Chief Government Spokesman Chishimba Kambwili has implored Post Newspapers Editor In Chief Fred Mm’embe to attend the National Day of Prayer and Reconciliation on October 18th 2015 called by President Edgar Lungu.
In an interview, Mr Kambwili said Mr Mm’embe must attend the prayers because he needs deliverance.
“I am happy that President Lungu has declared October 18th as the date for prayers and reconciliation so that all the people including Mm’embe, he must come for those prayers because he needs to be delivered,” Mr Kambwili stated.
Mr Kambwili said the State of the Nation address delivered by President Lungu last Friday has shammed all critics.
‘From now on I can sleep like a baby because the President has covered all aspects of human endeavour and I think by and large people will have a different perspective of the President,’ Mr Kambwili said.
Mr Kambwili who is also Information and Broadcasting Minister said President Lungu now deserves respect from all Zambia because of the manner in which he presented his speech.
“From now people must respect him because people have been saying he has no plan for this country, from the way that speech has been delivered, can that speech come from a person without a plan or passion for this country?” Mr Kambwili questioned.
Mr Kambwili said President Lungu has outlined his vision for Zambia up to 2064.
He has since called on opposition members to be sympathetic towards the PF government in order to build Zambia together.
Says this fool kambwili.
Grow up u fool kambwili.
Leave Meembe alone.
Who are u deceiving ?
It’s Edgar and yourselves who need deliverance.
Yes, he needs deliverance for having helped PF devils to ascend to power
Its true! Fred needs deliverance. Its even a miracle to c a peson with such high grade anger and hatred still aliv. Kambwili is right.
Our problems are created by men and not God. There’s no need for national prayers. The answer is to get rid of PF immediately. People must rise up against this failed govt of liars.
PF needs deliverance for lying to Zambians and turning their party back to MMD. let the almighty punish them and never be allowed to rule Zambia.
Day of reconcilation with who?? Guy Scott, GBM, Masebo etc because they know they have no money and will lose.
Listening to the President passing a speech?? wondered how Zambians would vote for such a person with not public and leadership skills.. Wow what a country??
People a day of reconciliation and prayers is better.We need to be together as Zambians.Mmembe is the dividing this country on tribal grounds.He has been talking wrongs things against the bembas and tongas.
That was just a speech written for him by others. It is highly unlikely the orator himself even knew or believed in what he was presenting to parliament
Chishimba Kambwili must have watched “The Interview”. When the leader farts you clap.
George Orwell’s Squealer would faint with envy.
You both need to line up a SCOAN prayer line and we will see who comes out clean.
Avoid bigotry, people have to line up to God the Saviour. Let us exalt God above all preachers.
“…Lungu now deserves respect from all Zambia because of the manner in which he presented his speech…”
This is bullsh!t, Mr. Kambwili. People want promises fulfilled – not empty rhetoric from a cut and pasted speech!
Babies sleep and cry each time they wake up causing sleepless nights to the elders/oarents!
MATHWE 7:3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4. How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
IT MIGHT BE THAT YOU BOTH NEED DELIVERANCE!!
How can you quote from a book that in itself is full of lies and contradictions? Truly laughable.
When are we going to have a National Day of Cleaning up our filthy towns instead of wasting time praying whilst others are stealing in the maize field! !
Jay Jay,
That is a great suggestion and observation. Those mountains of garbage and litter everywhere need a national cleaning week. Councils and even the outsourced companies have lamentably failed to cope. During the Kaunda regime there was humanism week in which all kinds of work was done. If the government is for the prayer then the cleaning could be preceded by prayers. Zambia needs a national cleaning week. But why do Zambians embrace filth?
Call for prayers is a mockery as long as Kaizer Zulu is still at state house despite demanding for $200,000 fee to see the president, as long as Chama is the SG even after having insulted an entire tribe, as long as killers of the Mtendere UPND cadre Mutapa still walk the streets of Zambia, as long as investors continue meeting the president at state house. Please ECL, stop such kind of hypocrisy, in fact your prayers will backfire.
