Anthony Bwalya’s assuring words that “President Hichilema will not spend time to act on Ms. Chirwa’s nude videos because he is busy focusing on job creation” made my day. Bally’s intelligence and morals continue to shame his opponents. The President is not a pope, who should be addressing what adults choose to throw on social media. Like the President, our uncompromised DEC Director’s fight against corruption has no bearing on her pornographic material. Thanks again Mr. President–your judgment speaks to your unmatched integrity. Gotcha politics won’t distract our agenda–creation of jobs without morality is the way to go.
Bitter PF losers have sunk too low. Who on earth would celebrate the indignity of pornographic material linked to DEC Director? What she does with her body is none of your business–sex is a private matter unless it involves carnal knowledge against nature. I mean homosexuality or gayism! Aren’t we a Christian nation? And who doesn’t know that Bally wholeheartedly loves, trusts and supports Madam Chirwa. So how could he watch her pornographic material to make his own judgment? It is akin to watching obscene material from one’s own parents.
Misogyny is an established norm in politics–women are held to higher standards than their male counterparts. Pastors and politicians have had sexual scandals, and remain in office. Madam Chirwa is not a politician, a pastor nor a nun. She leads the Commission that demands integrity, I fully agree. But this issue is not about morality or integrity–it is about job creation and corruption. Didn’t Bally tell us that a clique has started fighting back? I am afraid that the click of tribalists, thieves and hegemonists have more videos to come. I won’t be surprised if Bally is the next target. But who cares? Sex is a private matter and Bally must stay away from it.
I opposed former Religious Minister Rev. Godfridah Sumaili’s crusade of forcing Christian values on the secular state. Now she is back calling on our beloved President to fire Madam Chirwa. Well, Rev. Sumaili fought so hard for Christian morals. Aside from fighting sex toys and “gayism,” she never fought against corruption. Why? The PF had no values when it came to stealing. Could it be that Madam Chirwa’s next catch is the Reverend herself?
I understand those calling it a scandal. I am saddened that our President is not calling for the investigation of the source of this material? Is this not cyber bullying, which is a crime in our Christian nation? But nonetheless I applaud President Hichilema’s refusal to address this fake scandal. We are in power and not in opposition. Our duty is to catch corrupt PF officials and not preach morality.
Fred M’membe’s wisdom that “seeking morality, [and] justice… without compassion is cruelty” is foolishness. There is no compassion when it comes to PF thugs. No wonder he supports gayism; the immoral act that Bally disavows. Regardless, does he know the source of this material? The police must investigate M’membe. Might he be the source? And where is Mr. Kajoba?
I am highly disappointed with the Inspector General of Police, Mr.Kajoba. Seriously he doesn’t deserve our President’s trust. When KBN Journalist Petty Chanda exposed the leaked audio between State House Aide Levy Ngoma and Home Affairs Permanent Secretary Joseph Akafumba, Kajoba did a great job. She was arrested. Didn’t Kajoba arrest attention seeker, Chilufya Tayali for claiming to have correspondence from the military? All these on the Cyber law of our saintly nation. So why is he silent on this obscene video? Doesn’t he know that the New Dawn administration is infected with PF cadres who must be locked up? Is he the source, or equally compromised by similar videos? It is hard to tell the mole from a rat in darkness. So our President must wake up before Kajoba finishes him.
Anyway, it doesn’t matter! Madam Chirwa has exceptional and unquestionable integrity. Nobody knows this truth better than Bally. It is one thing if the video involved homosexuality, or Iris Kaingu–the woman so proud to show off her nakedness. Wasn’t she recently arrested and charged for the crime of indecency? But this is about the DEC Director, for God’s sake. I am afraid that our President may be forced to fire her. But this is highly dangerous. Who knows other obscene videos involving the New Dawn administration or the Bally himself out there? More than anyone else, Bally believes that lies, credibility, morality and decency are the engine of the New Dawn machinery.
PF cadres, please seleniko tubombeko ba mambala!
How can he act without instructions?
It wasn’t me….
Matt Hancock, the former British Health Secretary resigned after leaked videos of him kissing an aide in his office. I know praise singers hate such examples; but Mary Chirwa must take a cue from Matt Hancock. No one is INDISPENSABLE.
That’s why they are called developed nation’s… everything is developed even their conscience is developed. Don’t forget that.
@One Love. I am not a praise singer but your example is totally wrong. Hancock kissed when there were COVID restrictions. It was not the kissing that was the problem. They all do that. He broke the same law that HE had put in place. Ms Chirwa is not a lawmaker. She is a public servant but her private life is hers and hers alone and none of anyone’s business. What a woman does with her fruits and her camera is not anyone’s business.
A statement from Mary would be nice. It’s messy situation, the only good parts are the thighs and the kitty.
Fake scandal. How so? Imagined or real, all occurencess must be investigated. But, how does one investigate those on his side? If this is not selective sift and probe, then what is it?
A public figure has no private life. Sometimes, what we have done in the past always comes out later to haunt us. Whether this scandal of nudity is perpetrated by the opposition or someone else, it must be probed by officer Lemmy Kaloba.
