MMD National Treasurer Defects To PF For ‘Greener Pasture’

Opposition Movement for Multi-party Democracy (MMD) National Treasurer Goodward Mulubwa has with immediate effect resigned for his party and joined the ruling Patriotic Front.

Mr. Mulubwa, who is also proprietor of Chat Milling and losing MMD aspiring candidate for Roan Constituency in Luanshya, was until his defection, MMD national treasurer.

Speaking at a media briefing this morning, Mr. Mulubwa says he has decided to move out of the MMD because he has realized that people are fade up of the party.

Mr. Mulubwa says he has no doubt that Republican President Michael Sata will deliver to the expectations of the people as he has known him as a man of action.

And welcoming Mr. Mulubwa, Patriotic front Kasama Central Member of Parliament Godfrey Mwamba says Mr. Mulubwa has decided to move from the MMD because he did not want to sink with the titanic MMD.

Mr. Mwamba, who is also newly appointed Defense Minister, has pledged to ensure that peace continues to prevail in the country.

    Goodward Mulubwa from the little I know about him is that he is a self-made successful billionaire.To insinuate that he has defected for greener pasture is both incorrect and misleading.

    He is welcome to the party of the moment.Well done my brother.

      goodward must be investigated and must pay back what he owes the FRA. we don’t want people joining the ruling party to protect their “thieving and corrupt” interests. chishimba kambwili made very serious allegations against this man and thus must not be given a red carpet in PF. This our govt and will not sit by while corrupt elements are being received in the PF. As national treasurer he has a lot to explain such as the funds MMD used in it’s campagns coz fro the info we know it was bankcrupt prior to the elections,etc.

    It is a matter of time; majority of Zambians will feel MMD’s loss in in the just ended 2011 election.
    For now they are still busy with celebrations of SATA’s victory.

  3. PETER DAKA BAMUNYANKULA   October 1, 2011 at 1:50 pm

    He realised too late. Anyway, he can join us. We still need more support from everywhere to sail through in 2016, 2021 and 2026 before we hand over power to a Party not yet formed

    • Wa-Lulumba   October 1, 2011 at 6:53 pm

      Spot on brother

    But he should pay all ZESCO bills for his Company in kitwe. He wants protection by the govt.

    • Alen   October 1, 2011 at 10:04 pm

      I agree. these business people that s how they behave. for the sake of protecting his business. i hope his books are clean with ZRA. Muselela kwakaba.

        LOL true Muselela kwakaba

      • chazya   October 2, 2011 at 11:20 am

        By the way i thought that the PF had closed the defections up until 2016?
        Can some advise the Winter Kabimba & group that we don’t need chancers/oppurtunists as at now till 2016!let them contiune with there rotten curropt tendences in their rotten MMD & UPND,thou polictics is about #’s,i still strongly feel it’s not the best time.too early!

        • Ubuntungwa Mu Jambo Jambo   October 2, 2011 at 3:29 pm

          Yes Chazya, Winter shud now announce unequivocally that THE BOAT IS FULL. Some pipo think they will avoid paying rentals, Zesco bills, import taxes etc by belonging to ruling party. That is not the PF way, I hope.

    • Muleke kalijo Bafikala   October 3, 2011 at 2:43 pm

      mmmm some of you are just envious of the man, every company has its own debt even Zambia has owed money for a long time, but that doesn’t mean that there is no intention to pay, even the US Gvt owes china, so what are you saying? Separate business from politics.
      Most of you pipo are are worst crooks!

  5. POWER TO THE PEOPLE   October 1, 2011 at 2:24 pm

    Am very disappointed with such charecters.How do you defect to a party you were against a few days ago.Goodward, we are going to investigate you first then allow you in the party.We don’t want to be like MMD which was busy protecting thives.So be prepared that the long arm of the law will be visiting you soon.You know what you did in Luanshya during the campaigns and election day.

  6. Civil Slave   October 1, 2011 at 2:32 pm

    ‘One rotten groundnut made th mouth spill out everything.’ it may b gud 2 accept everone who comes but beware!

    A little leaven leavens the whole bread.

    some of these will come with the nails reqiured for closing th mmd coffin. Beware soul brothers.

  7. uwalubana   October 1, 2011 at 2:33 pm

    well if those guys are defecting on merit then thats okey but my apeal to sata is that he should not give them any jobs let them just be caders coz alot of these zambian politicians dont think about the zedians who are livin in poverty but their stomachs and personal interests,

    • Alen   October 1, 2011 at 10:27 pm

      Nensoni takwete. I wonder how some people are made. no morals sure.

