Chief government spokesperson Chishimba Kambwili says United Party for National Development president Hakainde Hichilema and his deputy Geoffrey Mwamba should not be entrusted with authority to run affairs of the country.
Speaking in Luanshya yesterday when he addressed journalists, Mr Kambwili said it would be unwise to allow the two businessmen-cum-politicians to run the country because of their “love for money”.
Mr Kambwili, who is Roan member of Parliament and Minister of Information and Broadcasting Services, said: “It will be very dangerous to give the country to these two.”
And Mr Kambwili said the UPND should not think that it is popular on the Copperbelt.
“Yesterday [Thursday], HH and his new-found friend GBM were here in Luanshya visiting markets. They failed to hold a public meeting. If they are popular, why did they fail to hold a public meeting?”
The minister said UPND was given a permit to hold public meetings in Mikomfwa and Roan but failed to do so because the leadership knew that they are not popular, hence the decision to go around the markets greeting people.
Mr Kambwili said after the 2016 general elections, Mr Hichilema will go into political retirement.
Meanwhile, Mr Kambwili said challenges the country is facing such as power load shedding are a regional problem.
He said many countries in the southern African region are experiencing such problems. He urged the opposition to stop telling people that the problems have been created by the PF government.
“In South Africa, there is load shedding, in Mozambique there is load shedding even in Malawi, so is it the PF that is ruling in these countries?” he wondered.
Mr Kambwili added that the opposition in Zambia are just envious of the PF’s success in development nation-wide.
Meanwhile, a civic leader in Luanshya has urged small-scale farmers in the district not to sell their maize to unscrupulous business people.
Baluba ward 23 councillor Gershom Mpundu said yesterday that some unscrupulous business people are buying maize from small-scale farmers at very cheap prices on the outskirts of Luanshya.
“I am happy that people in my area are no longer depending on the mine for their survival; they have taken a serious interest in farming and this year, we have recorded a bumper harvest but the problem is that there are some people who want to buy the maize at cheap prices from the small-scale farmers,” Mr Mpundu said
He said some peasant farmers are selling the maize at prices as low as K50 per 50 kilogramme bag when the Food Reserve Agency is buying the same quantity at K75.
Mr Mpundu urged the peasants to sell their grain to FRA and not briefcase traders.
The councillor also commended President Lungu for increasing the price of maize from K70 to K75, saying this was a good decision as it would benefit many peasant farmers whose lives depend on farming

Hello mister minister, sorry to sound rude to you sir,a public meeting is not always about holding a rally and blasting Dandy crazy’s songs, a permit was needed for them to visit the markets, markets are public places, remember without a permit POA would have been used on them, so in short they had public meetings in markets, next time you want to issue a a statement to the public try to consult from the UPND media team, to assist you on how to present yourself to the public, have a beautiful weekend. .
Davis Chama was right. Tongas will one day lead the state, but this will be a hundred years. Central Statistical Office data shows that for tongas to have sufficient numbers to provide the President, each man has a marry 3, frustrated there are 8 children in each one of them. This population will be to grow the voting booth of 18 years of age and if they reduce the voting age to 16, and BY 2066 there will be a Tonga president ….
Pwanya nini, RIP. Am feeling sorry for you mate, it’s so lonely out there right!
alot of us are not Tongas but we will vote for H H so your tribal speaches will get you nowhere.
it will b more dangerous to allow kambwili and his power failure (pf) to continue beyond 2016
Remember the your policeforce told HH to always get a permit when he wants to visit public places.
Ba Kashimba Chimbwili mukapapa saana imwe namufwilwa so kuya bebele nabanenu tukapela nga bafilwa bakaya,even if its regional crisis atleast give us a solution since u r de head bt its like u dnt hv a solution & a road since de founding father died de vision of PF died too,so prepare yoself on presidential level
Kashimba chimbwili
Chishimba kambwili you are a useless politician I even wonder na bantu baa ku votela nga batuntulu you are just an empty tin which makes irritating noise,when mmd was in power you use to attack mmd but mmd was much better than pf and you are saying pf is working ,working where may be to your ghost komboni luanshya.carefull
Well if that is true, then we have a very very big problem because its definately NOT you we would choose
You came here in kitwe to attend the funneral of youngson who use to be a defiler,rapist,thief,conman and you were praising him and yet you knew his character which means you where working with him and his character was just like yours we have heard that your trucks are among the trucks carrying copper slag at back mountain. Stop promoting lawlessness in societ come 2016 you are going and the law shall visit you.
your master late king cobra called you useless ministers ,is it not very dangerous that the country is in the hands of useless people compared to the ones you are calling dangerous mr minister. actually everyone now is regreting having voted for you. everything is going bad.
useless fati alubati….u feelin da presure…tiye nabo bafiiikala …..dollar 8pin bt yo nack kips gainin….
BUT U AND CHAMA WHO ARE INSULTING THE TONGAS. U WIL CRY HON. AFTER LEARNING THAT HH IS THE PRESIDENT IN 2016.
kuya bebele tata
The only dangerous and foolish thing zambians did was to elect the PF. I have raised my hand and said i did make that mistake in 2011 and am partly to blame. However, since then I have vowed never to vote for a clueless group of thugs such as the PF. Kambwili we know all the crooked deals you are doing and very soon once we form government the law shall visit you. Please just shut up
He is one of the useless ministers in pf govt followed by ?????
