The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has dragged Roan Member of Parliament Chishimba Kambwili to court. When the matter came up, the state presented thirty-four counts of possession of property suspected to be proceeds of crime before Lusaka magistrate Mwaka Mikalile.
Among the offenses on the indictment is that on August 18th, 2016, Mr. Kambwili had 495 thousand Kwacha in his account that is suspected to be proceeds of crime. The Roan Parliamentary is in another account accused of having been in possession of 180 thousand Kwacha, property suspected to be proceeds of crime. All the money mentioned in the thirty-four counts is said to have been in an account that is domiciled at the Zambia National Commercial Bank.
When the matter come up Monday morning, Magistrate Mikalile said the suspect was not before court. The court was further informed that though Mr. Kambwili is in hospital, he is under the custody of the police. It was at this point that Magistrate Mikalile adjourned the matter to Thursday this week for plea.
CK was in government and without a leadership code, CK knows what constitutes money laundering or what it means to handle or to get involved with any proceeds of crime.
All these charges were read to and for him at ACC months ago. The best he can do is to produce receipts or invoices otherwise Mudala ali mu chibe.
TopStar money, Digital migration.
Good he deposited locally, plouging in domestic economy.
Does he have account in Panama too?
Ilyashi ya lula!! His properties are also believed to be proceeds of crime, I am sure that’s what made his bp shoot up- the thought of losing all that property….Kambwili thought the sympathy from the public and supporters would save him kanshi elo lwanya!!
By the way, what is K495,000 you people? This is equivalent $50,000 which is nothing for a leader and a business man like Kambwili? What if he has invested in Bitcoin? If one has invested $50,000, he or she will getting a profit of $1,750 everyday and now for 20 business days, it is $35,000. Please wake up fellow Zambians!
THIS kAMBWILI ISSUE IS GOING TO OPEN A CAN OF WORMS.
We have been waiting months now….
The charges are easy to prove in court if does not provide sources of deposits in his bank account (s) as has been the case with HH.
This could be the END of his political career unless he can provide evidence of sources of those deposits.
In these matters,it is better to exercise restraint when commenting.
Let the law take its course.
Don’t be U5.
Give the ACC a chance.
Te YOUTH empowerment fund iyi?
The next thing is ACC will apply for a restriction order then Kambwili won’t have access to that money until the matter is disposed off, olo you don’t have BP kuti yaisa. The moriband ACC will make a name out of Kambwili, all the Black Mountain money is now gone. They have him by the balls
The funny thing with bank statements is the record never disappears..I am sure if the ACC did checks on all these PF ministers in 3 years time …they would all be in court; the problem ACC is that they can not bring dirt on BUFFOON CK as it will implicate their appointing crooks…just trying frustrate him.
When the time comes Lungu and his children will have to account for their new found wealth…..like how lungu accumulated $2.3 million after 18 months in office……..as a matters of fact all in GRZ with positions of respinsibility should account for their wealth…in their desperation to silence CK they have opened a drum of worms…
PANAMA PAPERS
Most of us know the accounting equation. Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity. When someone’s resources are more than the revenue they make causes reason’s for suspicion. This guy thought he had it all and stole at every opportunity he had. Kambwili Estates alone, how much did it cost to build and construct. All those flats he has all over the place, how much did it costs to build them including paying for material and people to construct them. Those flights he always used to boast about, paying school fees at a UK university for his children in pounds! Paying for his families upkeep abroad. All that costs money so where exactly did he get money to pay for all that? International school fees are four times to cost of a British national. Properties, vehicles etc. Cage him. Kabolala!!
Thats is less than US$60,000 , TOO LITTLE MONEY TO PROSECUTE A MAN OF HIS FINANCIAL STANDING, TO GBM AND HH that is petty cash when going for executive entertainment
The size doesn’t matter. If I am buyer at government stores and receive 500 kwacha from a contractor in order to give him business, and I am caught I can go to jail for years. It’s the act not the amount.
Former South African President, Jacob Zuma, is in the dock today with the posibility of going to jail just because a private invist8gator detected a deposit of money totalling R4m into Zuma bank account when he was just a minister. The depositor is known but why the deposit?.
Kambwili is a crook and should be tried and sentenced accordingly.
This man is a real coward, he should be brave enough to say “okay I’m sorry I made a mistake and I stole I pray for forgiveness from the Zambian people” and be strong enough to spend a few months in the cells not these silly games that make him look like a real buffoon that he is, oxygen mask as if he is in a coma???? Sure the guy is very dull no doubt!. Kukusa mudala umwaume ta lila!
Long arm of the law!
Wait whn keith mweemba squeezes ur balls to prove proceeds of crime!
Psychic tricks pretending to be in critical medical condition trying to evade prison. This was once done by Prof. Kashiwa Bulaya and the lest is history today, Kambwili you called for it be strong and stop making excuses.
Let us play for him.
It is evil to suggest that hon kambwili was prententing to be sick can u use sober and love sentiment s of cause the court are doing their work he is not guilty until proven guilty.