Honourable Kambwili, the Bible at Matthew 7:1-2, cautions us against judging others. Everyone knows that Mmembe (the Post Newspaper) was intruemental in helping PF win elections in 2011. Where is this extreem hatred between PF and Mmembe coming from? Is this a relationship gone sour or what?
Now we know that we are dealing with the Devils agents like Jay Jay, my brother you need deliverance! your so called ‘research’ will without the grace of the lord take you to hell. period!
You are a Pig ngulube
Kambwili, you must remove the log in your eye before calling on M’membe to do that. You are the worst calprit when it come to such things. You language and what you always think londly, makes you more of a calprit. You Kambwili you are the worst pretender and think you are a perfect man. Stones will role and it will not be long from now.
Chishimba Kambwili,the PF Propaganda Chief,is wrong to think that the so-called ”national prayers” can solve any problems Zambia is facing.Only regime change will rescue us from the problems Sata and the PF created.
iyo ba sosala calimikalipa,kanshi 2016 mwalafwa because hon.kambwili will stil be thare as well as pf.viva hon kambwili,viva pf.
It is not a must or a forcing matter that every should attend those prayers Lungu needs to clean up his house first.
A man’s respect lies in his deeds and not words. We want to see that speech translated into action, otherwise it will remain mere rhetoric.
Mmembe, who is he for the whole government machinery to concentrate resources and time him. We are popular, let’s no bother ourselves with what he publishes. Our actions will vindicate us. We can do better we focus on addressing this economic malaise.
Kind Regards.

Okay, truly Mmembe can hate! He needs deliverance for sure.
This declared national day of prayers will be a total waste of valuable time. God has already equiped up with the necessary skills (Talent, Knowlwedge and wisdom) to be able to be able to solve any problem on this earth. Therefore, I would urge our leaders to concentrate on exporing tangible options of sorting out our economic crisis instead of praying for miracles. God is with us but it is up to us to get ourselves out of this bottomless pit.
I think Kambwili needs more prayers because of the way he insults others. Just recently he said Nalumango was ugly when God says she is beautiful. Kambwili is on record inciting cadres to kill opposition political party supporters with machets and pangas using his Jerabos. Has God given Kambwili power to kill or maim what he created? We want to see u in front for deliverance during the prayer meeting.
You can’t keep punching me while yelling ‘reconcile!’ in my ear. I am too busy punching back to feel reconciliatory, know what I mean…
@JAY JAY,Young man I ve been observing your Anti Christian comments closely.Be warned,CHRISTIANITY or the HOLY BIBLE is not something to play with.If u re in Satanism or whatever Cult, dont play with Our Religion or Else U will face the wrath of Adonai,our Lord. Just blog on other issues rather than engaging Our God to battle u!
How can an entire God be so trivial as to engage in a battle with one of his creations? why would he even need to do that, if at all he is a he. By viture of god not being a woman as we are told in the bible that he is not, makes him an untrue god. how can a god not be everything? this is a pure leftist eurocentric thought, which reveres and promotes male chauvinism,well atleast not until 20 years ago or so.
You see, what you are doing here shows the problems of christianity and religion in general. its absolute sickness.
Wake up, research and you won’t be afraid of going to hell or heaven! !
The prayers and fasting should also include Isaiah 58 and should be done in love for everyone whether opposition or ruling. The bible is clear that faith works by love and without love we are nothing even if the faith moved mountains. Lastly the bible says we cannot claim to love God who we have not seen and yet hate our brothers.
1“Cry out loudly, don’t hold back! Raise your voice like a trumpet. Tell My people their transgression and the house of Jacob their sins. 2They seek Me day after day
and delight to know My ways, like a nation that does what is right and does not abandon the justice of their God. They ask Me for righteous judgments; they delight in the nearness of God.”
