Ministers are stealing from Zambians-Kabimba

Rainbow Party leader Wynter Kabimba has warned that cabinet ministers who have stayed in office after dissolution of Parliament will be made to pay back the funds from their pockets once PF leaves Government.

Mr Kabimba charged that President Edgar Lungu is misleading his Ministers with his simplistic interpretation of the new constitution on the situation of Ministers after Parliament is dissolved.

He said as a lawyer, his understanding is that Ministers seize to be such by virtue of losing their status as Members of Parliament.

Mr Kabimba was speaking on Wednesday afternoon when he featured on the Contender radio programme which was broadcast live on Hot FM and five other radio stations.

“I actually feel sorry for my brothers and sisters who have continued to serve as Ministers. Edgar (President Lungu) is misleading them by making wrong interpretations of the constitution to suit his desire that the Ministers continue abusing public resources,” Mr Kabimba said.

He added, “What is true is that even himself (Edgar) knows that these Ministers must vacate offices but he is doing this because he wants them to dip their pockets on state resources such as Government vehicles, allowances and fuel.”

Mr Kabimba said the civil service hand book is clear that such actions are tantamount to unlawful expenditure which should be paid back to the treasury.

“These Ministers will be asked to pay back all these monies using their pockets and Edgar will not be there to support them.”

And Mr Kabimba has revealed that the Rainbow Party will abolish the amended constitution if elected into office.

He said the amended constitution is a flawed document which should be trashed and replace with a new and credible constitution.

“Just take for instance the clause on the Grade 12 certificate. How do you have such a discriminatory clause because only 37 percent of Zambians have Grade 12 or higher education but you go ahead and create a clause that leaves out the majority of your citizens. Essentially, what you have created is a minority government, for the minority by the minority.”

  1. Satan, I raise my shield of faith and stand now to resist you with the Sword of the Holy Spirit that proclaims you as a false god and an accuser of brethren. I am a child of the living God. I proclaim that your works against HH are absolutely and utterly destroyed in Jesus name. I refuse and break the power of all curses, hexes, vexes spell, incantations, psychic power, works of witchcraft, voodoo, satanism, cultural spiritism, marine spirits, household wickedness, demonic evocations and mental manipulation sent to distract or destroy HH in the name of Jesus Christ. I refuse and resist all demonic arrows and bows of curses sent against HH from enemies. I command all those powers to go into everlasting bondage in Jesus name. I pull down and burn up all ungodly alters and shrines…

    • People of Zambia. Before you make a decision of who to vote for this coming August 2016 election among these presidential candidates, please take time to visit the health institutions of Zambia. Start with UTH. If you are happy that this is what you as a normal human being of Zambia deserves, then vote for PF. It is better to continue changing these govt until we get a proper working govt. There is a very big contrast between our hospitals and the new malls, roads, airport terminals being built in this beautiful God blessed country.. I do not know why we give malls, roads , airport terminals a priority. I for one don’t see the need for a new airport in Mfuwe and a new terminal at Lusaka airport when UTH needs urgent attention…..

    • SEEMS THE NEW CONSTITUTION IS NIGHTMARE TO MANY POLITICIANS EH AND THE SO-CALLED LAWYERS. THEY’RE REALLY HAVING A HARD TIME ACCEPTING IT. NAYO NAYO. THIS IS THE CONSTITUTION YOU WERE CRYING FOR AND WERE BUSY USING IT TO CAMPAIGN. KABIMBA YOU YOURSELF WAS MINISTER OF JUSTICE AND HAD THIS DOC IN YOUR HANDS FOR A LONG TIME THAN MANY ZAMBIANS.

  2. I pull down and burn up all ungodly alters and shrines erected against HH’s progress. In this campaign and vote, HH will be head and above and not below. Every curse pronounced against HH, I break, resist and render of no effect in Jesus name. Let every spirit of Balaam hired to curse HH’s progress be destroyed in the name of Jesus. I decree that all HH’s enemies will fall now into the pits they have dug for him in the name of Jesus. After the order of Haman, every mischief and violent dealing backfires on HH’s enemies, in the name of Jesus. You are HH’s Rock, Shield, and Strong Tower. You have equipped HH with the shield of Your salvation,and Your right hand establishes HH as a victor in this battle. Beat down the enemy and give his neck to HH. Cause HH to pursue and overtake them…

  3. Tell them Wynter. At least you have some decency to respect public funds unlike the incompetent Lungu.

    • Ba Wise Commentator – My foot, ati “as a lawyer”, ba Wynter is not even ashamed in public with that poor record. When did he start understanding law with that dismal record?

  4. People of Zambia. Before you make a decision of who to vote for this coming August 2016 election among these presidential candidates, please take time to visit the health institutions of Zambia.

    • Point bro. My sister was recently admitted to UTH. Previously, I was hearing rumours that there were no beds at UTH and that patients were sleeping on the floor. I sadly confirmed this when I took my sister there. On the first day she was admitted, we were told that she could sleep at reception as they looked around for space. Then on the 2nd day, they managed to find space for her on the floor just behind the reception desk. As if that wasn’t enough, we discovered that the toilets were flooded. Patients had to wade through excreta before finally reaching the hole. That knocked me off. I had to move my sister to a nearby private clinic. What development is this?

