ROAN member of Parliament, Chishimba Kambwili was yesterday ordered to leave the National Assembly Chambers by Deputy Speaker, Mutale Nalumango.
This was after Mr Kambwili passed a running comment when Minister of Energy and Water Development Kenneth Konga was responding to a question from Kankoyo MP Percy Chanda (PF) who wanted to know the programme that government has put in place to minimise load shedding as well as ensure that Zambians benefit from electricity.
But before Mr Konga could respond, Mr Kambwili ordered the minister to keep quiet and sit down.
This prompted Mrs Nalumango to order Mr Kambwili to leave the house, saying she can not tolerate unparliamentary behaviour.
She also cautioned MPs against using unprintable language because it can provoke fights in the house.
[Zambia Daily Mail]
That is what happens when you get Kaponyas in Honorable places. He thinks National Assembly is like Bus station where he used to run commentary of “Lilanda, Matero, Chaisa Ngombe TIYENI..FIVE FIVE KUMBOYO..FENDELANI”
This should save as a lesson to electro late that they should not vote for Kaponyas during elections cause Kambwili was used to such type of behavior on roan station where I used to meet and fear him for INSULTS …………………………..//////////////////
finally some news.opo buchelele ku Zambia.#1 papa J,mwansekesha.
That is Kambwili for PF.What kind of a lawmaker is he who can not follow simple parliament procedures. I feel for Zed for having such lawmakers and I pray we wont have Sata for president.
Watch out Zambia:
One undeniable truth is that someone like myself, a foreigner was valued more than any Zambian. It was as if what I am made me inherently superior, intelligent, knowledgeable and rich. I could literally do anything I pleased without serious retribution. If I was involved in a fight for instance with a black Zambian in which I instigated, it is quite likely that the police would immediately assume my innocence and batter the other poor fellow before realizing the truth. It was becoming ridiculous; I was no longer waiting in line because Zambians would gladly give up their spot for me. Foreign dignitaries probably have much more power than the Zambian government itself in the sovereign republic of Zambia. The attention paid to the words of a foreign official is paramount.
It was not necessary to send Kambwili out of the house. We are having so many problems with Zesco and this has bin going on for years. We cant just be listening to Ministers teling lies in parliament on straight forward issues. Its better to tell them to shut & sit down. The truth is there are constant load shedding day in day out. Konga was at Zesco as some Director including Felix Mutati. We expect these 2 men to tell what they know about Zesco’s operations. The problem with Hon Deputy Speaker is getting too emotional. MPs yes let them fight if there is too much incosistencty and lies. It happens in Japan, India, Taiwan etc.
I dont think he did anything wrong when obviously the answer to question was not even satisfactory. In which case it would have been better for the minster to sit down and keep quite. who wants know one lie after another.
“SIR, I WILL NOT TOLERATE SUCH KIND OF LANGUAGE IN THIS HOUSE, MAY YOU PLEASE
LEAVE THE HOUSE”
Load shedding has become a part of life again…last time we were told that it was the high mining activities that were straining supply, after the crunch and collapse of mining they told us it was the weeds that clogged the generators……and now what?!! Yes I agree with Kambwili, S.T.F.U and sit down you damn tweet…
The topic at hand certainly demanded answers, and Kambwili should have not behaved like that, it was cynical. There’s need to be sober in procedural gatherings let alone parliament. He should have done well to debate the Minister’s response. It’s electricity, when they debate “mid term gratuity” he will not side with the Zambians, as he is trying to portray here. Politics, Poli comes from Poly (many) , tics from ticks (parasites). Politicians in Zambia are there to suck, because they are ticks!
Just how do people like him get into Parliament?
konga was not going to say anything tangible .but my prayer is t o see the speaker throw out an MMD guy.since they also boo the opposition and make such like comments,for now iam doubtful it was well intentioned .and this hate writtings by realistic person are pathetic to say the least .we zambians love each other .its normal to feel envious when someone is doing well but that is where it ends .we have never gone the rwanda way or sudanese way or south african way so please dont give us that crap
Do you guys seriously think that whatever Konga was to say had any sense? If so, why is Kambwili’s action attracting more attention than whatever Konga’s reply was? Coz I still think he went on to explain after the chap had been given marching orders…..just shows you that his explaination was crap, anyway that is by going with Daily Mail’s reporting style.
So mama matako nalumango and daily mail, what was mutati’s response?
LT why even waste our greatly valued time on this useless news? Chishimba was just joking as they always do in parliament. Did he insult the minister? This is not news ..what we want to hear is how zambians going to benefit from their own electricity. How Zesco is going to be finacially sustainable and how Zesco will protect itsself from MMD misuse of its money.
I think this is sheer stupidity ! What wrong did Kambwili do?The problem we have in zambia is that we have so many MPs you are too stuck up.When they go in the national assembly they talk crap even worse they don’t advocate for people in their constituencies.”In the Heat of Anger Complaints May be Expressed in a Distructive Fashion” so please leave kambwili alone!!!