      • shimuchita panono (do small)   October 2, 2011 at 11:20 am

        Tafolesha bwino nababomfi if given a job he is capable of taking us back to mmd days were they thought paying peanuts was understood and torelated

  8. Annie   October 1, 2011 at 3:24 pm

    Let him pay his outstanding debts to all its suppliers. Also he should be investigated. Mooreover he is just an opportinits who want favours from the govt. Not long time ago he was insulting Sata. I urge the new PF govt to “reject”some MMD defectors. They want something from PF

  9. lelolelo   October 1, 2011 at 3:34 pm

    These are common scenes in present day Zambian politics. Let us concentrate on major developmental issues.

  10. Lawyer   October 1, 2011 at 3:37 pm

    Mulubwa must be investigated and arrested if possible. These are POLITICAL PROSTITUTES. He thinks PF will protect him. SHAME ON YOU!!

  11. Donchi 2   October 1, 2011 at 3:55 pm

    Nice move even though behind his back he knows he has to protect his business of supplying mealie meal to the service wings. With protecting this r/ship, the milling company in gone. Otherwise u are welcome.

  12. Nubian Princess   October 1, 2011 at 4:16 pm

    Goodward Mulubwa …..I have my eyes on you!

  13. Paddie Joe   October 1, 2011 at 4:48 pm

    The defection of the MMD National Treasurer is not from his heart. The man is a businessman. He knows that being in opposition, he will always be visited by ZRA guys. It is what you always do you politicians to finish your friends. Do you remember Patrick Bulasho Musonda, former MP for Kabwe Central? The man was an MP for Heritage Party. Within a short period, he was forced to crossover to MMD by the visits of ZRA staff. Whats that? We will always end up with weak opposition. The same characters who crossover, since the heart is not with, in this case, PF, they will soon hijack everything forgetting the founders and later destroy it like MMD. Be careful.

  14. Pio   October 1, 2011 at 5:14 pm

    ok so you knew SATA can deliver but got bussy deserving People,innocent(ignorant) for that matter?
    This is also corruption of the mind,just like showing abscene materials to children!
    You must be punnished for that, then we will accept you in PF,or otherwise APPOLOGISE!

  15. kamenga D   October 1, 2011 at 5:15 pm

    Mr mulubwa u re welcome but u begin from ordinary cadre as we re scrtnising u. Meanwhile be honest with yo business because this country is going to be gorverned by ten comandments declared by the president Mr sata

  16. CHINVINDINVINDI   October 1, 2011 at 5:55 pm

    MULUBWA! KAMBWILI WILL NOT ACCEPT HIM COS HE KNOWS AND SAID IT LIVE ON CHENGELO RADIO THAT HULUBWA IS A CROOK WHO OWES ZRA 14 BILLION AND FRA K4 BILLION. AND HE IS A SATANIST AS SAID BY TB JOSHUA!
    GBM MUST NOT ACCEPT SUCH FROTH WITHOUT ASSESSMENT. NI MEALIE MEAL CONTRACT FOR DEFENCE FORCES?

  17. Enock Samakupa   October 1, 2011 at 5:56 pm

    Umm we’ve got politians pa Zed. Infact the man has got all the monies one can ever desire. He is not going there for money or politics but for security over his business. It was only two weeks before elections he took workers from his company, went with them to his residence to copy the NRC #s and voters cards. For what? To rig. But they faild to rig. Supose they rigged and won the elections, was he going to praise Sata like he is doing now?

  18. fotombwe   October 1, 2011 at 6:05 pm

    This one is a cruk who should not have been welcomed in the boat he has come with nails to sink our boat let him go back to mmd

  19. HSE NUMBER   October 1, 2011 at 6:10 pm

    DEFECTORS SHOULD KNOW THAT IN PF YOU SACRIFICE FOR ZAMBIA.
    PF HAS PRESSED THE “RESET” BUTTON AND THING LIKE POLITICS OF APPEASEMENT ARE CANCELLED.IF YOU BRIBE US,WE WILL “Dont kubeba” YOU.

  20. Fimoneni   October 1, 2011 at 6:19 pm

    He is just the trush we dont need. Soon Soft asshole Dora will follow. Then William Banda etc

  21. RK   October 1, 2011 at 7:02 pm

    Why do people want to reap where they have not sown? Old PF members who have patiently laboured for their party should be wary of hijackers. Too many of suc will tarnish the image of PF because it will become a De Facto MMD just like MMD became De Facto UNIP

  22. A.L   October 1, 2011 at 7:09 pm

    As much as is welcomed,but i think is doing it to protect his business.

  23. kc   October 1, 2011 at 7:30 pm

  24. kamenga D   October 1, 2011 at 8:09 pm

    defectors give us time to finish celebrating our victory. Remember that its not yet 90 days for u to start entering the boat its still locked just wait out side the boat until u re scrutinised defectors.BUSHE FINSHI MULETINA MULI SANA FAST UKU DEFECTOR, BUSHE MWAILEIBA? Ba sata is not going to spare u even in the boat still is going to punish u.

