GBM and HH are cheap crooks who love money-Kambwili

Share

Chishimba Kambwili

Chief Government spokesperson Chishimba Kambwili has maintained that the Patriotic Front was still the most popular political party countrywide amid claims that it has lost popularity to the United Party for National Development UPND.

And Mr. Kambwili has charged that it was very dangerous for Zambians to entrust UPND president Hakainde Hichilema and his vice Geoffrey Mwamba with national leadership as the duo were cheap crooks who loved money.

Mr. Kambwili said failure by the UPND to hold Public meetings on the Copperbelt were it party President and his vice were on a campaign trail, proved that the party was not popular on the Copperbelt.

He alleged that the party despite being granted permission to hold two public meeting in Luanshya yesterday failed to mobilise support due to their unpopularity and ended up going into markets, greeting people who were not responsive.

“GBM and his newly founded friend HH are living in denial as they have failed to accept that the UPND was only a small, regional and tribal party that has failed to cross the Kafue River. The UPND has in the recent past lost Chisanga, they lost Sichinga and also Kapita wards who all cited tribalism as their reasons for leaving the party” Kambwili said.

He added that HH will receive a shock of his life come 2016 elections and would end up retiring from active politics as he losses the 2016 elections yet again.

He also explained that GBM’s law suit against the speaker of the national assembly was yet more evidence that he has lost popularity even in his former constituency as it shows that he was scared of facing the election.

“In politics you test your popularity by way of election and the law suit was just an act of cheap politicking and a mere abuse of the legal process because my brother GBM knows that he can’t pass through if he challenged Kasama central, he will fail lamentably “he added.

He boasted of popularity saying the Pf had touched all areas of human endeavour in their development agenda and that the opposition was merely jealous and trying to take advantage of the few ignorant people.

The chief government spokesperson further assured the nation that there was no looming medicine shortage in the country and that people spreading these false allegations were only politicking.

Kambwili added that people were also taking advantage of the current power deficit that the country was experiencing to gain political mileage.

He added that the problem was not peculiar to Zambia alone it was a regional crisis that had hit the southern region due to climate factors.

The parliamentarian also said the continued upward surge by the dollar against local currencies was yet another area in which the opposition were trying to gain grounds by claiming they can improve the economy.

He said the PF had grown the economy to up to 6.2 and 7 percent in the last two years with the world average economic growth rate standing at 0.2 percent which proves that the economy was stable.

“The issue of the dollar sky rocketing against other currencies was worldwide crisis and not only common to Zambia, even the strongest economy the Chinese mighty Yen had also slacken due to global factors as the dollar had just grown strong. And this can only be addressed by the law of demand and supply through policies to counter the growth of the dollar such as increased exports and that cannot be done immediately it was a long term venture” he observed.

Mr. Kambwili alleged that HH was only cheating the people when he says he can transform the economy when he and his partner were crooks that seek to benefit themselves from every opportunity they get, hence the danger to entrust them with governing the nation.

He charged that GBM loved money as evidenced from his past corruption charges in the ZESCO poles saga where he monopolised the tender and additionally he also monopolised the transportation of maize from FRA.

He also charged that HH also takes advantage of situations to make personal money out of every business he gets, citing that he benefited from the privatisation of Luanshya copper mines as well as Sun International hotels were he ended up being board chair.

Mr. Kambwili continued that the due loved money above anything else and given a chance to make government, they would steal all the money from the people of Zambia for their personal benefit.

The information minister was speaking to journalist in Luanshya yesterday on the sidelines of the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the local authority and a non- governmental organisation PPHPZ spearheading improving housing facilities for poor people.

  1. Civility in language about your enemies is important bwana kambwili. I also love money more than you possibly do but what happened to the ndola Luanshya rail line Mr CK? My advise is politicians should have respect of each other not this egoistic outbursts.

    • Well spoken Careless Whisper. There is no single person that does not love money, period. God was not stupid to give us 2 ears one 1 mouth, it was for the fact that, he wanted us to listen more and talk less but what has happened is that, Politicians tend to talk more and listen less and that’s where the problem is. Politicians will sugar coat their talk all they want but what is happening on the ground in Zambia is something else. I see a situation where S$%T will SOON hit the fun in Zambia.

    • What an empty, frightened statement from the airhead Kambwili. Change is coming – 2016 and you know it. Stop living in denial!

    • Kambwili is a useless big mouth, that’s all! Only in Zambia can a Minister’s wife work for another Government. His wife is a nurse for NHS which is the Government! Conflict of interest if you ask me!

  2. Comment:Bwana be cival in yo arguments. Learned pipo with civility dont open their mouth unnecessarily. Be reasonable ba Minister.

