NRP calls for tribunal to investigate Mwanawasa’s death

Share

Late President Levy Mwanawasa

The National Revolution Party (NRP) has called on President Rupiah Banda to set up a tribunal to investigate the death of late President Levy Mwanawasa.

Party Secretary General Kelly Walubita Jr told Q fm that Zambians would be interested in knowing the circumstances that led to the death of the late President.

Mr. Walubita was backing former first lady Maureen Mwanawasa that there is need to investigate the death of her husband. He said there are a lot of speculations concerning the death of Dr. Mwanawasa, adding it is incumbent upon the government to help respond to these speculations.

Mr. Walubita said there have been a lot of suspicious deaths of prominent politicians in the history of the country. He named some politicians whom he says died suspiciously as late Paul Tembo, Ronald Penza, Peter Lishika, Major Wezi Kaunda, among others who died during the Chiluba regime.

He said the death of the late President also might have been a planned one, urging the government to take seriously, the former first lady’s concerns.

  1. Oh please!!! Get a life. Is this the party that Chipimo jr is leading? Are these the so called new ideas and fresh minds that they bring to the political table?

    For goodness sake, the guy had a stroke before, had spineless doctors who wouldn’t put their foot down because of being bootlickers, the guy was fat, overweight and obese. Also he had a wife that could not take the simple advise KK gave to her in 2001. KK clearly said if this woman loved her husband he should not allow her to be used by MMD. The plot 1 office is a stressful job.

    And now you want to sink more money into this nonsense. Havent we sunk in enough money already. NRP, get a life or just join the PACT

  2. Playing the sympathy card again, why do pipo like to make a name over the deceased? This is no more than trying to evoke pipos emotions. Let the dead president be and lets focus on the living.

  3. i agree with you #2 these guys are a joke, its a shame they are our so called new generation politics why do pple blame the old for still being in power when this is the alternative we have. Can these chaps really be in Govt? They rarely open their mouths and when they do its got nothing to do with development policies etc, Why cant they take an example from the older generation politicians when they were in their youth you cant even compare. i hope Zambia will produce young politicians who will be able to be our future ploiticians serious pple not these boy’s living off thier father’s names trying to be politicians.

  4. Bo Walubita, let us concentrate on more relevant and pertinent issues. Do you think the people in government would want us to know what exactly happened immediately the late president collapsed? In addition we, as a country with all our socio-economic probelems, can not afford the cost of the tribunal. LET US BE FOCUSED AND SERIOUS!

  5. These boys are always being used. These are the same guys that got k20m during the last presidential elections to in dose RB. The bad thing for a common Zambian is that we do not have an alternative leader who can genuinely save the needs of the Zambian. We are waiting for the resurrection of Jesus for our problem to be addressed. These are our problems:
    1. Increasing prices of essential commodities
    2. Bad roads and congestion on the road( and leaders that think this is a sign of booming economy)
    3. bad hospitals since our leaders go to SA .
    4. heavy tax 40% for workers
    5. Corrupt government
    And now we have to fund the investigation of dead a dead. This will be costly coz this investigation is international our president did not die at home and we do not even know the exact date he…

  6. MHSRIP!allow the man to rest. it wd be a waste of money and effort coz watever u do wnt bring mwanawasa back to life. we all knew about his ailing health and stubborn wife. wat happened befor he collapsed ws he gt a shock after being led to sit next to Mugabe who he had openly disagreed wth.

  7. Ala bane ! Don`t you have other things to do ? You can as well call for the appointment of maureen mwanawasa as vice president coz you sound like empty tins to me.:-?

