National Democratic Congress President Chishimba Kambwili says he can never be broke because has invested heavily in retail estate and motor vehicles.
Mr Kambwili said he owns over 70 properties in Zambia and the Uk which earns him enough money through rentals every month.
Dr. Kambwili has challenged people who are alleging that he is broke to go to his house and see how many vehicles he owns and are parked there.
He said he is living nicely and his children have never pulled out of school.
“Just go and tell the people who are saying Kambwili is broke to visit my house and see what type of vehicles are packed there. Have you ever seen me walking? Have my children pulled out of school? I am not broke, I own over 70 properties in Zambia and in the UK and I get rentals every month, just look at me, do I look poor to you? I am looking nice,” he said
Mr Kambwili however admitted that his income has been reduced after his businesses were squeezed by the PF government.
And Dr. Kambwili says he is still relevant in politics because it is only his speech he delivered at the PF convention which has become the talk of the town despite other opposition leaders having spoken at the same event.
He has charged that NDC faction leader, Joseph Akafumba has betrayed the Zambian people by supporting the UPND alliance which has its own interest.
Dr. Kambwili has since announced that the NDC will hold its general conference this weekend.
He was speaking after attending his court case in which he is facing 35 counts of having property reasonably suspected to be proceeds of crime.
It is your right to speak and attend any convention you wish to. The upnd are angry because you didn’t attend theirs. Yesterday you were there saviour and partner and now because you have done the Christian thing and apologised to the president, they are calling you all sorts of names.
Enjoy your hard work. Even me I own property all over the world through my sweat and hard work..but everyday the jealous upnd diasporans call me a thief and all sorts. They are angry because they went abroad and are cleaning toilets whereas we stayed in Zambia but own houses where they ran away to.
The last paragraph reads: “He was speaking after attending his court case in which he is facing 35 counts of having property reasonably suspected to be proceeds of crime”. It would have been good of the attending journalist to ask CK what his comment was on this charge?
And KZ is back to his favourite slogan of the UPND diasporans. While he himself is a UK based diasporan himself. Okay let’s have it KZ: how many properties do you own and where? Give details because nobody believes that you have even got ONE lousy shed in your back garden.
Every man brags about his dick, no matter how small. Somebody who runs a fleet of ramshackle vessels on Kafue river has a right to boast, at least he’s contributing to the GDP. Zambians shouldn’t make the mistake of voting for “that” man! You know who. Despite being in existence for over 20 years now the UPND will never mature. If you don’t work with them then you’ve been bought and therefore become a target for their insults. I think CK is more politically mature than the entire UPND
Mr. Kambwili is as dull as they come.
This is a chap that measures his wealth by pieces if scrap meter aka cars.
Someone should tell him that some people walk or cycle just to get fit. And most are a lot richer than him.
Does Kambwili look nice?
Hell NO!.
He is a fat greasy looking mother fimo fimo besieged with medical challenges.
Then what is making him go back to PF after those horrible things he said about Edgar Lungu and the PF?
Mr kambwili as the cases stand if they find
All your properties were acquired as stated
In the last paragraph and the court forfeits
It to the state,what will you remain with?
You can’t make this stuff up…only in Zambia where the perpetrator of crime tells the enforcement where the crime was committed and uses it to defend himself. We need to do a lifestyle audit on this chap. Scotland yard are already looking at properties in the UK linked to this clown as possible proceeds of crime. Let him retire quietly then if he thinks he can sustain himself without public funds.
Good on you Sir
With all your 70 properties you will still end up in prison.
CK is a crook ad most b ashamed of coming out like tht, u very cheap. This is your down fall in your political life, if Zambians will support u? They most be fools, wht u hv acquired in whtever form is yours ad family. Now u are rich, chawama, at the expense of the Zambians whn thm can’t afford a bottle of cooking oil which is beyond their reach. Mwabobeni ba CK.
In the end, i conclude that politics is a career in which others excel and others don’t. Please Zambians and Africa at large, stop treating politicians as saviors. What drives an economy is not politics but business through entrepreneurship. We have brilliant brains languishing because they want to be politicians or worse still politician’s servants. Leave politics for those that are meant for it and concentrate on contributing positively at whatever level you are. Kambwili may be whoever you describe him but that doesn’t take away the fact that he has impacted many lives positively than some us have. Peace…
In life everything has time and due season. Be advised that the best you can do in the meantime is to keep yourself away from media. In making too many statements you will soon find yourself implecated or misquoted.
Over 70 properties ?
Am shocked Mr. Kaizar Zulu is now talking sweet about CK!
The used condom impersonator KZ went into GRZ with finished shoes, today he boasts of being rich while Zambians get poor by the hour…..
Commenting on your speech at the PF event does not make you relevant in Zambian politics. At one time we thought you were but it has been proved to us otherwise hence our comments on your instability and to let the would be voters know exactly the type of person they are dealing with.
This is typical acake CB mindset of showing people your liabilities as assets showing how rich you…anyway as a BUFFOON
Hope Zambians are listening. All that property he is bragging about was bought with YOUR money!
COMMENTING ON CHISHIMBA KAMBWILI’S SPEECH AND NOT OTHERS MEANS THAT CK IS FACTOR IN POLITICS AND UPND ARE NEGATIVELY AFFECTED BY HIS POLITICAL MOVES. MULESUMINAKO FIMO. CK IS THE ONE TO BE ON YOUR OPPOSITE SIDE. HE MAY LACK SOMETHINGS WHICH I PERSONALLY DO NOT KNOW. BUT, ONE THING FOR SURE IS THAT HE IS A VERY ELOQUENT SPEAKER AND HE CAN FINISH YOU WITH ONLY HIS SPEECHES. NOT WITH AMABWE.. KOSENIKO BA UPND MPOSA MABWE.
CK is hard working man.
Very shallow empty tin
Zambians have themselves to blame for supporting a breed of expired politicians who in turn have the impunity to speak however in whichever way! The arrogance with which CK is boasting is not peculiar to him but it encompasses many more who care less for the country and its citizens as all they care for is to exploit the manipulative advantage bestowed them by the taken for granted voters! For Zambia the sun is not journeying across the Zambian skies!
I’ve learned something, having many cars is a symbol of wealth in Zambia lol. Property I say yep makes sense. Cars? Please.
This is my Problem with kambwili. He talks and talks too much. At the imes, he talks without thinking. He thinks after talking ending up talking rubbish or nosense. People may say things at times it is to provoke. Kambwili stop responding to all nisense. You are not broke and even if you are, it does not help to brag the way you are doing. It actually cheapens you. A leader should not respond to every attack. Please get some attack dogs. Ecl do not actually respond to all attacks, but he has bulldogs that does the trick. Learn from him lol.
I am not shocked that UPND are talking hatefully soar against Kambwili today. Times and tides quickly change.
I struggle to comprehend why Zambians get so thin-skinned and resort to saying unnecessary things. Let your lifestyle speak for you. Enough said.
