Inspector General of Police Francis Kabonde has said he will not resign from his position despite calls for him to do so.
Speaking through Deputy Police Spokesperson Moses Suwali, Mr. Kabonde said government still needs his services as Inspector General.
He said he liaised with Home Affairs Minister Mukondo Lungu who told him that government still needs him in the police service. He added that those calling for his resignation are misplacing their wishes which he described as political.
And Mr. Kabonde has said government has already given answers to people’s calls that he resigns for his alleged failure to manage the Zambia Police Service.
He wondered why people have continued demanding for his resignation on grounds that he has no capacity to handle the Police Service.
Earlier, Zambia Police Deputy Spokesperson Moses Suwali told a Q fm reporter that the Inspector General of Police refuse to give interviews to the press. He said whatever information members of the press wanted from him can be given out by the Public Relations office.
On Monday, UPND Secretary General Winstone Chibwe called for the resignation of Mr. Kabonde on grounds that he has not only disappointed Zambians, but also the international community on his failure to manage the Zambia Police Service.
And on the same day, the Zambia Youths Association in the Fight Against Corruption called for Mr. Kabonde ‘s resignation on grounds that he has lamentably failed to inspire confidence not only in his staff at the police service, but also in the Zambian citizens at large.
[Q FM]
Viva IG, no need to resign you are a professional and only your professional ethics can be the only reason why you should resign, the work you are doing is commendable.
# 1, what commendable work is Kabonde doing? Kabonde has made citizens to lose confidence in the police!
IG Kabonde,
Ignore these ruble rousers whose only mandate is their insulting menu and imaginary power. They are neither the appointing authority nor carry constitutional mandate to order you. Real power is in the constitution and President Banda. If you have not bleached the constitution and subverted President Banda your appointing authority, trash their inconsequential hallucinations.
one story but different headlines: “IG Kabonde reacts to calls for his resignation” also “Kabonde refuses to step down”
Never deny Zambia your vast experience to serve on the police or indeed act on opinions of mere individuals who are nothing but ruble rousers struggling to be heard. Theirs are garbage in garbage out daily talking to own worthless souls inconsequentially.
Trash them all with contempt they deserve.
Of course he does not see anything wrong with his incompetent character. And who tells him that we need such a liability? MMD needs Kabonde and not Zambia!
I have reliable information,Bwezani will fire you on friday,mark my word…then we will see who will have the last laugh.
40 years after independence no public servant has resigned on such “trivial issues such as the ones the I.G is accused of having done, look at me I have a five year sentence hanging on my neck but I am still the M.M.D national secretary, I am not the only one, look at Mabenga, Kafupi , the list is endless so you guys calling for the resignation of the I.G must forget. direct your enegies in productive areas, this is Zambia the real Africa….perhaps the PACT might change things I might join them “when” they win…
Nobody expects a party cadre like Kabonde to resign !! Its doesnt matter if he resigns today or tomorrow his days are numbered and any he still will leave a legacy as ” THE WORST IG IN ZAMBIAN HISTORY” .The man has re-transformed the police service back to police force .It will be very easy to remember him.Yes the MMD needs the man but the “people” dont need him
If you won’t resign on your own, then you will be forced to, I.D.I.O.T!!!!!
#5, Veteran:
The only experience Kabonde has is how to say ” YES BWANA, YES BWANA, YES BWANA!!” to his superiors. Whether what he is been asked to do is clearly against the LAW and, most importantly, against his conscious—-case in point, his presence in Mufumbwe and the mayhem that followed.
He just admitted to the fact that the President sent him to Mufumbwe (read The Post). So the question has to be asked: For what reasons was Kaponde sent to Mufumbwe? This is the first time I have heard, in the entire history of Zambian elections, where the IG was sent to monitor by-elections. The question is; why couldn’t Kabonde question these instructions from the so called “ABOVE”?! It all comes back to the YES BWANA SYNDROM rampant among this generation of civil servants—shame!
Is this the same IG who said threatening violence(rape) is not a crime,then his spokesman said it is really a crime to threaten anyone with violence according to the the law
is he the same one from whom a warn and caution statement was recorded for paying for police cars that havent been delivered-mind you a warn and caution precedes an arrest
Is this the same IG who bolted from mmd thugs at a police station during by-elections
Is he the same one who was quized by his juniors on why he had to go to Mufumbwe instead of delegating,his only answer was that i was working on orders from above
The only reason he wouldnt resign is because he has no fiber of morality in him, and the law will definately visit him,he is just buying time
IG Kabonde,
Steadfastly keep serving this country and ignore all these crackers with a deafening heart they are nothing but meritless ne’er-do-well.
