HH is a pompous, good for nothing tribalist- Kambwili

Chief Government Spokesman Chishimba Kambwili has lashed out at opposition UPND President Hakainde Hichilema for criticising the PF government describing him as a good for nothing tribalist.

Mr Kambwili said Mr Hichilema’s incessant appetite for criticising most of Government programs has exposed him as an arrogant and pompous person.

He was speaking Tuesday morning when he featured on a live Radio Phoenix’s ‘Let the People Talk’ program.

Mr Kambwili said Mr Hichilema’s recent radio interview on the same program was used to attack Government unjustifiably.

‘It is unreasonable and unjustifiable for anyone to attack the PF that we have failed to develop this country over the last four year and this is what Mr Hichilema was doing on this same program,’ Mr Kambwili said.

‘All the problems facing Zambia today cannot be attributed to the PF. Even in MMD, Zambia had the same challenges including in the UNIP days. That is why i am saying that no normal person can say the PF has failed,’ he said.

He said Mr Hichilema left many Zambians questioning his Economics Degree after he allegedly failed to articulate economic issues on the radio program.

‘Even non Economists know that what Zambia is going through is as a result of external shocks but you have Economic pundits here cheating the Zambia people that the depreciation of the Kwacha is due to PF’s poor policies. These pundits like Mr Hichilema are lying with open teeth.’

He appealed to Zambians to disregard Mr Hichilema’s opinions about the performance of the Zambian economy.

‘This man is just a pompous and good for nothing tribalist who thinks he is the only educated man in Zambia. Our current Bank of Zambia Governor is probably one of the best in Africa but he has failed to arrest the depreciation, so does it mean that Mr Hichilema is the only man who knows Economist by claiming that the Kwacha will appreciation the moment he is sworn? Is this magic? Abracadabra.’

Mr Kambwili itemised several infrastructural development that the PF has initiated since coming to power in four years ago.

‘We have done very well as a Government, we have constructed schools in all provinces, we have already constructed health posts and clinic in several parts of the country while our roads project is also on course.’

On load shedding, Mr Kambwili said Government has put in place measures that will accelerate the construction of ongoing power generation stations.

‘So when you hear these people say PF has failed the people because of load shedding, they are lying. Which power station gets constructed within four years? People need to be serious and realistic. Even my four year old niece Mubanga knows the load shedding is due to low water levels but Mr Hichilema does not seem to know that.’

  1. what is the point for attending the prayer and repentance this 18,sunday when those who are championing it are full of hate and hypocricy.

    • Mr. Kambwili ati “These pundits like Mr Hichilema are LYING WITH OPEN TEETH”. The idiom is “LYING BETWEEN YOUR TEETH” or “LYING THROUGH YOUR TEETH”.

    • I think the media is interviewing this baboon so much to expose the little brain matter he has. If i was Lungu i would not want my name to be associated with this dullness.

      But then is Lungu clever?

    • Truly PF need prayers, they are traumatised. Sunday is too far.
      Kambwili used to be a better Pagan FOOL under Sata, but now he behaving like a chakolwa, ukubwatabwata in streets.

    • Kambwili: you are a Tin-head Buffoon who does not know what he is yapping about.Silence is golden ba Kambwili, you just exposed how ignorant and inept you are.

    • I listened to the program and it was not at all an interview but was more of a tirade against HH. The interviewer was not at all in control of the program. At one point, Kambwili was asked a question on roads and did not have an answer but instead replied that he was not the Minister of Works to answer the question. Yet, he immediately continued speaking about infrastructural projects that are under the Ministry of Works. He exhibited the exact pomposity and arrogance he was criticizing HH about. Kambwili needs an interviewer like young Grevazio Zulu, who clearly does his research before an interview.

    • What could happen if one day, HH was to say the following…” I wish to appeal to the Zambian people to remain calm as the gvt is trying hard to find a permanent solution to the problem of load shedding which has been caused by low water levels and poor planning by our Gvt. As an opposition party, we shall work with the gvt by advising them on the alternative solution to the current challenges aimed at reducing the suffering of our people due to shortage of power. We therefore suggest the following:
      1. That the PF government should start looking for investors in the Energy sector esp those interested in developing coal power plants and solar energy plants.
      2. The GVT should also encourage Zambian companies to invest in the energy sector.
      3. The Zambian gvt should act as surety for…

    • The Zambian gvt should act as surety for loans obtained by Zambian companies, channeled to the development of power generating plants.
      4. The gvt should also attract investment in the development of gas plants and encourage Zambians to use gas stoves, gueezers etc as is the case with most European countries
      ETC……..
      Zambians will obviously appreciate such contributions from a leader and I see no reason why they should not vote for a party that is providing solutions rather than insulting the gvt of the day.

    • DUE TO NOISE POLLUTION ON THE AIR I COULDN’T FINISH THE PROGRAM. BUT ONE THING I CONCLUDED WAS THAT HH FOUND IT THE RIGHT PLATFORM TO BITTERLY ATTACK PF. IF ONE IS MORE THAN 35 YEARS OLD WHETHER THEY ARE PF OR NOT THEY SHOULD KNOW THAT THERE HAS EVER BEEN LOAD SHEDDING IN ZAMBIA AND POWER HAS NEVER BEEN ENOUGH AND THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A PROGRAM IN ZAMBIA TO ELECTRIFY ESPECIALLY RURAL AREAS AND A LARGE %AGE OF ZAMBIA’S POPULATION USED TO BE OR STILL IS IN RURAL AREAS. ELECTRIFYING RURAL AREAS IS A PF THING. BESIDES FROM UNIP TO MMD THERE HAS NEVER BEEN SERIOUS AND PRACTICAL PLANS TO EXPLORE OTHER SOURCES OF ENERGY. THE ONLY BLAME I HAVE FOR PF IS THAT PROBABLY THEY ARE NOT FAST ENOUGH TO INDUSTRIALISE THE COUNTRY. MOREOVER TOURISM IS UP TO NOW JUST GIVEN A LIP SERVICE. THE EXPORTATION OF…

    • On Radio Phoenix, Kambwili asked,”How long does it take to make a coal fired power generation plant? A minimum of 36 months. 36 months is 3 years. How long have we had these problems? In the last four months. Let’s stop misleading the people.”
      Now today he says,”Which power station gets constructed within four years? People need to be serious and realistic. It is unreasonable and unjustifiable for anyone to attack the PF that we have failed to develop this country over the last four year and this is what Mr Hichilema was doing on this same program.’

