With 72 hours to go before the Mkaika by-election takes place, vice-President Guy Scott, has described the MMD as a ‘dead party’ whose performance in the poll is expected to be anything but dismal.
The vice-president also beseeched people of Mkaika to come to terms with the reality that former President Rupiah Banda is “history” and shall never return into office to help them so that they can start looking forward and back the ruling party under President Sata.
Dr. Scott further expressed confidence that the Patriotic Front (PF) candidate David Phiri will win Thursday’s poll with ease so that he can start contributing to the development of the constituency under the PF government.
He commended Mr Phiri, the PF candidate, as a courageous man who resigned from the MMD to join the ruling party so that his constituency can be developed based on the ruling party’s track record of delivery.
He said the track record includes road construction country-wide and other projects such as universities and 650 health posts country-wide being constructed at a cost of about US$48 million.
“Mr Phiri is a courageous man, loves the people in Mkaika and has joined a party committed to develop the nation. We have put up development projects that will be seen soon and our works will speak for us in the 2016 campaigns,” Dr Scott said.
He was speaking when he addressed a rally at Gaven Primary School in Mkaika Constituency to drum up support for Mr Phiri yesterday.
Dr Scott said Mr Phiri is hard working and that he has brought the social scheme fund for the people from 50 years of age and above in Katete.
He assured the people of Katete of more development if they vote for Mr Phiri.
Dr Scott said the road leading to Msoro village from Katete will be tarred soon and that a number of schools and health posts will be built.
And Dr Scott has described the MMD as a finished party which the people of Katete should forget about.
Dr Scott said the MMD is being led by failures, whose political fortunes have since dwindled and faded with time as people figure them out for what they are. Deputy Minister of Works and Supply Mwimba Malama appealed to the people of Mkaika to give the PF an MP it can work with to develop their area.
Mr Malama, who is Mfuwe MP said, “You have seen what we have started in less than two years we have been in power. So many projects are underway and the country will be linked soon for easy movement of people and transportation of goods.”
And Mr Phiri implored the voters in Mkaika to vote for him so that he can continue with his development agenda.
He said since the PF came into power it has been releasing money for many development projects such as roads and that many parts of Mkaika are now electrified.
Mr Phiri pledged to work tirelessly in developing Mkaika if he is re-elected.
The Mkaika seat felt vacant when Mr Phiri resigned to join the PF.
Other candidates standing in Mkaika are MMD’s Peter Phiri and Nigel Mpakhateni of NAREP.
You can say that too about Sata in the year 2016 coz he ain’t ever returning to office due to his huge misteps, mind boggling blunders and very open disrespect for others.
Zambia and the US are the only countries in the world with black presidents and white Vice- presidents. Says guy….nice one kekekekekekekikikikikiiiii
Where is Kabimba Mr. Scott? Kabimba is always on by-election campaigns, and he should be campaigning instead of Guy Scott.
And Guy scott just endorsed Mike Sata
If RB was history why do always refer to him?Dr Swine Scott you can never change perception about their own son RB those are his roots not Scotland.Your reasoning really bothers as to how you got your PhD I always wonder who wrote the thesis for you dander head?
RB is history.
Viva PF
Viva Sata
TWALI NGA IMWE
NAIMWE MUKABA NGAIFWE
PF will also be history one day, nothing lasts forever and Guy Scott should know better. Look at the way he walks, with a slight limp and that means he could be history any time.
ba scott,know that clinics, schools and hospitals are citizens right to have and not development as you term it,why should people get them only they have voted?you speak like an illiterate uncultured person and thats very sad indeed.
Ba gay scot shut your damn mouth and match to hell! Do you think people in mkaika are as stupid as you! Cheat the bembas not chewas! Stupid white man ever!!
Ichipuba cha musungu… thats what my grandmother would say
So true Right Hon. Vice President.
Mr. VP Please don’t disappoint us?? , This is a Traditional Ceremony not a Campaign Trail?? Honestly why talk about RB, is the man still a threat to PF. Deliver what you promised, No body put those promises in PF’s Manifesto but You and Mr. SATA. So time to keep your promise.
“vice-President Guy Scott, has described the MMD as a ‘dead party’ whose performance in the poll is expected to be anything but dismal.”
LOL, anything but dismal!
So if NOT dismal does he mean triumphant?
Muzungu saziba chizungu
The writer meant something else but decided to use fancy English and completely messed the sentence up. Guy would be pissed to read that this is what he said. Lol
Is RB contesting in Mkaika?
if not then this man is a Big F oo l
RB is a man and a half.
What is in Guy Scott’s job description? The only thing the chap does is campaign in bye elections. Do we really need this figurehead position in government?
what happened to 90 days campaign
strategy?y invoving a man who is not
in the campaign team for mmd.nowander
my presido said…guy scott is the most
stupid white man he has come across.
