MINISTER of Youth and Sport, Chishimba Kambwili,

Outspoken Sports Minister Chishimba Kambwili has vehemently denied reports of attempting to cause chaos in a cabinet meeting over the transfer of power from Defence Minister Hon. Edgar Lungu to Vice President Dr. Guy Scott.

In the latest episode of the intense jostling for the vacancy at State House, Kambwili now says the statement attributed to him was false and aimed at discrediting him.

Kambwili is alleged to have said Attorney General Musa Mwenye should be arrested for forcing cabinet to handle over the instruments of power from then Acting President Edgar Lungu to the Vice-President.

“I arrived yesterday back in the country from national duty, I have been in my home ever since but I am now being accused of making statements to party cadres. I would like to categorically deny any involvement with regards to these allegations.

I have not commented on the installation of His Excellence Guy Scott so anything you read is a white lie and is aimed and discrediting me.” Kambwili said.

  1. Now you are talking Kambwili ! I couldn’t have forgiven you for passing such a statement at this solemn moment. We will take up that issue after we bury the king, no wonder people like me have even taken a break from blogging as a sign of respect to the mighty Cobra. MHSRIP

    • First we do isambo lyamfwa. Nostradamus and Ndobo where are you at ? Lets go to the funeral guys. Ubwalwa bwa pachililo nkasova.

    • QUESTIONS FOR PF BEFORE ELECTING NEW PRESIDENT.
      1. Why did PF Don’t Kubeba us about Mr. Sata’s health and what guarantee do we have that they won’t lie to us again? Some people have to account for this….
      2. Why do you (PF) allow your cadres to misbehave and disturb our peace?
      3. Was the bloated cabinet under MMD reduced as promised? This is partly the reason for the high debt we have now accrued due to limited revenue thereby enslaving future generations.
      4. Constitutional reforms promised in 90 days, how far?
      5. Where are the jobs and more money in our pockets with this wage and employment freeze?
      6. Why allow the vendors to litter our streets?
      7. Charges and harassment of opposition political party leaders and people with divergent views, how and why?
      8. The

    • 8. The unnecessary by-elections we have experienced, any reason?
      9. Appointment of relatives, cadres and friends without giving every Zambian a chance to aspire for the jobs, are others less Zambian?
      10. Many contracts to companies that have been corrupting you as alleged by Mr. Chikwanda and making the Anti – Corruption Commission toothless but used to settle scores, just explain?
      11. Why have you not pursued our money borrowed from DBZ to be paid back by the people that operated Zambian Airways? You know them…
      12. The Late Mr. Sata told us you are useless, how useful can you be now?
      13. Why do you (PF) like Don’t Kubebering us most of the time? Any new promises to tell us during the campaigns?

    • If it is true he has passed on , I would like one of the folloiwng to take over

      1) Mulenga Sata

      2) Kambwili

      3) Guy Scott

      4) Lubinda

      Any of these all of us on LT will be happy

      Thanks

    • The Zambian watchdog have started their cheap politics again. Amazing how they can fabricate lies like these.

    • @Saulosi, mwachuleni we mwaume. We wondered what happened to you the day the king died.
      So you were with Kambwili on national duty?
      I will defend Kambwili this time around. Kambwili loved Ba Sata, he will rather burry him first before he can start “nonsense”.

    • @Saulosi, we have been waiting for you all since Wednesday. Mwali ku ma arrangements?
      Which side will do be at funeral home, I suggest ku east, its easier to find you. Not ukuli abena Edgar, too much security.

    • @Nostradamus
      Ku group yabena Edgar ekuli na booze sana since he is part of hardcore liquor lovers. It is nice because me personally i will be taking advantage of these easterners. They have to be doing things for us since they are our mbuya`s, even though they are threatening to smear us with white powder in the spirit of tribal cousinship. The Mmembe and Kabimba camp too much ama cheeky.

    • Are these the brains SATA could find for Zambia surely. where there any better? was he just too lazy to find better brains all this is all Zambia could offer him.

      this is what happens when a man is too drunk with the need for power that he cares less about what he will give to his country but more on what he will get.

      Zambians never voted for the PF team but for a man and did not reason that should SATA die he did not have a team to carry the country forward. the song plays on and on “inga SATA taliko Bonse aba nibangwele” and now SATA talipo so BONSE ABA NI BANGWELE. and kambwili is the biggest BANGWELE.

      the question lingers how did ba SATA choose his cabinet. SATA was never serious, this was just a JOKE to him.

    • Kambwili should wait until Sata is buried before making any move against Scott.

