ECL HAS BIGGER HEART THAN HH—KBF
15.10.24 Millenium TV
The sixth President of Zambia Edgar Lungu has a ´big and forgiving heart´ that gives him the ability to act beyond vengeance compared to successor Hakainde Hichilema says Kelvin Bwalya aka KBF in an explosive ´no holds barred´ interview on Millenium TV in Lusaka.
The prominent Lusaka lawyer and president of Zambia Must Prosper (ZMP) said he has undisputed evidence based on the demeanour of the two leaders, number six, and number seven of Zambia.
KBF gave an example of three Zambian politicians that fell out of favour with Lungu, crossed the line but later returned to the ruling party where President Lungu embraced them without qualms.
These are Geofrey Bwalya Mwamba or GBM, Chishimba Kambwili and Miles Sampa.
“My older brother ba GBM and my younger brother Chishimba Kambwili including Miles Sampa said a lot of hurtful and unpalatable things against President Lungu when they quit the PF,” said KBF.
He said, “when they found that the grass wasn’t greener on the other side and decided to return to the ruling party Dr Lungu embraced them unconditionally.”
KBF said forgiveness, a huge trait or characteristic in a leader distinguishes positively, president Lungu compared to seventh President Hakainde Hichilema who has “umufimbilwa” or cruel and “unforgiving” heart.
“If you are enemies with HH who is my friend he will punish you to the end he will do anything to end you he keeps a list of enemies he is unforgiving ´alakwata ulupato´ (he has a cruel heart),” said KBF in the live interview gone viral.
The charismatic lawyer recalled personally, a meeting he attended with late President Rupiah Banda and two foreign heads of states to persuade Edgar Lungu to hand over power in 2021 and protect Edgar Lungu and family from persecution.
“HH when we got to Community House told me after the meeting that they want me to leave Edgar Lungu alone I have reluctantly agreed but I will go for all the others and that is what he is doing right now with glee,” said KBF.
The tactical lawyer and strategist known for winning some of the most complicated cases in Zambia said he felt his skin move when he noticed the taste for vengeance in Mr Hichilema.
“HH kept telling me about how angry he was at having been arrested 15 times under Edgar Lungu ´I was arrested 15 times mwana´ he kept saying and I said ´you can’t move on if you can’t forgive and forget,” said KBF.
KBF warned that the arrest of GBM, Chitotela, Chilangwa and the targeting of Edgar Lungu´s family is but the beginning of President Hichilema´s trail of revenge, Zambians must brace for more.
“He has a list its just Zambians forget fast, but he used to read a list of people he would target for punishment once he wins power HH won power to revenge for his 15 arrests and not for Zambians wellbeing,” said KBF.
He added that, “if it was up to HH, all of us opposition leaders, ZMP, PF and everyone must be in cages before the next elections so that he stands alone but we won’t let that happen and neither will Zambians.”
KBF reaffirmed his desire to join hands with President Lungu, civil society, and other opposition leaders to stop Mr Hichilema from completely diminishing the democracy of Zambia and avoid a dictatorship in the making.
The full interview is available on the Millenium TV Facebook page and YouTube channel as KBF declares that he is ready for the consequences of speaking truth to power.
KBF urged Zambians to always recall as the 2026 polls approach that Edgar Lungu has a bigger heart for the people compared to President Hichilema who is vengeful by birth and nature.
He added that President Hichilema has read the writing on the signs on the wall that he cannot win a 2026 re election unless he jails all opponents, “he can hear the horses of opposition victory galloping he is scared stiff.”
