National Democratic Congress President Chishimba Kambwili has refused to give any information to the Drug Enforcement commission regarding accusations of Drug trafficking involving President Edgar Lungu and businessman Valden Findlay.

Mr Kambwili who this morning appeared before the DEC for questioning said he no longer takes the Commission serious due to their failure to investigate serious matters in the past.

He told Journalists that his summoning was a sheer waste of time as they cannot investigate the matter.

Mr Kambwili lamented that the DEC has despite him reporting failed to investigate the K30 million disbursed by the Presidential Empowerment Initiative Fund and the vehicles procured by the PF distributed to their women and youth league’s.

The NDC Leader who has been sued by Mr Findlay accused DEC of wanting to use any information they will collect against him.

Mr Kambwili said even in his confused state of mind, he cannot give any information to the DEC.

And DEC Assistant Public Relations Officer Kamufinsa Manchishi said the Commission will continue investigating the matter.

He said Mr Kanbwili was summoned to provide any further information he may have regarding the accusations he made and not to harass him.

Mr Manchishi said Mr Kambwili is protected like any other whistleblower and information collected from him was for investigation purposes.

    • Whistle blowers own the whistle voluntarily blow it, in private. They don’t get summoned and exposed. CK has the last laugh here.

    • DEC should summon OP to give them background of Valden, from his birth to yesterday.
      OP knows each one of those who get on that over-prices Presidential Gulf Stream jet.
      No one should be surprised if they see Valden Findlay’s signature of Presidential plane’s registration papers.
      I have information, but am not going to give to ACC.

    • Here you have it and what did i tell you guys yesterday that this will just end up in the dustbin of History….whats the point of pointing out a crime when you know nothing can be done…reminds me of a story of a young boy who went to steal mangoes with his father…his father was up in the tree throwing mangoes down to his son…the owner confronted the boy and told him that he will report him to his Father…the boy said you can report me to my father right now because he is up the tree throwing mangoes down….case closed

    • So the President himself is the one dealing in drugs….and DEC is under him….what do you expect….so best way is to get him out of office ASAP but again the constitution is being manipulated…..lets just wait for Jesus Christ to come and save our souls…..Lungu and his fellow bandits are killing us

    • Whistle blower or attention seeker…..i go for the latter…Kambwili likes to make noise just to get the attention and HH is too dull to see that…just following Kambwili blindly

    • The next step is to take this man to court so he can devulge the information under oath. If he refuses, he should pay damages for defamation or and jailed for criminal defamation of the president

    • I would do exactly as CK did under this captured state. In fact giving them information means you want them to go and destroy evidence. Now is just time to collect evidence and keep it tight locked anyhow for the future.

    • For sure you are a moron ….in your skopo Kambwili has informations to avail to DEC on your presidents Confidant. He has just opened up on one of issues most of you cadres have been brushing aside. Let the presidency and Valden prove that the allegations are false.

    • So if CK says “your spouse is sleeping around” just because he saw your spouse with the ex, then thats the truth. Why should the burden of proof be on the spouse and not CK?

      He’s just an alarmist. And want to gain political mileage out of allegations.

    • We are being childish as a country to even entertain this drama. There are a lot of serious issues the country is facing which need serious minded political leaders. Dr. Chishimba kambwiri is a former cabinet minister, a former Member of Parliament, a former founding member of the PF party. A lot of things ck is ranting about borders on oath of all the positions he held. This means currently he has displayed total childishness that he is no longer fit to occupy any public office. As a mature public figure, there sre things you can blow out of proportion and things you cannot talk about. Let give you some few examples… As a nation, we have been struggling to clearly understand the position of government on the barotse land agreement of 1964. Dr. K.D. kaunda is still alive, but he has…

  1. WHAT IF WE DIDN’T PAY ALL THE SECURITY WINGS UNTIL THEY FOUND THE OWNER OF THE 48 HOUSES?? WE CAN PAY THE COUNCIL’S AT LEAST THEY ARE TRYING TO REMOVE RUBBISH FROM OUR STREETS

  2. HH went to ACC offices with full information on the 48 flats but the officers there scampered in different directions. So it is of no use taking any information to these investigative wings when they know that very high profile people are involved

    • @governance expert. Check your facts. What HH presented at ACC is public domain. What facts do you see? Do not follow sensationalism Of ACC scampering. The document was finally submitted. Please check it.

  3. Ask Sigal Mandelker nicely Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence or OFAC they have comprehensive review ,documented and detail on Hindlay state capture from Zambia to SA to Hong Kongo and across the regions
    They will arrest him once he cross there in his own Jet not in Presidential Jet Ask nicely and bann him from statehouse and presidential Jet Its there

    Even though kambwili had it will be not heavy but ask nicely you will have proper transcript on your detail for a good case

  4. Interesting Mr kambwili’s tongue is his poison.

    Whistleblowers are people of above average intelligence,with quality information.

