State House has been accused of shielding former Zambia Air Force (ZAF) commander Eric Chimese who was recently fired for allegedly involving himself in corrupt practices.

Opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) consultant Chishimba Kambwili is suspicious that the alleged corrupt practices General Chimese involved himself in, may have been deep rooted.

KambwiliMr. Kambwili does not think the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) should take too long to probe General Chimese if State House itself was not involved in the alleged corrupt practices.

In an interview with QTV News Mr. Kambwili says he is therefore left with the impression that the dismissal of General Chimese was only to show keeping up appearances.

Mr. Kambwili says he is also in this case not surprised by the failure of the ACC to investigate Ministers mentioned in the Financial Intelligence Center (FIC) 2017 trending report.

He says what all people wanting all corrupt government officials to be prosecuted can do at this end is to just wait until the current government is removed from power.

An attempt to get a response from the President’s Special Assistant for Press and Public Relations Amos Chanda proved futile by broadcast time as his mobile phone went an answered when he was called.

    • Ramaphosa and Munangagwa’s system was bad.
      We know Ba Edgar is not doing so well with corruption, and people around him playing with pistols, that shouldn’t be reason to throw him out.
      With Eric, just leave him alone. That’s not worse than firetrucks.

  1. Kambwili there procedures to follow which you may not be aware of. You don’t even know whether or not the investigation has started. Or do you want the ACC to inform you at every stage the progress being made.

    • Nothing will happen to chimesa , that is the end of this. Only if he shows presidential ambitions or tells of lungus corruption will lungu try to silence him by brining in ACC…

  2. In Kenya Deputy Chief Justice was arrested whilst she was in court…in Zambia not even a mere local court magistrate can be touched …the whole system is rotten..Chimese will enjoy retirement and his full pension wont be touched as long as those thieves in State House are still in there.

    • In Rwanda opposition leaders were arrested and bundled in prison, in Zambia they are still roaming with their “tribalist-self.” In Congo they were not even allowed to come home. In Zambia they are still behaving like Children on the streets.

  3. There maybe procedures to follow as it stands but there must be some truth in it the way the all mattered is going to be handled,if the case takes too long to be disposed of then suspicion comes in of corruption.

  4. Iwe chi Kambwili yours is still not finished you are asking about other people.wait until you’re cleared then you can comment about others.Tayali says he enough evidence of your corruption so wait until the courts clear you.for now shut your rotten mouth.

  5. That is how lungu operates

    Chimesa got too greedy and did not give commission to lungu and his gang.

    The deal is , I will sack you, but keep silent and no political ambitions , if you talk or have political ambitions I will get ACC onto you…..that is how lungu works….

    This is the last we hear of chimesa until he starts talking or gets political then ACC will act….

  6. Chimesa can not be prosecuted , he will sing Like a bird if he is…… ZAF coppers used for rigging and the other grand corruption of lungu…..not even his ill gained wealth will be touched….only when lungu leaves office will chimesa sing as state witness.

  7. If I were you Kambwili, I would rather you keep quiet because how the hell did you get the luanshya golf club and built 500 plus housing unites when you were just a clerk even when you were declared redundant in ZCCM.

  8. Shame to all those who blindly defend the PF even when they have openly mismanaged the economy. Kambwili might not be the best person to speak against corruption but he is at least bold enough to speak on behalf of poor citizens.
