PF presidential aspirant Chishimba Kambwili claims “the meeting that was held at State House resolved” to have him arrested and locked up, now that he has been appointed into the PF central committee and thereby removing whatever eligibility hurdles that could have stood in his way to seek the former ruling party presidency.
Speaking with Daily Revelation, Kambwili claimed that he was aware of the plot to confine him to the courts, claiming “the agreement from the meeting was that let’s treat him the way he was treated under PF so that he can be confined to the courts in attempts to reduce his effectiveness on the political field.”
When queried on the same purported meeting he was talking about, Kambwili said it was not a purported meeting, but an actual meeting which took place at State House to devise ways to stopping him.
He said the plan was to arrest him like a common criminal, by treating him like a fugitive so that they could pounce on him on Saturday morning after surrounding his property and then keep him in detention the whole weekend.
“But in the meeting one suggested that he could not be arrested in this manner because a call out has not been served on him. That’s why you hear this hysteria on social media claiming that I have been elusive,” Kambwili said.
But Kambwili said he was wondering because police have arrested him on more than 14 different occasions and they mostly picked him up from his home, saying he was not worried of being arrested because he has been through that before.
But asked why he thought the police were after him, Kambwili said he was not aware and would hear about that the moment he appeared before them. But some months back, UPND cadres reported Kambwili to the police for allegedly issuing tribal remarks against the people of Southern Province.
Those in Kambwili’s circle also counter reported the UPND’s Buumba Malambo for allegedly urging people in Kafue to vote for Tonga councilors, Tonga mayor, Tonga member of parliament and Tonga president.
