ROAN Patriotic Front (PF) Member of Parliament Chishimba Kambwili yesterday told the Speaker of the National Assembly Dr. Patrick Matibini that he was angered by Copperbelt Minister Bowman Lusambo who allegedly kept interjecting during the debate on Thursday that he (Kambwili) has sold Luanshya Golf Club land.

Raising a point of order against the Daily Nation newspaper on the floor of the House, Mr Kambwili explained that he did not threaten to beat his PF Kabushi constituency counterpart but that he only warned him (Lusambo) for accusing him (Kambwili) of having sold land belonging to Luanshya Golf Club.

The former Information and Broadcasting Services minister, however, acknowledged having referred to the Copperbelt minister as a “boy” during the debate on Thursday.

Mr Kambwili explained that when Mr Lusambo interjected his debate and accused him of selling Luanshya land, he only warned him but did not threaten to beat him.

“Mr Speaker, in my immediate response I said ‘let me warn that boy’. Today…in the Daily Nation, this newspaper has decided to misrepresent the facts with impunity, portraying a picture that I wanted to beat honourable Lusambo and I was restrained and walked out of the House,” Mr Kambwili said.

He also disputed that Mr Lusambo was not outside the House when he (Kambwili) was debating, adding that Mr Lusambo was inside the House and that he was the only Member of Parliament from the Patriotic Front’s (PF) side who he heard interjecting him by shouting that he (Kambwili) had sold land belonging to Luanshya Golf Club.

“Is the Chief Whip (Mr Richard Musukwa) in order not to cite this newspaper (Daily Nation) for contempt of the House and refer them to the privileges committee? I seek your serious ruling. Thank you, Mr Speaker, and I will lay both the verbatim (Hansard) report and the newspaper on the table,” Mr Kambwili said.

However, the Speaker reserved his ruling in order to peruse both the paper as well as the verbatim reports so that he could make an informed ruling.

Yesterday, the Daily Nation reported that Mr Kambwili threatened to beat Mr Lusambo for accusing him of allegedly selling land on the Copperbelt belonging to Luanshya Golf club during a heated debate in Parliament.

  1. This BUFFOON is like a school boy…these people have nothing to offer all of them simply wasting taxpayers funds in National Assembly.

    • But it would be interesting and very entertaining to have such a physical fight between two thugs. Encourage them to fight so that we congratulate the better thug.

    • This country is on edge & just a little fuel will set it ablaze.
      Edward needs to provide leadership. Learn from how ‘fake news’ influenced the american elections. We have a less critical people who are easily swayed by the stomach.
      Edward needs more friends & less enemies. Relying on KZ & Amos Chanda will not help him.
      By the way where is Davies Chama?

    • WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU RANTING ABOUT? COME ON MAN!!
      ====================================
      I don’t still freaky get it CK! What difference does your statement make right now? You’re still in the PF but you are behaving like you’re in opposition. But whatever your role, maintain civility! See it’s hard being outa Goverment. Be cool, every which-way then we see whether you’re a leader.

    • Kambwili needs to sober himself.

      There is always yet another chance.

      Let him not feel the new comers are not entitled.

      Would he have handled the coming out from statehouse of the Kaunda family had he been part of that gallant family?

      Let him not take the party or the nation personal.

    • There should be a CCTV system in our Parliament. Just rewind the tape and let Kambwili and the Speaker review it. No need to witch hunt. If our Parliament doesn’t have such basic systems, no wonder the majority parliamentarians seem to have amnesia as to who voted for the current constitution and what’s in it.

    • Kambwili is indeed a coward. You remember how he came out very fast and with energy attacking Dora Siliya when she just joined the PF party saying if the party allowed Siliya, who insulted the late President Sata to join the party then he would sell his heart to the devil but later on he was almost apologizing for the strong words he used and Siliya had the last laugh.

    • JAY JAY, U HAVE MY VOTE!! I HAVE ALREADY VOTED AND AM NOW CAMPAIGNING 4U. THE IDI00TI KUDOS GOT THE MOST IRRITATING. HH MY POLICIAN OF THE YEAR WHILE CHAGWA GOT THE OPPOSITE…GAVE LUSAMBO MOST PROMISING LOOKING AT THE WAY HE HAS HANDLED LAND ISSUES ON THE CB

    • Kambwili’s time has come, he will be forced out of PF. let him eat his own rubbish, as he character does not come close to any person who should be leading..

