Former National Democratic Congress party president Chishimba Kambwili has said that he is more than ready to be arrested on grounds that he has been perpetuating tribalism.
reacting to sentiments by Mr. Kajoba that Zambia police has opened an inquiry regarding the alleged tribal remarks by him, Mr Kambwili, who is a senior Patriotic Front (PF) official, said that he is used to be arrested on political grounds.
Mr. Kajoba said police conducted investigations and compiled a docket of the case which has since been forwarded to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) as the alleged offense requires consent to prosecute and that instructions are still being awaited from the office of the DPP.
But in an interview yesterday, Mr. Kambwili said such matters do not move him because he has gone through such in past governments and it has become part of him.
Mr. Kambwili said he never uttered tribal remarks during campaigns but only disagreed with the voting patterns.
He said if talking against the voting patterns is an offense then the police are free to arrest him.
“This is not the first time am being arrested by political opponents. I have been arrested several times, I think 9 times so it’s not new to me. Let him go ahead and arrest me.
“But Kajoba must know that the position of IG is not permanent, he can be used by UPND today and we shall meet in near future,” he said.
Mr Kambwili wondered why Kafue Council Chairperson Buumba Malambo who uttered tribal remarks openly police have not opened an inquiry for her.
“If you remember when she was campaigning and we still have that recording saying we need to vote for a Tonga President. And HH himself also said the UPND does not need MPs but people must vote for a Tonga President.
So much action is not tribal but merely talking against voting patterns is tribal. This does not move me,” he said.
Mr Kambwili further said Mr. Kajoba is fighting political battles in the name of the IG because he is a well-known UPND cadre.
“Kajoba has been all over social media with UPND regalia, and some of us have seen him attending UPND meetings. People accused Kanganja of being PF but he has never wore PF regalia,” he said.
He advised Mr. Kajoba to be professional when executing his duties.
WHO DOES THIS CHAP THINK HE IS ?
HE IS INCONSQUENCIAL TO ZAMBIA POLITICS MUCH LIKE LUBINDA AND LUSAMBO
Ba Kambwil, save your money for your children. There is decency in opposition. You do not have to be a rubble rouser all the time. Your humble education is making you think that if you shout loudest you are the most intelligent, not at all. You told us again and again that Lungu was a thief, and apologised to the country for supporting him in 2016. Then you changed your mind and started telling us again that we should vote for Lungu. The country said no. A decent man would have just gone quietly into the sunset.
I miss your fainting act each time you’re about to go to jail.
when salt loses its taste! when person loses his value because behaving like a chameleon!! when a leader is no longer trusted regarding where he advocates to lead his followers! when a fugitive leader is disappointed to find that his shielding is removed fom power! when a power hungry leader realizes he has no hope of becoming a presidenr or king! of course one loses his……….and becomes……..
Looks like we are in for tribal fights now and the Police IG is trying to ignite fire…Kaunda warned Zambians and watch how things will unfold
The convict is still having time to speak. This hegemonist, why he hasn’t been arrested upto now?
Lemmy Kajoba speed up the process arrest this Tribalist.
Zambia Forward!
This time you’re going to jail Kambwili, your tribesmen wont help you.
PF is finished completely and no one shall resurrect it.
Zambia Forward!
Take home!
Vote for a Tong.a President … UPND does not need MPs but people must vote for a Tong.a President.
Kajoba in UPND regalia, …seen him attending UPND meetings.
Sums up everything here.
Kajoba is a upndead cadre thus says CK.
CK is a straight up person.
Get rid of cadres from intercity and appoint some in positions. Seen that?
Show me h² and I will show you his cadres in Kajoba and triba.list in the appoiter to the pointee, is CK’s narrative here. It’s a tri. bal rub-a-dub style!
“Bakolwe basekana ifipato. Show me a Zambian, and I will show you a triba.list
This man does not know what he stands for because he stands for nothing and therefore does not know where he is going. This round buddha, michelin man, prophet of tribal chaos. Zambia has no time for his likes. For the good of Zambia and for their own good, PF should have even less time for him.
This is BUFFOON CK he offers absolutely nothing to Zambian politics …when he is cornered for his crimes and his motor mouth he starts crying about everything. If he is not in court he is out there making vile tribal statements!!
People of Zambia,,never say never.How many times did people say HH WOULD NEVER RULE ZAMBIA
AFTER TRYING SO MANY TIMES,THERE HE IS NOW.
Saulosi – My brother you have no shame…what is really eating you up?
Didn’t this buffon say he was mad?? Can someone facilitate his stay at Chinama. I’m sure they can accommodate him well ?!
*Buffoon
A small boy like Chellah Tukuta survived in prison for months this BUFFOON CK two days in remand prison and he was crying for buttered bread and fried eggs for breakfast!!
