Vice President, Guy Scott, says it is not acceptable in modern world to live without any mode of communication.

Dr Scott expressed concern that people in Zambezi West Constituency of Zambezi district have got no access to road and telephone communications and generally lack development.

Dr Scott says this is the reason the PF government wants to construct three communication towers to give the people of Zambezi West quick means of communication so that they can talk to their relatives and the rest of the country.

“You ca not live alone without telephones, roads and without books in this modern world,” Dr Scott said.

The Vice President said this in his conducted campaign trail to drum up support for PF Parliamentary candidate, Christabel Ngimbu, in Mufula and Liyovu areas of Zambezi West Constituency.

He observed that in the last 13 years, the area had lacked behind, adding that all that has been achieved now is what the PF government has done in just two years in power.

Dr Scott advised the people of Zambezi West not to be intimated by the threats and lies from the opposition but vote for PF candidate, Ms Ngimbu, if the area was to be fully developed.

He challenged the UPND Parliamentary candidate, Charles Kakoma, to point out what he has done in 13 years that he has been Member of Parliament (MP) for the area.

The Veep said Zambezi West needs somebody who is active and hard working as their MP to bring meaningful development to the area.

And aspiring Parliamentary candidate, Christabel Ngimbu, pledged to develop the area once voted as MP.

Ms Ngimbu, a former civil servant in government under Community Development, Mother and Child Health, claimed that she spearheaded the bringing of a hammer-mill and ox-carts to women clubs and advised people of Liyovu to support and work with her in developing the constituency.

She said development would not come to the area without having a representative in the National Assembly from the ruling party in government.

She is confident of scooping the seat following the massive infrastructural development the PF is doing country-wide and hoped Zambezi district would also benefit from the national cake in terms of allocation of resources.

PF Zambezi West Campaign Manager, Wylbur Simuusa, appealed the people of Mangango by voting for a PF candidate in the September 11 Parliamentary by-elections.

Mr Simuusa, who is also Agriculture Minister, said it is time for the Zambezi West electorates to vote differently by voting for PF candidate Christabel Ngimbu because the opposition candidates have allegedly failed to develop the area.

Mr Simuusa said is local people who grow up in the area and know the sufferings of the people hence she is a credible candidate who is going to have access to State House to lobby for tangible resources for development.

He said the PF is an embracing political party with top party and government positions having representation from various ethnic and tribal groups.

Meanwhile, Mr Simuusa said government has an ambitious programme to improve the fisheries and livestock sectors.

He said government would provide 120 per cent support for livestock and fisheries development in Zambezi West.

The minister promised that government would provide tractors in all corners of Zambezi West and transport rice to safe depots this year to avoid wastage of the grain on grounds of lack of transport.

Mr. Simuusa said government has a serious programme that ensures that all farmers that are productive are well looked after.

Local Government and Housing Minister, Emmanuel Chenda, disclosed that government would sink10,000 boreholes in Zambezi district and additional 2,000 km of feeder roads in order to open up the area and uplift the sufferings of the people in the area.

Mr Chenda lashed out at the opposition leaders who were championing that the PF is a tribal party for only the Bemba speaking people, saying the fact speaks for itself by the number of people from all regions appointed by President Michael Sata to serve in government.

    • @Nuby,
      Hihihihihi……. Am laughing out loud bansesela elokawa hihihihihihi! Am blaming the president as regards Kabimba’s mischeavousness…… Had he not be delegated to as acting President he wouldn’t have tasted the addicting sweetness of holding the highest job in the country. Well….. Lets all just applaud him the man is hyper ambitious he takes the cake!

    • Cindy, the direction we would have taken with the little fellow wouldn’t have been funny at all. As for applaud….yeah…the back of his head. LOL…warped and hypocritical as you are. Move on.

