Why former Kibwezi Member of Parliament Richard Kalembe Ndile died a lonely man June 3rd 2021 at 10:49:42 GMT +0300
Former Kibwezi MP Richard Kalembe Ndile, who died last week, was a man who had no permanent friends or enemies. He made friends easily but also broke up as easily. Kalembe typified the common saying that there are no permanent friends in politics.
His on-and-off relationship with Ukambani political supremo Kalonzo Musyoka elicited admiration and anger in equal measure. In one political season, Kalembe, known for his sharp tongue, would go full blast into demolishing Kalonzo while mocking him over his development record. But when it suited him, “Mwana wa Squatter”, as Kalembe was popularly known, would crawl back and meekly latch onto Kalonzo’s coat tails for political survival.

The late outspoken politician, Kalembe Ndile, had challenged the proponents of the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) to set aside their individual ambitions for power in order to remain united ahead of the next general election.
In his last encounter with journalists at Intercounty Hotel in Athi River where he convened a press briefing eight days ago, Kalembe urged the country s top politicians to remain steadfast in uniting the country and maintain the rule of law.
He advised that constitutional amendment through BBI should be pursued in a transparent way, and in a manner that will not offend the country s supreme law.
