FDD RESPONDS TO CHISHIMBA KAMBWILI

As the Forum for Democracy and Development (FDD) we want to reiterate President Edith Nawakwi’s sentiments that His Excellency President Edgar Chagwa Lungu lacks the competence and physical well- being to effectively run government and salvage our falling economy.

The Bible states that a leader is as strong as those surrounding him. The wise say ‘show me your friends and I will tell you what kind of a person you are’. Surely what does it say of Edgar Lungu’s character if he can choose functional illiterates like Chishimba Kambwili as his Minister?

Chishimba kambwili says that Edgar Lungu’s victory in the 20th January,2015 Presidential election is a testimony of lungu’s competence.

We want to remind Kambwili that leadership is not just about wining elections. Leadership is about solving people’s problems. Leadership is about securing the future of the nation. There is more to politics other than just wining elections. No wonder PF would go to any length including violence, thuggery and corruption to win an election because to them all that matters is power. Power to amass wealth at the expense of the suffering masses.

Kambwili says that Edgar Lungu is on track and on schedule to developing this country, Surely what development is Edgar Lungu and his PF bringing when the economy is on its knees? What development is Kambwili talking about when the Kwacha has collapsed to K7.4 per Dollar? What development is Kambwili talking about when 65% of our people cannot afford three meals a day? What development is Kambwili talking about when 45 % of our under five children are languishing in malnutrition? What development is Kambwili talking about when millions of our youths have no jobs ? What is development when 70% of our people have no access to clean water and sanitation? What is development when the government has imposed a two year wage freeze and a two year employment freeze? What is development when our clinics have no essential drugs? What is development when thousands of students with ‘A’s are chased from the doors of our universities due to lack of school fees? What is development when our country is back on the altar of debt?

It is common knowledge that this country is broke. We are living on Kaloba. Even most of the road projects Kambwili wants to boast about have stalled due to lack of funds to finish them.

Is Kambwili and his PF government not ashamed that we had to evacuate President Edgar Lungu to South Africa for treatment for low sugar because as a country we don’t have simple gadgets like a glucometre to measure sugar levels?

We all know that President Lungu is unwell. Please don’t prematurely send him to the grave the way you did to late President Micheal Sata. You kept on pushing Mr. Sata to hold on to the Presidency even when his body could not take it anymore just for you and your likes to hold on to your ministerial jobs. Mulebako noluse. Ba Edgar Lungu balikwata ulupwa nabana. They still need him. Let the man rest for a little while.

It is laughable that Kambwili , a government Minister can accuse Ms. Nawakwi of posturing as an economist when President Nawakwi’s academic credentials are right in public domain. Ms. Nawakwi did not serve this country as Finance Minister. Go to the Public Service Commission and check her CV or use simply google

Mr. Kambwili should know that the job of the Minister of Information is not to just carelessly react to statements without even first understanding what someone is saying. Let Mr. Kambwili go to ZANIS and learn his job description.

How can a government Minister reduce himself to a judge of a Beauty Contest. How low can one get as to call Hon. Mutale Nalumango ugly instead of addressing the points she was raising?

President Nawakwi is correct when she says President Lungu cannot be President, Minister of Defense, Minister of Finance and Minister of Energy all at once.

The President has to be smart enough to choose a team of competent women and men to assist him.

The issues Madam Nawakwi has raised are economical and constitutional and should not be dealt with in a cipante pante fashion.

Let President Lungu and his government restructure the Ministry of Finance from up-bottom; split the Ministry of Mines and Energy; sit down and negotiate with the mines over the tax impasse and deal with the economic quagmire.

  1. Sosa Sosa boyi Tony! He is the reason why I am not in RSA! Glad EL listened kuli Ba Chikwanda otherwise I would in Malaysia. I will call you soon boyi.

    • Well done FDD and UPND for professional approaches when debating BIG issues affecting the Zambian people. Things are no longer going on well in Zambia in terms of the economy and governance and we cannot remain mute just to please a few individuals. WAKE ZAMBIA!

    • #prayforzambia

      Lord close the oppositions mouths and open their minds. Fill their heart with love of country not hate of Government

    • Meanwhile,we need an explanation from Nawakwi on how Zambia paid more than $4m for maize which was not delivered under the Carlington maize deal when she was Minister of Agriculture,Food & Fisheries and why millions of dollars where transferred to the Zamtrop account at ZANACO bank in London when she was Minister of Finance. We want the govnt to recover money that was paid under the Carlington maize deal.

