Justice Minister Wynter Kabimba has hit back at people and organizations criticizing him over his conduct when he was summoned for questioning by the Anti Corruption Commission on Monday over corruption allegations involving an oil deal.

Justice Minister Wynter Kabimba has hit back at people and organizations criticizing him over his conduct when he was summoned for questioning by the Anti Corruption Commission on Monday over corruption allegations involving an oil deal.

Mr Kabimba has told QFM News that he does not need any lectures especially from the Non Governmental Organization who have requested him to apologize to the ACC.

He has since challenged the NGOs that seem to be champions of democracy to explain where they were, when the Patriotic Front party fought hard to remove the Rupiah Banda led MMD administration from power which he says was the most corrupt administration.

Mr. Kabimba has also stressed that ACC has not demanded for an apology from him over his conduct wondering why the civil society seems to be too vocal on the matter.

Mr. Kabimba who also PF Secretary General says NGOs should leave his case to be handled by the ACC because he was not summoned by the NGOs or the civil society.

He has also indicated that he has written a letter to the ACC explaining the circumstances that led to his refusal to be questioned in private.

Mr. Kabimba refused to be questioned by ACC on Monday when he was summoned for questioning over allegations of corrupt activities in the Trafigura oil deal in which he is said to have received kick-backs.

    • It is sad that people like you Masala Market support people blindly. You and your Kabimba must know that fighting corruption is a governance issue and in government there are institutions that are mandated to carry out duties in fighting corruption. No one is above the law and therefor when Kabimba was summoned, the ACC did not also summon Cadres. It is a shame on the justice minister to miss the obvious over which he is supposed to be an expert especially that he is a lawyer. I wonder what the institution that awarded him a degree in law feels. Shame Mr. Justice Minister.

  1. Wow! Do we have a president in Zambia? IF WE DO then please let him suspend this minister and allow law agencies do their work. This is now circus.

    • @ Operation, we have one who is endorsing corruption. Now ACC will have to get clearance from to to investigate senior govt officials, so sad!!!!

  2. Just shut up if you have nothing sensible to say. Leave the NGOs alone. You are not the one who got Rupiah out of office. We the people together with the NGOs did; and we can remove you as well. Only a fool would condone what you did. If you had any ounce of decency in you, you would at least apologize. The silence from your boss speaks volumes.

  3. ACC HASN’T DEMANDED APOLOGY BECAUSE YOU ARE STILL IN OFFICE AND SOMEONE IS FEARING EXPULSION WHEN APOLOGY IS DEMANDED. WHAT YOU HAVE SAID HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ARROGANCE YOU EXHIBITED AS A JUSTICE MINISTER. IT IS THE SAME THING YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT WHEN HH GOES FOR INTERROGATION WITH CADRES. IN FACT YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO APOLOGIZE BUT STEP DOWN TO ALLOW FOR UN BIASED INVESTIGATIONS AGAINST YOUR ALLEGED CORRUPTION TO GO SMOOTHLY. YOUR BEHAVIOUR WAS VERY PATHETIC TO SAY THE LEAST.

  4. Kulibonesha ta! Where is the humility in this man? Sure ayitaya. This is the same son of a gun who hounded the likes of Dr. Mulenga from the PF national executice committee and disbanded the PF research beaurau which Dr Mulenga created to find a bridge between what the voters wanted and the PF manifesto.

  5. He is very arrogant not fit to be a minister.We have seen people who behaved like him in the past. were are they? good example is mike mulongoti

  6. This is crass. This is pride of the worst order. Pride goes before a fall. This mans political life ends with this.

  7. ACC falls under justice ministry, all those are junior to wynter, thats why the man behaved like that……………………

  8. And to think that this is a PF Presidential hopeful, what pity. Such arrogance, impunity and pride will be your downfall Winter. Learn from the past.

  9. Stubborn Wynter, when will you learn to respect institutions mandated to provide Justice? Tone down on your approach! You are in politics, remember.

  10. Kabimba is a disgrace. How can a so-called minister of justice mobilise a gang of hooligans, masquearading as PF cadres, to subvert due process of the law? It was pathetic, to say the least, to see the whole man of the law smiling, waving and playing to the political gallery amidst the sickening cheers of these pf illiterates. Where is the rule of law here? And what has President Sata to say to this? When will things ever change in our Mothherland? God save us!

