Kambwili hallucinat­ing - Musenge

- By ROGERS KALERO

ZAMBIANS should not take Chishimba Kambwili seriously because he is always hallucinat­ing to seek sympathy and attention of the people, National Democratic Congress (NDC) secretary general Mwenya Musenge has said.

Mr Musenge said in an interview in Kitwe yesterday Zambians should not take Mr Kambwili seriously because he was always hallucinat­ing, telling lies, making malicious and wild allegation­s which he was failing to prove whenever challenged. He was reacting to Mr Kambwili’s remarks that the Patriotic Front (PF) government was planning to deregister NDC while at the same time register Mr Musenge’s party to be called Zambia Our Own Motherland (ZOOM). Mr Kambwili said Mr Musenge had allegedly been holding secret meetings with Minister of Home Affairs Stephen Kampyongo and the office of the Chief Registrar of Societies to have the NDC deregister­ed. But Mr Musenge rubbished Mr Kambwili’s allegation­s saying the former Roan Member of Parliament was seeking the attention of the people by maligning others and making unsubstant­iated allegation­s. He said registerin­g a political party was a tedious process which could not be done overnight. “The office of the Registrar of Societies is a public office which any person has access to. So any one can go and check if at all anybody has made efforts to register ZOOM. The problem with Mr Kambwili is that he is always hallucinat­ing. “Yes, he is always telling lies, making malicious and wild allegation­s which he is failing to prove whenever challenged to prove them. Most of the allegation­s Mr Kambwili has made, he has failed to substantia­te them. What kind of a leader is he? He is always waffling”, Mr Musenge said. Mr Kambwili had never been a member of the NDC or its president, but was merely hired to be a consultant before his contract was terminated. “We may have issues against President Lungu, but we take serious exception to the nasty language which Mr Kambwili has been using against President Lungu. As NDC, we don’t support such kind of behaviour. “It is shameful and embarrassi­ng to the party. Mr Kambwili has imposed himself on the party and has ended up causing a lot of confusion. We need time to resolve the confusion he has caused by trying to hijack the party,’’ Mr Musenge said. He accused Mr Kambwili of dragging the NDC into the failed alliance with the United Party for National Developmen­t.