Is Mary Chirwa indispensable? How differently must she be treated than Lillian Siyuni?
Not gonna happen, Zambia pa chalo. And now there is this narrative that the videos are doctored.
Surprisingly this is being spread everywhere. Don’t be surprised if the final conclusion from the forensics is that the videos are fake.
Remember, we are still waiting for authentication of the Levy and Akafumba audio leak.
That’s died down. This will end the same way.
I think the New Dawn govt is elevating the meaning of hypocrisy to new levels, ati “President Hichilema will not spend time to act on Ms. Chirwa’s nude videos because he is busy focusing on job creation” Ha! can we, for just one second, imagine that the person in that video was, let’s say, a certain Lillian Siyuni, would this state house statement have been the same? Could there have been a loud silence from Mr Lemmy Kajoba? Your guess is as good as mine
The majority of the comments on the matter are from the PF aligned crooks who are the culprits in the leaks of the so called video in order to draw people’s attention away from the real things, we know know these losers will do anything to look innocent. What a bunch of evil and useless politicians. Looters shameless thieves of all time
Go sleep. You really think thousands of people decided to leak her videos because they are PF supporters?
I’m not surprised…. so only PF members can tell right from wrong? The rest must remain USEFUL *****S like you
Do you understand satire? Let me know and we will take it from there
We want to hear Mary’s side?
Who does she think betrayed her?
Mentionng who betrayed her won’t negate the issue. Her best defence is being mute than exposing her complicity and collusion with the case. Her greatest shield is either be mute or plead ignorance or that the face in that video is NOT hers.
“…Madam Chirwa is not a politician, a pastor nor a nun….”
Correction, she is a pastor and prophet actually.
Rev Sumaili should be ashamed, she was as quiet as a log when Mabumba was showing his Mabumba. She was quiet as a church mouse when Sichalwe Lawrence was sharing his videos.
I feel second hand embarrassment at her showing up now.
And don’t expect police to act on this, they are always aligned to ruling party. They would have jumped to arrest without investigation if this was anyone from the former party.
In the same way police did nothing against Mabumba and Lawrence, it’s the same way they will be inactive in this case.
Unless it’s Iris Kaingu
It is because hh has instructed him not to act. Chirwa and hh have been farking and it is feared that she has some videos of hh. So they cannot prosecute her.
Leave HH alone….
HH is not interested at looking at Chirwa’s Pu$$y in the video gone viral…. but only First Lady Muntita Pu$$y.
But why is Ms Chriwa quiet..yes she is doing an excellent job at DEC; we need her side of the story.
Again this piece is satire! Recent pieces from Kapya have been satirical. BA Tarino Orange, the author is arguing that she is not fit to carry her duties with this baggage around her. Bally must show leadership
Someone here has lost it completely. Please let’s not use uncouth language especially against our leaders whether we like them or not. I wonder why Lusaka Times allows this gentleman to post so much rubbish while innocent posts are subjected to fake moderation.
Who?
My voice… you must be new here. Right now he’s posted profanities not expected from an adult person.
I have no doubt in my mind, that, the lady at the centre of this matter is not stupid! She is at the top of her organisation afterall – she must be clever.. right? So, based on this, we can safely conclude she made the video fully understanding what she was doing and possible outcomes, including being uploaded online, and going viral! It’s what might follow when videos are uploaded. Therefore, the fault lies entirely with making the video at all. Everything else is consequence, & secondary. Blaming those who exposed the video content, without dealing with the creator, is like blaming the police for catching you stealing. “It’s your fault you caught me”. It doesn’t work like that!
# plant a tree please.
I think you’re missing the point here. Your argument is the author’s too. I hope I’m not reading the piece.
The issue should be which desperate and cowardly PF cadre posted the video without shame???? We know that PF thugs will do anything to sway the public from real issues, just like they failed to account for all the crimes e.g. 42 million dollars wasted of useless fire tenders, 1.2 billion on ndola lusaka dual carriage way…and many other crimes… use of live ammunitions that have killed innocent people etc
So the Mabumba video was posted by Upnd? Simple question is how did the PF make that video? Did they plant a camera in her home. Or did someone from PF steal her phone.
Leave HH alone….
HH is not interested at looking at Chirwa’s Pu$$y in the video gone viral…. but only First Lady Muntita Pu$$y.
Friend please don’t debase yourself using uncouth language
Typical upnd behaviour
imwe pa Spaka muli ituya!
Ba Spaka munachita ku shuliwa!
Mary Chirwa’s continued stay at DEC will be more disastrous than it would be if she resigned voluntarily. She will be doing things with cifukushi to hit back at her imaginary enemies. Such will be her viciousness like a rabid dog. Before Bally loses the fight against corruption Chirwa must leave the stage to others who may have a bit of moral fiber to track criminals. What’s Bally’s concern in relieving Mary of her duty at DEC? Does he think corruption can only be fought by madam Chirwa and replacing her will jeopardize the crusade? MC has lost the credibility to carry on the task at hand..
