Let PF complete mandate, Scott tells Samfya voters

Zambians should allow the Patriotic Front (PF) to complete its five-year mandate, acting President Guy Scott has said.

“Judge us after five years, give us a chance to finish the five-year mandate you gave us so that we can finish the many projects we have started,” Dr Scott said here yesterday when he commissioned the first ever government hospital in Samfya district.

He said construction of the Samfya District Hospital was started in 2009 by the MMD government but the project was abandoned. The PF government has completed the construction.

“We are an action-oriented government. We believe in less talk but doing more work. In Luapula Province, four district hospitals and 64 health posts are under construction,” Dr Scott said.

He said this is why the Government is appealing to the Zambians to give the PF a chance to finish the term.

“We will be going to the polls next week to vote for a President. I am appealing to the Zambian people to vote for PF candidate Edgar Lungu so that he can finish the works started by late President Sata,” Dr Scott said.

The Acting President, accompanied by Deputy Minister of Health Chitalu Chilufya, is happy that the people of Samfya will be receiving quality health care and there will be no need to travel to Mansa for the service.
Dr Scott, however, cautioned health workers against having a bad attitude towards patients.

“Health workers should respect patients because it is the bottom line in health care,” Dr Scott said.

Luapula Province Minister Benson Kapaya said the people of Samfya have been travelling 80kms to Mansa to access healthcare services and that the district has only clinic.

Brigadier General Kapaya said is happy that the new hospital, with four wards, will offer antenatal, under-five, male circumcision and HIV services.

  1. atase aba. not so long ago when sata was still alive you were boasting, you and your winter that pf would rule until jesus’s second coming,
    remember. So what has changed now for you to start pleading to be allowed to finish just one term? nonsense!!

    • This is why you and your HH are in for another poor landing this time around a humiliating one FYI. What Dr. Scott is doing is evoking humility at best which has turned out to be one of the hottest selling assets of the EL’s candidacy unfortunately missing in HH.

    • No chakolwa in state house, he will just embarrass us on the international stage. He can’t even articulate himself

      Viva HH

    • EL is headed for a massive victory. The developmental projects speak for themseleves. In just three years of PF has embarked on an unprecedented number of investments in infrastructure that will stand the test of time. Roads, bridges, food storage, schools, Universities, health facilities, airports, etc. The next two years EL needs to continue these projects and sort out weakness in the civil service by replacing incompetent Directors and PS in all key Ministries, the constitution, social protection and agriculture sector.

    • You have no manners,not even bad ones.The MMD abandoned this project but the PF has finished it .So what is wrong when Scott asks for voters to vote for the PF candidate?HH has no heart for Zambia and it will be the biggest mistake Zambians will make if they vote for HH because HH will concentrate his efforts in developing southern province.He is promising loans almost to every body and free education.These are empty promises! Where he going to get the money for free education and give everyone loans?HH is a dangerous,selfish,cantankerous dictator who is only interested in himself. The infrastructure development projects will come to an end and Zambia will be a laughing stock if HH becomes president.Open your eyes, analyse the situation and think with your brain not your lips!!

    • The PF will finish their term, but with a president from the opposition (HH).
      The 2015 budget is PF designed. 2016 is election year and not much can be done in except to consolidate the little. But little differences, can go a long way.

  2. TRULY SPOKEN. IT IS LIKE TELLING A CHILD WHO IS IN GRADE 10 ATI “U HAVE FAILED YOUR FINAL EXAMS”– IT’S UNTIMELY. HE STILL NEEDS 2 MORE YEARS TO PREPARE AND THEN SIT FOR THE FINAL EXAMS. UNLESS THE PARENTS/SPONSORS ARE SO DESPERATE-AS IN THIS CASE.

  3. UPND will do a much better job ,in a transparent and coordinated manner.
    This chikule kule has left the country in billions of debt.
    The majority of contracts have been given to the corrupt Chinese and relatives to those close to state house.
    UNIP built the initial structures of this country and they never boasted because they were duty bound as the government of the day.
    So Scott ,Stop boasting.

  4. Finish the mandate of stealing? NoNOnONoNO, Scott, we know you are a good man, time is up for the Panga family. We want PF to account for the money they put in their pockets, farmers have suffered enough, students have suffered enough, all jobs occupied by one Xata family, NoNoNoNOno. Scott you have nothing to lose, HH will protect you better than Chagwa for doing the right thing. Chagwa will try to frustrate you ,so just take it easy, tour the country, that is a privilege and hand the instrument to HH next week, we love you and appreciate the 90 days is almost up, we know it was not easy for you dealing with these thugs. Vote HH

  5. That is why the late MCS called this man “a white man without brains”. Any average level thinking individual would know better than to a have a clueless drunkard like Lungu run a nation. To make matters worse, this man stole from a client as lawyer, how can you ask us Zambians trust him with national wealth? I think it’s time you get on plane back to Scotland. You have caused a lot damaged to our country.

    • He keeps pleading for PF to finish the projects, let him pronounce the word Edgar Lungu….. deep down he knows the feeling of the people that is why he avoids pronouncing Edgars name ! This name is like quinine in his mouth. Indirectly he is decampaigning EL, all those who are campaigning in the name of PF like Simuusa, Sichinga, Sampa and Guy are cowards. Instead of calling a spade a spade, they are busy issuing sublimal messages, why not jump out of the boat if you can pronounce EL’s name! Viva HH.

  6. U dont even hav to campaign sir ur works hav spoken louder than u,E.L a focused,hardworkin,humble and very handsome man will lead the nation very well

    • Let the truth be told.This is the Cahnce for all Zambians to Know what PF have stolen or else will never Know how much Sata stole and left for Kaseba,Bashi nono,Mulenga sata,Nsanda and other PF minions.Its is believed that out of the 4.5 billion dollrs borrowed from Euro bonds a quarter was wired into Family accounts in Turkey and Singapore.