    • …THE EXPORTATION OF MAIZE SHOULDN’T BE A PROBLEM. IN FACT IT SHOULD BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ZAMBIA FOR READY MARKET FOR MAIZE. ZAMBIA SHOULD JUST INCREASE PRODUCTION OF MAIZE AND EARN MORE FEREX. IN TERMS OF TOURISM, TOWNS SUCH AS LIVINGSTONE, SAMFYA, MPULUNGUSIAVONGA, MWENSE AND OTHERS SHOULD HAVE JUST BEEN MODERNISED TO THE EXPECTATIONS OF INTERNATIONAL TOURISTS. I MEAN CONSTRUCT PROPER ROADS, PROPER MODERN COMMUTER TRANSPORT (BUSES, TRAINS, TRAMS BOATS), THEME PARKS, THEATRES/CONCERT HALLS, RE-HOUSING OF TRADERS IN NEW SHOPPING MALLS, SPORTS FACILITIES, ETC. NEW POLICE HQs, STRICTER LAWS ETC.

    • Indeed, Mr Kambwili should be ashamed of himself calling HH a tribalist. I want to challenge Mr. Kabwili to cut my finger if he can construct a short sentence in Tonga. On the the other hand HH can operate in Bemba and Nyanja very fluently. A tribalist is one who thinks other tribes and languages are so inferior to them that they don’t even bother to learn to say a simple greeting in other languages. Mr. Kabimba fits 100% in this definition of a tribalist. PF promised to fix the economy but have failed and are now resorting to name calling.

    • how can the BoZ governor be one of the best if he has failed to arrest the falling kwacha. Kambwili watch what you say, pakanwa imwe tamwakwata ama brakes. You just confirmed to us that your best is failure!!!

    • Kambwili who are you to question HH economic degree? Are you really sincere in your talk to criticize HH degree? It means a lot if you do not know. You are even questioning the institution that conferred the degree to HH. Kambwili you recently got your degree through correspondence HH did not get his through correspondence and for your own information mr big fat man there were no correspondences for degrees during HH time.

      Kambwili why do you hate people like that? Is that what you call reconciliation when you, you are full of hate? Kambwilli you disgust me I wish you could disappear in the thin air you are scandalizing PF party by your bad utterances.

    • “HH is a pompous, good for nothing tribali’st- Kambwili” nga imwe ba Kambwili – english ati look who’s talking.

    • KAMBWILI WAS A JERABO AND HIS LANGUAGE STILL REMAINS ONE LIKE THAT. THERE IS NONSENSE AND NO SENSE AND I SEE IN HONORABLE CK ONE OF THE TWO PHRASES RATHER WORDS. YOU CAN CONCLUDE HIM ON THAT LEVEL.

      CHISHIMBA KAMBWILI IS THE MINISTER OF INFORMATION WHY DONT HE PICK UP A TOPIC AND BRING NAWAKWI OR HH ON ZNBC PLATFORM SO THAT ISSUES AFFLICTING OUR COUNTRY AND DEBATE THEM?
      NO OPPOSITION IS HEARD EXCEPT THE HIRED AND PAID PRESIDENT LIKE BLA…BLA… NO ONE IS HAPPY MY DEAR. IWE TAWUSHITA NO BUNGA, SALADI BAKUPELAFYE PAMO NA PETROL WHO ARE YOU TRYING TO FOOL ARROUND? 2016 IS NEARBY EVEN WHO YOU CALLING CADRES WILL TURN AGAINST YOU ON THAT DAY BECAUSE YOU MAN THEM DRUNK BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY THEIR CHILDREN WANT NSHIMA.

    • LT why are you blocking the word ‘T-r-ibali-st’ when its there in your own heading? Is it an insult? If so then edit your heading!

  2. One might even consider that it is not just a word. In politics the “opposition” have a role. Seems my buddy at info needs to think about more important matters, starting with his blood pressure coz he sounds like he’s at bust a blood vessel point!

    • LT stop blocking my comments!

      What qualifies one as a tribalist?
      1. Is it being a critic of government? or
      2. Is it being born Tonga?

      If 1 then Sata was a treble tribalist cos he was more critic of RB than HH is of ECl.
      If 2 then HH has no control over it as God can not be challenged over his decision to allow some people to be born Tonga

    • “This man is just a pompous and good for nothing tribalist”………

      Mr Disaster Kambwili, DID YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR THIS MORNING?????????

  3. I listened to the presentation (not interview). One would think radio Phoenix had invited an aggressive PF cadre from the komboni. The caliber was pathetic, not fitting a govt leader!

    • I listened too and totally agree with you. It was a presentation and not an interview. Christine was definitely not in-charge of the process. He needed an interview like Grevazio Zulu or Luchi Haambote could have done better.

    • “Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper.” Robert Frost

    • Ban Mbinji you living in World of illusion never think that we will vote for an arrogant and tribal inclined HH.lONG LIVE pf

    • “Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.” Thomas Jefferson

  4. Ati “Good for nothing”, hehehehe, I guess many people who grew up in my generation remember this phrase very well in primary school. Why not debate objectively without resorting to tribal nonsense? Shocking how people who have no points to debate with HH jump to the two issues; privatisation and tribalism. Move on, you are in charge, the only way to shame HH is to deliver.

    • True observation there. Why didn’t he challenge HH on the issues he raised last week? Instead he begins calling him names and saying he is a tribalist. It’s sad that this is the calibre we have in cabinet.

