Invocation of the Threatened State of Emergence constitutes abuse of power -GBM

United party for national Development (UPND) Vice President Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba has said that the anticipated state of emergency is only designed to silence opposition and critics in Zambia.

In a statement today, Mr. Bwalya said Edgar Lungu’s invocation of the Threatened State of Emergence is unnecessary and constitutes abuse of power designed to silence his critics and kill democracy and human rights in Zambia.

Mr. Bwalya noted it is now clear that President Lungu’s actions are premeditated and designed to strengthen the hand of dictatorship, adding that in Zambia there are adequate laws in Zambia which can be used to deal with any crime.

He stated that cases of arson can easily be dealt with under the Penal Code and other relevant pieces of legislation and it would not be prudent to declare a State of emergency to arrest arsonists.

Mr. Mwamba who is popularly known as GBM said what is required at this stage is for the police to undertake a thorough investigation and bring the culprits to book while ensuring that the Local authorities and Disaster Management Unit assist those affected by the fires to start a new life.

“What is surprising is that even before investigations are concluded, Edgar Lungu and his officials Inonge Wina , “Mwakalombe? stephen Kampyongo and Mumbi Phiri have already predetermined this case and the investigation may neither be thorough nor genuine”

“It was also shocking that Lungu could accuse the opposition of being behind these acts of arson claiming they want to compel him and PF to hold negotiations and form a government of national unity”

“To begin with, UPND has never sought and asked for discussions with PF for a Government of National Unity and we challenge him and the entire PF leadership to prove to the nation that UPND expressed interest to form a Government of National Unity”

“UPND has never and will never seek a government of national unity with a dictatorial regime. Lungu should show leadership for once and tell the nation where he got this fake information he is using to accuse the opposition of being behind the fires. If it is from the police, then he must fire his police command for incompetence or apologize to the nation”

“It is surprising that Lungu jumped to conclusions about the fires and other acts of arson without proper investigations and rushed to declare a threatened state of emergency”

We believe that the declaration of a state of emergency is not in public interest but in PF interest. The State of emergency was schemed by the PF government a long time ago. For example, in April this year Edgar Lungu warned while he was in Livingstone that he would bring a State of emergency if violence and vandalism continued” Mwamba said

  1. Has anyone got any information on the following;

    1. Where was Lungu born?
    2. Which primary school did he go to? (He went to Mukuba secondary school)?
    3. Does anyone know of Lungu’s brother or sister?

    The answers to these questions will tell you why the his no known information about Lungu before Mukuba secondary school.
    Once you know that, you will understand why Zambia has become what it is in the last 3 years.

    • This Great Bullshiit Man (GBM) is up to his usual antics…a hopeless failed politician and former drug pusher! Why hasn’t DEC arrested GBM for his drug dealing activities in took part in during the late 90s????

      As for the cretin above ask those same questions you are asking about your uncle GBM who everyone knows is a half Ndebele which is why the fat toad is always trekking to Azania to visit his relatives.

    • You 2020munelo

      You think every one is a convict like your ka fraud convict lungu ???

      And I tell you again no matter how much as.s you lick they won’t give that SUV you are crying for…..usless theif.

    • Do you know where GBM went to school. Who are his classmates who can tell the story?
      Did he pass his grade 7 if at he reached grade 7?
      What about his fake certificate from Zimbabwe? Is his fake certificate still fake or it has now become a genuine certificate.
      How much did he pay in Matero to print his fake certificate?
      Does anyone know GBM’s brothers and sisters.
      Does anyone know how he acquired his property? Is he a genuine businessman.
      Is he not a GBV and not GBM? How many times has he battered his his if we are to count even those beatings we have not heard about? Those closed door beatings!!!!

      The answers to these questions will make you understand why there so many arson cases and fire like at city market.
      With state of emergency in place this guy will have no room to…

    • Mother Malawi, Father not known but features of Kagames. Said born Ndola Central during time when Ndola Central was for Whites only. Zambians are to blame! They don’t scrutinize presidential candidates critically. ECL cannot be a pure Zambian because I have never seen any Zambian who is such as bad hearted person as him! Tinazigonga! Ayende kwao! Twakana chi SOE! Sitibwelela monga akavindele!