  8. :d/:d/:d/ NRP, Zambians have a right to know about Dr Silwamba’s death (former PS Ministry of Health).The story told in newspapers does not add-up. 1)Dr Gavin Silwamba went bird hunting in a boat on water??2) What tool was Dr Silwamba using in hunting birds, (amalegeni or airgun)?? 3) Where did businessman Yuyi Lishomwa suddenly appear from in the bush?? 4) How much does Lishomwa know about the death of Dr Silwamba?? 5)Why are police concentrating on questioning poor fishermen and not Yuyi Lishomwa (is money controlling the inquest)??? 6) Are there other people apart from Lishomwa who know something?? Gavin is not resting in peace, NRP ask RB to investigate Gavin’s death also.:((:((:((

  9. Who in Zambia did not know that LPMwanawasa was a cabbage, and what this term meant?
    These small useless pocket parties are a waste of time and space. You chaps should have a life. No wonder you are a party of juniors trying to exploit your fathers’ names to gain a living.
    Mwanawasa was actually lucky to have survived the first term in office as the man was VERY SICK even before he became President. If in doubt, ask his aides and bodyguards or the WIFE.

  10. Le cock grande. Take note that Zambia and Zimbabwe ALWAYS sit next to each other at major conferences/meetings due to alphabetical arrangements. So it could not have been a shocking matter for Levy who had been to many other similar meetings/conferences. Its sad we lost him while on duty. We can only investigate if we doudt the findings of the Doctors who were treating him and subsequently stated the cause of death.

  11. In medicine there is a medical term called “WARNING STROKE” .IF OUR DEAR LEVY WAS AT ONE TIME “VISITED BY WARNING STROKE please use the money for any other noble cause.kelly you still need your senior to mentor you. you were weaned to early for a political life.At the same time you have the right to make some “political noise” but PLEASE make it responsibly.

  12. It seems this boy is making a killing in his chosen career. I am not commenting because I have any respect for the boy but that am so angry that I can’t let it pass. Well may be I should slow down a little bit before I slay this messanger.You see Kakubo is the one who should explain why she raised this issue in the first place. At this rate I am changing my position regarding her apology. I now want to know what compelled Maureen to request for an enquiry after having paraded her husband for a whole two week period around Zambia.This woman is flat is she sane. It is not about Levy, it’s about her. She still wants to use him even in death. May Levy’s saul rest in peace, and Maureen do you get it this is only said about those that have passed on.RB some leadership please!!!!!

  13. What’s the point? some people or political parties only add their voices for the seek of being heard. ZED is experiencing a critical drought of ideas as evidenced by NRP

  14. :(:(:(:( Let Levy rest in peace. The late president was epileptic (a fact which he personally admitted to the nation and said he had been treated from although there is no known treatment in medicine). Levy suffered a serious road accident at the beginning of the MMD government, and was rushed to South Africa for treatment, Levy was never the same, for all we know, since then. Some people were so cruel that they even called him cabbage. Please, let Levy rest in peace for goodness sake.:-w:-w:-w:-w:-w:-w

  15. Why should we investigate the death of Mwanawasa when we know nothing about the death of our Zambia national team which perished in Gabon?Does it mean some people’s lives are more precious as compared to others?If the govt cant give us the report about the plane crash then they shouldnt waste money on Mr Mwanawasa after they all died while carry out national duties.I loved our President but lets not waste more money it wont do us any good.M.H.S.R.I.P

  16. Opposition parties better make sure their facts are straight before they start asking the government to investigate these deaths. If their suspicions aren’t grounded in the truth, they will backfire.

  17. NRP = National Redundant Party
    NRP = Not Reasonable Party
    NRP= Neither Redolent Programme
    NRP= Not so Resposible Party
    NRP = Number of Rascals Putying
    So, all yes, NRP: Lets spend money ‘investigating’ what highly qualified French and Zambian Doctors already told us. What political upstarts!!!!

