Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr Chishimba Kambwili says his recent achievement of being bestowed with a doctorate degree is a result of hard work.
Dr Chishimba who is also Member of Parliament for Roan constituency in Luanshya has since dedicated his award to the people of Roan constituency.
He said it the people of Roan that he was given the rare opportunity to serve them as Member of Parliament.
“Born and raised in Luanshya. I walked 24km per day to go to school, born in a family of 13 our lives were far from luxurious, I had to labour for school when I could have gotten a job in the mines like everyone else, I believed school was the pathway to success,” Dr Kambwili said.
He added, “I turned our servant’s quarters into a classroom and tutored my peers in various subjects as a way of earning money and Sharing my knowledge. Against all odds I finished my grade 12 with flying colours.”
Dr Kambwili said Roan constituency gave him the chance to show his hard work adding that he has promised the people that that he would be a different candidate particularly one that is open and readily available.
“I aim to continue in this vein because that is my nature, I want to work hard and achieve. In this light I would like to announce that we have found resources to rehabilitate a further 12km of road in the constituency,” he said.
Dr Kambwili said the contractor will work on the Roan-Mpatamatu Road and touch up the road that leads to town.
“For Roan residents this is good news as I have delivered what I had promised.”
Dr Kambwili was bestowed with the doctorate degree along with six other Zambians during the California University FCE’S awarding ceremony at Pamodzi Hotel in Lusaka on Sunday.
California University Council Member Truly Bush presented the award to Dr. Kambwili.
Professor Bush said the award is based on the contribution Dr. Kambwili has made to communities in his personal capacity and as a politician.
The University has recognized that Dr. Kambwili has managed to pay for individuals from Grade 8 up to University adding that he managed to complete the 90 Days Legacy Swimming Pool as planned and ensured that Zambia won the Africa Cup of Nations when he was Sports Minister.
This was during the 2016 impact Makers Achievers Doctoral Convocation under the theme” Cerebrating our Heroes who have impacted lives and carry their vision to the next generation”.
Others who have been awarded honorary doctorates are Rozious Siatwambo, Jobicks Kalumba, Emmanuel Sampa, Albert Nsonga, Nolobe Kuliye and George Sazambile.
Hate speeches promoter and tribalist Kambwili ,congratulations for dividing the nation.
Only a fool would think it is not genuine.
I do know it is, please wish the man well and move on.
He is not liked because he does his job and he is Bemba,I know we are the most powerful tribe but please give me a break.
COngratulations Doctor
Thanks

Enough of this crap already! The honorary degree does not relate to any work you did, past or present, Mr Chimbwi. It was bestowed on you as a result of the alleged political influence you have in Luanshya. Please stop praising yourself!
So are we to recognize his doctorate? Zuma was also awarded a doctorate by UNZA but it was never recognized in south africa and world over. Even in zambia it all faded just like that the following day after given a doctorate.
Everything about PF is bufi. He is not even ashamed by publicising a bought degree. That is what they are doing even with serious issues of governance and management of national resources. It is all concocted like Kambwili’s PhD. Without basis and evidence on the ground they are saying Zambia is doing very fine and has developed since they came into power.
Did Professor Bush obtain his professorship from Oxford Copper Thieves University in the UK?
#This is annoying now, LT, can you stop showing this corrupt tribalism ugly face on here otherwise we will petition the so called California University to withdraw this useless hon doctorate.
What criteria was used to even think of this name. This is a typical tribalist, a selfish corrupt copper thief, a tongue twister, hate speaker, a dictator who has his ugly crawls on ZNBC and other public media blacking out the opposition….who are these shallow California University mwebantu?? Lets petition them over this, not out of jealous but out of logic!
Zambia has indeed become a joke
Chishimba Kambwili has not told this site that he used to sing for the Oliya band .Watched by the then Gneral Manager for Nchanga Mine Shamutete ,he was offered a job a the Open Pits. He then moved to mining stores were he was made redundant .Records at Chingola Magistrates do indicate that he was involved in spates of crimes with his brother stealing copper cathodes from the mines for his scrap metal company which he set up at Mwaiseni . He was a dependant to wife and stayed in his wife’s house in Kabundi South.
If Kambwili was intelligent as he wants paint on this site, he would have gone to UNZA or CBU because when he completed grade twelve, people with division one or two were selected to study for a diploma or degree at these institutions . His selection for a doctorate is…
#Umuswema
Bwana could you finish undressing this publist hurgrgy bufforn…am loving your revelation….please finish him off. He wants to hoodwink the public to be intelligent when he has got a grade 12 division 3.