Red Card-Smoothcriminal,
Last week in seeking a debate audience of SC citizen, you were insulting and smearing Hon Mkhondo Lungu Home office minister as a mere teacher without Political Science education. SC kept telling you that Mkhondo is an accomplished diplomat and political scientist. Now SC engaged him and read his profile if googled: “Mkhondo Lungu:Diplomat-cum-politician”
How do you commend someone who perpetuates violence and murder, SON OF A DEVIL, you will soon pay!
#1 I think the cold season has terribly affected your thinking capacity.
#7 I hope for our country’s sake you are right. This guy has got to GO.
Gogo boss Kabonde, U have adequate support form us! Satanas are just feeling your action next elections 2011. If they repeat mapatizya formular, kik them u now have experience on how to deal with such perpetrators of crime.:-\”
#8 Katele, You are so funny yet your views are very true and very serious. Well, in Africa they never resign even when they have lost all integrity and shamed in any way. I can’t think of any Zambian politician that has ever resigned their position on moral ground, so Kabonde’s decision does not surprise anyone.
# 12 Red Card-Smoothcriminal,
Challenge Mkhondo and SC now:
Mr Lungu went for teacher training at the Kitwe College from 1964-65 and upon completion he was posted to Kapichila Primary School in Lundazi where he taught for three years from 1966-69.
“At that time my ambition was to further my education so while I was teaching, I was studying for my GCE (General Certificate Education) O levels and in 1969, I completed the required five subjects. I then applied for admission to the University of Zambia (UNZA),” he said.
# 12 Red Card-Smoothcriminal,
Challenge Mkhondo and SC now:
He was accepted in 1970 and instead of earlier desire to study law, Mr Lungu graduated after fours years of study with a double major in Political Science and Public Administration.
He took international law and organisation as a minor.
He then joined Government and was posted as an intern in the district commissioner’s office in Ndola.
But that was not until he had attended National Service training at Mushili camp in Ndola.
#14 Veteran/Senior Citizen/BK
One;last week i never blogged on this site, thats a lie
Two; I never insulted nor smeard Mkhondo Lungu
three;the infor i used i got it from parliament website which is updated monthly by Nyambe
and i still stand by that information.mkhondo lungu is a teacher by profession with an advanced diploma in international relations,according to his profile on the parliament website
Later, he moved to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1975 as officer cadet, which was equivalent to the position of principal.
In 1976, he was transferred to Cabinet Office in the unit for contingency planning under the directorship of late Nyambe Mutendango and late Haswell Mwale who was the minister.
In 1977, he was sent to National Service and this time to Katete camp and it was while there that he and a colleague Zukani Siwale were nominated to attend training at the University of Nairobi in international relations.
That meant he had to be transferred back to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and after his training he was assigned to the political desk.
In 1979, he was sent to the Zambian Permanent Mission to the United Nations as first secretary in political affairs.
In 1982, he was sent to Canada as deputy high commissioner and later to London in the same capacity. He was recalled in 1987 to become chief of protocol based at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs headquarters.
The IG is a liability to the peace n security of this country. How does he just go about obeying orders blindly? His partisan approach is a threat to the security of the nation. Kabonde should swallow his pride n retire
Well done Kabinde. Di not follow what is happening in Japan and German were leaders are resigning on moral grounds. In Zed we believe that only the ‘Boss’ can fire or hire. If he is quiet then you are game. No problem.
Pabuliki thinks polisi yasila. No no no… under Kabonde it is ticking.

Let me narrow it for you, Now challenge Mkhondo and SC now:
Mr Lungu graduated after fours years of study with a double major in Political Science and Public Administration.
“Speaking through Deputy Police Spokesperson Moses Suwali, Mr. Kabonde said government still needs his services as Inspector General.” What utter nonsense. There are more than a million young Zambians who can do far better than this Idi Amin of ZP. 50 years after independence you mean we will continue depending on this ogle of a man.Zambia does not need him, it is him who needs the job.
# 21 Red Card-Smoothcriminal,
Mr Lungu graduated after fours years of study with a double major in
(1)-Political Science and Public Administration.
(2)-He took international law and organisation as a minor.
(3)-In 1977 entered the University of Nairobi in international relations.

If he is a political scientist,let him update his profile on the website as well,i’ve got no problems with his educational background and what he might or is yet to archieve.