  3. Of all the people Chimbwili Kashimba must be the last person to point a finger at HH- GBM over love of money. Who does not know how he acquires money? All that live in Copperbelt know him very well. He is a bigger thief than any one else. He Loves money than all of us. Remember while you point at your friends, 3 other fingers point at yourself. Politics just exposes your stu-pidity.

  4. What is cheap here is this statement from our so called Government Spokesman. Is this how our government speaks. There isa more civil way to say these things and not this kaponya way bwana Kakasu.

  5. u shud also knw tht evn pf is not popular az at nw chimbwi chimbwili u r jst gud at fatening yr stiff fat necks.a dollar at k820 exchange rate.

    • 1. Who is a cheap crook between someone who has built a business empire that successive governments (Mwanawasa, RB and Sata) failed to find illegalities vs a rail line thief who also grabbed golf course land and build houses? 2. Take your Copperstone certificate and compare it to HH’s CV go and redo economics 101 so you understand the ZMK to USD relationship 3. You are very right when you say “Pf had touched all areas of human endeavor” but not in the way you think. 4. Zambians are no longer being fooled by your tribal talk gimmick Zambia United. You claim one Zambia one nation but you are still regurgitating tribal hate speach e.g ati not beyond the Kafue river you must really hate Tonga’s if you could you would exterminate them like Hitler did the Jews. 5 I suggest you also revist…

  6. Comment: Empty tins always make the loudest noise. Ati chief govt spokespeson, dont we hv other pipo who can be apointd as CGSperson nt this crop.

  7. Where did you find the money to build that expensive complex of flats in Luanshya? Is continuous borrowing of money for consumption development? Do you ever think about the future generations when carelessly contracting these loans! For you and you fellow Kaponyas, its all about winning elections at whatever cost! Companies country wide are struggling and some shutting down with massive job losses and you call this doing fine and development? Which school did you go to! When you speak know that you are not only addressing PF semi literate cadres!

  8. 1.

  9. CK is the epitome of what’s wrong with PF politics.
    Dr Fundafunda talking about looming shortage of drugs is not a cadre but head of Medical Stores. Dr Kalyalya talking about loadshedding negatively impacting the economy is BOZ governor not cadre. Dr Haabazoka advising PF to learn to plan is not a cadre but an economist eking himself respect among his peers.
    These are people CK should respond to. Chisanga & Sichinga left UPND almost ten years ago. So to keep talking about that just shows how empty ECL’s govt is.

  10. This holier than thou piece of trash doesn’t love money, hope he is going to give up his salary which just a few weeks ago he fought so hard to be increased, how about him giving up fringe benefits, a little Corolla splinter will do him since he is a mother Theresa kind of a person, leave HH and GBM alone they are genuine tax paying businessmen, do jerabos like you pay taxes?

    • This disaster PF clown is the worst kind of dog.

      Kambwili, do you not know that it is GBM and HH taxes that is paying you the huge salary that you get every month.

      Fat dog, you must learn not to bite the hand that feeds you otherwise you will be included when they shoot stray dogs on the Copperbelt

      Styupit idiyot!

  11. Chimbwili just join them you are also acrook who dnt love moey why are there if you don’t love money? late sata was always shouting at you but continue staying in offce

  12. Who voted for this piece of trash? A politician with zero knowledge about Zambian politics, come on Zambians next time improve on the way you vote, this thing you call your minister doesn’t even know the currency of China, is Yuan and Yen similar?

  13. I sense desperation bwana minister. Word on the streets is that HH and GBM received a thunderous welcome in your back yard. You’re going to have to come up with more than that privatisation or zesco pole story to convince the people of Mpatamato to reelection you.

  14. It’s true is agree with you Hon Kambwili HH loves money no wonder he is failing to tell the Zambian people how he accumulated all the riches he has he is a thief he will never rule Zambia

  15. HH and GBM worked hard for their money if they stole then how come they have not been arrested because we all know what happens in Zambia ACC could have been set on them. Kambwili it is you who is a known copper thief a fat ugly thing with no brains at all just wait till GBM hits back at you last time he warned you that he will tell the nation what he knits about you and you went quiet.

  16. Kambwili is always a bitter person who brings in tribal issues each time he is challenged. Upnd has managed to cross the Kafue river on the copperbelt. I wonder which part of kafue river he is talking about.

  17. this fat bastered is a big joke he does not kno how to fate he is trying to say that he does not like money and he does not steal he is stuyped a thief he knoes it him self what he has done in his area

  18. people with money don’t struggle to be a president, they stay away from politics and start enjoying their cash. a wise advise to rich people. Leaders are chosen by God and he will lift the lower to high.

