GBM gets cheers of ‘umwaume’ from opposition MPs in parliament

Former Defence Minister Geoffrey Mwamba’s dramatic entry in Parliament this afternoon momentarily disrupted debate on the floor of the house as he stole the limelight.

The Kasama central Member of Parliament who walked into the house at about 15:00 hours 30 minutes after the house was in session attracted cheers from Members of Parliament mostly from the opposition who called him by his initials GBM.

This forced Liuwa Member of Parliament Situmbeko Musokotwane who was debating on the floor of the house to pause as the Kasama central lawmaker proceeded to take his seat on the backbench amid continuing cheers.

Some Members of Parliament could be heard referring to Mr Mwamba as ‘umwaume’.

Mr Mwamba returned to Parliament as a backbencher as the house resumed sitting today having resigned from his ministerial position as defence Minister over the impasse surrounding the recognition of Henry Kanyanta Sosala as Paramount Chief Chitimukulu by government.

    • GBM IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN TAKE ON SATA IN PF- MAJORITY OF THEM ARE MERELY CHOLA BOYS- LOOK AT KABIMBA, LOOK AT THE MAN FROM SCOTLAND SUFFERING FROM DEMENTIA, LOOK AT THAT MORON CALLED MWANSA KAPEYA, LOOK AT THAT KAPONYA CALLED KAMBWILI, AND LOOK AT THAT CROOK CALLED NSANDA- SATA IS THEIR GOD- THE END OF SATA WILL BE SIMILAR TO CHILUBA.

    • GBM mwaume, Shimukokota nsoni, imibanga mise!!
      Sata “When you catch the elephant by legs and it is trying to run away, let it best to let him run”. no matter what you do, you have messed up!!

  1. GBM should be careful. With these charges being levelled against him they might cripple him financially by freezing his accounts. It goes without saying that the Panga Fighters are out for blood and Mwamba must pull his cards to his chest.

    • @Cracker what would you rather he does? Crawls back to the almighty little god called MCS? He begs for his ministerial position back? What does he do? He deserts his relatives? Kindly offer him constructive advise from your humble point of view.

  2. These are the people we want and not boot lickers like kabimba, coffins were flying on his head by demonstrators so that he resigns but could not. GBM resigns on principal and we hope to see other principled men to follow suit.

  3. Thts how it goes if u r INDEPENDENT FINANCIALLY.We want FINANCIALLY INDEPENDED POLITICIANS not these who r WORSHIPING SATA people as young as Monde Monde worshiping someone. Monde has even forgotten his ADVENTIST VALUES. He doesnt learn frm a FELLOW ADVENTIST ELDER Simbao who has been SO HONEST as a TRUE DANIEL of these days.
    He was chosen as an MP else did the POOR BOY MOMNDE wanted frm God. This is not reasoning properly.

  4. Kwena ama bloggers bamo balalaba. Who was GBM before PF. Answer = just a cadre with a bit of money. In fact um wine has clearly stated he will not leave PF. Why? because he knows he is absolutely nothing outside PF. Who is PF? Answer= Sata. Can any right thinking person challenge mwine mushi? Its like one of Jesus’ disciples hankering to take over from Jesus. It can never happen. Ba GBM has just tasted a bit of power and now thinks he is king. Balaba oko bafuma. Money does not necessarily make you a good politician. Some of you bloggers are just getting emotional. Anyway we are here to guide you and remind you.

    • Only the extremely s.t.u.pi.d or the extremely smart do not change their minds. which one are you Mr. Nigger of Nagasaki? On second thought, dont bother to answer that; your name says it all.

    • you are daft, GBM is a strategist, by staying in PF, he causes more confusion & challenges their authority – they can’t really smear him – the police cases are just ways to intimidate him – they cant afford him standing in the dock spilling the beans.
      By staying, leaves PF without a barometer by which to determine how big the shift of support will be till the last minute b4 any election, if they kick him out, this will anger more in Lubemba kingdom, who will then shift their support – as he will been seen to have committed no crime, but humbly given up his ministerial position on principle alone!

  5. # 8 – NIGGER OF NAGASAKI – You should compare apples with apples! Your example of Jesus with Sata is blasphamy! Dont ever, ever,ever say such things! IT IS FREE ADVICE!

