Information and Broadcasting Services Minister Chishimba Kambwlili says government is disappointed with sentiments attributed to Non Governmental Organization Coordinating Council (NGOCC) chairperson Sara Longwe.

NGOCC board chairperson Sarah Longwe is quoted as saying Government should not be lying to us. First, they told us that he had malaria, but can traces of malaria cause a person to collapse?”Mrs Longwe asked. She further questioned why Chanda rushed to announce that the President had been diagnosed with malaria, a report which later turned out not to be true. “When they first came out, the explanation they gave is that he had malaria and also that he was stressed leading to him collapsing. From what we know, if it was malaria, the person should have shown some symptoms of malaria which they should have noticed. But from the look of things, they are hiding [something] as usual,” Longwe said.

Mr Kambwli said Ms Longwe’s sentiments to question the sincerity of statements from State House over the illness of President Edgar Lungu should be condemned in the strongest terms.

The Information Minister was speaking yesterday during a press briefing held at Ministry Headquarters in Lusaka.Mr Kambwili noted that government finds it cruel that Ms Longwe instead of sympathizing with the Republican President, is instead deriving joy from the president’s ailment.

He said that it was un Zambian for one to cerebrate over the sickness of another and wishing him or her dead.

And Mr Kambwili has also warned Post Newspaper Managing Director Fred M’membe for his careless reporting over the illness of President Lungu.

Mr Kambwili said it was regrettable that to on Sunday, Mr M’membe derived fun from the incidence at the National Heroes Stadium and ended up writing an immature story with a debased headline.

He expressed sadness that the headline which appeared in the private newspaper was childish where he accused the president that he fell sick because of alcohol.

Mr Kambwili further strongly warned Mr M’membe of serious consequences should he continue writing what he termed ‘silly’ stories about the Head of State.

He noted that the media should write the truth instead of misleading people with false hoods which do not hold water at all.

    • Kashimba Chimbwi(li), you know it’s true Edgar loves alcohol and government issued several misleading statements. So why the threats?

    • PF are excellent at saying things which are the direct opposite of the truth.

      Kambwili should learn to keep his mouth shut at times. Silence is golden.

    • Can someone please remind us what Kambwili said about Edgars Lungu before the latter was made PF presidential candidate …?? You will be shocked at the hypocrisy being exhibited!

    • Edgar’s trip to South Africa is useless and worst of time and resources. The man didn’t collapse because of the “food pipe”, he collapsed from side effects of alcohol.

  1. The biggest head with smallest brain in Zambia has exercised his prerogative to threaten and bully again shamelessly.

    Mr. Kambwili, if it is true what you are saying, then doctors which give clean bill of health to H.E. The President few weeks ago are either useless quacks or they have lied to the People of Zambia and if they are useless quacks why they are still in employment or who instructed them to lie?
    Can you please clarify.

  2. There is nothing like traces of malaria in the medical world it is either you have it or not please teach your spokes person terms to use before we hit back and pump sense into him.

  3. Shameless lies again from Hon. Kambwili. You lied about president Sata and now you’re lying about president Lungu. Already we are receiving conflicting statements in relation to the original statement. Why do you people in government keep on lying? The lies will never set you free. Only the truth can set you free. How can people pray effectively if you’re lying. Eg. If we’re praying for the president to be healed of Malaria and the president is suffering from a different illness, that prayer will not find malaria in the president, hence the president will not be cured. No one is rejoicing that the president is sick. People are concerned about our president.

  4. If there is one person who is the happiest about the president’s illness, it is Kambwili and others morons pretending to be good to ECL. These are real vultures waiting for the prey to completely die. They are like rats biting and blowing to cool the wound. You will see how they will come out in number contesting, God forbid, if President left office.

  5. …Has someone seen the video of Chris Mvunga celebrating his appointment while praising Rupiya Banda?

    What is Rupiya Banda doing at Milpark Hospital and under whose expense?

    Kambwili, retrospect and remember what you said about Chagwa when he was nominated by show of hands!!

    What did Chikwanda say about Edgar and alcohol when he was recorded?

    What Kambwili should do is to ask Boko Haram to give him back his neck, may be he will start thinking properly.

    PF lied throught their teeth regarding SATA and Zambian are right to question and doubt their statements based on past experience.

    Stop threatening people…..VIVA NGOCC and VIVA The Post for once after 2011!!!

    • Yes I saw the video of Christopher Mvunga celebrating his appointment while praising Rupiya Banda? The music never stops playing.

  6. Firstly Edgar does not think correctly no wonder he ended up appointing Kambwili as Information minister, This PF government are not to any good.Its true many statements were issued on Lungu’s collapsing but the truth is Edgar is sick and he has admitted.Is Chishimba a doctor today?

  7. Ba kabwili what’s wrong for that woman to say the truth? I’m PF and I see no wrong in sara telling the truth.
    The president is sick and all we need to do is to pray for him. Stop been childish kabwili and don’t think you will be in government forever.

  8. Kambwilli is just a stupid fatso, who cares what he says? Let him just continue hammering his sister-in-law.

  9. In other media are saying Chagwa agwa. But why Kambwili (hoe) is trying to cover the shame by telling us lies or threatening people? We all know what happen, it wasn’t any man’s fault neither planned but we can’t blame anyone for the president,s condition if Kambwili continues watch dog knows him better.

  10. The late sata (mhsrp) was good at mocking others such as Mazoka, Levy and Kunda no one paraded themselves condemning the unzambian utterances. It’s sickening.

  11. I think Chagwa is a bad middle name. its a confession all the time. How can the president stop collapsing/ those who understand spiritual matters will agree with me. Let him change this name officially. Just some advice..

  12. The desire to cause pain to one another should be condemned, my sister chairperson for NGOCC Think about the word of God seriously before commenting on national matters.Please forgive musician Gen kanene prison institution are not for punishment but for reformation of ones life.You should even give thanks to the prison service to ve reformed that person
