PASTOR NEVERS MUMBA HITS Back “I Am A God Fearing Man And I Have NOT Stolen Public FUNDS”
RECALLED Zambia’s high commissioner to Canada Nevers Mumba has responded to allegations of financial irregularities at the Zamnbian embassy in Canada.
Dr Mumba has said that he is innocent and said that he will only return home when he gets a Foreign Office clearance officially.
He denied any allegations of “financial irregularities,” in an exclusive phone interview with the Daily Mail yesterday.
“Our office books have been audited thoroughly and I can’t recall any irregularities,”
Pastor Mumba said, “I am happy this is an allegation and not a charge. I am open for investigations and the Auditor General can return to Canada and carry out another audit if there are any doubts…I am a God-fearing man and I fear tax-payers’ money. I have never stolen public funds.”
The fire and brim-stone pastor, who has been in diplomatic services for about two and a half years, has been placed on the spot for alleged “financial impropriety” by President Sata in a statement signed by his special assistant for press and public relations George Chellah.
“Information so far suggests serious financial impropriety at the Zambian mission in Toronto which is under the supervision of Dr Nevers Mumba,” President Sata’s statement said adding that the preacher-turned-diplomat was “resisting recall.”
The President wants Pastor Mumba to “corporate with authorities while in Zambia on a personal visit” he must be prepared to personally pay for rather than use tax payers’ money.
But Pastor Mumba said, “I can’t come home until after December 31 when my tour of duty expires. I have applied for local leave twice and twice it has been denied because I have been told to stay here until my tour of duty extension expires at the end of December. I am not coming.”

MWEBANTUMWE, THIS MAN HAS ALWAYS LOVED MONEY. Remember he dissolved his own party so that he can be vise presido, He abandoned the church to be in politics, so I don’t understand why he is claiming to to a God fearing person.

What does the right reverend mean by “until my tour of duty finishes’? When u r recalled u have to come back immediately. The boat owner has said OUT but u r still clinging to hull. Man of God, there is time for everything and u can praise God even from Kamuchanga or Mulobezi and not just Toronto.

There should always be notice in recalling any deplomat unless otherwise. Dr. Mumba reminded the inconsistent PF government that he was entitled to his three months notice and they granted him after reminding this highly inexperince gocvernment with chishimba chimbwili foreign affairs. Nevers is the answer the sub standaness we have witnessed- i

An Ambassador is below the level of a PS. How can such an Officer refuse when recalled?
Jobs do get terminated with immediate effect, so who is Nevers to resist, I wonder.
If u a recalled, u go, without resistance.
It matters not whether u a in Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Winnipeg, Calgary, Quebec City, Dawson City, Edmonton, Rigina, Halifax, Charlotteton, or Yellowknife… JUST GO BACK TO ZAMBIA NOW, period.

Doc. come back to your senses, who are you representing there? In case you did’nt know, there was general election in Zambia on the 20 th of September 2011 were your boss was kicked out of the game and all the peace loving Zambians celebrated like no mans business. So be royal to the Boma, ala Boma ni Boma.You claim to be a man of God, so swallow your pride man! Pride is sin.
waiting for you dear Pastor.

Please Nevers M come back.Your time has come and the bible tells me that there is time for everthing.That is you had time for serve Zambia in Canada and now your time to come back has come.Nevers M never fool yourself that men of God don’t sin.If david in the bible sinned against God then you are you not to fall into sin of stealing or something else.Do not think you an angel,just listen to people and the presidents call.If you are innocent you could have come back on the fisrt day the president summoned you.This shows that you have stolen.Nevers now is the time to face the law and God is on you.God want you to repent so that you return to the pulpit.Just look on how life has been since you entered politics.You could agree or disagree me you have struggled and lost fiends as compared the time you were in th pulpit.

That child has grown but he is lost and suffers from rejection. Man of God please help your son he is your blood. If you despute, these days DNA tests are available in the country.

He is a fraud. He is always traveling to other cities in Canada , lives in 5 star hotels , loves the luxury life in Canada. I date the Liaison Officer at the Zambian High Commission in Ottawa. Her name is Carolina Rodriguez; she tells me about the money spent to have parties in luxury hotels in Canada.

Everyone in Canada knows what he has been doing.Pastor Nevers Mumba has stolen the money and also check those people like Dr.Daka who is part of Nevers Mumba’s scam. Money given to him by barrick Gold which he has been using’ the Account is at T.D.Canada Trust bank.Pastor Mumba also brought a group from Zambia to Canada Sponsered by Barrick Gold; Which most officals from the Government here did not go..He travels alot using tax payers money.This man should be picked up at the airport.President Sata should be very careful bcos people like this can bring problems in our peaceful Country; And we should also watch the Zambian Association members headed by Dr.S Daka, Meble Chipasha,Ngowza(Diplomat to Canada in the 90′s) Sisleya also a former Diplomat in Botswana;Just a few to mention Abuse funds and zambians.These people are all scammers and con people in Canada; So the allegations on Mr Mumba are very true the facts r there now.Sources in Toronto and Dr.Mumba’s driver have been seen going to Barrick Gold.Sources in Canada say over $250 thousand was paid to mr.Mumba by barrick gold.Whatever he stole at the embassy and he is asking the auditor general to check the books at the embassy…Where did he get the money? follow the paper.His trip is for the MMD post.Watch this con-man.

Nevers Mumba is a money laundering machine.
He abuses tax payers money and fires anyone who gets in his way. He and Mr Nzoya (the deputy at the high commission here in Ottawa) have been stealing money to buy luxury cars for them selves in Ottawa;they travel around the globe for personal reasons then finance them through the mission.
They fired Mr Tembo because he was against this and sent him back to Zambia. they also have an office slut ( carolina rodriguez ) working for them and she abuses the Zambian mission’s money by offering her physical body to diplomats.
this is such a shame; abusing hard earned tax payers money
