Vice President Guy Scott said the suffering of the people of Southern province was due to greediness of people who had helped themselves so much at the expense of development.
Dr. Scott noted that it is not only the people of Southern province who were suffering but all Zambians through out the country.
He said he has travelled all over the country and has seen how people were suffering not because of tribes but due to bad governance by the previous regime.
The Vice President says PF is not a party for the rich but a party for the poor people.
ZANIS reports that Dr. Scott was speaking in Magoye over the weekend where he was drumming up support for PF candidate in the Magoye parliamentary by-election Eugene Munyama.
Dr. Scott urged the people of Magoye to vote for the PF candidate saying change was very important adding that PF was here to stay.
He added that PF has only been in power for only less than 60 days and noted that it has already started working.
Dr. Scott said banks had already started reducing lending rates to encourage more borrowing for the people to start businesses.
He assured the people that PF allowed decentralization so that people in rural areas can take part in their affairs such as agriculture and other issues affecting them.
Speaking earlier Information, Broadcasting and Tourism Minister Given Lubinda said government had put more money in the budget to build roads and develop tourism.
He called on opposition UPND president Hakainde Hichilema not confuse the country by forming a pact with MMD.
And Mines Minister Wilbur Simuusa urged people in the area not waste time by voting for UPND.
Dr. Scott also paid a courtesy call on Chief Hanjalika at his palace were the Chief appealed for the reinstatement of Former ZANIS District Information Officer Henry Chibulu.
Viva PF Viva Scott, in another 2/3 years, Zambia will start winning even football…
Accolades will follow only when we see the bearing of fruits. For now donchi kutweba!
BUT Where is SATA?
Talk about pf’s plans not about what the previous regime did not do. How about the issue of swine fever and the pigs that were slaughtered at his farm when he belonged to the previous regime.
Servant leadership is needed our country. To dissolve greediness require tough measures and these tough measures need leadership. It is bitter medicine, but medicine we have to take. It is clear that we could become a prosperous country in 50 years time. But we need resolve at leadership level. This is the crossroads.
His Honour The VP is just politicking! Change for the sake of change is plain right suicidal. Some people are already regretting the change of government. So campaigning on the premise of change is not on! Tell the electorates what benefit they will get by voting you into power. Another thing, stop telling lies by saying PF is here to stay. Just like MMD, and UNIP you too will be kicked out at some point. Maybe in 2016. Stop being arrogant and get to work. Sha!!!!
#4,spot on. I wonder why the are still talking about the past. We want to see the fruits they pormised us in 90 days! what a goverment!
These PFools are just wasting their time. Just go to Northern and cheat as usual …We dont accept *****s in Southern Province.
bafikala koma mwatemwa ukunyenga our bemba ladies stupid.

Nonsense . . only fools can cheat themselves that PF is winning in the heart of Tongaland
Say what?
each time i see this guy,i am reminded of the pig scandal as agric minister in the previous regime. he equally should be blamed for his poor perfomance that time.
Grow up PF …. every sentence has MMD and HH.
All graders from the RRU in Lusaka Province have been ordered to go to Chongwe to work on the roads. The more things change, the more they remain the same.
#7 ANTISATA, 90% of zambian people dont matter whether you like PF or not from southen province coz we know you TONGAS. Good that i changed my wifes atitude of that tongas into bembas thinking.Thats the reason HH cant be a president instead i would go for elias chipimo.People, dont forget that even MMD used to attack PF during its time.let pf also attact mmd.
sorry, its #10 ANTISATA and not #7 VOLTRON (defender of universe) meant.
…and the chief appealed for reinstatement of former ZANIS District Information Officer Henry Chibulu…..Here we go again…!
Bwana Guy Scott, must not hold on to his racial apartheid-style perception that Africans are too dull to be endowed with short memories. The whole world knows that Guy Scott exhibited the most extreme form of GREEDINESS when, as Minister in Chiluba’s regime,he massacred (slaughtered) hundreds of healthy pigs at his farm in order to get quick free money from the Govt coffers. Let Guy Scott provide a full account of his actions in that fateful era of Chiluba’s regime. The previous MMD Govt laid a firm foundation upon which the PF Govt must sustain development programmes. The era of whitch-hunting cannot be accepted in the current electronic age when information flows so fast to resonate to all parts of the world. We want credible programmes, not childish accusaations over sour sweets.
Muzungu akamba chani?Ba Guy just campaign on what you have so far achieved in 53 days in power.This will motivate people to vote for you,telling people that we are poor because of MMD is not true.Zambia has been poor from time immemorial because of poverty mentality where you want even to make budgets that are pro-poor.More poverty will still be registerd in your government because you want to align yourself with poverty.Just empower the rich and see how poverty will disappear.The Farmers Support Programme (FSP) has been a drain on government resources because of supporting the poor.
Ba LT naimwe, make sure you check your English dictionary, ‘greediness’ does not exist, it’s rather ‘greed’ if you want to render it as a noun. Thank you!
Zambia is composed of ‘one people’ – zambian!!!! The tribal tags will not build zambia. What we desperately need is unity of purpose to make our country a haven of peace even during electioneering.
Twapapata we need this unity, every peace loving zambian should sacrifice for it.God bless zambia
Yes the previous regime was greedy but people are still waiting for Justice. No one wants to invest in a country that steals money from people who worked hard their whole lives to develop it. People are still suffering and instead of righting the wrongs people talk about moving on when no one is moving on until justice is served and I believe through the power of God, one way or another it will be. No one knows the extent of the next persons suffering so until you’ve walked in those shoes best keep opinions to yourselves. Justice is the only language some of understand and if we remain quiet other people and their children will suffer too and those who remain silent or try and shhhh are just as guilty.
@ Klo …in german language Klo means toilet.
on a serious note, most, if not all african regimes are selfish.