  11. its good winter has spoken because its only when somebody speaks wen we can tell the difference between a wise and a fool..a pride and a humble am sure we can tell something from winter

  12. Viva…..Wynter!! Thats the way a man should be.Why shud you apologise?where you wrong?You have written to ACC explaining wat had caused you to do that.You are really a man.I envy such persons like you Wynter.Why shud an NGO ask u to apologise?Foolish them!! You are doing it the right way my man!! Viva…vivaa…..vivaaaaaa!!!!

  13. As of today Winter your New name is Trafigura. No more Winter Kabimba.Your stubbornness is destroying You Trafigura and your party- PF

  14. OKay now Winter says MMD under RB most corrupt. So he actually does accept some level of being corrupt. Oh my God!!!.

    We are in S.h.i.t. Lol

  15. The problem is the man in state house who just talks against corruption but does nothing. Also some citizens like William Harrington who petitioned that Dora should step down first are also silent. Even the NGOs them selves why ask him to apologise instead of demanding that he steps aside! VIVA the ‘corrupt’ RB for he did the right thing! We are yet to see more legalised corruption such as allocation of 1.5bn to an illeagal office of someone’s wife

  16. Winter is an educated fool who thinks primitively, ask his wife who know him well. Ask the children including the retard in Japan, they all know him to be boastful arrogant and pompous. He thnks hez above the Law, look him hes a shame to the legal fraternity and even a lay man can understand that there is no sense in his talk legally. This is wat u voted for so lets enjoy our labor boys and girls, men and women. I no longer vote and am proud to be one. My last vote went to HELP Mwanawasa MHSIP (whatever this means.)

  17. Kabimba: stop waxing in arrogance. Simply; you have lost it. President Sata: fire this man, both form cabinet and party posts. He has become highly toxic, obnoxious and destructive to both government and PF.

  18. where did this man study law? am a student of law but if i was to meet this man i will ask his lectuers to revise the all course whith him…was hakainde u humiliated the other day when he went eith cadres part of the mmd u removed?infact pipo voted it wasnt you who removed them. infact you lost from ur constituency has an mp..u are the reject from ur own pipo now u want to make noise because u have been adpted?foolish man and u look sick!!!!

    • Ba law student! Check your chizungu, and if possible post it again. I expected you to do much better in communications that an Engineering student. Did you even get a clear pass in English or communication skills. Coming to the issue: why was it ultimately alright for HH to have gone forth with his cadres but never for Kabimba? Almost everyone including the leaves of any Lusaka tree protested to say the police should have allowed the cadres to be there! Barely 3 Months later, a new turn is being taken by the same people. “Easy when you say How!”

  19. Forget about MMD being the worst corrupt, your PF govt is. Upto now you have failed to point at anything Rupiah store. Even if Henry was to avail himself to you you will have no case against him as is the case with James who is very much around. Dora you are just persecuting her for nothing even your super men Mtembo, mmembe ve no tangible evidence maybe in their dreams despite now having all the instruments of power in your hands, you and your friends ministers are failing to resign like Dora did just to protect your PF corrupt activities, yo presido is busy firing judges just to protect his stinkly corrupt super men, deporting anyone who dares preach against their PF corrupt activities, refusing anyone a rally fearing that the masses will be told about your PF corrupt activities, etc

  20. Mr kabimba we expect better from you,there is also hiring of ba lungizi who can help with behavour to suit ministerial status..at least leave the ministerial position to show williness to be investigated if you have nothing to hide.Ba president please help in image building…

  21. I never thought at one time that we would have a re-make of One Jonas Shakafuswa in the Pf govt, but am now thinking Winter is one and half of J.Shakafuswa when he was really stupid.

  22. Ba President, this man is your biggest liabillity. I do not know what you owe him. But enough is enough. As for me and my family, he is out. :-?

  23. Wynter, PF is our party, your behaviour is uncalled for. Infact u r now reminding me of people like Mulongoti, ur becoming too big headed, pompous and incorigible. Behave urself o ul b sorry.

  24. I saw a crip on MUVI TV about this dim wit when he stormed the ACC offices.His conduct was no different to the Kaponya at the intercity bus terminus.In fact some of them do behave themselves in a diginified manner.How on earth should we have him in government.Look at the way he’s defended himself in the article about.This explains why he lost all the cases that PF took to court under his supervision.Im sorry this government is useless and not value for the money are paid.

  25. Winter, you are a disgrace to the country and indeed to the PF Party. Removing of Banda through election does not come in, in actually sense and totality RB was removed by the Zambian peole.Here we talking about your unbecoming behaviour as a minster and for that matter as a minister for Justice. It doesn’t break a bone to acknowledge and honour your mistake, then apologise. You have disgraced the Zambian people who put you where you are today and apologise to them.Kubama uinyaze kubona.

