Chisimba Kambwili’s Family Apologize To First Lady Esther Lungu

National Democratic Congress party leader Chishimba Kambwili’s family says First Lady Esther Lungu and Vice President Inonge Wina did not intervene in the release of Chanda Kambwili.

Chanda spent two nights in cells at Kabwata Police Station for allegedly assaulting a police officer.

The police could not present Chanda to court or release her on bond but later, her offence was reduced to conduct likely to cause the breach of peace.

Chanda paid a fine for admission of guilt and was released but it was reported that the First Lady and Vice President Wina intervened in the matter.

NDC national chairperson Father Richard Luonde, who spoke on behalf of the Kambwili family, has since apologised to the First lady and Vice President Wina for the misleading information that they helped to have Chanda released and any inconvenience the statement could have caused to them.

Father Luonde said it was Kambwili’s family lawyers and the Human Rights Commission (HRC) who helped in the release.

This follows the statement by the First Lady to ask Diamond Tv to apologies for a report that she was involved in the release of Chanda Kambwili
