Kambwili arrested for abusing a foreigner, investigated for breach of peace at airport
By Staff Reporter
Police in Lusaka have arrested and detained Roan Member of Paliament Chishimba Kambwili and charged him with expression of hatred, redicule or showing contempt for persons because of race, tribe, place of origin, or colour contrary to the penal code.
Police spokesperson Esther Katongo confirmed the arrest and said the Roan member of parliament has been remanded in custody whilst his lawyer Christopher Mundia has said his client will appear at the Lusaka magistrate court tomorrow.
In a social media post that went viral last week, Kabwili was seen insulting a person of indian origin he found at a road construction site and told him to go back to his country.
Barely a week before Kambwili harassed an indian national the police are now pursuing him for breach of security at the Kenneth Kaunda international airport when he allegedly forced himself in a restricted area of the airport when he went to receive a relative.
Katongo confirmed that an inquiry file has been opened to invistigate the matter and that Kambwili would soon be summoned once investigations were concluded.
In another video that has gone viral Kambwili is seen forcing himself into the restricted area, when security personnel who were manning the entrance, the Roan Memeber of parliament is seen brushing him aside.
