Minister of Sport and Youth Chishimba Kambwili has called on the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) to investigate him on allegations that he is giving Youth Development Funds (YDF) to his girlfriends and relatives.

Speaking in Mongu when he called on Western Province Minister in Mongu today, Mr. Kambwili said he was disturbed by media reports that he was abusing funds meant for youths.

He said the allegation were not true.

The Minister explained that applications for youth empowerment were done at provincial level for the sake of transparency and accountability.

Mr. Kambwili said his office has constituted provincial technical committees to work on applications for youth not based on political patrons but on the viability of the applications.

He added that media reports about him have brought shame on his family who heard it on radio hence the need for the ACC Director to take it up and clear the matter.

And Mr. Kambwili held a private meeting with the Barotse Royal Establishment (BRE) to brief them on his mission in the area.

After the meeting, Mr. Kambwili told reporters that the BRE has welcomed the establishment of new districts and the planned construction of a university and stadium in the province.

He said the BRE was happy with President Michael Sata’s development ideas but wanted the projects to be done quickly.

He described the relationship between government and the BRE as cordial adding that the meeting was also fruitful.

The Minister is in Western province to handover cheques to successful applicants of the Youth Development Fund and to look for land where to build an ultramodern stadium.

The construction of the stadium is expected to commence soon after plans have been done.

  1. Its proving difficult to trust these leaders.Why should someone already with money do this to the need.Lord is watching from a distance.

  2. #1, it’s called GREED. That’s the problem with our leaders…very f*cking greedy and continue to eat even when clearly their vima stomachs are full. Look at Kambwili, you can’t even see his neck now. Ati goody milile?
    African politics, particularly Zambian politics, is all about making money in the quickest way possible. Being a politician is a selfish business. Why do you think we keep hearing about defections from this party to that party? The answer is, if you stay in government, you’ll always eat from somewhere some how. They are all doing it, Sata included. Don’t be fooled!
    You come last as a person who voted for your MP if you’re even thought about.

    That’s why I LMFAO when Sata declared war on corruption. That has to be the biggest joke of the year 2012.

    • Kambwili’s girth cannot be attributed to his ministerial portfolio. The man was like that even before he was in government. Mwimubepesha!

  3. That pathetic Kabwata chairman must be disciplined . Kabimba wil never succeed by pushing other ministers. MMD and PF same dirt parties. 2016 kuya bebele nga tamwacinje.

  4. Honarable Kambwili, Where is the AFCON cash for the players?? You and Kalusha know something. Mwayamba kuba. What is the difference between FAZ, MMD and PF

  5. I think Kabimba has started war with a very very dangerous person. Kambwili has that Coperbelt Kaponya/Jerabo mentality which even Sata cannot control. Kambwili should and MUST take legal action against Kabimba and Silubanje for defamation after the ACC investigation BUT I that with Kambwili, the battle will NOT end there AND Summer Kabimba should know that even Sata cannot protect him from the Rhino – it is a personal war!!!!

  6. Do not go where the path may lead;go instead where there’s no path and leave a trail.Thats how bold Kambwili appears in example and in principle.

  7. BUILD A STATE-OF-THE-ART AND BEAUTIFUL STADIUM THERE AND NOT AKANTEMBA OR MAKE-SHIFT IN ENGLISH. FOR THE UNIVERSITY- GIVE THE CONTRACT TO PROPER ARCHITECT DESIGNERS. DON’T BUILD A UNIVERSITY NA KAMUTENGE AKA CORRUGATED AMALATA. BUILD A PROPER UNIVERSITY TO EVEN ATTRACT STUDENTS FROM BOTSWANA AND SOUTH AFRICA- EVEN UK AND USA. IN FACT FIRST YOU SHOULD BE PUBLISHING THE DESIGNS FOR DEBATE.

    • I would support the idea but I wonder who would want to go and play ball that far? That place is far far far! I would support upgrading schools in the area. The state and condition of primary schools especially is appalling! How do you grow a nation in such paltry facilities? What kind of people will they be?

  8. Kambwili,ever the casual dresser,sounds innocent and somewhat irritated by the accusations.Kabimba probably has something to do with digging this dirt.

  9. Kabimba may end up getting physically punched by one of these people he start messing with, he should dare go close to RDA there is Willie Nsanda, alaponona ena tangasha.

  10. Kabimba is suicidal. I am reliably informed that he is already at loggerheads with Willie Nsanda for allegedly scandalizing Nsanda on his relationship with Esther Phiri in the media. Nsanda is another Jerabo/Buchi Boy type from Kitwe who doesn’t brook nonsense and can be very physical. Can you imagine a diminutive but arrogant Kabimba taking on two uncompromising giants – Kambwili and Nsanda – at the same time! Kabimba has a death wish!

  11. Efyo ba president ba mwe bele ati abapase bonse, but ba chimbwili nabo tu gelo tu youth twafulisha mwe. Investigate him, he knows they can not do that without permission from ukwa. aha ha.

  12. The truth is Kambwili likes small girls. Bu Wynter Kabimba…data kaili pali Kambwili. The scrap metal dealer as RB put it.

  13. It’s good Kambwili is ready to be investigated. Other ministers should learn from his openness and not using intimidation against the ACC. Why did the BRE not speak to the media concerning abracadabra districts? I smell a rat.

  14. #15 Peter: you are right. we need sturctures which can be a marvel even after 40 years and not looking dilapidated upon completion like most of these new clinics, basic and high schools.

  15. How much money are we talking here? I doubt Kambwili is stupid enough to be stealing $10,000, say. We need to give our leaders the benefit of the doubt. We have become to obsessed with corruption (suspicious minds) to a point where people are unable to do their jobs without being falsely accused of stealing.

  16. Bushe Kabimbi, what type of a dog is he? who wants to bark anyhow at at everyone am he is a mad dog. Ala am ARV yakali sana.Bushe Ba Sata is he not aware of Kabimba’s stupidness. If you are playing we will divid PF. Kabimba with his fellow dog Silubanji and Kabwili, Lubinda and the rest of PF and we shall see.Kabimbi should not cheat himself that he can rule this country when he has never been an MP.

  17. It’s true this guy’s lips are red why? awe he is a sickman PF forgive this red lipped pig, he doesn’t know what he is doing.When you take alot of ARV’s you tend to lose your memory same applies to this red lipped Sala man.

  18. kabimba is not pleasing anyone in this country .The wise say,the haste climbler suddenly fall down.Us to top officials in the party are just watching .
