  1. This man is a cadre who doesn’t deserve mercy. He is no different from PF and UPND cadres who sit on roof tops of cars when ever there is a rally. It’s a shame that he can never change. He is making headlines in wrong things. With these kind of MPs where can a country go? Shame on you CK,you want to blame the cops if they turn on you in public. Respect there work. The airport is not Roan where they know you.

  2. Buffoonery right there on display! Surprisingly he will play victim and Hakainde will be on hand to give solidarity! I would rather vote for Muliokela than these two clowns.

    • Muliokela is more normal than Kambwili. It’s his appearance that let’s him down. …a book is not judged by its cover.

  3. That’s a security risk.

    Security has not been trained. Normal this was to subdue him using paper spray.

    At airport anywhere in the world you are scrutinized.

  4. What is wrong with this man. I think it’s better to ignore him by everyone including the media. Once you ignore him he’ll realize that he’s not newsworthy and will stop monkeying around. He wants attention. Deny him this, he disappear.

  5. Iam suprised people are trying to play politics on Kambwili behaviour his wife should know better that even in England people have gone to jail for racial remarks recorded on phones on buses and trains.There is no room for such behaviour in our modern society.His fellow clowns the Hakainde and the rest are supposed to condemn this kind of behaviour at all costs if at all they are true leaders.shame on the Kambwili if he thinks he is making himself popular.look at our brothers and sisters suffered in South Africa in the days of apartheid.

    • Hachilema hopes to woo Kambwili’so supporters by always showing solidarity to Kambwili. But if his own party can expel him it simply means that the majority of his supporters don’t approve of his antics.

    • @niga. How many jobs did he protect when he was a minister of labour. How many Indians he he shout at.

      Let us build this country with sincere hearts.

  6. We must equally blame airport staff.

    This simply shows that a terrorist can breaking security barrier at our airport.

    CIA must take keen interest in this case because all the terrorist in the world have seen that video making our airport vulnerability exposed.

    I just feel for politicians backing this kind of lawlessness.

    • Kambwili is a well known public figure and the security utilised their human intellect to avoid unnecessary alarm which is in itself a serious risk to the safety of others present. Even at the so called high level airports, security never just jump like headless chickens at anything but rather assess the sichu first and act. In most cases, they will act later away from the public.

    • @ Milllimo in security there is nothing like that. even your own biology father is suspect until proven innocent. If you see those security staff they have metal detectors. Its an international security measure to scan including workers.

      Are you saying Kambwili should board a plane without showing his passport just because hes known in Zambia. please let us educate one another sincerely.

    • Bushe why are people trying to justify every wrong this man commits? Why don’t we justify the actions of all those in our prisons so that they can be released? Politics have really made people unprincipled.

  7. Even in England you wait outside. With a tag on your shoulder if you have never met your guest.

    Once you step out you are not allowed to enter terminal again.

    These are international regulations. I just wish he did that in China

    • You are the fool for trivialising security issues. Even if you have just come off the plane, once you leave the luggage pickup area, you cannot go back using the same exit, even if your bags didn’t arrive. The normal way is to go in through the security scanning systems at the check-in area, even airport staff follow the security arrangements in case a foreign agent is placed on them without knowing. There’s no VIP on security. In fact if he wanted VIP treatment, he would have sort Airport protocol services where he could have received his wife in the VIP lounge.
      The law must take its course…

  8. This NDC and its leaders chishimba kambwili not even 10years in opposition, you are showing us your colors,

    Mu Bo sanganu muna muulu

  9. 2pf @ work late president sata was saying ill about Indians at kcm driving tractors he was not arrested the is patriot chabe

  10. The thing is kambwili can suite sata and he is far away from been a presidential material but near kaponya from chibolya if not kwawalale.i looking at his behavior I encourage the police to lock it up and ensure he is taken to chimbokaila he is a danger to society

    • Those supporting Kambwili should know that if it was in some other countries he was going to be shot without hesitation on suspicion of being a suicide bomber.

    • If CK did that at an American airport, he would instantly be immobilized with a taser gun, thrown into the cells, subjected to rigorous interrogation, and if found culpable really punished. They can even put him to sleep forever if they suspect he is a terrorist. I am just disgusted with bloggers here who are trying to justify the lawlessness of this rogue called Kambwili. If these bloggers think Kambwili’s stupidity is heroic, wt don’t they replicate this stunt at an American airport and see what will happen to them.

  11. Kambwili should behave. Tata namukula. Amano yabukaponya muleke. Even if u want us to sympathize with, u iyi yena teyo Tata mwaya sana. Don’t do unto others as u wouldn’t like them do unto u. Put yourself in govt then reflect on your behaviour. The more you talk the more u expose your foolishness. I like the words Fred Mmembe used to describe you.

  12. Whether he enters or not, it doesn’t matter to us, what matters is that you pay the agro dealers and farmers chapwa???????????? Not pet matters, you misguided chalartans.

  13. I blame airport security, they should have pinned him down and maybe locked him up. All places have rules and it includes public ones.

  14. Proper material to join trib.al and his alliance…..who else can entertain icisushi even in the name of human rights??