I think this is sheer stupidity !What wrong did Kambwili do?The problem we have in zambia is that we have so many MPs who are too stuck up.When they go in the National Assembly,they talk crap,even worse they don’t advocate for people in their respective constituencies.We need people who are vocal and vibrant like Kambwili. “In the Heat of Anger Complaints may be Expressed in a Destructive Fashion” So please for crying out loud ,leave Kambwili alone!!
ba Mdam Deputy Speaker bali zanda
Ba LT what is happening kanshi? Muletuchinga?
Ba LT please try to get news from other sources aswell,why is it always state run media that you quote for stories that are one sided,its getting to be boring and off putting
I agree with the others who are demanding that LT improves on its news collections. Diversity of news pa Z. U may end up loosibg some of your clients on this site due to your poor news items. Regars
The entire MMD government needs to shut up.If they rig elections this time Zambians should be brave enough to go the Madagascar way or worse still employ the Guinea Bissau method and silence these vampires forever.
Ministers tell us booshit day in day out.Kambwili had no reason to be civil,these ministers are animals and only people like Kambwili are brave enough to tell them off.In Japan,India,Taiwan and Korea MPs get angry enough and even box useless ministers.Viva Kambwili to hell with that old bich Nalumango.
These MMD vampires need to be silenced either the way of Madagascar or worse still the Guinea Bissau way.I have more rights as a foreigner here than I have in my own forsaken motherland Zambia.Ministers tell us lies and crap day in day out.Kambwili knew Konga was only going to say nonsense.In fact Nalumango should have also been told to shut up.In Japan,Taiwan,India,South Korea government ministers are sometimes boxed by MPs for telling people boo! I like Kambwili because he is not docile like the rest of you bloggers advocating that he should have kept quiet.Because you are docile MMD has taken you for embaciles.
Iam not suprised, he is a kaponya what do you expect
Can somebody help me……..what is the contact email address for UPND and their website as well?
19, if the PF ‘know’ that the answers from the front bench are always boo, why did they even bother asking?
Kambwili is one funny dude! I dig his motive though coz he knew that all he was goin to hear was BLA BLA bloody BLA!
The only problem with us in Zambia is that we think anything to do with PF is good!Much as we are sick and tired of the MMD’s mismanagent of our country,we cant tolerate the behavior of some of these PF MPs.I was born and raised in LY and I know Kambwili well.The man is a brutal kaponya and scrap metal deller!Infact he is one of the people contributing to the stripping of assets @ the LY mine.He has employed his fellow ifinyamunyamu 2 steal metals from the mine which he sells as scrap.He is only in parly bcoz of PF.Dont b suprised wen Dandy Crazy bcomes PF MP on the C/belt in 2011.
#19 Mulenga – Newcastle, you need to know that those of us who are not in the castle like you, enjoying fruits of a whiteman, should be left alone not to be put in a situation where our mothers, sisters and daughters are raped and where our limbs are cut to pieces. Such desire of coups can only come from a person whose brain needs urgent operation to remove a “foolish-thought” tumour which has caused such an irrational and irresponsble comment.
Kambwili waku Mpatamato. He is a born heckler.
Bushe uyi Kambwili – is he the guy who used to deal in coper cathodes/left overs? Just wondering if people voted for this dude when his professional life was stealing and inciting people to steal from the mines.
I wish all Mps started telling these thieves to sit down before standing up. What ever elucidations they have for important queries are all dull and useless. We are tied of dull Ministers who have turned the parliament of zambia ito a play ground to tell what ever jokes they plot in their heads. REVOLUTION 2011
If MP’S IN OTHER COUNTRIES FIGHT , IT DOESN’T MEAN ZAMBIAN MP’s SHOULD DO THE SAME. WAKE UP PEOPLE NOT EVERYTHING DONE IN THE WESTERN WORLD IS RIGHT.
Kabwili can act in such a manner, can be kaponya or former call boy. Lets get to the root of the problem, pipo on this blog there is a sense of uniting and force on a common goel. The GRZ are doing stuff which are provocative. How do you go buy madamada for $29000 each when zesco had gut issues, zemtel just to mention afew.Tete the way the chap talk could u tell that guy to shit in his pants? Am tired and sick of this RB Govt.
Alll MPs should respect the house of parliament regardless of which party they belong to. If they feel that the speaker is too partisan, then they should bring this up in a dignified manner. Just looking at the photo of Kambwili and the way he insulted the Luvale peopple, you can tell he is a thug but if people voted for him then he has the right to be in the house but whilst there he should behave with the decorum that the house deserves. He should leave his rabble rousing for his kaponyas in Luanshya.
Hon. kambwili is a voice for many zambians more like Ntondo Chindoloma ( remember him) and makes me wonder what it is in Roan Mps first it was Cameroon Pwele and now its Kambwili ( i smell rats ).Keep the pressure on Honourable !
He get’s lessons from his president.the are all senile.
#29 Shin’onga, You and your mother,sisters and daughters are beneficiaries of the MMD looting,so don’t talk nonsense to me.I have my entire family suffering due to your vampire government,I have lost relatives and friends due lack of medicine,nephews and nieces cannot go to school because there is no money.You and your MMD need to be silenced in order for us to survive.You have totally screwed up the country and caused many deaths.The death of MMD to save millions of Zambians is more than welcome.They don’t care about us why should we care about them?
