Kambwili blasts Seer 1

...respect Chitimukul­u

- By ADRIAN MWANZA

PEOPLE should not include Paramount Chief Chitimukul­u in cheap politics and drag him into tribal propaganda because he is above such, PF presidenti­al hopeful, Chishimba Kambwili has said.

Mr Kambwili has blasted vocal self-proclaimed UPND champion campaigner, Nigerian prophet Seer 1 not include the Bemba chief in his political scheming.

Mr Kambwili said it was wrong for the cleric to claim that Paramount Chief Chitimukul­u and other Bemba chiefs would launch a tribal campaign against the new dawn government.

Seer 1 claimed that the Paramount Chief would form a very serious alliance with PF and fight unbelievab­ly in order to oust the current regime.

But Mr Kambwili said it was unfair that the traditiona­l leader was being dragged in the mud with the wild accusation­s about tribalism.

“If Seer 1 is basing his argument on the recent meeting we had with the Chitimukul­u, then he is wrong because that consultati­on was meant to find solutions to the current polarisati­on of regions in the country,” he said.

Mr Kambwili said that he and other PF leaders undertook the consultati­ons in a bid to galvanise Zambians and not to engage in tribal politics as was being speculated.

He said the comments by the Nigerian were meant to isolate the Chitimukul­u who would be seen to be championin­g tribalism.

Mr Kambwili said Seer 1 was creating a wrong perception and causing confusion in the country by suggesting that the Bembas would unite to oust the current regime.

Meanwhile, Seer 1 also called on President Hakainde Hichilema to fire or retire all judges who seemed to be siding with the previous regime.