    • Do you have a slight idea how big Luanshya golf course is or you are just blowing hot air. Eastdive golf club runs east and west 10 to 15km from the club along the Luanshya river. If ck gave himself a plot it must be a smaller portion.

    • Buti a theif is always a theif.

      Ati it is 10 to 15 km long so it is ok for CK to take a plot.

      What is wrong with you theifs ? Don’t you have any shame .?

    • The whole of Luanshya is not even 5km wide. How can the Golf Club be 15km long and yet it is near the middle of the town? Chimbwili’s houses are there on the Golf Course for all to see. He even had his cows and goats grazing on the golf course in 2012 until Satan got upset about it. These thieves are full of excuses for stealing, kuti: I didn’t steal, natolafye.

  2. Daily Nation! Its a newspaper owned by Lungu’s newly found friend, Richard Sakala. So it hunts Lungu’s perceived enemies and tries to paint them in a bad light. Stoopid Zambian journalism

    • Lungu’s friends are all either convicts or those running away from the law like RB, Dora, Mugabe and Museveni or the outrightly corrupt like dos Santos and Zuma.

    • I have no problem with goons like Sakala Nyongo hunting down Chimbwili. Let Chimbwili also feel the pain of the loss of the Post. Now he has nobody to retell his side of the story. Lungu holds all the cards.

  3. Hon kambwili bes demure, down-to-earth, lowly, meek, modest, unassuming, unpretentious
    acquiescent, compliant, deferential, resigned, submissive, unaggressive, unassertive, yielding; cowering, cringing, shrinking; ingenuous, naive (or naïve), plain, simple,

  4. Issues developing around our political brother, CK, present quiet a sad reading. In life one does not rise to the highest position in his/her organisation by undermining the current Leader through deceit or faking love and support to the frustrated few members of the organisation. Besides, Hon CK will do well look at the history of the highest position (Presidency) of either major political Parties or that of the Zambian Republic; to me its looks more of SITUATIONAL than a do or die project. Examples are there for everyone to see; MMD, PF Party presidency and may be ANC/UNIP too. Historical facts about past Republican Presidents confirm that it is only Dr K.K. and Micheal Sata who wished to rule Zambia and started Political Party(projects) and managed to BECOME Republican Presidents…

  5. Kikiki the pf chimps are now fighting amongst themselves. When you steal and election you cannot have peace within your own village let alone party. They cursed themselves and slowly we will watch their downfall. Forward HH Forward Zambia

  6. Continue giving publicity and attention thats what he wants anyway !!!! Come 2021, he will be running as PF President.
    Do you remember one of the reasons why that US University accorded him the Honarary Doctorate? Apparently he displayed leadership in helping his community.
    And that is a reason for CK to be encouraged and start challenging status quo within PF. He feels he can serve the Zambian people better.
    This is my personal prediction, stemming from Chimbwili `s behaviour lately.

  7. What a stinking coward, no wonder ubwamba tabwima, he is an oxen. Sipulu sateni sa bopoloha lipoho halisiyo fateni kono lisato punya feela kipeto sona si matela kwa Jokwe, ku tubiwa malete ki ncwa!

  8. Corporal Kanene, before you make such silly assumptions, ask Mainza Chona, Mr Godfrey Miyanda etc. It’s over for Kambwili, no more chance of farting next to the Queen like he did in Australia nearly sending her Majesty into a heart attack from the smell of his pooosi.

  9. Bowman Lusambo with his fellow MMD friends have invaded PF with the aim of disturbilizing and getting rid of true PF members. CK is not the only target on the list as the scheme is targeting bembas in short. Before you give support to the so called Lusambo, we should know where he hails from(of course he is from northwestern province). Any person who hails from western, northwestern and southern provinces naturally hates bembas even though they do not show their hatred openly.

