Vice president Guy Scott has arrived in Kaoma district to boost campaigns for PF candidate Rogers Lingweshi in next Tuesday’s Mangango parliamentary by-elections.
Dr Scott, who torched down at Kaoma airstrip slightly after 11:00 this morning, was received by several ministers led by Gender Minister Inonge Wina, regional security chiefs and party cadres before proceeding to Mumu’s Guest House where he briefly addressed the press.
Dr Scott said that he was satisfied the that the presence of UPND president Hakainde Hichilema in Kaoma undermined peace in the area, alleging that the opposition party leader had moved in with 15 youths who were causing the violence.
He said government will not tolerate any form of violence in any locality and called on police to bring the perpetrators to book.
And PF campaign manager Obvious Mwaliteta said the ruling party has reported ten cases of violence against the UPND to the police in Kaoma and dockets have been opened for the perpetrators.
Mr Mwaliteta said the situation in the area is calm since Mr Hichilema left; adding that the UPND had resorted to violence because of the resistance the opposition party is facing from the people of Mangango to accept them.
He said the UPND were instigating violence in the hope that the Electoral Commission of Zambia would cancel the by-elections though the PF has been campaigning peacefully.
And Ms Wina, who is also PF national chairperson, said the ruling party leaders have been urging their cadres to exercise restraint and remain tolerant event in the wake violent attacks.
The Nalolo lawmaker said she feared that there might be voter apathy as a result of the violence but was hopeful that the turnout would be good as the vice president’s presence will boost the morale of the people.
After the brief stopover, Vice president Scott later proceeded to Limbotwa and Mulundu areas in Mangango constituency where he is scheduled to hold campaign rallies.
This finished Muzungu Sure Drumming support for another Dinasuar Lingweshi..kaya
Atase. Ndiye tu bantu utu twapasiwa K50 each to receive Guy Scott.
Uko Sata alikuti. He is not gonna be seen again. He is finito kaput!
Magongo people got HH’s message loud and clear. He advised them to accept bribes from PF if they dangle money and gifts because its their money which PF stole from them through its stupid policies.But on the voting day they should vote UPND for a better future.
We will replicate the message every where. Telling them to accept bribes from PF but vote UPND for a better future.
The people should now know that the reason why PF has resorted to bribing voters by forcing them create fly by night clubs so that money can be given to them is that PF has plan for them for the future and its getting unpopular each minute that passes.
PF is…
I even changed my day plans because I heard Sata was gonna be in Mangango?
That Guy Scott need rest too.
@1 if you are a kasai and not a zambian dont comment on zambia’s issurs. let zabians have their own say on their issues. Guy Scott is our vice president and not your vice president.
according to LT, Guy “torched down.” With the grass in those air strips, we must have a bush fire by now in kaoma, lol
I bet you he used one of those outdated ZAF planes. Question is, how does the PF keep using government machinery for their campaigns and this sits well with the citizenry and ECZ??? Am I missing something here?
@Msoro mission. The President and the vice president are legally allowed to used their GRZ privileges even during campaigns.
Your Honour we shall give you a 75 percent vote here in Kaoma because we have seen the wonderful work PF has done to this Province.Bravo PF and keep it up !
Muzungu! Muzungu!
Ieseni mumone Musungu!
Zambia is finished.
The world is about to come to an end; what with this finished white old boy looking like a star? What has happened to Kabimba? Is it because of his belief that only Sata can send him? This PF is likely to pack bags.
