Kanyama MP demands apology from Kambwili

Kambwili

Patriotic Front  (PF) Kanyama Member of Parliament Elizabeth Phiri has threatened to take legal action against PF Roan Member of Parliament Chishimba Kambwili for defamation over his accusations that she is collecting money from minibus drivers in her constituency.

Phiri says Kambwili was adding her name to the many enemies that he has made.

She said the former Information Minister should publicly apologise or face legal actions over his statement that she was taking money from minibus drivers.

“It could be that Mr. Chishimba Kambwili has got something against me as an individual, I had high respect for him, I am a politician he is dragging me in the net where he wants to have so many enemies and start fighting with him. To clear my name if Mr. Kambwili doesn’t come in the open and apologize am dragging him to court because am a politician I need a clean name,” she said.

The Kanyama law maker has since given Kambwili a 3-day ultimatum to publically withdraw his defamatory statement or prove his allegations in court.

“Mr. Kambwili I urge you to apologize publicly in all the media institutions openly or I am ready to spend on a lawyer to vindicate myself to clear my name, and all your informers I will meet them in court, because I have been quite, I took you as a brother and I didn’t want to fight you now you have dragged me in the net, where you have to multiply your enemies.

Really if you were a genuine person you could have consulted me with what you were given I would have cleared myself,” said Phiri.
