ZAMBIA High Commission in India is dismayed by the unwarranted verbal attack by Roan Member of Parliament Chishimba Kambwili directed at a person believed to be of Indian origin working on the expansion of roads in Zambia.
Zambia’s High Commissioner to India JUDITH KAPIJIMPANGA says Mr. KAMBWILI understands the complaints procedure as former Minister of Labour and that his words are unwarranted in the eyes of the international community having served as Minister of Foreign Affairs too.
Mrs. KAPIJIMPANGA says Mr. KAMBWILI should have taken time to investigate whether the person operating the road compactor was not born and raised in Zambia.
She says Mr. KAMBWILI is a wrong person to attack any nationality working in Zambia because his own spouse works in the United Kingdom, adding that such outbursts threaten the lives of Zambians working abroad in case others retaliate.
Mrs. KAPIJIMPANGA says pertinent issues that are meant to benefit the masses such as the decongestion of LUSAKA Roads Project jointly funded by India and Zambia cannot be resolved in an emotional way.
A video has gone viral on social media where the NDC consultant is seen verbally abusing an unidentified man believed to be of Indian origin after he was found driving a road compactor.
