GBM a Rare Breed In Zambian Politics- Mtayachalo
MMD Copperbelt province information and Publicity Secretary Yotam Mtayachalo has described former Defence Minister Geoffrey Mwamba as a rare breed in Zambian political arena.
MMD Copperbelt Information and Publicity Secretary Yotam Mtayachalo says the decision taken by Mr. Mwamba to take such a bold decision to resign after differing with the President on principle is a rare one in Zambian politics.
Mr. Mtayachalo notes that most politicians in the country lack such principles as exhibited by Mr Mwamba, as their interest is to protect their bellies.
He also notes Mr Mwamba’s immerse contribution to the Patriotic Front, adding that his resignation is the beginning of cracks in the ruling party.
And Mr Mtayachalo says Zambians are falling to understand what the President is trying to achieve by battling with the Bemba traditional leadership.
He says there is need to allow traditional leaders to operate independently without political interference.
And the National Restoration party (NAREP) has commended former Defence Minister Geoffrey Mwamba for what it has described as a principled decision over the deadlock surrounding the Chitimululu Chieftaincy.
NAREP National Chairman Joseph Mushalika notes that while the manner of the resignation is regrettable, the move is based on principle after President Sata gave Mr. Mwamba the option to choose between keeping his job or the Chitimukulu designate.

The suffering of Zambian people didn’t move him, the corruption charges against him and PF cronies didn’t move him, the crushing cost of livuing… Nothing. But being to not to talk to his relatives moved him.
Careful before you turn a monster into a matyr!

The only problem that my President has is his over inflated ego. His word is divine and he finds it difficult to come down but what took him up where he is now will bring him down where he belongs unless he chooses to change his governance style. Lets wait and see.Merry Christmas.

What principles? He says it is because Chiti is his RELATIVE. Not because Chiti is RIGHT, mind you. His resignation is out of NEPOTISM.