    • No one gives advice with more enthusiasm and less knowledge than an ignorant person and, too often, an educated person is someone who knows how to be ignorant “intelligently”. It’s all right to be ignorant about some things, but it’s ridiculous to make a career of it. John Rayoa

  5. Neckless kambwili has no brains! This is not street shouting where you attack personalities! Tell us what measures you have put in place so that Chagwa does not escape fro state house on fridays

  6. Neckless kambwili has no brains! This is not street shouting where you attack personalities! Tell us what measures you have put in place so that Chagwa does not escape fro state house on fridays

  7. If someone is smarter than you Mr Kambwili, it does not imply he/she is not pompous as you put it due to lack of analytical mind.

    • It’s people like you Chitutuma and CK who are so dull that you can’t see sense in what hh is saying. CK and you are the tribalists who are so bitter in all you say. Viva HH

  8. BA KAMBWILI, YOU ARE WASTING YOUR TIME TALKING ABOUT THE SELF PROCLAIMED “BEST MAN FOR ZAMBIA”. HE IS ONLY BEST IN HIS OWN ‘WORLD’. WE NEVER HEARD HIS VOICE WHEN PRIVATISATION WAS BEEN MISMANAGED OR WAS IT BECAUSE HE WAS STILL BEEN FED PORRIDGE AT THE TIME (I MEAN UNDER 5)?

  9. KAMBWILIS PERFORMANCE WAS MEDIOCRE AT BEST AND INTENTIONALLY MISLEADING AT WORSED. KAMBWILI ERRONEOUSLY USED AN EXAMPLE OF THE MALAWIAN KWACHA AND ITS PERFORMANCE IN AN ATTEMPT TO DEFEND THE PERFORMANCE OF THE ZAMBIAN KWACHA. KAMBWILI FORGETS THAT MONETARY UNITS ARE ALSO MEASURED IN BASE UNITS. THE KWACHA WAS REBASED AND BASICALLY IN LAY TERMS WHAT WE DID WAS MAKE IT A LITTLE MORE MANAGEABLE BY REDUCING THE UNIT MAGNITUDE. THE MALAWIAN KWACHA BY COMPARISON WAS NOT. KAMBWILI SHOWED HIS SHALLOW APPROACH TO ANALYSIS BY TRYING IN VAIN TO DISCREDIT THE REPORT OF THE EIZ. THE EFFECTS OF LOAD SHEDDING COULD HAVE BEEN MITIGATED BY PROPER PLANNING. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, KAMBWILI NEEDS A LESSON INTHE TENETS OF DDEMOCRACY. THE OPPOSITION IS NOT A CHEERLEADING WING OF GOVERNMENT THEY ARE THERE TO…

    • PROVIDE CHECKS AND BALANCES. KAMBWILI TRIESTO BE THE LOUDEST ALFA CHARACTER AND YET HE HAS VERY LITTLE SUBSTANCE IN HIS UTTERANCES. BARELY A COUPLE OF DAYS AFTER LUNGU TRIED TO EXPRESS SOME CONFIDENCE IN KAMBWILI AS CHIEF GOVERNMENT SPOKESMAN KAMBWILI COMES OUT BLASTING NONSENSE TO THE WORLD IN THE ATMOST OF EMBARRASSING FASHIONS. HONOURABLE NKOMBO RAISED SOME VERY GOOD POINTS TO WHICH KAMBWILI AS EXPECTED FAILED TO ADEQUATELY ADDRESS. KAMBWILIS DISMISSIVE STYLE OF LEADERSHIP IS NOT HELPING LUNGU OR THE PF. TOO BAD HE IS THE SPOKESMAN OTHERWISE HE IS BEST TOLD TO KEEP QUIET AND STOP EMBARRASSING GOVERNMENT

  10. Kashimba chimbwili, its common knowledge that the Bank of Zambia Governor is working with people like you……., you know what I mean, he has no free platform to put his knowledge to full capacity either for the benefit of the country. If the current Bank of Zambia Governor tried to put his well and credibly acquired knowledge and expertise, you chimbwili will be one of the first to start and backing like mad dogs against the very educated man you are now pretending to be praising.

    JUST SHUT UP BABA

  11. Politicians should be realistic. By criticizing unrealistically they plant an impression in people’s minds that this country will be a land of gold, milk and honey under their leadership. This makes citizens become lazy, too expectant and live under the illusion that government should provide magical solutions to every situation. In effect setting their own trap. Why neglect the effect of low rainfall on the amount of hydro electric power generated when this is a regional problem??

  12. KAMBWILI IS ONE OF THE MOST USELESS INDIVIDUALS ZAMBIA HAS EVER PRODUCED. FIRST AND FOREMOST, KAMBWILI’S ENGLISH IS STINKING. SECONDLY, WHY IS KAMBWILI INSULTING HICHILEMA (HH) FOR HAVING SOLD HIS IDEAS ON HOW ZAMBIA’S ECONOMY CAN BE RESTORED, OR HOW PREVENTATIVE MEASURES SHOULD HAVE BEEN PUT IN PLACE TO PROTECT THE KWACHA FROM THE FREE FALL. KAMBWILI CALL HH TRIBAL, YET HH IS HEADING A PARTY WHICH IS ALL INCLUSIVE, AND EVERY TRIBE IS REPRESENTED IN UPND. WHAT IS THIS LUNATIC TALKING ABOUT? KAMBWILI HIMSELF IS TRIBAL. WE ALL KNOW THAT HE HATES SOME TRIBES, ESPECIALLY TONGA, AS IF HE IS SPECIAL TO TONGAS. LOOK AT HOW UGLY KAMBWILI LOOKS. EXACTLY LIKE A FROG! THIS FOOL SHOULD STOP ACCUSING OTHERS OF BEING TRIBAL. WE ALL RESPECT HH BECAUSE HE IS TALKING ON OUR BEHALF TO EXPRESS OUR…

  13. Listening to Mr Kambwili on HH was getting vitriol at its highest caustic concentration. Mr Kambwili has the title of honorable before his name BUT with his kind of language, one is left to wonder if the word honorable has an opposite of its intended meaning in the Zambian usage.
    On the issue of tribalism, Mr Kambwili had better learn that this is a tired and boring issue. On the point of Hakainde criticizing PF, Mr Kambwili had better learn the adage that “if it gets too hot in the kitchen, get the hell out”. Politics is a school; a school of hard knocks and Kambwili himself dishes hard knocks out by being very brash, coarse and totally devoid of decorum in the way he deals with others.
    Yours truly

