The summoning of Hon. Kambwili has nothing to do with politics-Zambia Police

NDC Consultant Chishimba Kambwili has been charged with three counts of forgery, altering false documents and giving false information, Police spokesperson has said.

President Lungu fired Hon Kambwili from Cabinet for frustrating efforts by the Anti Corruption Commision to carry out investigations on suspected corrupt acts he committed.

Addressing the media shortly after Mr Kambwili was charged, Police spokesperson Esther Katongo said the charges were not politically motivated but purely criminal matters.

“We have charged Hon. Chishimba Kambwili with three counts as follows: 1. Forgery which is contrary to section 342, 2. Uttering False documents contrary to section 352 and Giving False Information to a public officer contrary to section 125 of the Penal Code, Chapter 87 of the Laws of Zambia. He will appear in Court soon,” Said Ms Katongo

“As Police, we wish to state that the summoning of Hon. Kambwili has nothing to do with politics as he insinuated when he addressed the media yesterday but that this is purely a criminal matter.”

And Chilufya Tayali who reported the matter to the police has vowed to make Mr Kambwili pay for some of the sins he committed to Zambians whilst claiming to be as white as KK’s Handkerchief.

Kambwili yesterday told journalists that police went to search at PACRA and discovered that he had signed annual returns on behalf of his son who is the director at Mwamoneni Engineering, a company he claimed he had nothing to do with.

Meanwhile, Chilufya Tayali has said he is ready to testify in court with evidence of how Mr Kambwili opened bank accounts, signed contracts using his son’s name, collected money and never finished the projects yet no one touched him because he was a bully of a minister.

In an effort to hide his corrupt acts, Hon Kambwili upon being fired for corruption, embarked on a smear and mudslinging campaign where he has been on rumpant accusing goverment officials of corruption in every massive developmental project being undertaken.

In a similar attempt, yesterday Kambwili held a press briefing with the hope of creating a public perception that he was being tormented but it is yet to be seen how long he will keep evading the long arm of law.

    • Only daft PF cadre would believe that nonsense that the arrest of Kambwili is not political

      If its not political why is he being arrested now instead of when he committed crime and awarded tenders using the same company by PF.?

      This is a political witch hunt.

      PF is full dull people who sh1t brains in toilets and carry sh1t in their heads.

    • Ba Mwata Katongo……if the arrest of Kambwili has nothing to do with politics then also having a wedding has nothing to do with sex.

  1. The good part is Zambians do not really care so no one will play ’till death do us part with him’. Instead, we will go about with our normal day activities in search of food.

  2. Creating fake companies and awarding yourself govt. contracts is CORRUPTION!!! Esther, don’t even waste time explaining, just arrest that noisy empty drum!!!

  3. The policewoman is scared to be fired hence speaking as if she is saying sensible things. All those hungry cops are cowards they take instructions from PF cadres.

    • Look at this kind of thinking,we are dealing with a diligent issue here,it’s criminal what’s the point of insulting someone doing her work?

  4. “NDC Consultant Chishimba Kambwili has been charged with three counts of forgery, altering false documents and giving false information, Police spokesperson has said.
    President Lungu fired Hon Kambwili from Cabinet for frustrating efforts by the Anti Corruption Commision to carry out investigations on suspected corrupt acts he committed.“

    Here looks like the police have a case against honorable Kambwili, this case we service as precedent;Chisholm v. Georgia, 2 U.S. (2 Dall.) 419 (1793), is considered the first United States Supreme Court case of significance and impact. Given its date, there was little available legal precedent (particularly in American law).[1] It was superseded in 1795 by the Eleventh

    • That to me sounds like a civil case. Why should Tayali be the complainant in these cases? Should it not be Kambwili s son to report the matter?Also is what Kambwili s supposed case a case to detain him? also why are people accused of plunder in the nation not summond by ZP? Why is Tayali more important than other whistle blowers?Why have ministers that were ordered to pay back money by the court not being charged with contempt of court?

  5. Tayali your informer aka Super Grass for survival is walking the streets after having intercourse with a minor. Mukula logs, etc…?!

