Roan PF Member of Parliament Chishimba Kambwili has described as mockery, plans by President Edgar Lungu to evacuate him to South Africa for specialist treatment.
Mr Kambwili who said he is feeling much better now said the whole evacuation was suspicious because President Lungu has never allegedly cared for him health.
He maintained that government would do well to spend the money it wanted to evacuate him to South Africa on the poor people who have been on the waiting list.
Mr Kambwili was speaking to Hot FM Radio from his hospital bed at CfB Medical Centre in Lusaka on Monday morning.
“I was treated against medical ethics because as I was being arrested, government and the police knew exactly that my PB and my sugar levels were very high. And I was denied medical attention, I was locked up in a room that had no ventilation, where there was no where to sit and I had to stand right in front of a window so that I access air from the window,” Mr. Kambwili said.
He said it was therefore shocking that the people who caused his medical condition to worsen by detaining him were the same people who wanted to evacuate him to South Africa.
The Roan MP said the plans by government to evacuate him to South Africa for medical treatment last week was suspicious.
He further stressed that he will not commenting on key national issues despite facing 39 charges in court.
Mr Kambwili said he is ready to face the state in court and described the 38 charges as trumped up.
“What they did was to go to my bank records and get bank records as far back as 2010. So those 39 charges are basically the deposits I used to make which they say are suspicious which is really laughable,” Mr Kambwili said.
CK is just faking it. He managed to dupe the opposition into believing that he was on the verge of death by wearing a mask in hospital. In Zambia, oxygen masks are associated with serious illness; with someone who is running out of breath; who is about to die and that is why the opposition heard descended on his hospital bed like flies on a rotten flesh when they heard about an oxygen mask. They thought the fellow was dying. Yes, his BP might have short up as a result of confinement in a cell. The doctors at UTH could have easily given an objective assessment of his illness that is why he was so reluctant to go there. His family knew the trick. Which relative would turn down an offer for speciality treatment abroad?
Dear Malingerer Kambwili. Mockery begets Mockery.
For someone supposedly on the verge of death, Kambwili is still barking loudly, and playing politics.
This man will argue for eternity to be allowed through the gates of heaven.
Anyway, ‘get well’ soon baby Cobra.
Emmy Mwamba is one who is mocking, ati ” send Kambwili so I can take selfies with him”.
Mwamba ine alampapusha.
Very silly Kambwili instead of doctors attending to people who are really sick and you faking illness..that shows how shallow minded you are. I don’t like Lungu either but I will vote for him any day if you had to stand against him. Stop pretending to be sick..when time comes for you to be sick you won’t even have time to issue press statements
Big Malingerer Kambwili..a big man like you faking illness
Never in my life have i heard an ICU patient talking the loudest more tgan that well people. Chalo nshi? That ICU must be unique and should be advertised abroad maybe zambia can benefit. People stay in icu months without even blinking and this buffoon is even posting on Facebook daily. I wont be surprised to hear that he has been discharged and straight away go to parley to support the impeachment motion.
Imagine someone in ICU talking the loudest…issueing statements after statements..also very busy on Facebook..thank God this clown Kambwili is not in Government and his seat should be declared vacant
The planned evacuation was a mockery because your admission to ICU was also a mockery. Ati punch for punch kanshi kuwayawayafye!!
On what basis did the Head of State sign an EVACUATION ORDER for CK? You mean all the Medical Doctors, included are those at the Health Ministry, actually deceived the President?
Let us know the truth? OR is that CFB Hospital advised the President?
You wanted to kill him. Why not go to South Africa yourself? Kambwili has all the rights to refuse offers from enemies. Can an enemy wish you well? Can the causers of an illness be the remedy of an illness? Did Kambwili say he dint have money fro special treatment? Why not evacuate the poor who cannot afford special treatment? Kambwili has all the rights to refuse an offer. In some countries in the world, he has a right to Euthenesia too.
We need to be reading articles on new industries being set up, actions being taken to reduce child mortality, setting up bursaries for kids from disadvantaged backgrounds, what incentives are being given to teachers, local innovators and entrepreneurs etc. Alas, we are being fed with irrelevant stories of one Kambwili, thanks to the incompetence and clueless person at the helm of this country.
Mr Kambwili, I know for sure you got dirt on most Govt officials. Therefore sir I believe you.
CK is playing stupid theatrics. Yes he has diabetes, hypertension and all but what he is doing now is pure drama. The chap must stop playing drama and answer to the corruption charges. anyone who thinks CK is clean and did not steal from the poor people of our country is being disingenuous or outright stupid. That others within PF stole shouldn’t stop us from demanding answers on how he got his wealth. CK stole period. CK is a thief. He shouldn’t scare us about his death. We or rather the poor people of our country wont get worse because one fat, oversized thief who has an oversized ego has died. am sick of this CK
“anyone who thinks CK is clean and did not steal from the poor people of our country is being disingenuous or outright stupid.”