  14. INDEED ZAMBIA HAS NO LEADERSHIP AT ALL. KAMBWILI IS ONE OF THE MOST USELESS INDIVIDUALS ZAMBIA HAS EVER PRODUCED. FIRST AND FOREMOST, KAMBWILI’S ENGLISH IS STINKING. SECONDLY, WHY IS KAMBWILI INSULTING HICHILEMA (HH) FOR HAVING SOLD HIS IDEAS ON HOW ZAMBIA’S ECONOMY CAN BE RESTORED, OR HOW PREVENTATIVE MEASURES SHOULD HAVE BEEN PUT IN PLACE TO PROTECT THE KWACHA FROM THE FREE FALL. KAMBWILI CALL HH TRIBAL, YET HH IS HEADING A PARTY WHICH IS ALL INCLUSIVE, AND EVERY TRIBE IS REPRESENTED IN UPND. WHAT IS THIS LUNATIC TALKING ABOUT? KAMBWILI HIMSELF IS TRIBAL. WE ALL KNOW THAT HE HATES SOME TRIBES, ESPECIALLY TONGA, AS IF HE IS SPECIAL TO TONGAS. LOOK AT HOW UGLY KAMBWILI LOOKS. EXACTLY LIKE A FROG! THIS FOOL SHOULD STOP ACCUSING OTHERS OF BEING TRIBAL. WE ALL RESPECT HH BECAUSE HE IS…

  15. FROG FROG FROG FROG. ZAMBIA HAS STOOPED SO LOW. IMAGINE THE LEADERSHIP VACUUM IN PF. FROGS GIVEN LEADERSHIP POSITIONS TO MANAGE HUMAN BEINGS AND IMPROVE THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE! ZAMBIA IS DOOMED WITH SUCH STEREOTYPED CREATURES AS THIS ONE BEING GIVEN THE MANTLE OF POWER TO MANAGE THE AFFAIRS OF OUR LAND. THIS ANIMAL IS THE ONE WHICH IS HIGHLY TRIBAL, BUT IT IS BUSY POINTING AN ACCUSING FINGER AT AN INNOCENT ZAMBIAN WHOM WE ARE USING AS MOUTH PIECE TO SPELL OUT THE EVIL THESE LOOTERS ARE DOING. TO HELL WITH YOU LOOTERS. VIVA HH VIVA! VIVA UPND VIVA!

  16. LOOK AT THE TYPE OF EROTTEN ENGLISH KAMBWILI IS USING. ILLITERATE INDEED! CAN A NATION DEVELOP WITH SUCH JUNK LEADERSHIP? TO HELL WITH YOU KAMBWILI. LEAVE OUR HICHILEMA(HH) ALONE. ZAMBIA FORWARD WITH UPND AND HH!

  17. LOOK AT THE TYPE OF ROTTEN ENGLISH KAMBWILI IS USING. ILLITERATE INDEED! CAN A NATION DEVELOP WITH SUCH JUNK LEADERSHIP? TO HELL WITH YOU KAMBWILI. LEAVE OUR HICHILEMA(HH) ALONE. ZAMBIA FORWARD WITH UPND AND HH!

  18. Blablabla….
    What is the end result of the infrastructure development? More debt than MMD and Unip put together

  19. With ministers like this, is it any wonder that the country is in the state it is today? A minister who couldn’t even allow callers to finish asking their questions before answering and he hijacked the entire program and couldn’t even let the moderator ask questions. How uncouth of him to behave the way he did today during the “Let the people talk” program. HH behaved so professionally last week, the disparity between the two is so obvious.

  20. I was shocked by Kambwili’s reasoning. He said: “my small niece in nursery school knows that load-shedding is due to low water levels, and she asked me, so if the rain won’t come then load-shedding will continue? Now if a small child can be reasonable and know that, what about the self-acclaimed economist?”

  21. What we expected your goverment to do, Hon Kambwili, in the face of these challenges, was to cut-down on the size of delegations moving with the president (and for the president to move only when it is necessary) and to suspend the split of ministries. We also expect you to implement other measures such as reducing the number of deputy ministers and cut down cabinet ministers’ salaries/allowances and movements. With these and other similar measures people will take you seriously

  22. I have never heard HH showing off. This is one of the nicest guys around. The problem in Zambia is that , locusts such as kashimba chimbwili do not want to be corrected even if they have brain deficiency. They do not accept constructive criticism. They think Zambians are stupid. Another locust called chikwanda was saying the economy is okay going by the number oh vehicles on the streets of Lusaka. Kashimba must emulate the likes of VJ at the information ministry. Not just BARKING like he has rabies.

  23. I can never vote for HH as long as he does not acknowledge some of the successes of PF as a basis for any future development. To me anyone who does not build or departs from that pathway deserves none of my votes. Politicians should learn to criticize progressively and build on the strengths of other while correcting the weakneses identified. People in Zambia have seen what PF has done in four years and HH can not claim or refuse to acknowledge any of these. It means he will lead us into darkness.

    • Economic manager, are you not ashamed of yourself. Just in these comments count how many agree with HH and how many agree with your Chishimba and you? You have lost it baba.

    • sometimes I wonder… are we leaving in the same Zambia, we can clearly see that the PF government has failed and yet we refuse to accept!!!!!… anyway in every crisis there is always someone benefiting. I guess that’s you Economic Manager

  24. Reading what CK said, there was more anger. Emotional, annoyance in what he was saying. May be you are also a pompous politician. Yaaaba

    • Tukamona next year Ba UPND ba social media voters.brace for more disappointments.This time you will not be given the luxury iyakuyumfwas ati our votes were stolen

  25. This guy gets paid from tax payers money? seriously? This gorilla is really dumb and talks without thinking! How do you continue comparing your economic problems with SA? Doesnt this Copperstone graduate know that South Africa exports a lot of products and the depreciation of their currency wont have the same effects on our economies? The more he opens his mouth the more people see how stupid and clueless this Govt of fools. So you will wait for other countries to find solutions to their problems and then copy from them? NAUSEATING!