    The behavior of Lusambo has made us to regret voting for the PF in the previous elections, as the situation stands here on the copperbelt the PF has become unpopular. The results will show in 2021 presidential elections. 2021 seems to be very far but is very near! The question a normal person can ask himself is…

    • @MWANYAA —-

      Boss if you are frustrated keep your frustration to yourself. If you hate people from the three provinces but you hide your hatred, don’t assume themselves are as dev.ilish as you are. Let us learn to argue and debate without rushing to tribe. If every time a ka-argument starts you run to tribe then it just shows that you lack the brain stamina to take on arguments. Most people who accuse these three provinces of being tribalists, especially Lozis whom I know very well, have never lived among them. You the individuals who rush to accuse others of being tribalists are the reason why other provinces accuse us Bembas of being tribalist. If you lose and argument, or you simply cannot engage in any sensible argument, don’t rush to accuse others of being tribalists, like a…

    • And just because Lusambo accussed CK of having sold the Golf Club land then you won’t vote for PF next time? Don’t be childish, man!

  10. very unfair! Bowman Lusambo with his fellow MMD friends have invaded PF with the aim of disturbilizing and getting rid of true PF members. CK is not the only target on the list as the scheme is targeting bembas in short. Before you give support to the so called Lusambo, we should know where he hails from(of course he is from northwestern province). Any person who hails from western, northwestern and southern provinces naturally hates bembas even though they do not show their hatred openly.

The results will show in 2021 presidential elections. 2021 seems to be very far but is very near! The question a normal person can…

    • Don’t you pipo see anything wrong with stealing ? Lusambo is highlighting theft of council land by kambwili and you think that is ok ?

    • You cockruch, Lusambo’s objective is more than more who stole land. He has intentions with his MMD colleagues to remove PF real founder members through witch hunting! An idol mind cannot figure out what is happening in PF right now. It is a clean up campaign to rid off all bembas and pure PF members. Corruption in PF has existed and still exists more than than land you are insinuating about from top leadership to bottom. So you cannot single out CK alone as the only corrupt person. So do not show your dullness in public!

    • @ Spaka like lilo/Lusambo’s objective is more than who stole land. He has intentions with his MMD colleagues to remove PF real founder members through witch hunting! An idol mind cannot figure out what is happening in PF right now. It is a clean up campaign to rid off all bembas and pure PF members. Corruption in PF has existed and still exists more than than land you are insinuating about from top leadership to bottom. So you cannot single out CK alone as the only corrupt person. So do not show your dullness in public!This is a very serious issue which will make the PF to lose the 2021 elections and rigging wont save them.

    • ZIKO

      So because of indemic corruption in PF at all levels CK and his corruption and stealing should be overlooked because he is bemba ?

      Zambia is in trouble with people who put tribe ahead of stealing and plunder. Come on man show some decency , stop acting like a Monkey in a maize field….

    • Thievery is in-built in some tribes. They speak, eat, nyela and dream stealing. And they see nothing wrong with that.

  11. Kambwili you will be better off responding to the allegations that you stole council land.

    Instead of trying to normalise corruption and looting, let’s hear your side of the story.

  12. Lusambo knows deep down in his heart that he is doing a bad thing by causing divisions in the party. He has a mission to accomplish best known to himself with his fellow MMD friends in PF. Lusambo is surrounded by shallow minded donkeyss who can be bought with a 0.002 ngwee and crooked. He simply using them just for his own personal benefit. That land issue is just a mask to rid off CK. CK is a better material to PF than that donkey(Lusambo) wanting to be a heroe at the expense of CK. Very unfair!

    • CK has been accused of corruption and stealing and by his silence on the matter one can deduce he has accepted the charges.

      It is so sad that some people see nothing wrong with these allegations and instead want to invoke the tribal card.

      Zambia is a doomed country where stealing and theives are idolised.

  13. Can we finish first things first before we jump like monkeys all over, I am referring to UPNDonkeys. First tell us something about uncouth and rioutous behavioue of HH’s supporters at the High court. Before we hear this out you have no right to jump to Kambwili. Has your chief donkey issued a statement yet? Being donkeys of course we are expecting a statement like the UPND cadres were given chibuku by PF, and they accepted to drink thinking it was chibwantu,bthey were also incensed by presence of Lungu in court etc etc, there is no limit to the imagunation of chief donkey, katuka or kakoma….kikikiki

    • Try putting the country before stealing and idiolising theives and maybe zambia can have chance.

