Fackson Shamenda Disappoints Kambwili, Dismisses 14 Day Ultimatum
Labour Minister Fackson Shamenda
Youth and Sport Minister Chishimba Kambwili says only the President has the power to quash his 14-days ultimatum he gave to Times of Zambia management to pay workers outstanding salary arrears.
Mr. Kambwili says he is disappointed with his Labour counterpart Fackson Shamenda for dismissing the 14-days ultimatum without consulting him.
He says Mr. Shamenda should respect his decision as a Cabinet Minister.
Mr. Kambwili has told QFM News in an interview that the Patriotic Front government has a mandate to ensure that workers are well treated without making their lives difficult.
Mr. Kambwili says it is unfortunate that Mr. Shamenda rushed to the media in dismissing his ultimatum instead of asking him why he gave the management such an ultimatum.
And Mr. Kambwili says he will not relent in speaking on behalf of the workers.
He says the Patriotic Front will not allow the ill-treatment of workers by employers.
He says workers deserve to get what is due to them.
Last week, Labour Minister Fackson Shamenda directed the Times of Zambia management to ignore the directive by Mr. Kambwili to pay workers their salary arrears stating that he did not understand the operations of the management.

You do not act in a position where the substantive person will definitely return and start making changes or pronouncements.
Kambwili is a loose canon with a nuclear war head.
“Kabimba must dismiss Kambwili while the President is away” kikikikikiki!

HOW COME ANY NORMAL ZAMBIA CITIZEN KNEW THAT KAMBWILIS ULTIMATUM WOULDN’T WORK AT THE TIME OF BEING PRONOUNCED JUST LIKE THE DISASTER STADIUM ?
SHAMENDA IS MINISTER OF LABOUR. WHO IS KAMBWILI ?

Yes, Who is Kambwili? What does he think he is? His previledge of having been in Roan at the time of Miners were suffering and he made money from scrap metal does not make him first choice Minister material. Our first cabinet has these limitations just because a minister must first be MP.

Learn to listen first,, Kambwili did not just move in from his ministry,, He was acting as labour minister during this short period,, this old fool you call Shamenda has failed to even hear us or visit us here at KCM in Chingola as we are not even getting our allowances from these Indians.
Kamwili is a man of action not just talking everyday and keeping beards looking like Mushala or Saimbwende.