    • In which normal world can you expect a former drug dealer, wife beater, lumpene (GBV) and a ex privitisation crook (Human Hyena-HH) to become leaders of a country? Only in a dunderhead’s paradise will that happen, abena wanka and Nez your paradise is found on another planet so I understand your frustrations and hallucinations which is why last year in August I recommended you chaps should take BP medication…ati kikikiki…

    • Edgar Chagwa Lungu was born in Ndola but was brought up in Kitwe’s Chimwemwe Township. He started primary school at Mutende Primary School in Kwacha Township in Kitwe. After Mutende, he went to Ishuko Primary School in ChimwemweTownship before proceeding to Mukuba Secondary School. I have personally verified this information with headmasters of these three schools and with his former classmates and childhood friends in Kitwe.
      To the best of my knowledge, the current constitution has no parentage clause to restrict one’s ascendancy to the Presidency of this country. Even Guy Scott whose parents are from Scotland qualifies. So why are you people wasting your time on the origins of Lungus’s parents? You think this will disqualify him and put HH in State House?

    • EDGAR went to Chimwemwe A primary school. I am not suprised that you have not asked about who Hakainde’s father is. In Monze rumour has it that Hakainde’s father is Chintomfwa and was a known criminal. Hakainde changed his name from Sonny Chintomfwa to disassociate himself from his father but he still has his father’s thieving and savagery genes.

    • Be quiet fat Larry. You and your useless party and leader have brought so much confusion to the country. Atase!

    • …was born in kitwe chimwemwe went to ishuko primary school and mukuba secondary school .,..he also went to Kafue ZNS….So f.ool stop masquerading as an intellectual

    • Interesting answers… have you ever met or head of his parents, sister, brother etc? Where they ever any black people born in Kitwe Central Hospital before independence?????

    • Its darker before dawn soon tables will turn in will be PF seeking for help.wait and see.You get a gun to kill your opponent then suddenly your opponent appears behind and grubs your gun and points on you.Thats what will happen.Evil ones never win the war.

    • @ TheEngineer (Australia now Germany)

      What type of engineer are you? I said ECL was born in Ndola. I didn’t say he was born at Kitwe Central Hospital. For your own information, Kitwe happens to be my hometown and I went to two of the three schools ECL attended in Kitwe. So I am not speculating at all. I am just giving you accurate and factual information about him. You are free to dismiss it if you think I am lying.

    • @ TheEngineer (Australia now Germany):

      Lungu doesn’t even speak Nyanja but bemba. I strongly believe he’s a malawian Moslem.

      Most malawians migrated to the Copperbelt. Nyanjas migrated to lusaka. Lungu does not even have relatives.

    • @ Facts, have you heard of a black person who was born in Ndola Central Hospital before independence? get one for me?
      Where is his mother and father? Do you know of any sister or brother?

    • If this is tantamount to treason, please forgive me. But I wish the Chief Justice can take over from Lungu sooner to avoid this beautiful country zambia sinking so low in hosting the alleged dictator for president. Why should one person hold the country at ransom?

      The international community should act quicker in old to avoid the rebirth of another Mugabe cum Assad.

      God bless Zambia

    • This Soweto Fire thing has touched so many Zambians and i am sure if it was done by untrained party carder he would have been arrested by now but it was done by someone who is trained professional who knows all about the market and its security, Most likely from Office of the president or Zambia army, A guy from a compound can not do this and go undetected . EL, RB and kaiza zulu have managed to put cotton wool on everyone apart from me.

    • @TheEngineer (Australia now Germany)
      YES I was born at Kitwe Central Hospital in 1960 then called Llewellyn Hospital. My mother was admitted there from Bancroft (Chililabombwe) where my father worked as a constable in the police. For many years Chitwe (Kitwe) has remained at the centre of my life.

      In Chitwe, ZCCM awarded me a generous scholarship for undergrad study. When settled in a job at Technical Services, I met a Bemba woman and together raised two males and a female all born in Chitwe. The story goes on …

    • @ Chilumbwana,

      You have a point. ECL started first grade at Mutende Primary School in Kwacha Township. Then he went Chimwemwe “A”, then Ishuko, and then back to Mutende where he completed Grade Seven after which he went to Mukuba Secondary School. His residential address in Chimwemwe was House Number 4001.

  2. Well said GBM, we salute you sir……

    Lungu and kapoyongo knew about the fires before they happened , how ??

    • Can someone with a grade 12 certificate in upnd explain to him about article 31. Make him understand that there is no state of emergency declared. If hh did not promise amagedon and Mutinta volcanos and to sum it all Larry mweetwa congratulations on the attacks no one would’ve jumped to the conclusion that upnd is behind them.

