Zambia is not experiencing political tension-Frank Bwalya

PATRIOTIC Front (PF) deputy spokesperson Frank Bwalya has advised United Party for National Development (UPND) members to reflect on what they refer to as political tension because the country is not experiencing tension.

Mr Bwalya said the UPND should not even blame the purported tension on the PF, because it was that party’s leadership that did not want peace going by the way they kept disrespecting President Edgar Lungu.

He said the UPND should stop making statements aimed at shifting the blame over the arrest and subsequent court hearing involving the opposition leader Hakainde Hichilema.

Mr Bwalya said the PF was not the Judiciary or the police to arrest or try any person.

“Not even the President makes decisions for the courts. I urge UPND party members to stop accusing the PF party of being behind the arrest of their president,” he said.

Mr Bwalya said this during the ‘Let the people talk’ programme on Radio Phoenix yesterday.

He said it was unfortunate that the UPND kept on making statements that gave the impression to the international community that the country was under political tension.

Mr Bwalya said if the UPND members genuinely felt that there was tension in Zambia, they should discuss it among themselves and find the real cause of the tension.

He said that UPND members should humble themselves, dialogue and accept that President Lungu was the Head of State until the next elections when Zambians would have another opportunity to elect a leader.

    • The United Dunderheads (UPND) failed too create chaos despite their cowardly actions of starting fires across the country when their crooked hate inspired tribal leader Human Hyena (HH) was arrested for endangering the President! Now they are trying to make a case across the international media! Let the international media follow all actions committed by Human Hyena and his blood thirsty followers starting from their tribal ways, their violent attcks on non UPND members after elections in their strongholds and their hate speech on social media including their ZWD site funded and supported by the United Dunderheads-if the foreign media do this they will see HH and his thugs for what they are Blood thirsty animals/ cretins!

    • @1.1 this is what Mushota has done to you such that you are also always on the computer to read her posts. it takes a thief to know a thief… find something reasonable to do than what u r doing now.. believe me you sound like a fo.ol to a normal person.

    • There is no political tension is Zambia.
      We only have a handful of indiscipline citizens who are UPND wanting to force their way to plot 1.

      We must just keep HH behind bars because he is a danger to the nation, his family and himself.

    • Well said ba Bwalya. Tension in Zambia only exist in the minds of the bitter UPND cadres. Otherwise for the rest of us, life goes on pa Zed. We go to work and do everything without any drama or change to our lifestyle. Just because the bitterman HH is incarcerated doesn’t make the country unstable. Life goes on bane

    • Is this Fr. Bwalya and Mulenga Kampamba the info minister related? I see they both have very bony faces and I wonder what an offspring between the two of them would look like!

      Is there a blogger on this forum out there who can make that possible for these two to have a baby? …

    • Whether tension or not, there seems to be a lack of leadership and calm in Zambia at the moment. Surely what happened on the road in Mongu cannot lead to treason, unless we live in an autocracy. The longer it takes to pass a verdict on HH, the more the outside world will look at Zambia as a dictatorship, even if the ruling party claims it is not.

    • he has actually proved to be another a.s.s.h.o.l.e in government.He used to be a God fearing man and now is a thief under pf regime..lol

    • Frank Bwalya, your denial of obvious things will definitely take you to hell. You will only agree that there is political tension in Zambia when you see the Rwanda 1994 happening in Zambia? Your blame game has become a broken record and foolish. How is the UPND to blame when your President is refusing to have the UPND PETITION HEARD IN THE COURTS OF LAW? Isn’t the PETITION that has brought all this? Bwalya your denial will KILL YOU. Even better Politicians have noticed that there is tension in Zambia, who are you to deny that?

    • SATA didn’t entertainment such people close to him because he loved his PEOPLE. LUNGU has surrounded himself with THEM. Someone has a PhD.

    • @1.3 government we come to LT to check if you as government are fulfilling the promises you made. Mushota is trash we find here completing a PhD in the process. We actually follow you government. That should make you feel good

    • FINITO, (FINISH), FULL-STOP. ONE LEADER AT A TIME, PLEASE. ZAMBIAN LAWS DON’T ALLOW TWO LEADERS AT A TIME.

    • We really need help in Zambia…I can not believe that people like Bwalya would say that there is no political tension in the country….I don’t belong to the UPND but it’s pretty evident that the Zambia is falling apart and moving backwards with these thugs so called caders…you can’t force people to accept or acknowledge you as the head of the “POOP” unbelievable….