  19. Upnd will remain a tribal party wethear you like or not because 90%of your readership is from one rejoin even g b m is on his way out cause is a northern .That is for you dremas. If hh is a good person let him show as by giving to less prevaligede and if g bm is popular let him go for elections in kasama .

  20. Its sad that our leaders are still promoting tribal based cheap politics. Mr Kambwili as Chief Govt spokesperson should never promote tribal politics, all Zambians are one and equal regardless of tribe or province. Your Excellency, ECL, please bring sanity in the PF as the party in power. Lets all walk the “one zambia one nation” and not just talking about it or using it as campaign strategy on ZNBC. We are tired of this tribal based politics.

  21. KEKEKEKE KAMBWILI IS REALLY FUNNY. TWO DAYS AFTER LUNGU FIRES BLANKS AND WARNING SHOTS REGARDING PARTY MEMBERS THAT ARE ON THE SIDELINES, KAMBWILI COMES OUT SWINGING WITH SUCH A MORONIC STATEMENT. THE TRUTH IS THAT WORD IN THE GRAPEVINE IS LUNGU ALREADY HAS A LIST OF DISGRUNTLED HIGH RANKED MEMBERS OF PF AND THE MANEUVERS TO RID THEM HAVE ALREADY BEGAN. KAMBWILI KNOWS THAT HIS LOYALTY TO LUNGU IS ALREADY IN DOUBT AND HE IS TRYING TO BE A JACKAL AND SURVIVE THE COMING CLEANSING. KAMBWILI HIMSELF KNOWS THAT NOTHING HE SAYS IN THIS STATEMENT MAKES ANY SENSE HE JUST WANTED TO COME OUT SWINGING. SURELY IS THIS STATEMENT SOMETHING A MINISTER WOULD SAY? KEKEKEKEKEKE!

  22. The loudest man in the room is of the lowest rank, never has this phrase been applied to the fullest..days are numbered kabwili, your time to sweep the streets you rule will come, everyone will laugh at you

  23. Comment: GBM& HH ARE RICH BASTARD, who sweated for their wealthy than you benefiting through massive borrowing,awarding govt contracts to yoselves,get out with yo tribal hate,mind u pipo in luanshya received these rich men and expect more defections frm yo Pf,which would fail to adopt u fool,change in zed has come dont raise yo mouth with tribal hate u *****,u’ll be investigated with the source of funds fo those flats u have constructed

  24. This is all just drivel from this crocodile mouth. He needs to be announcing government policies, plans of actions, achievements and because these pathetic failures have nothing much to boost about he resorts to drivel.

  25. What has your HH done in Southern province with his money to show that he has love for the people ? nil.What guarantee is there that if he was given the mandate,then Zambians would benefit ? Kambwili is right and Zambians will never make that mistake.EL for 2016 and beyond !

    • Using his brain and money he has given people employment and is producing the meat you eat what have you and your lot done even with state machinery and public funds? Build housing estates on land grabbed from a golf course and sold rail lines

  26. Generally, most businessmen go into politics to steal more money and enrich themselves through contracts.I would rather trust a lawyer ECL because he understands how a country was supposed to be well governed.In my view PF is still the most preferred Party and they will carry the day in 2016.

    • That is the reason why he stole money from his client? To become president?
      Please switch your brain in “intelligent” mode before shooting yourself in the foot.

  27. GBM left PF because he was not given a position and he wants to try his luck in a wrong Party which is purely tribal.How else will you describe people who always vote on tribal lines despite what any govt could do for them ? Zambians are clever people……yes the money from the two rich men will be chewed but the vote will be for ECL….This is my sincere analysis of the current political trends in the country.

    • Didn’t he resign his defence minister position out of principle? Your ‘sincere’ analysis is in fact out of ignorance &/or self denial! Change your mind set as you are a danger to your own good.

  28. Correction bwana minister, the chinese yuan did not depreciate against the US dollar but rather the government through the central bank devalued it. This was done to discourage imports as they will become more expensive. Just remember next time that you talking to people who understand the global economy and not cadres.

  29. The friendship between the two rich friends is anticipated to come to an end not later than December 2016 when their party lose.Watch the space ! For now its their democratic right and they really want to re invest in politics.

