Businessman Valden Findlay has instructed his lawyers to take necessary legal action against National Democratic Congress President Chishimba Kambwili for accusing him of dealing in drugs.

Mr Findlay who has rejected accusations of State Capture and drug dealing as false said he has never engaged in drug trafficking activities nor has he ever been arrested, prosecuted or convicted of any drug related offense.

Speaking at a media briefing through his spokesperson Daniel Phiri, Mr Findlay said at no time has he ever engaged in any form of state capture.

He said he is a law abiding citizen who has conducted legitimate business in and outside of the country in accordance with the law.

On 9th September 2019, NDC Leader Chishimba Kambwili accused Mr Findlay of being a drug dealer who has been arrested before and is on the wanted list in the United States of America.

Mr Kambwili further alleged that Mr Findlay had captured the Presidency of the Republic of Zambia.

    • That Valden wants to show he is boss of Ba Edgar. Ati he is a citizen, so what, even himself Valden Findlay don’t call himself a Zambian. If he is not Greek then he is Albanian.
      – he has a Spokes Person employed. Let him speak for himself in Bemba.
      Tomorrow it will emerge that that Daniel Phiri whipping Valden’s nose works at PF Secretariat.
      Let’s wait and see who are Valden lawyers and which judge will accept that lawsuit.
      A good court should flip the summon and arrest Valden.

    • More circus to distract people from the issues that count which is development!

      Only the lawyers benefit from this nonsense..

    • Latest.CK is in Maningi trouble. US Embassy has issued a statement saying that the case involving alleged drug darling by Findley was closed in the US courts

    • And hopeless h² yapped in support of CKinsultor naively.
      So both losers now look st.u.pid, don’t they.
      Ya’ll folks, everyone, each time that thick thing makes wild allegations, sue his azs please. He gotta not shut his mouth up rather he must not use it to disparage and create falsity on innocent individuals.

  1. This is good.
    CK produce the evidence that you have in court.
    This is the way to go.
    When someone is accused of something,the only way is to sue so that the accuser can proof his can in court.
    Ck produce the evidence in court and if you fail,next time keep quiet.

  2. Lawyers will make moolah on this. There will be technicalities and all sorts. The point still remains: unsealed documents do have the gentleman’s names as widely circulated. What now?

  3. “….He said he is a law abiding citizen who has conducted legitimate business in and outside of the country in accordance with the law….”

    We want to know, what bussiness is that while you are flying with lungu in a ZAF plane , eagle one, bought by zambian tax payers ??????

    • Findlay goes outside the country to conduct his business (probably pushing drugs) using a ZAF plane! In a normal functioning country Lungu would have been impeached already. At the rate Lungu’s presidency is moving, his main contender will not need to campaign in 2021.

  4. Sometimes it’s good to stay silent…
    So what is his role in government that he is seen flying all over with the President?

    • Good question James Banda or is it James Bond (lol). It is a question either your President nor this dude can respond to. The 2 know excatly why

  5. Findley will regrate opening a pandora box, a lot of issues will now come forth and many people will start to volunteer information which we may at the moment not know about, Findley should have remained silent as silence is golden, for starters we as taxpayers are not amused at your frequent use of our hard-earned money by flying around in our plane, if your relationship is personal keep that away from state functions period, not flying about and sleeping in hotels at our cost, of course, that is the general assumption if you are always with the president it means you benefit in kind from state coffers, each time your ugly head pops up from that Jet, you would have already used taxpayers money by flying and using Jet fuel. If you want to come clean avoid using our Jet.

  6. CK you stretched your luck too far on this one. I saw it coming.

    Better stick to insulting ECL who can do little because donors will view a presidential legal suit as persecution of political opponents and withdraw the much needed aid. But insulting or accusing a private citizen is a different ball game altogether.

    You’ll be lucky to survive this one as the guy can afford the best legal team in the land. Choose your targets carefully.

  7. Unless one is a close member of the First Family or sworn in civil servant, you cannot accost the Head of State the way Findlay has done. I do hope Findlay will pursue this case so that we hear everything about him in court. A lot of things will be opened, including the documents patternig to the purchase of the Now Chrismar hotel.

    • Guys, you mean CK’s defense will be that “Your honor, I followed the news?”

      You’re all joker’s. Mwala muletelela uyu kapuli

    • Chalo

      CK is right, findley is mentioned in drug investigation cases ,

      CK and the rest of us ate right to want know what he is doing flying around with lungu on official GRZ bussiness ????

  8. State capture started with CK during Sata’s time. We haven’t forgotten how Kambwili was rewarded with many state contracts through his Mwamona Invs. Nsanda was another flea sucking blood out of state coffers at RDA. I lost respect for Sata and PF ever since.

    Why won’t people untainted pasts step up and speak for us, not these thieves who do so when out of power.

    • If CK is right then he has nothing to worry about the impending legal suit. It’s one thing to accuse someone, quite another to provide evidence. Good luck Mr Kambwili.

    • I can rest assure you that the thick sick tick has no evidence whatsoever.
      That mouth he doesn’t use well will put him in a precarious spot of a pot of hot soup one day.
      That will bend him in a red dead end.

  9. Mwine Lubemba please let’s go back to the roots. Can you quickly prepare umwafi we meet these criminals at Malole tomorrow so that we can administer on both Kambwili and Findlay? We want to see who’s lying. This is the time to show the world our way of Justice

  10. Findlay is a former good friend of known drug king pin VJ. And at their prime, Findlay was fondling and dating underage girls. I remember one little girl from Ndola. It was shameful.