    • WHOAAAA!!! Hang on….the phone towers are built by private, corporate or otherwise development funds. This is not Government money and if the towers are from a private or even a part state entity, it’s not towers for development, it’s simply increasing network coverage which is also increasing profit.
      10,000 boreholes? Where? By when? That would be a borehole for each property in the whole of Western…let alone just Zambezi West…literally

      Oh yeah, and what does the VP have to say about recent events….oh yah…no network coverage. Oblivious…

    • YES, GUY SCOTT IS VERY HARD WORKING. VERY FEW ZAMBIANS CAN SURPASS GUY. I LOVE THE MAN. HE IS A TRUE ZAMBIA. MY ONLY WISH IS THAT BEFORE HE DIES (I AM NOT WISHING HIM DEATH. BUT, EVERYONE’S GONNA DIE), HE WRITES A BOOK OF SOME KIND. SAY, HIS LIFE’S EXPERIENCE, SOME KIND OF HISTORY BOOK.

      MAY GOD JEHOVAH LOOK AFTER GUY AND THE REST OF THE PF ENTOURAGE AND THE PEOPLE OF ZAMBEZI WEST.

    • @LoL I told you to get out of here. I will get physical.
      The lovely ladies above @Nubian & @Cindy are bringing so romatic comment, but you piece of LoLner attack them. You should have just probably used that energy to imagine the sweetie ladies and jerk yourself off!!
      You have to leave LT, this is my territory…

    • “PF Zambezi West Campaign Manager, Wylbur Simuusa, appealed the people of Mangango by voting for a PF candidate in the September 11 Parliamentary by-elections”.
      I don’t understand this statement above. Why Mangango in this again?
      Uuuuhhhm, abena Chenda, bali animated by the likishi. Aleiposa mudala.

  1. There he goes again – vote buying by government! Development by bye=by by development! We can’t be waiting for these elections to ‘see’ development, no!

    • Why don’t you take cows as well to go vote there after raw you don’t have to pay cows but only feed them as long they don’t grow big skeleton like me Chishimba Kambwili..

    • Those PF think the makishi chinyau is Kabimba, they are ready to punch a shiiit out of him. I am sure that Makishi was knocked down by Chenda.

  2. Why is the biatch, Ngimbu the Ax, prostrating herself on the floor? That’s not Luvale culture. Does she have to behave like a Bemba to qualify for PF membership?

    All these lies of instant development have been heard before. I hope the “uneducated voters” (per late Kabimba) of Zambezi will not buy them again.

    • That’s not culture or respect, that’s demeaning and just shows what a “yes” woman this candidate is. Embarrassing really. If it was a traditional event and this was dictated then fine. Correct me if I’m wrong please.

  3. is Zambia a patriarchal society? Is it only a woman’s duty to roll in the sand, before a chief, while the men only kneel. Gender Imbalance!

    • The “rolling in the sand” is Bemba culture. People from the other parts of Zambia kneel as a sign of respect. Mama Ngimbu is simply introducing a new culture to her ownpeople. I am not sure they will be very impressed.

  4. Guy Scott,you must be ashamed of yourself firstly.Your party nullified the elections of Kakoma because of providing a community phone to the school but in your usual useless lies you want to erect tower’s during the campaign period.
    Can PF also point at anything they have done for the people of Zambezi west for the three years you have been in government?

    of all the people in North western why Simusaa to be a campaign manager where everything will be interpreted for him.
    People of Zambezi west,Learn from Mufumbwe were they voted for Masumba on PF ticket,what development has guy Scott taken to Mufumbwe.
    Scott you miscalculated you move,people in Zambezi west are happy with Mize and they are all in Zambezi,i believe you were met by chickens only.
    Kakoma will come back to parliament.

  5. Pf is the hope of Zambian maturing democracy only positive messages, with such messages surely we are getting the seat. Can you imagine 13 yrs an MP and you have nothing to point to. Kakoma is this what UPND stand for….just violence…i sense another PF victory Powo

  6. This is what is appalling about Zambian politicians; neglected areas only have their attention when there’s a looming by-election. Does it mean bwana Scott could not have seen and addressed those issues before this period? These guys prey on the naivety of these poor people.. today they’re on their knees, tomorrow they’ll say kiss my butt. We need fresh brains

  7. Muzungu belela! Are people going to eat the communication towers? Imagine David Cameron going to Liverpool to tell the people that he will build a telephone mast? So degrading and all people can say is development. Why not build first and then tell the people what you have done for them. ati malabishi!!