  2. THE FALL OF JERICHO: FAKE TREASON CASE EXPOSED

    Loading…
    WHAT AN EMBARRASSMENT TO PF.

    Emmanuel Mwamba was LIVE on TV in South AFRICA, he said President HH Treason Case dated last year in October. That’s when HH committed the Offence.

    Yesterday AMOS Chanda embarrassed the entire PF, he was LIVE ON ALJEZEERA, he said President HH blocked the Motorcade of Edgar Lungu in Mongu.

    Do these guys pay attention to what is happening in court?

    The Prosecution Team changed the charge. They said HH went for his INAUGURATION in Mongu because many

    • I am looking for a job at Aljazeera that’s why I keep going there. So what do you want me to do then? You have a PhD.

  3. You are not seeing it because you are the one planning it. The majority of the people of Zambia do not want to see it blow out in their faces. You have created tribalism, divionalism as though you were not a man of God. Mr Sata ignored you and now we understand the depth of your thinking. HH is not an ordinary person as your mind thinks. He is tolerant and has direction otherwise as we speak now Zambia would have been in two pieces. This is what led Ethiopia and Sudan to break. Allow the government to speak about the issue. Mwaice iwe ninshi taumfwila kanshi.Shila ubuteko bulelanda. Have you not seen that Eastern Province people in PF are not talking about the issue? They understand the consequences of careless talk.

  4. Frank Bwalya like an Ostrich is burying his head in the sand. When Lenders and Aid Donors tell u that u cannot expect any new Loans and Grants until Lungu releases HH and his co-accused unconditionally from Jail, there is respect for Human Rights,there is Good Governance, there is a return to Rule of Law to Zambia etc. If this Is not Tension what is it? Zambia wants $1.6 Billion from IMF but that wont come until Lungu meets certain conditions including releasing HH from Jail unconditionally. The International Community including AU and SADC have told Lungu to release HH unconditionally and hold Dialogue with him. Economic,Financial and Travel are being threatened on Lungu and his Advisers. ICC is the process of indicting Lungu and his goons for committing crimes against humanity. There is…

    • UPND are dissappointing.Why are they so quiet.I would have expected them to have engaged the IMF by now to give the full story.The bailout this government seeks should not be given to them as they will only use it to pay their cadres who make up the so called internal debt and after getting paid they will resort to insulting and harrassing us.

    • Mailon

      The UPND can only do so much…..for freer of arrest and brutality….concerned citizens like you and me can help by petitioning the IMF via email to their ethics committee, found on their web site.

      If we all raise our concerns to the IMF and world bank and EU of lungu using their money to harass us, we might help our once vibrant democracy

  5. why are Bembas talking all the time?…. I have never heard Easterners talk … Have you heard RB talk… RB is eating quietly…….. Ba Father Chiyabi Bwalya can you not be silent for some time? Did you use to talk like this when you were serving Eucharist during your Priesthood?

    • Because Bembas are chaos-mongers. They are tripping over each other to harass and condemn UPND, Tongas and HH, while the easterners are quietly looting the treasury. All eastern Ministers and MPs are very quiet like nothing is happening, while the Bembas are going nuts with fake statements!
      “Easterners are sly”.
      ~ GBM in 2013

  6. IT IS VERY AMAZING. ZAMBIA IS VERY PEACEFUL RIGHT NOW. BUT YOU CAN ONLY FIND CHAOS ON ZWD AND IN THE MINDS OF UPND CADRES. THEY ARE IN CHAOS. RUNNING UP AND DOWN. ORGANISING DEMONSTRATIONS BY 5 PEOPLE IN LONDON, 6 PEOPLE IN RSA, BURNING SOFT TARGETS IN ZAMBIA. HOPING THAT ZAMBIANS WILL GO TO WAR. UNFORTUNATELY, FOR THEM WE ARE NOT MOVED. BUSINESS IS GOING ON AS USUAL. MUTATI IS BUSY OBTAINING LOANS FROM DONORS KIKIKI. CHIKONKO MWIKATE ALILE……I WISH GENERAL ELECTIONS CAN BE CALLED JUST NOW TO GIVE THEM ANOTHER RESOUNDING LOSS.

