National Democratic Congress Leader Chishimba Kambwili has urged President Edgar Lungu to immediately step down as Head of State. Mr. Kambwili said that President Lungu has clearly failed to govern the country because he has run out of ideas and urged citizens to unite and remove the the ruling Patriotic Front (PF) through the ballot in 2021.

Mr . Kambwili said that he will continue speaking out for the people of Zambia despite being blocked by police adding that no amount of fear and intimidation will stop him from speaking out for Zambians.

The NDC leader said that he was worried that the police service under the instructions of the PF Government has continued denying opposition political leaders permits and has since warned the police command who are working with the PF that their days are numbered.

The NDC leader said this in an interview with journalists in Chipata yesterday.

Meanwhile, Mr. Kambwili has said that he has been vindicated over his stance on Konkola Copper Mines (KCM) and that it has always been the aspiration that KCM packs and goes.

Mr. Kambwili accused PF leaders of eating with KCM that has failed miners on the copper belt, noting that Zambia is broke as could be seen from the failure of government to pay civil service their salaries.

  1. Lungu is the worst crook this country has ever seen as a leader, and God willing , will be the last of his kind.

    Ati humble leader……the man is a serpent with a bible. He watches on as opposition are hacked and denied democratic space.

    That order to his pf thugs by lungu to cease fire during roan elections was only because commonwealth lawyers had gathered in Livingstone.

    A call to his thugs to cease fire lead them to lose roan. Lungu can not win without violence and intimidation.

    Expect a full of cader violent assault in any next election.

    • Am just worried that even buffoons can call for the president to step down. People with no substance who cant become presidents of zambia can even gather such confidence to point of challenging one ECL. We’re in trouble maningi. Where are the credible people in zambia to rise to the occasion and provide selfless leadership not revenge on an individual.

    • Kambwili, which is which:
      – Ba Edgar to step down, when he has no vice-president? or
      – Citizens should vote him out?
      Which is which, which of your 2 balls do you trust most?

    • And that’s the reason I can’t stand Politicians anymore…..they cant work together for the good of the country…just tearing each other down….why cant we all work together???? Even bloggers cant get along just insulting each other online every day….what is wrong with us????

    • Imwe ba chidumbo that we all know so stop yapping about it over and over. Just give us your plan I even doubt whether you have one because all of you politicians take us for fools since we are docile. You all think insulting each other is what will win you votes
      But as far as I’m concerned you would equally be a failure in state house because you only began seeing Lungu as a failure after he kicked you out of his government

    • Now i believe that Zambia does not have crooked politicians but dull ones only. And kambwili is definitely one of them. If at all lungu is doing wrong things (for which i belive some are) then ck is the main causer. Ck campaigned for lungu more than anyone else on the copperbelt and its him who made him win. now just 2 years after he wants me to help me clean up his mess and cause another mess. God help help us remove the whole generation of current dull, crooked, mean, stingy, recycled, visionless, heartless and witches politicians-only solution.

    • BUFFOON CK needs to sort his house in order and work out something with Musenge…what’s stopping him being on PF payroll even attending PF meetings and calling himself a NDC consultant. Think you dumb sh%t…next they will use the registrar and the Speaker. You think people will turn up to vote again? Think Think have a sit down with Musenge!!

    • Between HH and Lungu…..i will pick Lungu…..
      Between HH and Kambwili i will pick HH……Everyone Zambian knows that Kambwili is just a noise maker who campaigned for Lungu by insulting Tongas everyday…Kambwili is the most useless Politician and HH should be very careful when dealing with buffoon Kambwili

    • Hello Yes we are all frustrated at what’s going on.

      The only guarantee of a responsible Head of State is our collective drive and persuasion to CHANGE THE ENTIRE SYSTEM OF GOVERNANCE. Under which the current Rule of Man, the monarch type, will be constitutionally abolished.

      Can we dedicate this period, 2019 to 2021 as a preparatory phase for a RADICAL TRANSFORMATION, we need to move and thus CALL ZAMBIA TO ORDER as a matter of priority and extreme urgency.

  2. Kambwili created this so called humble monster called lungu. He should first start by apologising to the Zambian people. Why should any Zambian heed his calls ? We need a system of governance which allows citizens to hold the ruling party accountable and a constitution which allows for mid term reviews by the citizens.

  3. What vindication on the kcm matter when it was HH who fought for this and called the pf out? Lungus reaction is just a knee jerk reaction based on fears that hh is now connecting with the copperbelt. Lungu gas called for those companies to leave but has failed to tell us how he will implement his stance and what measures he has in place to reduce the shock effects should these companies decide to leave. Lungu is a chimbwi no plan. These are the guys who used to sit ndwiiiii in class

    • That is the problem with you upnd you think you know all ,just that he visit you think you have become popular you even started insult ck wait and see

    • Zam I am struggling to decipher your comment . Please feel free to express yourself in any local language. This is in no way meant to be condescending

  4. CK just put matters in order with Mwenye Musenge.

    Why can’t CK,Musenge and whole NDC sit down and iron out their differences..?

    Politicians should know know that being in POLITICS doesn’t mean that Laws shouldn’t applied for them.Its pays for doing right things in in every endeavors of life.