    • I don’t like Lungu and I am UPND the truth I know is that Lungu grew up in Chimwemwe compound at primary level and in Kitwe at secondary level.His birth is not well documented he claims to have been born in Ndola others claim he was brought in from Burundi as a child with a Malawani Mother.The truth is that he is not Zambian and he once was a Moslem I used to meet him on his way to Makeni Islamic every Friday when he was really poor after his practice license was grubbed.The Truth is that Lungu is Malawian and his father maybe Tumbuka (wana wo pezamo)or real dad from Burundu which he never saw.

    • LOW GRADE ARTICLE
      ===============
      LOADING…
      ERROR, COMMENT CANNOT BE LOADED …
      (CONTENT IS CORRUPT)

  3. If indeed he warned in April that if violence and vandalism won’t stop then he would declare a state of emergency then he is right to do so this time around. I hope GBM understand what it means to lose everything like the marketeers lost in that fire. If it was him (GBM ) as President, what would he do?. Would he wait until Kafue Bridge is damaged or a water pipe frm Kafue is vandalised? . If its about a petition to be heard, then what does the law say?.

  4. “The best way to take control over a people and control them utterly is to take a little of their freedom at a time, to erode rights by a thousand tiny and almost imperceptible reductions. In this way, the people will not see those rights and freedoms being removed until past the point at which these changes cannot be reversed.” – Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf.

    This is what they teach in the school of dictators and it works! Guard and defend your rights and freedoms jealously! Once taken away, there is no guarantee they will be restored without a fight!

  5. Everyone seeking public office should have their personal profile made public for all to know who the people want to be their leader. The trend of political assessments and conduct of electing leaders in Zambia has led the nation to have an ‘elephant’ in the living room, very little to be done except to endure dictatorial rule of threats and state of emergency.

  6. Grade 6 dropout now talking about law…! Gbv, what is unconstitutional about president Lungu’s decision? U wanted the president to keep quiet and allow more havoc from your fellow cadres? Shame on u and your frustrated unzambian cadres.

  7. But UPND has been asking for dialogue what is that for if its not for Govt of national unity. PF has never asked for any dialogue but rather insisted on moving on.

  8. UPND are guilty as the saying goes…’The guilty ones are always afraid’… All Zambians know silently in their hearts that its some UPND Terrorists who have been involved and supported by the top leadership in this terrorist Party… Just check the language from GBM and you will know that its them involved… The powers the Republican President has used are in the Constitution if not why is UPND inclined LAZ not saying the President is acting outside the Republican Constitution…

    • We were under SOE for 27 years under KK. Maybe most bloggers were not yet born and they don’t understand what it means to live under a SOE – abuse and extra-judicial killings. Partisan politics aside but is this the route we want Chagwa to take us to start living in fear of one another? Hell no! If the PF MPs pass this thing, just know you will have betrayed your country – signing it off into the hands of a foreigner with no heart for Zambia. This is ridiculous!

    • Bamba Zonke Republic – Do not tell lies, what abuse and extra-judicial killings under KK’s SOE? Any abuses that KK committed had nothing to do with the SOE – they were just his abuses.

  9. Lungu alesabayila those are side effects of arvs which are not working. Alefwa

    • If Mwango Charles was behaving the same,when he picked a fight with chitimukulu.He laughs the last laughs the longest.

  10. Do you know where GBM went to school. Who are his classmates who can tell the story?
    Did he pass his grade 7 if at he reached grade 7?
    What about his fake certificate from Zimbabwe? Is his fake certificate still fake or it has now become a genuine certificate.
    How much did he pay in Matero to print his fake certificate?
    Does anyone know GBM’s brothers and sisters.
    Does anyone know how he acquired his property? Is he a genuine businessman.
    Is he not a GBV and not GBM? How many times has he battered his his if we are to count even those beatings we have not heard about? Those closed door beatings!!!!

    The answers to these questions will make you understand why there so many arson cases and fire like at city market.
    With state of emergency in place this guy will have no room to…

  11. Upnd is history today.tomorrow is 10th July and it will mark 90 solid days since HH went behind bars and there is no sign of his release!!
    As for you GBV please keep quiet because you are a mere G 6 school drop out,so you cannot educate president Edgar Lungu who spent 5 solid years at unza studying law.us majority Zambians are very happy with the actions taken by PF Govnt because Govnt cant just sit and watch upnd’s die hard tribalists burning mother Zambia-NO!!
    SO YOU CAN HUNG GBM WITH YOUR DEMOCRACY,HUMAN RIGHTS-WHATEVER!!Zambia’s security and peace are far much vital than upnd’s cry for democracy or human rights!!