    Take the thing into mukobeko, no sorry that is reserve for one trib.al that I will not name for fear of trib.al insults….kikikiki. Jay Gay please protect me from your fellow trib.als…kikikiki

  15. RECOMMENDATION: what ck committed is UNLAWFUL INTRUSION under Standards and Recommended Practices for International aviation security. (SARPs)

    Secondly , the officers that allowed INTRUSION must be disciplined or the Company in-charge must lose the contract henceforth

    • Yes but that’s just punishing a struggling African security guard. African petty politicians make louder houses than the elected politicians. Let’s be fair, the law must treat this with great strength, he should see the inside of prison.

  16. much ado about nothing in this video.
    if it was some known pf cadre it wouldn’t have been an issue.
    inter called security intelligence for a reason. common sense must prevail. it’s no big deal, this’ not anything to pile on his arrest charges. I know he has a self sense of entitlement, which most Zambian politicians seem to have and that’s what you get
    it’s double standards. there’s a lot of breaches by those in the ruling party that have gone unpunished

  17. Lusaka International Aiport is porous. Even when in the queue when arriving in Zambia, I see people jump the queue and drop of their passports at the counter and just walk past security to go collect their bags. Once bags are collected they go back and pick up their passports and off they go.
    It doesn’t matter if you are Kaiser Zulu or Chitotela they must follow procedure, it is behaviour like this that made it possible for a terrorist to put a bomb on a plane headed to Russia from Egypt.

  18. Phew……what a catatonic descent into psychotic misdemeanour!! Does Kambwili look like a reasoning man? This is a wild man on the looooooose.

    He’s round liked the Goodyear Blimp… Sorry Badyear Blimp! This gonna be a bad year for him if they lock him up. It’s good to note the efficient police reaction to his crimes. The judiciary should remind him if what law making is. Shame on him. He needs to control his temper and the judiciary should correct him effectively enough for him to take his place in society as a law abiding citizen. He thinks he is above the law.

    • To me he looks like he doesn’t know whether he’s going or coming. Just look at his fighting against his expulsion from NDC and PF. A person with functioning brains would easily ditch one of the parties. But then this is Kambwili

  19. Feel pity on him look at his belly.If he faints it will be costly to send him abroad.
    Let him enjoy with madam who has come.He has done alot for PF.

  20. Lets give Dr Kambwili the benefit of the doubt.
    Dr Kambwili must exercise his constitutional right to silence. In fact, at this stage he is an accused and, must demand to see the state evidence contained in two criminal cases. Electronic evidence is not as easy as it appears on face value. There are so many rules which guide and question the validity and veracity electronic evidence.
    In both cases they are so twists and turns. Simply put, state prosecutors will have to employ a very hot iron in order to get rid of wrinkles which are apparent in both cases. Dr Kambwili needs expert witnesses. On careful reading of the tendered evidence, it can be vehemently argued that Dr Kambwili’s utterances in the first case are equivalent to parables. therefore, he must clarify what he exactly…

    • @postdot..why do we have cctv cameras. The this is that he crossed the yellow barrier. is there any defense. Criminals have been tracked using cctv cameras. electronic evidence

      The big issue here is that we are dealing with a law who gets paid for sitting in parly. And its very unfair to just watch him make laws. get paid for making laws. and then he breaks the same laws. That economic sabottage

      We shall soon be launching a realistic opposition political party to remove PF from power.

      An a non partisan political consultant

  21. Dr Kambwili needs expert witnesses. On careful reading of the tendered evidence, it can be vehemently argued that Dr Kambwili’s utterances in the first case are equivalent to parables. therefore, he must clarify what he exactly meant in his utterance on the material day. Currently, his utterances have been broadly interpreted, thus, he was arrested. Dr Kambwili must narrow down his utterance and be precise. He must use services of an erudite attorney. The second case shows a man who resembles Dr Kambwili but pictures can mislead anyone. Dr Kambwili is a Zambian citizen. That being so, he has a right to freedom of movement and association. The Zambian constitution presents the said learned scholar with such rights. The said airport is located within the Republic of Zambia. The case must…

  22. @#Its political..
    In response to your observation in my comments, Dr Kambwili may elect to enter into a not guilty plea and argue that he was drunk on both occasions. Additionally, and most importantly, Dr Kambwili may also indicate that he does not have any proper recollection of what transpired on both occasions due to the effects of alcohol on his memory. Suggestively, Dr Kambwili can say that whilst under the influence of alcohol, he consistently uses parables and that listeners frequently quote him out of context.
    Granted the aforementioned points, it follows that he will maintain his credibility in the eyes of the law. Subsequently, his erudite attorneys can and should discredit the tendered state evidence

  23. If CK did that at an American airport, he would instantly be immobilized with a taser gun, thrown into the cells, subjected to rigorous interrogation, and if found culpable really punished. They can even put him to sleep forever if they suspect he is a terrorist. I am just disgusted with bloggers here who are trying to justify the lawlessness of this rogue called Kambwili. If these bloggers think Kambwili’s stupidity is heroic, why don’t they replicate this stunt at an American airport and see what will happen to them.