  6. Police fails to work.Police is always sided with PF.Police agreed with PF to send PF cadres to levy mall so that they can hike NDC supporters.They talked to their boss who agreed to chase NDC sympathizers
    to levy mall and confine them there so that PF cadres can hike them. police officers are so evil no wonder they are involved in money laundering.They can’t be trusted with anything.they can be used like clothes.it’s so shameful this is the department full of criminals and uneducated chaps.The only people to trust are army officers.It’s so shameful that police can’t arrest cadres.I have chatted with police officers and most of them just say it openely that ruling PF cadres have powers.Kaizer Zulu can’t control Zambian arny but can control the police. shame on police.u even go for…

  7. If you had picked him while he was Minister, I would believe you. You wait soon you will be locked up for all the lies you have been peddling in Zambia. This govt thinks we are all stupid, sadly you thieves that stole the victory of HH are trying hard to make yourselves relevant but all is failing.

  8. Wonder why P.F officials ONLY get investigated once theyve left P.F.
    Happened to G.B.M, who was “Cleared” of the Zesco pole saga by the compromised A.C.C, only to be re investigated after he left the Plunderers Federation – P.F.
    KAYA??

  9. God ihates liars.To say one can mix politics with God’s work is a HOAX in this sinful materialist world.1.Christians for Lungu. 2.Lungu is chosen by God is pure insanity b4 all holy angels. So God chose Lungu to b a little god to transform Zambia into a former Zimbabwe like state? Plz u so called “men and women of God” who peddle these lies and things like a)God is a trinity, b)the rapture,c)the flight to heaven and eternity in hell should sober down.By peddling these lies to milk your flock and please a tyrant for dear food is a terrible miscalculation that will cost u eternity. Making ur stomachs full is for animals and not for humans.True humans seek for a vision and not use instincts to use pangas to access the easiest path to ukwikuta.Ukwikutisha kills LOVE. Many a woman got into…

  10. Some bloggers are so blind folded that they think we are all like them. Who thinks we can believe them when they tell us that only those who are in opposition or resigned from government are criminals? This year God is punishing you with drought, we shall see where you going to find maize to steal

  11. This is one of the reasons we cant develop as a country because we see politics in everything.its a criminal offence to fake names.Kambwili committed a crime.my friend was jailed for two years for forgery,so CK must jailed too.

    • Two of my friends – both prominent businessmen in Kitwe – spent one year each with hard labour at Kamfinsa for exactly the same offense during KK’s time. What makes Kambwili so special?

  12. Just a hypothetical scenario. ….Harry Kalaba is caught shoplifting in Mansa Shoprite and he’s arrested. Is it political or global?

  13. if it is not a polital issue, why is sunday chanda issueing statements that kambwili should learn to respect the president?

  14. He is admitting in front of the nation that he signed on behalf of his son. Very stupid as what? You have no official capacity in your son’s company. You don’t sign official documents by merely being a relation to someone period.

    • You never sign for anyone else unless you are officially authorized to do so by a bank with which you your organization has an account. If you are not on a signing panel, and then you sign on a cheque, you can be in maningi trouble. Anyone who has been on a signing panel in an organization will tell you this. If his son will testify on his behalf and provide evidence that his father, CK, is an authorized signatory, then CK, will definitely be cleared of any offense of forgery. Otherwise, kaya.

  15. Why has znbc stopped covering him? And why has he stopped making those impromptu visits to znbc like he used to, when he was monster, why is znbc not covering Harry kalaba’s luapula tour like they always used to do, what has changed?

  16. My analysis of the people who escorted Kambwili is that they are from chingola going by the names mentioned. And at least one of them has been stealing from KCM on behalf of Kambwili.

  17. Listening to the video of Kambwili at the police station you wonder if this guy is presidential material. Ukusata. ..everything from calling Lungu a thief, calling on street vendors to defy Lungu, how Lungu stole a clients money. At least I saw some dignity of some sort in HH. A person aspiring for the highest office must always be calm and composed not hallucinating like a dog inflicted by rabies. Surely if this is what his supporters think is leadership, I feel sorry for them. Anyway they all scroungers.

  18. You never sign for anyone else unless you are officially authorized to do so by a bank with which you your organization has an account. If you are not on a signing panel, and then you sign on a cheque, you can be in maningi trouble. Anyone who has been on a signing panel in an organization will tell you this. If his son will testify on his behalf and provide evidence that his father, CK, is an authorized signatory, then CK, will definitely be cleared of any offense of forgery. Otherwise, kaya.
