    • Ba kandile wants the president to realise he exists also. The President is not immune to allegations. Its for him to answer to his critics. There is no case to take to court here.

    • How will that day be when HH becomes president. The writing is on the wall and i am just preparing for the massive countrywide celebration.

    • Right out of the gate with nonsense. Instead of talking about his manifesto e.g How he would tackle load shedding , unemployment , corruption as a leader to name a few .
      At president of a party.
      Joker waste of time .

    • Ok if Peter Chanda wins case against Kambwili, in whose name will Kambwili draw the cheaque for compensation?
      But mu Zambia there is outbreak of dullness. Lusaka needs fumigation.
      Where was that idyot Peter Chanda when Kambwili & Ba Edgar both said they have never been defamed before?

    • Zambia….no wonder we are a backward Country…nonentities Peter Chanda seeking attention…never heard of this moron before

    • The most 3tup1d people in Zambia are Bemba’s with the name Chanda. They have no shame for hunger and have the highest potential to become homosexuals due to hunger just to fill there stomachs. I end.

      1d10t

    • Hunger is really a curse to a land of unprincipled people.
      Here is a man trying to get the attention of Lungu so that the crumbs from the table of corruption may fall on his side of the bootling table.
      No shame, no principles.
      Just find a job or a business and work hard baba. Dont compromise your charactor just to get a morsel if bread!

    • How much is 25kg meal? Load shedding finished? Corruption everywere.. Bandits everywhere in government.. Ba lungu never gave power to the speaker…

    • Ba lungu never gave power to the speaker.. How much is 25kg meal? Load shedding finished. Zambians need to suffer more so that you learn a lesson.

    • How much is 25kg meal? Load shedding finished? PF Bandits everywhere in government. Are courts in Zed still working? Last time I heard courts in Zed don’t what to hear cases . Most judges are corrupt and because of Bandit lungu. All Government institutions are corrupt.

    • Hunger….trying so hard to get everyone’s attention no wonder they end up sleeping with fellow men just to get the brown envelope…its people like Chanda…Lusaka Times please this shouldn’t be news….this moron of an imbecile Chanda is just trying to bootlick Edgar….am sure Bowman Lusambo won’t be happy with this idiooot Chanda

    • Generally speaking, you can file a suit on your own behalf without being a lawyer, but you cannot file a suit pro se on behalf of someone else. (If you have legal status as someone else’s guardian, you might be able to sue on their behalf without a lawyer, but I’ve never seen that attempted)

  1. What is special about any politician that they need protection from citizens? Are they like all the gods who need help to defend their omnipotent stupidity?
    Pointing out the shortcomings of politicians helps to keep them honest.

  2. PATHETIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What is wrong with these opposition or have they been paid off by the PF. Rather sue the government for exporting all our maize. For allowing mining in a National Park, the list goes on

    • Another ***** CHANDA competing for stupidity! Who follows this useless politician if at all?
      Provide checks and balances as opposed to wasting peoples time due to hunger related warped thinking baba…
      Go back to the land vinthu vila vhuta puliz..

  3. Edgar must wean his useful idyots from their perpetual dependency on his pocket. Have they finished the money he gave them during campaigns? I also don’t understand why our Courts entertain such cases, they just waste time. Court processes are costly so from where has this loafer gotten money to sue Kambwili? You are just disgracing yourselves

  4. Useless man. Opposition parties that are paid to split the vote, this is the result. Instead of fighting for zambian peoples people’s rights and welfare or telling us what his useless party will do, this gorilla of a man is instead suing fellow opposition on behalf of a mediocre president. And you guys wonder why I married a non zambian whlte woman. Zambiand are useless half the time

  6. This is where these pompwes of lungu put him in the firing line……..lungu has chosen to remain silent, leave it at that.

    Or else we will tell you that you will not due CK for calling lungu a corrupt thief because you know thst lungu is indeed a very corrupt thief……easily proven in the courts.

  7. As soon as ba Jona is out of State House, these same Lazy unproductive Goons like Peter Chanda who survive on Jona’s “Kasaka ka ndalama” – (Zambian taxpayers money), will turn against ba Jona, & like moth’s to a flame, or files to Sh.1t, move on to leech, & suck on whoever replaces Mr Jona in Plot No1, mark my words.
    Same as Monday Chanda, Bowman, Dollar Siliti, etc.

  8. Peter Chanda who is he,which political party, from where, chazanga? So in zambia if I’m defamed it’s my friends who should sue on my behalf,is that correct,and which court?

  9. Country Men and Women, As Alangizi Ba Chitukuko we would like to advice the citizen of this country Zambia that, We must work passionately and unrelentingly for the goal of Freedom, and we must be sure that our hands are clean in the struggle. Therefore we must never struggle with falsehood, hate, malice or bitterness. It is important to respect and work with the government of the day, talking will never provide any solution to this country.

  10. Check your comments, and analyse them well, we stand for peace and unity. We read that we ought to forgive our enemies; but we do not read that we ought to forgive our friends. A country with divided hands can not develop, it takes you as a citizen to be bold enough and develop a forgiving heart.

  11. That wimp Peter Chanda was making for a living at City Market not too long ago and now that he is a political leader of of a one man party wants to be seen to be irrelevant.

  12. Sorry, I meant to say “That wimp Peter Chanda was making tea for a living at City Market not too long ago and now that he is a political leader of of a one man party wants to be seen to be irrelevant”.

  13. We have enough of you maggot. This is time for reconciliation and you busy trying to be noticed by the President. Don’t you have something else to do

  14. In spite of our political affiliations and ideaologies, Politicians should learn to work together for a common purpose if we are to develop this country. However that does not mean that those in opposition can not offer checks and balances to government. We must also realise that there can only be one leader at a time just as it is imperative to note that the party in power can not develop this country without the oppostion. By so doing our country will develop.

  15. The leader of an opposition Party ‘suing’ the leader of another opposition Party for allegedly defaming the leader of the govt. they are both opposed to? It says it all. Judge for yourselves.

    If only the same endeavour could be exerted on the issues facing the country and the possible solutions ……? – Instead of this diabolical waste of breath to venerate a fellow mortal in the shameful hope of being invited to his banquet table.