  7. Until we get rid of the political prostitutes zambia cannot move forward. Every politician is recycled to satisfy their own needs.
    Where are our university educated graduates. Look back all the old guard started in politics when they were young. How many young zambians have the guts to stsnd up and be a spokesperson for this generztion and for their children and grandchildren. Do u want our children to be in poverty forever. Do you want our sister to prostitute herself to put food on the table. Great christian nation , only on paper. Youth changes nations not old political prostitutes. They might die rich but they still die. Nibody smiles in a coffin

  8. Just because there is no tension in his under wear for lack of being a man he thinks the same goes for all men. Stupid *****e.

  9. Chisenga. Ypu live on loans what a great endorsement of the finance minister that he is runnjng up znd down getting loans…….Hello mr intelligentsia loans have to be repaid. With that enormous brain of yours enunciate how we are going to repzy our debt. Forget the strategy of begging to the lenders that we are a poor african nation so please forgive us and forgive our debts.. just because they did it once am sure thdy wont do it again.
    Chinese are clever give government loan, no repayment take over znbc. Now we have a free media. No china can dictate what is disseminated to the gullible populace. What has happened to zambia. Yes our tourist slogan,zambia the real africa…self fulfilling statement. We were unique in africa. Now the just the real African

  10. when you are driving a car, you are usually inside and you cannot see how dirty your car is outside. many are times when one would find some writings on their car like, “please wash me”. I also do recall a story at primary school those days about the emperor’s new clothes

  11. When an ethnic group is vying for political office, it will argue that it is “our time to eat”.
    It is time for Bembas and Easterners…. Check the people holding top gvt post mostly Bembas and easterners… Look at the Cabinet….
    Look at the parastal heads ….
    State house has chased other tribes and it is full of Bembas and easterners…. Kaizer Zulu…
    Lungu cant speak other languages other than Bemba and Nyanja…..
    Actually , how many Bembas can speak other languages…. Many of Bemba say ifi tundu fimbi fya likosa….
    Ask Mumbi Phiri, Amos Chanda to speak Lozi, Tonga, Lunda or Luvale…. you can hear the worst excuse…. worse still Kaizer Zulu…
    Shame on you bembas and Easterners….
    This tribes talk a lot and eat a lot….. I live with them and arrogantly state they…

  12. If there is no political tension, why do you not allow people with divergent views to demonstrate? Look at South Africa where even PF cadres were allowed to demonstrate

  13. Frank Bwalya looks much fatter. He’s been eating PF money stolen from us tax payers. Let me tell you this Frank Bwalya, you will pay back all the money that has made you fat and you will look the same way you use to look. The law will be followed to recover money from you. The only way you will survive is if you have not eaten stolen tax payer’s money. The day will come when justice will prevail.

  14. Father Bwalya you have said it all. I never imaged that people can be so wicked like these UPND Twits. They know very well who has caused problems in our Country.They have terrible hearts may God help them. Have you seen HH’s recent photos( FACE)? FAT,ULGY AND EXTREMELY BITTER. Bitterness will kill this Man not PF.Will never rule, Amen!

    • Thy language betrays thee. It speaks loudly to confirm my fear that it is in your heart that wickedness resides.

  15. Zulu, which dialogue. This pathetic man has refused to dialogue he wants to be president and nothing else but the majority spoke, they don’t want him, they want EDGAR LUNGU. Surely how many times should you be told? ZAMBIANS( EXCEPT YOU KNOW WHO) WANT EDGAR LUNGU PLEASE!

  16. I urge UPND party members to stop accusing the PF party of being behind the arrest of their president,” bwalya said.
    and then there is no political tension in the country???????. bwalya think again.

  17. Are these the kind of mangwams who can admit there is tension even if it is crystal clear it’s there.

  18. LUNGU IS THE MOST VIOLENT PRESIDENT WE HAVE EVER HAD. FROM THE WAY HE HE BECAME PF CANDIDATE IN KABWE, ALL LIES WITH INONGE WINA AND SOME CORRUPT HIGH COURT JUDGES. THAT BEHAVIOUR HAS CONTINUED. HE IS A TRIBALIST. HE ONLY KNOWS PEOPLE WHO SPEAK BEMBA DIALECT OR COME FROM EASTERN PROVINCE. HE IS ALWAYS HIUNTING FOR POLITICAL OPPONENTS