The issue at hand is about Kabonde refusing to resign,you need to grow up ba mudala ba BK,you have a young family and at the rate you are going,i feel sorry for your kids
You’ve been ridiculed,insulted left right and center from kids who are the same age as your kids on this blog and yet just because you will be rewarded with another post at another mission…have a bit of dignity, even if it sebana wikute,this is beyond

# 21 Red Card-Smoothcriminal,
Hope after reading # 30 you will deal with your mouth diarrhea of defaming people you don’t even know. Don’t you feel embarrassed and inadequate when pitched with SC whom you have lamentably failed to identify hence daily criminally defaming innocent BK until LT gives you in to a legal suit through internet private bleach. Don’t think its time you concentrated in being a Sata sycophant to nowhere or indeed prepare his exile considering that he has voluntarily vowed to enter the exile and MMD is here to stay beyond 2011?
You are stuck in a small office in a corner as a press liaison officer daily blogging on LT,meanwhile your mates who were awarded similar posts with you when you were at ZNBC are bosses somewhere doing better things and still progressing,remember you used to sit with Dora and Chimanse reading 19hrs znbc news,but you would rather sit in a corner and pray that you are posted and you are proud of that
Its a pity to have pipo like senior citizen who can just say yes to anything in favor of rulling party. Lets advise our leaders were see them going out of the line. If we say yes to wrong doing the whom are serving? I was very happy to hear that newly appointed Home affairs also question IG over Mufumbwe. Shame
Veteran/Senior Citizen aka BK
can you show me where i defamed Mkohondo lungu,or atleast show me where i insulted him,i just looked at his profile and noticed that he’s a professional school teacher with a diploma in international relations
#32, who’s BK anyway,are yiu trying to tell me something i dont know?
Why is it that you think anyone who is against mmd is a PF member
Red Card-Smoothcriminal ,
In trying to stand to SC’s congratulatory message, you openly here belabored to demean Mkhondo Lungu as a mere teacher with a shool certificate trying to par him to Sata a sub 2. Read his profile give out for the open domain and apologise to Mkhondo or his son Mhabi Lungu.
I always laugh at you when you confuse me to SC and dress us both as BK. liitle do you know that SC, MMD Chief Bootlicker and indeed myself are far beyond your imagination in the private sector.SC and i have been in the Diaspora for more than 13 and 9 years now but frequent zed 3 times a year. little do you know that we are actually financial donors to the party than you whimper whinning helplessly here. Dream on with your BK when you cannot even see where this very blog is coming from.
# 35,
You are too confused to recollect yourself.
who’s BK anyway,are yiu trying to tell me something i dont know? you asked
Veteran/Senior Citizen aka BK who wrote this?
Red Card-Smoothcriminal,
Your endless illusions of the man you call BK you claim worked at ZNBC and is at the mission in DC is one of the many evidence of your handicapsy.
Secondly, your illusions that the insulting you do on SC, myself, RB, MMD leaders and patriotic Zambians would deviat us from our passion and legiance to the country we have grown loving is evidence of subnormal nature. We are here to prove you dead wrong that Zed will never ever slide in the hands of your fellow tribalists and kaponyas that you are.We mean business of a protected nation state.

Dream on with your ignorance mantra of Ben Kangwa an innocent patriot serving his country in his jurisdiction with dignity. Certainly even the day his MoFA will relocate him to Europe and any of us will remain blogging from the USA you will still be cluessly hallucinating that its Ben Kangwa. I hope some day Mr. Kangwa can sue you through the LT honchos that retain comprehensive details on every blogger. To you USA is Washington DC and Washington DC is the USA. And every professional in your poverty trolling head is working for the Zambian mission in DC. that is what Pverty, illiteracy and poverty do to ignoramuses like you. You don’t see that the USA has taken in many professional Zambian who have no p***ion for the opposition fantasy…

This kind of failure on you kids has no future. Its actually very dangerous handcapsy LT keeps laughing around the clock. How do you fail to know and allocate a simple blogger when even cheap and simple cyber bleach could prove you ignorance?

Smooth criminal v Vetran.Smooth criminal you have been shamed. Sorry man you see why the wise bloggers choose not to go one on one with him.HAHAHAHA.
Post 39 and 40 were written and posted on 2 different days,it wouldnt take a rocket scientist to know that the same Veteran who posted on May 2, 2010 at 8:08 pm is the same Senior Citizen who posted on April 30, 2010 at 6:34 am.Even if i have these two posts you will still say you are not SC,so the issue here is that you are blogging as veteran and yet you will change and blog as SC.no matter how much evidence i will lay for you,you will always deny the fact that you are the same BK,the record spinner,by the way,MMD Chiefbootlicker just said his goodbyes earlier,he’s packing his bags from south african embassy,dont lie to us that you are a financier
#35, Why are you burning your brain dealing with retrogressive men that do not see beyond their noses. MMD is a big problem for once I expected them to call a spade by its right term. Alas, they are always jamming the blog by God knows what the herk they are trying to put across. Even grade one pupils learn everyday that MMD has failed to change lives of people that really need change. We are on the ground to ensure that many people register as voters so that this sinking ship is saved. Corruption is too much although some people are good at ignoring it. Gents understand that what is wrong is just that and we must hide our faces and expose our bodies. Come 2011 we will see how loud mouthed they will be.
