNESS,MANIPULATIVENESS..NO!SO ZAMBIANS THIS IS THE CHANCE FOR US TRUST OUR NATIONAL RESOURCES INTO HH FOR THE COUNTRY’S GAINS.VOTE WISELY VOTE HH.

  30. Forget the bribery; it is part of the sordid business of politics. Why should government money be spent on a relative of a politician to hire an aeroplace (to go to his mother’s funeral) when pensioners who are in similar situations are still waiting for money. They have to borrow money to travel to funerals. The priorities are wrong!!!!!!!.

  31. #52.Yah i did not mean that,i’m really a fool,ba hh,sorry i need to vote a fellow youth HH.VOTE HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH INTO STATE HOUSE NOW.

  32. #51.Yah i did not mean that,i’m really a fool,ba hh,sorry i need to vote a fellow youth HH.VOTE HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH INTO STATE HOUSE NOW.

  33. As our brothers and sisters suffer in Russia and Unza being closed GRZ says there is no money!!! but when some one big in grz oh mmd falls sick.. our Government is there to help with anything they want.. while people at UTH sit in the hall way dieing!!!!

    abash mulongoti
    abash rb
    abash MMD!!

  34. The way it was reported in the papers was that the K15m was supposed to go to the NRP and it was given accidentely to Nevers Mumba and that he returned it to NRP at UTH were he was taking his mother.
    He is supposed to have handed in a budget of K80m while at State House. Don’t you all think that that brown envelope must have been a lot thicker.

  35. #58, Mulongoti is a nobody, by just mentioning his name, will make him start growing wings. The man is a non entity.

  36. #2 you observed well. This guy would have been on top this time. But his love for Money. He got a brown Evenlope from a germstone mine $10,000. This guy should have worked for people and not. I remeber well he the Guy turned things around at Mopani Copper Mines although not to the fullest. Mumba corruption is no good for you and me your preffered $10,000 and it is finished now.

  37. The source of this rumour has been compromised Mmembe and his paper have lost the little integrity he had if at all he has any.The MMD has even lodged a complaint against him for biased comments.RB will be in State house the writing is on the wall.

  38. WENYE i have just tested the mozambique dobo. its great man. NEVERS needs ukubailako he will start telling the truth. ine ba RB nalibapata mwe!

  39. Ubwatooo!

    Why did you lie in the first place? Why did RB lie? Now they are telling another lie? The money was to endorse Banda. Why not also give PF and UPND if those are your reasons? Why has Cosmos now endorsed you if he need the money for his own campaign?

  40. Guys let us not be stupid by puting some one with no Vission into State House. Things must be worked for. Look at the wealth left behind and inhereted by peolple hand picked like RB.

  41. ba RB, we zambians in the diaspora would like to come and vote. Reckon you could buy us tickets to come over seeing that va boboka pa zed???

  43. imwe ba moma ba #70, which part of Israel would you suggest DEC to start looking for #64 and #65 ayi?? Asuming thats where they are blogging from!!

  44. Interesting are the comments being generated on this blog. To start with, I too am a Christian, as is most of Zambia; but pastor Nevers should step aside and do God’s work. Biblically it is stated, that God grants us all different gifts, and for our Zambia shall be saved pastor, it is to preach the good news. There is a vast array of Christians and Zambians of the good samaritan corps that can lead our nation diligently and with unwavering dynamics; but pastor Mumba has proved himself not to be one. My prayers are that he gets back to the pulpit to enlighten zambians spiritual and moral progression. Conclusively, the best candidate is the silent one, in lacking he has no surbodinates.

  45. # Where in the Bible did God accept a lame offering. Carefull dont put aBlessing on a Curse. God is above politics if any thing this is worsed platform to which Mumba sunk to his shame he cant even shine

  46. #80 are you a pastor? God can forgive one’s sins and the offering accepted afterwards. Moreover, we can ask God to bless or curse someone, only God has the final authority who to bless or curse.

  47. How does government offer a plane to fly Mumba’s family to Chinsali?
    Who is he? Did RB consult the TAX payers on this development?
    This to me is clear indication of some corrupt tendancies. Give us answers… RB and team.

  48. #51 I totally agree with you. From the Board Room and manning a company of 17 employees to 12million human beings without any experience. No wonder the party has lost supporters. Mazoka had the experience and this young man felt that he was at par with him and must have been waiting in the wings for that opportune time to come his way………..

  49. Nervasi, Nervasi, Nervasi. People told you to stick to your calling of preaching the gospel and leave politics alone. Waona manje? And if you ask me, a man willing to give up his calling of preaching the gospel for politics can do anything including receiving bribes. Hey Nervers, you brought this on yourself. You should have taken heed to the wise advice the people gave you. You are now behaving like a cursed man.

  50. I understand Never lost his dear mom? but why should the government provide him with a plane to transport the remains of his late mother? at the expense of tax payers? we are all entitled to copper! Nevers is no longer in government, why accord him money and transport at the taxpayers expense!

  51. Here goes another shameless BEMBA who jst accept there wrongdoings when in fact they r guilty.Bembas wil u 4 once do the right things in life?Stealing its u,insulting its u,naked tribalism its u.What a people u are!

  52. The EVIL SPIRIT of coruption and theft placed on Zambia by Chiluba will be very difficult to undo.
    Zambians, you aren’t seen nothing. This is just the begining.
    Shame!!

  53.

    Condolences to Nevers and his family on the loss of his mother.

