NDC President Chishimba Kambwili says Parliament’s move to defer the controversial Bill 10 is a loss on the part of the government and a win on the part of the citizens.
Dr. Kambwili said citizens could not allow President Edgar Lungu to fraudulently amend the constitution to suit him and his cohorts.
“The PF government knew they could not attain 2/3 of the vote so instead they decided to defer Bill 10 to 2020 after smelling the imminent defeat,” Dr. Kambwili said.
“This is exactly what we told President Lungu, despite spending millions trying to woo opposition MPs this Bill was always a Brought in Dead case.”
“A huge thank you to the gallant Opposition MPs including our very own Joseph Chishala, these men and women should be considered heroes for standing up to a ruthless government with ruthless and ill intentions.”
He added, “Even in 2020, this Bill will die a natural death because it was ill-intended to perpetuate Edgar Lungu’s stay in office. Unfortunately, the country has gallant men and women who could not allow such an affront to take place.”
And PF deputy chief whip Tutwa Ngulube has accused chapter one foundation led by former law association of Zambian president Linda kasonde of being sponsored to discredit bill 10.
Mr Ngulube notes that there are a lot of good clauses in bill 10 which are unfortunately being misinformed by those opposing it.
He dispelled accusations that the bill intends to increase the powers of the president, interfere in the appointment of judges, give powers to the president to contract debt without parliamentary approval, reintroduction of deputy minister among others.
Speaking when they both featured on hot fm breakfast show, Mr. Ngulube disagreed with Ms Kasonde for not being factual on the actual provisions of the bill.
“We must be truthful, this bill number 10 did not come from government, this bill did not come from ministry of justice, this bill came from the national dialogue forum and LAZ was part of the body that participated to come up with this bill. There is no where the bill says the powers of the president will increase even by an inch” Mr. Ngulube explained.
Ms Kasonde was also reminded that she should well understand the procedure of appointment of judges, being a former LAZ president that the president does not appoint any judge but just swears them in after a long process has been endured to appoint them.
This Tutwa, just look at his head. This boy should stop playing around with national matters that boarder on people’s lives. This is the boy together with that old woman Inonge brought Edgar Lungu to bring this country to where it is today. My boy be care this is Zambia. Ask your father. You will regret one day.

Losing in parliament, PF will also lose in Milenge by-election in Luapula.
Sad month for PF, and that Tutwa should respect Kasonde or why not fall in love? Is Tutwa a gay?
Well Me Kutwa has no father. Does he know his father? The ansewr is no!
One down one in state house to go.
Who is conducting “isambo ya fwa” for Bill 10?
Given Lubinda where are you?
Don’t be fooled bane…its a strategy to corrupt in some unsettled MPs….njala izabanyopola by February and they will easily be pulled in…
What is it that is in Bill 10 that you do not agree with if you have read the Bill? People are just following blindly without reading the Bill. I wonder whether HH himself has read the current Draft after the NDF sitting. Tell us what you disagree with in the current Draft.
No one trusts lungu and PF…….anything with PF fingerprints is suspect and mysterious , like the 48 mansions with owners with no faces…..
Spaka – This absence of addressing subject matter is the main reason why I think most bloggers are pretty low. The issue here is Bill 10 – and not the 48 mansions. Yes, the 48 mansions, fire trucks, tollgate, etc etc are issues, but I prefer dealing with a subject matter at any particular time and no carte blanche.
Kikiki!!!! Bill ten dying just like that – gone gone sure!!! Something cooking… These guys never say never. They are crooked such that you dont know if its a gimmick or its a genuine thing that Bill ten is dead – maybe for now!!! Lest we celebrate too early. I stopped believing in these goo.ns a long time ago…
Disaster!!!
Comment:ukubwatabwata too much be like HH who is always talking sense
Bill 10 kuyabebele. Iwe punkamo! am just celebrating with my whlte wlfe here . lelo nilemulya five rounds to celebrate
Ka Tunywa Ngulunyo!
When did “DEFERMENT” mean termination?? Upnd mps can’t stop this bill on their own, they need those independents and some PF and MMD mps to do that. CK getting excited?? Is he scooping Milenge because of this?? Our opposition needs to come to terms with reality please!!!
Now that you have managed to get Bill 10 to take to its heels, run it out of town! No safe place for useless things. Light up all the safe places and run it out of town I say!
I think Bill ten means well after hearing from the debate on Prime TV.
Bill 10 has died. It has just been deferred. Why are the opposition celebrating about? Does deferment synonymous with cancellation? After all from what Professor Lungwangwa explained this bill has no further contentious issues anymore. What is the problem of the opposition to keep opposing that which they even don t understand. Professor Lungwangwa was my professor at the university and I know him by his analytical prowess.
Bitterness is just as bad as witchcraft, it is actually the early stage of witchcraft. I keep wondering how someone can just have so much hatred for HH such that even when the issue has nothing to do with the man, this person always has some unpalatable to dish out of her chest. You will be a better person if you can appreciate & respect others
Fighting the PF today is like engaging in a fight with a number of suffering masses,this is why UPND will not be in power and it wont be easy for it to pass through, BILL 10 will pass through because the people of Zambia are speaking through the PF and they are voicing out a YES to that BILL.
Big Brain, Waooooooooo food for thought. You are really amazing. Which people of Zambia are you talking about? You mean the 18 million Zambians or the 2 million PF members only. The UPND has rejected the Bill and you say the people of Zambia have said yes to the bill
You should change your blog name from The Big brain to something else, just don’t see what that should be, for I can’t find any living creatures that I can compare your thinking to
Can you explain to me how on earth your President decided to buy himself a Presidential Jet in the name of Zambia Air Force for 850 million USD, fully knowing that there were numerous and very important and urgent issues affecting the people of Zambia? Second hand Fire Fighting Trucks millions of USD Dollars. Educate me. Fact is that President…

Fact is that President Lung (Napoleon) and his Animal Farm four (4) legs Good friends and two legs bad don’t give a shiit about the 18 million Zambians and that is the truth
I like your confidence only that it is misplaced.
Indeed Linda was made to appear like a novice when she took on Tutwa
PF deputy chief whip Tutwa Ngulube you are Doooog. I wonder why God has allowed an idiooot like you to be still alive. You are wasting oxygen on Earth, please move to another planet. You think Zambians are so foooolish to an extent where your President and his PF guys can do as they wish
Grow up din ***** mand, hvem fanden tror du, du er? Dit lort
Your Lungu has served for 8 years meaning if he stands and wins the next elections Lung can only serve for 2 years which add up to 10 years (3 years when he was elected as a result of Sata’s death. There was nowhere in the constitution where it stated that in case a President dies elections will be held with the winner completing the remaining 3 years of the dead President. Therefore it is a straight forward case that should Lungu stand and…

Therefore it is a straight forward case that should Lungu stand and win he will only serve for 2 years. When you add the 8 years he has served and the 2 years this gives 10 years, period. No more no less
Too much lies bafyatile. most of you don’t even understand and are just parroting other people’s lies. Look at that useless woman how she appeared clueless before the cameras. ever wondered why the constitutional court threw out the petition?
You did them same over the Bill of rights and Akainde was the first victim of his folly. started crying for the Bill of rights he campaigned heavily.
These upnd chaps are so sarcastic. Even u kambwili can not compare yourself to Ngulube. Tutwa is intelligent and last night on Prime TV, he outshined the two upnd representatives. The bill is good and progressive for Zambia. Forget about bringing gayism to this great country just because your small parties are being sponsored by some disgraced individuals. Abash homosexuality !