  26. Dr Katema Did Splendid As Minister Of Info, Never Attached Any One And Was Like A Public Relations Officer For The Govt, Well Mr Kabwili Read Today’s Post Newspaper On Chibamba Kanyama’s Contribution And See If U Can Pick Any Sense,

  27. AGONY.
    Kambwili goes on radio and repeats the word PUNDIT several times thinking he is insulting HH when in the actual fact, he is praising HH.

    Ba Kambwili, Pundit means:

    1. a learned person, expert, or authority.
    2. a person who makes comments or judgments, especially in an authoritative manner; critic or commentator.

    Again you have failed when you wanted to outshine HH

  28. Chishimba Kambwili,the arrogant PF regime Propaganda Chief,should know that no amount of insults will denigrate HH.The PF’s failed policies will make people to reject it at the polls in 2016.
    Every right-thinking Zambian now knows that Kambwili is a maniac.

  29. My favorite part of the interview was when he used his Copperstone Degree to say the Kwacha is not the worst performing currency because the Malawi Kwacha is at 500 to a dollar while the Kwacha was at 12 to a dollar. I started laughing and ended up crying. So we expect people with such little understanding of how currencies work to solve our problems. The man needs to go back to school. Our problem as Zambians is in promoting mediocrity and our Information minister showed exactly that today.

  30. I know I descend from apes and do resemble them. I doubt if Kambwili comes from where I come from. Hmm, nothing ape(ish) in his looks……just saying

  31. Kambwili must have drank from the same pot that Mulenga Sata drank from. Sata thinks the ‘bloated’ civil servant has caused a black hole on the budget or he meant red…well Mr. Sata if your Government could get rid of half the Deputy Ministers and Ministers, DCs, PS etc. we would make a large saving. As for Kambwili without fiscal discipline(sorry the expenditure side of Government like your sitting allowances or fuel allowances) the monetary side (sorry the money issues under the Governor) are really a non-starter. Lastly you guys live corruption but not too worry next year all your properties including the ones on the golf course will be forfeited never mind the noisy cars you are racing around in now that you are going through midlife crisis…enjoy whilst you can 2016 fast…

  32. “Which power station gets construstructed within four years?” asked the “intelligent” kambwili.
    “Even my four-year old niece knows ….” Really? What an intelligent lot these kambwilis are.
    “This man is just a pompous and good for nothing tribalist …” says kambwili. Where did that come from? This is a typical question of some utensil calling the other black.
    “Our current Bank of Zambia Governor is probably one of the best in Africa but he has failed to arrest the depreciation….”, claimed the “knowledgeable kambwili. What a way to commend a country’s central bank governor. This habit of claiming that what we have is the best in Africa can only be swallowed by semi-illiterates, the likes of Kamwili. There have been claims that UNZA library building is one of the best in…

  33. Four years now, pf has failed to construct a road of good quality between Kitwe and Ndola because of corruption and giving jobs to cadres. This is what HH was challenging you about- Poor quality jobs’. Right now the same road as one gets to ndola is being scrapped off because of shoddy works. The main Luanshya rd has so many potholes just under 4yrs of construction. Poor roadworks are costing the country…2016 Pf OUT!

  34. Honestly does the President of Zambia not know what damage has and is being done by his uneducated minister of information? Please Mr president spare us this embarrassment we do not deserve this your minister of information simply has no brains even children who listen to him on the radio are laughing, you as the appointing authority is being blamed.

  35. Honorable Kambwili, I can assure you that if the economy of Zambia/cost of living(basic food) will not reduce, your are out of Government in 2016 regardless of how much you hate HH, he will oust you and that will be the end of your PF. Take my advise or leave it. Your tribal song is no longer reasonating among Zambians. Youths of Zambia are registering to vote in large numbers to remove you from power due to failed economy. Your show on radio phoenix today has done more damage to you personally and at a larger scale to your PF Govt. It was a disaster of PR.

  36. chikalikumubaba after last weeks 10 – 0 thumping its a pity he came back to expose his ignorance on radio once more shame a chimbwili izakupayani B.P

  37. Kambwili is just one of the most useful and yet useless PF political demagogic chap. what’s this tribal nonsense he usually preaches?

    • What you call “…this tribal nonsense he usually preaches…” is a short version of PF manifesto for next general election

  38. “Even non Economists know that what Zambia is going through is as a result of external shocks but you have Economic pundits here cheating the Zambia people that the depreciation of the Kwacha is due to PF’s poor policies. These pundits like Mr Hichilema are lying with open teeth.’ .. But our Finance Minister just said the Economy is doing well as evident by country traffic. So the economy doing well or is it struggling. make up your minds PF.

  39. Comment:kambwili is the most stupid politician the country have ever had.always talking tribe tribal but himself is the tribalist.radio phoenix don’t intertain to host the baboon again,this is too much

  40. @ENGINEER
    EVEN UNZA RECORDS SHOW WHO IS INTELLEGENT BETWEEN CHAGWA & HH! ASK KABIMBA HE WILL TELL YOU EVEN AMIDST HIS FRUSTRATIONS THAT CHAGWA IS INTELLEGENT! HE WILL NOT HIDE THAT FACT.

  41. The only person debating sensibly is Peace Maker. I only wish we had even two, of his calibre on this forum, it would make debating interesting. Check the above comments and judge for yourself, it’s really a shame.