Debate the issues raised not personal attacks. I expect UPND supporters to distinguish Kajoba from Kanganja in an intelligent manner and resort to insults. Insulting is a sign that you have no ability to counter what someone is saying. If that’s the case, are you implying Kambwili is saying the truth. If he is lying, in a civilised manner explain how he is lying so that people continue to appreciate UPND.
‘Not resorting to insults’ I meant to say.
@Dominion: It is not possible nor is it necessary to try to respond with intelligence to stupidity. If you know how to polish a turd, please let me know. I will be happy to comply.
Dont worry brother kambwili these evil tribalists will soon begin to die one by one
@Jacob, Don’t compare HH with Kambwili. HH was hated because of tribe but never did you hear him talk about how bad the Northerners or Easterners were. He always spoke about uniting Zambia. Just tell me , apart from the few tribesmen and family ,who would vote for him?
The Problem with ba Kambwili is that he thinks with his stomach and am not sure what he uses his brain for? Maybe eating?
Kambwili is as good as a pumped up tube/balloon with a slow draining puncture it’s just a matter of time that reality dawns upon him as he tries to sustain spewing venom! Even the venom glands of a spitting cobra dry up after its venom has been sprayed wildly in volumes! Hope Kambwili has the energy and funds to keep his stance for the next four and a half years!
Kamwbili is right.Who doesnt know Kajoba is UPND cadre?I agree with kambwili 100%.The voting pattern in southern and northwestern is so bad.let us just tell the truth.Some young people are being cheated by these tribalists that Kambwili is tribal.kambwili is not tribal but he tells the truth.Who doesn’t know that such voting pattern is bad for the country?Let us not support bad things.kajoba can’t be professional and will never be professional.It’s sad that HH now wants to purnish bembas and easterners despite voting for him.80% of Lusaka and copperbelt marriages are intermarriages.Therefore stop this tribal talk ba HH.We understand becoz we live with our friends.The same language HH used it’s a sme language our friends are using in homes and working places.let us not be inferior in…
It’ll be interesting to see Kambwili in Court on those ground because he’s not alone. There are many in the UPND that are guilty of tribalism at senior level
Edgar Lungu then correctly advised Kambwili that your mouth is your biggest enemy. The man never seems to learn and cries foul very quickly when he is confronted to account for his actions, when Winter said the man was a very weak character most people did not believe. And then it appears the back ground is that where one was taught that you are already right, no matter how wrong one is, never admits, never remorseful, because even the acquittals he had were negotiated not that the man was innocent.
@Dominion UPND cadres can’t debate anything because they are mentally and psychologically always defeated thats is why they easily pick up insults and intimidating others . Its a simple palin truth. Now that they are even in power they are now not just mentally defeated but blind followers.
Your PF President ( Kawalala Lungu ) hated people who hail from Western, Southern and North Western Provinces. How did you expect them to vote for him. Check his appointments when he was power.
Suddenly CK is a “senior PF official”? He only joined a couple of months ago, after shedding crocodile tears to Edgar China Lungu! And he only has got a BIG mouth! Nothing else!
The only clever PF official that is clever these days is GBM. Haven’t heard from him, haven’t seen him ever since election day. Can learn something from him CK!
I totally agree with CK. The voting pattern of Southerners is terrible. These people are selfish.
Talking about the tribal voting pattern of Southerners, Westerners and Northwesterners, this is a well known fact that cannot be denied by any sane person. Immediately after the August 12 elections, a cleaning supervisor in the School of Education at UNZA from Southern Province was heard shouting and laughing at the top of her voice in corridors that people from the three (3) UPND strongholds had no mercy for people from other provinces as they had shown through their tribal voting patterns. People had to tell her to stop disturbing others working from their offices.
What goes around comes around. Some people thought UPND will never govern this country. If you committed a crime, it’s payback time. If you didn’t, you have nothing to worry about
The voting pattern is well known by every Zambian.
You cannot believe that when I visited Botswana 5 years ago, a lady from nowhere asked me a stupid question about voting pattern. I was embarrassed. It was difficult for me to give her an answer.
Voting pattern from 3 provinces is pathetic!!
How did we share a country with people like these ? They steal because stealing is part of their DNA when arrested they rush for tribal sympathy.
What voting pattern ? Have you ever considered voting between Muliokela and Lungu ? How many of your tribesmen voted for Muliokela in 2011 just to balance your votes on tribal lines ? Democracy is about choosing the best out of the rest – which the majority have just done in 2021. This no sense of victimising the three provinces should end now. Shaaa……
I don’t think it is tribal if you are suggesting to balance the voting patterns there is nothing wrong, however CK was supposed to say that , let us have the three provinces go into the seven other provinces to teach them how to vote during elections.
