I am critically sick, my BP and diabetes are not stabilising, says Chishimba Kambwili.
Speaking with Daily Revelation, Kambwili who was initially observed for hypertension at Roan Hospital in Luanshya after he was released from Milima prions in Kasama on bail pending appeal, said he [pp-logged-users] has not recovered even after being observed at the hospital.
“Nshilibwino my brother, nshilibwino (I am not well my brother. I am not well),” Kambwili, who was breathing heavily, spoke in a low tone voice. “My BP and diabetes is not stabilising. It is still critically high. Nshilibwino my brother (I am not well).”
But asked if he had gone to the hospital, Kambwili said he was home but the medicine that was administered to him had failed to stabilise the illness, saying he would seek an appointment with his cardiologist in the hopes that his situation will be stabilised.
But Kambwili said he would not want to name the medical specialists as he would not want to jeopardise them in any way given the situation he was in. He said he had two cardiologists who usually attend to him, one based in Zambia and the other in South Africa.
However, Kambwili is prohibited from travelling out of the country as one of the bail conditions demanded that he surrender his passport.
He said some pastors had visited him yesterday at his residence to pray with him and offer him comfort.
Kambwili spent four days in Milima prison after he was convicted for hate speech against the people of Southern Province.
Kasama Magistrate Samson Mumba sentenced Kambwili to five months imprisonment after he was found guilty of practicising hate speech.[/pp-logged-users]
