Acting President Guy Scott says any cabinet minister purporting to convene a cabinet meeting is committing treason.
And Scott says he will not resign and that he will not be blackmailed by people trying to use government resources.
Cabinet ministers supporting the candidature of Chawama MP Edgar Lungu earlier called on Dr Scott to resign saying he has failed to run the country.
But in response Dr Scott said there is no law that allows a group of ministers to make such a demand.
He said it is only he or the vice-president who can convene and chair a cabinet meeting.
Dr Scott said in the transition period he will act as President, he will not allow abuse of public resources for partisan interests.
Below is the full statement
GOD bless you scott
Scott has more than impressed me. This Chap deserves a beer – man.
If only Zambia had 10 men like Scott. We would be miles ahead. Wow.
HH wake up where ever you are. This is my first time to post a comment and my revelations should not be taken lightly.
Edgar Lungu has been informed that should election be held without him rigging and abusing state resources, then he will lose elections to you by a landslide margin hence his manuvaz to remove Dr. Guy Scott from the position of Acting President.
According to the latest revelations, Edgar has bin informed that HH will get between 38% and 42%
Edgar Lungu = between 31% and 35%
Rupiah Banda = between 22% and 28%,
And the rest to be shared among other contesting political parties.
Edgar Lungu and his team are therefore panicking.
I am not a sapota of HH, but I have to do my job to infom u.
Any one who will opose this revelation should do so to his own plea.
When we told u that Edgar Lungu is a Muslim, some of u refuted.
But now see wat has happened.
Voting for this man will really bring caosi in this country.
We told u that Edgar is an Isamic Jihardist who spent 4 years training in Iraq during Sadam Husen. The man is not interested in Zambia’s peace but blood. He is a worse dictator than Idi Amin nand San Abacha.
Records are there in Iraq to show.
Be careful with some of these candidates u sapot. No well meaning Zambians would sapot Edgar Lungu an Islamic Fandamentalist.
Very soon he will declare Zambia an Islamic Country and the same u pipo sapoting him will start crying wen he introduces Sharia Law.
Watch the space, Zambia is headed for disaster
Zambia in the year Of Jubilee. Guy Scot has something up his sleeves. Not even the opposition will benefit from his stance, wait and see!!! He knows how naive we zedians can get when it comes to supporting people of a light complexion. Anyone dark in complexion is dull and got no brains, that is the majority Zambian way of thinking. No wonder when Guy speaks, he is right, when others speak they are hungry and are not even considered. Wait & see, one day there wont be two sides but one for everyone.
Scott, just throw the lot in prison, They have committed treason! we have waited too long to get rid of these m,.onkeys!!
@ampit I agree. Guy Scott is a great man. I have recievd info that EL s bad political mannerisms are linked to his UPND origins. He leant from UPND how to pull a fast one on presidential hopefuls. He carried this bad habit not forgetng the beer man title with him when he joined PF Lungu repent from UPND sins and let democracy reign in PF. U are in the right party with wrong UPND doctrines
Never liked Scott but on this one I support him 100%. Listen to what he says there is merit in his arguments he wants to follow the law no shortcuts. Zambians lets open our eyes Lungu is becoming too desparate.
He is done the right thing
Edgar Lungu and his camp are going about the wong way
Thanks
BB2014
No the people who put you Scott there can remove you, how do you forget its the cabinet who put you as acting president.? The same law can remove you. Next impeach him..
Zambia has now recorded the Second ‘Coup’ sice the country became a mult party in 1991.
In 2007 the coup leader was Captain Solo and this time the coup leader is an Islamic Malawian Fandamentalist by the name of Edgar Lungu.
Our security men should arrest him together with the bunch of Ministers.
Mukobeko Maximam Prison will be the Home of Edgar Kachasu Lungu uless the chap gives beer addition as his defence.
why should we suffer over a party problem. the question is does Lungu have the interest of this nation at heart (that is if he has a heart) or his own interest. GOD forbid this Lungu chap ever become president of Zambia. GOD forbid indeed.
lungu as a lawyer should know the provisions of the constitution. he is trying to use the back door. in a democracy there is use of a ballot not hands you ***** and he thinks another hand lifting ceremony as was at the rock of failures in kabwe will usher him into Zambia let him forget.
ZAMBIA KINDLY DELETE THIS LUNGU CHAP!
TREASON??? Please minimize the words.
Yes we understand that Guy Scott is following the republican law.
But the Cabinet Ministers are using the PF laws, which Scott is not following.
I didnt know we had a provision for the PF vice President to write letters to the Chief Justice in order to influence the Party candidate for nominations?
I remember when one Wynter Kabimba, in his capacity as PF General Secretary, did the same in a matter over bye-elections, we was ridiculed by all right minded Zambians and was subjected to Court Action.
There maybe no provisions in Law or the constitution but one cant run the affairs of the nation without a cabinet.
