POLICE have recorded a warn and caution statement from Patriotic Front (PF) Kasama member of Parliament Geoffrey Mwamba for allegedly assaulting his wife, Chama.
Lusaka Province Police commanding officer, Greenwell Nguni, said this in an interview in Lusaka yesterday.
Mr Nguni said Mr Mwamba was summoned for questioning at Woodlands Police Station.
He said Mr Mwamba arrived at the police station around 10:00 hours in the company of his lawyer.
Mr Nguni said the recording of a warn and caution statement is part of the process in the investigation of cases.
“I can confirm that we summoned Mr Mwamba at Woodlands Police Station and he arrived there around 10:00 hours in the company of his lawyer.
“The Police have since recorded a warn and caution statement from Mr Mwamba,” Mr Nguni said.
Mr Mwamba allegedly battered his wife on Sunday after a domestic dispute.
Mrs Mwamba who is admitted to MKP Hospital in Kabulonga complained of a deep cut on her forehead and general body pains.
[pullquote]“My sister is clearly fed up with her husband’s mentality. He talks about money everywhere he goes and in my view there are more important things than money,” said.[/pullquote]
She reported the matter to police on Tuesday. The women’s movement in Zambia has described Mr Mwamba’s conduct as barbaric and dishonourable. The movement has also called for Mr Mwamba’s prosecution.
The Human Rights Commission has condemned Mr Mwamba describing his action as a drawback to the fight against gender-based violence.
The Non-Governmental Organisations Co-ordinating Council (NGOCC) said women are disappointed with Mr Mwamba’s conduct especially because he is a lawmaker who is supposed to observe high moral standards.
Meanwhile, the family of Mrs Mwamba has said it regrets having the legislator as their in-law.
Mrs Mwamba’s brother, Chama Mwenso, said Mr Mwamba’s conduct is embarrassing.
Mr Mwenso denied insinuations that his family has been interfering in the Mwambas marriage.
He said her sister and children made the decision to report Mr Mwamba to police contrary to allegations that the Mwenso family had a hand in it.
“My sister is clearly fed up with her husband’s mentality. He talks about money everywhere he goes and in my view there are more important things than money,” said.
Mr Mwenso said no member of the Mwenso family has ever asked for financial assistance from Mr Mwamba.
He advised the PF leadership to be careful in their dealing with Mr Mwamba.
And the Foundation for Democractic Process (FODEP) president Stanley Mhango said there is need for Mr Mwamba to make a public apology for assaulting his wife.
Mr Mhango said in an interview in Lusaka yesterday that Mr Mwamba’s conduct is embarrassing not only to his family but the nation as a whole considering his status in society.
He said Mr Mwamba’s conduct should serve as a wake up call to members of the public to carefully scrutinize their leaders.
“A number of Zambians have been advocating for legislation to put a stop to gender-based violence and so it is worrying we can have such leaders in Parliament because who knows, he might be against the idea because of his conduct.
“Wife battery should not be tolerated by anyone and so it is for this reason we appeal to all Zambians to condemn Mr Mwamba in the strongest terms,” he said.

Lock up that big fat fool and throw away the keys. He is such an ***** and I hope THIS TIME the wife means what she says. She has been battered so many times, and at last it has been reported in the media for all to read. Please Mwenso family, protect your sister before that THUG kills her.
you the mwenso must be laughing at yourselves.part of your drug money is what your sister gave GBM to buy chigayo.whilst you poor souls were busy burning the ill gotten proceeds on luxury fat albert was busy investing.now,no more drug money and you guys are now paupers and fat albert is filthy rich that’s why he talks about money everywhere he goes and he does want you loonies closer to his money coz you will chew everything you are fools.
Money talking.Nga niumbi nga naingila apa.No warn and cautioning.A case of justice for the rich and another justice for the poor.
Shame!talking about money a really impoverished way of thinking.Let Mwamba spend at least a day in the cooler worse than bouncing a Cheque this.Make him an example please.Not interested in personal family details were he got what.A big shame.
imagine a cop gettin 1.5m per month handling fat albert’s docket.it cant work out.even when he was recording the so called warn an caution statement the guy was just thinking of how he can spin a buck out of fat albert,similarly the prosecutor at the courts is also waiting for the same case.there the case will only come for mention once,adjourned then the docket will go missing and that will be the end

This is a same man who recently scooped a kasama central seat by landslide victory, what a shame! Is he really representing the people who voted for him or just making money and battering his wife? Im not a cader nor a supporter of any political part or candidate on earth. If only all the people could think like me! People shed blood in violence just to make sure that thugs like GBM are voted. Message to all who will by chance read this comment: a politician will never solve your problems, yes its IMPOSIBLE! People who voted for this thug in Kasama central are still walloping in poverty, why voting then?
