The National Democratic Congress (NDC) President Mr. Chishimba Kambwili has said that his recent incarceration had no effect on him, but gave him an opportunity, as someone aspiring for the highest office in the land, to get to know how people in jail are kept.
Speaking to the media at his woodlands Residence in Lusaka, Mr. Kambwili said even when he was in the Patriotic Front, under the leadership of the late Michael Chilufya Sata, he was jailed for 30 days, and for him, that amounts to nothing as it is simply political imprisonment.
Mr. Kambwili maintained that he went to prison without committing a crime, adding that he is as clean as Mr. Kenneth Kaunda’s handkerchief and wondered, while in prison, why he was sent there but had to adapt and adjust.
Mr. Kambwili accused magistrate David Simusamba of being personally unfair and malicious to him and called the behaviour of magistrate Simusamba as unbecoming.
‘I have evidence to show how malicious the magistrate was. There is a recording which will be presented to the court for proof in the other matter,’ Mr. Kambwili said.
Mr. Kambwili wondered why the magistrate issued a bench warrant on a person who had COVID-19.
‘At one time, I had COVID-19 which almost claimed my life. But the magistrate accused me of having faked COVID-19. COVID-19 is a government ‘program’ and records are kept by the government,’ he said.
Mr. Kambwili further accused the magistrate of making his office a money-making adventure, saying that he had refused to give the give him K360 000, adding that the Judicial Complaints Commission recommended that magistrate Simusamba be removed but the Commission refused to act.
Mr. Kambwili denied ever committing any crime and said that if reporting the magistrate to the authorities was a crime, then he was guilty as charged.
He said that at no time did he do whatever the magistrate said during the judgment. He maintained that Simusamba lied in his judgment to create an impression in the minds of the high court that he was a bad person.
He denied ever including a fictitious person in the company he formed and said there no crime he committed in involving his son in the company.
‘Simusamba is a danger to the Judiciary and must be removed from the judiciary for the good of the country,’ Mr. Kambwili stated.
‘Coincidentally, the K360,000 he demanded from me is the same amount (K300,000) he charged for bail application. And when I got the money to pay the bail, the magistrate was no were to be seen,’ he said.
He wondered why the magistrate wanted to punish him with the high amount which was difficult to find this time. ‘In the past, there was no one who was asked to pay cash bail pending appeal. So the unfairness with all this, especially the harsh bail conditions are all there for all to see,’ he said.
Humility is cardinal.
In this game of life, and your position as a convict humility is important.
When you’re on bail, you are pending the next court session or sessions. You better be not maligning the court personnel at this point in time.
This fat kid is hiper careless and damn talkative.
What kind’a opposition politicians does this country have? Weird let downs.
Chishimb Kabwili doesn’t have any integrity, no amount of laundering can cleanse him. He’s as dirty as used shinda paper. His mouth will continue to put him in further problems
Worse than Lungu. And that means something.
This gor1lla should be behind bars where it belongs. We are sick and tied of his self centered negative energy. Why is he jumping to percussion rather than explaining his dodggy dealings. Kambwili really thinks he is untouchable and that the Zambian people are so naive to his rhetoric. This is the chap who uses all sorts of tricks to fool the courts. If he has been found guilty then he needs to be in jail otherwise you should also release all those inmates under the Kabwili law.
CK is not showing wisdom. Infact he is not worth to be HH`s running mate, its just that there is no other option for winning 2021 elections. For Zambia to become better, we need better leaders than this.
12 days was not enough. They should have kept it like the other one. After 4 months his friend came out deflated. He is not as hyper as he was before, claiming not to recognise anyone. Now this one they need to add another 364 days to the remaining 352 days on appeal. Let him learn.
Let’s not forget how this man used to act when he was in government. And the fact that he would go to the accountants and demand payment whilst making threats has landed him in prison.
The accountants were treated like nothing and he would sign his name on documents there for clearing payments.
These are the people who reported him to Tayali as he then was executive director the Zambian Voice.
