Kambwili Compares Himself to Jesus – ‘I am ready to die for the people’

Chishimba Kambwili continues to court controversy, and yesterday announced we would continue to speak out on issues affecting Zambians whatever the cost.

Speaking after he was granted bail, he noted that it is his duty to protect Zambians from exploitation.  

“I want to them that you can arrest me as many times as possible, deny me bail but you are dealing with Umuntu uwakosa mukati nakunse (very strong person) and I am ready to die just like Jesus died for the people,” Dr Kambwili said.

He added, “it’s up to you Zambians to judge, me I was merely speaking for you that these jobs are you and not for foreigners.”

He said, “my jobs is to protect the Zambians from these thieves, this failed project, these Bakawalalas(thieves).”

Yesterday he was granted bail at K3,000 with two working sureities, following his arrest over ‘racially motivated’ comments to an Indian construction worker.

His trial will begin in Arpil.