      There is a legal loop hole which the PF MPs can use to get rid of Guy Scott. They simply need to pass a vote of no confidence through Parley, and impeach Guy scott. PF Mps have numbers on their side, and they can remove Scott with out a problem at all.

      Impeaching Guy Scott via parley is the easiest thing PF can do because Guy Scott is not an elected PF president nor am elected president of the country.

      Once he is removed by parley, then the PF cabinet can seat and decide who to be the care taker until the elections. But it will be wise to get a person who they can start selling now before the election date is announced.

      Kambwili , if you don’t Mmembe ‘s cartel to take over again, use parley.

  2. If you can learn to talk less and listen more Kambwili, no one would be accusing you, even if you actually uttered those words or not.

  3. Nokulanda-landa kwine ba Kambili, kuti bamibepesha pa last.
    After all we all believe you’re capable of producing such statements. Ngabalanda ati Given Lubinda ewalandile Kuti twatwishika, nomba imwe nangu bamibepeshafye teti tukane.
    Good that you have cleared the air sorounding your allegations.

    • That or someone has actually told him the consequences of threatening to over throw the interim president by unconstitutional means – treason – no bail and if convicted farewell forever. I am sure he would rather ride the process and throw his hat in for the real prize, nomination for the presidential bye election. How disgusting of PF to behave as they are following the dath of their president. They could not even wait to see him buried with dignity before they lead the way in acting like vultures shame on the entire PF – may you soon ( after the 90 days has passed) be voted out of office and may your stay in the wilderness be long.

  4. I have not commented on the installation of His Excellence Guy Scott so anything you read is a white lie and is aimed and discrediting me.” Kambwili said.Surely we all know that the late president Mr. Sata stopped functioning as a president many months ago due to the serious nature of his illness and the instrument of power was with his excellence Dr. Guy Scott. The cabinet knew about this and that is why they accepted to have the former VP to take over as the president. It the same reason Edgar Lungu accepted to hand over power to Dr.G Scott.

  5. Hon kambwili and zambians there is sata’s truth and the percvd regal truth. All the same lungu is the next president. to those who want ministers from their regions lets suport PF. the idea of appoing those who did not vote for PF is long gone

  6. Ba kambwili, suddenly u r scared, that mouth if urs shall truly have u dropped when we elect president Scott as republican president. U will take him to court a thousand times, but he will still win.

  7. KAMBWILI.
    WE KNOW THAT YOU ARE PART OF THE ORGANIZERS OF YESTERDAY’S PROTESTERS.
    YOU WERE SUPPOSE TO MAKE A FOLLOW UP ON THE EDGAR LUNGU ISSUE HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR GUY SCOTT CANCELLING THAT CABINET MEETING.

  8. cause chaos in a cabinet meeting? Thats being a threat to national security (treason punishable by death). Lets mourn the president please and stop embarrassing ourselves.

  9. Ref:-
    Money is the root to all evil, and that’s the case here (even our own spiritual leaders are showing off the wealth they are given by their congregation saying God has blessed me). Who stands to gain from all this?
    1- The people who have being looting this country since independence. And no my friends am not talking about mining companies
    2- The most corrupt politicians, the loudest
    3- The people who run this world, divide and conquer no military is needed common tactic being used in the middle east. (Zambia has probably the largest reserves of copper, cobalt, rare earth earth elements. I think we have just discovered oil which should come as no surprise (great rift valley)
    If we flop, our children and the world will hold this generation responsible for holding this country back

  10. I hope we will at least wake up from our docitlity and use our brains this time in 90 days…not vote in incompetent deadwood the likes of Sata and histeam of empty tins like this BUFFOON Chisimba who shouldn’t be let anywhere near a ministry building.

    • You saying that whilst you are in the diaspora. Go home and vote! You should also go home and influence local politics and not just being an arm chair critic or hiding behind these blogs. Stop being docile by coming out in the open.

  11. Ladies and gentlemen you fail to read the fine line. This man maybe a bully but he is not dumb. Did you miss the quote WHITE LIE. I’m 100% sure he told the cadres everything that was quoted. He has to fight for the weakest African man on earth, Lungu. Given the instruments of power in a silver platter plus defense minister yet he allowed an incompetent AG to force him to hand over power. He was given those powers for a reason not just for show. This kabwili will get arrested which is a badge of honor before moving to the state house.

    • Kambwili has been given the easiest ministry, and tell me what his achievements are. He has been stuck there because there is no any other ministry where he can serve. I pity you and zambia if you think Kambwili is presidential material. He is a hooligan who uses bullying to indimidate his opponents and get things his way. We need civilised people in leadership. Kambwili has no credantials to be in any cabinet. He can deny that but we all know he can organise his fellow cadres through someone else.