What The !!!! This MF is huge , like a n over grown Peguin in a suit WOW!!!
And which MR Mwenso are they talking about there are many of them ,and some of them are well conected any one got a first name
This beast must be locked up. And why does he always boast about his riches? Are they genuine? I doubt. There is nothing political here, the man has committed an offense against the people of Zambia and should face the law.
The reason why “fat albert” is always boasting about his wealth is partly because he is a “fontini” and partly cultural. No amount of money can buy you class, and that is what “fat albert” is lacking. His children having been born in such wealth had a chance, but with such a joker for a father and role model, what hope do they have? The mothers side of the family are also well known criminals!
The cultural bit will annoy some people, but i am just being real. there is “a people” within our borders who seem to have an inherent characteristic of boasting, being uncouth, loud, and just generally ill mannered. They think they are better than everyone else because they have convinced themselves that they are. Fatty’s NET worth is not even that much! What a joker! Lock him up!
Drilling it into fatty’s head that women deserve equal, if not more, respect and protection from men ( not being patronizing) is like trying to squeeze water out of a stone.
The guy is still a primate. The only difference is that he is a primate with a benz and big house. If i had to take a pycho analytical guess, i would bet that these problems stem from the bedroom and ones inability to “perform” due to ones obesity. This leads to feelings of inadequacy and resentment towards the partner. Inorder to regain that feeling of “manness”, one strays and ends up in the hands of younger money hungry mistresses who need his money but get their real satisfaction elsewhere.
This inevitabley causes problems in the marriage.
# 11,you have an inferiority complex ka?towards Bembas ka?
Foolish Legislator! what else can you say about a law maker who breaks the law especially inside his own house. These are not leaders we need in our country.If he can batter his wife like that, what more an outsider say, a cadre from MMD, UPND and son on.
Too hell with so called GBM
Wife battering is an offense and cautioning is not the best remedy. Arrest the perpetuators of law.
No. 12 l love you analysis….that is so true and nicely put….!!
Imwe a Mhango just keep quiet as you have been. SATA LI BOLO, can you advise me what Mhango is doing? This guy is a nonentity pa zed politics. Instead of leading his FODEP party, i have recently seen him in an MMD function. Why must everyone demonise GBM? Including demons themselves in sheepskin like MHANGO. Can someone raise his hand who has never f.u.c.k.e.d a bitch? Everyone has! Beating is not a good thing at all but where is the interest? Let Mrs GBM’s relatives stop interfering. She is not dead & let the press ask her about ner feelings about the marriage. We dont need poverty striken relatives to be spokespersons for her. All they want is money after divorce but money taken in wayward means lasts not. Its not the brothers to say the sister is fed up, its her. PEACE.
Simon @12. Thats an illusion. If thats what you have gone through, its not everyone who is fat who cannot perfom well in bed. In any sence, when you cant function, for a man, he will get satisfaction no matter how erectile his machine gets. Its the woman who needs more fire power to take her to cloud number nine. So,in my right analysis based on your side of argument-its Mrs GBM who will be distatsified & opt for young men with more energy & drive to drive for hours on end. Thats what i know. But alas! she has not said that at all. Women who are married to rich people will never go on top of the roof denouncing their husbands inability to shagg well, only the poor do because they have nothing to loose.
The late Webster Mwenso was a brother to Chama’s mother.So who is the father to Chama? The surname is not correct. She is siupposed to use her father’s name not Mwenso.
This ***** belongs to a party called PF. And in their dreams, when they form the govt next year, this fat ugly jaribu abuser is earmarked for a very senior cabinet position having been their biggest financer. Now, my question is why should we replace an inefficient govt with a barbaric one in the form of Sata, Kambwili, GBM, Willie Nsanda, Munsenge, Mark Mushili, Winter Kabimba (A lawyer who has never won any court case apart from debt collecting for clients)Guy Scot, Mumbi Phiri, Jean Kapata etc? Where is our country going with kaponyas as our leaders? why are we blessed with savages only like Willie Nsanda, Mark Mushili and GBM. Just look at the nature of business they are running-Bus transportation. This is a business for kaponyas. That is y PF is popular in kaponya infested areas.
VJ Rigger @13, i did not mention the word Bemba anywhere in my post. Who has the complex now?
George Bush@18 – There is a difference between being fat and being obese. I was very careful in my choice of words to use so as to make a distinction. Look at GBM’s groin area and tell me if there is any way things could be normal.
