GBM reject politics of appeasement

I would like to thank my tribal cousins for their stance following the unceremonious exit of Honourable Minister, Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba, as Defence Minister, one of the most ranked portfolios in President Michael Sata’s administration The Bemba’s have demonstrated a unity of purpose for Mr. Mwamba, as a result of his decision to endorse Paramount Chief Chitimukulu rather than blindly embrace collective responsibility, as we know in some instances the majority may not be right. The business mogul has demonstrated that it is important for one not to use their tummies when making critical decisions but their heads, a rare feat in many African leaders. Perhaps Mr. Mwamba did not need the job but the job needed him. He has shown others how it is done who are still job hunting/waiting for jobs even when they are being pushed away. Mwamba did not push himself on the leadership by refusing to give up his birth right, as a hybrid of the bemba royal family. It also defies logic that President Sata has opted to question the Bashi Lubemba’s decision on the choice of the new Chitimukulu, many succession wrangles in the country have arisen among royal family members unlike the Chitimukulu case which has been questioned by the government, while the Bemba dynasty has no qualms what so ever. Mr. Mwamba had long before his unceremonious exit being a reject within the corridors of power when he was stripped off the position of party chairperson for elections. Admittedly, he was a victim of circumstances within the rank and file of the party that he had laboured for and giving up on family would have been a deadly decision for a weaker political soul like him. Subsequently, the support that Mwamba is getting from his tribesmen is commendable because the cause he has undertaken is a noble one and not for the heart-fainted but one with a strong character and it had to take GBM to spearhead that agenda, who is already financially safe. This is entirely my opinion and not my employer nor my wife.
