An outspoken Catholic clergyman , Father Frank Bwalya, says the passion shown by most Zambians in the constitutional making process will in the end see a Republican constitution that truly reflect the citizens’ aspirations.

Father Bwalya, who has been elected as Copperbelt Provincial Constitution Conference chairman,says this time around Zambians are determined to have a constitution that reflects their aspirations.

ZANIS reports the clergyman saying in an interview in Ndola today that from the various debates on the constitution only goes to show that Zambians have now become experts in constitution making process which no one can take away from them.

Father Bwalya said the conference will not let down the people of the Copperbelt as all resolutions submitted from districts will be considered in the final draft document for the province.

And father Bwalya says it is too early for people to start questioning the government on what it will do once the national constitutional convention takes place next year. He said the ball was in the hands of Zambians and should ensure that they support the process.

He said it was important progressive clauses in the constitution are supported so that it stands the test of time.

  1. Copperbelt Provincial Constitution Conference chairman, what time is he going to attend to Zesco and most importantly the church. is FR Bwalya the only intelligent person on the copperbelt? this is nonsense MR sata. Sata is a tribalist lets see fellow fools defend.

  2. Fr. Frank Bwalya is a man of God and a man who loves Zambia. All you haters just watch him rise and succeed as he works for Zambia and for the people of God. 

  3. Kanshi bakulu ? All those gray hairs points to wisdom and years of toil and sacrifice.Me i used to think ati mu boyz fye.

    • Of course you are right!! And that is because Tongas don’t do brave anymore. They are way beyond that! So you won’t brave Tongas anymore around. What you are saying is like saying one child plays in dirty water more than all the daults put together! Ofcourse that is true because adults don’t play in dirty water anymore… Bye bye tribalist!

  4. zambian politicians, its made in zambian , the only country were anything can be anything, check out how Obama make appointments, u can tell people did have brain cells who voted.

  5. #7 it is important that you desist from Tribal insulting. We are mature and beyond such shallowness. This is why i keep encouraging you to respect your Priest and other leaders. “I COMMAND THIS SPIRIT OF STUPIDITY TO COME OUT OF YOU.” Amen

  6. I will take it that Fr is being sarcastic, in that over reviewing of the draft contitution has produced experts. Nice joke Father.

  7. Self discredited priest who was after all just fighting for a ngwee and position, keep your useless comments to yourself

  8. Fr. Bwalya is a very smart man. Those of us who went to school with him and followed him at Radio Icengelo can testify to that. 
    Tongas are also serving our country in their own way. If HH allows them to serve freely and contribute to the development of the country, we can be a better country. HH’s agenda is to frustrate development at every cost.

  9. Just when I thought frustrating development is applying funds now, to a presidents house that will be needed after his retirement. Could have invested that money.

  10. @concerned citizen, please enrol in night school for civics! Sata did not appoint fr.bwalya its the delegates from all ten districts of the copperbelt.

  11. ZAMBIA NEEDS MEN LIKE FATHER BWALYA. HE IS A BRAVE AND WISE MAN. HE DID NOT GO TO SCHOOL FOR NOTHING. HE’S A CLEVER AND INTELLEGENT ONE, TOO.

  12. Fr Bwalya in his chairmanship at the convention has been characterised by biasness towards kitwe deligates whom he seems to favour during proceedings.
    The process shoud be left to the deligates to debate the submitions without undue influence from Fr bwalya.
    He seems to be curtailing opinions of deligates.

  13. The above creature cant be compared with tongas not even a farmer coz a farmer knows wht time to plant,Not this man like plant in the derset.

  14. This Chap is now Copperbelt Provincial Constitution Conference chairman,he has been appointed to the Board of ZESCO. No-wander he is talking Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

  15. Father Bwalya the beheader of chickens you could do well to influence the imitation of some items from the very progressive document produced by kenyans in 2010.

  16. No Idea what this man is talking about. If he Quotes a bible verse it would probably make more sense. @Zed anything is possible.

  17. ALL THOSE WRITING AGAINST THE PRIEST SOUND CHILDISH AND ILLOGICAL. YOUR HATE IS DEMONIC .IT IS NOT THAT U CAN DO BETTER OR THAT U’RE WISER BUT IT’S JUST THAT U’RE SICK IN YO BRAINS.LEARN TO TELL US Y U CRITISIZE ,HOW BETTER U CAN DO IT. STOP YAPPING

  18. Too early, lol! It’s like saying Chiluba did not tell us early enought that “Nga bampela ci constitution chabo kensa bika mo ifyandi”, or behaving like the meandering Godfoolish Miyander who claimed Chiluba did not tell him he wanted a third term, yet the idle soldier could not deduce from the Kasai’s behaviour that he was hell bent on ejaculating on the constitution to leave it asunder with a third term gonorrhea. Both Miyander and this lousy Bwalya are stu.p.i.d and idle!

  19. Who is Father Bwalya? Where are his Children for all to call him father? How does he divide church work/tym to attend to the constitution making programme??

  20. please bwalya is no longer a practising priest. he is just like any other person on the street looking for money. He may have some braveness but what overshadows all that is his tribalistness. He just supports blindly because there is a tribal mate in state house – he was at the helm agitating for windfall tax where is it now etc. God have mercy on us we are just like that christian or not.

  21. Uyu shimapepo (ordained by DeJong not aba kui tuntumba fye ati nine pas…….) one day akateka. Mukanjibukisha.
    I remember him from 1999 at Kabushi parish and St. Peters mushili parish as a person with a heart for fellow human beings. Nali Kampenga. Hard working educated individuals bakanafye utufulo.
    Hater, kwata isukulu no kubombesha naiwe ukalakanafye ama position nga bena seyuba, fr. Bwalya, chibamba k, etc. Tongas (easteners) sorry for using bemba.
