Mpombo Vs Rev Lungu: Clergyman ‘spills the beans’

Share

EVANGELICAL Youth Alliance (EYA) president, Moses Lungu has said former Defence minister George Mpombo and other senior MMD members allegedly approached him requesting that he launches a series of attacks on President Rupiah Banda shortly after the elections last year.

Speaking at the lapse of the 48-hour ultimatum that he gave Mr Mpombo to resign from the MMD and state the reasons for quitting Cabinet and the national executive committee (NEC) of the ruling party, Reverend Lungu said leaders should strive to remain with integrity.

He said Mr Mpombo was part of a group that paid him and another non-governmental organisation (NGO) about K2 million for them to start attacking President Banda.

Rev Lungu said he declined to embark on the mission despite getting the money.
He challenged Mr Mpombo to explain queries raised at the Ministry of Defence over unretired imprest when he was still minister.

He said the tension the former minister was causing against the MMD and President Banda was unnecessary and that he should respect people elected into public office.[quote]

“I expect Mr Mpombo to speak the truth, all I request him to do is to tell the nation the true reasons for his resignation,” he said.

Rev Lungu dismissed allegations of receiving financial aid from Mr Mpombo on account of destitution.

He also denied ever being excommunicated from the Baptist Association as alleged by Mr Mpombo, saying he was still a credible clergyman.

However, Mr Mpombo described Rev Lungu’s allegations as cheap and unsubstantiated propaganda.

He said Rev Lungu was being used for negative propaganda by some MMD members.
On allegations on unretired money, Mr Mpombo said Rev Lungu should know that imprest was recoverable and not treated as a crime.

“I was just informed of the unretired imprest money by my former PS [permanent secretary] long after I had resigned, so that cannot be a reason for my resignation,” he said.

He said a month ago, he held a meeting with Secretary to Cabinet, Joshua Kanganja, Ministry of Works and Supply Permanent Secretary, Bizwayo Nkunika, and his former PS to resolve the matter.

“This matter was resolved because unretired imprest is recoverable anywhere and is not a crime,” he said.

Mr Mpombo said it was even laughable that Rev Lungu could talk of such petty allegations when he threatened to spill the beans about him just a few days ago.

He described Rev Lungu as “toxic political material trying to earn a living through impersonations and malicious attacks”.

Mr Mpombo said whoever had evidence linking him to any malpractices when he was at the Ministry of Energy was free to take him to court.

He also said he was aware of an article on the Internet suggesting that he had oil dealings with former first lady, Maureen Mwanawasa when he was Energy minister.

  1. This Lungu is a quack that doesn’t even have a grade 12 certificate.I met him when he approached a friend on Katondo to help arrange a fake certificate so he could get a job at DEC as a chaplain in 2007,but the boys played a fast one on him.This quack is a vagabond that can do anything to get money.He is a reverend from the devil.

  2. I haven’t seen a beans spilt. Why is he failing to mention the other MMD officials. Lungu is a 4 corner paster with a katemba church.

  3. Ba Lungu bena chipuba. He accepted the money and did not do what he was asked to do? This man is not even worth appearing in the media, he is a waste of space. Ba reverand ba masushi. This is the worst political era I have seen in the political history of Zed. How can we deteriorate to such a level where we have blockheads and dumb people fronting our country. Please let us remove these low quality people and concentrate on development. Ifipuba fyonse from chi Shriek chenu!!!!

  4. OMG! This is what poverty can actually do…i wonder if this pastor has any flocks,because those people he is pastoring are a lost flock.what an imbecilic self centered, good for nothing pedantic lying cretin this so called pastor is

  5. O my God, please kill these devils who are trying to use yo name. why did he even get the money from Mpombo, shameless Rev. Rev my ass.

    We are planning for a party to celebrate Zambia’s independence in the city next month. Any Zambians in or near the city leave a message here.

