Biography
Prior to entering politics, Mwaimba was a businessman. He contested the Kapiri Mposhi seat as the National Lima Party candidate in the 1996 general elections, but finished in third place.

Following the elections he was appointed Deputy Minister of Information and Broadcasting Services. However, he was sacked by President Levy Mwanawasa in 2003 after being accused of fraud.