The three provinces are more Civil than the other seven something to admire, and indeed what people admire is something more people must be taught as the correct model for the whole nation, yes if it is one Zambia one nation this will work better and bring development to Zambia.
Just arrest CK that is how things can go well in Zambia , by the way why is the IG not doing what he has announced to the nation what is the hold up?
Zambians want to see Kambwili in prison because of his suggestion!
There is no insult from any UPND cadres here, the issue is that UPND emerged triumphant in the last elections and naturally non democrats are not happy, their thinking was that this thing was there’s alone until HH changed that narrative. PF was in power for 10 years promised more money in peoples pockets, lower taxes and more employment and there was non in ten years but they are now telling their friend who is in power for 2 months only to fulfill his promises. How surely. By the way democracy allows you to vote for a person from your tribe as long as you think they are competent, so nobody should demonize anybody for expressing his vote the way he wanted,
UPND is cool, muza pala pata muzalema, over 2million votes in 2026. Zambia solidly behind HH. Remnants keep posting here but we are ruling
Kambwili is doing what politics.
Politics meaning = activities concerning national governance this includes ideas includes words exchange amongst politicians with diverse thoughts or ideas.
Politics is all about talking if you can’t talk then you are not part of this game called politics , in bemba they say = ifikansafyachalo, so politicians must be talking about the country and trying to correct what is wrong to the benefit of the nation.
CK cannot keep quite if he has seen something wrong in governance, no one has a right to stop him not only him, he cannot as well stop any one who opposes him.
Dallness is the other biggest issue the country has other than poverty, he is already labelling Kajoba a cadre instead of looking at the content of the issue. Anyway he said if I go back to PF I am a fuol, arguing with him people may not know the difference.
Kasonkomona Julius.
You said PF promised money in their pockets, that money PF promised in people’s pockets we sow it flying into their pockets during those campaigns if you didn’t see it then you were not in Zambia, money were being given in form of empowerment funds we all witnessed that , all around the country those who were clever got it up to now they have it.
Some people have even started businesses, however some of you refused to get it now you are crying .
That is the money they said they will put in your pockets, now it is for upnd to fulfill their promises
Even when coated with assumed doctorates, little education exposes itself through clumsily crude pseudo political opinions that are based on sentiment rather than fact. Sadily it is these flawed opinions that the gullible masses swollen whole without chewing.
Reminder.
You must be aware that every Zambian has a right to ascend to any political position if he wants, the political rhetoric to say upnd will not rule is just political, ( as it is not in the Zambian constitution ).
That talk is not real it shouldn’t not threaten any Zambian this political game is just like football you have dribble your opponent and score.
That rhetoric is just a dribble saying a HH can not rule Zambia, Kaunda said Sata is not presidential material, but it the same Sata who honoured Kaunda and built an airport after his name.
No Zambian should feel marginalised as everyone is on equal footing to ascend if you are determined, but politics is not for faint hearted but for those possessed by politics and I’m not among them.
Kapenda Mabula.
Politics is not so much about how academically you are educated, the flour is open to all Zambians to take part in politics, in this world we have had great men with seven degrees from different universities in this world but never made a break through in this world of politics, our example can be the late president of Zimbabwe he was most educated president the world had ever seen ,
but see what happened in Zimbabwe .
Now look at the late Michael Chilufya Sata , Sata didn’t have that kind of education you expect for the president, Chilufya Sata did wonders compared to the some of perfectly educated men in this nation.
So success doesn’t necessarily mean you should have the highest kind of education, no no that is not always true, it is all about how…
@Nshilimubemba. I appreciate your analysis, however the end (political power) should not justify the means. Ethnic divisiveness and hegemony by anymore is not a good vehicle with which to attain popularity and power. What I was saying is that academic education does generally contribute to a person’s disposition in how they communicate-with exceptions of course. The more educated people are, the more careful they tend to be with regard to sharing their opinion on emotive subjects such as those to do with ethnic issues. The reason is simple, they understand that once the ethnic power train is set in motion, it is one way, the brakes become ineffective and there is no winner at the end apart from suffering and evil. Every Zambian should feel to be a part and an equal member of the great…
Zambian nation
FORGIVE kambwili. HE IS FULLY POSSESSED BY DEMONS. HE CONFESSED IT HIMSELF. TAKE HIM TO VONGO FOR “PRAYERS”.
Lucky.
What I would rather say is that education gives advantage to some people to access wider knowledge due to the communication advantage to different people in his life.
The truth remains that each individual has his own traits that dictates how he conducts himself , for example if he is a bigot that doesn’t go away just because he is educated , and for instance tribalism is one the traits some people cannot drop off just because he is highly educated.
The other traits mostly important is to engage the creative thinking capacity about new ideas,