  26. saw a crip on MUVI TV about this dim wit when he stormed the ACC offices.His conduct was no different to the Kaponya at the intercity bus terminus.In fact some of them do behave themselves in a dignified manner.How on earth should we have him in government?Look at the way he has defended himself in the article above.This explains why he lost all the cases that PF took to court under his supervision.I’m sorry, this government is useless and not value for the huge amounts of money tax payers pay them.

  27. Ba Wynter PF is our party, ur behaviour is embarrasing and uncalled for. u r now reminding me of mulongoti n Teta(MHSRIP), behave yourself boi. ichefye.

  28. Forgive the chap, he’s just drunk with power. Being a minister for only a couple of months, he still thinks its similar to running the party where he can bulldoze over everyone. Secondly, I would think 15 months would be ample time to at least bring some concrete corruption charges to the courts given the high levels of misconduct to guys always seem to sing about. 

  29. Winter whatever your name is SIR, Lern to be a humble person! Why can’t these political lumpens learn from others? If u look at people like Hon. Simbao, Hon Mutati, Hon Chitowo among others these guys can go anywhere with their heads UP coz of how they conducted themselves when they were in power. So Mr Kabimba, show to the young generation some sober politics rather than being drunk with power to the extent where one loses humility and conduct your self in the manner you did like un civilised individual!

  30. that kind of behave is soooooooooooooooooooooo bad sure ba justice minister shud grow up,that behaviour is unaccaptable i now believe ati if you are educated and arrogant its tribble kwena the man talks too much like a woman selling vegs at the market

  31. And this is your Justice Minister? He sounds like a demagogue . . . . . . a loser through and through!
    Rotten PF gabbage – the whole lot!

  32. Good point Peter #8. By the way, is this Winter Kabimba an ELECTED MP or an APPOINTED MP? He seems to have the arrogance of someone who has had things handed down and not earned. That is as much as I can say otherwise I will end up insulting him as he deserves…

  33. Now his is serious. This is arrogance of the first order. Now who thought MMD was arrogant? This is the calibre of the justice minister we have that could not give any reasonable arguments as to why he behaved the way he did. Instead, Winter chose to tell-off the people demanding that he shows leadership by behaving as one. I think even the blind can see where the problem is.

  34. I think Winter is not in this mess alone….how come the powers that be are quiet? This is exaclty the reason why Winter feels he is above the law.

  35. Well, i don’t know what really gets into the think heads of our politicians when they get power. They think there are above the law. please learn to respect yourself and observe the rule of law.

  36. very foolish man..who does he think he is…the man at state house is quiet about this..what sort of a country is this,i regret votings for these fools..i really do

  37. the motivation behind PF is slowly but surely coming out , it has always been greed and bitterness from the very start seeing their friends in MMD party and marry night and day and now its their time to get drunk with power, abuse the law and put both hands in the dish of corruption.

  38. Sata got a coded message from The Litunga.

    It read: 370HSSV-0773H

    Sata was stumped and sent for his cabinet. The cabinet being what it is was even more stumped, so it went to Willie Nsanda.
    As you would imagine Nsanda would be the last person to have a clue, so they asked Aka Lewanika.
    He suggested turning the message upside down …

  39. winter ulichipuba so your think u fought with ass to remove MMD or it’s us the people,do u think this is ur bedroom to tel us wat to do,*****chobe,*****,big ass

    • am a PF supporter but this man called Kabimba is letting the party down. Now am beginning to understand why people say this man has never won a case in court is the most dullest lawyer have ever seen. If he was the only Lawyer around and I have a case I would rather represent myself than hire him. Am sure with the little law I know I can do better than him. People are laughing at some of us who support PF with this man being the Secretary of the PF we are doomed come 2016

  41. Zambia, my beloved country is being raped. People, why is the Presido quiet? Do you really think Winter is alone in this mess? Remember, the Presido, Winter and the Indian own the company purpoted to belong to the PF Party. Even in the Trafigara issue, the Presido is fully aware of the happenings and this is why nothing will happen to Winter until you know when……

  42. Kabimba is just bitter after winning elections…………………….. loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooLlllllllllllllllllllllll

  43. Imagine what would happen to Winter if the Gov’t changed today. I really hope these guys read these bloggs and understand what the people feel about these issues. We don’t owe Winter anything, rather Winter owes this country a lot of trust and soberness. Winter, if we decide to knell down and pray to the good Lord, you will crumble just like the walls of Jerico did…be careful lest you are cursed by the people of this land.

