PF’s Chishimba Kambwili asked to prove corruption allegations against RB

Share

The National Initiative for Citizens Awareness (NICA) president, Kelvin Sampa, has challenged PF Roan Member of Parliament Chishimba Kambwili to substantiate claims that President Rupiah Banda and his government were corrupt over the awarding of Luanshya Copper Mine (LCM) to a Chinese firm, Non Ferous Metal Mining Company Limited (NFCA).

Mr Sampa said when the people of Luanshya voted for Mr Kambwili they expected him to work hard and to speak facts on the ground.

He said the MP has been cheating the people of Luanshya because of fears that his political career will be exterminated by the progressive development and intervention by the government over LCM.

Mr Sampa charged that the minister does not realize that most Zambians are enlightened with what is going on globally and most of them are very much aware of the capacity of the Chinese.

He said China right now is the most feared emerging power and it has the capacity to help Africa and even America.

Mr Sampa has advised Hon Kambwili to tell the nation if he had provided tangible solutions for the people of Luanshya when the mine went under care and maintenance.

He added that the MP must be ashamed of himself for trying to deny the people of Luanshya development and better living conditions when he is able to earn a living through parliament.

Mr Sampa advised the civil society to provide checks and balances between the government and the opposition leaders and not to criticize every matter.

  1. These allegations should not become a big issue if they are false. So why not just ignore them Mr. Sampa?
    Unless chabe…

  2. Talking of emerging power and international game changing actors is an issue beyond kambwili’s head. Simply ask him what he has done for the common good and what action plan he has had over the suffering of Luanshya miners? I just listened to his saturday kitwe rally speech a friend forwarded to me. You would tell that Kambwili is a retard Luanshya must discard. His Greated achievement is having exporting a wife to the UK a nurse.His speech is nothing but a monologue of incoherencies and insults with no leadership or policy idiom.How did Sata nominate this chap to run on the party ticket?

  3. Now about the Topic.To prove Corruption was involved.Is very simple…It is a Chinese Firm, Why not a Zambian Firm.For instance Banda and Sons Ferrous and Dealers taking over or Machipisha Enterprises or Tiyeseko mineral Exploration or this one Amayi Phiri Boreholes and Sinking Limited.

  4. #5 Senior citizen, where have you been? You are right that this “hoe” is a retard. Just like RB pointed out that some businesses thrive when mines close because that is the time for them to reap scrap metal from idle shafts. I think this man wants the mines to remain idle so that he can pull a fast one on scrap metal. Luanshya people have to wake up so that they guard the mine assets to avoid them being plundered whenever the mines are closed.

  5. Those quarry miners from Zingalume and Kalingalinga have alot of experience in crushing stones, they can run Luanshya Mine without much ado why give it Chinese.The Minister of Mines should be fired with immediate effect…..ADVERTISE THE JOB

  6. Following “Mr Sampa said when the people of Luanshya voted for Mr Kambwili they expected him to work hard and to speak facts on the ground. He said the MP has been cheating the people of Luanshya because of fears that his political career will be exterminated by the progressive development and intervention by the government over LCM.” I am not surprised and this is why I mentioned that “he is like father like son” always producing stuff that has no useful outcome. Anyway, I wish him all the very best.

  7. As for Mr Sampa charged that the minister does not realize that most Zambians are enlightened with what is going on globally and most of them are very much aware of the capacity of the Chinese, when did Mr Chishimba Kambwili become a Minister and which ministry is he heading? LT, please check your news items and correct the wrong stuff.

    Have a blessed day you all.

  8. I personaly think the guy is correct its a shame that even people in foreign lands do not realize that in Zambia people are fond of critisizing without offering solutions. This is a culture and attitude thwt needs to change.

  9. We were not allowed an opportunity for our voices to be heard during Kaunda’s era, while we relaxed our councious progressive minds while Chiluba reigned; Mwanawasa brought us the fight on corruption, which we inturn shall apply on the Banda administration. So I ask my dear Zambians are we awake? For no one shall stop my constructive criticism, and C.I.A Adumbu with solutions I do that. Hello C.I.A, Jamaco, Nine Chale, Senior citizen and Hhehhehhe, happiness is seing you guys here, for there was a topic on a chunga criminal that left me doubting some of the occasional bloggers.

  10. Actually, if there is a hint of corruption it should be brought out in the air. If the allegations are true then it would strengthen even further the hands of those who are trying to impeach RB. Just spouting nonsense does not help anyone – least of all the ordinary Zambian.

  11. Another job seeker, just get a life instead of trying to speak on behalf of RB…Are you trying to dethrone General Shikapwasha?