    He is playing with fire.He should thank God that President Lungu is his tribal cousin.

    What I know is that office of the president is not “merry go round “ game to play with.

    We have seen in many countries thus include developed democratic states figures like Mr.kambwili dying mysterious for daring the leadership.

    Mr. kambwili is so careless with his life course.

  5. Who is the owner of 48 mirracles? was Findlay summoned to appear before DEC? Who is the owner of NDF Bill 10? Where is the Lusaka – Ndola dual carriage way. Why others increased their salaries by 100% whilst got 4%? Why do we have load shading while lower part of zambezi river Mozambique sharing the same river do not have? Why buy two planes as national carriers that have failed to fly? Why build a new Ndola Airport instead of building solar energy? Where is the money tolling gates going to? Why it is taking so long to pay retirees? Why is CK followed and not the person he mentioned that he should tell the pipo of Zed why he is fying with Findlay on official duties when he is not not any near governt appointments? Why Mutambo wants to sale maize to Congo when pipo in SP are eating fruits…

  6. Whistle blowers own the whistle voluntarily blow it, in private. They don’t get summoned and exposed. CK has the last laugh here.

  7. At 7.ask

    If You have information avail it to civil society organizations to help you.They will help you handle the case accordingly. I think people like you tends to mislead people on social media.

    Such assumptions are like wild fire.

  8. Who will take these accusations by the so called opposition seriously if when given a chance to prove their allegations, all what people get instead is illness, fainting, silence and refusal to cooperate? In short, all the nonsense Kambwili and HH have been heaping on President Lungu and PF is trash. I mean people lets make these so called opposition chaps who are expected to be providing checks balances accountable. Never in our political sphere have we seen such circus from the opposition.
    Late President Sata had facts and whenever he made an allegation, it held water, not these funny creatures that are masquerading as opposition leaders. When people vote and keep PF and President Lungu in power for as long as it takes, can you honestly complain with such characters in opposition like…

  9. There is a D R already let them DEC ask Sigal Mandelker nicely Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence or OFAC

    It will be sent to put the case and allegations aside but Kabwili has a regiment accusations and DEC must support him by requesting for that detail nicely from sister institutions Its there officially on Findings

    But again Kabwili is not authentic That aside it should DEC V Find lay

  10. Clowns, jesters and f00ls!! Anti corruption is a joke in Zambia, a media circus used by politicians to get at their opponents. And the gullible dingbats that support the opposition believe it religiously. We have a long way to go in this aspect.

  11. This is how useless our opposition politicians can be.All their allegations are pure nonsense!!!Only a lunatic would take Kambwili and HH serious!!!
    Now Kambwili must be taken to court and if found guilty,he should be jailed for spreading lies and tarning the image of the presidency!!

  12. Comment:It is really surprising that DEC is summoning a whistle blower instead of the person being reported. the whistle blower in this case has been taken to court, is it not contempt of court by DEC to interrogate Mr Kambwili. does the DEC want to get information from Mr kambwili and give it to Findley so that he has an idea on which to base his argument. iye kaya mwandi APA pa Zambia

  13. The DEC has all the information already, but cannot act. They choose to pretend to need more information, so that they can intimidate CK – to stop any further such pronouncements in public. A whistleblower does it discreetly – how can the DEC call CK a whistle blower when the whole world knows what he stated and this issue of Findley is notoriously in the public domain?

  14. The President has to act with boldness and dissociate himself with any form of perceived state capture by Investors or Friends

    Its interesting that this Goswani and colleges are a classical study of case study of State Capture in Kenya by his fellow bogus Investing Indians and Chinese

    Its was coming to Zambia with his drive to acquire some drink company and cement factory in talks with the same

    its never too late to dissociate and remain focused

  15. WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT BRAVO KAMBWILI. YOU,ARE A MAN. YOU,HAVE MY BACK.*****S LIKE SHARON WHO ARE BRIANLESS CAN BE BUSY INSULTING YOU AND HH .I LOVE U ALOT. LET,GOD USE U GUYS TO DELIVER US FROM THE PAIN OF THESE PEOPLE BA PF. THEY ARE WORSHIPPING ECL FOR NOTHING. EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS MAN IS QUESTIONABLE. LET ME GET A PHRASE FROM PRO. LUMUMBA YOU WOULD RATHER MAKE SOMEONE A BIG HERO WHEN THEY IS NOTHING REASONABLE HE HAS DONE FOR THE COUNTRY. THESE ARE THE SAME PEOPLE WHEN THEY LEAVE OFFICE HE WILL BE GOING TO COURT ALONE WHEN BENE ANDREW YALI ARE NOW BUSY THROWING STONE AT HIM. IT HAPPENED TO FTJ. DID U EVER SEE BENE BOBO,KANTOMBI,NAKAWALA ETC? I FORESEE THESE PF GUYS WHEN THEY WILL BE CHANGE OF GOVT THEM LEAVING ECL ALONE GOING THROUGH PAIN.