    • @$@#*
      Analogy- An analogy is a comparison in which an idea or a thing is compared to another thing that is quite different from it. It aims at explaining that idea or thing by comparing it to something that is familiar. Sata in other words is Not Jesus and cannot be Jesus. I hope you understand this, and will have stopped being emotional.

  6. The policy maker, a politician is late for deliberations in parley, 30 min late ……and Zambians call him a hero, umwaume ….my foot. And we wonder why our country is not developing….when people tasked to represent us in parliament go late with no apologies…,and we the same people ululate them for their lateness. ZAMBIA TWASEBANA!!!!!!

    • Bo Mambala and bo Sunutu…, GBM was at parliament in time, but held up as they were trying toi figure out his new sitting arrangement. MPs are not all on time everytime. Clearly you have no understanding of parliamentary procedures and practices both of you and all those who reason like you.

    • Sometimes they are not even there and most of the times when they are there they are sleeping during proceedings. Leave Gbm alone!!!!!!!!’

  7. GBM is not a fool as to resign on his own accord from PF the platform on which he got to parliament, and he is also not stopping PF from expelling him. By not resigning GBM is telling us that he and his electorate have no animosity issues between them but it is the leadership in Lusaka that has issues with him. Let the top PF party organs go ahead and expel GBM what is holding them back?

  8. 30 min late was deliberate,but I don’t know up to now why every body worries about non issues like GMB.wena talk development.

  9. Fellow Zambians, we have no other country to which we can proudly call a HOME-COUNTRY apart from Mother Zambia. We must also take pride in our original villages and chiefdoms.

    The biggest message that is that GBM stood by his noble principles to support his Royal Chiefs and the integrity of the Bemba people. He resigned his Ministerial position based on civilized principles. GBM has nothing to lose financially. But many PF Ministers and MPs have opted to remain silence because they are merely servicing their Parliamentary gratuities.

    As for Kenneth Maduma, he has ruined his journalistic profession by participating in a deceptive Project to tell Zambians that Sata was in UK. Yet ZNBC failed to show photos/videos of Sata’s arrival in London. The truth will soon sprout.

  10. GBM aba ebaume not ba yes bwana.I repeat he is a MAN very courageous. Mwine mushi is running this country like a kantemba. GBM GBM GBM GBM GBM GREAT MAN INDEED!!!

  11. PRIDE GOES BEFORE A FALL. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT MOST PEOPLE HAVE FAILED TO REALISE. EVEN THE ONCE GREAT ROMAN EMPIRE FELL. EVEN THE TAITANIC SUNK DESPITE THE OWNER SAYING NOT EVEN GOD COULD SINK IT. ONLY TIME WILL TELL.

  12. GBM is not umwaume as many commentators would like to portray.His resignation was on the pretext of protecting his ‘blood’ the chitimukulu.Guys, how many of you have heard GBM talking about the chitimukulu? This man was a
    liability to the PF and his resignation is good riddance.Zambia has many rich people and do you hear them boast about what they have. I have never heard even HH boasting about what he has though he is among the richest in the country.GBM will soon learn that money is not everything in politics and i wish BY were still alive(MHSRIP) he could have given valuable lessons to GBM about politics and money.BY spent most of his cash flying in expensive choppers in the 2001 elections but to no avail.

    • Thats my point. That was our disscussion this morning. This said because of chitimukulu my relative i have resigned.but how come he has never talked about it.
      Zambians wake up
      You are being used as ladders.politician lie to you and you easily believe them all the time when are you going to stop and see that they cheating you.
      You are being cheated again and again.

  13. @ austin2021
    If you had money like GBM and was give an option to chose between your job and anything else what would you chose? A job?

    Decisions are not supposed to be made based on other people predicaments (BY). GBM has not formed a political party and also loosing out money should not be seen as a bad thing if driven by conviction and not greed.

  14. zambians make me laugh.if you plunder or abuse the authority of the office you become a hero. Thives steal their money and are called umwaume kwena kupena sana.
    Umwaume is being corrupt??????
    Where are we going zambia.
    Contrants are full of first degree corruption.
    Check the way chinise are getting jobs
    We are killing this country
    Shame on you
