Home Affairs Minister Stephen Kampyongo has warned people against politicizing the housing units for the men and women in uniform which government is constructing countrywide through AVIC international.

And Mr. Kampyongo says if some workers have concerns relating to their working conditions, they should follow the right procedure than being used by some politicians.

He has further counselled workers engaged by AVIC International on the housing project not to be used by greedy politicians who are bent on frustrating government projects.

Mr. Kampyongo says the housing project under his ministry has helped in creating employment for many Zambians and uplifted their living standards.

He was speaking at his office after officials from his ministry toured Mwembeshi and Lilayi housing units which are under construction.

Mr. Kampyongo has however directed the Police Command to always distribute the housing units fairly to the men and women in uniform.

Meanwhile, AVIC International Lusaka Site Engineer Qin Zhi said works on the Mwembeshi housing units are progressing well and that the 85 Lilayi Police housing units have since been completed.

And PF National Youth Committee Member Ibrahim Mwamba is disappointed that Roan Member of Parliament Chishimba Kambwili is recording conversations and posting them on social media.

Mr. Mwamba said politics of provoking government officials in order to record them and post on social media have never worked in Zambia.

    • Kambwili has helped workers get more money. But truly he has to stop calling and recording others. It is indeed lowest behavior full of styupidity. Zambian stop recording for social media, it is shear nonsense.

    • Extremely backward behavior. CK is very childish.
      Growing is serious business.
      How does a fellow be bent at behaving like a lunatic.
      One solution for him, store him in a jail cell. He will normalise.

    • The site Engineer is Chinese. Does it mean our engineers can fail to supervise construction of houses. What is wrong with us mwebantu. The law is there why are we not using it. The other problem we have in.Zambia is we don’t have enough watch groups who can take up such cases to our courts of law. Why should the Immigration department give permits to such people when we have our own?

  1. When are you arresting Kambwili beans mkubwa. This is really low life komboni politics. You all are acting like children. Not even male children, like girls.

  2. Ask Kambwili to finish constructing the houses the contact he got whilst in government not wasting time to try and political mileage.Just like HH please tell us how you bought the same government you undervalued.

  3. The last time i checked Zambia was a democratic nation, therefore there is freedom of expression enshrined in the Constitution of Zambia. Which constitution are you quoting sir?

  4. At what cost to the tax payer? Lack of transparency with AVIC dealings will always raise questions! Asking questions is not politics! It’s right to know! Every citizen has the right to take their leaders to task by asking questions about the running of our collective enterprise called Zambia! We pay tax and politicians are our servants who should be answerable to us and not issuing threats! You chaps kneel down when asking for our votes but it’s amazing the monsters you become after getting our votes! You don’t inspire us at all! Stop fighting like spoiled kids! Kids are watching!

    • A genuine entity with a genuine interest to uplift his country would never go for these China EXIM Bank contracts…if you are truly transparent and accountable about your dealings you wouldn’t be going out of your way to warn people against politicizing, you are a politician advising politicians not be politicizing ..how silly is that?

    • You wonder what those Engineers, Architects, PMs are doing at ZNS if they can not build housing units for defence staff….even a mere site engineer is a Chink on this project.

    • The best way to deal with kids is just ignore them when they see you take notice they just repeat the same thing over and over …these are mere children who logged on the net yesterday; they are not as sophisticated as MMD bloggers of yesteryear who would come on here and defend govt policy.

    • Just like ba Tayali, Sharon will be broadcasting her apologies to HH and all..
      She can avoid that by being objective as opposed to useless contributions I believe!

  5. If u are critical of these houses we will arrest you for that it is an insult to govt, us Kaponya’s in PF now rule the country, once we arrest you we will celebrate by fcuking Sharon our resident Hu!e if u have a problem give me call at state house

  6. To much theft on PF now you can’t even discuss houses they are building using tax payers money or they will lock you up in this PFoools police state, only Sharon is allowed to insult on a daily basis,selective judgment

  7. Warned! They are not your children, Kampyongo should never have been made minister, he is childish like Kambwili, HH, GBM and that NDC character.

  8. There is no review of strategy with this govt..they still carry on with these costly projects via Chinese route which are not transparent; creating casual employment and uplifted their living standards when a large chunk of funds goes back to China; we need a Social Act tabled in Parliament; Before they start the procurement process, commissioners/regulators should think about whether the services they are going to buy, or the way they are going to buy them, could secure these benefits for their area or stakeholders….Chinese EXIM Bank contracts are too expensive, suspect-able to malpractice. What innovation or value is AVIC bringing to constructing mere housing units in Mwembeshi and Lilayi…these houses are probably prefab from China with zero benefit to local industry.
    We need to…

    • smart on how we utilize borrowed funds…surely how can someone sit there and state he is President of a country when they are building substandard infrastructure at high specification quotes. You are there commissioning rip off buildings ..its unheard of.

    • @John Lain those top jobs have been given to Chinks who are mere laborers or peasants in China…there is no value addition from those contracts once the project finishes that’s it ..the contractor packs and goes; even the supply chain doesn’t learn anything from new ways of doing things as everything is mandarin!!

  9. PF and their rats on LT , can you tell us how a bycle shed looking structure you call a toll gate can cost k51 million while RBs complex with dwimimg pool can cost k5 million ????

  10. Every project that AVIC undertakes will always be politicized for obvious reasons.Infact every project that this PF government undertakes will always be politicized because it is common knowledge that they have amassed wealth from these projects

  11. IT IS ONLY AFTER KAMBWILI TALKED THAT THE WORKERS HAVE NOW RECEIVED CONTRACTS BUT WHY DID IT HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE COMPLAINS, DO WE NOT HAVE LAWS TO REGULATE SUCH ISSUES

  12. Anything to do with China man govt is very quick to come to their defence. When did govt become the public relations dept of Chinese companies in Zambia? PF led govt is not only in the hands of the Chinese but in the p.ants of the Chinese. And you call yourselves government of the Republic of Zambia when you are just toys of the Chinese. Shame