3“Why have we fasted, but You have not seen? We have denied ourselves, but You haven’t noticed! ” “Look, you do as you please on the day of your fast, and oppress all your workers.
4You fast with contention and strife to strike viciously with your fist. You cannot fast as you do today, hoping to make your voice heard on high.
5Will the fast I choose be like this: A day for a person to deny himself, to bow his head like a reed, and to spread out sackcloth and ashes? Will you call this a fast and a day acceptable to the Lord? 6Isn’t the fast I choose: To break the chains of wickedness, to untie the ropes of the yoke,to set the oppressed free, and to tear off every yoke? 7Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, to bring the poor and homeless into your house, to clothe the naked when you see him,
and not to ignore your own flesh and blood? 8Then your light will appear like the dawn,
and your recovery will come quickly. Your righteousness will go before you, and the Lord’s glory will be your rear guard. 9At that time, when you call, the Lord will answer; when you cry out, He will say, ‘Here I am.’ If you…
10and if you offer yourself to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted one, then your light will shine in the darkness, and your night will be like noonday. 11The Lord will always lead you, satisfy you in a parched land, and strengthen your bones. You will be like a watered garden and like a spring whose waters never run dry. 12Some of you will rebuild the ancient ruins;
you will restore the foundations laid long ago; you will be called the repairer of broken walls,
the restorer of streets where people live.
9At that time, when you call, the Lord will answer; when you cry out, He will say, ‘Here I am.’ If you get rid of the yoke among you, the finger-pointing and malicious speaking,
Prayer Points for the national day of Prayer. 1 Love to prevail in the ruling and opposition parties. 2. Jesus to be Lord in the ruling and opposition parties. 3. The Church to be impartial as they speak and pray against all issues in our nation, to be a voice for the voiceless. 4 Credibility, integrity, honesty and prudent use of National resources . 5) Pray against corruption and theft at all levels of Government . 6) Every Zambian to be respected,honored and informed and not to be taken advantage by politicians. 7 Reformation in ECZ and credibility before all opposition and ruling parties and all things should be done unto the Lord. 8 Violence free Political Leaders, parties and elections. 9 Reformation in the Justice and Political system , all things should be done unto the Lord. 10…
10 Repentance on behalf of Zambia, leaders and all the people where God has not be honored. 11 Restoration of everything lost in our nation due to sin, ignorance etc such as economic state, good governance. 12 Reversing of all oppressive laws . 13 Equal access to all Zambians to Government and National resources and privileges. 14 Zambia to be a light to all nations as a Christian nation, fear of the Lord and in good governance.
15. Praying against all hate speech, propaganda and Tribalism.
16. Praying against all Sexual Defilement. 17. Praying for practical solutions and implementations and against accidents caused ignorance, poor road designs, faulty cars, drunkenness, unskilled drivers, corruption and other sources.
Prayer and fasting on a Sunday?? Sunday is the day of the Resurrection and not a day of fasting. Hope it will not be in the morning. To which Chuch by the way does Chagwa and Kambwiri belong to?
That is the next step…who is the President’s Pastor or Priest…
African politicians and governments are very deceitful and manipulative. African countries need people like Mmembe and newspapers like the Post. Mmembe needs no deliverance. He is playing the correct role in this young democracy. Get used to critical views and opposing views.
Well said. African and Zambian politicians are so corrupt. We need Mmembe and the Post to check them out. Let Kambwili deny the rumor that he was benefitting from the criminal behavior which was happening at the Black Mountain by transporting stolen slag material.
THIS SO-CALLED SPEECH HAS A LOT OF PLAGIARIZED CLAUSES FROM UPND. THAT WAS SIMPLY A RHETORIC RECITATION. LUNGU DOES NOT HAVE ANY VISION AT ALL FOR THE NATION. ARE YOU STILL DOUBTING THAT? ABASH LUNGU! ABASH KACHASU! ABASH JAMESON!
