NDC leader Chishimba Kambwili has assured Zambians that he will not stop speaking about the difficulties they are all enduring everyday.
And Dr Kambwili has appealed to the Chinese government to check what he called corrupt activities of AVIC in Zambia.
Writing after he was released on bail after appearing in the Lusaka Magistrate Court on Friday for unlawful assembly, Dr Kambwili vowed that he will continue to hold this government accountable for all its ills of extravagance, thefts, the sale of national assets, undemocratic tendancies, negative foreign influence peddling and the wanton destruction and looting of our national treasury by President Lungu and his friends.
Dr Kambwili also advised the Chinese government not be caught up into another diplomatic embarrassment like it happened when late President Michael Sata formed government.
“Yes, you’re not supposed to interfere in our country’s politics but surely for the sake of our future bilateral relations as long time global allies, check the corrupt activities and unpatriotic manoeuvres of Chinese corporations like AVIC before it’s too late because this regime is gone, the Zambia people have already made up their minds,” he said.
Below is Dr Kambwili’s statement posted on his Facebook page
To my colleagues and fellow dedicated comrades of the struggle and Zambians in general
By the grace of the Almighty God we finally arrived in my home town – Luanshya yesterday – for interrogations at the behest of the Police. I was subsequently arrested and charged with unlawful assembly as well as denied Police bond. By God’s grace, I have been granted bail and I have fullfilled all the obligations. I however remain sad that some of my fellow co-accused could not secure surities in time partly due the Police’s conduct of not allowing access to accuseds’ relatives.
Interestingly, as I was being driven to Luanshya, my thoughts were not of fear or desperation but of the love I have for my country and its people. Nonetheless, I have great sadness and pain at how far we have degenerated as a country under President Edgar Lungu’s leadership or simply put misrule. This is an administration I will forever regret having helped usher into office and one I will dedicate each day of my political career to rid Zambians of.
Throughout my over 25 years in politics, I have consistently strived to speak for our people who cannot speak for themselves and remain downtrodden. And in my quest to do so, I may have unknowingly offended some of my fellow citizens and for that I will always apologise and seek redemption.
But what I will never ever apologise for in good concious is speaking for the people especially when it is the right thing to do. I faced arrest for speaking against AVIC International’s poor labour track record and for performing my civic duty as a member of parliament for the people of Roan Constituency who I have served to the best of my ability over the past 12 years.
Never in my life did I ever think our country’s leadership would be so obedient to foreign corporations’ interests and influence such as that of the ‘Mighty’ AVIC International, which has literally become a subtle ‘Buildings Department’ or wing of this government.
However, I am neither afraid nor intimidated by these machinations for evil has never been known to prevail over good, it’s just a matter of time.
And to our heavily compromised Police leadership, I say “please continue to do your worst”. I am convinced beyond any reasonable doubt that the discomfort of prison that I know I will continue to experience under President Lungu cannot be compared to the pain and humiliation Zambians go through each day under this vividly corrupt and despotic regime of President Lungu.
To my brother Hon. Steven Kampyongo, I say “thank you for achieving your desired goal of teaching me a lesson for speaking against AVIC and YOUR projects”. I hope when the bells come tolling on AVIC you would have already assumed your Chinese nationality because no Zambian leader in our history has ever sided with the interests of abusive foreign corporations and succeeded. On a personal level and being an obedient Catholic that I am, I forgive you and will let God deal with you and those that instruct you.
To the police command and in particular the two Deputy Inspector Generals of Police whom I had the misfortune of interfacing yesterday, namely Mr. Eugene Sibote and Mr. Bonny Kapeso not forgetting the Commissioner of Police for Copperbelt Province Mrs. Charity Katanga, be warned that each day that goes by leading to 2021 is a day less that you continue to occupy those offices that you now abuse with impunity.
Your actions like those of the executive will not go unchecked for much longer. I’m old enough to have witnessed two power transfers in this country’s history with the most recent being in 2011 where I witnessed how those who once held political power abandoned their surrogates at the eleventh hour when they needed them the most. Your reign as Police command won’t be any different from the hotheads that held those positions before the success of the people’s revolution. You too will surely be replaced by honest, decent and diligent citizens such as Commissioner Fanwell Siandenge, an innocent patriot who remains a fugutive in the country he served and sacrificed his entire teenage and adult life till men and women of your kind frustrated his illustrious career in the police service. Just as the sun rises from the east and sets to the west, your day of reckoning is coming- be warned.