  5. Cause HH to pursue and overtake them until they are wounded and consumed, falling at his feet, never to rise. I bind, rebuke and destroy any serpent that would try to deceive the people in this vote. I release the rod of God to swallow up every serpent that would come against HH. I break and destroy every demonic blockage and barrier of the enemy; to hinder the will and plans of God for HH. I extinguish all gossip directed against HH and the enemy’s flame does not kindle upon HH. I command the North gate, the South gate, the East gate, and the West gate of the Zambia and State House: BE OPENED NOW TO HH. I bind, rebuke and destroy all enemies that would stand at the gates of Zambia and State House and try to HH from entering, in the name of Jesus.

    • Please keep your prayers in the closet. You Christians of nowadays what is wrong with you? First you are misleading us with your name and you bring your prayers on a public blog, is that what your bible teaches you? Leave HH alone or make an appointment with him so you can pray for him in private. Ba polele mwafulisha no wonder the country is going bananas!

    • @Prayer worrior fo HH.
      You are doing a wonderful job. Keep it up. We need those prayers. The enemy will not succeed in cheating Zambia this time around. HH shall win this election in the name of Jesus Christ.

  6. Lungu ought to understand that regardless of what the constitution says he has the power to do the right thing and should have dissolved parliament in the best interest of Zambians. This has always happened since 1991 so he is not a special president to be doing what he is doing. When these Minister begin their court cases he should also be cited and possibly prosecuted somehow

    • ACTUALLY HE HAS DONE THE RIGHT TO BE THE FIRST ONE AS PRESIDENT TO UPHOLD THE LAW STIPULATED IN THE NEW CONSTITUTION. IF HE AVOIDED IT U SAME PEOPLE WOULD HAVE SAID HE DOESN’T UNDERSTAND THE LAW IN THE NEW CONSTITUTION THAT HE SIGNED.

  8. @prayer warrior for hh, it will be wise for you to pray for that sadist & shetanist to repent first. that’s when God can forgive him & bless him. as it is now your prayers are in vain

  9. Lungu is a crook, he wants to continue with the same cabinet after rigging these elections. This was planned a long time, starting from the amended constitution. Lungu is not alone in making all these moves.

  10. Lungu would have asked his ministers to leave but you would have turned round and called him names. some pipo would have even accused him of failing to respect the constitution. Didn’t UPND, NGOs and pilato call Lungu names for delaying the constitution? can sure pipo like kabimba talk about this constitution?

  11. Winter is not normal. am not PF but the G12 clause is sweet and has removed dunderheads from the political scene. Lets be objective for once.

    • Therefore, why don’t we simply have graduates from recognized institutions aspiring for those positions if that is that case. Because grade 12 is not a qualification that will get you a managerial job after all. Besides having a grade 12 certificate does not make one an intelligent person. Look at the whole picture, as much as it be good it is also discriminatory to majority Zambians!

    • Yes, this will teach you loafers that when they call for submissions, people should respond and give their submissions. Don’t come and act surprised when the final document is passed and your views are not accommodated. The constitution making process took over 5 years, Kabimba had a very powerful position in the government then, surely how can he turn around and act as if it is something strange to him. I ask you Kabimba to disclose how much money you got paid from your sittings leading up to the same consititution that seems to be foreign to you. Zambians wake up!

  12. Edgar Lungu has said if you are aggrieved take the issue to court. Up to now no one has gone but just having press conferences

  13. KABIMBA HAS BEEN IN PF. HE KNOWS WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT. HE KNOWS THAT PF IS FULL OF LOOTERS AND PLUNDERERS. LUNGU AND HIS MINIONS ARE ALL THIEVES! THEY SHOULD NOT BE GIVEN ANOTHER MANDATE TO RAVAGE THE ECONOMY OF OUR COUNTRY. LUNGU KUYABEEBELE!

    • Ba Truth naimwe. So what guarantee do you have that your HH with a bunch of people that includes GBM will not plunder the economy? You always accuse of Lungu as a looter and plunderer and yet you have no proof. At least Lungu and PF have built roads, schools and hospitals in their 5 year rule and we can see these things unlike Chiluba who in his 10 year rule never built a single school or road. These politicians you blindly support are more or less the same. Please give us a break with your rantings.

    • Do you have any evidence of what you are accussing ECL of? If you have that evidence why dont you report to the ACC or police? Dont make a fool of yourself by accussing pipo anyhow without proof.

  14. For once I agree with this **** Kabimba but I doubt it if he would have done differently given that he sat on the draft for months…just to stall the process!!

  15. We had great people before in Government were are they and whats happening to them?PF is a very weak Government so those ministers should be ready soon to face the law.Lungu will not be there to protect them as he will be fighting for his immunity .Ask Chiluba how he ended suffering.God has a way of making people humble.Nebukadizer eat grass like a cow,how is Lungu?