  25. Sniffer   October 1, 2011 at 8:11 pm

    Pipo, lets not allow such pipo to fool us. This man is looking 4 protection in pf. He knows the offences that he has committed in the mmd and he thinks that by defecting to the ruling part he can not be investgated. Lets show him that we are not as corrupt as those he worked with without critising him about the wrong things he was doing. The president said we should remove some cobwebs and this makes me to start wondering way we are now receiving some with both hands.

  26. Alufeyo   October 1, 2011 at 9:02 pm

    Mulubwa G you are just a snake in green grass trying to take a ride on a horse you do not own, please dont think H.E. Mr. Sata is like RB, he is clever and wise than what you think. we dont want oppotunists in PF please try UPND.

  27. Alufeyo   October 1, 2011 at 9:10 pm

    H.E Mr. M C Sata please i beg you in the name of God, avoid these District Commissioners who are trooping to Lusaka in search of jobs and abusing government vehicles when in actual fact they were for RB. let them be thoroughly scrutinised before we also waste a lot of government resources on them. your excelency sir can some quickly look into the landrovers being used by the DCs before its too late twapapata. a lot of them a trying to hide these vehicles for personal gain knowing that they will be fired.

  28. Ex-zamtel girl   October 1, 2011 at 9:22 pm

    Thanx no 13.ba mwana malayambi tucenjele nabo.let em join but should not take over twaliculile nobwato.some of us were fired bcoz of it.most of them r not even apologising. I hate mmd 4wat it dd.

  29. Katiya Toonse   October 1, 2011 at 9:56 pm

    BUT THE PF GOVERNMENT IS CURRENTLY INVESTIGATING THE MMD OVER POSSIBLE AB– USE OF STATE RESOURCES (including financial)! SO HOW DO YOU NOW ACCEPT THEIR TREASURER! HOW CLEAN IS HE? DID HE HAVE ANY HAND IN THE MMD’s DIRTY ACTIVITIES?

    PF, BE CAREFUL WITH THIS FORMER TREASURER OF THE MMD.

    LET HIM BE ACCEPTED ONLY AFTER BEING FOUND CLEAN.

    SURELY, LOOK AT HOW THEY SPENT AND — USED GRZ PROPERTY DURING THE CAMPAIGNS! ARE YOU NOW CONVINCED BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT THAT THEIR TREASURER WAS NOT EVEN AWARE OF ANY AB– USE, AT ALL?

    YOU BUSINESSMEN, PLEASE DO NOT AGAIN MISLEAD OUR BELOVED PRESIDENT. NO NO NO TWAKAKA…

  32. Mukatendwa -USA   October 2, 2011 at 5:08 am

    I do not know this Mulubwa chap but I just wanted to say that every Zambian has a fundamental right to choose his or her own associations.

  33. Lundazi dweller   October 2, 2011 at 8:05 am

    How Ironic that GBM is the one who welcomed him. Mulubwa has defected for business purposes. You will see how his Chat Milling and GBM’s GBM milling will profit from supplying meali meal to the defence force. Those of you who think otherwise have alot to learn about the reality of politics and business in Zambia. What I wait to see is how President Sata shal correct this type of corruption.

  34. gc   October 2, 2011 at 8:12 am

    Mr SATA,plz sort out the DC because there are busy hiding GRZ vehicles.It pains me as a taxpayer.

  35. jc   October 2, 2011 at 8:44 am

    ninshi we all go where the air blows ,so are u telling me that mulubwa did not see that the mmd was about to sink,he is jst in need of a job and bcareful with these pipo you’re in this bealtiful ruling part of ours they might bring some element of corruption in pf

  36. Openyoureyes   October 2, 2011 at 11:29 am

    Be careful PF! I repeat be careful H.E M.C.Sata.Alot pipo will leave MMD for PF to protect or cover their crimes committed even businesses. Yes everyone has the right to belong to any political party.Hrs ago they were MMD,before the celebrations are over, they are PF. Kaya kaya! something rotten is coming in PF,eventually PF will be contaminated. Bamuselela wakaba iwe!

    Mulubwa is not welcome in PF maybe we should remind him of the insults he was saying in launshya , nowonder he lost , if its the Pf which is full of ignorant , ba kaponya then he is the chief kaponya himself , i say you are not welcome

  39. Jahman   October 2, 2011 at 4:58 pm

    POLITICS IN ZAMBIA IS VERY FUNNY!HOW CAN PF ALLOW MULUBWA TO JOIN THE NEW RULING PARTY!HE WAS A BIG SHOT IN MMD!HE IS JUST PROTECTING HIMSELF AND HIS INTERESTS.WE DONT WANT POLITICS OF THE STOMACH WHERE THE DESERVING PIPO GET A RAW DEAL!MULUBWA IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF POLITICS OF THE STOMACH.

    JAHMAN FROM BOTS