  8. This Lungu chap must be arrested and charged with corruption. How can he receive money on such grounds as he claims i.e the K 2 m and not act. If he is honest enough, why did he not say then but now that ‘Diesel’ Mpombo is out of cabinet.

  9. This fake,bogus,shameless.*****ic,skullduggers useless quack called Lungu is a let down cleric he accepted the bribe please Acc arrest this fool.What a nonsense iwe akapuba wa mupamba.

  10. This Lungu, is he normal? Is this the beans he was talking about? Who r the other MMD members that approached him? This man is cornman. B careful pipo of the so called clergyman.

  11. Anyone with infor on this chap please bring it forward, i really would love to have a chat with him,i tried to google this same Evangelica Youth Alliance, link goes to xtremezambia.com,pls people lets root out such cancer from zambian politics,i wouldnt be suprised if next he is appointed PS in some ministry,remember that lungu chap who championed chilubas 3rd term,these are the same characters

  12. This is the problem pa Zed. You are annoyed because you keep eating beans day in day out! Now you want to spill the very beans that keeps you going? Surely, how can a ‘credible’ clergy man even say that “I refused to embark on the mission despite getting the money?” Te nsala fye iyo? Thats not beans you are spilling, iwe chi Lungu! Thats nonsense you are saying. we expect ACC to act on this extremely credible information and arrest Lungu for Corruption. Pa Zed, once you admit corruption, you go scot free!

  13. So ba Rev.You are corrupt.I wonder if you paid your Tithe from the same money…hope you havent been given another k2m again…or maybe K3m…..My advice,,,,,REPENT.

  14. Such chaps ruin the name & image of the church in society,& like kwaanza says,that reverend from the devil should be arrested for he is very corrupt,wat beans was he talking about???That he received 2m from old George….And who are the other MMD officials????

  15. This Lungu is Crap with Ka church akabula mano. Please let Mpombo alone. Do you want a cut from MMD or is Mulongoti sending to talk Rubbish. To hell with all your allegations. Please leave Mpombo alone

  16. This Rev has no intergrity at all. He is just a thief who gets money in pretence all in the name of the church. No wonder he even accepted so he claims, so little as K2 M for such a heavy task. He is infact spoiling his reputation as a Rev by mentioning such nonsense to the public. I even bet that he been given K 150, 000 by those talkative, nonsensicle and heavily corrupt remaining two bootlickers whose demise we long for, to say such crap.

  17. So, how much have you been paid this time to attack Mpombo and by whom? Utisebanya ise ba ku Eastern. Kupusa bati…..Agalu imwe.

  18. LMAO! Ndipo this Rev is an embarrassment to the pulpit. Who’s reverend is he? Can someone gag him please. I am not Mpombo’s supporter but this Lungu chap makes my stomach churn. 

  19. I have always said that Zambia is one country on earth that will never run short of destitutes like this Lungu.We were all geared to listen to what was in the 48hrs ultimatum little did we all know that it was all craaaaaaaaaaap!You ve wasted my time you little *****.And the media could you please stop giving brainless pastors the platform to exploit their foolishness to the maximum ?Find a job Pastor Lungu.Stop begging its dangerous.

  20. He said Mr Mpombo was part of a group that paid him and another non-governmental organisation (NGO) about K2 million for them to start attacking President Banda.

    Rev Lungu said he declined to embark on the mission despite getting the money.

    what nonsense is this, this guy is just a common thief who has again been paid to speak like this by RB

  21. This Clergyman is maybe out of his mind. There is no beans spilt. He has just repeated what we have heard already. His mission has no span. I hope next time BaLT you will be serious with characters like Umupina Lungu. He is already guilty and it proves Mpombo right that he is a destitute who wants to make money. The fact that he received the money knowing what it was intended for he also conspired. Shame on Lungu.

