Zambia Police in Lusaka have summoned NDC President, Chishimba Kambwili for questioning. Police delivered a call-out to Kambwili’s residence this afternoon.

The call-out was signed by Supt Stepehn Nkhowani and was received by Kambwili’s daughter, Chanda Katema Kambwili.

According to the notice, Mr Kambwili is expected to avail himself before the police at Lusaka Central Police Station, Room A22, on Wednesday 28th August 2019, at 10hrs for purposes of interviews on an undisclosed matter.

Yesterday Registrar of Societies canceled the registration certificate of the NDC following a High Court ruling of 16th, July 2019, in a matter where some members of the NDC took each other to court.de-register the party.

However, the NDC Leader said that the Registrar of Societies had no powers to deregister his party, adding that the party had not received the deregistration letter, but only came to know about it on social media.

Mr. Kambwili said that the decision by the Registrar of Societies to de-register his party is illegal and an abuse of authority and that the registrar’s pronouncement is not supported by any law in Zambia.

He also wondered why the Registrar of Societies had de-registered the party without engaging the aggrieved parties as stipulated under section 13 of the Registrar of Societies Act.

Meanwhile, Governance, Elections, Advocacy and Research Services (Gears) Initiative Executive Director McDonald Chipenzi has said that the de-registration of the National Democratic Congress is politically motivated.

Mr Chipenzi said that the de-registration the NDC is an assault on the country’s democracy, adding that the decision of the Registrar of Societies is surprising considering that the same office had given the NDC a certificate of registration, an indication that they met all the requirements.

Mr Chipenzi said that before any organization is issued a certificate of registration, they should have a constitution.

Mr. Chipenzi said that there is no justification that the registrar of societies erred to have issued a certificate of registration to a party that had no constitution as per the requirement of Law.

  1. It has come to my attention that there must be a fake nneez posting here. All those in favour of my return with articulate comments please upvote this comment and I will make my long awaited official return

  2. Former NDC leader.
    For now we can safely say. There is no NDC.
    Why is he being summoned?
    Come on CKinsultor go to court so we hear the outcome.
    If they uphold this, just form another party 2021 is just around the corner. It will not be late though.
    But surely a painstaking undertaking.
    Self inflicted wound.

  3. Zambian politics is all about “pull him down” using the state institutions of Police , anti corruption commission,registrar of societies or tax agencies.

  4. Neez, point of correction BUGA Girls are very caring if you have a lot of money and live in luxury. Secondly you Caucasian girl May love you because of your big manhood. This is what White girls go for in black men. Not your Chimp appearance.

  5. Neez , Ithink you have an inferiority complex as part of your DNA and you still think it is taboo for a black person to have a white girlfriend. Secondly you think you are the first and last Chimp to marry a Caucasian girl. Move around UK and you will see black guys married to white girls and no big deal here. Lastly , Leave my sisters alone as they have certain excellent, gogeous body features that a white girl would never have. If my sisters were inferior as you portray , why are white girls taking turns to look like African girls? Mind you ,Black is beautiful

  6. I have every reason to believe that the summon by the Police was prompted by that uncouth video that has gone viral where CK refers to ‘ someone’ as a dog from Chawama.Truth be told,the video is in bad taste and what will be the levels of insults if CK was to be President with immunity?I hope he wont faint again and be bold as he was in the video.

  7. Sharp Shooter – meanwhile someone issued an inflammatory statement and in breach of the constitution by stating that certain people were barred from going to certain parts of Zambia in the presence of the so called Kateka and was let free.
    Selective justice by dull PF police cadres. Democracy is dead in Zambia

  8. If you are a true Zambian and has listened to that video, I will be very surprised if you can support Kambwili. It is not only the President of the Country who should not be insulted but all presidents of political parties. We need to have respect for our leaders because they have followers. Its high time the Police arrested anyone using uncouth language on our leaders. The problem with some of our leaders is that they want to make a name by breaking the law deliberately so that they can be covered by journalists. Unfortunately some of our journalists will write articles in support of those who break the law. Such language used by Kambwili should be condemned by all well meaning Zambians. Chawama has people and not dogs. Chiba.