  42. You may hate him but Kambwili provided facts rather than someone I know who could not provide 3 short term solutions to questions he was asked

  43. Hon. Kambwili is spot on due to the following;KACHEMAS get me clearly;
    (1) Your Freemason portrays a’ I know it all syndrome’,which is not gud for one aspiring to the office of president because thats a dictatorial tendency.
    (2) He prides in ELITICISM;i.e he only attracts or appeals to the minority rich and educated.
    (3) TRIBALISM; Besides this tribal tag on him,ETHNICITY or REGIONALISM is also exposed by the composition of his inner circle.
    (4) His attention to detail attitude as regards POLITICAL & ECONOMICAL issues reduces his CV From presidential matterial to a TECHNOCRAT or MICROECONOMIC manager at MOF.
    (5) His deliberate opposite stance on straight forward national issues like loadshedding, dollar rate,prayers etc paints him in bad light. The above mentioned factors tells…

  44. Peace keeper, I agree with you. Both kambwili and HH are leaders in our society but one doez not see any keadership at all in their tirades. I am particularly worried if one of these two is aspiring for President of Zambia next year. They need to be schooled in civilised manners in the next 5 years before they are ready for high office.

  45. All the more reason why we need the prayer day, too much hatred from both masketeers and yet they want to lead this country.

    As for Hon HH, you mean to say up to now he does not understand a simple thing like low water levels in the dams causing load shedding? So how does he think hydro electricity is generated? From a water tap? What a shame the amount of people’s time a leader can waste!

  46. Lungu is a smart President. Though his winning the presidency while destroying these Kambwilis and Simusas is destroying Zambia a little too. If he replaces the lot today, we shall vote for him. Please cage kambwili and Chama.

    Viva President Lungu.

  47. Mr. Chishimba Kambolo. How are you sir and how’s your visionless boss, i mean Jameson Chagwa? I would like to find out from you sir, why you look like a Baboon. No wonder you have manners like a Baboon. HH is our great leader in Barotseland. VOTE HH VOTE UPND in 2016.

  48. KAMBWILI? DO YOU THINK YOU ARE IN A ONE PARTY STATE? THE OPPOSITION IS THERE TO CRITICISE THE WRONGS OF A RULING PARTY. CAN YOU NOT SPEAK ANYTHING SENSIBLE ABOUT THE ECONOMY FOR EXAMPLE AND WHAT YOU AND YOUR PARTY PLAN TO DO TO CLEAN UP THE MESS YOU HAVE CREATED. YOU ALWAYS SAY H.H IS TRIBLE. I HAVE NEVER HEARD HIM SPEAK ONE WORD FAVOURING HIS TRIBE. CHANGE YOUR CAMPAIGN GIMMICK OF TRIBALISM. EMPTY VESSELS LIKE YOU MAKE THE MOST NOISE.

  49. HH and his sponsored few bafoons will be defeated massively again in 2016. Why? Because it is very clear that HH and the UPND have no plan and immediate, short and medium solutions to temporal challenges Zambia is facing today. If indeed HH was a genius he could have suggested those solutions to the PF and everyone could have believed him. But what do we hear from him, lies and half truths. The man is a chance but in today’s politics there is no room for chances. ECL are practical in their actions and we are experiencing massive development despite the current challenges.
    It’s choose what you know and not empty promises.

    • And if we where to “…choose what you know…”, have guess what will we choose? Bunch of corrupt criminals or law obeying Zambians? Bunch of godless hypocrites or sober and successful individuals? Bunch of certified lying BUFFOONS or trustworthy “…bafoons…”?
      Somehow I prefer law obeying, sober, successful and trustworthy “…bafoons…” over corrupt godless hypocrites laying BUFFOONS.

  50. ITS SAD TO NOTE THAT WE STILL HAVE DELUSIONAL INDIVIDUALS THAT WILLOW IN ABSOLUTE DENIAL. HOW CAN ONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND SAY THAT LUNGU AND THE PF HAVE DONE ANYTHING GOOD FOR ZAMBIA DESPITE THE INSURMOUNTABLE EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY. PRICE OF MEALIE MEAL IS UP, COST OF FUEL UP. LOAD SHEDDING, STANDARD OF HEALTHCARE AND EDUCATION ALL SHOWING DOWNWARD TREND. CORRUPTION IN BROAD DAY LIGHT. KWACHA LOSING VALUE . NOTHING WORKING WELL AND YOU HAVE PEOPLE SUPPORTING SUCH A GOVERNMENT? KEKEKEKE HOW LOW WILL FALL BEFORE WE WAKE UP? THIS GOVERNMENT IS A DISASTER! !!!!!!!

  51. Lungu is a coward who can’t fire or discipline anyone. Ati alikwata ‘humility’ what nonsense! Young graduates and everyone coming out of college, my advise is; if you continue with lungu you will never see employment. Pf will do you a donch kubeba! Come 2016, vote for somebody who is focused and ready to help the youths and not someone who is there to enjoy himself and line his pockets with ill gotten wealth! Strong warning! Don’t vote for Lungu and perpetuate your problems!

  52. And his weak lazy bum of a boss says he is doing a great job…surely who in their right mind would even pray with such hypocrites who do not understand what a democracy is…this is a disgrace. Next time this BUFFOON will think twice about calling in a radio programme.

  53. Iwe ****** Kambwili use the sh****t intelligence you have with your ugly face and fight HH intellectually not like this, you are exposing just what a stuupid ***** you have always been.

  54. Failure to reason breeds insults. Its unfortunate that we have leaders that can insult with impunity and without shame. Our country will have uncultured citizens in a few years time with such characters at the helm of power. Zambia can do better than this.

  55. Some people are *****s. I think president Muliokela is better off than this baboon. Who appointed this good for nothing gorilla. I think the devil is better than you. These are the same *****s who need prayers than anyone else. PLEASE GOD LET THIS BABOON GO BACK INTO THE FOREST.

  56. It’s very true HH is so pompous and he thinks he knows everything like there are no other Zambians who are more educated than him. Icishika cilakalipa tell him Kambwili

    • @ Mwiponta Mukabwela, You call anyone who can articulate himself very well “Pompous? Echo muponena nama interviews, wake up you have to sell yourself and that’s what HH does, dunderheads! Why am I even trying to reason with retards?? I’m going to sleep!

    • That kind of reasoning is mostly found in angry exchanges of the poor in high density residential areas. And among kaponyas. Come to think of it, a good number of those in the current government are mere kaponyas. So they have brought the bus stop language to government. How unfortunate!

