Kasama Central PF member of parliament Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba
Chishimba Kambwili says Kasama Central PF member of parliament Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba is not normal. And Kambwili says acting President Dr Guy Scott has remained the pillar of the party following Michael Sata’s death.
Meanwhile, acting President Scott says recognising Paramount Chief Chitimukulu now will be cheap politicking by the government. During a rally in Mungwi yesterday, Kambwili said the money that Mwamba had was making him run mad. “How can you have a misunderstanding in a family and you decide to go and live with the neighbours? A mad person is not difficult to recognise, you can just tell from a distance just by looking at their stomach.
So don’t allow GBM to come here with his stomach which looks like it is full of flies to tell you lies. Ichiwelewele tacha shupa ukumona,” he said. Kambwili said Mwamba had no political direction and there was, therefore, no need for people to follow him.
“When GBM left government as a minister, he claimed that he left because of the misunderstandings that existed at that time over the Chitimukulu but when Wynter Kabimba was fired, he came to Solwezi saying ‘I have come back to PF because Wynter who was making my life difficult has left’.
So you can tell from all this that the man has no direction,” he said. And Kambwili said acting President Scott had remained one of the people PF members could run to for guidance following Sata’s death. “After the death of president Sata, we now look up to acting President Scott as Sata,” said Kambwili.
And speaking when he met Kanyanta Sosala, the Paramount Chief Chitimukulu designate, acting President Scott said he could not recognise him as the paramount chief because he had no powers to do so as acting President but was hopeful that Edgar Lungu would act on it. “We shall make sure that your issue is properly handled. As acting President I don’t have the powers to sign the statutory instrument to gazette you,” he said. And during a radio programme on Radio Mano later, acting President Scott said: “It will be cheap politicking to recognise Chitimukulu now. We need to do it in an orderly manner. As soon as we have a proper government, not one of 90 days, we will recognise the Chitimukulu.” And Paramount Chief Chitimukulu’s advisor Pius Kasonde Kasutu said there was need for people to maintain peace during this period.
“All those taking part in the elections should ensure that they maintain peace during this time. We have observed that you have sweated in your position as acting President but we know that this is meant to maintain peace. We are grateful to you for the peace you have maintained,” said Kasutu