To the people of Zambia, I give you my solemn vow that I will not stop speaking about the difficulties we all endure everyday. I will continue to hold this government accountable for all its ills of extravagance, thefts, the sale of national assets, undemocratic tendancies, negative foreign influence peddling and the wanton destruction and looting of our national treasury by President Lungu and his friends.
To the Chinese government, I say “Do not be caught up into another diplomatic embarrassment like it happened when His Excellency Mr. Michael Chilufya Sata (MHSRIP) formed government. Yes, you’re not supposed to interfere in our country’s politics but surely for the sake of our future bilateral relations as long time global allies, check the corrupt activities and unpatriotic manoeuvres of Chinese corporations like AVIC before it’s too late because this regime is gone, the Zambia people have already made up their minds.”
Lastly, I sincerely thank my family who did not choose this life for understanding that ours is a life of sacrifice and defending Zambians especially the poor. I sincerely thank all of you for your prayers and messages of good will. Lesa eko aba!
God bless you all,
Chishimba Kambwili MP
Speak for yourself ARSS hole!
This bandit Kambwili also…Kambwili is the most corrupt Zambian….he even stole railway line sleepers and almost everyone on the copperbelt knows this

I can steal 1 billion dollars today and even get caught….when am in the ruling party PF then I will be labeled a Criminal but once i join UPND i automatically become a saint….this is the thinking of Spaka,Jay Jay etc
You will rote alone in jail. Speak for who? we have better language than you
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
Be patriotic.
Think About Zambia First.
Stop stealing.
Chaos does not pay.
Stop being selfish.
Stop the hypocrisy.
Imagine the CK presidency…. Kwekwekwekwekwe. Can this thick thing speak for you? Zambians can be double funny. Be serious. One day you will yearn your peace.
Anonymous – PF govt had a case against BUFFOON CK through ACC immediately he was sacked but they shelved it when they started digging and found out that their top officials were also involved with him. This govt is so ingrained in corruption that they would make anyone innocent…I mean even his so called malicious allegations they have failed to respond instead resort to insulting him like Amos was doing. They have mishandled BUFFOON CK issue that he is now coming out tops ….what was the point of using the police to arrest him and waste fuel to transport him to Luanshya from Lusaka. They are charging him with unlawful assembly through colonial laws when its AVIC workers who came to his house…how do you think that looks to his voters? He put questions about Findlay and Amos…
Amos lamentably failed to answer any question. It had to take ZWD and Kambwili to tell the nation that Lazy Lungu was in RSA and Luangwa at a private lounge with no security in the company of businessmen and crooks. Amos couldn’t deny that the Lazy thing was on vacation and Flightradar24/7 states that Flight 9J-ONE had landed in RSA on the 28th.
Everything this guy has engaged in since being fired is unlawful. So, which lawful smart people of the Zambian Enterprise is he speaking for???
Some people always overestimate their capacity and this kind of buffoonery just makes me shake my head. One day he asks for forgiveness, the next he insults the very people he asked for forgiveness from.
Directionless nincompoops are usually glorified in Zambia and this sucker has become one of them. What a clown!!!
Heaven help us all …
A person has the right to learn from his past and has the right to evolve his thinking, therefore give him a chance.
I like his masterpiece here for today. Well said CK.
What really baffles me here is the level of buffoonery going on. How do these law breakers (criminals) keep breaking the law with impunity and think that somehow, someday the smart people of the Zambian Enterprise will give them the mandate to swear on the Bible to uphold the very constitutional laws they keep shredding while in opposition?
That’s some seriously flawed logic, it’s ungodly. It ain’t gonna happen!!! Because Zambia Is Greater Than Any Single One Of Us ~ B R Mumba, Sr.
Heaven help us all …
Mr. kambwili, which Zambian people? You mean, your wife and children?
“I will not stop speaking for myself,” CHILDISH 2.
Freedom of speech is great Camp Willy, albeit with your very self serving motive.
Yes! This man used to speak for government. To be precise he used to speak only for PF. Now we must believe him when he says I will not stop speaking for Zambians?
Ati Throughout my over 25 years in politics, I have consistently strived to speak for our people who cannot speak for themselves. What a lie! Kambwili’s people have been those very corrupt in power until they chucked him out of their circles
Which Kambwili will turn up for elections?