MUZUNGU WOPUSA MWEH!HH was right
Instead of campaigning, he has decided to provoke them.
RB STAYS IN CHIPATA AND THE MOMENT YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH TO SAY RB. PEOPLE WILL HATE. EVERYONE KNOW THAT RB IS BEEN PURSUED FOR NOTHING.
IT LIKE YOU GO TO MPIKA IN CHITULIKA AND SAY SATA IS FINISHED OR IN CHOMA OR NAMWALA AND SAY HH IS FINISHED.
NIMUZUNGU OPUSA MANINGI.
Iwe Guy Scoty respect our former president, he handed over power in humiliation what more do you want? sort out Kabimba chika.kala wopusa iwe.
Guy Scott is scared of RB’s shadows as he walks about in Eastern Province. Whereas there are active political leaders such as HH and Nevers Mumba, why is Scott worried on the existence of RB?
In his capacity as Deputy President of PF and Government, Guy Scott must find a formular on how to resolve PF’s relationship with Paramount Chitimukulu and the Barotse saga.
In his own living room the Vice President is expected to stop quarrels between his own children (GBM vs Kabimba) who have formed opposing camps in the PF party. In fact Scott must have the courage of a ” real man” to discipline Winter Kabimba who has been publicly attacking his Ministerial colleagues at the dismay of many PF followers. LEAVE RB ALONE!
Useless white man
Icinangwa ca Musungu – a fossil so to say.
“He said the track record includes road construction country-wide and other projects such as universities and 650 health posts country-wide being constructed at a cost of about US$48 million.”
650 health posts and universities cost US$48mil? Nanga fimakamera fyamu Cairo road @US$210mil? Why is this government/party not synchronised?
RB is not standing on the MMD ticket why mention his name in your campaigns just tell the people of Mkaika what you want to do for them.
….I’m abit suspicious with LT site…is it another extension of pro-Government…?…The articles …the wkly pictures….. seem to suggest that. Please give balanced coverage if u are independent….critically observing….
How does RB come into the picture? I thought this man has brains, the opposite is the truth it appears.Failed project.
This man thinks he is talking to people in Mkushi or some place near Kasama. My people in Katete are above your insults and lies to RB and the MMD. We chewas reason with our heads! Tiyeni tiaphuzitse awa anthu aboza kuti asakapwezeponso unama!!! Vote for MMD!!!!
Stop racism just debate without, referring to one’s colour of skin. Doing so is, barbaric
and inhumane.
STOP TALKING ABOUT RB, YOU STUPID WHITE TRASH. GO AND SORT OUT YOUR PARTY PROBLEMS BEFORE THINKING AND TALKING ABOUT NATIONAL ISSUES. PF HAS FAILED MISERABLY. THAT IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN 50 YEARS AFTER INDEPENDENCE YOU APPOINT TRASH LIKE SCOT AS VICE PRESIDENT AHEAD OF SO MANY CAPABLE BLACK INDEGENOUS ZAMBIANS. THE REST OF AFRICA IS LAUGHING WHILE MOTHER ZAMBIA WEEPS.
Why don’t people ask a simple question to David Phiri: What did you do for Mkaika under MMD which you could not have done if you were in opposition? If he can show what he did then he proves that MMD was ok. If he can’t show what he did, then he proves that he may not deliver even under PF, therefore he is an unsuitable candidate whichever you look at it. One does not have to be in government to bring development. He wants to be in government for HIS OWN good.
this chap is mad,a disgrace to white comunit. how does RB come on bod during bye-election? nonsense muzungu wabelela. *****.he has run out of words,u r in power bwana tok about issues not bwez, tamulala pali bwez,
Scot – Never say never. Never underestimate an opponent – especially of the type that RB is. The only time RB will be history is when he is no more. In fact the same can be said about anybody. There are no losers in life except the man/woman who falls and refuses to get up.
The mobile hospitals that Banda bought cost far less than the cctv cameras to be installed in cairo road. This is plunder.
That is umodzi ku mawa. Mess with anyone in Zambia, but not ku mawa.
I hate Zambia coz of PF !! try and insult me and I will eat u up vomit you! I am done with kolwestan banana republic. Now that you have completed the hacking system you can go and fcuk yourselves. What a chi country and what fools in the forefront. I despise of u!
How much is Zambia worth? $2trillion ? lets sell her and divide the proceedings by her people instead of just a few selling her bit by bit until all the stupid ore is gone. That wy we can each get about $130,000.00 and call it quits.
This poacher thinks he is still living the imperialist life. Nothing sensible ever comes out of him. You will also be caged for your crimes against the Zambian people.