  12. Well spoken, GBM. The fact that ALL those opposed to what GBM has said have clearly FAILED to stay on the subject and come up with a mature point-for-point rebuttal in a rational manner, but instead have degenerated the debate into childish name calling, speaks for itself.

  13. Edgar Chagwa Lungu was born in Ndola but was brought up in Kitwe’s Chimwemwe Township. He started primary school at Mutende Primary School in Kwacha Township in Kitwe. After Mutende, he went to Ishuko Primary School in ChimwemweTownship before proceeding to Mukuba Secondary School.

Even Guy Scott whose parents are from Scotland qualifies. So why are you people wasting your time on the origins of Lungus’s parents? You think this will disqualify him and put HH in State House?

    • Spaka, obviously his license was not suspended on the grounds of his background, a reason for your response to @Facts. BTW, how are you?

    • And you expect us to believe your flawed verification? We docile Zambians are waking up now. We won’t believe people who are Christians in the morning and Moslems in the afternoon. We also don’t believe people who have corrupted their way through and through. Headmasters and a few weak Zambians can easily be corrupted with money to falsify records and peddle lies like Chiluba did! Appalling!

  14. Well said. The fact is PF are always right and everyone else is always wrong. If you want to be right you must support all the wrongs committed by PF. Is it possible? Let us wait and see!!

  15. @1 everyone on the opposite becomes a foreigner to you. Na bu Engineer bwenu ma labishi. With your supposed Education and exposure one would expect sober and well informed debate. Anyway I am not surprised what with sewer of kaponya like Mwamba at the help it’s possible Upnd has been contaminated.

    • You have mentioned “kaponya’ in your writing. But looking at your language, who is a kaponya? Sound minds discuss issues with solid reasons.

  16. Uyu GBM chipuba ,I can’t stand to listen to a fool like this one, the fires are not just acts of arson the idea behind these are meant to affect thousands of people with huge economical loses intended paralyze the nation economically which can lead to people rising against govt,the to evoke these powers is now to use them as a tool to stop the mess and not after the investigations, we need the opposition to provide checks and balances not war,I said GBM cipubu remember.

  17. even a Kid knows that its PF which burnt the City market in oder to declare state of emergency.The same state of emergency will back fire on Lungu like a bouncing arrow.It will too fast for anyone to notice what hass happened.Those who kill by the sword die by the sword.Tell me what killed Chiluba and Sata if it was not their actions.

    • Foolish *****. Did Lungu promise Ammagedon, turmoils, and not accepting defeat??? You are in for it shamwari.

  18. TheEngineer (Australia now Germany)
    Has anyone got any information on the following;
    1. Where was Lungu born?
    2. Which primary school did he go to? (He went to Mukuba secondary school)?
    3. Does anyone know of Lungu’s brother or sister?

    The answers to these questions will tell you why the his no known information about Lungu before Mukuba secondary school.
    Once you know that, you will understand why Zambia has become what it is in the last 3 years.
    ARE THESE QUESTIONS ABOUT GBM or LUNGU

  19. @chilumbwana thanks for bringing up the issue of the parentage of Human Hyena (HH)! It is a known fact that HH is a product of an incestous relationship between cousins – as a matter of fact HH is an Ila and not a Tonga- everyone familiar with Ilas will tell you they are rough chaps and very arrogant but often very, very dull and backward thinking. It is also said that the late Great Mazoka was infact the father of this wasted sperm called Hichilema and that his surname was only given because of the nature of his birth (him being an inbred). These are facts and I challenge the like of Larry Mweetwa to prove me wrong!

    • @2020vision quote: “It is a known fact that HH is a product of an incestuous relationship between cousins”

      The situation is worse than this. The version I heard from a lady who comes from the same village as HH is that he is product of an incestuous relationship between a brother and sister. To conceal the whole scandal, the family let one of his uncles a Mr. Hichilema adopt and bring HH up.

      Has anyone ever heard HH talking about his father and mother? At least with ECL, just go to Chimwemwe and you will meet his childhood friends and they will tell you about his dad and mum.

