Vice President, Guy Scott, says any member of the Patriotic Front (PF) who rises against President Sata is bound to fail politically.
Speaking when he addressed PF members at Protea Hotel in Chipata this morning, Dr Scott said President Sata is a tested politician who cannot be manipulated by newcomers on the political scene.
He said the President will not be manipulated by people who want to ride on his popularity to advance their personal ambitions.
“If you think you can fight Michael Sata, you are headed for the political grave yard. There are many people who thought they could fight Michael Sata and they are now in the political grave yard,” he said.
Dr Scott urged PF members in Eastern province to be disciplined and work for the common good of the party.
He told the cadres to desist from engaging in vices such as illegal land allocation and obtaining money from business houses using the party’s name.
The Vice President said the PF in Eastern province must work towards reforming and establishing a strong presence so that it can perform well in the pending by-elections in the region.
“Eastern Province must get the party reformed. We don’t want to buy seats; we want to pay for seats with a message to the people,” he said.
And speaking at the same occasion, Patriotic Front Member of the Central Committee, Jean Kapata, said the indiscipline and disunity in the PF in Eastern province is disadvantaging the ruling party.
Ms Kapata said the PF will not perform well in the upcoming Kasenengwa by-election if the party continues being disunited.
Ms Kapata said the disunity and indiscipline cost the PF the Mkaika and Chipata Central Constituencies.
She said it will be regrettable if the party fails to scoop the Kasenengwa seat in the February 25 by-election.
And Ms Kapata, who is also Community Development, Mother and Child Deputy Minister, said the PF cannot be shaken by the resignation of anyone from the party.
She also said President Michael Sata is not short of people who can fill up vacancies caused by resignations as evidenced by the prompt replacement of former Defence Minister, Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba, from his Cabinet position.
And PF Province Chairperson, Lameck Mangani, said the party is very strong in the province but only needs to sort out some in-house administrative issues.
Mr Mangani said the Provincial Committee will do everything to ensure that it delivers the Kasenengwa seat to the PF.
He said the PF will also scoop the Vubwi and Malambo seats but reiterated the need for the party members to be united.
ZANIS
We have confidence in the president
The vice president is fine too
The problem, is nothing and nothing
Thanks
you are now a typical cadre,mus*la obe
wabwela iwe colokombwa chimfwembe. where were you when your president opened a facebook page? visit his page and shower him with those words. scott to me does not make any sense anymore. everything he utters is based on ‘muzungu anikonde’ principle. no constructive pronouncements other than politicking. yaaabaaa we have a lot of 1diots pazed
Terrible Picture zoona aba kalamba efyo bale fukamina uyu Musungu uwa bufi..
Yes Dr. Scott, Chumbumushololwa can’t be manipulated by people who want to ride on his “popularity” and these are people like YOU! You’re manipulating this man into believing that he’s popular and people like what he’s doing, yet the converse is true. The good news nonetheless is that you’re going down together, just as you came.
Mrs. Charlotte Scott, what a wonderful down-to-earth woman.
Not some other people’s wife who like operating on mothers in public.
I pity our mothers in this picture – feeling good because BAONA A ZUNGU…sad.
I THOUGHT DR SCOTT SHOULD HELP THE SITUATION BY TELLING THE PRESIDENT THAT VESTING ALL POWER AND ALL AUTHORITY IN ONE PERSON IS VERY DANGEROUS. EVEN IF SUCH A PERSON IS VERY INFLUENCIAL. PARTIES SHOULD BUILD THEIR OPERATIONS ON SYSTEMS. NOT ON AN INDIVIDUAL. BECAUSE ONCE THAT PERSON DIES, THE PARTY DIES WITH HIM. SATA IS LIKE THE VISIBLE INCARNATION OF PF. HE IS ALMOST WORSHIPED LIKE AN INFALIBLE GOD. ANYONE IN PF CAN MISBEHAVE AND SAYING THAT IT IS ONLY THE PRESIDENT WHO CAN FIRE THEM AND NONE OTHER.
Chipata, NOT YET UHURU!
Sagunda still rule in Chipata.
HH please go and set poor Ngonis free!
Foolish Mushota.
I think easterners are being used by the PF! They should avoid this impending trap
Muzungu wa njala. He slaughtered all his pigs, he ate the PIGS and asked for refund from govt.
Yes !!! King Cobra is the king !!!!
Ah! You have been sleeping fellow citizen? Up to now u don’t know he has changed from king cobra to big chameleon? changing colours everytime
What popularity?
Allergic to corruption when actually ADDICTED to corruption and allergic to criticism… Hoodwinking the masses!
Big Hoodwinking project this is turning out..
book licking is just rubbish. That’s why we cannot talk issues here
Good evening
In the light of the innumerable challenges the party has been and is still facing (political infightings, antagonism with traditional leaders, constitution etc.) one might be led to believe that the president has immensely lost popularity.
However, politics is all about the way in which a leader is able to cope with adverse situations. It is the ability to think and act rationally, to hold the party together despite disrupting factors within and without that makes him “tested and approved” by the electorate.
Apart from that, if there is hard evidence on the ground that party policies are working and the country is moving positively towards development, a politician can safely say he has delivered his mandate – and deserves re-election.
As the message is directed at his own party it sounds like a new way of ‘whipping’ up support by spanking themselves for ‘unsactioned’ ambition…
Expired politicians!
@mushota- say “I” not “we”. Even though you have a multiple personality your body still has one vote ‘chabe’!
Aleisa Aleisa, tina we sakala iwe!
HAVING A LION AS LION A SECOND BOSS LOOKING AFTER GOATS IS SAME LIKE GUY IN ZED

Funny!!!!!!!!!!
Hahaha,we have our very own “comical Ali” in the person of Dr Scott swimming in the Egyptian river called denial.Even despotic tyrants like Kim Jong Un also believe they are popular too.
We have an inflexible president and we are proud of it.