Shamenda
Some people who are in the current government had nothing but heavy debts. Now they are so wealthy and it is obvious where they got their riches. However, the duration of time is too short for the wealth accumulated. HH and GBM are already wealthy. I believe they will have time to work for the country than first think of their own pockets
Kuya bebele……
Ndeloleshafye
matole yenu bonse!
I love pf but some ministers make me sick eg CK who can even support Jerrabos. Pathetic!
Kiki kiki ka imposter iwe
Guys u talk but when it comes to elections u loose, why is it like that?
HH and GBM are giving us hope! Chimbwili has already been stealing through through mafia style deals. This guy had nothing but ever since he became minister he managed to accumulate so much wealth in the shortest time possible. He boasts of more than 40 properties in Luanshya town and other areas. Where did he get this wealth within 31/2 years?? He loves money too and has been eyeing the position of president for a very long time! He wanted to succeed mr Sata. He thinks he can fool all Zambians all the time!! Kuya bebele bwana !! Before you deplete the euro bond!!
To be honest guys i fill Nawakwi will come out second in 2016 followed by a certain opposition part.
pf is stupid with lungu on top useless. i would rather vote 4 a tonga to control expensv things not this RUBISH uncaring drunkard govt. wat mo
Thank you bwana minister, the thing is im in Bulawayo right now. Im 2 wks old here, but i’ve not experienced any power outage.By the way my simple geography tells me that zimbabwe draws power from kariba, which in the zambian context has very low water levels,so mr minister you guys have failed the zambian pipo just admit it you wont lose anything, it will help you to measure up. mr minister you seem to be out of touch with reality.
Kikikikikikikiki kwati like ulebosa fye iweeh chitumbo maliketi kapompa salad kambwili. Useless being kikikikikikikiki
it more dangerous to allow kambwili with his power failure (pf) govt to continue beyond 2016
APA NOMBA NI FORWARD FYE DAD…
One sims, it’s true, ni forward fye HH , chimbwili, walitumpa sana
@John kabengele,kambwili has just felt the heat, na BP naikwela, when GBM said UPND has now entered PF’s bedroom kambwili and group thot it was a joke, right now as we speak HH and GBM are in PF’s kitchen and they know what pf is cooking, including PF’s dietary requirements.
Nice one Hello Haters!
PF kuya bebele,UPND ni forward chabe,
Mr kambwili,do’nt try to justify yoself.who does’t kno u?yo record has a chain of mistakes.whch ministry under yo leadershp hav u not blundered?who do u think is dangerous btween u and pipo u ar accusing?
Ba hon. Fimbwili mwilatusebanya.
Iam from Siavonga to see the water levels. The water level is just like that of 1995. In that year there were no loadshedding.
But why this year of bakapemfu govt.? Power or Poor failures?
Go there and ask when the water levels were like as it is now. People along Lake Kariba will tell you that the water levels are still better than some past years.
Let chishimba stop giving lame excuses.
Kwena ichishinka chakweba ati ba pf nabafilwa. Natwesheko bambi.
Fwebalesapota ba pf nachituletela insoni sana.
Loadshedding, fuel prices and exchange rates have silenced many pf supporters.
Ba pf just hire Magande or Nawakwi for presidency. We can come back to support you.
Ati power failure, poor finnisher, pa mafi, fools’ party, paya fama.
Tumfweko we want some more from Fishimba Fikambwili. We are here to mop up his vomits kaili enchito shamalofa.
I hope Inonge will help mop up the vomits of that neckless pf creature.
Kwena mwandini twalifye abatuntulu naifwe nomba economy nokusabaila kwa ba pf nafitupenya.
People in power respond by action to correct the situation not by insults against the critics.
The pf should admit failure and seek help where necessary. Two wrongs can not make anything right.
The truth is that Gbm and Hh can run Zambia efficiently and make it corrupt free. These guys seem to be strong against corruption. That is why some corrupt crooks are worried. They are afraid of being caged.
Upnd just want to mop up the vomits and shits of …
Viva upndmopup .com
Ba Kambwili think b4 you tok, is Zambia safe in yo hands right now?The undisputed answer is no so why not let kachema to herd our country as he seems to be economically sound.So many problems lie b4 u to solve
I blame myself for having given Sata a vote but I blame myself more for having voted for our clueless President, H.E. Chagwa Lungu.Apa vote yandi ileya kuli kachema
My son you are forgiven. Just like you I made that mistake in 2011 but I learned from it before 2015. We welcome you to the upnd. We thank you
Balekeni balelanda…..Come 2016,we are moving forward.They know HH is taking the lead in 2016 that’s why their mouths are restless.But one thing they are not realising is that the more they talk,the more votes HH is earning..
We thank you and beg for your vote.
Mule loser imwe
God shall not allow satanist to rule Zambia.
God shall not allow satanists to rule Zambia.
Upnd people will sweat come 2016. Zambians have continued to reject this regional party.