  54. PASTOR ALILYA. MONAFYE AMATOBO NE MILOMO IYAMAFUTAMAFUTA NANGU AFUTILE PAKANWA AMAFUTA YALISHALA. THIS PONTIFS (WHATEVER THEY CALL THEMSELVES) ARE CROOKS. PLAYERS VE CONTRADICTED THEMSELVES (APART FROM LUKUKU) ITS PLAIN THEY ATE-THEY HAVE BEEN BRIBED. PASTORS SEEM TO BE THE MOST IMMORAL INDIVIDUALS IN THIS WORLD. OK, PASTOR MUMBA, WHAT WERE U DOING IN RB’s OFFICE. ARE U NOT SUPPOSED TO BE NEUTRAL AS A CLAGE MAN? ZAMBIA “TWASEBANA”

  55. PROFESSOR, YOU ARE ALSO FOND OF SH!TTING IN YOUR PANTS. ISN’T IT? ULIMUKULU. ULEKE UKUNYA MUBAMBA YOBE. BUT IF YOU ENJOY THE STENCH YOU CAN GO AHEAD.

  56. #11.please dont use my id and stick to using a constant one.why is it that you keep changing your id but yo ip address still remains the same?what are you afraid of?

  57. Well, well well. Who ever thought MMD would get this desperate? Dr Mumba can’t comment on on receiving ZMK 15 Milion? And on what basis and capacity was tax payers money used for his mother’s funeral?

  58. The arrogance that Corrupt Rupiah Bwezani Banda is showing astounding if you consider that he has only been at the head of government for a few months.

  59. It is wrong for Government to use tax payers money for funerals for a select few citizens. What is so special about DR Mumba – preacher turned desparate politician.?

  60. Bwezani ziko kuntawi yama-brown envelops
    Bwezani ziko kuntawi corruption wayikhulu
    Bwezani economy ya-ziko kumbuyo
    Bwezani voonse vamene chita-achieve ba-late President Mwanawasa.
    Bwezani ma-politician bukudhala eg VJ, etc.
    Bwezani, bwezani, bwezani vintu kuti-ziko ibwelele 8 years backwards….

  61. Call him what you like Nevers was the kindest person to me at Hillcrest. He will never lie about such a thing. well Bbig brother.

  62. POOR Mumba…literally poor Mumba. It’s not easy Mumba, the economy is hatrd just avoid making crazy decisions. Clealry poltics is not your talent. Back to the pulpit brother- God’s grace is never ending.

  63. God is wonderful, he still stretches His arms to welcome you brother Mumba. Dont be in two worlds at the same time. Choose one. But for sure God has shown you that you dont belong to the political arena but to the pulpit. Just repent and He is just and ready to accept you back.

  64. Proverbs 14:12 King jameas Version Holy Bible There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof [are] the ways of death.

  65. 90% of Zambians are corrupt except politicians are more exposed. May I find out who sponsored Sata’s flight and treatment in SA? Ka Chiluba nako does not even deserve the treatment he gets in SA after all what he did. Sata Icibwato califina kuli corruption cikabunda very soon. This trend of flying bodies around the country is all corruption. Please lets act within our means, Zambia is not rich.

  66. Mutengo Waminga was supuka, you claimed on this site that you were living i the US working for the UN, now let’s see how long this Zambian flag is going to last flying over your stupid pastings.

  67. This Rev is a serious dissappointmet. obviously the chap got the cash from RB. He is a disgrace to his church and the christian community.

  68. Judas sold His master (Jesus) for 30 pieces of silver which he never even used because he went and hanged himself. So now we are being told that Nevers has just been bought for 2.2 pin pounds, (15 million pin) which is a nurse’s monthly wage in England. This is interesting. Please tell me mwe ba pa Zed how long would this last. Ba Pastor should just go back to get umutulo with respect.

  69. he cant admit theft. even me i cant!!! he consider it to be umutuloooo in satans name!!!! bazakamishonani we shall see!!!!!!!!!

  70. It is really shameful that Nevers Mumba’s mother’s body should be flown to Chinsali on government expense when Mumba can afford to pay for that.What about ordinary Zambians who take sick relatives to hospital on bicycles and wheel barrows? Rupaih what sort of a mindless leader are we preparing to vote into office? And what credentials do you have apart from a string of failed businesses and concubines? We know you mudalas and we also know Zambians are generally cheap because in the USA a man of your loose morals who at his peak sponsored boxing…ha!ha! Zambians have a short memory, don’t they? I invite all Rupiahs, Monica Lewenskis to come out in the open and expose this suggie wamuyayaya.

  71. The Vice president RB authorised payment of k15,000,000.00 to NRP,out side Mr. William Banda gave the brown envelope to Pastor Nevers Mumba containing k15,000,000.00.NRP when they got out side the GRZ House, they where told that the pastor got the small envelope, Mr. William Banda Phoned the Pastor that “akokachepa”, that is for young people and that they had a bigger package for him too, so he could actually bring that envelope back.Protocol officer got to UTH and retrieved the evelope and jocked that the pastor was a man of God and the envelope was intact.
    Now can someone say something,NRP and ba Pastor and Ba RB at the age of 72? BUT WHY?WHY?WHY?

  72. iwe choma 1, you are such a fool. leavw HH alone & comcertrate on how you will vote. HH is the only wise leader, tewulemona. uli chipuba.

  73. Bonse fye against Nevers are fools… yu need the lord.what everv a man of God does (not only nevers anyother pastor yu criticize) Even my name yu go do the same. The fact is umuntu Naakana
    Lesa will judge just like kachiluba.. ba fika!a

  74. Nevers should not be trustted, he formed Christian C party changed it to Citizens C party. Then formed Reform party, once joined hands with criminal BY where he was beaten for presidential party election and he resigned claiming BY is a crook, joined MMD fired and resigned, re joined MMD and aspired to be picked for president.

    judge him for yourselves. He is a Chinsali man, thats where lenshina originated from as well!!!!!!!!!!!