  22. A skulduggery. Toxic Politician/Clergyman. Personal envoy to the Devil. All such terminologies are far less the proper & fitting description for this so called pastor or is it Reverend. I sit day & night wondering why the church has been engulfed by serious irreligious vices, events & personalities not knowing the likes of Lungu are peddlers of such rancorous & discordant machinations. My heart bleeds 4 the flock this pagan is leading coz he’ll lead them into total destruction faster than they joined the church. If he truly does not possess even a G12 Certificate, to an extent that he went to Katondo street 4 a fake one (as # 1 says), then there’s no substance in his bones, no wonder he spilled hot air instead of the promised beans! Anyway save the beans 4 your meals. Nausebena Lungu…

  23. Rev Lungu you received the money and thats puts you in a spot. That 2m is finished now you want RB to give you more. You are a sell out. If I were RB I would through you like D. O. G that you are.

  24. REPENT BABA, COZ YOU HAVE JUST SPILLED YOUR OWN BEANS. PLSE LORD GIVE US A CALEB OR JOSHUA WHO WILL SAY WE ARE WELL ABLE TO TAKE ZAMBIA BACK TO GOD.

  25. This conman Lungu is typical of the government leadership in Zambia today. Development and good governance will forever remain a pipedream as long as we have such pathetic characters in our midst.

  26. I agree with number 1. This is a lost chap been used by the fading MMD. Rupia will live to regret his association with FTJ. MMD stinks!!!!!!!!!!!!

  27. Lungu is not only a disgrace to himself but a bigger DISGRACE to his sponsors. Even for those who want to fight Mpombo is this the type of ammunition you can use, just shows how useless our leadership is. For all his previous utterances right or wrong and the current debate on the convention, mwasebana ba MMD. You start making people like Mpombo look heroes, shame!

  28. Goodmorning abena Zambia, mwashibukeni bonse bane?

    Iyeee ba Reverand, ati I will spill the beans, kanshi nabobene muli chilemba emobali (he is part of the beans he is spilling). Does he not know that he can be jailed for accepting bribes from a Government official? Two wrongs don’t make a right imwe ba Lungu, don’t you have legal advisors?

  29. On a serious note, let ACC move in. We have a self confessed criminal here. Further he failed to report that incidence within the stipulated 48 hrs. He must be tought a lesson that crime does not pay. ACC please arrest him. And if Mpombo paid the money, he too must face the law. There should be no sacred cows where crime is concerned.

  30. You aren’t fit to be called Rev you are a disgrace to both the Church you lead your wife & Children stop your nonsense before you spoil your own children. As the the Saying goes

    ” Umwana wa nkhonko amwene ba nyina ukunyela mukola” I think you’ve been paid by someone again this time double the Mpombo amount. No wonder you are spilling warm air.

  31. If u were told it’s best way to get into limelight and possible become popular, then u are wrong! Your popularity is quickly leading u to destruction and pliz tell those using u that the whole scheme has worked out progressively with no desired results.
    Am sure Mpombo classifies u together with the Buffoons, Twits, Nincompoops, Devil’s envoys etc. shame on you. And please next time save us your drama, we’ve a lot to worry about and not nonsense. We’ve headaches day in & out figuring out how we can get this country to have proper leadership in place (which is currently missing coz we’re on Auto Pilot going by the events), and then u come out after being sponsored to utter stinking nonsense. Try hard to slow the pace of the winding clock coz b4 u realize it, 2011 will be & u’ll be no…

  32. A total fool. A waste of space. if only the power that be had made him a dog, his s***, would have been more usefull as plant manure! He only spit his stinking bowels, what a shame! Somebody tell that F*** to shut the hell up! You are self confessed corrupt crook, at least some other people i know have the guts to deny it in public. You are a total waste! Iam at loss, are your parents alive and happy to bear such a stupid son…..

  33. mwi lansetinga baiche…am taking note of ur names….inga mwaisa kuno mukachimona….ndi na bena 2pac kuno…nachi lila.ni nebo Local govt minister na kuno..watch it…stoll i stand.