Zambian miracles will never cease to amaze lol……
By the way, i googled “California University”, could not find any …..
Only found “California of University” and “California University of Pennsylvania”
Just saying
KAMBWILI IS A PERFORMER. BUT, IF YOU ARE ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO BITTERLY HATE OTHERS BECAUSE OF THEIR ORIGIN OR THE CAMPS THEY ARE SERVING THEN YOU WILL NOT APPRECIATE KAMBWILI, NO MATTER HOW MANY TONES OF MOUNTAINS HE IS GOING MOVE FOR THE BENEFIT OF COMMON PEOPLE. I AM NO TALKING ABOUT HIS HONORARY DEGREE. ALTHOUGH EVEN THE PERSON OR GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO BESTOWED HIM WITH IT SIMPLY SAW IN KAMBWILI WHAT I HAVE JUST SAID. I AM TALKING ABOUT HIS ENERGY WHICH HE USES FOR THE BENEFIT OF COMMON PEOPLE. ALONG THOSE LINES, KAMBWILI IS A HARD WORKER.
Kwena eeh, pa Luanshya amimwenamo kambwili – ati kan twale ku batutu bandi!!
This is what happens when buffons are ruling the majority whom they think are all ILLITERATE – he thinks & believes Luanshya residents will all fall for his chicanery!! Well , you never know, he could be right – t will come to light on 11/8/2016 – if retained, we will have to believe Kambwili’s assertion, ati abena Luanshya batutu sana!!
Vote wisely 11/8/016!! Vote Zambia Forward!! Vote UPND!!
#chagwamustfall!! #PamaFI kuyabebele!!
I thank you!!
I suspect these honorary doctorates awarded by California University are coordinated by some Zambians living in LA. The University thinks by awarding outspoken politicians like Kambwili, they`ll attract enrolment interest from locals. Most of the small and unrecognized universities in the U.S are having hard to meeting enrolment targets for most of their programs, so they use honorary awards as part of the enrolment strategy. No class!
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE WERE SAYING. UNIVERISTY OF CALIFORNIA FCE IS NOT EVEN A UNIVERSITY. LOL LMAO .KEKEKEKE! THIS IS AN ORGANIZATION THAT ONLY CLAIMS THEY CAN EVALUATE “FORIEGN CREDIT EVALUATION” ( F.C.E).THEY ARE NOT EVEN GOOD AT DOING THA. INFACT MOST INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER LEARNING DONT EVEN ACCEPT THERE EVALUATIONS. THIS IS NOT A UNIVERISTY THEY DONT EVEN OFFER ANY ACCREDITED CLASSES. LOL THIS IS ALL A JOKE . PROBABLY JOKE OF THE DECADE. UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA FCE IS NOT A UNIVERSITY. LOL LMAO!!!!!
THIS IS A CON! Oh my God! How can a whole country be so gullible? Who is Professor Truly Bush?
The way to go Dr Kambwili
I guess it was hard work…this what our country’s leadership is now a joke….really laughable!!
Luanshya miners, the baboon is foooling you, kick im in the butt on August 11!
Heheheh…hahahahah…hehehhehe….yayayayaya….hmmmmm..for sure….ok ehhhhhhh eh!
Give praise where it is due. If people who do not live here can appreciate, what is difficult for the UPND? Always negative and living in denial.
Kikikikikiki, Luanshya say thank you! You will now be living in heaven………
yaba..what a dull background..that bush muzungu is a con..will people of luanshya eat the phd..!
California University FCE is fake.
Why was the ceremony at Pamodzi and not in America? A recognised university would hold such a ceremony at its base and it takes place at the normal graduation events.
Nine I am surprised Kambwili should have been honoured at the graduation ceremony of the University. Who has read his speech at the ceremony?
Honourable Dr. kambwili, a true son of Roan constituency in Luanshya. The people of Luanshya will vote PF!
Everyone knows that honorary degrees aren’t worth the used toilet paper they are printed on. Same quality as Doctor Vongo’s degree….
He says he finished his grade 12 with flying colours….uumm.When was this?considering his age.
Kambwili…please share both the website address and telephone number for California University.