  18. Am sick with this jr thing. These boys must get a life. Jr what? Chipimo, so what? Walubita, so what?
    Who said politics is genetically inhereted or passed on? Names cant solve problems we have pa Z. Its the innerman regardless of the background. Give me a break. zambians must learn that, they are being used. May be they think we are gullible, but its enough. Politics of names is tantamount to cowardiss of the worst kind. Image building based on fathers and mothers do not make a person articulate.
    HH will or Sata, give them a chance. Camaflaging themselves juniors what?. I have never even heard of these kids before and less than a year to go, they mushroom, all forming their own parties. I think young Mwanawasa is more wiser than these 2. If MMD does not go, lets wait for Levy Jr then.

  19. Cause of death is known!He had a stroke and wen into a coma,then he later died.What finally killed him am sure the state know.PLEASE STOP WASTING OUR TIME AND MONEY.ASK FOR A REPORT FROM GRZ AND NOT AN INVESTIGATION.NO WONDER SOME POLITICAL PARTIES WILL NEVER RULE THIS COUNTRY!

  20. Misplaced thinking again-useless politicians-what are you going to gain if you knew the death of His excellency the late president LPM.His health was well known by all the zambians,the man’s life was public as opposed to some of you people in politics.Let you guys keep quite and concentrate on issues that are sensible

  21. elias chipimo should change the name of his party, they is confusion here. this is cosmo mumba s party and elias chipimo. note the diference elias party is called National Restoration Party (NAREP) .

  22. Nothern Rhodesia Party does not understand that there better uses for money than spending it on unnecessary tribunals. Are they going to ask for a tribunal to find out how Mr Sata got ill? was he doing? Kelly jr, StUpid young boy.

  23. Politics is not for juniors, look at these babies now. They open their mouths and you can tell they dont have anything for the country.

  24. Bloggers listen. The Party that has raised the issue may not be credible but the point is. Any country would investigate a death of a President. Zambians are layed back that is why even the late soccer team report is still outstanding. With all the quoted deaths its necessary that investigations are carried out. Shame to zambia for not conducting investiagtions or releasing the Gabon report. If Levy was around a lot of people would have been behind bars.

  25. Elyo chibe shani???? bala buka….. pliz let us not waste money and time on such things…. pipo knew he was not well since his accident…I know its very difficult to accept a loved one’s death, but its always nice to be reasonable.

    For sure get a life all u supporters of such…

  26. The report should have been out by now.This shows how incompetent this govt is.Can you imagine the GABON AIR DISASTER report is not yet out

  27. Ovee is right. So that chinkale bwanji imwe ba peace. Peace is naive. Living in the past tense of peace. You think peace comes about by day dreaming like ka Kelly jr? Not at all. All these people Kelly Jr mentioned died in MMD reign. They know and who are you to start wasting our money. Penza, paul Tembo and the list is actually long, died during FTJ. Kafupi knows they did. You are living in the past and it wil take time for you to wake up. In any case Kelly is infiltrating the opposition in order to split votes. He does not loose anything but gain support from MMD for the job well done and much more donnor support grants given to every party participating in an election. The boy is making a living already on your head and you are stil snoring your rhetoric out. See u next door.

  28. I guess its curious that after LPM died, FTJ was conveniently set free by RB. Now we see FTJ campaigning for RB.Understandedly, pepo like these juniors cld call for investigations.After all, quite a few politicians died mysteriously under one FTJ. Hey but I do agree that dispite all this, it would be a waste of time, money and energy investigating:d

  29. You are all shallow minded. Maureen knows alot concerning the death of her lover. Let us waste abit more of “our money’ and hear from her and others what exactly transpired. When the late president expired? Where he expired from? Egypt or France.What realy killed him, stroke or tamper? etc….
    Levy MYSRIP. You were a hero. You only made one mistake….leaving us RB

  30. These chaps in NRP think that just because their parents were politicians that means they are born leaders. Walubita Snr served in the cabinet of that notorious midget and instead of the son calling for a tribunal to investigate the misrule of the midget and his cabinet he is :-@:-@:-@:-@:-@ trash! Muppet! His father backed a thief and he is backing another sore loser called Maureen. The likes of you are always ^:)^^:)^^:)^ other people…the wrong kind for that matter. Stop talking out of your backside and say something sensible. No right thinking person can vote for NRP unless of course you are:o:o:o. They are hoping that by calling for a tribunal, Maureen will give them some money, or maybe they think they will be members of the tribunal and get some allowances. Red carded Muppets!!!

