The following press release was circulated by the Copperbelt Youth Chairperson of the Alliance for Better Zambia (ABZ).
OCTOBER 15, 2014.
PRESIDENT SATA SHOULD CAGE KAMBWILI
President Michael Chilufya Sata should tame his Youth National Chairperson Chishimba Kambwili before it is too late.
The manner in which this PF youth leader who is also Youth and Sports Minister threatened University of Zambia students who have been trying to take over the Commonwealth Youth Centre within University of Zambia premises speaks volumes about his negative energy and potential to provoke public outrage. Moreover, the language he used as captured by Radio Phoenix yesterday was uncivilized and has no place in a democracy such as ours in Zambia.
Already many Zambians feel cheated and dejected for many reasons including the PF promise for free education and more money in people’s pockets. Many people today can’t afford to buy a bag of mealie meal let alone other important basic needs. The life of many Zambians today is that of frustration and endemic disappointment.
In this dire situation government requires wise and high caliber ministers that should revive the almost withered spirit of our people and raise their hope for a better tomorrow. Government officials should display a spirit of understanding and help the public turn their anger and frustration into positive energy to confront our development challenges together.
Against this backdrop, we think that the insensitivity and dictatorial behavior of Mr Chishimba Kambwili is a danger to social harmony in our country. If the behaviour of Mr Kambwili is acceptable in PF let them continue to tolerate him but they should know that as minister his behaviour affects the general public who look up to PF to provide credible leadership at national level.
Therefore, we urge President Sata to cage Mr Kambwili for the good of his party and to spare Zambians the effects of Mr Kambwili’s bad leadership.