You are right that its the Mrs who will be dissatisfied while GBM will be sweating away with a smile on his face. But when a Woman is not satisfied and you know she isn’t , even if you get your pleasure, it does cause you to ask questions about yourself and the results are usually the same as i described in my earlier post.
I am happy for us to agree to disagree.
#20
which buses are you referring too?
i hope you even have a bicycle!
# 21,anyone reading your post would surely guess that you meant Bemba speaking people.
”Fat Albert” = GBM, who is Bemba (cultural part in your post).
So I stand by my earlier post.you have an inferiority complex.
He said he knew the history of Mr Mwamba well and would expose his educational records.
He challenged him to tell the nation what level of education he had acquired.
Mr Mwenso said the family had invested heavily in Luapula, Copperbelt, Northern and Lusaka provinces where records were clear.
He said the family would withdraw Chama from her marriage because she was in danger of being beaten to death by her own husband.
Mr Mwamba on Tuesday alleged that the Mwenso family was broke and had nothing to offer which was why he had been chasing them from his house.(TIMES OF ZAMBIA ).
SIMON @21. If you have followed MMD closely, you would know GMB. He has not just gotten fat(i wont use obesse because am not a medical person) recently. He has since inception of MMD. Thats about two decades ago short of 10yrs of his marriage. He has been performing well mwe! Women rarely leave rich baddie,the only ones that want out r the poor couples whose woman has nothing to loose. In that vein, the bone is between GMB & Mrs GBM’s relatives or brothers. GBM keeps & feeds them including their own mother who they are supposd to have been taking care of. Its a pity they have the guts to speak on behalf of the sister that she is fed up. After 30yrs fed up? The best thing is to interview her after all she is not dead, then we will know who is behind this. These are propert grabbers in wait
@23 VJ Rigger – you are right that i was referring to GBM who happens to be Bemba, but the reference to culture should not be taken to mean Bemba. Culture is made up of a lot of elements and even though language is a very important element, it is NOT the only element. The key determinants of culture are your upbringing and the environmental norms, practices, etc that you are exposed to and how they are interpreted.
For Example if you separated 2 Bemba or Ngoni twins at birth and raised one in the Lusaka and another in Kasama, they will have different cultures even though they are both Bemba’s.
Culture also has different levels, that is why at a certain level, most Zambians share a common culture despite the different “tribes”.
@25 George-bush. My analysis is not fact, it is merely speculation, so i may be wrong. However, to suggest that the Mwenso family should not speak on behalf of their sister because ” he is looking after them and their mother” and ” she cant be fed-up after 30 yrs…” is at best worrying, and at worst very ignorant.
Do you therefore condone the beating of ones wife in the manner that GBM has?? In a civilised society that is called assualt ( NOT domestic issue!) Whether married to a “rich” man or not is irrelevant.
VJ and the other mates. since we are still in the GBM fighting mood go for them big ones (insults) my boys. am putting my money on VJ chief rigger.
SIMON@27. I do not say beating one’s wife is ok,No. Its wrong & its an assault.But they have to weigh issues here. What is the main reason for this happentance? It stems for the beaf between MRS GMB & GBM. To demonise him will be wrong.We are just sending a wrong message to women out there that when a man beats you-take him to court-while! there r other ways of amicably resolving issues-marital issues. These guys attend Northmead Assemblies if am not mistaken, did they seek counsel? No. She confided in a reverand who is not even married. Thats the mistake. Out of 10 married people you will interview-who are honest 7 have at least have beat their wives it does not matter how. Out of 10 bachelor & sinister, all of them will say i cantb beat my wife of husband. They r in a fairytale world.
@29.Sorry meant to say “stems from MRS GBM’s brothers & GBM
Marriage is not a competition where the wife at least must be on top like in bed for you to have a good short & take her to cloud number nine first before your johnson feels “lazy” to continue! Neither for the man. Its a shipikisha club-no other ways around it. The reason is that-no matter what you will find on earth,nice girls or staff like that-you must just restrain yourself out of love. Then why was man made in such a way that he thinks of sex every 15min as documented by scholars? Of course he should not be having sex every after 15min! Because its not possible or you will ware each other’s genitals out.Ku shipikisha. The people who cant stay in marriage are less humans(luck of a better term) because humans are made to marry & have children & die then die.
@Georgebush i agree with you that divorce should be the last resort as it mostly does more harm than good. The only time i would advise divorce is if there is a danger of either party being murdered (not good for anyone, least of all the children) through beatings or introduction of HIV in the home due to reckless behaviour. People of superior intellect should have the ability to persuade and influence verbally and by their example. Beating someone less able to defend themselves is cowardly.
GBM should have taken on Mulenga Mwenso when he was in his prime – now that would have been an evenly matched fight.