  34. Hey Senior Citizen, Where are you? You seem to know when to talk and not. Could you kindly advice this FUZZY Lungu on the lesson of good manners.

  35. Rev Lungu hasn’t got even a church to pray from .He was renting a two bedroom council house in KQ’S stage 2 where he has been making noise for residents in the name of praying.Let him just concetrate on preaching the word of GOD may be he will make some small money for his living than wait for hands from politicians.Its a sharm for a Rev Lungu to receive braibs from politians.Let him just humble him self and work for GOD.

  36. Uncle George W. Mpombo will be live on Mwape dot com’s Blogtalk Radio show this saturday September 19, 2009 for a minimum of 2 hours.The talk show starts at 14:00 hrs Zed time and 08:00am NY time. call in or listen and engage him on online.A load of think tanks involved and be one of them with your call.To talk to Uncle Mpombo, with your call on: +1-718-766-4857 or log into Brain drain then click blogtalk radio to listen to a live interview on Diaspora Voice when? This coming Saturday at 8:00 am NY Time (14:00 hrs Zambian Time).

  37. Mpompo please hit back i like your grammer .By the way who is mpombo by profession .he propounds very good english bomberstick words.

  38. I said it even the other day, this the Devils Disciple! This is what you call spilling the beans and giving ultimatums over, when your hands are dirty, your mouth is filthy and your thoughts defiled, Devil. You are cursing yourself Bast**ard. You a big joe, a ******ing id*****ot.

  39. LT please can you filter some of your stories, its better to have very few sensible stories on a web site than to have lots of rubbish stories by people not even known to there own families.

  40. #62 Anointed by whom? Most of these chaps including ka Chiluba are the devils anointed! Chiluba and all the other bastards are the devils own.

  41. This is what poverty can do. This Chap Lungu has destroyed himself to palp. They always say and I quote “Silence is the best mode for the uninformed”. This Lungu is not only illiterate, unwise, but totally ignorant in all fronts. He has lost the plot from all angles of reasoning and Mpombo did well by challenging him to come out and now whoever has paid him this time to attack Mpombo will lose faith in Lungu instead and will deny ever sponsoring him.

  42. Please, ninkani yamu moba iyo..when u r trying to zook some lagers, not something substantial to report to a tabloid. I htought the man would really make a major revelation. yaba…

  43. Ba Lungu kanshi ngamwaikelefye. You have done more damage to yourself than you intended for big George. Is this why you kept us waiting for 48hrs? My advice to you is leave your role mudala and seek urgent help from somebody more credible than yourself. After your confession yesterday not many people want to listen to you anymore. They make sad reading and are only helped to dent the already questionable vocation of priesthood. God help us!

  44. #65, I equally wonder who does the “anointing” of the Lungus and Kafupis. I do not dispute the possibility that the devil does his on “anointing”. Test every spirit.

  45. Just shows how shallow minded this clergyman is. He is even proud to tell the whole nation he was offerred 2,000,000 and that he got this money. Just why talk about this now and not all this time. Rev a***ss why have you been sielnt. You are a shame for the clergymen of Zambia. And what would stop an id******iot like you from getting man from anyone. You are really amazing

  46. Nkani ya shriek ya mu vuta Peace. Naine sini ziba but it’s not hard to tell who it is. Hint: who has got features similar to Shriek..spitting image in fact

  47. Fellows, I know Moses Lungu very well. He used to be a mini bus pundila in Kitwe before he went to a small baptist bible college. He did not finish grade twelve and the college accepts any applicant as long they can read and write. When he graduated, he tried in vain to get a Church within the Baptist Association but none could take him. At one time his wife left him temporarily as he was accused of sleeping with a girl they were keeping. The next I heard was he was working for DEC.

