Roan Member of Parliament Chishimba Kambwili, who lost a case in which he was challenging his expulsion from the Patriotic Front party has appealed to the court of appeal. Lusaka High Court judge Maria Kawimbe on October 25 threw out Mr Kambwili’s application on technicalities. The court noted that Mr Kambwili who is also the was not serious with his matter.

According to a memorandum of appeal filed in the court of appeal, the appellant has appealed on three grounds.

In ground one, Mr Kambwili has accused the court below of having erred in both law and fact by failing to recognize his actions after its ruling dated July 5, 2018 as his proof of prosecution.

In ground two, the Roan Parliamentarian further accused Justice Kawimbe of having erred in fact and law by failing to recognize that the law duly provides for the varying of Orders of direction after the same have been issued.

In the last ground, Mr Kambwili charged that the court below misdirected itself in law and fact when it absolved the Respondent’s breach of Orders for directions while penalizing his legend breach of the same.

In July 2017, Kambwili sued the PF seeking a declaration order that the decision of the party’s central committee to expel him was illegal, wrongful, null and void.

In his statement of claim, the former information minister cited PF secretary general Davies Mwila as the respondent Defendant.

Kambwili wanted the court to declare that his rights under the PF constitution were infringed by not giving him a chance to face his charges and further sought an order that the PF central committee could not be complainant, accuser and judge in its own case against him.

But when the matter came up on October 25 judge Kawimbe threw out the case, saying it appeared the Plaintiff was not serious about proceeding with the matter.

Meanwhile, Ruling PF Secretary General Davies Mwila has written to Speaker of the National Assembly Dr. Patrick Matibini to declare the Roan Constituency seat vacant.

This follows the High Court’s decision to throw out Mr. Kambwili’s application yesterday 25th October 2018.

In a letter dated 26th October 2018, Mr Mwila said the PF Central Committee expelled Mr Kambwili on 24th July 2017 but he challenged the decision in the High Court.

But Mr Mwila said the matter was dismissed on October 25th 2018 by the High Court.

And PF Media Director Sunday Chanda says the PF is ready to move into Roan Constituency and retire Mr Kambwili.

Mr Chanda advised Mr Kambwili to shelve his plans to appeal the High Court decision in the Supreme Court saying doing so would be wasting Court’s time.

He said time has come now for Mr Kambwili to put his “imaginary” popularity to test by going for a by election in Roan.

    • Please leave the party and join UPND! You will be welcomed there just as GBM was and since both of you H-a not “Thieves,” you will rise quickly in rank. When GBM becomes the President of UPND after HH is forced into retirement by President Lungu in 2026, Kambwili may have a chance if he contests at the UPND CONVENTION and may become a Vice President to GBM. TONGAS have a very democratic party in UPND and you can do it boys.

    • Yes, gratuity, that’s what I am fighting for! Integrity palibe, nisebana wikute, that’s why I apologized to Lungu and Amos

    • TWO SYMBOLS, THREE PARTIES, ONE IMBWILI. CK IS CONFUSED. HE DOESN’T KNOW WHAT HE WANTS HERE IS WHY.
      First, he raises his two symbols. He could be his party, NDC with one hand (pointing) like sonta epowabomba or Second, UPNDEAD with another hand (stretched palm). Third the thick head is challenging his expulsion from the PF. Now, are there rights in Zambia where one could claim to belong to 3 parties at the same time? Court of appeals, please don’t entertain confused characters.

    • Kambwili is right and has a right to appeal and to be head so Sunday Chanda and Davies mwila just keep quiet coz you two are dull chaps,let highest court rule go go CK nankwe namkwe

  1. How can there be order in the country with characters like Kanbwili in leadership? Has this man got any morality? What is he appealing? What’s his grievance? He already has his own Party, can’t he concentrate on building it? What do his followers make of this, having a leader who’s clinging to another Party?

