Kambwili’s corruption rhetoric boring – CDP
……he is a finished, bitter and frustrated politician who should be ignored
“CHISHIMBA Kambwili’s unsubstantiated corruption rhetoric against Government officials has become boring and we urge Government to concentrate on delivering development and not waste energy responding to him,” the Citizen Democratic Party (CDP) has said.
Last week, former Information and Broadcasting Services minister Chishimba Kambwili reported President Edgar Lungu and the ruling Patriotic Front to the Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC) in Lusaka for alleged money laundering activities involving the presidential empowerment fund, among others.
Mr Kambwili claimed he had evidence that the PF activities concerning the elections and the lifestyles of those holding public office in *overnment was marred with activities of money laundering.
But CDP leader Robert Mwanza said the corruption songs by Mr Kambwili were now boring and described him as a finished, bitter and frustrated politician who should be ignored.
In an interview yesterday, Mr Mwanza said it was a shame that some politicians like Mr Kambwili, who, after falling out of favour, had resorted to raising false corruption allegations against the same *overnment and party they were part of.
+e advised *overnment not to fall in Mr Kambwili’s trap by responding to his claims but work hard to deliver the much needed development to Zambians.
“First and foremost, I think bwana Kambwili has become irrelevant to the political discourse of Zambia because if his corruption claims against *overnment which he was not long time ago part of were genuine, why has it taken him so long to report it and also only after he was fired"
“What we have noticed about Chishimba Kambwili is that he is a failed, bitter and frustrated politician whose unsubstantiated corruption allegations should be ignored. In fact, as CDP, we urge *overnment to concentrate on delivering development and not waste its energy responding to him,” Mr Mwanza said.
He said after failing to achieve their desired political aspirations, some politicians had now resorted to accusing the government of being corrupt which is not fair.
Zambians should not keep on listening to the same old boring songs on a daily basis from selfish politicians with hidden political agendas at the expense of development, he said
He also said the recent Lusaka mayoral by-election exposed Mr Kambwili’s unpopularity, adding that Zambians showed him that they were not interested in his politics of insults.