  20. GBM is spot on. U don’t declare a SOE to arrest Arsonists. Lungu declared a SOE as planned to keep HH in Jail indefinitely after 30 days to the HC have expired. The SOE is targeting HH,UPND and all those opposed to Lungu’s newly found Dictatorship. Lungu wants to destroy politically and physically HH,UPND and all Opposition Parties in Zambia. The Arson attack has been described by Lungu as sabotage becoz he knows that this was an inside job and the Culprits are well known PF functionaries. Why is it that the so called UPND Terrorists and Arsonists have not been arrested by now? They don’t exist and the Arsonists are State Sponsored.

    • But ba Zulu, you’re crying out cornflakes. If what you’re saying is Edgar’s motive then ask yourself his, the SOE is subject to parliament approval and you think a wise man would go that route if he wanted to punish your boyfriends in UPND? Just go and bath period

  21. PF cadres resort to ranting and insults when they cannot defend Lungu.
    Non of you is trying to discuss the issue at hand here.
    All you do is insult the writer and don’t even try to debate the issue at hand.

    • @katombonoko 2 days ago you were wishing death on the legally elected President of Zambia my President right on this site! You think some of us will take that lightly??? As far as I know you are one of the lowlifes busy starting fires, so you and your fellow wasted sperms and blood thirsty united dunderhead sa.tanic animals can go back and hide in the hairy arse.whore of your tribal Lord Human Hyena (HH) where you belong..worthless hopeless cretin!

  22. @ TheEngineer (Australia now Germany)

    What type of engineer are you? I said ECL was born in Ndola. I didn’t say he was born at Kitwe Central Hospital. For your own information, Kitwe happens to be my hometown and I went to two of the three schools ECL attended in Kitwe. So I am not speculating at all. I am just giving you accurate and factual information about him. You are free to dismiss it if you think I am lying.

    • That is still speculation. Publish his certificate of birth – though there is a risk it could be a fake one from Matero. Guess what? I have never met or worked with a Zambian who is as evil-hearted as Ba mwine. This level of vindictiveness is unzambian! He is not a Zambian! I don’t believe people who are Christians in the morning and Moslems in the Afternoon!

    • @Bamba Zonke Republic

      You must be one of these ill-informed youngsters (the yobally type) with very limited historical understanding of this country. In the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, and to a limited degree even the early 1960s, in the urban areas on the Copperbelt, most people were born in clinics in the townships and not in large hospitals like Kitwe Central Hospital (formerly Llewelyn Hospital). Large hospitals were often the preserve of whites. Those not born in clinics were born at home using traditional birth attendants. For such births, you won’t find any birth certificates.

  23. Tyrants and abusers of power always cite an excuse such as “national security”…China ,Uganda ,North Korea ,Zambia .

  24. It is a pity that UPND members feel they have quality leadership in GBM with a humble education of Grade 7 – if he ever attained it at all. The only skills GBM has is his genetic in-born traits of violence and insults. One day the Tongas will get their fair share of insults from this uncultured UPND Vice President -a “MURUMBU” hired for political convenience but prone to be discarded by the real UPND inner-circle.

  25. PILATO” TO MY HUMBLE PRESIDENT, PRESIDENT LUNGU SIR PLEASE PROTECT YOURSELF LEST YOU BECOME WHAT YOU ARE FIGHTING. WHEN DAVID FOUGHT WITH GOLIATH, HE WASN’T ARMED LIKE GOLIATH. DAVID DIDN’T FIGHT GOLIATH LIKE GOLIATH WANTED TO BE FOUGHT. WHEN GOLIATH SAW DAVID WITH A SLING, HE MOCKED HIM WITHOUT RESERVATIONS. WHEN DAVID WAS FOUGHT BY KING SAUL, DAVID STILL DIDN’T FIGHT SAUL IN THE FASHION THAT SAUL PLANNED. EVEN WHEN DAVID HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO KILL KING SAUL, DAVID COULDN’T LAY HIS HAND ON HIM. IN THE MIDST OF GREAT TEMPTATION, DAVID REALISED IT WAS NOT IN HIS POWER TO TOUCH THE ANOINTED MAN OF GOD,

  26. Little minds in the opposition is the most scary story of our time! Under Five Clinic is a contagious disease! Seems ignorance is a disease among the opposition parties in Zambia which they suffer! Likewise, the supporters of this regional party are just as deluded as the Free Mansion himself!