  44. Kabimba’s behavior is quite revealing of a very corrupt relationship existing between him and MCS. How can Michael elect to remain mute in the sight of Kabimba and GBM’s alleged corrupt activities? Where are the Catholics as well?!

  45. So Winter is suggesting that he can do what ever he wants because he removed the MMD? What kind of thinking is this, especially out of a justice minister? We all removed the MMD and the PF owes it to the people of this land, especially the Copperbelt and Lusaka. With all this happening, what power does the ACC have and how can they quiz their boss. All those girls and boys at ACC are scared to death to do the right thing. I am sure they just have very simple questions for the minister…just to legitimise the process. We need strong institutions and not individuals.

  46. Winter is just as retarded as that Chi colour they have corruptly sent to Japan to represent us all .What on on earth is Zambia coming to?

  47. This man is delusional,it’s not pf that removed mmd,people got fed up with mmd,there removal had nothin to do pf, any honest person will tell u that pf was at The right place at the right time.am happy with all The project his excellency has commissioned,but he honestly needs to check his ministers,it’s people like this that plot things behind pipos back,seat your people down,the plan u had to divide then conquer mmd is having a reverse effect on pf,these guys are making your party look disorganised

  48. Are we seeing a George Kunda incarnate or what? If Ba Mudala is saying he is alergic to corruption what the hell is this kind of behaviour? I smell a big rat here, either MCS has his hands tainted or he is allergic to certain types of corruption. The behaviour by winter (george Kunda incarnate) is appaling and not befitting of any lawyer worth his salt.
    Lets wait and see as Trafiguragate unfolds.

  49. PF are small Brains i think we made a trouble mistake to chose PF maybe HH WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER, you see electing a grade 7 to be president what a country am living inn i wasted my vote?

  50. Mr. Kabimba on the question why WE the ‘civil society’ are vocal about the matter and demand you apologize is because we elected this admin you are a part of and therefore you answer to US. We feel you acted like a spoiled brat, very undignified and incredulous. Secondly the likely reason the ACC has not demanded an apology from you is because, in spite of their legal mandate, they are a muzzled entity that answer to mr. Sata, an unfortunate hinderance to justice and rule of law. The fact that you seem to justify your actions in a irrational manner speaks of just how delusion your ethic is; you lack credibility. I agree that the ACC should conduct investigations in secret to protect their investigation and the subject of their investigation, watch a James bond movie for examples of this.

  51. Mr Kabimba, you are a great leader. you know whats wrong and whats right. You are our present day Hero. Many shall live to remember just how bold and determined a minister you have been. please dont listen to most of the comments from these disgruntled useless bloggers. Only a dunderhead and shallow-minded scallywag can listen to useless bloggers like Barbed wire. WINTER GOD HAS ORDAINED YOU AS OUR LEADER. WE LOVE YOU ba HONOURABLE.

    • Clearly, your support for this man and others like him reflects on your principles; those who turn a blind eye to the actions of Mr. Kabimba and justifies it with religion is misguided
      and hypocritical. Such behaviour are retrogressive, unprofessional and undignified to put it mildly. You are free to choose with whom your support lies but that will not deter others who are more level headed to condemn actions such as Kabimba’s and demand accountability and honesty in leadership.

    • Vodoo you are very rude. I know people claim everybody is entitiled to their opinion; but then again, a Child can have the opinion of not wanting to go to school and its for the adult to correct the child and make him go. we all know who the child is in this example. let me ask you 3 questions. 1. If Wynter fell sick would you expect him to go to UTH or Chawama clinic? of course not, he is a leader; Millpark Clinic. 2. Just because you drive a bajaj should Wynter drive a bajaj? No, he needs a luxurious ToyotaLandcruiser GX. He is Minister, State Counsel and Party Secretart General. 3. If ACC calls Vodoo, should he be treated the same way we treat an elegant, learned, top leader??? No Vodoo. You are just choking with envy. Shame on you

  52. OMG!! 84 Blessings blogger might be Kabimba himself…. I wait for a press conference by this PF president..we are in the second year we and our president should answer some questions from the local and international press about now …Let him explain this behavior. Mr W.Blessings Kabimba. you will need the blessings one day.

  53. “Mr. Kabimba has also stressed that ACC has not demanded for an apology from him over his conduct wondering why the civil society seems to be too vocal on the matter.”

    What an arrogant BASTARD this one is. I mean, how dare he goes on record and utter such foolishness?

    I wish I were the ACC director. I would make sure I stand my ground on this corruption investigation even if it cost me my job.

