THE UPND has challenged Patriotic Front (PF) deputy spokesperson Frank Bwalya to name the people who attempted to bribe him so that he can continue demanding the production of Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba’s Grade 12 certificate.
Edward Mumbi, the UPND presidential spokesperson (special duties), has described as ‘‘political astute’’ Fr Bwalya’s statement that he rejected a bribe from some UPND members.
Fr Bwalya claimed in yesterday’s edition of the Daily Nation that some UPND members attempted to bribe him so that he could continue to pressure Mr Mwamba, popularly known as GBM, to produce his Grade 12 certificate.
Mr Mwamba, who is vice-president for administration, has however assured the nation that he would shock Zambians when he produces his qualifications at the right time.
Speaking in an interview, Mr Mumbi said the UPND did not believe Mr Bwalya’s revelations.
Mr Mumbi said the remarks were portraying a ‘‘dirty and evil kind of politics’’ the PF deputy spokesperson was bringing to the country.
“Mr Frank Bwalya is being politically astute and his remarks lack decency. The only thing missing from Mr Bwalya’s statement were names of the people who approached him,’’ he said.
Mr Mumbi said the only thing that the PF deputy spokesperson deserved was to be congratulated for his refusal to accept the bribe and nothing more.
And the UPND presidential spokesperson has described as misplaced Mr Bwalya’s statement that UPND president Hakainde Hichilema’s presence at this year’s mining expo in South Africa was of no value to Zambia, but meant to consolidate his friendship with his foreign paymasters.
He said the remark was unnecessary and advised the PF deputy spokesperson to check the various issues raised by the UPND president with the Government.
Bwalya a lunatic on the run? When the madness of an entire nation disturbs a solitary mind, its not enough to say the man is mad.
Just wait for Bwalya to respond. Again you won’t believe him because that’s upnd nature. The only advise I have for gbm is to move away from upnd because he is not liked by these people.
What is Frank’s role in trying to demand G12 certificate from GBM?
Iwe mupatili! Tell us! At how much did PF bribe you and your party for? Stup!dity has no limits for sure you re a disgrace to say the least. You suffer from oral diarheoa or is it Zika virus? Stop being nosy in other peoples party there’s so much work that awaits you uniting your so called PF. Sha
HE IS A LIAR, WHAT A SHAME FROM CHILD OF GOD TO LIES. TYPICAL PF PROPAGANDA.
Frank Bwalya is a Chainama patient currently on the run….. In his current mental state he can say anything just understand him please I berg don’t harm him he is confused
Bwalya is a shame to human kind! Disgusted!

Frank Bwalya It’s like he was once in accident so he’s mental distubed he z nt normal i think days to cum he will start picking papers in the streats a nmormal person does nt behave like this no matter how much money u b given to speak rubbish for a normal person he ct behave like this
This is the only best time GBM can shock the nation by producing his G12 certificate,former G12 classmate,former G12 teacher or even n of his former secondary school he went to. Stop insulting FB
I find it had what Mr Bwalya stands for. Anyways such people are there to be with us. Hope such people value their trust and think of how long it will last.
… AND THESE ARE THE CHARACTERS THAT MUMBA IS GOING TO WORK WITH. ACTUALLY WORK FOR? LOL BA FRANK BWALYA? KEKEKEKE THERE IS NO CREDIBILITY IN OUR POLITICAL ARENA IF THIS IS HOW LOW WE HAVE SUNK. FRANK BWALYA ACTUALLY REPRESENTS THE POSITION OF THE RULING PARTY.
The purported bribe must have been lower than what his paymaster gives him! The likes of Bwalya desperate for a “good” life would not reject a juicy bribe! Not to worry that Mumba would work with the likes of Bwalya they share similarities!
IT IS ALSO SHOCKING TO HEAR THAT, IT IS SHOCKING TO THE ZAMBIANS WHEN ONE PRODUCES A GRADE 12 CERTIFICATE. DOES IT MEAN THAT 99%OF ZAMBIANS FIND IT DIFFICULT TO ACQUIRE A G12 CERTIFICATE? I WON’T EVEN WRITE ABOUT A DIPLOMA AND A DEGREE. FOR THESE MAYBE ZAMBIANS FAINT, COLLAPSE AND DIE.
Bloody these crooks are called or terms father in zambia… Wat a disgrace…. In no way this country is behaving under the “Christian nation” tag…. Total chaos… Lies… Plunder… Deceit.. Corruption… Use ur brains my patriots…
There is no way Frank Bwalya can refuse to accept a bribe in form of money, never. This is a fake story.
… political astute… Is this supposed to be positive or negative, bwana Mumbi, or is it a slip of the ‘tounge’, perhaps?
Bwalya has been informed that GBM has a G12 qualification and he now wants to bring confusion to UPND by making wild accusations.
Politically astute? What is that? Vizungu va mu Zambia?
Astute; ‘having or showing an ability to accurately assess situations or people and turn this to one’s advantage’.
Now, using ‘politically astute’ and ‘lack(ing)decency’ in the same sentence describing one guy scares the living daylights out of me!
Grade 12 clause has to stay…
Well, then it is about time GBM broke the silence and produced his G12 certificate amidst this turbulance, hyped speculation to bring this frenzy to a halt. What on earth is he keeping quiet for. My gosh.
I have had the opportunity of meeting and discussing issues with with Father Frank Bwalya who is generally being portrayed as a looney on this website. Strangely, I found him to be intelligent, reflective, and knowledgeable about issues. I think the problem we have in Zambia is personalization of issues. Some bloggers are opposing Father Bwalya not because he is saying something stupid but because he is Father Bwalya.
And instead of asking Bwalya to name the alleged suspects, why cant HH ask GBM to produce his g12 certificate to stop this madness? Why should this take all this trouble?
.
HH be careful with that Edward Mumbi you have brought close to you.He is a manipulator and will demonise those that have stood by you through the years in order to seek your special favours.He produced a fake BENG degree at Zamtel and lost his job and later fell foul with MCS.He is devious and mark my word,you will regret allowing him in the inner circle.Nonetheless we will vote for you because we believe in you and not your lieutants like that shorty chanda beu.Also his use of the term “politically astute” does not make sense.
Political astute is best term associated with HH political failure.
Bwalya tsotsi tefintu.
There is way Gbm can produce his G12 cert just to prove something a rat and *****y blogger want here. How cheap is gbm to stoop so low to your level?
Vote hh to end all your problems.
Ba Frank Bwalya chipubafye mwe.
The man is not normal.
No wonder he can not marry.
