Kambwili: I Can Never Go Back To PF

I CAN never go back to PF but I excuse Davies Mwila for his lies because bola naikosa, says Chishimba Kambwili. And police in Ndola have warned and cautioned Chishimba Kambwili for proposing violence.

Kambwili yesterday appeared for questioning which lasted about an hour and 45 minutes. Copperbelt police commissioner Charity Katanga later said Kambwili was charged with proposing violence.

According to Katanga, Kambwili proposed violence against the Chinese in Luanshya during a recent briefing. In a statement on Monday issued by PF deputy director for media Antonio Mwanza, PF secretary general Davies Mwila said Kambwili had been sending emissaries to President Edgar Lungu asking for forgiveness and reinstatement in the Patriotic Front.

Mwila claimed that Kambwili had been going to named priests and chiefs begging them to plead with President Lungu to take him back in the ruling party.

But Kambwili challenged Mwila to name the emissaries he was allegedly sending to President Lungu.

“Antonio Mwanza is not in my political class; he is too junior to waste time to talk to and by the way, Mwila does not think. If Mwila is saying I have been sending emissaries to go and ask President Lungu to forgive me, let him name the priest, let him name the chief I have ever sent,” Kambwili said.

He said the propaganda being propelled by Mwila and the PF was due to pressure from the newly formed party – NDC.

Kambwili said the game was tough for the ruling party.

“Where I come from, in Bemba they say Imbwa tashilwila mulembwe, shilwila ifupa (Dogs don’t fight for okra, they fight for a bone). Going to PF is as good as imbwa shilelwila umulembwe (dogs fighting for okra). I can never go to plead with PF but I can forgive Mwila because bola naikosa. They have seen the impact of NDC on the ground and now they are panicking like rats. Where I come from, they say ulelosha tabamucheba kukanwa so Mwila alelosha teti tumuchebe kukanwa iyo. I want to tell Mwila that I can never ever go and plead with President Lungu to bring me back into PF. And I want to appeal to all our NDC members countrywide that they should not buy this cheap story, as all they are trying to do is destabilise NDC by saying that Kambwili wants to go back to President Edgar Lungu,”

he said.

And National Democratic Congress secretary general Mwenya Musenge also said Kambwili had never sent any emissaries to try and seek reconciliation with President Lungu.

He said the Roan MP was “allergic to the corruption”, which was associated with the governing party, and his words on the matter should not be minced.

“The reports attributed to PF secretary general Davies Mwila at a public meeting in Kapiri Mposhi district are false and should be parried. At no point has Kambwili used the clergy nor the traditional leadership to try and dialogue with Mr. Lungu,” said Musenge.
