PF Roan Member of Parliament Chishimba Kambwili has distanced himself from a news story attributed to him in which he allegedly attacked President Edgar Lungu’s eligibility to run for office in 2021.
Choma based BYTA FM this morning broadcast a news item quoting Dr Kambwili saying President Lungu has showed that he has no development agenda for the Copperbelt by rushing to announce his eligibility for the 2021 elections.
BYTA FM posted the story on its official Facebook page and even circulated an audio recording of a man whose voice sounds similar to Dr Kambwili’s.
But on his Facebook page, Dr Kambwili said the voice in the audio recording was not his and that he was just been mimicked by some of his political enemies.
He said he has not made any statement to BYTA FM and that he does not even know that such a station exists.
Dr Kambwili said the story is fake and that it has nothing to do with him.
But records show that as Information Minister, BYTA FM was granted a full broadcast licence and commenced its operations during the time that Dr Kambwili was Information and Broadcasting Minister, making it difficult for him not to have heard of its existence.
Below is Dr Kambwili’s statement.
Attention!
I have not made any statement to Byta FM, in fact I do not even know such a station exists, the story circulating is totally fake and it has nothing to do with me.
I would like to distance myself from such assertions because I cannot address the president through the media even if I felt aggrieved, it is clear to see that people are trying to create a vacuum between me and the president out of spite, I remain a loyal member of the party and my loyalty is with his excellency the president. I have always stated that loyalty defines a man and I cannot contradict myself, we have a lot of work to do and it’s a pity that a few individuals have chosen to preoccupy themselves with fighting me and creating false rumours in order to gain political mileage.
With regard to the eligibility of the president to stand again in 2021, I have not made a single statement and I will not make a statement regarding this as it is not my place to comment on such. It is totally shocking that people have gone to an extent of imitating my voice and circulating it on social media.
I would like to appeal to these people that have taken it upon themselves to fight me and cause confusion in the party, to refrain from such because they risk destroying the unity we enjoy so much. Anyone who has the physical address for this radio station please send it to me so that I can take legal action.
CK this catch 22. Of course we know there is bad blood between you and ECL but you know if you confirmed this recording is yours the ACC and DEC will move at supersonic speed to lock you up.
Lusaka times you have been bought by the PF propaganda machinery. You are now promoting the development of a cult of personality around this deeek head called lungu by reporting on him constantly. He is a failed flaccid preeck. Let me warn you that people took time to participate in polls you opened on your website and overwhelmingly voted me as best blogger. When you realised that I was headed for victory you quickly deleted the votes and have failed to announce the winners. Simple because I do not support pathetic dogs like lungu and PF. Let me warn you that this website will crash soon if you do not announce the will of people.
Maybe CK was drunk when he said that…aibala…moba ni woipa malume…!
The president going back and forth with a dismissed minister is a mystery.
I’m sure there are other priorities he should be consumed with.
Saying that – it is the trait of a black man. Greedy, corrupt and a thief.
As long as you are Zambian – this chip is engraved in you.
Shame on you.
Thanks

This story has exposed Kambwili Chishimba or whatever his name is. He is as a coward as a hyena is. He is a spineless silverback who only survives on empty threats. Do you Kambwili, have to ask someone to assist you with the address of that Radio station when (1) you know where Choma is and (2) you signed the documents that brought about its existence! Just tell us that you now understands that Lungu is setting himself to fall on you like a ton of bricks just as Mwanawasa once told Kaunda that he would ‘bruise’ him. I call your types as nimble footed cowards.
CK here in civilized worlds we call that skating on thin ice…. with your hippo weight its bound to break sooooooooooooon. Good luck
@ ba NEZ, ala mulibalwele
CK, WHY YOU?
=========
Are you trying to tell us that some hi-tech crooks are trying to frame you? If it is indeed a set up, why you? There is no doubt that the world today has gone ballistic and wild in terms of the tech, but you CK has been shrouded in a number of careless talk that you later claim they had been cooked to smear you of having a bad mouth. Why you CK? See CK, that’s what happens when you talk the loudest. I may not have the strength to affirm that the web-embedded vocal stream is indeed yours on account of the bitter party’s levels of evil but the question is why YOU SIR? Remember CK that you have enemies. Mmembe, HH, Fr. Bwalya, Southern province, the big four aka Guy, Miles, GBM and Sata the big Mule, maybe Kabimba, ECL, Siliti e.t.c and so keep it on the down low…
Fake or not ..i have no sympathy for the likes of this BUFFOON CK…we Zambians are very docile and very forgiving…i bet you the main opposition party would gladly welcome him as the whole system is rotten!