    Kabimba has the nerve to taunt the ACC? And his boss, the chief chimbwi himself says, ACC needs permission to interview these idyats?
    God bless Zambia!

    • The Protestants are probably not egexgarating their convert counts. They are merely counting a different phenomenon than Catholics do when reporting converts. For example, Protestant missionaries in one organization I am familiar with will go to a foreign city for two or three weeks, share about Christ, lead someone in a prayer to accept Christ, and count that as a conversion. Since Once saved, always saved is their belief, this makes sense within their worldview. (How many stick with it is another question).The Foursquare Church teaches Once saved, always saved. I noticed Jack Hayford, the well-known Foursquare pastor, prominently featured on the Vortex video. I have met Jack Hayford, observed his ministry, and visited his church several times; he is kind, intelligent, courteous,…

  54. #88. i am not him. i am just a someone who was brought up to respect my leaders Hebrews 13 v 17. a Press conference is a waste of time. that time is better spent developing roads, hospitals and improving the lives of many zambians as you have noticed the past 1 year. PF loves the people and the people made a wise choice.

  55. Hi Vodoo yo. I know people claim everybody is entitiled to their opinion; but then again, a Child can have the opinion of not wanting to go to school and its for the adult to correct the child and make him go. we all know who the child is in this example. let me ask you 3 questions. 1. If Wynter fell very sick would you expect him to go to UTH or Kanyama clinic? of course not, he is a leader; Millpark Clinic. 2. Just because you drive a bajaj should Wynter drive a bajaj? No, he needs a luxurious ToyotaLandcruiser GX. He is Minister, State Counsel and Party Secretart General. 3. If ACC calls Vodoo, should he be treated the same way we treat an elegant, learned, top leader??? No Vodoo. You are just choking with envy. Shame on you

    • In simple terms, allow me to respond to your little tantrum:
      1. if he fell ill, I would expect him to get medical treatment, regardless of what health facility he choses to go.
      2. for a 3rd world country, a gov. official should drive in a vehicle that is reliable, reasonably priced and affordable to maintain.
      3. getting a degree, being a gov. official does not make him above the law, nor should a man elevated to these positions act in a manner that tarnishes the credibility of his office. 
      Jealousy does not come into play; it’s mere common sense, which you clearly lack, rule of law, and professional conduct, neither of which Kabimba displays. If your understanding of the word ‘elegant’ can be made in observation of his conduct, then you mate are absolutely inept to say the least. 

  56. It appears Kabimba has not reflected on his ill behaviour and expects ACC to have to ask him for an apology.

    But we all know ACC are now NOT in a position to ask for the apology as they have been subjects of intimidation from Ukwa just today.

  57. more to come. we made a mistake. we thought they are angels and even created sequence of our leaders; david, jacob, levy and…….. that was the mistake

  58. Voodoo and Beleg. what rule of law are you talkibg about?? wynter is custodian of the law. just like a judge, wynter must be insulated from redicule. do you have fuel? yes, so what is the problem?? maybe let me be a bit more simplistic to allow for you to understand; can a prefect punish a teacher?? not at all. last time I met wynter he looked very humble and was caring enough to great us common people. get to know Wynter bane, get to know him. he in fact has a warmer character than Obama. Laslty, being a Friday, I expect better behaviour from you 2 boys. 

  59. this is the reason we want judicial reforms, so that we only have judges who will shield PF. is there a difference between andrew banda’s case and that of kabimba? please leave RB alone, he did far much better especially in agric, economy, infrastructure development eg lusaka stadia, schools, new unversity under construction. hospitals and he is the only presdo who has brought CT scanners at both UTH and lusaka hospital. IF RB has stolen then why are you not investigating him….?

  60. You seriously think your analogy of prefect and teacher as similar to this mans abhorrent behavior? Your attempt to ‘simplify it’ only serves to magnify ignorance on your part. You seem to be awe struck in your meeting of him and the impression he left on you. People like him tend to pick instances were they appear of sound character; Ted Bundy was quite charming but we all know how that ended ,look him up. Wynter must be the custodian of the law; yet he rapes it to suit him. He is subject to the saying of the law of Zambia; he mocks it. People follow the likes of him blindly, because they do not understand the law. It’s sad but it also but your ignorance of this fact is inexcusable ‘Blessings. 

  61. I don’t see why not, if you’re good at it. But you’d have to make your own, and not use the youtubers ccerahtars or whatever they make. (ofc if it’s something generic like paper cranes that’s fine)As long as there are people to buy them.Sites like etsy have people selling their handmade goods, maybe you can use that.