Even GBM was the same. These politicians! They are all useless
That’s Zambian politics for you …even a disgraced former Pastor like Nevers still has a ambitions to become President and the Head of State has an open door policy to criminals like Findlay…you call yourself a Christian nation whatever that means!!
The Satanist Party is a party of nos.
Well said CK, pleas continues calling a spade as a spade.
This is the reason I cannot ever vote for UPND. They have no principles whatsoever. Surely, if Kambwili is as corrupt as reported in the UPND sympathetic media, he should be facing charges.Does that mean of those lurid stories of his corruption were fake news or Wii HH turn a blind eye to corruption so long as you pay homage to him?
Mpendula yes think just think. Politicians just want to to make money from the poor whom they keep hoodwinking that they are working for them. Kambwili will call a spade a spade until you vote him back into office. Then spades will become something else
Mpendula Kayaula
Why is CK not arrested for the purported corruption you are alluding to ?????
And even in courts of law convicted theives can be state witness and spill the beans , if CK is as guilty as you say he is, why can’t he tell us of lungus stealing ??
So in effect you acknowledge that ZW has been spreading falsehoods. CK was never a corrupt politician, his only crime was being a member of PF suppose the same can be said for GBV! And you wonder why you don’t win elections
They love them when they Ha on their side but ditch them as soon as they leave, then they become “thieves” HAGAIN!
CK is rounded up by POLITICAL DEMONS , for sure politics is the WORK OF THE DEVIL. CK today is completely blindsided. Being politician does it mean that HIS IS IMMUNE TO CRIMES AND OFFENSES.? Or if AVIC HAVE LONG TIME POLITICAL MISUNDERSTANDINGS WITH HIM ; was that the prudent way of SUPPORTING so called aggrieved AVIC workers.? If CK is a WISE POLITICAL FIGURE who want to help Marginalized ZAMBIANS why not move out completely from PF party and concentrate on NDC? CK should change his tuba tuba( diarrhea mouth) for his own good. Alone this year, his marital affair is in edgewise a bitter, court & police stations as an order of the day ,business fortune is dwindling and his political stance in not stable because he is losing loan constituency.
Since when did we become your priority? Before Edgar kicked you out, you defended every injustice we suffered as Global. Personally I don’t need an unprincipled baboon to speak on my behalf.
Ndanji, 9 months ago you told us ck will be in jail on corruption charges in 3 months time, we are still waiting …..
Where’s is now. ..in and out of jail. As for corruption only a blind person like you can fail to notice the baboon uses to delay the case. But one day just as the expulsion case he’ll be cornered. Don’t worry it’s just around the corner.
Kambwili cannot talk of Mr Sata, Mr Sata was the very man who warned us of Kambwili, he said we should be careful with him because he craves for power, and now he chooses to sleep with the UPND, he is probably the next VP, since in upnd on vice Presidents change, but I wouldn’t be surprised of the HH-CK couple. was it not HH who was written a letter by Mr Sata that read “we acknowledge receipt of your childish and baseless letter.
I’m breaker I’m transcendent and I approve this message
Kambwili you are free to talk but for yourself. you are the most useless politician Zambia has ever produced. Your age and your reasoning are a mismatch. No right thinking Zambian would want to have a President like you. You will be a Idi Amin reloaded. You looked a bit wise when you were in Government but after you were kicked out your behavior and foul language against the President has totally finished you politically. Come 2021 ukanaka nokufenta.
He looked a bit wise? You need glasses He was a bumbling buffoon who wanted to protect his nest just like Dora does now. Like All political cadres are doing. These people just use all of us
CK should NOT THINK THAT HE IS TOO SMARTER than government , EVEN PF and ECL knows HOW they HAVE BEEN HATED BY GETTING FINANCIAL SUPPORT FROM CHINA , AND THEY ARE PLANNING STRONGLY because they know how you DISGRUNTLED POLITICIANS AND THE WEST have teamed up just to remove ECL out of power.CK will accuse the WHOLE WORLD especially people in PF but himself is a JUDAH SCARIOT OF PF . Pride HEART is the cause of his miseries.Revenge by destroying PF is not going to help you . Clean your HEART and MOUTH first , people will understand your temperament better. Political battle with ECL and His team will not win you anything but losing you everything.
If heavyweights like GBM, Mumembe are feeling the impact of the unproductive fight with ECL, where will CK end up??
By unproductive you when Lazy Lungu is using underhand methods to crush rivals…Mmembe had a photo opp with Cuban Ambassdor and the whole PF was up in arm and deported the in within 24 hours …I dont think weak Lazy Lungu would have survived the Post in its day hence the reason he had to close it down as his first priority.