Thought Kambwili is the one who needs deliverance more…
As people will be praying with their eyes closed, EL and friends will be sharing the remains of the Eurobond.
AS MUCH I AM NOT A FAN OF FRED. WHAT FRED HAS BEEN SAYING IS TRUE AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS DURING THE LATE MCS’S TIME BECAUSE SOME OF THESE PROBLEMS STEM FROM HIS TENURE. I THIN THE ONE THAT NEEDS DELIVERANCE IS THIS HIPPO. THAT SPEECH WAS WRITTEN FOR EL AND I AM 200% HE HAD NO CLUE WHAT ANY OF IT MEANT. PEOPLE ARE SAYING EL HAS NO VISION BASED ON HIS ACTIONS AND HIS PROVEN FAILURE (PF) MINIONS LIKE YOURSELF. EL LIKE OTHER PRESIDENTS SAY THINGS BUT WHAT MATTERS THE MOST TO PEOPLE IS NOT WHAT YOU SAY BUT WHAT YOU DO. AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED HE HAS DONE THING. COMPLETELY NOTHING APART FROM SLEEP ON DUTY AND PROTECTING KAIZER ZULU AND TRAVELING. IF HE HAS A VISION, LET ME CALL FOR A CONFERENCE SO WE QUESTION HIS VISION AND SEE HIS OWN ANSWERS NOT FROM A SPEECH THAT IS WRITTEN FOR…
Wise Comm.. Are you ready to join us to work and bring change or you will be left digging your own grave? It’s now or never! Com’on Boy!
So you were not sleeping iwe dumbo….??? Anyway contibue sleeping while things get sours and kicked out in 2016
Kambwili, only the gulible kaponya suppoters bought into the ipad manufacture 2064 train. The Rest of us are asking what is the immediate plan of action?. BTW south Africa has ended load shedding with the current so called “draught”
Kambwili bullied Gervasio just like Chelsea bullied Arsenal, especially Costa. Shame that Gervasio couldn’t hold Kambwili by his b###s.
It is a pity that we have ministers who stoop so low. What is the job description for Kamwbili anyway? He seems to be disillusioned by the post and M’membe. Kambwili the govt has a lot of work and promises to fulfill than wasting time talking about M’membe. Yes Lungu gave a mouthwatering speech but we want to see actions not lip service, remember we have not forgotten about how PF ascended to power through Donch Kubeba. We expect the govt to deliver not to keep promising, Kambwili keep in mind that we cannot eat and live on promises.
Mr Kambwili,
if you are reading comments here, I want you to know that prayers are not a time for vengeance or to demean another human being.
Prayer times are an opportunity for humility, reconciliation and repentance for everyone.
You have no right to determine who does and does not need repentance. You are NOT the Holy Spirit who convicts people of sin.
If you, Mmembe or any other person are convicted of sin by the Holy Spirit and choose to hang on in sin, you will be held responsible, but if you choose to repent, you will be forgiven by God and restored to his favour – but it is not for you to accuse others of sin.
This day that has been called is for all Zambians who will dedicate themselves to pray to the Lord for the healing of our nation, so that such attitudes as yours…
Kambwili and those calling for the prayers of reconciliation should read Isaiah 58:1-7

‘Why have we fasted,’ they say,
‘and you have not seen it?
Why have we humbled ourselves,
and you have not noticed?’
“Yet on the day of your fasting, you do as you please
and exploit all your workers.
4
Your fasting ends in quarreling and strife,
and in striking each other with wicked fists.
You cannot fast as you do today
and expect your voice to be heard on high.
5
Is this the kind of fast I have chosen,
only a day for people to humble themselves?
Is it only for bowing one’s head like a reed
and for lying in sackcloth and ashes?
Is that what you call a fast,
a day acceptable to the Lord?

“Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:
to…
6
“Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:
to loose the chains of injustice
and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed free
and break every yoke?
7
Is it not to share your food with the hungry
and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter—
when you see the naked, to clothe them,
and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?
U can all GO TO HELL. Politicians are all the same. No one will ever bread on yo table! BELIEVE THAT!
liar liar your pants are on fire….perhaps you should look for deliverence or visit your fire statin
Invite TB Joshua ,all politicians need deliverance.
Has UNZA introduced Religious Economics 901 yet? According to research, it is very effective in solving both economic and political problems especially with a fasting element to it!
Viva ECL ! The opposition have now nothing to talk about…….actually its them who are vision less.In 2016 its kolopa.com.
Kambwili will be the next President after Lungu’s two terms.He is a wise man and well appreciated by all well meaning Zambians.
In my experience, babies sleep best when their tummies are full. Obviously Chishi sleeps well at night, but what about the other babies in almost every household of Zambia that cry themselves to sleep due to hunger ?
BTW Chishi your 90 days are up. From one failed promise to another speech filled with promises. Before we take you to task on the new promises, I suggest you settle the promises ya kuddala
St. Paul writes at Romans 14:12 – ‘Every one of us, then, will have to give an account of ourselves to God’.
I doubt whether God would listen to prayers from a congregation that has Fred Mmembe in it. He is not only irreverent and unhumble he is as stubborn as a mule
Comment:brain washed La Liga!!
what were you worshiping before the white man brought this so called word of God?
Why is it that every time this Kambwili pig opens his mouth only rubbish comes out?
we are not a theocracy were leaders should make such declarations, its important to note that its a Christian call for one to pray and fast.
Righteous KINGS like Hezekiah did make such calls and the God of heaven heard and healed their land, I don’t know what the current president’s stance is, he has never made a public declaration that he is a believer, so he cannot declare a faith that he doesn’t hold on to. I challenge him, WHEN AND HOW DID YOU BECOME A CHRISTIAN MR PRESIDENT?
Stupid ***** Kambwili. Do you think God is operating on PF instructions? God can not chose crap like you against suffering Zambians. STUPID ***** KAMBWILI
It is written that we have ALL sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Do not deceive yourself that YOU are pure or sinless. It is written the heart of man is desperately wicked and no one can understand it. All human beings are naturally sinful. WE ALL NEED TO REPENT OF OUR SINS:both sins of commission and sins of omission, secret sins and open sins. Examine your heart today and see if you don’t harbour any sin. All the following are sinners: idolators, fornicators, swindlers, liars, deceivers, tricksters,thieves, drunkards, adulterers,human traffickers,parent/child killers,male and female prostitutes, homosexuals, gossipers, slanderers, murderers, lesbians, witches, wizards, etc. Also, if you have in your heart, any of the following evils: unforgiveness, hatred, pride, arrogance,…
Kambwili is a real man and ECL made a good decision to make him Chief govt spokesperson.The opposition are left confused especially after the Sunday interview.They have nothing to tell the people of Zambia that they can do differently.The man is able to articulate national issues effectively to the disappointment of the opposition.
The Post needs prayers for them to be able to cover all Zambians equitably PF,UPND,NAREP,RAINBOW,FDD etc.Giving prominence to the Cartel only is frustrating some of us who buy the paper daily.If things do not change,i will surely withdraw my subscription.
Ba real-fu is the Pro Sosala supporter.
kambwili you need excorcism of the demons in you. the bible says before you remove the speck from your brother s eye, remove the log from your eye first.
It is a pity that fat Chikambwili could go for a specks in his brother’s eyes leaving the logs in his own eyes which have not only hurt him but his president and the whole pf. How can there be genuine reconciliation when f.o.o.lilshness is overflowing among pf leaders and cadres? EL has stacked sangomas in state house to help him not die and to cast spells on opposition and the general citizenry so that they vote for him in 2016. People open your eyes and ears.