Like accepting stolen goods….parading an item provided by a fake/unrecognised institution should also be a crime. So should wearing yellow while being a baboon

These Doctorates have really been cheapened with this latest addition after Cozmo and Kaingu. Something does not add up here. If Kambwili passed with flying colors, he should have gone to Unza or cbu on a grz bursary. What happened? More information required here.
This joke of a doctorate is nothing to sing home about. What we want is the real stuff with research, study and specialization Many people have done far better for society than this self praising donkey of a man and they have chosen to keep a low humble profile.
What a disgrace!!!!!
He is not a phucking doctor! He is a phat phucking e diot! What is wrong with these reporters? They are morons at best. This phat phool is using a public newspaper to promote himself….shamefull! Where is Lungu to muzzle this silver back?????
“Against all odds I finished my grade 12 with flying colours.” If he had passed with flying colours, why did he not go straight to UNZA because that is were he should have been? Where was he all this time and only came to do a correspondence course, when he became a minister,at Copperstone as a mature? Who is he fooling? No wonder this PF government is in dire strait.It is crystal clear this Kabwili is lazy and a dull buffoon. We do not have to see the evidence, but it is clear from the things he says and his desperate attempt to mask behind fake qualifications that he is a grade 12 failure.

I can’t even comment but just laugh. I think doctors of this world should come together and get this fake university de-registered. This is a misuse for the Dr title. Even Mumba both him and his brother should be striped of that title. These titles should be given to dignified people who can think and achieve things in their lives that have yielded solid results. Not a verbal diarrhoea professional failure ( PF) member who has contributed to damaged of the country and adds no value to the nation
Ati Dr.Kambwili! Dr. in what foolishness! Lol!
Ba UPND why are you so cooked up with Kambwili’s honourally degree? Whether it is fake or not the man was honoured for what he did as outlined by Mr Bush so leqave the man alone. It is a fact that he sunk and built that swimming pool in 90 days, it is a fact that Zambia won the Afcon cup when Kambwili was minister of sport so what is the fusss about! Congratulations Dr Kambwili.
Ati “Dr Kambwili”.Are you sure.I cant even recommend him for Kapaso.
I will go to bbc and proclaim myself a doctor since I speak good English.
Let’s hope someone won’t rename Luanshya town to Dr.Luanshya Wall Fence Mining City
@MANIX ALL PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO SAY IS THAT CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITY FCE IS NOT A UNIVERSITY. LOL THEY ARE NOT EVEN A SCHOOL. ITS LIKE ONE GETTING AN HONORARY DEGREE FROM SADC OR FAZ OR UNIP OR EVEN ZAMBIA VOICE OR YALI. THESE ARE JUST ORGANIZATIONS.LMAO KAMBWILI BA MULMA!!!!!! LOL
I think Kambwili is not stupid. Stupid people are those who will call him ‘Dr’ Kambwili. He is NOT a PhD holder. Those who have genuine PhD’s should raise an injunction to stop the abuse of the title DR.
What a clown….
Jealous down. Chishimba you deserve it. 2016 Ku kolopa nafuti.
What kind of a gown is this that leaves one looking like a cut paw paw fruit.
This man is a schizophrenic with delusions of grandeur. It is hard to believe that people in Zambia can even publish such crap. How did we end up here, with such trash as ministers?
CONGRATS HONOURABLE….
I’ve just bestowed an honorary doctorate on my dog for not barking last night and therefore disturbing my sleep.Its now called Dr Poppi. Its in the class of 2016 together with one “Dr” Kambwili.
@ Loadist, how can a university be an organisation like SADC? I have googled that school it exists so I dont know what you are talking about. Just let the man be if you have issues with that why not querry the University itself or hang yourself instead of disperaging an innocent man? Thats why we are saying that UPND have no issues to discuss to them anything connected to PF is rubbish, what warped thinking!.
KAMBWILI IS NOT STUPID A STUPID PERSON IS THE ONE WHO WILL BE CALLING HIM DR BECAUSE HE LUCKS UNDERSTANDING AND HE IS BLIND.
I guess we now need to distinguish who is the academic PHD and who is the Practical PHD. I propose we always put H before Dr for all Practical guys lik HDr. Kambwili to denote Honorary Dr. All African politicians are now getting PHDs for their hard work while the continent continues to reel in poverty. How much have these PHDs impacted on our people? Why then are we getting poorer when we are being led by achievers of such high caliber?. Getting an academic PHD is not a joke.You have to contribute NEW knowledge! What is there to learn from what our African political PHDs have done?
