KASAMA Central Member of Parliament, Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba has been
arrested for allegedly assaulting his operations manager at Arizona
Marketing, Collins Mundai.
Mr Mwamba is expected to appear in court tomorrow to face an assault charge.
Mr Mwamba commonly known as GBM was initially expected to report
himself at Lusaka’s Matero Police Station but due to security concerns
following unruly behaviour by suspected anti-GBM camp, the matter was
promptly transferred to Lusaka Central Police Station.
Mr Mwamba appeared at Central Police station around 11:00 hours and
was led for interrogations which lasted for an hour after which he was
formally arrested and released on Police bond with two working
sureties in the sum of K5, 000.
Mr Mwamba arrived at the Police station in a Toyota Corolla unlike in
his usual luxurious Range Rover.
The former defence minister who was accompanied by his legal team
comprising Sakwiba Sikota, Makebi Zulu and Martha Mushipe, confirmed
to waiting journalists that he had been arrested and released on bond.
“I have nothing to say now only that I was formally arrested for
assault. My time to speak will come but for now I want to reflect on
what has happened,” Mr Mwamba said.
Earlier riot Police at Matero Station apprehended three suspects for
unruly behaviour as a mob of suspected PF youths awaited the arrival
of the former Defence Minister.
The youths manhandled anyone suspected to be a GBM supporter but
Police action managed to keep them at bay after teargas was used to
restore order.
The master of insults is a free man.Good !
And for that they used police in full riot gear? Clowns!!!
@saulosi you mean master of insults Sata?
Do unto to him what he does unto others!
GBM should know that the cartel of Winter Kabimba,M’membe and Nchito have got him where they wanted him to be thanks for his foolishness of violence.They will make sure he goes to prison for a period exceeding six months so that automatically he loses his Kasama seat.He has no way out as the assault was done in full view of other workers.
My recommendation to GBM is that he should negotiate peace with the worker he is accused of beating.Find a way out of this so that the matter can be sorted out of court.Short of this,he has no chance in HELL of escaping prison.
Wish abusive Asians shop owners can face then law like so. Its just shocking, that’s why we need a new constitution to have effective separation of power.
The more GBM is persecuted, the more popular you will make him; resignation is not a crime; to be honest i loathed GBM; but when he resigned under moral grounds, I give him total respect;
iS THAT at LUSAKA CENTRAL POLICE??? YES BA GBM no body is above the law u assaulted a poor boy now the LAW will bring you down, our Government is of laws even the president he appeared in COURT to show that nobody is above the law
GBM here you acted stup.d, like a punk, having been honorable minister, still your behavior is still kabovish. When will you grow up and understand your environment? Are you crazy like your president?
GBM is violent and its right to cage him. He is a wife batterer, he insults – he needs to grow up. Or is it the matter of ‘once a kaponya always a Kaponya’?
Drama in the country forgive my soul for i shall live with thee. Sort the free falling kwacha pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls not this GBM nonsense. If you think you are making him unknown you will be shocked to know he maybe more popular than you think.