  57. The hatred and selfishness in Kambwili is Evil. Very evil. He. Behaves like a demon. A fat demon. Any politician who tries to divide the country by accusing the innocent of tribalism is a demon planting confusion among God’s people. Go to Rwanda and see the effects of the seed you are planting. God will curse you and your descendants if you continue. Repent and let your works campaign for you.

  58. Mr CK you promised us a constitution in 90 days and “more money in your pockets ” within 90 days. You might have forgotton, but we voters remember these things.

    Now you are promising us 500,000 jobs by next year.

    With those magic feats, a power plant within 4 months should be a joke for you. You might not even need 4 years !!!!

    Bring HH face to face on your radio show and tackle him head on like the leopard you say you are.

  59. The caliber of our leaders.
    Our leaders are a reflection of our goals and ambitions.

    We elected these people into office – this is what we deserve.

    Perhaps next time, we will vote based on facts, rather than songs. Donchi Kudabwa.

    Seriously, guys, this politics of mud slinging and claiming that one’s feces does not smell is the reason we are at the bottom of the food chain. Let us pick one goal per year, stick with it and see it done.
    Year one – New Constitution Implemented – makes government officials accountable so they do their work.
    Year two – Revamp Agricultural effort – silos and millers in all provinces. No one starves, food is plenty and cheap.
    Year three – Revise the entire education syllabus to include entrepreneur and innovation classes from the get go. Adopt…

    • You are almost right. Instead of having the head size of the nail, kambwili brain is a size of nail head and having same capability of thinking as nail head. Almost like you.

  60. Unnecessary side-shows and name-calling will never deliver even a square meal to a deserving Zambian. Lets learn to be top perfomers as opposed to being great talkers.

  61. This stupid talk of calling other tribes names must come to an end. We are sick and tired of using the tribe tag as a way to divert attention from real issues. Is this the only weapon these maggots like Kambiwili have to use against HH for people not to vote for him. It was he stole money thru privatization now that they are the biggest thieves thru road construction. They keep quite.
    How many Bembas can speak Tonga or Lozi? Very few because they consider them to be low tribes. But How many Lozis, Tongas, Kaondas can speak Bemba?
    How many Bembas are in Diplomatic service, Cabinet Office, Permanent Secretaries, etc 80% who are the tribalism.
    Lets check ourselves before we call others names. Why hang onto us if you call us names

    • KAMBWILI 100 PERCENT CORRECT HH IS A TWIT AND ARROGANT MAN WHO EVALUATED ZAMBIAN COMPANIES AND HAS BIG SHARES FROM THE SAME COMPANIES.
      WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? IT SIMPLY MEANS THAT HE UNDER VALUED THEM SO THAT HE COULD BUY THEM THIS IS COMMON SENSE AND MAKES HIM A THIEF

  62. Hahahaha- talk about showing up for a race on Tuesday when it was run on Monday. Kambwili missed his chance to debate HH and HH won not based on detail but based on level-headedness. At times, this is all you need as a leader.

    • both are emotional and tend to belittle others, both would not be ideal candidates they need to be under someone else not the overall.

  63. And this is the so called government spokesperson who is calling for reconciliations. May God answer you accordingly…

  64. KAMBWILI 100 PERCENT CORRECT HH IS A TWIT AND ARROGANT MAN WHO EVALUATED ZAMBIAN COMPANIES AND HAS BIG SHARES FROM THE SAME COMPANIES.
    WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? IT SIMPLY MEANS THAT HE UNDER VALUED THEM SO THAT HE COULD BUY THEM THIS IS COMMON SENSE AND MAKES HIM A THIEF.
    LET US TALK ABOUT DANGOTE HE IS A MAN AND HAS MONEY AND HIS IMPACT CAN BE FELT, CEMENT COSTS HAVE GONE DONE.
    WHAT IS IT THAT HH HAS DONE FOR THIS COUNTRY?????

  65. For a so called government spokesperson, the mediocrity being exhibited by this man is beyond belief. Even more surprising is “Mr Jameson” this is his best for the job!

  66. @ JAMES PHIRI
    you are very right, HH evaluated the Livingstone Hotel and became a share holder of the same Hotel, this is against morality.

  67. @JAMES PHIRI
    you are very right, HH evaluated the Livingstone Hotel and became a share holder of the same Hotel, this is against morality.

    • And you reckon HH has such powers that if he did anything wrong no one would follow him up? I am changing my mind about this HH, he’s fit to be a president! My vote is on him, he commands a lot of respect. He sold mines alone, no one followed him up, he sold a hotel no one followed him up! He’s an amazing man!

  68. “Even non Economists know that what Zambia is going through is as a result of external shocks but you have Economic pundits here cheating the Zambia people that the depreciation of the Kwacha is due to PF’s poor policies. These pundits like Mr Hichilema are lying with open teeth.’ .. But our Finance Minister just said the Economy is doing well as evident by country traffic. So the economy doing well or is it struggling. make up your minds PF.

  69. Do not argue with a fool because people will not know the difference. So by deduction if Hon Kambwili is a fool what does that make Hon Hakainde?

  70. CK attacked the following in his interview:
    1. Benard Chiwala (EIZ) – that he is bitter because his been denied a job prospect by ECL
    2. Christin (Radio Phoenix)- she has a problem of not wanting to hear what he (CK) wanted to present.
    3. Radio Phoenix – that they only pick calls from the opposition UPND people like Proud.
    5. Koilad – because of accent that its obvious he comes from a certain political party.
    6. Radio Phoenix staff-
    7. Hon. Garry Nkhombo- that he likes misleading the nation.
    8. Baluba mine Chinese investors- they are full of deception because the first its because of electricity that they retrenched workers.
    9. HH- pompus tribalist whom he refereed to as a “pundit”
    10. BOZ governor (indirect attack) the best brain in Africa but has failed to manage the kwacha.

