Opposition ABZ has praised Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) Chairperson Irene Mambilima’s courage to challenged acting republic president and Justice Minister Wynter Kabimba to explain his recent revelation that he allegedly smuggled Kenyans into Zambia to help the ruling Patriotic Front (PF) with Parallel Vote Tabulation (PVT) during the 2011 general elections.

ABZ president Frank Bwalya has observed that the Justice Mambilima’s boldness is the most courageous statement he has ever heard since country’s reverting to multi-party democracy in 1991.

Fr. Bwalya says the statement by Justice Mambilima to ask Mr. Kabimba to explain his recent revelation that he alleged smuggling of Kenyans into Zambia has distinguished her as the most independent thinking person among those working in our vital state institutions in the country.

He has told Qfm news in statement that he also thinks that Justice Mambilima’s courage over the same matter has also made her stand out as a fearless professional who upholds the rule of law and good governance in general.

The ABZ president says this especially that he knows that the Inspector General of Police and the Director General of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) besides the speaker of the National Assembly have allegedly not shown the spine to challenge Mr. Kabimba in the manner she has done.

He says her boldness makes has made him convinced that she is prepared to lose her job for standing up for the truth and common sense.

Fr. Bwalya further notes that his prayer is that Zambians will support professional people like Justice Mambilima who are ready to sacrifice personal gain to speak for the people and advance justice in the country.

  1. Very courageous indeed Justice Mambilima. If Zambia can have more Zambia more uncompromised public office bearers like you, we would be heading in the right direction.

    • This woman is courageous to take on the powerful Kabimba to explains his comments which boarders on criminality- He has already confessed- But knowing the Mr Know it all- he will threaten the poor woman.

  2. She is just covering up non of the top professionals in Zambia has ever and can ever stand up against a political leader and say sir you are wrong and am taking you to the courts of law for that. Maybe on in Malawi we witnessed that some months ago but in Zambia kaya. Talk of the chief justice, speaker of the national assembly, anti corruption commission boss, attorney general, auditor general tries but all reports are for academic purposes, director of public prosecution now for public persecution, even small bosses in institutions such as Zesco, ZCCM, RATSA cannot stand against a politician even the Kariba dam is failing a politician would challenge to say its stable and he would do that.

  3. Its a country under political mutterers since independence, when professionals are given chance to make advice its their personal benefits first e.g the privatisation saga oops, the ZRA issues though this one may not be true.

    Its like in Zambia we are better off being ruled by Bazungu, lets try to call them back and we become servants. What about that?