Can you expand this, can you say the same for ECL? Just deep from your heart as an objective person.
This buffoons’ charade will come to a crushing stop like for one M’m… and cartel. Just how many people live and work with diabetes and high BP in Zambia. Probably all the judges!! So stop fooling yourself coz you are fooling no one. Clear the thieving charges.
Leave hospital and go to court. it’s normal for criminal investigation officer to get bank statements of the suspect. Kabwindi wisamwa icalo cabanabene
Edgar LUNGU’s bank statements would be even more jaw-dropping!
Changwa chakolwa should be investigated too.
Yama ulifye bwino, how can a sick person in ICU refuse govt’s offer for specialized treatment?
Ba Luapula Ntondo ubupuba…make me understand something…i come to ur place wants to kill…after injuring u..i then say no…let me take u to the Hospital…am i making sense….Who arrested CK.why did they deny him bond….ala sometimes think b4 ukubosa…i rest my case….
Ya ichi,this man talks a lot eh.
I think it was wrong for Gov’t in the first place to offer a suspect who is in custody special medical treatment; I think that is why he is now playing games with them. Why should we always rush to give these politicians medical treatment abroad, when the same people are failing to develop and uplift our local medical facilities to desired standards? but continue to empty the Gov’t coffers, instead. Who says they are to be given such preference over the ordinary citizenry? Dr Kaunda was and has always been admitted at UTH, why allow these noise makers to steal from us and then give them more favours, using tax payers money again??? Please take him to Maina Soko Military Hospital – the soldiers can take good care of him in case he picks up a fight.
God bless Zambia!
It’s normal for those facing corruption related charges to fake illness, even Dora pulled a stunt at Fairview Hospital. Hichilema faced a treason charge whose penalty is death and was locked up for 126days, he came out fit. Kambwili was detained for 3 hours and he’s still in ICU, that’s the level of hypocrisy
PF should have just injected a killer drug in this Shrek Man.He is a pain in the ass.
BaCK na Carol remember that humility is the key thing those silly tactics you are playing ati one day they won’t work .Mwilapumya lesa you and your husband you know very well that you have stolen politics can be there but the truth of the matter is ukwiba mwaliba and a lot of wrong things you have done .Dont be greedy God will only answer your prayers if you acknowledge.Otherwise your prayers are in vain .Mark my words good day ba cadre won’t be there for you .
“Mr Kambwili who said he is feeling much better now said the whole evacuation was suspicious because President Lungu has never allegedly cared for him health.” Just this paragraph has made me lose interest in this item. LT, please employ an editor.
The Boy who cried wolf
Kambwili is the most STUPID being on earth and unfortunately found in the land of Zambia. You do fake a near death situation whilst there are souls that are in serious need of life to save others that they genuinely look after. You went on TV and said that you can fly to UK and have Coffee in the morning and fly back in the evening. You said you have serious contracts in the mines and that you make so much money within an hour. just account for that and also the same digital migration and Topstar deal. ZNBC employees are ready to testify how you made Lusambo sign the contract when Richard Mwanza went on leave and he (Richard) refused to sign that deal. Now you are boosting over stolen public funds. You are like POST who demonised people on various fraud accusations including Tax yet they…
Some of PF idi.ot rats don’t know that bp and suger levels can raise to dangerous levels in a matter of hours, necessitating ICU treatment immediately……a drip and rest restores some form of normalcy again in a matter of houres.
Just talk about tribalism your fellow zealots will tick you up.
Ba Kambwili, please let it be. You declined the evacuation end of the story. What are you trying to gain. A real man doesn’t spend time on frivolity like a village woman. For your information it’s government’s duty to ensure all sick prisoners are given adequate medical attention because it’s a crime to let a prisoner die in prison. ..even by international standards. Also remember the passport your have is state property and can be revoked without notice therefore your brother’s boasting that you can evacuate yourself is out of ignorance.
Kwena ba tata aba eh.. kuti waseka kwati nafiwama. As unpredictable as German weather in April.
Who is mocking who? It’s not cool to turn down help just because you feel strong enough to make it on your own. Things change so quickly and the same bridge that you burn today might be the only one you need to make you cross over to life tomorrow.
Why everyone is showing harsh hatred to Hon. Kambwili? tone down guys you definitely gain zero but instead hurt yourselves. He is a litmus that’s why he is on wanted…it is like your only looking at one side of the coin flip it. if you can, after you flip magnify it you will see the what he sees. I don’t like people who talk too much either BUT I leave you with an African wise saying; “never ignore a barking dog.” just take a critical look in its direction you will see what it is barking at….something not nothing!
