Kambwili's Brother Claims President Is Trying To Kill Him

The family of Roan PF Member of Parliament Chishimba Kambwili has spoken out publicly about the manner in which the PF government wanted to have the outspoken lawmarker evacuated to South Africa for specialist medical treatment.

In an interview, Mr Kambwili’s elder brother Pastor Mutale Kamwbwili charged that the plan by the state to evacuate his brother to South Africa was part of the plan to have him killed.

Pastor Mutale said the offer by the state was ill intentioned, full of evil and full of bad plans because they were the ones that allegedly worsened Mr Kambwili’s medical condition after a prolonged detention.

He charged that the Kambwili family turned down the offer because it was not genuine.

“The offer was ill intentioned, full of evil and full of bad plans because they were the ones that worsened Kambwili’s condition. They denied him police bond which is his constitutional right because the charges he is facing are bondable offences. As a Zambian, he has a consitutional right to be given a bond but they refused to give him and they detained him from morning in a very bad room, confined room, no ventilation, stinking, the room was very filthy from morning to 17 Hours,” he narrated.

“It took the lawyers, Mundia & Company to go to the High Court, there was an order from the Hight Court to take him to a Hopsital of his choice and we brought him here at CfB. Now they have seen that Zambians are condemining over the mistreatment of Chishimba.”

He added, “They deny him bond, after the condition worsens that is when they come back and say we are ecavuating him to South Africa, unless we are a foolish family we were going to accept. This is an artifical worsening of his condition, they know that he is diabetic, he is hypertensive, they knew his condition meant that he couldn’t be where they kept him. In short this worsening of his condition was artificial. Edgar Lungu just wants to kill Chishimba Kambwili, that is all.”

Pastor Mutale also criticised President Edgar Lungu accusing him of being ungrateful.

“Mind you, Edgar Lungu must come back his senses that he is President today because of Chishimba Kambwili. Had it not been for my brother to campaign for him, today Edgar Lungu was not going to be republican President, it was going to be HH,” he stressed.