  16. Off target kick the ball to the goal ifikondo iwe na hh fyalimbendama.why not concentrate on mobilising your party.your friend hh is struggling to fill the positions and cash.lungu kolopa aleke ukulanda

  19. In 1990 with almost everyone ganging up against that selfless leader KK, called Old Mushumfwa by the PAST led by Fleddie the bald headed man former accounts clerk, shibukeni lawyer and wannabe scribe, accused of banking billions off-shore, KK called for elections early even though constitutionally the elections where not due because the oldman foresaw and avoided blood shed. He warned us of the frightened little men who told lies in the morning, afternoon and evening. The late MCS at an MMD rally told us KK was about to flee and he had an unmarked white plane at old airport to whisk him away. Later KK was to warn us ‘this man is not fit to be president but a governor is the highest he can go’ we didn’t listen….ECL send your ministers on leave let them go and campaign don’t hide…

  20. Ba Truth if you have evidence of the looting you are talking about why dont you report that to the ACC rather making a fool of yourself on this forum.We are tired of your ranting and instead of mobiilising your ka party you are busy talking rubbish on LT!By the way GBM and team are struggling to attract crowds to their rallies here on the Copperbelt.

    • Close to $500 million meant for kariba rehab unaccounteded for, with no one in PF able to say anything about that looting. The money is missing but ACC say bring evidence,

  21. Mr. KABIMBA just go back to PF that’s were you belong. It is not too late to make amends. This rainbow thing is just wasting your time. Your contribution in PF is there for everyone to see except that you may have been influenced by an invisible hand that encouraged you to start campaigning before the President died and this offended our late President so much that he had to grab both party and government portfolios from you.
    President Lungu means well and he needs support.

  22. Ba Truth if you have evidence of the looting you are talking about why dont you report that to the ACC rather making false accusations.We are tired of your ranting and instead of mobiilising your party you are busy writting drivel on LT! By the way, GBM and team are struggling to attract crowds to their rallies here on the Copperbelt.

    • TELL THE TRUTH AND SHAME THE DEVIL. THE THIEVES AND LOOTERS IN UPND KNOW THEIR EVIL AND SELFISH DEEDS AGAINST THE MILLIONS OF HELPLESS ZAMBIAN PEOPLE. YOU INDEED DON’T NEED A ROCKET SCIENTIST IN ORDER FOR YOU TO KNOW THAT LUNGU AND HIS MINIONS ARE THIEVES AND LOOTERS. IMAGINE HIRING A PRIVATE CHARTERED PLANE FOR A UN MEETING IN AMERICA WITH HUNDREDS OF MINIONS GOING FOR A PARTY AND SHOPPING AND ENTERTAINMENT SPREE USING MILLIONS OF OR MONEY EVEN WHEN THIS DRUNKARD KNEW IT VERY WELL THAT OUR NATIONAL TREASURY WAS DWINDLED. WHAT CARELESSNESS, WHAT EXTRAVAGANCE, WHAT A SMOOTH THEFT FROM A SMOOTH CRIMINAL KAMINAMINSA! AND THAT IS JUST A TIP OF ICEBERG. THIEVES!

    • MEANT THIEVES IN PF GOVERNMENT, NOT UPND. UPND IS VERY CLEAN. EVERYONE WHO JOINS UPND KNOWS THAT THERE IS NO ROOM FOR CORRUPTION IN UPND. UPND WANTS TO WORK FOR THE PEOPLE OF ZAMBIA. NO MANGAMANGA IN UPND. UPND MEANS SERVICE TO THE PEOPLE.

  23. Wynter, u ve never won a case. Not even 1. So entepreting the constitution mayb above yo grade.
    And u ve failed to raise K75 pin to stand as president, so we can’t listern to a talker. We want action pipo.

  24. He speaking from experience having been the fund raiser for PF when they formed government but ask where he took the money…

  25. Mr. Kabimba, if you are still contending that ministers were dissolved together with Parliament, what is Article 116 3 (e) still doing in the new constitution? “(e) another person assumes the office of President.” Why was it included in the law, as a decoration? What is the point of waiting for the new govt to come & un constitutionally abuse innocent citizens who are following the people driven constitution? If money is being wasted on ministers now, why not stop it now by petitioning the Attorney General or amend or repeal the law rather than waiting without taking any mitigating action until after Aug 11 elections. If you are a lawyer, which law allows you to watch the damage to deteriorate without taking any remedial action for you to claim more? Then it is willful act. Please,…

  26. UPND stooges always read only what they want to see.
    Amazing how they screamed we want constitution and once it was enacted they run off in the opposite direction with complaints about all sorts of articles which they should have done long before the enactment of this new constitution.

  27. Ministers paying for their 4 or 5 children in Canada and the US to go to school while at the same time they own homes there. How exactly are they doing that and where is the money coming from? Those who served as diplomats in these missions need to be investigated. They are living the life, driving nice cars, have big homes and yes sending their children to college and university. ACC all you have to do is call the colleges and universities. Even better call immigration and see why and how they can do this. Immigration is cracking down on people who abuse the systems and encourages people to snitch.
