Fr. Bwalya Resigns as ZESCO Board Chairman, goes Into Prayer & Fasting for 40 Days
Fr Bwalya
And energy Permanent Secretary says the sudden resignation of Fr Bwalya is regretable.
Fr Bwalya resigned yesterday, citing personal personal reasons.
In his letter to energy minister Yamfwa Mukanga and copied to Zulu and ZESCO MD Cyprian Chitundu, Fr Bwalya stated that his resignation had to do with something within his heart.
“Kindly be informed that i have resigned as board chairperson of ZESCO Limited with immediate effect. The reason for my resignation is very personal. It has to do with something within my heart. I wish to thank you and your government for according me the honour and opportunity to serve our people in such a vital sector of our economy,” he stated.
Lastly, Fr Bwalya stated he will spend the next 40 days in prayer.
And Chitundu expressed surprise upon learning that Fr Bwalya had resigned.

Iwe father Bwalya you’re letting us down with your reason for resignation. I thought you’d resign more because of what’s in other peoples hearts ( board members or ZESCO staff) that you find irregular and at odds with corporate governance principles. But if the rot has already entered your heart too, then you’re fooling us!

He is a true Zambian. He is
Fighting for the poor but it
Seem majority are their for more
Money in their pockets. Why should
they class tarrifs? The pipo who sit
In these boards are inhuman to say
the least.

God has showed him the right way.God has touched his soul. if my employer is a thief and not God fearing then as a God fearing person i need to resign coz it means the job is not God given.Fr Bwalya’s resignation has something to do with the president.
God is good all the time. hands up fr

Can I get the chairmanship and maybe I can be offered 25% of ZESCO like some of our friends after the government pumps in hundreds of millions of dollars for rehabilitation of power stations? Just thinking.

Finally he has come to his sences. PF should be ready for his comments after fasting. After all he was in thesystem and knows a lot. Sata should be ready to pay for appointing the father and giving him government insights!

Please go back to the Altar if you can. I advise you quit politics and serve the true God. Hypocrisy will not help in any way. If you regret being a father, come out in the open, marry and soldier on with your life.

Leave the man alone he’s got conscious. he knows this is not what he campaigned for, he is not like others who have decided to pretend that things are okay even when they’ve gone worse than when RB was in office.

I salute Fr Bwalya.
Guys lets b honest.
Didnt Mwanawasa resign in Chiluba Regime.
“Conscience is greater than all of us”.
Corruption is everywhere but some people do it too much tht it starts paining inside if u r a genuine Leader.

that’s true my man. a true and truestworthy man can get along with thieve. in 2011 Bwalya just wanted the corrupt mmd to be out of power and by then, the all nation was bulldozed by PF.So the only alternative change was to vote for the most popular opposition party by them PF. Now PF took advantage of bwalya efforts to make sure that MMD goes b’coze of some corrupt practices. And because of the efforts, he was rewarded with that position as ZESCO bordchairperson. He accepted.
Now, along the way, he has noticed perhaps alote of some misschief or anomalies in the current PF government and that’s y he has quieted.

We should put some one near him at all times to make sure he really does not eat for 40 days then we will how strong he is. he should not even eat a sweet until after 40 Days. That will teach him not to imitate the son of God.

These shameless thieves Clive Chirwa and Father chicken killer Bwalya after robbing the coffers they want to resign.
Ba mudala arrest them and let them face the law like chi RB.

Kwena kwabe mpofu muchalo! No mwanashi! @Janet, take back your words. HAve some respect! Just because you can afford to sleep with so many men you can just wake up and start insulting a man of God. Even David didn’t do that to Saul, though Saul was corrupt.

This Fr. Bwalya is just like any normal human being, i see no reason why certain citizens should castigate him . He may have a reason as to why he has gone this far, to start with, he was previledged to wellness(wealth) allowances,to mention afew.He been preaching about a decent meal for all loving zambians, so he may have not been comforted with heft or sort of sitting allowances.

If I was Sata I would start preparing myself because uyu Bwalya ngapwisha fasting tafyakawame fintu.I sense a fight for the poor after this fasting.Secondly why can’t chitundu also follow suit and resign because uyu koswe nafilwa uku running zesco.If chitundu can’t resign am sure there is someone who can fire this idiott and bring sanity to zesco

We have been complaining that people that fail to perform or that disagree with ways of doing things DO NOT RESIGN but continue “eating”. Father Bwalya resigns, citing his conscience not being free and you start insulting him. What do you want in life imwe bakapoli? Wait after 40 days – he will say why. Peace with you all.

A true christian cant be a politician. Birds of same feathers fly together. People let us not be cheated by these thieves. Fr Bwalya has stolen enough. The PF government promised to end casualisation but untill now poeple are working as casuals in the same compony were this person you are calling the father was. He was just busy fattening his pockets while other people are suffering out their. Let us not take God for granted. If father Bwalya has changed, let him speak about the corruption in zesco and the plans they have as a board charmain for casualisation.