  5. I do not think Kambwili can be a better leader than Lungu.The NDC man is just arrongant and rude in my honest opinion.Wanting to be a president at any cost and to an extent of even insulting and maligning others is not a mark of good leadership.Zambians be careful.

  6. Kambwili, & Ba Jona are both Corrupt violent Brutes, cut from the same cloth.
    Kambwili was Jona Chakolwa’s enforcer, until he got kicked in the B@11s by Jona, & told to move!
    Problem with majority of Zambians, especially Brain dead P.F Cadres is they lack analytical evaluation skills.
    All the information is there @ the click of a button, you can re -visit how Kambwili defended Jona’s wrongdoing to the hilt, right up to when he was sacked.
    Has poverty really affected Zambian citizens memories? Just a few days before being sacked, Kambwili is on film intimidating poor journalists, for daring to question “Humble Drunken One” -Jona’s misrule.
    * DOCILE & FORGETFUL ZAMBIANS, PLEASE CLICK & SEE KAMBWILI’S PERFORMANCE ON SUNDAY INTERVIEW. This guy had his tongue so far up Jona’s…

    • cont;
      this Guy Chimbwili had his tongue so far up Jona’s b@cks1de. its unbelievable, Zambians would buy the cr.@p Chimbwili is now spewing against his former “Loveable Humble Drunkard, Jona”. ONLY IN ZAMBIA!!

    • It is not supporting what CK is saying , we are supporting his democratic right to speak at a rally of his choosing.

      Even if it was GBM being denied his right to address any rally by the police , we would support GBM ……

    • Spaka I agree, BUT off all people Kambwili should NOT moan, as he was the architect & supporter of this same brutality hes now experiencing. Chimbwili made his bed, therefore he should now comfortably lie in it, whilst smiling in peace.
      Maybe only when these Goons suffer @ makings of their own, will they begin to think, & NOT use their Bellies & D1c.ks to function when eating, @ the High table, as theres always tomorrow, when the High table may no longer be there for you!
      So to P.F, the message from me “Pana uyo Kambwili, alile monga ka Kitti”!!

  7. KCM is part of the Mwanawasa legacy. Edgar has his own short-comings. However, Kambwili isn’t the alternative because he’s in the league of political idyots.

    • Kambwili wouldn’t be talking if he was still in government. He’s a very unprincipled animal. He hung on to the Roan seat even when he was expelled from the PF. We may be going a rough time but surely Kambwili is not even 2million kilometers to the solution. Zambians must be level headed otherwise this frenzy over Kambwili will land us in trouble. He’s just a loudmouthed crook.

  8. PF killed freedom and democracy in this country the day they took over power and it was buried under ECL’s reign

  9. Kambwili should for now put his house in order “NDC” first. Before he comes out in public as President of the party.

    • All has to do is simply ask Musenge what he wants? Its better now when they have only one seat in Parley…they are also embarrassing their MP

  10. Iwe editor wa LT why is my comment forever awaiting your moderation? You acting like mapoma and Chanda kasolo wanting to censor anyone you don’t like.
    I posted:
    Imwe ba chidumbo that we all know so stop yapping about it over and over. Just give us your plan I even doubt whether you have one because all of you politicians take us for fools since we are docile. You all think insulting each other is what will win you votes
    But as far as I’m concerned you would equally be a failure in state house because you only began seeing Lungu as a failure after he kicked you out of his government

  11. We doubt if Kambwili passed Arithmetic in his Grade 7 Exams. This is a species of politician who has teamed up with HH to ceaselessly attack President Lungu. Yet HH has lost Bembas who voted for him in the last Presidential elections because they have followed GBM to rejoin the PF. Which voters is Kambwili relying on to defeat President Lungu in 2021? UPND has made it clear that the Bembas cannot be accepted in UPND. Besides, the dynamics of the National Dialogue Forum have exposed a crack within the ranks of UPND – particularly the among UPND MPs. No sane politician can ignore the fact that each of the UPND MPs has substantial number of supporters to sail away with in the event that HH opts to punish his MPs who attended the NDF. Has Kambwili calculated his arithmetic right by teaming up…

  12. Has Kambwili calculated his arithmetic right by teaming up with HH on a campaign to attack President Lungu? The chap even tried to block Dora Siliya from joining the PF during President Sata’s reign. How many i.d.i.o.t.s. is Kambwili hoping to recruit from the Eastern Province – when his foul language is always anti-Easterners.
    Apparently, Kambwili is expected to resolve NDC issues with Musenge.

  13. The trouble is when time comes to vote, people follow SONGS,BEER AND T-SHIRTS. So why are you complaining when its NO BWINO BWINO ON YOU VOTERS.

  14. There goes an empty tin again, making the usual noise. This chap cannot even run or organise his party. He wants to make shortcuts and call himself a political party leader. cutting corners. But he continues to call a head of state to step down. He ate with mining companies and now that he cannot eat any more he starts making noise. If Kambwili is man enough he should register a political party or a civic organisation as it is he is just a lone citizen shouting everywhere like a madman. Do not just call yourself an opposition leader just because you have fraud cases to answer.Shame Kambwili be smart and do things properly.
