FAILURE by top PF leadership to reprimand Chishimba Kambwili for all the problems he has been causing in the party since he was fired from his ministerial position will create a very bad precedence, PF in the Northern Province have warned.

Provincial deputy elections chairperson Chibwaya Muma said the writing was on the wall and visible enough for all to see that Mr. Kambwili was not loyal to the PF.

The provincial leadership further warned that Kambwili’s tantrums if not handled properly had the potential to cause mayhem in the near future.

Mr Muma challenged Mr. Kambwili to resign from the PF and form his own political party that would challenge the ruling party if he was convinced that he had the political stamina and acumen to vie for the presidency.

Commenting on the recent hegemony in which Mr. Kambwili openly blasted presidential Affairs Minister Freedom Sikazwe.

Mr. Muma said. Kambwili had continued attacking anyone from a common party member to the senior-most, including those in Governmnet because he was convinced that the party could do nothing over his behaviour because of the perceived huge following he commanded.

He equated Mr. Kambwili’s behaviour to a booby trap out to smash everyone within range and that the party will have no one else to blame but itself should the environment become volatile in the party for failing to take action while the situation was still manageable.

He said many PF members were expectant of a positive result from the on-going reconciliation talks between Mr. Kambwili and Luanshya mayor Nathan Chanda which are being facilitated by vice president Inonge Wina.

But the current developments were giving a signal that nothing would be achieved because Mr. Kambwili was not ready to cooperate.

He challenged Mr. Kambwili to step out of the PF boat and into his political waters if he thought he was strong enough not to be swept away by the current.

“Mr. Kambwili feels he has made it politically. He feels his popularity can be equated to that of President Edgar Lungu and our only appeal to him is to step out and face us in the 2021 so that he can prove his strength since he feels the PF is where it is today because of his following.

“How can you have a person saying his people in the party are being persecuted? That means he has parallel structures within PF which he wants to use when he feels time is ripe to become president. Mr. Kambwili should have just exercised patience rather than using antagonism to get to the top,” he said.

  1. Hands up those who understand the following sentence:
    He equated Mr. Kambwili’s behaviour to a booby trap out to smash everyone within range and that the party will have no one else to blame but itself should the environment become volatile in the party for failing to take action while the situation was still manageable.

    • We the bloggers wish to tell Kambwili to stay in and fight the battle within at all cost. He is one of the real PF left inside and he has to stick it out. PF is a pro poor party and was ushered in for that purpose and not to be hijacked and turned into what the people did not settle for. MMD has come in through the back door and this is no acceptable. someone has to challenge this for the people. Kambwili stays in and only comes out at the right time to champion what he believes in. He is a hero.

    • Examples of people who thought they are bigger and stronger than pf are plenty.
      . winter had proper structres countywide, where is he today.
      .guy Scott by being act president thought by giving OVAL HEAD support he will bulldoze 80% members. Where is he today.
      . sampa thought by being nephew to the late he equally owned the party. Where is he today.
      Not forgetting belly politician munkombwe all these thinks zambians are fulls.
      Ba ck dig your own grave by forming a party and we will put a tomb stone on top for you. Just humble yourself. Ecl is still zambians baby.

    • But these PF, including their top man, how can you believe that Kambwili can be a President? I really wonder.

    • I gave up a long time ago on our MPs. They seem not to even know how to use nat. assembly researchers or a library. They seem to have suspended all semblance of literacy in exchange for party positions and a ride on the gravy train. Expecting any form of sensibility or adult behaviour is like expecting a Harry Potter movie to have neither wand nor lord voldemort.
      Kambwili is emboldened by the loophole in the laws that allows public service workers and MPs to be part owners of companies that supply central and local government. Imagine the conflict of interest if grz pharmacists could run their own chemist shops? its happening today with ministers

    • Kambwili is not intended to be President but he’s meant to rock the boat so that it can stir in the right direction. Nos fu.cking tradamus do you think Zambians are mops? We’ve been taken for a ride in a boat. We are not having that. That is the point.

    • you’re not so lucky. They still have 4.5 years of milking the Zambian treasury for what they can get. They are yet to complete gorging themselves on your money. Bet that there will be 3-4 more bonds issued. bonds that they will cash in and leave you to pay.

    • I strongly suspect that many of the current elite will take off/ scarper/ bolt/ take to their hells/ skedadle and disappear just before the next elections. If the current powers lose then expect South America and Tax havens to be flooded with my cousins from the great north.

  2. Did PF die with Sata and all that is left is a shell of it or the manifestation of useless ministers. Chagwa is working for himself and the people that were rejected by the people of the great Land. That’s what Kambwili is resisting even if he is a thief. He’s now in this position for a reason.

  3. PF is a finished party, died with its founder late Machael Sata.
    Evidence is when the whole party fails to discipline one individual Chishimba Kambwili who has pending investigations of office abuse and corruption cases.
    The next government will revisit his cases effectively as lesson for the rest.

  4. Why waisting time on an individual. There’s too much jealous in this grate nation which should be eradicated at all cost let’s just concentrate on working for the people and leave individuals alone we need to lol at how we can reduce pay as you earn which is sky rocketing.

  5. We can’t afford to shareour hard earned money almost half with government, this is day light robbery, work on system to try and reduce pay as you earn tax.

  6. Kambwili must indeed be reigned in, although without doubt, he has no chance politically of achieving anything either for himself or for the people of Zambia. His strand, like that of Malema in South Africa, is that of a roublerouser, without anything tangible ensuing or happening from his efforts tomorrow, or ever.
