Vice President Guy Scott says he has forwarded the request to State House for Parliamentary Whips to meet President Michael Sata following speculations about his wellbeing and whereabouts.
Responding to a question by Kalomo central Members of Parliament Request Muntanga during the Vice President’s question time who wanted to find out whether the request he made last week for the Whips to visit President Sata has been followed up, Dr Scott told the house that the request has been transmitted to State House.
Dr Scott says he is awaiting the response from State House and that as soon as he gets the response he will be able to communicate it.
There has been growing speculation about the President’s wellbeing and whereabouts following his recent visit to Israel on a private working holiday.
On Monday State House Released still pictures of the President chairing a Cabinet meeting in which he appeared to be well.
Meanwhile the Vice President has told Parliament that Levy Mwanawasa General Hospital has adopted several security measured for accessing and entering the premises following the recent incident in which a man was masquerading as a Medical Doctor.
Dr Scott says the hospital has established a security section consisting of ten guards paid by government and that in addition government through the ministry of Health has contracted Armcor security to help beef security by providing 24 hours security.
Bonaventure Ng’uni of Lusaka’s George compound was on Tuesday sentenced to four years and six months imprisonment for masquerading as a doctor at the Levy Mwanawasa General hospital.
Good move ! I hope they will finally meet him.
Brave Coward MPs. Why not drive to the zoo and find out for yourselves. You do have access but instead behaving like political pr0stitutes. The big question is ‘WHY’?
This question is for Mr Scott. Who exactly is the boss at State House from who you are seeking permission for the MP’s to meet Sata?
As far as the constitution goes, you sir, are the most senior person in Zambia after Sata and you’re are the one who’s supposed to be issuing orders.
I read elsewhere on this blog that you have now realized you can act as President – something we have always known – are you now abrogating your leadership duties by asking for permission from your subordinates?
Please Mr Scott, we are not stup!d! Just admit to Zambians that the President is no longer able to function as President and we might just pray for him.
If you are not sure how states are governed, please do keep quiet. For your own info and that of others, all these careless comments including proxy’s from wherever you are are or rather can being monitored. Don’t complain when the law catches up with you. Some postings are tantamount to treason. Consult a legal person if not sure of your legal freedom. Think before you post anything .

A partially incapacitated or bed-ridden Head of State is still functional and constitutionally a valid Head of State; that is in the absence of a designation of the degree of medical fitness that an incumbent President should enlist.
Therefore, even if HE President Sata is barely murmuring commands, he is still in a position to give instructions, as long as he is in a sound state of mind.
How can they trust Amcor Security to “beef up” security, when they can even pay their guards or suppliers