KK, FTJ, Levy, RB and Sata didn’t survive the post. Chagwa sorted out the post by putting it in its place!!
Lazy bum illiterate hooligan bully Gay Jay TONGA UPND cadre son of a polygamist father who never taught him toilet training needing diaper change from cynical MUTINTA HICHILEMA and CHILDISH to change him in public! The good news is the the TRIBAL PART is UNELECTABLE!

Only fools can listen from corrupt kambwili,this is the same guy whose company got a lot of tenders under mwamona most of which he failed to complete. Now that he has fallen out of favour,he calls the govt corrupt.
What a load of rubbish!!! Speak for yourself.
Some people will never be something more than who they are
I feel sorry for Mr Kambwili or is it (pachifentelo or idibala)he seem not to know what is on the ground,he overates himself and he seem to be under an illusion.He is the spokes person,secretary general,treasurer,consultant,president of ndc etc everything is just about him.
How many votes did his party get in Manga go? If PF is that bad, why is he going to court to prevent his expulsion?
Kabwili please go and drink tea with the Queen in England, why are you torturing yourself in prison? We want change, we want people who are civil in their actions and thinking. We want honesty and integrity, unfortunately, you don’t possess any of these leadership acumens. Speak for your own pocket as you always do and leave the Zambian people alone.
BA DR, WHY NOT JUST LEAVE THEIR PARTY?
CK first pay back the money you got as an illegal minister when elections were held and parliament was dissolved then maybe you will speak for your son
He can only speak for the deads since suit his ego, he has to adopt their dialect. And the applaud him this time. The PFs castigate him. Zambian politics.
But these jokers aint gonna put food on your table. Peepe Taku!
Your behaviour is idiosyncratic, however, you are a product of the same corrupt government you are denouncing. You are not even supposed to pretend to be corrupt free because if you were not relieved of your duties as a minister, you would have been busy amassing riches at the expense of poor people. You are not as rich as you pretend that is why you can let go that PF seat in Luanshya. Every politician has followers and I am not surprised. You are a man full of confidence but wide open for a sucker punch. Anyone thinks he/she can be a president. I am just sick of this, the country needs proper opposition not people who form political parties out of frustrations and criticise because they are bitter. An opposition party should be an alternative government.

Speaking for who, with that dirty language ala
Kambwili you where fired from government and life now is difficult and no wonder you want people you insulted whilst in government are the people you are calling fellow comrades and they are playing you smart.you flew to Ndola to support HH for his police call out ,HH would have chartered a plane to Luanshya to return the favour,he simply posted on media to call for your release.Smell the coffee sir ,there is no wind of change in Zambia my dear opposition leaders go on the ground like Michael Sata you keep referring to did and market yourselves than being like the party that threw a lavish party of being in opposition for 20 years what an achievement indeed.
Lungu will only leave power when one his children are groomed to sucssed him for protection , even then future politicians will have a campain theam on the lines of bringing lungu and his team of theives to justice should they come to power…..
That I can bet on, if bookmakers can take such a bet, I would stake $10,000 on that bet.
I think it is UNELECTABLE!
Shamwali, in chi Bemba we say “uku tamfya lunshi pa mafi, kushi kapo”. Leave their “corrupt”party then they will probably leave you too.
No nonsense Kapeso!!! Welcome Boss

Really do our politicians know the laws of the land or they just brake them deliberately to attract attention from the general public, didnt the honourable MP read the laws of zambia before he decided to brake it or did do blindly with ignorance this question remains in my mind.
Who is Kamwili? Mpendula ati effect. Even criminals will be praised in this country where parents spoon fed them instead of teaching them how to fish. You will die blogging bamambala.
ck is a fool and only fools can clap for ck or those who only know these guys on media not me and other up right zambians ,ck which zambians who has made up there minds and for who, stop dreaming fat man, 2021 will be a very difficult campaign for the opposition you well understand better because till date you dont have issues to tell and convince voters your friends are buys organs u always in courts and police no sense
spaka is as foolish as ck no shame to comment on everything you are a fool silly man if u are
Continue barking ndc leader. Only your fellow dimwits will agree with you on the nonsense you spew on a daily basis. You lucky we have a President who tolerate a lot of nonsense. If you were in certain countries l know, you would have been rotting in jail by now. Behave yourself and grow up for once.