How can you expect incarceration to have had an effect on you, when you have not even spent a full week inside iwe mambaIa. It seems kambwili is bewitched. How do you now start accusing a judge of bribing you in the media without availing evidence ? Why not take it to court or report it to police ? You are very childish. It seems all that fatness has clouded your brain. Look we understand you are hurt because our president didn’t consider you competent enough to be running mate. Take it like a man and grow some ballz
Can Lusaka Times block this moron already>?>?>?>
Chishimba Kambwili should not fool anyone that he did not commit a crime. He should know Chilufya Tayali took him to court to prove his innocence of being corrupt free and the court found him guilty. If the judge asked for the bribe its because he already knew the crime was clear and like other bad judges he wanted to save his face. He has appealed and let him be silent until another judge takes the case at High Court. If the High Court finds that Judge Simusamba errored then he can talk. Kambwili may have approached the judge stage managed so that he uses it for the court to commission to give his case to someone he knows or has dealt with.
Now I understand what it means silence is golden. You have been granted bail, taken the judge to court and still commenting on the same court issues. I thought you are not supposed to comment on matters before the courts of law. Who is advising you bwana? Anyway you have lawyers.
Kambwili’s brain and mouth function independently. His mouth will take him to jail. At some point I thought his wife was better than him to choose not to live under the same roof with this diarrhea mouth by going to clean toilets in the UK but I was wrong. Him and the wife are just the same. Unfortunately they have even infected the daughter.
“Imbwili” will turn into a “phushi”(cat) eventually. Ndelolesha fyeee
PF ‘s panic and desperation campaign and indeed people living in Woodlands, Chalala and Chilenje South areas were terribly disturbed the all night by the noise that came from the PF Campaign with amplified sounds. PF was busy distributing out stolen money to musicians and pulling crowds of vulnerable and hungry youths where intoxication of alcohol and illicit sex engagement was being promoted. The partisan Zambia Police and the hopeless compromised Ministry of Health allowed such huge gathering without observing COVID19 guidelines. I also doubt if the Zambia Police issued any permit to that illegal assembly. The panic by PF has reached alarming levels and PF still is thinking in dununa reverse mood where they think composing political songs will influence Zambians more especially the…
Kambwili should learn to control his cholera mouth these legal people support each other bakamiposapo fye mukalyati baguyi imwe! Just shut up for once I’d!0t!
No, bwana Kambwili, this time round you are a different person, to wit: a crook, a con, a trusty, a criminal, a villain, a loser!
Quotes from the Book of Life:
“From the fruit of his lips, a man will enjoy good things.” (Proverbs 13:2)
“Life and death are in the power of the tongue.” (Proverbs 18:21)
“An evil man is trapped by his rebellious speech, but a righteous man escapes from trouble.” Proverbs 12:13.
Sometimes it’s better to accept your fate and chug on quietly in life.
@ Chale, you are not obeying your last quote ,Proverbs 12:13
Should I give you from my book quantrains?
Welcome back BUFFOON CK …anyway Zambia is morally bankrupt if a lawyer can pilfer a poor widows money and go on to become President…what more you who is using proxy companies to award yourself government contracts. If opposition will be fooolish enough to promise this man top positions in their future govt then they are no different to the crooks in PF today.

Mr Chishimba Kambwili is may be reaping what he invested while in PF regime where he boasted as a man who does not fail doing projects – pledged to build a stadium in Mongu which is now water under the bridge. Mr Chishimba Kambwili moved with trunks of cash paying PF youths country wide without any accountability in place including his own accountability to PF regime as minister of Youths and Sports for the huge sums of money.
However, the treatment his wife mrs Carlo Chishimba Kambwili and his daughter who were brutalised and dehumanised by PF police can not go without comment These were innocent people and not politicians to be treated so badly that beamed a dark page on Zambia’s standin treatment of their citizens and this was reported on social media world over. All prominent well…
meaning women called it an affront to civil liberties. Bizzare,
the vice president Inonge Wina and the first lady Esther Lungu and Gender minister Elizabeth Phiri, all were mute. That is hypocrisy of the highest order in the light that mrs Chishimba and her daughter were innocent citizens being brutalised while the 3 most prominent women watch and party. See Zambia Human Right report to refresh your minds. Its shaming to be a woman in Zambia especially under PF government.
