Change Life Zambia Executive Director Father Frank Bwalya has commended former works and supply Minister Mike Mulongoti for his bold stance on democracy.
Father Bwalya says Mr Mulongoti should be commended for the stance he has taken to preach democracy in the ruling MMD even before he was fired.
He says if the former works and supply minister had wanted, he would have chosen to defend the undemocratic tendencies of the ruling MMD.
Father Bwalya says Mr Mulongoti’s decision to sacrifice his well-paying job and presidential favours are some of the attributes Zambian politicians should emulate.
He added that Mr. Mulongoti’s conduct that subsequently led to his suspension from the party pending expulsion shows that he is a man who believes in democracy.
Father Bwalya further says that he has always known the MMD party to be undemocratic from the way it conducts its activities.
Father Bwalya hoped the undemocratic treatment Mr. Mulongoti has suffered at the hands of the MMD will help him in his political future.
[ QFM ]
Iwe Mr Bwalya, what democracy can Mulongoti preach? Is it the same Mulongoti we all put up with the last decade?
That was a case of a chihuahua trying to blackmail its master, after overstayin in the house. The master did the inevitable…
Sense man of God, I also know MMD not to be a democratic party particulary under Vasco da banda the explorer.
Bushe mu PF emwaba demokrasi? Atase. Amafathers mule landa bwino! Nangu mwi bwinaKatolika namo, there is no democracy. Insult the Pope naiwe today, baleku shonona. Ask baMilingo.
ala kwena this priest is very dull. I have never come accross a priest as dull as Fr Bwalya. Some of my former classmates are priests and can not compare with this PF cadre. There is no stance that Mulongoti took apart from defending his plate of ishima.
God help Zambia by send us leaders!
mmd is full of hero worshippers even mulongoti was a puppet to the late president. look at pipo like mabenga…with no sense of shame the man worships his pay master. donchi kubeba
There is actually no democratic party in Zed at the moment.
There has never been democracy in all our political parties. Despite that, SATAN would be worse than the HERB
I agree with #6 and #7 but I would add that, not anywhere in the world. To be chosen by the parties in the US, you must have a lot of dosh, promise to look after some big names, and so on and so forth. In UK, you must be in ‘good standing’ with the party to be adopted as a candidate, otherwise you can stand as an independent, in which case you will spend your own money for the election. The mother of all Republics France is reeking with corruption and so is the largest ‘democracy’ India! The democratic process is BETWEEN parties but never WITHIN.
this ka father is a lunatic..who would want to defend mike mulongoti after bringing this mess to Zambia..?you should have just gone for Kavindele ..as veep when LPM sent you..!
Bwalya eat ur vomit scumbag priest
Sure ba Father do you know what you are talking about? How much democracy is in your party PF?
I keep saying that PF is simply indefensible, everything bad that PF sees in others they have been there and are there. How many time shas Sata gone to a convention? Have you ever heard anyone challenge Sata even for pretence? Ba Father mule ichindikako.
this guy is a tribalist it was going to make sense if he was supprtin other political parties as well not only pf.i hhave never cn him on upnd,unip meetings but again he has never comended gvt on anything may b he cld b a false prophet
# 3 In church there is no democracy but justice. With God its either you are on his side or with satan. There is no middle ground.
Fr.Bwalya’s comment is skewed. Mulongoti defended MMD type of democracy while in govt. He knew that he had gone off line and his job was on the line for competing for the same position as George.
Whichever way he looked at it he found himself in a catch 22, so he decided to come out the way he did to win some sympathy from the general public.
Mulongoti is very condescending and desrves no sympathy
Ka Frank Bwalya ndiwe galu. Just backing all the time. You are the same chaps who were condemning Mulongoti when he was still in govt but now he has become a hero. Can you please shut the f**k up.
Mulongoti’s fate was predicted 2 months ago, Lesa ni Malyotola. Before may, Dora & Shilapwasha will loose jobs, bite my words.
You slamdog fatherless Bwalya who elected as director of your one man show gang?what do you know about democracy?You support your dictator SATANA ,what can you tell me just shutup please,enough is indeed enough!
Here the main issue is to get rid of rotten eggs, the likes of shikapwasha, chituwo, and other mwanawasa mps who do not have any vote influency. E.g mulongoti is not wanted in lamba land and he can’t win an election there, veep has influency in the north hence the reason is kept alive. Shikapwasha is next to leave. Veep will be kicked out after mmd wins.
# 4 Fred Chicken walipena! u made me fall o ff my chair ku nseko. Are u saying lambas like Mulongoti treasure inshima most?
Daddy Frank Bwalya, understand that Mr. Mulongoti was sacked not because of his democratic stance but because of his unrepentant attacks on his boss. You cannot utter such to the president and not expect a sacking. In fact, Mr. Mulongoti dared the president to fire him and he did so what’s the problem.
Stop trying to score political points and concentrate on trying to take care of your alleged child. Useless priest.
Mulongoti failed in his duties.
Let us discuss issues at hand. Mulongoti did well by refusing to parve way for Kunda and thats what Fr. Bwalya is talking about. He never mentioned PF did he? Mulepembela imitwe shamano shalanda elo mwalasabaila
ALL the Best KALUSHA BWALYA. The whole nation is behind you. We are praying for the best. Viva Lusha lusha lusha lusha
Ba kalu tulemipepelako muwine mukwai
I do agree with u Father Bwalya that Mulongoti is a defender of Demoncracy and I do remember very well that Mulongoti was fired by KA FTJ(Thief) as deputy Defence Minister because Mulongoti stood up to denounce FTJ on the 3rd Term he defended the principles on which MMD was formed,Mulongoti may have offended some Zambians during Mwanawasa’s death when he and Ben Tetamashiba bushed RB to be adopted as MMD candidate disregarding Mwansawa’s wish of having wanted Magande to be preisdent after him but Mulongoti should not be written off!he has certain attributes that we need in our political discourse..Mulongoti should not even fight to cling to MMD this is the time to belong to the other side of political despensation to deliver Ndola rural with George Mpombo..and am very happy to see that…
Suppressing competition in a supposedly democratic institution is nauseating. Regardless of the ‘indiscipline’ claims being levelled against Mulongoti, it is clear that the MMD has departed from the original ideals of the party. The essence of competition is for the candidates to present their arguments and win over the electorates, does it mean Mr George Kunda is incapable of doing that?
Having said that, Father Bwalya should express the same concerns in his political party the PF, which is not better by any standard!
We have plenty of Confidence in this country, but we are a little short of good men to place our Confidence in. i dont know why we take the petty thieves to prison and elect the great ones to public office.
there is no difference between the ruling political party and the opposition political parties.The only difference between them is that the party in government allows the poor citizens to be corrupt, too. I think all political leaders are imposter since they believe in solving life’s problems without asking its question and that is why they need to be changed regularly.
this bwalya ***** is becoming a serious pain. is he talking about the same mulongoti who was in th fore front of preaching dictatorship in mmd wth his brother in mischief tetamashimba. and now mulongoti should be branded a hero bcos he has been fired????? just lyk mpombo is being branded a hero for using meaningless and cumbersome words to confuse his illiterate masaiti following???? zambia is full of political retards lyk this bwalya *****, ur snake SATAn, mupombo et. al
Lupiya Banda is the exorcist from UNIP who has come to chase the demons and bream UNIP back to power with its undemocratic tendencies