  2. Why is he so obsessed with being recognized by a party which does not want him anymore? This stubborn attitude and lack of dignity to close a chapter and move on will get him nowhere in life.

  3. Meanwhile hh wants his petition case to be heard and the buffoon wants to use the court to hold on to the seat for the sake of his graduity. Money in his pocket is all he is fighting for not his constituents. If today was May 2021 fentizo would’ve happily resigned from pf knowing that his bank account is pregnant.

  4. Ala…. Iwe kanbwili the issue at hand now is national dialogue….!!!! So are u going to be there or not? Why confusing to yoself… Iwe labakofye ifyakubwelela ku of.

  5. Kambwili is just a time waster. The quicker the courts see through him the better. He will be without income very soon. Then the real bitterness will show. Ni time chabe

  6. For sure let the courts deal with other pending issues. You have your share which you deserve. You have failed to cross a river where thee was a hippopotamus and you want to go try a crocodile infested area. Stop wasting your time and go for the big deal of president. Sharp.

  7. I do not support thieving and backwardness in OF, but with the same token have no kind words for Kambwili. Let him test his medicine. Fire him. Welcome to the life of a common Zambian, who is used to hardships that you referred to as being global. It will be harder for you bwana!

  8. Kambwili is wasting peoples’time. He has been expelled period. Kambwili move on you cannot hold the constituency to ransom. People need development and all you are doing is beakering. Please carryon with your NDC. “Chimbwi afwile ntangalala” The hyena died while trying to move on two seperate roads at the same time. Your two legs can only move on one road at a time. Ba PF tabelekufwaya maiche, Kabiye.

  9. You should also be aware that the Zambian citizenry have not forgotten how you used to insult them. Remember your answer on fuel increase when you were there as gov. Spokesman. How you used to insult HH.

  10. People like Kambwili are the ones who make our politics to look dirty as they have no morals at all.PF has made it clear that they dont need Kambwili,so why force himself on PF for the sake of gratuity?amazing stuff!!!
    Sometimes,i blame our judges because it is simple to conclude that CK belongs to NDC and not PF,so why cant they reject CK’s appeal urgently?
    There is no need even to seat in court over this matter.Kambwili is not a member of PF.He is NDC member full stop!!!THEREFORE,DECLARE THE ROAN SEAT VACANT NOW AS ROAN RESIDENTS NEED AN MP IN NATHAN CHANDA!!!

  11. You can now go to London have a cup of coffee and come back. You we are happy to travel to Lusaka once in a year as you boast of England to be in your back yard. Inshiku shalingenye umwana na nyina tepapa ngowakuroma. Ifwe twslibelela ukusashila no kukwangula.??????

  12. Why can’t you look up to Levy P Mwanawasa(HSRIP),the man with integrity. He resigned from his position as vice president and later became President.Lack of presidential material in Zambia.

  13. Sorry but I’m failing to understand Mr Kambwili. Mr Kambwili is president of a party and has been campaigning against the PF in all byelections we’ve had so far. Is he lacking pride or he’s simply a dull person who can’t distinguish day from night? There should be some sense of shame in people who aspire for high office. Instead of whimpering like a motherless puppy Kambwili must concentrate on strengthening his party.

  14. CHIMBWI AITILE MPASHI SHAMU BUBA MU MA TOLOSHI. SHOW US YOUR POPULARITY MR KAMBWILI. YOU HAVE NO MORALS. YOU MEAN WITHOUT PF YOU CAN DO NOTHING ON EARTH?

  15. HH and Mr Kambwili stop making noise just go to the drawing board. Namanongo mumeso nga yacilamo tulaya kucipatala mukupoka umuti. Icibemba citila, ifikala cimbwi tefikala nama yikata and chimbwi afwile intangalalo uku waya noku waya. Kabili batila shilili nangu tondolo musuma. My advice to HH and Kambwili is like this, keep quite and wait for 2021. If you are not sick
