Members of the PF Central Committee have converged at Acting President Guy Scott’s farm in State Lodge, East of Lusaka for an emergency meeting.

The members resolved to confront Dr Scott after he declined to attend an earlier meeting held at Sports and Youth Minister Chishimba Kambwili house on Brentwood Drive in Lusaka.

The Central Committee members had started gathering around 07 Hours and waited until 10 Hours for Dr Scott who was nowhere to seen.

It was at this point that the members including Justice and Defence Minister Edgar Lungu resolved to drive to Dr Scott’s farm who agreed to meet them.

On arrival some cabinet ministers namely Fackson Shamenda and Emmanuel Chenda believed to be members of the cartel were seen driving out? Dr Scott’s farm.

Mr Chenda however u-turned and joined his colleagues for the meeting.

    • There are two problems here: the first is that the timing of this dismissal is totally wrong and secondly the pf constitution is at fault concerning the concentration of power after the death of the party president..it’ll be interesting to see what the outcome will be from this meeting: are we going to see Lungu reinstated and thereby Scott losing face or are we going to see Lungu remain fired: confirming that the acting president has totally miss read the norms and values to do with respect accorded to mourning and handling of the deceased ‘business’ who is still above ground??! Scott is zambian but it takes the proper transfer of values and norms from one generation to another to truly input a culture in an individual…the man messed up!

    • Le Grand Patron Wa Zabanga is right.

      Eventually Guy Scott will just resign as Acting President because he is beginning to see that even though the Cartel has the presidency, in effect, the numbers in the central committee and the masses of foot soldiers in PF are actually with Lungu et al.

      As some point, he will simply call it quits and retire with dignity then face whatever Fred Mmembe has against him knowing that as long as the power will be in Lungu’s hands, he will be protected even though those matters may be as embarrassing as the ‘Bana Nono’ saga or worse

    • My advice to Dr Guy L Scott – please keep well-away of the so-called “cartel”. They are very unpopular and may drag your good name down the mud. Perform your duties as acting President, diligently and impartially, so that you remain forever respected in the minds of your fellow Zambians. You have my total support as acting President and do not allow yourself to be used to settle other people’s debts – “do not be a part-taker in other people’s sins”.

    • Zambians, this just gives us the Opportunity to correct our Mistake of voting for PF. By-Election is around the corner. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DON’T VOTE FOR THESE DULL PEOPLE CALL PF. THEY WILL MESS OUR COUNTRY AND LEGACY OF PEACE. Let them be fighting while the opposition are re Grouping. This party of Ganja smokers is finished. That’s it.

      Guy Scott has nothing to lose. It’s the fat Kambwili and all other confused PF cadres. Good that this is happening. Makes all Zambians know them better. NO VOTE FOR PF. THEY ARE USELESS.

  1. Acting President Guy Scott has rescinded his decision to fire Edgar Lungu as Secretary General for the Patriotic Front.
    Scott disclosed the development at his residence after a protracted meeting with cabinet ministers and central committee members… ZWD niziii

  2. 1) Why was lungu fired (there is no smoke with out fire)
    2) lungu had his chance, but he decided to show his weakness
    3) Bembas are only about 20% of the population
    4) As a country we need to stop being manipulated by ****** (Kambwilli)
    5) HH will dismantle lungu in the election that a fact (weakness)
    6) Scott has a trump card up his sleeves (watch this space)
    7) Zambians complain too much, always complaining, there is no end to it
    8) We need to look at the benefits of having Scott as President (say you are an investor coming from china, who would you want to do business with Lungu or Scott?). lets take two steps back and look at this at a different angle think about what’s best for Zambia. Like who will attract the most investment, tourists, etc.
    9) Mushota is intelligent

    • Susanoo you are very primitive you lack self esteem. Keep quiet if you are not a patriotic Zambian. You are kind of pipo that allow your home (if at all you even have one) to be lead by other men

    • Do not be deluded. HH does not even want to win this election. He has 29 MPs in Parliament. Even if he won, he would be impeached after a vote of confidence is called. His only position if in the unlikely event he won, would be to dissolve Parliament and call a general election, that is risky, PF would win again. This election will be decided in the PF Central Committee, that is it!

    • I think I have being misunderstood. The system has all the power and the wealth which you are lucking (It will take years to develop a system to challenge the current). But if you fool the system into thinking all is well the system will share some of the wealth and power. Once that happens then and only then you will be in a position to challenge the system (e.g China). But for now it is wise to play along (SA). The world has changed no one is playing by the rules.

  3. Zambia wins against M’membe, Wynter and the group. Clearly Scott didn’t learn from Sata, you don’t mess with someone who has the backing of the people. Lungu for president.