  12. Edgar Lungu is the next President, whatever happens in the next 3 months under Scott will be interesting but rest assured PF is still winning the next elections under Lungu.

  13. Lungu maybe a gentleman but he does not have the spine to be president. Politics has laws of the jungle, no room for the weak. Why do you think Scott cancelled the cabinet meeting? Simple, he is scared of kabwili and company. They are a formidable group and they smell blood and trust me they will not be denied. This is Africa.

    • 100 PERCENT with you. You also need tact, strategy, steel nerves as the constitution can not provide all the protection you need. With Guy scott in charge it will give them a chance. Edgar was deputy GS of PF, one would expect him to know what was happening when Kabimba was in charge. If he did not see anything wrong or was scared to be intimidated by Kabimba then he has no principles and fails the leadership test. Not that he should have confronted Kabimba but should been in a position to tell the party leaderhip that he was not confortable with what his boss was doing and giving his reasons. Vision was missing in Lungu. He needs time to mature to become president. For now he is not yet there thats my view. Any one?

  14. Oh, no! Please be serious for once. Why always tribal in your comments? the next president will be decided by vote not by these tribal bloggers. I suggest we hunt the online tribalists and find them wherever they are hiding and kill them!

  15. Oh, no! Please be serious for once. Why always tribal in your comments? the next president will be decided by vote not by these tribal bloggers.

  16. Guy Scot is only acting in accordance with the constitution. Edgar Lungu I a qualified lawyer and he understands very well. In fact the cabinet sat and agreef to appoint Scott. And it is only for 3 months, what is yo problem?

  17. I wouldn’t put it past Chidumbo to say such Stoopid stuff but I know he was nt in Lusaka the past 6 days so I will swallow his statement without a pinch of salt
    By the way you guys who call this thug Honourable are you serious? Or you re just humouring him?

  18. I was at Washington Dulles International Airport waiting for a connection to Atlanta when someone from Zambia started talking in a Zambian language on how one online newspaper was doing a good job in destroying a certain tribe chances of winning the 2011 elections. Am sure he didn’t realize that there was a Zambian in the crowd. Am a proud Zambian and I have made sure I know all the main languages and dialects in the country. As such it made me very sad to hear the remarks from this gentleman.

  19. Those against Scott acting are basically in two groups. The first group is those within PF who feel he(Scott) is in another faction, other than the one they belong to (Kabimba vs the rest). The second group comprises guys like Miyanda who largely have had very meagre political fortunes hitherto and now want to show their relevance and some misdirected and mischievous elements of society. What they all need to know is we need a smooth transtion. Any confusion might just derail the process and it won’t be in the interest of the country. Leave Scott to act and to the PF sort out your power struggle within your party without disturbing state house.

  20. @ Gono, the consitution does not say if one has the instruments of power then he continues acting. It’s not about how you feel and who you support but a matter of following the constitution. One would think all the bloggers have at least a minimum of G12 education or am I wrong in making that assumption?

  21. I make no secret I am pro PF I supported HEMCS and prayed for his recovery while the likes of wanzelu, cjay, ndobo were writing insults and indirectly wishing death. Whatever happens Kabwili should not be given a chance in hell of being President. This is Africa yes but its also Zambia where reason more often prevails, Lungu must lead!

  22. Chi Kambwili ukulandalanda. Chibwatbwata fye. Who does kamwili think will vote for him? Some of the Ministers in PF are not even worth it. They were voted for simply because people wanted change and they happen to be on the PF ticket.

  23. Cartel whatever bmail tactics u used on HEMCS have pushed him to the other side. Just keep in mind that someone is watching and your day will surely come.#MatterOfAnalysis.

  24. Chi kabwili and crew may not get elected to the highest office directly but they sure are going to be the puppet masters. Zambia is a very peaceful country but right now it’s a very vulnerable country. In ancient times the country would have been invaded by another stronger country. It would be naive to underestimate the cbelt crew. They have the muscle and the cash to get winning price. They just need a good slogan for the masses to catch on and they are home free. Please don’t give me the constitution spin because it can be amended. Kafupi amended it to suit his needs to bar kk from ever running again I’m surprised he stopped at parents as I thought he would go further to grand parents.

  25. Wait Kambwili, when Bana Nono made ‘You Tube’ film on Si……..rantings on Sata’s near death period, Si…..was rattled almost committed murder. The beginning of the fall is always dreadful moment to bear.
