Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba, popularly known as GBM claims that he made UPND known on the Copperbelt and in the northern provinces, but today they are repaying him with arrests.
Mwamba has been slapped with 24 charges by the investigative wings over offences which were allegedly committed during his time as Defence minister in the Michael Sata PF-led administration
He was arrested on Tuesday and released from police cells yesterday.
Speaking with Daily Revelation, Mwamba said the UPND have forgotten the time he spent with them and where he took the party.
“Balelaba eko UPND yafumine (They have forgotten where UPND is coming from) and how we worked. We even gave them the first ward councilor in 2015. I am the one who gave them that seat in Northern Province. Even them starting to enter the Copperbelt I am the one who got them there. I am the one who was entering the Copperbelt. Northern, Luapula te ine nalengele kuti baleingilamo. Now lelo balaba. (Northern, Luapula am I not the one who made them start entering those provinces? But today they have forgotten)?” GBM claimed. “They have forgotten that I am the one who made them known. They were not even using their money, I was using my own money. Lelo efyobalendipila (Is this how they are going to repay me)? This is what they are able to pay me? Ukunjikata (Arresting me)?”
He claimed he would not stop speaking for Zambians, saying he would start providing checks and balances “in a big way” and also “reorganise ourselves in PF so that we enhance the mobilisation.”
Mwamba said he knew why he was summoned to ACC for because people don’t go there to drink tea with them, insisting that he viewed the whole thing as persecution.
He said the UPND must focus on their promises “to give manna” to Zambians from heaven rather than devising ways on how they would arrest those who served in the PF administration.
Mwamba claimed that “sooner rather then later”, the cases against him will start falling off one by one.