Veteran/Senior citizen aka BK
so from the two posts above,who is veteran and who is senior citizen,obviously any sane person would be confused to read those two very similar comments from allegedly two different people,unless ofcourse they are brain dead
Red Card Smooth Criminal – well done for nailing Veteran aka Senior Citizen, who are one and the same person. This person also uses various other pseudonyms to protest whenever someone points out that he is infact BK and that his cover has been blown. He has also let slip that there is a connection between the state machinery and LT and issues subtle threats. Our government being paranoid feel like knowing the name of the person who says they are doing a lousy job is useful intelligence. Thats what you get for recruiting amatuers – but what else can we expect from our inept leaders.
#43 and #45
Cheers guys,this senile citizen is just a very small fish,though an old man ofcourse with a small brain
Smooth Criminal.
Your two posts above do show some evidence of the stupidity.
Try and find the other six I.D’s he uses.
What you wrote here is PERFECT!
It needs to be posted again just for VETERAN so he can try the same attack on me.

Red Card-Smoothcriminal,
You are totally deluded, handicapped and too lazy to think intelligently or even get any closer on who and where any of us patriotic and steadfast Zedians are in the USA. Keep dreaming with a reminder that scandalizing an innocent public service worker you call BK based on the hallucinations of another Sata street kid here Kalos2000 will cost you some day. We have forewarned you that LT will not protect anyone from legal recourse should the BK you have been scandalizing pickets it here and takes LT on in litigation. If you had made effort to invest in IT could have avoided your illusion about the states in the USA where any of us blogs. Alas its a brainless four legged thing with eyes facing down instead of the cyber. Research SC is based in Boston…
You Australian aborigines calling yourself Red Card-Smoothcriminal, no need to mutate because at LT you are protected unless a litigation comes your way.Apologize to Mkhondo Lungu and SC for defaming such an accomplished stateman of Mkhondo’s caliber. You belabored to drag him to the sub 2 of sata. have you seen his profile from UNZA, University of Nairo and service at the UN, in Canada, UK and at MoFA?
Now hire a computer guru to get closer in illusion of who these selfless patriots in Ohio and Boston, MA are. If that the lie you have been misfeeding sata, no wonder he is heading into self exile next year. unless RB decides to retire IG Kabonde, you Kaponyas your Chawama and mapatizya option will turn into your own curse.
Kabonde you are so useless. You have even the guts to dare us?? Just resign on moral grounds. Bushe kanshi you blacks mwapangwa shani? You never resign even when you are caught pants down. PLEASE BWANA WE WANT YOU TO RESIGN coz you are a disgrace to the police service in Zambia.[-([-(
Veteran/Senior Citizen aka BK
Read your own posts @ #39 and 40, from those two posts,do you still believe that veteran and senior citizen are two different people
i dont doubt your patriotism and steadfastness,its up to you to deny your own identity,as for where you blogging from,its somewhere in the zambian embassy in america,you can deny it as much as you want,but the fact is that when you go back home,look in the mirror and ask the man in front of you. Who really am I! Senior Citizen/Veteran/Ben Kangwa or whatever else you call yoself.
Shalom! im done with you
#36 we dont give a shit about what you are doing in the diaspora.All we are asking from you is for you to shut your silly mouth,coz you are always suporting silly causes.Why waste money suporting a party that is already plundering.
Veteran you are more abo than the people you have mentioned infact your are a torresraitislander.Just because MMD sent you abroad doesnt mean you should start calling Zambians Abos we kapuba iwe.
Veteran
im going to ask for the last time,,,where did i defame Mkhondo Lungu please and who is SC for me to apologize to,what did i do to these people for me to apologize.
I would gladly apologise if you show me where i defamed or said anything wrong to Mkhondo or the same SC,who is SC
Veteran/Senior Citizen
up untill now i have respected you,havent called you names or insulted you,i would expect you to respect me just as much,from your tone of your language and how you address issues i presume you are even older than me,much much older actually,so i would expect you to be more civil.from your rantings so far it seems i have struck a very sensitive nerve
Latest: Membe Found quilty, Watch this space.