#35… Kambwili never insulted the Lubale people. He insulted Kachimba period. I wonder why you guys suffer from incurable infiriority complex. Grow up and stop dreaming man.
#38 -Kambongolo I am actually not Luvale but that is besides the point. If he had not wanted to insult the Luvale people then why did he have to bring Kachimba’s ethnic group into it? Why didn’t he just insult Kachimba and leave it at that? Also, if he had not intended to cause any offence why didn’t he simply apologise? The man is a thug and looks like it too. Whether MMD politician is talking sh*t or not the House of Parliament has to be respected. It is like respecting the rule of law and thuggish behaviour should not be tolerated regardless of which party the perpetrator belongs to. It just seems that in terms of thuggery, PF seems to be over represented – remember the two women MPs fighting in public anyone?
#38 – First and foremost I am actually not Luvale. It is very telling to me that just because I found Kambwili’s utterances offensive, you assume that I am Luvale ,well you are wrong an just not driven by ethnic hate. If Kambwili had only intended to insult Kachimba, then why did he have to bring the fact that Kachimba is Luvale into the argument? What has that got to do with anything? If a white guy in the US or UK came up with the sentence saying ‘that is what you get when you vote for black people, there are some intelligent black people out there but not that one’, would that not come accross as racist and condenscending to you?
We should respect the house of parliament. Even that MMD minister who you think is talking rubbish has a right to be in that house and…
and should be afforded the courtesy to state his case and position. After all parliament is a forum for debate. That is what the world ‘parliament’ actually means. If MMD members do not behave in a manner becoming of an honorary member of the house, they too should be reprimanded. This is not a party political issue although it seems that recently it is PF MPs who are bringing the house into disrepute – remember the two MPs brawling in broad daylight anyone?
All PF MPs are mediocre,cheap glory seekers who speak nonsense under the guise of speaking for the poor.they exhibit the worst form of uncouth behavior ever witnessed in that house.equally their MMD coleagues are not any better though in that camp you can find a few sober minds but the best crop of MPs are in UPND they age gentlemen who dont play to the gallery.they have always exhibited a sense on national responsibility in what ever they do and debate.
You realistic person i.e. our culture/tradition. We like to respect foreigners and it happens in many countries. I was in china for 2 yrs. each time I got a bus that was full Chinese were giving me seats. If we know you are a foreign resident we will treat you differently. So grown up and accept different cultures
Its a disgrace for the MMD Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly to send Kambwili out of the house.
She is just showing partisan politics and trying to protect the non-performance of government.
Just a few days ago she was protecting Dorah Siliya on the issue of the UNZA lecturers strike.
I would advise her to listen or watch the UK Prime Minister’s Question time or other ministry debates for her to appreciate parliamentry behaviour and will not witness a fight.
Shame on you madam MMD Deputy Speaker National Assembly.
Do not stifle debate and its associated commentries and comments as the same happens when the opposition is on the floor.
Where is democracy on this globe kanshi??????
In the name of peace the MMD government has taken Zambians for granted,to me I think a nation is not at peace when the marjority go hungry or eat food not fit for farm animals,when countless numbers of poor people perish at the hands of a government that does not care about improving the health system,a government that denies its citizens the right to education by not building enough schools i.e. primary,secondary,colleges and universities.A government that cares nothing about providing its poor citizens with affordable housing,as more than 85% of Zambians live in shanties.A government whose main interest is self preservation at any cost.This vampire MMD is far worse than UNIP when it comes to citizen welfare,now am not saying we go back to UNIP,but KK loved Zambia than these vampires.
The behaviour of the Speaker is just a confimation of the dictatorship of the MMD government leadership. In Zambia the minsters, MP’s, civil servants, the police must amplify their master’s voice otherwise they get fired unceremoniously at the so called state house press conferences, Kaunda style.
Has anyone read Tetamashimba’s remarks in support of The Post newspapers stand on corruption?
Kambwili sure, that is parliament not scrap metal dealings were you just talk anyhow. Learn some manners please or else your constituency will not be reoresented because of your abscence from the house.
Imwe Kambwili ni kabova . He used to be a goalkeeper for inter-combon matches. I am now surprised he can tell someone to sit down. Kabovolic manners.
But naimwe mwema Zambian baku roan nishi tamwaishibe ati nikaponya? How do you expect a mad man to be your leader, surely you can only blame yourselves.
Matworld what goes on with your phones I tried to call you no success I changed my name from Muzo to Skono ya Dende Pakati because I love my Tumbuka friends ,though balishishita bati they are my best friends, When I go back home nkaya ikala ku Kanele boks 1. Yooyani bana bakwitu tupulikane, Mnyumu uli mu Tumbuka mudala landapo
But why is this Sakalanyongo always in the news for the wrong reasons? Or is he the image of PF? I wonder what the PF and the people of Roan saw in this empyt-head called Kambwili. I am surprised that some people on this blog are supporting his senseless behaviour. It is shocking.
Iwe # 45 MULE you are the only one uwalanda ifyamano. This D/Speaker is MMD MP for Katwishi nga ni kaputa how can she not be baised?