  11. Findlay is a criminal and ECL is also by extension of his dealings with a drug dealer.
    Let’s see if drug dealer findlay will go the the USA.
    A$$hole that’s what he is

  12. What l think is that lets wait and see what proof or evedence CK has to prove his allegation. CK is in court on forgery and coruption charges and has been avoiding going to court to defend hiself. I thought he could have done well if he concentrated on clearing his dirty name first before pointing his suspected fingers against others!

  13. The court process will take another 8 yrs to be concluded. That’s how inefficient the judicial system is in Zambia.
    I was hoping Ireen Mabilima will change the scenario, Alas it is even getting worse.

  14. If you are mentioned as such does that convict you? We see big people with big bodies but with small brains. Will america not fish out a drug lord in Zambia if they can elsewhere?If you have credible information about illegalities of a fellow citizen, would you not provide it to the responsible authorities?

  15. We are sick and tired of baseless accusations, malice talk, jealous, pettiness, hatred and falsehood by these mwankoles in opposition. UPND and HH have realized that they have no chance in getting anywhere near in 2021 and have now resorted to propaganda of lies and twisting facts to mislead people.
    Mr. Findlay, please hire very good and solid lawyers to ensure that Kambwili and those that have taken a path of fake news and falsehood are sent to jail with minimum sentence of 4 years.
    Twanaka nabo aba the empty tins in opposition especially uyu HH. These allegations are designed to distract the PF Government from doing what they promised people in their campaign message in 2016. So be aware of HH and his dirt tricks and dont lose focus on delivering to the expectations of the people…

  16. contd

    HH and Kambwili, what havent lied about President Lungu and PF under the sun imwe?

  17. LET THE ZAMBIAN GOVERNMENT HAND OVER THIS FINDLEY TO THE USA GOVERNMENT SO THAT THE WHOLE EPISODE IS CLOSED,FINDLEY WILL PROVE HIS INNOCENCE IN THE COURT OF LAW ONCE HE IS TRIED AND THAT WHEN HE CAN SUE CK.

    • That would only be considered if the appropriate US agency makes an application to their Zambian counterpart for extradition. As Zambian citizens we are not subject to being bundled to foreign jurisdictions at the whims of rumours from disgruntled and failed politicians.

  18. We dont need to take all from google as plain truth so the best is to wait till verify .USA canot fail to put him on alert list if that is true alredy we hav a Zambian lady on US alert list for fraud .

  19. What is he suing for? Just a cover up.

    If there is that ruling where he is mentioned and he is seen in the company of our great humble leader there is no malice. His being mentioned in that case and being in company of our great humble leader evidence as above being shown a gold watch becomes a matter of public interest and Kambwili made a comment in public interest.

  20. If he wants he can even hire Angels to prosecute his case, he is going no where as long as there is evidence that he was mentioned in the report the basis on which CK was commenting. Kambwili just ask for the original copy of that ruling and pictures of our humble leader descending and ascending in that tax payers jet plus Lusaka times have already assisted you with another picture above, you done. These are the only basis of your comments and they are true.

    Let him burst with anger and become more emotion. Ck ba Tata just take it easy and coooooool.

  21. Comment:If you’re a good law abiding businessman, what extension of your good business are you carrying out on the presidential plane almost every week? Do you rent a cabin therein as an office or what?

  22. They really fear you mr kabwili, out of all the news leaks you are the only he gets to sue. He has not sued the FBI or the court that leaked the paper or the man giving testimony in America. HH said something about it too but Findlay is scared to say anything back. All the findlays in Zambia are corrupt individuals. Kambwili please keep talking, Sata never gave up despite the harrassment from government.

  23. Comment:what about kuwechi Kaunda’s testimony,where Findley and koswani visited him at his resident in south Africa,I for one Findley used to be my boss at chrisma hotel Livingstone, if u don’t know him just keep quite

    • I hope they summon you as a witness small jo as you claim to have some useful information. Better still, get in touch with Kambwili’s legal team.

  24. Times of Zambia 2008 (Ndola) — The Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC) has arrested suspended Luapula Province Permanent Secretary, Alfred Kalumba and Atlantic Investments owner, Valden Harry Findlay, for alleged money laundering-related offences.
    Mr Findlay, 45, who also owns Chrismar Hotel, Zoom Roadways and Atics Bureau de Change, was arrested for lending money without a lenders’ licence and money laundering activities involving K200 million. Mr Kalumba, 48, was jointly charged with Charles Chilufya, 47, senior economist in the ministry of Agriculture Food and Fisheries in Mansa.

  25. The Minister of Home Affairs should extend his whip on Special Interest Individuals like he has sent a clear warning signal by deporting the Chinese Top Star erring directors We have a lot of these special Interest Individuals watched and listed by freely associating with our institutions and this must be stopped and such be barred from associations
    Most of these fake and special interest individuals and family have perfected the art of political associations especially those from one area, Northern India. Once you see them pay particular attention to what sought of business and traveled countries they have been to. Often time you hear I have been from India traveled many countries and have…

  26. 1.1 Findlay is NOT a Greek or Albanian, the drug dealer Valden Findlay is a Coloured also known as a Gofel.
    ECL will appoint him VP next time round

  27. Chiluba did the same with Fred M’nemba and in the process bursted the floodgates of hell upon himself. That’s what killed him ultimately. Thus VALDEN FINDLAY and Lungu must beware, uno mwaka kunya bebele!