Well he’s not eligible after all, all he does is travel overseas and cruise around eating Mangos. Zero results from his administration so far.
@NEZ (new educated Zambia) official upnd media
The polls clearly indicated you have won the blogger of the year but understand that, LT, from the way they suck up to that drunkard, creating a worshipful cult of him, their hands are tied. You have created a dilemma for them, a UPND blogger winning best blogger on a PF/Lungu website, it’s unthinkable!! I maybe wrong!
NEZ puleeez! You are like a Muliokela online. You speak of things that only have substance in your mind. You fail to register an educated argument. You waffle and ramble. Calling you a famous clown is not an honor!
He said he has not made any statement to BYTA FM and that he does not even know that such a station exists.
Dr Kambwili said the story is fake and that it has nothing to do with him.
But records show that as Information Minister, BYTA FM was granted a full broadcast licence and commenced its operations during the time that Dr Kambwili was Information and Broadcasting Minister, making it difficult for him not to have heard of its existence.
So Chimbwi kambwili is a coward man….
He is a hyena,a coward…
bafi colour nakana umwine, why do enjoy unnecessary fights?
This is an old trick. Say something then deny it. In the meantime your initial statement has received wide circulation.
Back in the ’90s Sondashi called FTJ a dagga smoker then apologised but by then the damage had been done.
Next time, he will say he was playing tribal cousinship!
KAMBWILI IS A SERIOUS COWARD.WHY CAN’T HE COME IN THE OPEN AND CALL A SPADE A SPADE
One needs balls of steel to do that!
To hell with this silly buffonery and excuse of a government. The pf hooligans have not achieved a single thing and yet they are already thinking about how they can prolong their jobs and fatten their already obese bellies. It is very disgusting behaviour. If it is not news about lungu’s travelling, then it is just mere cheap propaganda. Lungu this lungu that. And what is even further disapponting is that Lusaka times seems to be promoting this propaganda. Just now go and take a look at tthis website and count how many news items are showing about lungu vs anything on any other opposition leader. Are you telling me that it is only that foooking failure lungu that gets up to anything? even when he uses toilet you will report on that. Lusaka times has even failed to announce best blogger…
Continued: Lusaka times has even failed to announce best blogger because the people voted me and i dont support that rat teethed twat lungu. Let me warn you that i wont stop telling the truth. you cannot stop me. I am of the people, for the people and by the people! i am democracy itself. ala
NEZ are you drunk or what have you started smoking??? Chill you are really overacting…. Can’t you just debate issues in a more civil manner? If you call people names does it make you feel happy?
This man has principles, today he will say this and tomorrow he will say that. Kambwili is a useless Bemba. If lungu is a failure say it don’t fear him he is not your god for you to be worshipping him. Edgar will not be there forever. Machende yako, mapolo!
NEZ! Ngati chakunyokola go to Zambian watchdog, where they dont even allow postings of divergent views.
Even on watchdog I gave them a hard time. I am for fair media coverage. There is nothing difficult from reporting the truth and giving everyone fair chance to be heard. Please just because I support UPND does not make me a watchdog sympathiser. Its thinking like yours that has led to the decline in free media and speech in this country. Wake up.
IT SEEMS CHISHIMBA KAMBWILI IS NOT CLEAN IN HIS OWN BUSINESS.
These are days you would wish you could call Jesus on his cellphone to ask him for the truth… But despite how high the network towers can go, that will never happen. It’s a dirty game, this politics!
The recording is fake. CK does not talk like that. Well tried though.
THAT SOUNDS LIKE KAMBWILI!!!!!
I HEAR THERE IS A NEW SLOGAN FOR PF!!!
” COME KAMBWILI 21″!!!!
“COME KAMBWILI 21”!!!!!
IF THIS IS TRUE LUNGU IS IN TROUBLE. NO WAY HE WINS COPPER BELT AGAIN!!
“COME KAMBWILI 21”
Chimbwili is a silverbackless jackal. what he stated is the plain truth and the voice is definitely his, so why recant his statement like a dog eating its own vomit like that.