  71. A pundit (sometimes also called a talking head) is a person who offers to mass media their opinion or commentary on a particular subject area (most typically political analysis, the social sciences, technology or sport) on which they are knowledgeable (or can at least appear to be knowledgeable), or considered a scholar in said area. The term has been increasingly applied to popular media personalities.[1] In certain cases, it may be used in a derogatory manner as well, as the political equivalent of ideologue.
    PF spokesperson please be honourable

  72. The truth is often unpalatable but…it is still the truth. Chishimba Kabwili is spot on!

    I think the man (HH) is a trifle DELUDED and has an over inflated idea of his own importance. This guy is so full of himself and his arrogance is limitless. The arrogance of this man (HH) is surpassed only by the stup!d1ty of UPND cadres.

  73. HH lacks what Sata,Chiluba,Mwanawasa and RB had to go to plot one. If you want something look at your past attempts and work on your flows..then plot one will be yours.nobody votes objectively in zambia so change your approach bwana HH if you want plot 1.am sure even your upnd supporters don’t know the parties manifesto……blacks usually look at the person before looking at the manifesto.look at how Lungu amassed votes within a short period….just because he weeped at a funeral. look at the nonsense happening now,how can everything happening in the country be attributed to external shocks???aren’t they the same guys who reversed the mining tax issue…..if mining firms were forced to keep there proceeds in zambian banks(even for a fe days) do you think the kwacha could have…

    • Sata was the worst president, tribalist of the highest order. Thanks to him we have useless Bembas running ministries everywhere which ECL is trying to correct! Don’t compare him with LPM, please!

    • you are right….he has to come down to the level of electorates, should understand the voting pattern of these people. I was shocked when I heard one of UPND campaign in some village, really can you go and talk about fiscal policy in the village… play dirty just like PF is doing or else I can assure you come 2016 PF will still be in government

    • Naomi please…we past that stage !!that’s why a white man will always laugh. when you go overseas you cry of racism but yet you can’t leave in peace with a fellow black man. all this tribe rubbish should come to an end …am kindly asking, play your part and lets stop this.

    • Naomi please…. we are past that rubbish. a white man will laugh, when you go overseas you cry of racism but yet you can’t even leave with your fellow black man. this should come to an end and an kindly asking you to play your part

  74. Let us not FEAR PRIDE of others,but FEAR PRIDE IN OURSELVES. Certainly Let us not FEAR HATRED in others,but FEAR HATRED in ourselves. Kambwili`s failure to see hatred in himself only in HH has surely reaveled him for what he is -AN EMPTY TIN. Man HH has shown us his BRAINS on LIVE public media,by the way thanks to you. Now show us your brains in the remaining time you have at hand as Minister_GOSH!!!!!.Remember you(Kambwili), ECL others SATA called you USELESS and now we know why.

  75. The word tr.bali,sm will be used for as long as you don’t stop your tri.ba.lis.m. Tongas, you are practicing openely through different ways eg through your Party , through employing Tongas only or majority eg at ECZ, Stanbic you name it. So you will always be called tri.balists which you are.

  76. Hahaha! I knew Kambwili was itching to insult HH after he exposed his ignorance! The man is brilliant and no one no matter how much they hate him for it can take that away from him. And all you HH haters all because he’s better than the people you support should know that he was created the same God and GOD LOVES HH. Next year the number of people who hate HH will be fewer and they will not count. God will surely see him through to Plot One! Hypocrites and you think God can listen to your one day prayers on 18 October with such hatred in your hearts!! Nonsense!!

  77. the coming election will not be different with the January 20 2015 where HH won on the medias through opinion polls as well as 90% of bloggers supports him

  78. Kambwili attacked all the best educated people in Zambia.
    Where does his comment leave Bank of Zambia Governor who he said has failed?
    So Kambwili was indirectly attacking bank of Zambia Governor?
    He was also informing the public that the appointing authority has failed.
    He provided more ammunition to the opposition to attack pf.
    May I ask, was his bank of Zambia governor failure statement relevant in his defence against failure accusation by hh? Is hh also a bank of Zambia governor?
    Kambwili must think before talking.
    He must stand at areas where they have achieved something to repel opposition attacks.
    The fact is that pf has failed, that is why things are bad. They promised to fix everything in 90 days.
    Is it wrong to remind them?
    Water level at kariba not so bad. Com n…

  79. Kambwili is right.These tribalists are good for nothing.They yap yap everywhere on social media as if they are the only ones who have done degrees in economics.Abash UPND !

  80. its pointless to say there shall be reconciliation and forgiveness in this country as long as people like kamwili are allowed to speak nosense like the way they yapa each time they think they are trying to convince the people they have lost. any one knows how useless pf is from bottom to the top. why calling others tribalist when you are the worst who doesnt know that even a chines living in zambia knows that.

  81. One thing true, Kambwili the empty Vessel can call HH all sorts of names, but the truth of the matter is that PF under LUNGU has failed to perform, even the common pesson who never went to school to study economics is able to see. Empty Vessel Kambwili is just being emotional for nothing and in the process he ends up SINNING by insulting his colleagues. Empty Vessel Kambwili, did you know that you are exposing your Ignorance to everyone by always basing your argument on HH being tribalist. You are actually a sick man, for it has been researched that those who rush into insulting and slapping names on others a do that due to lack of reasoning that fails them.

  82. Ba ‘SO CALLED PEACE KEEPER” how possible is it that an opposition leader can give solutions to the party in power?

    Be realistic ‘suntwe’ iwe….

  83. Kambwili your reasoning is so show shallow one can actually dig it up with a shavel.

    HH served you some grey matter and nothing went through your thick head

  84. Satan worshipers are the only ones who can be against praying together as Zambians.Don’t overate yourself even if you are luck to be blessed with some cow dung.All riches belong to God and we need to be humble before him.

  85. Kabwili u are right HH is not a presidential type but zam business/connman who wants to buy mines using anglo america comp to buy mines.take DANGOTE ROUT IF U WANT TO HELP ZED.WE ARE FEEDUP OF U AND YO TRICKS WHICH ARE MAKING AS SUFER MORE.

  86. You Refused To Attend Prayer & Fasting Now U Want To Have A Devils Night Mid Night On 18 th With Yo Party.To All Churches Including Seventh Day Should Attend To Prove They Want To Promote Unity In The Nation and are not part of the
    =take care people are watching u.