  31. Watch it? there is bad precedence in Zambia which has been going on.All persons who are politically vocal the ones who are instituted in these investigation teams.Check all these “commissions ” in the past, even one man parties are represented.Professionals are not recognized because they have work ethics which do not allow ‘political noise’. So chaps like kelly will push for such investigation to have a chance to make a ”money kill” .

  32. No. 13 LOL =d>=d>
    You should have been in the task force.

    Back to the topic at hand ….NRP – a waste of time and space.!!=

  33. What should be investigated is how, when he was VP under Kafupi (what an insult!!!) he was involved in an unexplainable road traffic accident, with one current opposition party leader at loggerheads with him. And the many deaths that took place under Kafupi’s time.

  34. This is very intresting; very Intresting. Well I will still repeat my own tribunal findings:
    1- All Service Chiefs Levy found who were appointed by Kafupi and served under his administration
    were thieves, either in Jail now or awaiting a Jail room. Even Richard Sakala was jailed FTJ’s
    henchman/right hand man.
    2- Kafupi was in trouble with the law, he was found wanting and his imunity was lifted to be
    prosecuted.
    3- Kafupi was found to have stolen Millions of dollars by judge Smith in a UK court. told to pay back
    4- Kafupi and BY had swindled this cuntry out of $20m dollars arms deal, arms up to now never
    recieved, Zambia lost out.

    With the above, it shows how corrupt Kafupi was and jail was the option, they Killed Levy, they ensured George Kunda…

  35. Is this what your fathers could come up with? To have children who are seeking political audiences using the dead? What use will those findings have for our ailing economy? I have seen daylight criminal activities that need investigations, so that money is put back in the govt treasury, not this, junihnios’.

  36. Fi LT in No.44 u have failed to finish my sentence on George Kunda why?? I repeat again George Kunda bought. How come he secured the London Court Judgement but now very busy supporting kafupi. This is very strange. He has abandoned Levy’s vision to tackle corruption because he wants to enrich himself and also bootlick NyamaSoya.

  37. No. 39 … excellent animation combination. Katele & Regina are corruption convicts; money on a tribunal to investigate FTJ’s acquital would be money well spent

  38. This Walubita guy how old is he?He should be ashamed of himself you mean he does not know the life/health history of Mwanawasa? And these are the pipo who wants to lead Zambia.Please if you have nothing to contribute Mr Walubita just keep quiete dont show your ignorance on public

  39. National Revolution Party (NRP)
    If you have nothing to offer to our Nation please shut your mouth

  40. Abana aba dont they know its past their bed time what are they still doing outside. This game is rated 18+ and contains scenes of LNPS which may not be suitable for them.

  41. Sad, very sad – opportunistic parasites. Get a job or do something more worth while so people will give you some respect, maybe.

  42. Bo Walubita (NRP), first things first.
    Gabon disaster is priority… the widows and orphans’ plight is more urgent than that of Maureen Mwanawasa.
    PLM had a personal doctor plus the Egyptian and French physicians who monitored him during his last days. RB’s government has the report already.Besides isambo lyamfwa was done by Maureen herself. :-w
    Do not waste money on the obvious.

  43. Many people above have said it all.Cases of stroke are well known to doctors and to those who have keen interest in reading generally.Simply put strokes are associated with too much thought.Late Presient Mwanawasa should have been allowed to rest the first time he experienced.Now due to selfishness, people who wanted to continue to be seen at state house and in big positions urged him to continue.This is a known case.What wisdom is in this demand? Waste public funds?This is foolish thinking. Let us be creative.