  48. Can the Anti Cooruption Commission move and have this chap arrested. This is corruption if your samll chicken brains iwe Ka Rev are not fuctioning. You have said it your self. So ACC arrest and charge this chipanzie. Awe nombo pa Zambia kwena chavuta

  49. Lets be serious pa Zed, such kind of Revs bring God’s name to shame. When they hungry they accept anything. When they are full, they speak anything

  50. A clergyman is supposed to keep confidetial matters to himself. That is why in some churches members can go to their priesr and confess their sin be it adultery etc with confidence that the matter will remain the cubicle. But with the type of Moses Lungu I wonder if anyone can risk their reputation. I hope this Lungu is not the former Nchanga Rangers player.

  51. EYA ba Lungu! Nindalama shachepele? Mulingile mwalibwelelako elyo baya mikanina naimwe mwebele kanshi ‘I will spill the beans!’ Sold your soul for K2m and are now bound for hell! How sad.

  52. i just feel this chap has wasted my precious time by making me read the news article… its sad what’s happening to this nation & out of all this i’ve come to appreciate people like Mpombo who i used to think were twits

  53. does this man knows the imprications of what he is saying?or he has 100%support form rb?
    why have we destroyed the country to this stage?allowing useless people to stand and say nosense, the whole country waited to hear what this man of god will say.he comes out to say f ****.what a shame.this man is suppose to go and sing choir ku chimbwakaira

  54. People stop condemning me….I could not resist the temptation…it was my first time to see K2,000,000.00 with my naked eyes….and again i could not resist RB’s offer…K2,100,000.00.

  55. ladies and Gents, just some issue of this topic. Bushe Ba Doctor Chiluba balipola?? During his trail he was always in SA for reviews but nowdays it seems he is just OK.

  56. LOL,This guy (Lungu)claims he got the money but dint do wat he waz told to do,a corrupt clergyman confesin 2 da public,this shows dat his bn fed by MMD.

  57. I have just rad the first paragraph of the article and can’t really bother with reading the rest of it. it suggests to me that the Reverend has received more money from the Rupiah camp than was offered by the Mpombo camp! Surely the man has no integrity cus if he really did he’d never have accepted the K2m in the first place. Shame on u reverend!

  59. Lungu must have been given a brown envelope by the powers that be to say all this rubbish in order to intimidate Mpombo. They have misfired. I can’t wait to hear Mpombo hit out with some of his jawbreakers, he is a no-nonsense man.

  60. It’s finally been confirmed here. Fellow bloggers no wonder you were all misled into thinking the beans was going to be Kapiri, Kablangeti, solwezi or indeed the white beans little did we know that the new farm in chipata (eastern) is also growing beans, and this particular one is new entrant on the market. No wonder when it was spilled, there was no public scramble for the beans coz it’s of little recognizance. It’s the RB Farm beans. Quality is very bad, takes 48hrs too cook yet the price is K2million per meda!. It’s advisable to have it prayed for by the Clergy b4 cooking b’coz its effetcs can only be told by those who have gone to Morning Side Clinic in S.A.

  61. Stupid man and you claim to be a man of God ata bane lesa tewakwangasha.tai spill the the beans yangu tata ubupuba bwaingila namuma chalichi.

  62. The beans has been spilt in the bedroom. which beans now Rev? This Rev should be very adulterous in church. He needs brain scan if this is what it means to spill the beans. To me it is luck of understanding of GRZ governance and whoever is sending him has chosen an amateur who still needs capacity building. Try me!!

  63. This Lungu is really fake. Why does he only pick on Mpombo while he says that Mpombo and other MMD members approached him and an NGO which he has not named. Who are these other MMD members and the which NGO?

  64. #71Mukandeke, You look beatiful ninga kuchete iwe anso, ah! I will ask the Rev Lungu to find you for me. More dial tone my lady. Kufi tinikatinika fi mazero! KUCITA CITA!