    • AT LEAST HE IS “FUNCTIONAL” OR OPERATIONAL & WORKING AS U DESCRIBED, THAT’S THE KIND WE NEED. MANY SO-CALLED WISE AND LITERATE ARE UNFUNCTIONAL, INOPERATIVE. OTHERS EVEN SAYING ‘THEY’LL DIE WITH THEIR IDEAS’. THUMBS UP MR KAMBWILI!! YOU’RE HARD-WORKING

    • Obviously things are not well in Zambia. One wonders whether the pf supporters loyalty is to an individual tribes mate, for personal gain or just plain stup!dity. The issues being raised by the opposition are genuine and any smart government would sincerely assure the masses on how they are or intend to address the situation. It is wisdom to not come out here and attack your critics when you know too well your party has led this country to mess. We all know very well that you just don’t collapse unless your are either pregnant, very sick or very old.

  2. no wonder this fdd party is run by a husband snatcher. they cant even think through what they are vomiting. Is there anything wrong with kambwili giving highlights of grz day to day status report on how its handling national affairs. Does it have to pliz toddler mwanza and his namakwenkwe president. Whats this load of dung about edgar’s sicknes. Every country experiences dip in economy.

    • Tony whatever,

      Hambulo is Tonga. No woman can snatch a Tonga man from his wife. She just got added to the line as is the tradition in Tonga land.

      Stop blaming Edith.

      If Hambulo did not marry Edith, he would married another woman. Because she married Edith, a politician, mwalasabaila. Shut the f-k up!

  3. toddler mwanza doesn’t even know husband snatcher nawakwi was once finance minister. Opening your mouth loosely as a toddler is bad.

    • Typical PF supporter, discuss issues and not personalities, what can you say about the French president if he was a Zambian president. He became president when he was living with his girl friend, went to see a second girl friend in the middle of the night leaving the other one at home and the French people did not make a meal out of this because its a personal matter. All the French people are care about is his performance as president. That is why Africa is behind because you are preoccupied with things that do not matter and give a blind eye to the issues that affect you

  4. Ba Mwanza and FDD, you are the same people who lamented loudly when HE ECL wanted to splint Min of mines and energy. Now what are you escalating? Are you being honest surely? Say Yes when it is due. Ba Mwanza, you just sucking the milk from the poor Nawakwi’s dry breasts. She has no money that lady, you want her to close Shambulos business poultry farms? Be real na imwe. And you were celebrating of getting third position of 15,000 votes? Come on Mwanza!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • @ chitutuma.

      Bro you have no morals. Learn to thing with your heart not ass.
      You must learn to respect women. You must be the kind that treats women like dirt.

      Nawakwi is a woman of substance. Surely getting to undress her in your dirt comments is disgusting.

      How would you feel if what you just wrote would be said of you mum??

      Guys lets not cross the line.

  5. What kind of political party leadership is Nawakwi providing in Zambia- always insulting President Lungu, insulting other leaders, especially male leaders. Has Nawakwi got serious and unique angst against men, generally, or could the reason be embedded in her historical environment?

    • Your so-called male leaders are just ifipuba. Every time they open their mouths, it’s rubbish that comes out. Chimbwili should wash his mouth and reduce on his unwashed monkey body odour.

  6. Mwanza and Nawaki plus FDD maybe bad things, and say such sensible things, then these bad things(Mwanza, Nawakwi and FDD) are good things. Its 10 – 0 against PF vodgar drunkards judging from the way they try to down grade Antonio’s statement! Most PFs think that winning an election is enough!

  7. “The President has to be smart enough to choose a team of competent women and men to assist him.”

    In so far, no smartness from that end.

  8. @Ichalo Lifupa, Nubian Princess, Change, Tony Blair, Sugar Coated, Moyes, Chitutuma: YOUR COMMENTS CLEARLY EXPLAIN WHY THE COUNTRY HAS SOCIALLY, ECONOMICALLY AND POLITICALLY COLLAPSED. BECAUSE OF YOUR POLITICS OF THE BELLY AND SELFISHNESS YOUR MINDS ARE BLINDED TO REASON AND SENSIBLE THINKING. ALL THAT MATTERS TO YOU IS TEMPORARY IMMEDIATE BENEFITS. YOU ARE LIKE A FOOLISH MARRIED PERSON RECKLESSLY COMMITTING ADULTARY WITH AN AIDS INFECTED PERSON FOR IMMENDIATE SENSIAL PLEASURE WITHOUT CARING FOR THE EFFECT ON THE SPOUSE AND OTHER MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY.
    YOUR COMMENTS EXHIBIT IMMATURITY, IRRESPONSIBILITY AND LACK OF LOVE FOR THE COUNTRY AND YOUR FELLOW COMPATRIOTS AND IN A WAY FOR YOURSELVES AND YOUR NEXT OF KINS BECAUSE THE EFFECTS OF THE PF POOR LEADERSHIP WILL SPARE NO ONE.