Have a great day, its been a pleasure exchanging views.
# 26 Simon;
”The cultural bit will annoy some people, but i am just being real”.
The above statement has betrayed you mate.However else you try to justify your not being tribal will only reveal more of who you really are – A TRIBALIST.
# 26 Simon;
You cannot pin GBM’s s.t.u.p.i.d.i.ty on his entire ethnic grouping.
what would you expect from kaponyas even if they got rich?
VJ Rigger@34 – You are entitled to your opinion. I maintain my statement that GBM’s cultural experiences have shaped the person that he is. If to you that means i am saying because GBM is Bemba, therefore all Bemba’s are……. Then that is your prerogative.
LATEST Patriotic Front (PF) president Michael Sata has suspended Kasama MP Geoffrey Mwamba from the party’ central Committee.
Mwamba, known as GBM, is facing possible arrest on a case at the Woodlands police where he is accused of assaulting his wife.
Mwamba has also been suspended from his position as chairperson for elections in in the PF.
NO MMD THUG HAS EVER BEEN SUSPENDED FOR ANY OFFENCE COMMITED
Let him suspend the other convict – Mushili as-well.Then we’ll see where he is going to get his campaign money from.Obviously Taiwan is tired of his losses at the polls.
By the way is it the PF central committee that suspended GBM or just Sata?Please confirm ba Deja Vu.
# 39 continued;
we hope the dictatorial tendencies sighted by Dr Mulenga were not at play in suspending GBM.
the president of PF has got special powers to suspend someone without summoning his central committee. this is subject to his decision being ratified by his central committee. every leader has got emergency powers which he can evoke under an emergency situation. democracy does not mean taking long winding consultations. it may prove costly in the end. suppose as you are waiting to convene a central committttee meeting GBM and wife reconcile. we would be denied an opportunity to witness a quarrel because i can assure you GBM would in the coming days be boasting of how rich he is and how he has bankrolled the PF campaign activities.
#17 georgeWbush, at secondary school i was good at comrehension but find it difficuilt to understand your postings.at first i used to think that you write pidgin english but after a thorough i came to discover that it is english misconstructed so i cant answer you coz i cant comprehend what you are talking about
Cases for opposition move fast. I wish Lucy Changwe and Philemon Musonda were in the opposition. Anyone with an idea how we can Kick these two chaps to the opposition, maybe to PF, ADD or UPND?
va sattaanyoko imwe! u think u can arrest a rich man?? haha keep dreaming bane! i am speaking from expereince, i was never arrested in zambia for all the rubbish i did. mulelota fye. deuces
Ba Simon #36, you have serious tribal issues. Be proud of whatever you are. Get some therapy. If you can’t afford it, talk to somebody. Such bitterness causes impotence ka. Have you not noticed?
Conman (#41) – U have made me laugh, thanx….U really seem to be looking forward to a quarrel involving GBM….
On a serious note, has GBM really been suspended by the King Cobra and what reasons were advanced ? I am dying to hear the exact words used ….
Hope this is not a hoax….
Well@42. Sata Libolo, If i take you thru what i have, you will loose words let alone find your way under.Its a pity you you are avoiding confronntation in its raw form. With you, i rest my case.
Ok nice that ba GBM has decided to resign his seat.Time for the pact to go back to work.
lmao at george bush aaah mwana they have told you hahaha. awe u have made me laf sata. ati shani voyi sata libollo? walila? awe these are the chaps that were educated in latrines bane. too much amafi in the head. va mambala. iwe chi george go back to school mwana. get an education haha
WHERE ARE ALL THE MMD SUPPORTERS, GBM HAS RESIGNED FROM HIS POSITION AS MP. TELL US ONE MMD I.DIOT WHO HAS EVER RESIGNED FOR WRONG DOING. AND BY THE WAY PF SUSPENDED GBM FROM THE PARTY POSITION BEFORE HE RESIGNED. WHEN THE STORY BROKE ALOT OF MMD SUPPORTERS HERE MADE SO MUCH NOISE ABOUT THIS CASE. WE ALL KNOW WHAT GBM DID WAS WRONG, BUT SINCE HE HELD A POLITICAL POSITION SOMETHING HAD TO BE DONE WITHIN THE POLITICAL CYCLES AND IT HAS BEEN DONE.
MR CAPITALIST, CHIEF BOOLICKER AND THE REST, LETS HEAR YOU TALK ABOUT THIS NOW
Hey AVJ Rigger :

#51, time for you to pull out that rope you’ve been hiding and find the tallest tree in the hood…it is time to do IT.
Wonderful issues altogether, you simply gained a brand new reader. What could you recommend about your post that you simply made some days ago? Any positive?