Dogs bark at there own shadows and this is not different from this buffoon. I cant waste my time listening to ck who has no evidence. He promised you that he wilk soill beans sometimes last year and to date he has said nothing. Two weeks ago he failed to produce evince in parley before the special committee saying ati naumfwilekofwe .
Mr. Kambwili, you are a mockery itself. Just a few hours in police cells and you start behaving like you are a dying pig. Real people spend years inside and still come out strong. Wait for time when you get the real sentencing.,,,,,
They say “it takes two to tango”. Why was he arrested upon arrival from a medical trip? Surely he could have been given chance to recover fully, at least a week or so.Then the ‘ICU patient’ also is so talkative. What kind of ICU is he in?
ck thank u ,u recover soon father God bless u father
Why did he not refuse the other time he was rushed to receive his second life in South Africa? The answer is because he was not Charged by then. When the Charges are dropped the guy shall suddenly become stronger than the hyena’s jaw. The earlier you deal with your case the better for your health. You stood on an ant hill and dared the ACC and now you are crying for mercy, what a joker.
Kambwili, take it easy, we have seen worse things than what you are trying to do and all to nothing! Just a deep introspection ba Kambwili and you will realize that not too long ago before President Lungu showed you the door, you were the one who breathed smelly breath on anyone who spoke sense. Today, you Kambwili of all the people can now stand on the podium and even embrace the Under 5, what nosense is this? Look, politics of hoodwinking, lies and deceit as practiced by you and UPND, HH, are long gone and they cant get you no support. Students, marketeers, farmers, youth, old and young, school children know for sure that HH and now you Kambwili are total mess hell bent on nothing but trying so hard to use them to feed your ego. The sad news to you is that, these people know that you…

Students, marketeers, farmers, youth, old and young, school children know for sure that HH and now you Kambwili are total mess hell bent on nothing but trying so hard to use them to feed your ego. The sad news to you is that, these people know that you are just damn liars with no substance. At least they are able to see through your blind eyes.
You are even lucky to be offered the service. There is a man, 90 year of age and suffering without help from our Government. This is the Man Mr. Chikuma Fabian X. and his wife Veronica who contributed so much to the Education sector writing books for our schools to use.Go to CDC and check for these names and what they did for mother Zambia. Many of the well off know him well for his contribution to what they are today. Who is Kambwili to be forced or indeed begged to be helped? It pains me that once in politics, one is held so high even when they are no better than the rest.
They’ll now seize Kambwili by the balls and he’ll squeal like a pig.
Let the law take it’s course – but at the same time the ‘hatred’ for Kambwili should not cloud a sober analysis of how State institutions and processes are used for personal political battles, revenge and vengeance. The ACC is clearly used only for those out of favour with government and deemed a threat – not for those currently serving, licking and stealing.
Stupid lyobe iwe, you think your ailment is more sacred than others.
This thinking of trying to over-ride the mass with political rhetoric will not do you any good.
Great men and women have died with pride in their mouths and bellies.
Personally I can’t sympathise with you. Politics by its nature, particularly in Zambia is a blur.
What you are going through ba guy imwe is not new nor strange. A former head of state
has had his presidential immunity lifted and subsequently tried before the courts of law
in that country. A former head state was once locked-up locked on christmas eve, only upon plea
from continental political titans was he released. elyo imwe atshani?
You know your medical/health limitations yet you want to govern the mass. At the slightest provocation…
ICU admission was a mockery! This guy is the reason Zambia has poor caliber of leaders. He must appear in court and stop “collapsing” when he knows he has to answer questions.
Punch for punch? He was aware of his wrong doing that why he started mentioning other in crime so that by the time he is charged people will think he is being victimised for revealing the corruption in government. But to his suppose he has only attracted HH as his defender. It amazing how Mr Hakainde Hicilema comes out in support of people he once rebelled court but are no longer in government. He is embarrassing his supporter like Hon Mwitwa who are serious about the fight against corruption. He was the first one to escorts mr RB to court. HH does not mean what he says that why GBM has started the new symbol of Rowling hand against him but he doesn’t know. He thing they are callING for ECL to go.
Muli bapuba imwe ba Kambwili. You are given and olive branch and you want to spit in the president’s face? I am curious as to how you made so much money as a clerk from Nchanga to build manshions and even a township. You are going to die and very few will care less because you like GBM thought after late president Micheal Sata, the presidency would be yours. Only Micheal Sata knew better and understood both you and GBM’s temperament. We are not fools. Ulabeja on this one.
Those of you who insult Kambwili, it will not bring any dollar in your pocket, let alone food on your table. You will remain in your poverty stricken country and you will continue manufacturing Cholera, building potholes on your roads, manufacturing dirty politics and exporting sick people to South Africa in the name of evacuation.
HH and Kambwili are are a mockery.