    • @9Mano Mambulwa,
      why are you accussing me of not loving our mother Zambia when all I did was to demand an explanation from Nawakwi on why the Ministry of Agriculture,Food and Fisheries paid more than $4m for maize that was not supplied when she was the Minister in charge of this ministry? She aint a sait as FDD is trying to potray her. She was part and parcel of the MMD that destroyed our economy by privatising mines and had we still maintained ownership of the mines the dollar wouldn’t have been as bad as it is.

  9. Thats the only bad thing about politics, you even get insulted by bit..ches like nawakwi who rose to the position of minister through her skirt. As if that was not enough she went and snatch an innocent womans husband. If you ask her now she cant even remember how many men have bonked her thats why she cant respect them because she knows she can hundle even 100 of them in a day. Just emagine thesize of the h… she has ” extra large”. Mwanza is the one who is leaking it so he can put food on the table

    • @namulabe You are disgusting . Did your mother ever taught you how to behave? Or you come from a distinction family?

    • @ Namulambe if only you knew that your mother is a woman just like Nawakwi, wonder what your mother would make of you if she saw what you have written on here.
      We are defined by the things we do in private.

  10. Running commentary is not the core business of political parties in a democractic multiparty system. The posture of FDD to castigate, abuse, rebuke, scold government officials publically using media outlets is in bad taste. Party politics is about ideological battles. Party politics about national policies. Party politics is about international politics. Party politics is about national development.

  11. Well done FDD. Keep providing checks and balances. Your arguments and comments are spot on. You may not form govt now, but your contributions are so valuable.
    Zambia is not Lusaka only. Majority are living in poverty in rural areas.
    Worse with the poor harvest expected this year.

    Kambwili suffers from diarrhea verbal (Maladi ya tuba tuba)

  12. Antonio LI THole. The boy doesnt know that NAmakwenke was Minister responsible for Finance National Planning and Economic Development……. Kapuba sana Ka Antonio…..atase Fuseki

  13. What do you expect from such a chimpanzee as Kambwil which has been shagging its sister in law…that gal now married in Kabwe and busy lying about her pregnancy, which is Kambwili’s…Copperstone Universiy mediocre graduate…that’s Kambwili!

  14. l like the term “functional illiterate”- a person who can’t read and write but functions in the wrong way. True indeed about him. Last time I knew him in Chingola he was musician who played folk music for booze. Now he is a Minister thanks to one MCS the late and a graduate, thanks to Copperstone University but still spews “n……se”.Copperstone alumni watch this character he is tainting you with mediocrity!!

  15. This guy should have run his speech through some proofreading and perhaps even engaged a soothsayer. It is as erroneous as it is paradoxical.

  16. Reversed roles? He should be investigating ill-talk but he is the ill-talker. Then he is not worth holding that portfolio. Constitutionally, ministers should be non politicians, learned people of integrity and thoroughly vetted. He deserves to give a public apology as he awaits the president jet back from Namibia to relieve him of his duties. This man will remain a thorn in flesh in Lungu’s goverment.The soonere he is sacked, the better. A narrow mind goes along with a wide mouth.

  17. If Ba ECL were to listen for once…..this Kambwili is a wrong a wrong character for the ministry of Info. Just give the ministry of Defence were he will keep quite because there is no war in Zambia and there he can not push the Generals cos they can sort him out. The level of thinking for Kambwili is very low in terms of intellect. But it looks like we shall be stuck with this Kambwili(Hoe) .

  18. Edith Nawakwi has five kids from 5 different men and has the cheek to quote the bible ati “Show me your friend and……. Who in his right mind can take Nawakwi seriously and how many MPs has her party got? I really can not see any difference between her and Cosmos Mumba.Maybe she can turn her party into an NGO to support kids from broken homes.Five different men could not marry her but gave her kids surely speaks volumes

    • Check the author of this article. Its not Edith Nawakwi. So your point is invalid. Its not Edith who has quoted the bible here. Poor thing. U re also a functional illiterate

  19. Does Edith Nawakwi realistically think that she will ever be President of Zambia?

    Still living in la la land Edith, I suppose you have to keep up the pretence that you will be President after the 2016 elections. Edith stands more chance of scoring the winning goal for Zambia at the next World Cup finals.

  20. Ba Edith we are not as stupid as you are, remember how you missused our money with your late boyfreind Kafupi, somehow Zambia is what it is because of *****s like you. Get a life, we,ve tried you before and you are just as useless as Kamvwili. Shut up woman!