How disappointed are the people who want to bring confusion are now. Journalism is not what it used to be. Those days a reporter would ask several times if you’re really want what you said to be published. Today they even hide microphones in there jackets to record anything without your knowledge. Be careful especially in a drunken state of what you say.
Oho, lomba ayamba kukana voice yao a Kambwili!
All of you saying its CKs voice,how sure are you that indeed it was him?Remember that guy who phoned KCM demanding for money that he was the head of state and needed money. For sure the guy managed to get that payment.Everybody there believed that it was Mr. Sata, until foolish enough he went back to ask for more because of greed. Thats when they caught him,otherwise he did manage to pull a good one.So be careful before you rush to judge someone that they did say this or that (recorded as it was) without enough proof.
People where is Dr Simbyakula…..anyone to furnish info on him after acting president 3 times
So Byta FM just fabricated the recording by claiming that they had interviewed him? All radio stations are scared stiff of saying wrong things concerning Chagwa lest they be closed. Ba LT, what is fake is the statement from ‘Dr’ Chimbwili.
Honestly, dts nt CK’s voice. Watever th case, its too early 2 tok abt who stands in 2021. Th president must show leadership by dismissing any talks and encourage members to promote unity n development.
I can see people have lost interest in this story because it’s not want to hear. Fabrication has taken the place of truth.
Choma radio? Can a Tonga say good about kambwili? What the motive behind choma reporting?
Choma based BYTA FM, A radio station from Choma hmmm. I shall not say much, but I believe they are inclined with UPND. Anyway Kambwili should go and seat somewhere until the ACC is through with him.
They faked Mumbi phiri’s voice now it is kambwili. Who doesn’t know that kambwili is our next president and heroes want to stop him
This is pure upnd’s work!!i just wonder what upnd is trying to achieve by causing confusion between ECL and Kambwili!!Dr.CK has told u openly that he will never join a tonga party upnd even if he is expelled from PF.Dr.CK is like most of us who hate UPND like hell!!as long as i live on earth,i can never vote for upnd under HH!!!Bravo to Dr CK for shaming the devil-upnd!!!just keep on supporting ECL sir and in the end you shall smile while those in upnd will keep on crying as another defeat is waiting for them and HH in 2021!!!
The nigga is a coward, he has no bozzy
Comment:
Comment:dis wl nvr b ck thts nt his voice ecl his jst afraid of him
That isn’t his voice for sure. But Ba Kambwili needs to shut up atleast for now. Kanwa katali, kaletelele infungo.
Comment:lelo lelo lelo uukakaletele, chishimba you are in hot soup with ECL.
The highest position CK can ever get in any Government is cabinet minister. Nothing else. The man is not presidential material IN ANY WAY.
Comment:2021 pf will fail no matter what bcoz of no recognizing kambwili as big brainier Pf careful
Yaba! chuundu clan yalila! They are trying all means, always ever unsuccessful of course, including fake recordings, to plant failure in PF. Chimbwili confusion or not, UPND has already messed up their chances for 2021 with their petition behaviour and bitterness, crowned by GBM’s wamuyaya statement. 2026 and 2031 are all out of reach because UPND will not be there, I will not tell you why unless you beg me….kikikikiki
@Terrible! The issue here is not about UPND iwee c1kala. The thieves are fighting amongst themselves and you start talking about UPND. You are very dull iwee kapoli.
Kabwili simply ask for a retraction from the station. If they don’t do that you sue them and report them to the iba.
That is assuming the recording is indeed fake.
But why should a station go to such unprofessional and unethical levels? Were they paid and did it despite the implications?
The goons think they can use C.K. To distabilize the party on the c/belt. Mwaloba ilyabola. Desperate people can do desperate things. We will not fall for your cow tricks. Kambwili has categorically distanced himself from your mimic statement. Why use a small radio station in some place instead of the stations near to where he is.
How come this story has changed so fast to talking about UPND, instead of Kambwili vs ECL.? This is why Zambia is lagging behind in development and improving the rule of law. One stupid PF supporter comments on UPND, all of a sudden the story takes a different direction. This story is valid but if you are a PF die hard with no brains and being a docile, then such a story will haunt you. Let us comment objectively on the subject matter. UPND is not the story here.
This definitely isn’t CK.