  31. GBM and HH’s tribal clique should stay away from the cartel’s proxy wars for access to resources and political control. Look at the post newspapers today, poverty is not a fiction among its workers. It’s a pity these people can’t make ends meet, and except for Mmembe, many have to go to bed with empty stomach or a meal per day. A Yoruba proverb says “The wealth which enslaves the owner isn’t wealth”. Another proverb from South Africa says “Money can’t talk, yet it can make lies look true”. Again GBM and HH’s tribal clique should not think they can use money as aphrodisiac to molest poor people. Any Zambian President with no links to the cartel carries a high risk of a proxy war, or colorful revolution for regime change. My heart goes out to President Lungu, President Rupiah Banda and late…

  32. Certainly i cant risk my vote on leaders who mercilessly batter women.The women of Zambia who are the majority voters will have the last say !

  33. The PF infrastructure development agenda is very impressive and its the reason i will give them a vote again in 2016.Those who just yap in newspapers and social media are time wasters.They cant beat the record of PF.NEVER NEVER !

    • Which record? Kwacha @ 8.25 against greenback? Or electricity supply? May be accountability of personal wealth or it was accountability of 3 Billion US$?

  34. UPND’s tribal clique should stay away from the cartel’s proxy wars for access to resources and political control. Look at the post newspapers today, poverty is not a fiction among its workers. It’s a pity these people can’t make ends meet, and except for Mmembe, many have to go to bed with empty stomach or a meal per day. A Yoruba proverb says “The wealth which enslaves the owner isn’t wealth”. Another proverb from South Africa says “Money can’t talk, yet it can make lies look true”.

My heart goes out to President Lungu, President Rupiah Banda and late President…

  35. @John
    You are 100% correct.Neither the Cartel using a known newspaper nor the so called two friends could do what PF has so far done in a few years.Even as they go campaigning in the country side,the works by PF are visible.No reasonable Zambian will agitate for change of govt in 2016.Change for the sake of it will not help this Country.

  36. KAMBWILI KABWALALA WA NJAJI FROM LUANSHYA TO NDOLA AND SOLD IT AS SCRAP METAL. THIS THIEF’S PLACE IS BEHIND BARS, BUT UNFORTUNATELY IN ZAMBIA HE IS GIVEN LEADERSHIP POSITION AND FLIES A FLAG ON HIS CAR. PATHETIC! CHISANGA AND SICHINGA ARE FAILURES IN LIFE. IF CHISANGA WAS OF ANY SUBSTANCE, HE WOULD HAVE NOT ALLOWED HIMSELF TO BE APPOINTED BY HIS FELLLOW TRIBE’S MAN TO THAT JUNIOR POSITION HE IS SURVING ON NOW. HAD HE BEEN GIVEN TO LEAD UPND WHEN MAZOKA DIED HE WOULD HAVE KILLED IT. HE LEFT THE PARTY BECAUSE THE FRIEND WHO WAS FEEDING HIM DIED. THE MAN IS A PAUPER WITHOUT A VISION.

  37. if the voters in northern Zambia want to trust UPND with power, they are free to do so. Before they make that decision a reminder that majority of people backing HH were behind the persecution of northerners. please don’t forget that it was Dipak Patel that moved the motion to prosecute Chiluba.

  38. Ki ki ki Change to bring Cow dung in Cairo road is unacceptable in this age and era ! The good road network we are seeing,schools,bridges,clinics,social cash transfer and support to the farmers should continue.

    • At least cow dung can be used as manure not the human excrement that is shake shake packs on lumumba road that you seem to be eating to come up with such tribal remarks

  39. When people get too comfortable with material things they easily get blind and refuse to accept that there are people who are lacking and are suffering. Sata used to tease these chaps that they are lazy and just getting fat, it was not a joke and Zambians must decide what they want otherwise these PF chaps are not up to any good. It somehow feels like we are being let by blind and deaf people!

  40. Iwe Kambwili the President lost his law practice licence because he chewed a client’s money it was given to him under pressure other wise in the normal world he could not have it back like what the current chief justice said it is difficult to get it back once LAW grabs it. Check your back your house before you issue statements.

  42. It is time that someone made this fat hippo eat his own crappy words!

    If this ID!OT can be appointed “Government Spokesman” my pigs should be Ministers!

    Squealer for sure!

  43. The Poor Fella (pf) is feeling GBM’s body mass. In its present form,no sane zambian will vote for pf unless they maintain the poverty levels to bribe voters.

    • We are voting for PF. Do not speak for us who like PF. WE are beating you again. That Body mass of your GBM did not work against EL in last election. Instead GBM went away crying and got married to HH and is pregnant with another UPND defeat.

      HH and GBM are pathetic pair of rich losers. The should contest in the biggest loser competition!!!

  44. Obviously HH and UPND supporters know that they are now fighting a proxy war for the cartel. The cartel is actively seeking a political party they can use to access state power and apparatus. Cartel works on the same basis as demons; demons know that they are an illegal entity on earth so they seek a body to possess. In this analogy HH and UPND are the body possessed by the cartel for a proxy war against President Lungu and those who refused to be manipulated by Mmembe. The game is on!