  27. @Political Advisor just as ignorant as the one speaking above and the other one in an isolation ward. Oh! I forgot and the followers here!

  28. That Donkey running mate GBM, he comes across as someone who is disappointed that he can no longer easily carry out the arson attacks, I suspect he is under pressure within UPNDonkeys party to justify his actions which many believe have backfired with disastrous consequences on the UPND as a party of donkeys.

  29. Because of the terrorist threat in UK, the British government actually does have something similar to what the Zambian government has just invoked. It probably goes by a different name or article number. The emergency powers is what facilitates the invocation of different levels of security alerts in the UK depending on the level of threat. For example when they invoke red alert you will see heavily armed security officers on the streets of London and elsewhere. During that time, the security can search or stop anyone they think is a threat. So its not only here where the government has responsibility for the security of its citizens. It is all over the world that is why citizens put a government in place.
    Simple facts ba UPNDonkeys!!!! Grow up.

  30. When is GBM’s assault case going to be concluded now that he is well and fit to host press briefings? And what happened to mmembe’s arrest warrant? Its time Lungu got serious with law and order or our country will go to the dogs due to weak leadership. Democracy should not equal to weakness and lawlessness. A dictatorship is much better than a war torn country anytime, anywhere in the world. Ask Libya & Iraq. Let’s not fail to do the right thing simply because we are scared of what a few ignorant white men will say.

  31. Ba GBv,are u 4geting that larry mweetwa confirmed on fb that it’s de upnds that are burning things,your own cadres?

  32. The slogan for the PF at last elections dununa reverse. and what does that mean ??? Amos chanda stated that by the next election zambia will be a one party state. From an apolitical observer itbwould appear that thePF party has had an agenda sinec before the last elctions………..Terrible 2020 njumbi I really appreciate your well informed inside knowledge as to wherthe my observations are correct or not thank you

  33. GBM put it right that the state of emmergency was promised long before on condition that violence and vandalism of property continues. GBM, check Larry Mweetwa , a senior UPND social communication members’s postings. He has been praising such bad acts by UPND cadres for a long time. As a consequence, people will be subjected to limitations in what they will be doing, where not to visit and so on and so forth. GBM shouldn’t comment on law he least understands.

  34. politics of the belly god father as you appear to be in australia you are no doubt aware that it is appoint of law here to prove the facts before accusing some body of a crime. I do not see or have heard of any proof that your assertion that upnd supporters are responsible for bad acts.
    I know that each party supports its own, much like a football match, but to continually accuse your opponent of wrong doings to highlight ones own innocence becomes tedious to say the least. The international community isn’t really affected by pf or upnd blogs each country has observers on the ground who report. the more you blame the opposition pipo ask why so much blame,is it divert attention from themselves

  35. NEZ and Spaka, Mr Charles Kakoma has advised that we ignore your comments on LT and other social purporting to support UPNDonkey party and its leader underfive. So now who ate you representing?
    At least myself and other progressive people are trying to make a stand for the wellbeing of our people and our government. What about you and the arson terrorism?
    Yapwa UPNDonkey party, who can support terrorism to innocent poor families? It seems to me that UPNDonkey party will not appear on the 2021 ballot papers. Bye bye donkeys, politics in Zambia are not for donkeys.

  36. I thought a few days ago fat Albert was sneaking around, afraid of being arrested. Why has he not been arrested? He claimed to have been in this hero’s convoy that obstructed eagle 1. Arrest this kaponya quickly quickly!!!

  37. I am not suprised that you have not asked about who Hakainde’s father is. In Monze it is talk that Hakainde’s father is Chintomfwa a Zimbabwean and was a known criminal. Hakainde changed his name from Sonny Chintomfwa to disassociate himself from his father but he still has his father’s thieving and savagery genes.

  38. ‘To begin with, UPND has never sought and asked for discussions with PF for a Government of National Unity and we challenge him and the entire PF leadership to prove to the nation that UPND expressed interest to form a Government of National Unity”’

    ECL never said this you are right GBM, what he said was some oppositions had these plans. the problem with the opposition is that they r following what PF is doing or saying or acting; no proactiveness. we v so many problems in the society that we expect the opposition to be dealing with, bu t nothing we are at the mercy of PF now

  39. GBM’s politics are toxic. Every Zambian has a rural (home) base to retire to as we ultimately migrate from the urban areas where our children are left to thrive. GBM (from Kasama), along with Nevers Mumba (from Chinsali), Mutale Nalumango (from Kaputa), have gone on rampage to despise their rural base and traditional Chiefs. They have chosen to seek refuge in transitional-habitats of Lusaka and Copperbelt. GBM’s contempt exhibited in the process of installing the new Chief Mwamba reveals a lot about his toxic brand of politics. Apparently, Chief Mukuni has demonstrated that he will never welcome Bembas – including GBM, Nalumango and Nevers Mumba when age catches up on them – in his Toka-Leya area chiefdom.