  12. For those who may not know the BGRIMM saga, innocent Zambians died and who were the causers? THE MIGHTY CHINESE. you like it or not in China corruption is a norm and tricking one another is seen as a very good indicator that people are thinking. if you are a better trickster, people fear you in china and you can just see how the people in Chambeshi have become yet these are under the china men. who are the most culprit foreign copper thieves? Remember that chinese woman? it should give you an idea what type of people you are dealing with. Do you know that China Hienan is just a Manucipal entity in Southern China?
    yet they are being given jobs to do roads of which if local councils were empowered, they could do the same. i have seen local councils doing roads before right on the copper…

  13. Well Mr Sampa, you can simply take Kambwili to ACC and report him so he can be summoned as the ACC is the govt wing empowered to look into such issues. You may also include Hichilema on the $53 nchekelako saga that has been heaped on RB your mbuya

  14. Kelvin Sampa, Reuben Lifuka has outsmarted you in thinking and approach of national issues. The years you spent at Munali boys are in vain unless you redeem yourself young man. why sink so low that you can extend your tongue for pipi?

  15. What more proof do you need— Dora, Mobile Hospitals, sons involved with GMO maize etc. Dont talk after the man has left office. Thats what you did to FTJ. He was defended to the hilt, but ‘soon as new President LPM called him something you also changed your tune. Infact you are not the right people to ask for proof. Thats police work.

  16. Chiluba case highlights the need to have hard evidence. If there is any hint of corruption, bring out the facts. Not just speculation and innuendo which Zambians seem to be good at. A good example are the insinuations of an inappropriate relationship between RB and Namugala.

  17. Why do people always label anyone within the MMD who supports the President as a jobseeker? Surely, it would be more newsworthy if a member of the MMD did NOT support the president. Isn’t that what party loyalty and discipline is all about? If somebody has hard evidence of presidential corruption, surely it their moral duty and in the public interest to let ordinary Zambians know what is going on? Making unsubstanciated accusations will lead to ‘the boy who cried wolf ‘syndrome.

  18. Thats the calibre of MPs we have; kaponyas! Next thing is that the people of Luanshya will zanda, ka. Mulelanda ifya mano ma MP. This whole thing is just a circus and worse still, its free of charge!

  19. Kambwili at it again! His political philosophy is self-productive and counter-productive at the same time.As a lawmaker,he should be the first one to know that he has to present evidence to ACC and later follow up the case.As long as he is embroiled in this philosophy of standing on an anti-hill and trade unfounded allegations,people of Luanshya will find him irrelevant and if he doest present evidence,he risks being sued for defamation or is it libel.Such are lawmakers we have.Misguided!

  20. # 26 should read “His political philosophy is self-destructive and counter-productive ”
    Hello Everybody ! ba Moze ati bwa?

  21. Deja Vu, Kambwili has been summoned by the Police to appear for questioning over his remarks. HH has not and both Mpombo and Shikas have said he will not be arrested. They know whats good for them. And obviously, you cant compare HH and kambwili…please!

    Sharp Shooter@ #28, bwino boyi, ati how?

  22. Rocket Scientist Maestro Hhehhehhehhe - ndeezwa ku-musanza for Zambians in the 2011 tripartite National elections Rocket Scientist Maestro Hhehhehhehhe - ndeezwa ku-musanza for Zambians in the 2011 tripartite National elections

    14, Mwanawakwitu, thanks and sorry that I might have missed out on the Chuunga issue. I have been quite busy but I try my best to comment when I can. Have a blessed day.

  23. #32 BA MOZE. Get me right I did not compare the 2. The only relation is that both have made allegations, but chose to demean one.

  24. Minister in charge of Allegations Assessment, Ronnie Shikapwasha, has asked PFs Chishimba Kambwili to prove it! In a related development, The Minister has also asked UPND President Hakainde Hichilema to also prove it!

  25. iwe ci NICA, why are you troubling an innocent man for telling the truth? even in the villages where they voted for RB they know the corrupt practices of earlier mentioned character (RB).

  26. All this is because of corruption by RB now being engineered by Chiluba. Shame on Sampa………..Bootlicker and job seeker. If you and Siulapwa were from the eastern province you would be employed already by RB. I pity you Sampa with friend Siulapwa. You will shout the loudest but never get a job from RB. Any way continue bookliking………………..I wish you all the worst or is it best?

  27. I think Kamwili should have not applied for a contract with the Chinese company, after all he said about them. He must be ashamed of himself. He should in fact thank the government the good work, because he is instead a big beneficiary from the same investments he never supported in Luanshya. If it was RB’s son given a contract, Kambwili would have said there is coruption. Don’t just oppose anyhow, you are confusing the innoncent people and hindering development zambia.