  8. Scottie, where was your concern of people being without communication before the by election? YOU PF are always bribing for votes; you and a few others should go with Kabimba maybe then there will be some sanity in your violent, vote buying party.

  9. Where were you Guy Scott all along when the people of Zambezi needed the communication facility? The PF LIES are always propagated during the by-elections. The confusion that has characterised PF, and the uncertainty of Sata’s health is good reason for the people of Zambezi to ignore PF false promises.

  10. This lady established ZDT which has trained many youths in various skills.We ar voting for her.Ngimbu family ar. Progressives and they deserve support.Viva. Ngimbu viva Sata.

  11. Bunch of lyres. this Govt is full of crooks, luvales do not listen to Guy scot . he is lying, ask people in mpongwe coper-belt province , they will tell you , they cheated his loyal highness Mwinuna , they even sent people pretending to be erecting the towers. ammediately after elections , they disappeared they have never gone back. ask Hon Namulambe . they will do every thing possible to hoodwink you , that they care for you ,as soon as you vote for them they will never come back .bamakaka aba . uyo musungu wabufi . vote them out ,Even in mangango that that was the end they will not see Govt officials

  12. UPND: Zambezi west
    PF: Solwezi Central, Kasenengwa, Vubwi, Mkushi North
    MMD: Zero
    FOR THE SAKE OF DEVELOPMENT, VOTERS WILL DO WELL TO CHOOSE THE PF. BECAUSE THE OPPOSITION WILL DO NOTHING AND HAVE DONE NOTHING TO POINT AT. BUT DURING THE GENERAL ELECTIONS IT CAN MAKE SENSE TO VOTE FOR THE OPPOSITION BECAUSE THERE IS A CHANCE THAT YOU CAN CHANGE THE RULING PATY. THERE IS NO NEED TO BE PERSONAL AND NO NEED TO BE PARTISAN HERE. WE ARE LOOKING AT DEVELOPMENT. NW PROVINCE HAS BEEN NEGLECTED PARTLY BECAUSE OF THE VOTING PATTERN. TIME HAS SHOWN US THAT EVERY RULING PARTY GIVES A BIGGER PIECE OF THE NATIONAL CAKE TO THE REGIONS THAT GIVES IT OVERWHELMING SUPPORT. THE PARTY IN POWER HOLDS THE NATIONAL WALLET. SO LETS VOTE STRATEGICALLY. IT IS JUST THEORETICAL THAT THE GRZ MUST DEVELOP ALL…

    • It’s such weird think that needs to be changed you do notake development to only places where u won the elections

  13. Chisenga is right.No need to vote for opposition which has failed to develop the area for three terms.Gvt will listen to their own than cow dung.Zambezi pipo shud not be cheated again.PF hss the wallet.

  14. President Sata will transform zambezi wes within two terms.Ther is no benefit in voting for the opposition which is toothless.

  15. People who says scot is ceremonial must have their brains examined. The guy has a lot of power. He supports chikwanda versus kabimba , and kabimba goes. PF is sata and this white man

  16. Go Martha go. The die is cast. The wind is in your favor. Go Christabel Go! We the pipo of Zambezi West are fed up with Kakoma doing nothing. In the picture above, the ZANIS vehicle is stuck in the river. The wooden bridge which Kakoma is an expert at doing (at least he had it constructed only once though) is broken and gone. And so is Kakoma. He is gone. 3 terms of no development is too painful to us. Go Ngimbu Go! Those against u have never seen the suffering that we who hail from there go through. Even the capital, MIZE has no development by the opposition, can some one challenge this? Point at something done. The only new building in MIZE is the house built by Christabel at his village. The rest is sorry sight. Ngimbu its your time GO! We are fed up. The pipo of Zambezi West are for u.

  17. I note that several guys have been hired to flood the online news media to sing hopeless praises in support of PF – the party that thrives on LIES. Apparently, many Zambians in the rural areas have never been to UK to see the worst poverty laden white humans begging along Oxford Street in London, hence they are made to think the Muzungu in the form of Guy Scott is the Disciple of Jesus to redeem them.

  18. Someone says the government is not involved in building towers, you may be right.. But it looks like they are doing so through ZICTA. They launched this programme in Matanda, mansa.