    • @Mwansa Kabinga,
      The fact people like you opposed to what GBM has said have clearly FAILED to stay on the subject at hand and come up with a mature point-for-point rebuttal on the specific points GBM has raised in a rational manner, but instead have degenerated the debate into CHILDISH TRIBALISM, speaks for itself about your kind.

  40. BREAKING NEWS on BBC.
    A huge fire has gutted a Camden Lock Market in London. This comes barely a month after a fire gutted a Tower block in London. These fires come soon after the elections.
    So now these fires are caused by opposition? And England is going to declare a State of emergency?

    • If others compare Zambia to UK you’ll say ati UK is not Zambia but when it suits you UK suddenly becomes Zambia.

    • @ndanje khakis,
      LOL – For you to pretend you do NOT see clear parallels between fires in Zambia and fires in UK, with totally divergent responses from the two Govts (One subject and in search of a pre-meditated excuse, the other one resolutely objective in spite of the fatalities) speaks a lot about your true intent.

  41. Patriotic Front (PF) Presidential hopeful Edgar Lungu has dismissed circulating media reports suggesting that he is of foreign heritage.

    The Defense Minister has clarified that both his mother and father were bonafide Zambian citizens.

    He has stated that his mother was born in Chitupula village in Chief Kalindawalo’s area in 1936 and not Malawi as suggested by what he called political adversaries bent on denting his image with the Zambian people.

    He has furthermore states that his mother name was Eliza Jere whose National Registration card number was 135619/67/1 which was captured on 16th December 1965.

  42. @47.2 point missed ….on purpose again. Simply put I am not discussing the two governments reactions because I don’t under what circumstances the UK fires started. Point is your habit of shifting goal posts to force nature to suit your wishes

    • @ndaje khakis,
      What shifting of the goal post are you talking about ba gayi? What point missed? I think you’ve mistaken me to somebody else, or your predetermining is now gone into overdrive and you are making things up.

      Of course you do not know how the under what circumstances the UK fires started because an objective and thorough investigation is still being carried out and is yet to be published. But you are implying you somehow understand how the Zambian fires started, even before an objective investigation is done and published. So, like Lungu’s Govt, you have a predetermined outcome you want to see. So the investigations ARE GOING TO BE subjective to meet the predetermined outcome. Plain rational thinking.

  43. Gloomy Boastful Monkey, aka, GBM should go back to the intercity bus terminus. That is the problem we have now in Zambia, even NGWANGWAZI like him can talk about the president like this…mmmmm awe this is very sad. He also wants to rule Zambia? This guy should just tell the nation why he is hiding and not just ranting like this…..ichilufumooo.

  44. @BRABUS, The truth is a painful pill to swallow. Chief Mukuni has openly declared war on non-Tongas. GBM was UPND’s newly discovered Bemba monster to exploit and use to discharge dirty deals when the Tongas pretended to play civilized antics. Recently Mr. Katuka revealed that GBM is not a factor in UPND’s leadership. GBM rantings to the media are merely a face-saving for having erroneously joined UPND.

    Mrs. Mazoka was bearer of a message to install HH as UPND leader. Hence the fate of Patrick Chisanga and Sakwiba Sikota after Anderson Mazoka’s death? The warnings being served on GBM, Nalumango and Nevers Mumba to gauge their own future welfare as age catches up with them are timely. Their own grandchildren will question the wisdom of their folly.

    • @Mwansa Kabinga,
      Your futile attempt to change the subject by bringing in primitive tribalism which only exists in your head, is proof that you ,my friend, have FAILED miserably to address the specific points GBM has raised. Ala mune uletala wabelenga nokumfwa umutwe we lyashi, elyo walandapo. Noti ukulasabaila fye.

  45. Can anyone waste time on the address by this man who does not understand the law itself and pieces of legislation.

  46. Only lawless individuals do not want law to be enforced. GBM your explanation is not making any sense at all.