      It it just black pipo or what ? Stealing should be condemned, whether it was a Monkey, a bemba , a tonga or any one , stealing is wrong.

    • Have you ever condemned the man who made himself rich after the corrupt privatisation. What we have observed is that he has become a hero and being worshipped by all the chuundu people like a god. HH should be condemned in the same light as ck because they are all thieves

    • The PFipuba have been running govt for 6 years and cannot come up with a single charge against HH regarding his role in privatisation. These idyots are all talk. I will start my own party very soon and when we win, within 3 months Lungu will be in jail for treason (he knows the 3 counts) and Satan’s rotting bones will be exhumed from Embassy Park for disposal at a rubbish dump. Action and not talk, you idyots.

    • @Terrible! you are very DULL. what has HH got to do with the subject of debate. Sort out the real problems in your party and country. why do you want to divert attention. grow up!

  14. Today’s reporting is a sham that’s why in Tanzania editors reporting false hoods are being arrested without bail

  15. True leaders were K K, Mwanawasa and Michael Sata. The rest were/are thieves who have no solutions to the country’s problems.

    What we espect from MP’s Lusambo, siliya, Vincent mwale, kampyongo and many more who only know how to blow vuvuzelas for their president just to keep their jobs.

    It is the reason we are poor as a country and what is disheartening is that this team will take us nowhere.

    Some things which Kambwili says are true. Those who insulted Sata, the founder of pf, the likes of victoria kalima, siliya, bowman, kaingu etc are now kings and queens in the pf. It is the reason I stopped supporting this “club”. I don’t think they can fix the problems this country is facing. They are just there to enrich themselves. For siliya she’s been there for too long but what…

    • Satan was no national leader. He was a thief who stole 40 houses and K2. 5bn from Parliament. When he became President, he just put his tribesmen into all govt positions. The only nonBembas in PF govt were brothers or cousins to his girlfriends and callgirls. Satan was the despicable twit who gave us Lungu and Chimbwili as contenders for State House.

  16. Kindly you Foolish party FP can you condemn this *****ic ,ungodly satanic, demon chishimba kambwili if not you are all thieves

  17. Then cadres went on rampage grabbing land in Lusaka west and other place and the bugger was quite at state house. Now fp cadres can do anything and Edwards say nothing. What a legacy the devil left for Zambia?

  18. In any normal country CK would not be all allowed near public office because of his stealing. But in zambia we have tribes that see nothing wrong with stealing. They consider stealing and looting of GRZ property and money as “taking” not stealing.

  19. Kambwili has been accused of stealing GRZ money and property and he does not bothering denying it because he knows his tribesmen accept stealing as normal.
    Stealing is what defines a bemba. God cursed the rest of zambia by not lumping these theives with their brethren in Congo together with their useless mines.

    Only when we have a federal system where these bemba theives and their rat eating cousins rule their own affaires and the other tribes rule their own, the whole of zambia will never develop because of the stealing that is in bemba genes.

  20. PF against PF is not healthy for the Party. Hon Bowman should report to the ACC if anything corrupt turns in the matter. Hon Kambwili might have wanted to merely quip back a denial, matter of fact and left it at that.

    • @Buck teeth, what has sata done to you that you hate him so much to the extent of insulting him in his death iwe C1kala ca wiso? You must be a satanist yourself because desparaging dead pipo who can not defend themselves is devilish! 1diot.

  21. Mipo,
    Leave Buck Teeth alone! The truth hurts. Sata was a vile prolific tribal bigot whose tribalism nearly sunk this country. Most Zambians were happy to see him waste away right before their eyes and die so far away so that his Satanyolic soul haunts London tube stations, not state house. It was sweet good riddance his demise was truly.

  22. Ba Lusaka Times, didnt you report the same? why write ‘Yesterday, the Daily Nation reported that Mr Kambwili threatened to beat Mr Lusambo for accusing him of allegedly selling land on the Copperbelt belonging to Luanshya Golf club during a heated debate in Parliament.’ ?? mwasamba mo imwe??
