THE Lusaka Magistrates’ Court has acquitted former National Democratic Congress (NDC) party Chishimba Kambwili of forgery and possession of property suspected to be proceeds of crime amounting to over K6 million.
Delivering judgment in the matter today, Lusaka High Court judge Mwaka Mikalile, sitting as a principal resident magistrate, acquitted Kambwili and others because the prosecution failed to prove the allegations against them.
Magistrate Mikalile said Kambwili during his defence provided the court with evidence of his legitimate sources of income.
She said Kambwili also provided evidence of the contracts he had with companies such as China Henan and had various businesses which he was running.
The court also acquitted Mwamba and Mwamona Engineering Technical Services.
And in acquitting two ZRA employees – Brano Musonda and Mulenga Kapilima, magistrate Mikalile said she found them not guilty as they had authority to prepare the tax clearance certificate for Mwamona Engineering and Technical Services.
Kambwili’s lawyers Keith Mweemba and Gilbert Phiri did not show up in court today.
Kambwili was accompanied by his wife Carol while Matero PF member of parliament was also at court to offer support.
Which case is this one? Case 2 of 6 …no way can this BUFFOON get away in all cases
Magistrates can be easily bribed. They are his friends. This Chimbwili has bragged openly about his corrupt practices but his connections are proving to be too much to handle for enforcement. They eat from the same plate.
Who is fooling who ? Was he not pardoned ?
The UPND was saying the cases on the IG were politically motivated. Even cases on this former NDC leader were to politically kill an opponent by the fallen regime.
Please make sure all court cases are cancelled, acquitted, on these two before as you wish appointing them into your government.
PF was only avenging Kambwili’s party destruction. He destroyed them so much, they simply wanted to make him busy with something. Sheer waste of our money. Its unfortunate the man couldn’t stand long. Understandable
mwaka is a good lady she just saved this loud foul mouthed dumbo from collapsing again…
Had it been simusamba sitting as resident magistrate this creature would have been crying all over the news
Behave now never ever to engage yourself in misdemeanors again.
Leaves a lot of doubt. Anyway good luck and stop whatever you have been doing because you may never be so lucky next time.
Pardoned of one appealed offence and acquitted for others that were hanging over his head under the PF, but at what a cost! He sold his soul for a morsel of bread. He would have been Vice President, maybe!
The State will appeal
Is this is the same case he was pardoned for my c0rrupt d!ctat0r Lungu on his last day?
Strange reasoning that just because you have legitimate sources of income, then you could be corrupt and a thief. Zambia!
At least some judges are still on our side.
Judges are not being controlled anymore, this is an example coz if it was the last regime they could have influenced the courts. The judiciary is back to normal. So let them work according to the law…..
This one needs to be fed to crocodiles in Lungwa, Kafue or Zambezi rivers. We are tired of this non entity & empty space in Zambian Politics. PF dont make a mistake of making this carbon dioxide exhaled air your next leader. Gosh !!
This dull fatso only behaves when he is being squeezed…….
If findley comes clean on lungu , Encourage Findley to sue his fatass for calling him a drug dealer……
TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE FOR SURE
I have lost count of KashimbaChimbwili’s brushes with the law, which one is this now?
I guess now he has been given wings to go for the PF leadearship. Lets see what happens. The guy never learns in life.
Manje awa a mudala wasn’t he pardoned? Nanga how many cases has he got to wade through kansi mwawantu? I doubt that he has any Presidential chances left although he keeps saying akali na ambition. Awe shuwa!