  4. I agree with HH Guy Scott is a two bit white man.Zambia is for Zambians and not Fred M’membe alone.Viva Edgar Lungu.

  5. Touch Edgar and touched everyone. Chief Nzamane has just said it, “we are stand aside and watch the son of the soil be humilated”. Guy Scott is a Vulture.

  6. The cartel has no numbers. Democracy is all about numbers. Edgar Lungu has the following. After Sata burial, Scott will be expelled and be put on the earliest plane to scotland because he is a muzungu o pusa. Scott has rescinded his decision to fire Sata’s right hand man Edgar, but that is too late for Scott

  7. Sports and Youth Minister Chishimba Kambwili… Bravo job well done we need such kind of leaders who speak for its citizens.

    Mr. Sata taught us one thing… he taught us how to react and speak for what is right.

    Chao

  8. Ba susanoo,
    Dont just say Zambians like complain, what is your point of saying that? When things are wrong are wrong, you get that!
    Am so thankful to all my fellow Zambians for who we are and what God has made us this way. We are a people who love peace. For real. You surely know what happens to other countries, if such a thing happens to them! you know it.
    So all what are saying is that we ought to always be like this, the togetherness for the good of all of us, the poor,rich, young and old.

    And please my fellow youths,lets not allow the devil to control us, or may change our hearts to evil things, like fighting……. God is on our side, and is their to helps us in this trying moment. My prayer is that ,one day will come together again and be more stronger than we are. God bless…

    • @Makasu you are right I apologise my friend I was wrong to say Zambians, what I meant to say is most Zambians. But its the truth, think about it.

  9. Almost all the members in pf are now predictable including Scott. But Emmanuel Chenda is a different case all together, I wonder what game he is playing, thereis something off about him, I wonder why.

  10. Remember the power of money. Some people are shouting the loudest not because they want Lungu back but because they want to secure better positions when power changes hands. Nobody wants to be left without a chair when the music stops. Politicians have no loyalty. Ask Munkombwe.

  11. Now we shall know how to clean the mess in pf. viva zambians!!!!! wait and see after we have burried. The first to go shall be scott. followed by his new sg. chilangwa kikikijii

  12. News is out that Edgar Lungu has been reinstated by the Central Committee. Scott and the Cartel have realized that Lungu is more popular than first thought! Scott to resign by end of week!

  13. Dont blame Scott for the confusion, blame Lungu, he is the one who has been going round, talking bad about scott, he should learn to keep quiet when he has taken a
    A drink, very careless indeed.

  14. I quote “Guy Scott is the most stupid white man & he is the only colonialist remaining in Zambia” (HH). I now believe this statement without reserve.

  15. I too agree that Guy Scot niwopusa ngako. He wants this country to be in flames. I urge the Central committee to go back to the constitution and see how they can remove this Guy. He is a disgrace to PF. You can’t get instructions from Fred Membe in full view of people. Coz no one can doubt that the action was from Membe

  16. The Guy has shown his true colours, so the cartel is real? Too risky, anything can happen in the next 84 days. Faka pressure, you have the numbers, vote him out.

  17. You frustrate Scott and PF is finished; who else will campain for the party in the abscence of Michael (MHSRIP) and Guy? The muzungu man has been a great image builder to the patriotic front. Apart from Lubinda and Jean Kapata, the likes of GBM, Kambwili, EL himself may campain but will not win you an election. Where ever GBM has gone to campain during the paliamentary by- elections PF have lost. He was campain manager in Muchinga constituency and Chipata central and honourable Kunda and Phiri won respectively. Recently they (the same “A team”)campained vigorously in Solwezi and we lost to HH’s UPND. So I too agree with Mushota it’s even better to give it to HH for sanity’s sake because people like Kambwili are Kabovas and will not change unless they get spiritually born again.

  18. Scott is trying to save a bad situation here – all these “jockeying” for power are in fact effectively just working to remove PF. The mind boggles that they can have such a lack of perspective and integrity. You only have 80 days! And people say “no but Scott must resign”. What good will that do? Lungu then gets to be President for 70 days? So what? Think about the election that is coming in 80 days, not who is in charge today

    • KICKING “THE BALL CALLED SCOTT” OUT OF Z!

      Hon Edgar Lungu has shown leadership in the way he has handled Dr. Scott from the time the Scott threw himself in the mud to the time he is now muddled up in the mess.

      Now it is clear the nation has realized that we have had a very wrong person in the party. Guy Scott. He is heartless, ruthless, careless, mindless, fruitless, and all unknown useless terms in the world. Simply hopeless!

      We should not just dream about expelling Scott from the PF. He should be shown the next flight at the airport, before he causes war and turmoil in Zambia.

      If Scott were a shoe I would not wear it again, a meal not eat it, a movie not watch it, a wife divorce it, a ball kick it…out of Zambia!

      Scott not saving any situation. He is like u. Hopeless!