    • But Lungu manipulated other people and he is still doing that. The majority manipulated are poor Zambians who are now not able to meet the demands of their daily lives. So you have decided to choose the devil lugu to possess you instead? Choose your words properly, things are terrible in the country and we must call a spade a spade period.

  45. Kambwili we blame your appointing authority because no sane good leader would give you a job as spokesperson or minister.

  46. Every time Kambwili opens his mouth rubbish spews out. Always personal attacks on others. What is wrong with this airhead? Is this the same one with a house in the middle of a golf course in one of the Copperbelt towns?

  47. Time of reckoning is coming in 2016. Please provide solutions to the problems Zambia is currently facing. The cost of living is very high. Zambia is an import based economy, simply put: depreciated Kwacha = high importation costs = high prices = poverty. Our salaries are not increasing which means less purchasing power. Kashimba Chimbwili concentrate your energy on these issues by using your loud mouth.
    HH and GBM are providing you with indicators of what is happening right now. Work on them and win 2016 elections.

  48. Kambwili is right. These two UPMD are in for money and not interested for the wellfare of Zambians. GM wants people who will pay back in terms of business contracts.

    Those who are criticising kambwili are just hurt by the truth he has spoken. UPND will never win 2016 election under these two capitalists. Because they only talk about how rich they are and not connecting with common Zambian but the rich and elite.

  49. He was hiding when HH and GBM were campaigning in his back yard till youths chased him, he again followed again he was chased like a dog in his backyard kikik, leave them alone, you also love money , who doesn’t , HH and GBM , don’t respond to this fool. Period

  50. Pf has messed up the economy because poverty stricken leaders are busy looting. It is only the rich that can manage to uplift the living standards of the poor.

    • False, whenthe greedy rich like HH and GBM rule, the rich get richer while the poor get poorer. We need patriots like Mwanawasa, Sata and no Lungu. Zambians will experience worse suffering under capitalistic people. Let continue to make money and allow those gifted with taking care of national affairs to do so. Getting does not mean one is able to rule. Some of the wealth some people baost about is stolen or gotten unfairly by breaking other people backs.

  51. How did he get a degree at Copperbelt university? Honestly , you sat on the desk like other people, you could understand issues properly, as for you, someone must have written the exam on your behalf. Can’t you read the mood of country, that very few, like this government. And GBM and HH were in your back yard, and you were following them till the youths chased you. Shame on chimbwi

  52. Very cheap indeed.

    Does Mr Kambwili not like money? Look at him. I think given a choice to choose who to trust I would go for HH. GBM, uuuuuh, the only problem is his temperament but may be those close to him know better. Again given a second choice, I would trust GBM.

  53. Are Denmark, Sweden, Germany, New Zealand, Singapore, Japan socialist countries? A big NO. Yet their people enjoy the highest standards of living. What about Korea and China the so-called socialist countries? The standards of living there are way way behind the capitalist countries. The issue here is the role of government in redistributing the wealth created by capital, labour and technology. You cannot lie to some of us any more.

  54. You can yap as much as you wish or want but facts are facts. HH and GBM do not have what makes a president but only skills to steal from people. HH has no history before privatization and he fails to give us a trail. GBM has always had corrupt tenders in the prisons, army and FRA. Not hard work but corruption.
    You can hate Kwambwili, go on but it wont take away the truth that UPND is a regional and tribal party. GBM wont change this ink from what it is to another. The ink is Tribal and is Tonga.

  55. We are voting for PF. Do not speak for us who like PF. We are beating you again. That Body mass of your GBM did not work against EL in last election. Instead GBM went away crying and got married to HH and is pregnant with another UPND defeat.
    HH and GBM are pathetic pair of rich losers. They should contest in the biggest loser competition!!!

  56. Good observation. PF is in trouble. The party that is not using public funds is scaring you to the bones. The indicators are there. I was in Lusanshya last week. PF cadres are nowhere.

    Good lack CK!!

  57. To show how much of a buffoon he is, it is told he honks his horn 8 minutes away from his home for his security guard to open the gate. This being anywhere from midnight to 3am when people are fast asleep. Wisteria Avenue used to be a quiet and peaceful street until a kamushi arrived. A complete moron most say who live on that street. He built his property on top of sewer pipes and if they burst hell will break loose. He steals money for youth projects, has opened a restaurant/bar with it and still ACC are too scared to investigate. Children plus wife living abroad so is the government paying for their lifestyle?