As you fatcats steal our money prepare for the prison cells. They have no air conditioning and ensuite bedrooms no DStv and no airport to run to to access your offshore accounts
I know 95 percent of politicians are corrupt thieves always looking for an opportunity to pilfer
I’m not a supporter of either Jonathan, the Leopard or Bally. Going by the statements above it appears UPND supporters are rejoicing in Kambwili’s troubled waters. They think Bally has very little competition to fight Jonathan. What they should be worried about is: who is next? If I was a UPND supporter I will be more focussed about how the meting out justice is being done in Zambia. It’s so selective such that real criminals are going scot free. The crime Kambwili committed is very common in Zambia across the entire fabric of our society. Pet forgery in Zambia is everywhere. People forge registration cards, school certificates, and register fake pharmacies like the one in Chilenge. People even fake tribes in Zambia. The fact that Kambwili has been arrested doesn’t mean a whole lot of…

The fact that Kambwili has been arrested doesn’t mean a whole lot of you are perfect. What Kambwili did is wrong but please give Kambwili some space. I’m sure even Bally is not perfect.
You have to learn to be humble sir!!! Aren’t you the one who needed a generator to power your breathing device as you sleep in prison???? You sound like you’re ready to go back there. @ Tarino it’s good to see you back.
Can someone please pump sense into CK? He is not a free man he has just appealed and he is on bail.
Meanwhile BUFFOON CK’s wife was saying something else last week about the breadwinner locked up, how can he say incarceration had no impact on him when his son was running about looking for K300,000…sometimes its best to shut you mouth even that case would have been disappeared if you shut your big mouth but you went to the media to say that the company was in your sons name…really laughable…sometimes its best to just say no comment.
‘When you have elderly people to ask in the village on key public matters and you choose not to do so failure is unforgivable and unjustifiable. I end here for now’ and I quote, VJ. Reading between the lines VJ is ready for hire by the big-spenders PF, yes you heard me, not City or Real Madrid? He will be available, after studying the US elections, to do what he does best, for them (PF) and this time, it will be for big money. His diplomatic message above to PF is that: ‘come and get me, UPND is a piece of cake’! Eddie has been locked in a meeting with PF bootlickers, he wont see Lungwangwa, he doesn’t even want to know him, anymore, Professor who? Bill what? He doesn’t want to be dealing directly with VJ either. Well, he will let Sunday and Antonio deal with it. Trouble is these…
Trouble is these two are social media-happy. Well, the Zambians are currently occupied with Mutale Mwanza, the evil-eye bracelete, Izabel oil and infrastructure development and dancing to different versions of ‘ba Mwankole’ at the moment. Some are worried about Covid-19 and their next meal. “Sunday, Antonio, call VJ”. Which VJ? “There is only one VJ”. And that’s how UPND was still dancing celebrating the fall of Bill 10 while it was already 2025. Lungu was planning on how he was going to stand in 2026 because Sangwa was such a pain!
Untill we show these low calibre loud mouthed people like Kambwili that, yes, our institutions have challangees like anywhere else but that they work, we will continue to have these court time wasters forming political parties with the hope that their kantemba political parties will help them skip jail sentences for their criminal activities. That is the only reason why Kambwili has kept on advancing the political card. There is nothing political about being convicted for forgery. Whether Tayali was paid or not that is immaterial. After all the intelligence of most people in opposition is about being paid by the ruling party, or being a surrogate etc and that is the level, nothing is objective until they have Hichilema in state house.
UPND GET RID OF THIS CHAP KEEPING HIM IS TOXIC !!!!!!!!!!!
KEEP HIM AT YOUR OWN PERIL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The best advice is for ck not to talk much. Let him prove his innocence through the court.
