The Luanshya magistrate court has adjourned to January 14, 2019, the case in which New Democratic Congress (NDC) leader Chishimba Kambwili and 11 others are charged with unlawful assembly.
This is in a matter in which the Roan Member of Parliament (MP) is jointly charged with 11 AVIC International workers.
The twelve appeared before court for mention this morning.
Luanshya Resident Magistrate Kalutwe Chiluba, who was sitting in for Principal Resident Magistrate Obster Musukwa of Ndola, adjourned the matter to January 14, 2019 for mention.
Magistrate Chiluba, who extended bail for the accused persons, further set February 11, 2019 as the date for commencement of trial in the case of unlawful assembly.
Earlier, the magistrate court granted the accused persons a K30, 000 bail in their own recognisance respectively.
Dr. Kambwili was arrested for unlawful assembly on November 30, 2018, a few days after a group of angry protesting workers from AVIC International in Luanshya went to his residence to express their grievances on alleged appalling working conditions.
Meanwhile, chaos almost erupted outside the Luanshya magistrate court when Dr. Kambwili tried to address his 11 co-accused persons, their families and his sympathizers after appearing in court.
However, police stopped Dr. Kambwili from addressing the crowd, a move that incensed him.
He complained that his rights were being infringed upon as a human being.
He dared police to arrest him again for the same charge as he was going to address his co-accused at his residence.
Who cares

Kambwili walks like he is going down a flight of stairs.
Charity has messed up PF, this Kambwili case will cost Ba Edgar alot of Presidential votes for his 3rd term.
This is what you were saying when GBV joined UPND, now what happened in Kasama? You will be shocked in 2021.Let the speaker of the National Assembly declare Kambwili seat vacant is when you prove that he is not a political factor.
Kambwili appears strong now with reduced fainting. ECL also is strong, it appears that akalasia disease is gone, he fainted once. Winter said Kambwili is a weak chap. Kambwili said when Winter was fired, people were happy and that when him Kambwili was fired people were sad – how does he know. Repeal chi colonial public order act please though the act is okay, just being abused by the Police FORCE
If people only knew how many people die in custody waiting for their day in court,whilst the courts are being abused by the State,so sad it appears this government has failed to demonstrate responsible governance,the courts are abused,parliament is abused with their arrogance of numbers,as for the executive it is a sham,they fail to account for monies whilst trying to tax the citizens to death what a useless government.
This thing Kambwili, totally distorted or is it disfigured, on top of a sweaty and smelly neck. Too smelly to even lock up in a police cell, lock it up in the stadium or else inmates will be poluted with sti.nk!
This case will go nowhere and he will be aquitted. That is why all these adjournments.
I have yet to be tutored on legal points as to why the Speaker of the National Assembly is hesitant to declare the NDC leader’s Parliamentary seat vacant. The voters in Luanshya are being denied the right to exercise their rights on flimsy technicalities. Kambwili’s refusal to resign his Parliamentary seat proves that he is a dishonest and unprincipled political CROOK. Besides, Kambwili’s new friends speaks volumes as regards to some African political misfits ganging up for lack of social integrity – sharing assumed richness as their common denominator.
Only God knows we’re going.