  7. Guy Scott is right.we must all support PF’s good projects by voting for Edgar Lungu!!PF has to finish its full 5yrs term.am equally appealing to all well meaning voters never to vote for the opposition.we’ve to maintain political stability by keeping PF in power.all these opposition making noise just want jobs and do not love mother zambia bcoz if they loved it,they could’ve allowed PF to finish its term and take part in elections in 2016!!VOTE FOR PF PLEASE ZAMBIANS BCOZ WE’RE SEEING ITS GOOD WORKS!!LATE SATA LEFT A SOLID FOUNDATION!!VIVA EDGAR LUNGU!!

    • Its the constitution that demands that there are elections. Had the constitution been passed, costly by-elections would be avoided, so who do you blame opposition or ruling party????

    • PF are liars.In the advert song they say twalikula Na ma stadiums,Which Stadium did they build ,I thought Mwanawasa is the one who built those stadiums.They want to include Universities like Nkrumah,Chalimbana,Mukuba and Mulakupikwa as PF projects.Mulakwatako insoni bane.Most of the schools and Hospitals were un finished projects funded by MMD mwanawasa new deal which Rupiah Banda was still building.Mwila tu bepa bangwele,ba kambwili.Yes you have paved our Roads ,but at what price.You have subjected our future generations to perpetual poverty due to reckless borrowing.HH should come in quickly to do some risk management works to avert future economic disasters.

  8. Give us a chance to finish!! What?? But why he hesitating to campaign for Lungu by then? What has changed Changwa today?? Is it not after threatening you! Whites stand to principals and are honest! But this is different from Scott!! you were suspended and fired twice, The so called father Bwalya wrote you a stupid later and many others did fan things against you!! Pleading for a chance to formulate mast policies and benefit Santa’s family! Tiyoko!!!!

  9. THE DIRTY-MINDED PF LOT! NO ONE IS SANE IN PF . ALL OF THEM HAVE BEEN INITIATED TO THE DEVIL. THESE GUYS ALREADY HAVE PER-MARKED BALLOT PAPERS. PLEASE I URGE EVERY ZAMBIAN, WORKER OR NON WORKER, HEADING A DEPARTMENT OR NOT HEADING A DEPARTMENT, DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN HANDLING OF ELECTION MATERIALS, OR NOT DIRECTLY INVOLVED, TO PLEASE BE ON THE LOOK OUT AND DETECT AND REPORT AND MALPRACTICE OF ANY SORT BETWEEN NOW AND THE DAY FINAL RESULTS WILL BE ANNOUNCED TO THE NATION. IN FACT, ECZ IS SUPPOSED TO PRE-TEST(LITMUS TEST) SOME OF THE BALLOT PAPERS IN THE PRESENCE OF ALL STAKE HOLDERS TO SEE IF THE MARKS DON’T FADE OR CHANGE INTO SOMETHING ELSE. WE NEED TO BE TRANSPARENT AS A NATION WHEN IT COMES TO SUCH MATTERS. LEADERSHIP NEEDS SERIOUS-MINDED RESPONSIBLE ZAMBIANS TO TAKE UP THE MANTLE.

  10. When you see and read the insults that upnd cardres throw at PF, it makes you think twice and say’ PF is more civilised than these so called ‘educated people’. seriously, no sensible person would vote for such a party that the only thing they know is to insult. YABA!!!!

  11. There is no need for more time. Pf’s perfomance has been pathetic. The introduction of pangas by pf has made many zambians hate the party.

  12. did i hear right? people will receive quality health care in Samfya when one can’t receive quality health care at UTH? Bufi chabe during election time

  13. The spirit of every meaningful government is to continue the projects and hand over to next govt,whether you complete them is not a mandate to be voted in again. Quality and morality of leaders matters most. No quality and morality in pf wat they (pf) exhibit is violence and thugery. So it’s No to Guy’s plea and No to pf thugs!

  14. Poor Scott, have you asked Sharon to start packing? Oh no, you were a clever Muzungu and knew what was coming. That is the reason why you never moved from the piggery in Lusaka East. The unfortunate one is Edgar because he has to go back to his ‘Kachasu’ deny in Chawama. Please keep him away from the Blue Water dam otherwise he might commit suicide.

  15. Scotty? I see you insist on carrying on this charade of supporting Edgar, even though we all know you hate his guts with a passion.
    I guess we’ll have to settle for that secret vote for Mr. Hichilema when you get into that secret ballot booth.

    But think, Scotty, how we’d have adored you for aeons to come, as the politician who stood against evil for the love of his country. It’s an opportunity lost, Scotty, to get onto the right side of history, albeit a little late.

    Talk it over with Charlotte tonight, and make that big splash – You don’t have too much time left!

  16. Mat 24:22 And unless those days should be
    shortened, no flesh would be saved. But for
    the elect’s sake, those days shall be shortened.
    He who endures……..shall be kept safe! Safe from the
    evil one and his minions.
    Endures means to Endure In Faith! Endures means to
    “not lose faith”! Endures means to walk the walk of
    a true believer with An Enduring Faith!A Sustaining
    Faith! A Faith that overcomes!
    Enduring to the end is–Living our lives in the
    liberty and freedom of An Enduring Faith to our
    appointed time! Depending and relying on the
    Lord for our protection and guidance. God tells
    us that the spirit within us is more powerful
    than any spirit of the world. That is part of the
    anointing all saved Christians receive when they
    are reborn and baptized. We are overcomers…
