Vice President Guy Scott has refuted a rumor circulating on social media that he has been relieved of his duties following a Cabinet meeting which President Michael Sata chaired at State House today.

The rumor circulating on social media is suggesting that his alleged dismissal as republican Vice President could be in connection with the recent remarks he made insinuating that Mulenga Sata, the son of the President, who is also Lusaka Mayor is excluded from vying for the position of republican President because of the parentage clause.

But Dr. Scott has told Qfm news in an exclusive telephone interview that as far as he is aware there is nothing of that nature that has happened.

Dr. Scott says if there was such a development there could have been a written statement from State House confirming his alleged dismissal.

He says this is why he thinks people circulating such rumor about his alleged dismissal may only be passing time.

Dr Scott, maybe you are blind as to what s happening around you. You have become a target of some of the people around you so as to pave way for someone else who can take over in an emergency. wake up; smell the coffee; If that clown Munkombwe can stand up and tell you off? think man, save face and step down.

Who else can be Vice-president if Scott resigned? Absolutely no one, anyone will attract coffin-carrying PF cadres.

You would do us all a favour if you stopped playing this tiresome ‘donchi kubeba’ game. People are simply fed up with your non-stop lies. Would you kindly please treat people with respect?

For as long as he has not received his letter of dismissal, Scott would want to make us believe he still has his job. Truth of the matter is, the letter is being prepared to be delivered if not already delivered. Politically boring and seemingly clueless Emmanuel Chenda from the Kabimba Cartel will be the new Vice-President. Sata’s way of trying to neutralise the group of which Scott is a member.
