Chief Government spokesperson Kampamba Mulenga has said that Roan Member of Parliament Chishimba Kambwili must stop being childish and just pay back all the salaries and allowances he got as Minister after parliament was dissolved because President Edgar Lungu never kept his ATM card or helped him withdraw the money.
Ms. Mulenga, who is Information Minister said it was laughable that the loud-mouthed Roan lawmaker could claim that he was forced to stay in the office illegally when he willingly did so.
She was reacting to remarks by Mr Kambwili who claimed that he was forced to stay in office after parliament was dissolved ahead of last year’s general elections.
Ms. Mulenga said it was childish for Mr. Kambwili to claim that he was forced to stay in office when he has always claimed to be a man of integrity.
Ms Mulenga said it was not true that President Lungu forced any minister to remain in office after parliament was dissolved.
“Mr Kambwili is a bully who has always been ranting that nobody can intimidate him, but what has changed after being fired? He should just pay because if he knew he was forced, he could have refused and if he was really forced to do things he knew were wrong, then his credibility is questionable,” Mrs Mulenga said.
And PF Lusaka Province women chairperson Margaret Mumba has said that said it was unwise for Mr. Kambwili to continue with his scathing attacks on the ruling party, which he was clinging to by way of a court action over his expulsion for gross indiscipline.
Ms. Mumba said Mr. Kambwili should not take advantage of President Lungu’s humility, which had seen the Head of State ignore the Roan lawmaker’s inflammatory rhetoric.
“It is really unfortunate for Mr Kambwili to say those things against President Edgar Chagwa Lungu. If he is a real politician he should do his politics in a smart way not the way he is doing it as if he did not go to school.
“People who talk too much like Mr Kambwili do not achieve anything politically. Please Mr Kambwili, we as women of Lusaka, beg you to respect yourself. Just because President Lungu does not answer you, do not take advantage of his humility and Christian character,” Ms. Mumba said.
She said President Lungu had demonstrated true humility by not engaging himself in political fights with political nonentities.
Ms. Mumba said if Mr. Kambwili was not happy with the PF, he must leave the ruling party in peace and concentrate on the newly formed National Democratic Congress (NDC) where he is a political consultant.
Uko!
Both PF bandits Kambwili & visionless Lungu must pay back the full amount of the money period.
The Skeleton Key ?
~206~
We just need our money back. Kambwili brings back the money, ECL charged with abuse of Office. That’s what hat should happen.
The issue here is that Kampamba Mulenga`s argument is also childish. For her to claim that CK or any other minister would have been so disloyal and reject ECL`s instruction, shows that she is arguing for the sake of it. Thet position of GRZ vuvuzela is tuff, you have to defend even undefendable.
And if she says and I quote”…. it was not true that President Lungu forced any minister to remain in office after parliament was dissolved.”, then she should complete that sentence by saying what the President told his ministers and how he said it. Did he beg for his ministers to stay? NO. Did he give them the choice to stay or not? No.
So what is this lady talking about?
Lusaka times why do you keep using that photo for kampamba mulenga,,it’s very orgasm looking,,,,,,please find a professional looking photo
No wonder They hammer chickens, Is the ministers photo orgasm looking?
Life of Dizmo Kambwili!
The only person to pay will be Kambwili and those out of favour with Lungu. The rest will just ask Get from the government coffers.
Zambians will pay for PF ministers
The only person to pay will be Kambwili and those out of favour with Lungu. The rest will just get from the government coffers.
Zambians will pay for PF ministers
when the court tells him to pay back he says he cant follow that order instead he will have to change the direction of the ruling by directing it at the President.
There is nothing orgasm about this prostitute, in fact her dental formula looks like someone used the hammer on them when he paid and found no pleasure.
Coming to being forced to work, has this prostitute heard any word called insubordination? Although I would like to hold these ministers accountable for their insatiable appetite of fame and power, it would be reasonable to demand that Lungu and Kalaluka who claim to be both Judges and the Jury to pay back what belongs to the Zambians and negotiate with the 64 Ministers how they can recover their lost money.
So these pfoooooooools knows that they are thieves. Let them payback every single coin they have stolen….
Ms. Mumba the President has Spokespersons, in government and in PF. He doesn’t have to say it himself. I thought a person with a position like you have should know that.