Veteran @ 45 writes “We have forewarned you that LT will not protect anyone from legal recourse” ….. Can Veteran please explain who he means when he say WE have warned you? Remember the subtle threats i told you would emerge should you suggest that they are BK? Is it defamation for someone to mistake ones identity? You proclaim to be an IT guru, i suggest you get an understanding of some basic Law. if anyone is going to be sued here then it is Senior Citizen and Veteran. SC i have warned you before when you rant about anyone who is anti MMD. You go so far as to publishing information about people which is not in the public domain! Zambia is not subject to the data protection act, but the countries that you are blogging from have data privacy laws so you would do well to be warned.
Veteran,
You are foolish, all the trash you have written can be summarised in one paragraph go back to school for summary please.
You guys just forget about Vetran, Mwata , senior Citizen. The chap is in job end times. He has only a diploma in writting news but this time there are young boys and girls with degrees. So Vetran, Mwata Senior Citizen cant imagine going back to Zambia to suffer. Be like me, dont read his childish rantings.:)>-:)>-
Confusion in Zambia Police. Kabonde is using Suwali leaving Bonny Kapeso. Remember it was Kapeso who corrected inconsistent Kabonde that threatening rape is an offense when Kabonde said it was not an offense. Kabonde travelled to Mufumbwe with this Moses Suwali. I smell a rat! I hope they are not victimising Kapeso, that professional and sober cop.
Kambongolo,
My friends, you are leaving in the past. In Zambia, nowdays we are O.K so long somebody is hard working and educated don’t think of the Zambia in 1990’s when Kafupi was ruluing. Levy did alot of good to Zambia but RB is trying to take us back to the 90’s.
The People
i think what Kambongolo meant was that since senior citizen/veteran has just got a diploma in journalism he will find it hard to get a job since most guys back home have degrees,hence him suffering,not that everyone back home is suffering.Sometimes i even feel scared to go home cause i know most people back there are doing far much better
Red Card-Smoothcriminal,
Thanks for your observations. It is true, we are doing fine. I hear for you guys there, to have good living, somebody must have two to three jobs. Here, somebody can have one good job and manage to have cars and good houses. Once more, thank you for your observations.
# 60 whom do you think can read the crap that senior citizen or veteran writes ? A person has to be a psycho to do that.:-?
The People
Sometimes it all depends on what job one is doing,as far as i know i havent met anyone with more than two jobs,though one can do double shifts if he/she has the time and its more money anyway,the money is good though,thats how come some people are even able to pay for their fees without any support from back there,and save for that dark day
I used to think Kabonde was an alien, but got disappointed that he was from Chief Munkanta, Kawambwa. I dont know, but am sure William Banda has be witched him.
Red Card-Smothcriminal
What I mean is that, Here back home, you would not find somebody with good qualifictions, Iike degrees doing extra useless jobs like cleaning old people to earn a good living. Just come back home and see for your self. Alas most of your friends when they come back they have vowed never to return to those foreign countries were you are segregated (Rasism).
# 68 that also depends on which country that person lives.I for one i can work any job and i mean any job for three hours a day and still manage to get a fat salary enough to enable me pay for my school,buy some building material for a small house i am constructing back home and as well sponsor some relatives in college back home.I am just a student by the way living in one of the richest countries in the world and that is norway, and here there is a minumum wage a person is supposed to earn no matter the job.I will only come to Zambia coz it is my home otherwise there is nothing one can miss in zambia part from that “kumwenu nikwikoshi”.:-?
“He said he liaised with Home Affairs Minister Mukondo Lungu who told him that government still needs him in the police service” Kabonde cant you think for yourself, you are always following instructions from above but what does your own reasoning tell you? you know damn well you messed up you dont need anyone to tell you to do the right thing
The very idea that he would resign on his own would be groundbreaking and historical. Nobody in Zambia ever resigns! They wait to be fired. When is the last time you heard any office holder in Zambia had resigned of their own free will? It must be something in the water.
:(( kobonde has the experience to do a good job but his problem is his judgment on some decisions are wrong.
Typical, these leaders never resign, simply because they have no principals, the taxpayers want you to resign. The Zampbia Police needs soooooo much work to be done, first of all the corps are corrupt, then i am not sure what the heck else they do because iam not sure they even have patrols in high crime areas anymore. I am not sure they even have tools to use to curb crime effectively, sometimes they have no gas to go to a crime scene. Citizens have less protection, i think the police should be shaken from top to bottom. Anyway, i can’t say enough on how they need to improve but its the change that is highly needed.
Kabonde plans to go to the sun at night
Thats the problem of sending out unproffessional pipo in the mission such as Veteran/Senior Citizen/Mwata. who doesnt know his job discription, he is just besy reading LT and posting vogal Language against non MMD supporters. Mind you may go back to Zed next
