Kambwili fired with immediate effect

President Edgar Lungu has fired Information and Broadcasting Services Minister Chishimba Kambwili with immediate effect.

President Lungu has since appointed Kalulushi Member of Parliament Kampamba Mulenga.

President Lungu has encouraged the new Minister of Information to serve diligently and with high levels of integrity as she takes up her appointment.

President Lungu is confident that the added attributes of youth and female gender will spur the Minister to work even harder to promote the cause of women and youth in decision making.

Ms Mulenga had previously served as Kalulushi District Commissioner before she entered active politics.

This is contained in a statement issued to Qtv News by Special Assistant to the President for Press and Public Relations Amos Chanda.

  3. LIFE DEMANDS ONE IN A WHILE TO MEET CHALLENGES IN ORDER TO MOVE STEADLY AND UNDERSTANDS REALITY OF LIFE. WHATEVER WE GO THROUGH , MAKES US WHO WE ARE AND CREATES ONE ‘S PERSONALITY. HOWEVER, LOVE AND PEACE ARE CORNER STONE OF OUR LIFE.

  12. What ever goes up must come down chishimba thought he was untouchable in pf now hi has fallen from hero to zero

  13. He lost a job as a minister not ….as an mp …so he has just dropped in ranks besides …he has reacted with maturity… I like this man he is hard working

    1. Just wait and see. That’s how they react at the beginning – maturity followed by stupidity!

  14. Take heart ba kambwili you knw were you come from with the part nd you knw all the history of the part edgar lungu will remember you coz istead of reducin meali meal he is ther firin pipo,mr president u ar givin chance to the opposition dont listen much to RB you can finish the part.

  15. its just da beginning Pipo,if lungu can fire kambili who r adaz nt t b out care full with how u work…u might b next

  16. THERE IS A TIME FOR EVERY .TIME TO STEAL FROM GOVERNMENT COFERS AND TIME TO BE FIRED.

  17. Thank u for joining us in a jobless society.don’t worry de govt want u to reduce yo weight bcse ur too fat.

  18. Play on……bola naikosa…….bambibalimuchibe……but

  19. Some pipo are not even fit to talk about corruption. Let’s wait and see

  20. Meanwhile in dundumwezi they still reahsng can samone tell them that things ar bad

  21. It happens,just accept it and never give up on PF…be loyal and careful with the adivice u wil get 4rm pipo. Am sure others r celebrating bcoz thy think PF z divided but suprise them,be a good friend 2 our president and always consider hm as our leader no matter wat people say.SO PROUD 2 B PF.

    1. So am i .am vry proud of our president nd i wil kip on supportin pf no mata wat

  22. Dr Kambwili ‘s grave mistake has been the pronouncing of threatening words to whoever does opposite to his belief to say”I WILL FIRE U!”This is the will of God if u pretend to be holy and exalt yourself,he will set u down.Its a very big lesson to everyone of us.A DS MAX saying comes to pass which says:IT IS EASIER TO BE PROMOTED THAN TO REMAIN PROMOTED.

  23. Ba chimbwili u r usd nd dumped lyk a t…..t….. Taulati chibusa.kkkkk

  24. bt zoona, ummmmmm regrets r fools, I hope de president ‘ll nt regret. I think in 2021, the pf shoudnt even waste money to contest, they should jst hand over the power to HH, without fail

  25. Mudaala chawama he was talking about the tonga , he was using sackerstic wrds.(chakuuma chibi)

  26. I am happy with what president edgar has done i think this is when he as just began to work and its a creary indication that he is equal to the task, and should not for get this couse it was writen that any one who is on top who came down while those people who are down they will came.on top, ok it happen good night

  27. When appointing ministers the president does not give reason so shall it be even when firing them.All appointed pipo live on the mercy of the appointee nd kambwili was not an exception.

  28. History: in 1965, The rock n roll band called the Beatles, once said they were more popular than Jesus Christ the son of God. What happened next, the band disbanded and some members died unknowingly. Their music is rarely heard. In 1990 a funny District Governor from Eastern province said KK was more kind than God because he pardon the coup plotters while God did not forgive the devil. What next KK lost the elections to FTJ. Recently some politician said that Even if Jesus Christ stood against anyone in southern province, he can easily loose. I end here …….

  29. KAMBWILI’S FIRING WELCOME BUT NOT CAUSE FOR JUBILATION!
    Whilst President Lungu should be commended for taking such a bold step for firing his Information and Broadcasting Minister, Chishimba Kambwili, it is however saddening that this is just two months after being appointed. There are more questions than answers and I wish to use this forum to air my view.

    Whilst the public has not been told the reasons for his firing, it is just common sense that corruption is one of them. The big question is was this corruption that has merited his firing committed in these two months? Let us assume that the answer is yes which will mean that this country has so much much money that a person can corruptly have access to so much. Suppose the answer is no, then it will expose so many things that are wrong in most political parties. If this corruption was committed before he was appointed, how come the office of the President and the ACC could not pick up this. It is common knowledge that the Office of the president have their officials scattered everywhere in the country. If Chishimba Kambwili has been corrupt for five years and yet was still voted back to parliament, it shows just how immoral our politics are in this country. How can you be singing and campaigning for a person that is corrupt? Do we know just how many more Ministers are corrupt and have not yet been found out?
    We need to kill the face of corruption in this country.
    MINISTERS DO NOT STEAL ALONE
    This is something that the President must be aware of. The accounting officers in affected Ministries must also face the chop. I would advise the President to be rotating Permanent Secretaries as this is where things start from.
    Well done your Excellency. We are watching to see more of your actions.