I don’t agree that a Minister should have shown disloyalty to the President and refuse to be paid when called upon to work. The President is the appointing authority, so you do as he says in the spirit of collective responsibility. To say that you had your ATM Card I think it’s going down the same level where Kambwili is – childish.
She is correct. Moral responsibility should have made Kambwili resign.
Ba Lombe, so if someone appoints you to rob the Bank, you would go ahead? ECL did not point a gun to Kambwili’s head to stick to office duties when he needed to quit.
Why not resign if you are asked to do an illegality? All these politicians have Lawyers to consult and i guess, it was intentional to get our money illegally. That’s tantamount to theft.
By the way, no neg after highest court has given an Order for ministers to pay back. ECL is not a minister so obviously, the court order is not addressed to him.
I applaud Kampamba Mulenga on this one. kikikikiki that was a savage response she gave.
The one who realise the mistakes once committed is better than those barking the wrong doing
We told guys tamwaleufwa we need our money back foolish bamataba
Kambwili waba ikabukala ubonono
Yangu I wonder where we get these syncompaths of ministers from. You cant be sinking this low if you are in a self respecting cabinet. Whether it is childish for Kambwili to make such claims is not for a Government spokesperson to utter. Sinking to the depths of namecalling and gutter lingo is un ministerial. This is not the job of a government spokesperson. Selfrespecting governments and their ministers know when to open their mouths and when to ignore empty tins but our government certainly doesn’t
Kambwili is mentally disorganized. Pliz ba Mulenga forgive him.
ure all fools nd same category
Just useless this spokeswoman Sharon is…when are PF ministers and former ministers going to payback!!
Comment: listening to CK is good not just praising the president even nganya icisushi. we need such characters
THE SAD REALITY – THIS THE FACE OF OUR UNPROFESSIONAL GOVERNMENT – KAMPAMBA EDITION!!
Kambwili has joined a growing number of Under Fives in the nation. Not worthy a leader we need.
Sharon today you are Victor!!
This doesn’t have brains abosafye insita yonse.
This woman doesn’t have brains abosafye insita yonse.
Ck has chicken brain….
Insults wont help bane. When you are done with your insults, kindly ask remind CK and others about consequences of disobeying Court Order.
Court Order says pay!
Infact, those in office have already paid… It is only Kambwili who has not… so “dr. Kambwili Bufon… Just, pay!!!
no bane those blaming CK must grow up a bit and think out of the box than blind support you docile folks must use your brains the way GOD had planned for..Mr CK is correct on this and he should go to court to demand that Government refund the monies in full .Mr CK and other MPs had stopped working prior to the G.elections but they were called/summoned back by the boss E.C.Lungu and who mbwili to disobey the president .Mr Lungu called the shots on the law and it wasnt CK and so why should he repay the cash he was told to get by the president ..its the president to pay because the directive was his
The highest Court Ordered all ministers to pay back.
Unfortunately, the Court Order still stands. There is no appeal to that judgement. CK and others MUST Pay or be jailed for contempt of court.
Look you ministers just pay back the money….your appointments where constitutional…moreover president Lungu was not school head teacher but president…why didn’t you argue with the arttoney general before accepting…..just bring back the money CK and others…..
I REMEMBER ECL BOASTING ON ZNBC AND QUOTING THE CONSTITUTION SAYING THAT THE MINISTERS ARE SUPPOSE TO STAY IN THE OFFICE AFTER THE DISSOLUTION OF THE PARLIAMENT.HAVE WE FORGOTTEN ALL THESE SO SOON?
WHO MISLED THE MINISTERS?
THE ANSWER IS ECL.
Ignorance is not an excuse in law. Each time you accept a job, you are fully liable for matters arising from your position.
The Court Order said Ministers must pay back.
Is President Lungu a minister? If they have issues like having been forced to cling to ministerial positions, they can claim refund from the President. That’s how Law applies. I don’t even think anybody could be forced into employment. Next time, you might give an excuse when you are forced to work in a drug trafficking company.
This response by Kampamba Mulenga is the height of shameless irresponsibility and refusal of accountability to the people of this country prevailing in this PF administration. The appointing authority has them believe they are above the law. In true democracies, this statement should have earned a strong reprimand if not a sack!! A day of reckoning will come Ms. Mulenga, don’t get too comfortable. That is taxpayers money you all pocketed!
This is a clear case of vicarious responsibility
First year lawyers know that.