  65. Chi Lungu what were you thinking,are you really a Rev? KA MUSELELA KWA KABA……for how long have been swallowing tha beans?
    where has that k2m gone? now you want some more from BA BWEZANI.Please ACC you take action,we tire of this childish politics. TA WAKWATA AMANO SANA…….BWABA AMATOLE NGE NSEGELE

  66. Rev Lungu wholeheartedly accepted the 30 pieces of silver(equivalent to K2m) and chewed the money.He is no different from Judus in the bible and so no one should listen to a word that comes from his cheap mouth.

  67. Iwe Moses Lungu, What a useless Reverand you are. You are no different to the other fake reverand Shikapwasha.
    Bati poverty is BAD.
    Now we challenge you to name the other senior MMD officials who approached you to prove your allegations.
    We cipuba we, just wasting our time as if you would reveal anything sensible.

  68. So if this kid Lungu took the money before, what makes him credible now that he has not been paid again to go after Mpombo? Pa Zambia, awe paliba ubuwelewele. So, what beans as been spilled? What a pinhead of Rev this chap is. MMD. and Zambian Govt are a joke.

  69. This is really interesting. for the first time all bloggers are united in condemning someone. I wish we could always unite like this on major issues

  70. I will spill the beans,what type of beans is this?BEANS ya ma soja(soldiers)yamene sikupya
    olo upikebwanji,inveka chabe ibisi,but ukadia ipyera MUMALA,OK ba lungu u can now spills
    the maize, since yo beans is not TESTING GOOD when eating it.

  71. When I was younger, we used to call the Rev Lungu type TWAZ—Time Wasters Association of Zambia.
    One thing you bloggers didn’t know is that statements by these tuma chaps like Rev Lungu, Lifwekeke, Cifire, Cosmo Mumba et al, are faxed to media houses from the ministry of information. I am sure this is where they are paid from after Emmanuel Nyirenda the PS helps them draft the statements.
    Mwaikatwa bakapala.

  72. Ati spill the beans. What a joke. if only he left out the part that he took the money. Chisuhi mbuzi uyu !!

  73. I KNEW THAT HE CAN’T SPILL THE BEANS HE NEEDED SO MUCH BUT HIS ROT OF GETTING K2M. AND WHERE IS THE K2M. IG, ACC, DEC CAN U MOVE ON THIS C R A P

  74. BUT I AGREE WITH #139 THIS CHAP HAS EATEN MPOMBO’S K2M IN A CORRUPT STYLE WHICH HE NEVER REPORTED TO LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICES. GET HIM AND MPOMBO WITH THE NGO AND OTHER MMD MEMBERS HE MENSIONED

  75. IT IS TIME FOR RB TO SILENCE MPOMBO BUT HE SHOULD ALSO BE PREPARED TO SACRIFICE KA REV LUNGU. HE TOOK THE K2M AND CHEWD IT AND THATS WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE A CORRUPTION CASE. POLICE MOVE IN START WITH LUNGU

  76. Hunger at its best thats why i don’t respect Pentecostal pastors and it would take 10 cranes for me to step my foot in their tutembas no matter how big some of them are. For those addicted to speaking in tongues at least join Northmead Assemblies

  77. A FOOLISH FOOL. THIS ****ER HASN’T EVEN GOT AN IOTA OF SHAME TO PARADE SUCH REVEALATIONS ABOUT THE SIN HE COMMITTED BY ACCEPTINGB A BRIBE, IN PUBLIC LIKE THIS? GOD WHERE ARE YOU? COME QUICKLY TWACULA. NGATAMWAIKILE MWE LESA, AWE KWENA TWALANINA. TALUSHENI IMBWA ISHI MWICHINKA LYENU MWEMFUMU, KAILI PALENI KAICE WENU MPOMBO MANO YAKUMONA APO UYU PUSHI LUNGU TENGAMONA. TWAMILOMBA.

  78. Hi, i think that i noticed you visited my weblog so i came to go back the prefer?.I am trying to in finding things to improve my site!I guess its adequate to use a few of your ideas!!
