FODEP Inspired By GBM’s Resignation
The Foundation for Democratic Process (FODEP) has observed that the resignation of Defence Minister, Geoffrey Mwamba, speaks volumes that the Bemba speaking people are willing to fight for what is right for them regarding the installation of Henry Sosala as Paramount Chief Chitimukulu.
FODEP Executive Director, MacDonald Chipenzi, says there is need for President Michael Sata to allow the Bemba speaking people to choose their traditional leader and not impose sanctions on them.
Mr. Chipenzi says Mr. Mwamba did well to protect his kinsmen by not succumbing to threats from the head of State by siding with his people.
Mr. Chipenzi has told QFM News that the Bemba speaking people are united and want to protect their culture and not what is being imposed on them by the PF Government.
He says the move by government to dethron Henry Kanyanta Sosala earlier this year as Senior Chief Mwamba and the subsequent refusal to recognize him as Chitimukulu has become a national matter and not a tribal issue.
Mr Chipenzi has since urged the Patriotic Front (PF) government to allow the Bemba Royal Establishment (BRE) do the correct thing by installing their preferred Paramount Chief without interference.

I totally agree with you Mr. Chipenzi. Bembas must be left alone to install their prefered chief.This is not for gvt to decide.

Tradition is very deep and we need to be careful when handling important traditional matters like Chieftaincy, marriage, naming ceremonies, burial etc.Govt should be cautious. The issue can bring devastating effects if not properly handled.

@Real Zambian, GBM joining HH would be a positive development for Zambian politics as we seriously need objective politics in Zambia that transcend tribal and provincial barriers. You see, the British caused part of this tribal problem in Zambia by demarcating provinces according to tribal boundaries. So, I’d say BIG UP. To the two tycoons if they joined hands!

The two tycoons can’t mix,therefore they can’t run the party well together.

Government shouldn’t get involved. What is their interest? Its cause for concern for all Bemba people. Lubinda and GBM are out. I can only wonder who will be next.