Yes all Zedians are behind Scott on this one – The Constitution is on our side, imwe ba mumbwe, just wait for your famous 90 days of i.di.ocy elapse – we hopefully then shall have a sane president & govt in power – The new presido SHOULD DISSOLVE PARLIAMENT AS HIS FIRST ACT upon being sworn in, so that these mon”keys can trully be allowed to be arrested for their blatant thieving!!
All the confusion and tension is Scott’s doing..has Team EL made any mention of using govt resources? Why lie Dr Scott just because you made a fool of yourself you now want to bring the whole ship down..what a truelly selfish cretin this hopeless useless worthless white bastard is..may he go to hell and burn for the terrible sins he has committed from the time he was a minister in Kafupis regime!
***VIVA EDGAR LUNGU 2015***
Edgar Kachsu Lungu has bloked the aceses to the Zambian Watch Dog.
Edgar Chibuku Lungu the Drunkard Dictator.
Let him be arrested. Failure to arrest Lungu should lead to all criminals serving different sentences in our courts to be released.
This is because all Edgar Kachasu Lungu is worse than all criminals in Zambia because he is a ‘Coup Leader’.
Scott has committed so many gaffes at party and government level that erodes public trust and national peace. He is in Government sponsored by his party which can fire him and consequently lose the standing in Government. His continuity in Government is at the mercy of the sponsoring party and not by default of nothing. Should the party find him wanting, the party can drop him as well impeach him against which if the motion passes through, he loses the seat and Government position. It is therefore, wishful thinking to insinuate that his party or parliament cannot remove him. The constitution does allow removal of President from office if found wanting. Calling for impeachment or indeed withdraw of member support by the party is nowhere an act of treason but constitutional order.
This is the only guy who can claim to be carrying Satas vision, all the others are pretenders and opportunists reloeded. Since when did Harry Kalaba become the right hand man of Lungu? something very fishy is brewing in PF
my question is Scott how did you end up acting even when we know that you are occupying that office illegally. musa mwenye deceived the Zambian people…the same constitution you are following is against you.? also how do you make decisions without the central committee when this is against the constitution.?
Furthermore, they asked you to resign to save you from the embarrassment, now that you are saying no – they just have to raise the issue in parliament and subsequently impeach you.
Your choice Sikote
And he should stay right were he is. Its very sad that things have got to this stage. Scott is the president of the republic per constitution and his doing a wonderful job. If they want to remove him they should call for a vote ku National Assembly and see if they can master the 2/3 majority required.
Why doesnt Guy Scott call on the security wings to apprehend the said ministers if he considers the call for his resignation to be treason?
At least that will clear his the way for his preferred candidate Miles Sampa. Somewhat, I have a feeling that even the Security Chiefs will have some level of concerns over the leadership of Scott and may well not be prepared to heed his call?
He may need a helping voice on this…. Sampa! Sampa! where are you?
Kekekekeke!!!! I am laughing.
I was just looking at the photo of the “cabinet.” Sure sure Chi Guy Scott alone (1 bo chabe.) and he has managed to handle the entire kola clique.
I can see frustration on their faces ati: Yaba!!! Ichi cimuntu. Kansi tiza cita bwanji.”
Kekekekekekek
“Abuse of public resources for partisan interests”, Guy Scott must know something here. Kaminamisa Lungu and his tandem of thieves want to get Scott out of the way so that they can use public resources for their campaigns.
Thanks for looking out for poor mother Zambia Scott. We are poor as it is and these thieves want to swoop in and plunder and fill their selfish stomachs while others suffer. Look at the pictures of Chawama constituency and you will see that people are suffering while these thieves are using resources meant to improve the lives of poor Zambians for their campaigns.
Guy Scot is proving to be a thorn in PF ‘s back side. Any way PF is just paying the price for adamantly refusing to give the people the correct constitution on time. Had they done that earlier as promised this mess would have been a thing of the past by now.
When the bible cautions us that those who live by the sword die by sword it really presents to us the real action system obtaining in our lives.
How does this biblical caution apply to PF? Well, they lived by a fraudulent constitution,and are now suffering by it.
When God says PF no more thats it. No amount of intimidating Scott or each other will save PF from the brink of destruction. As the election day draws nearer we will see, the Kambwilis , GBM, and other top PF cadres speaking in favour of HH.
Viva HH.
Well done Guy Scott. Arrest those sons of…
Scott you all but done,,,,,,,
We are about to expel you from the party…don’t say Katondo boys didnt warn you,,,,
2015 vote PF (Edgar)
I thank you
Scott has decided to play it fair after realising that his candidate is no where near PF presidency and HH has really gained ground by now. So he wants to follow the constitution once abused by his boss to word so that, he emerges a hero after handing over power peacefully to who ever will win.
UPND is going to win these elections whether PF tries to rig or not .
Guys Scott needs his security detail beefed up from now on. These desperate PF thugs can smoke him out any time so they usher in Lungu to abuse state resources during the campaigns.
Viva HH.
Pf really has to resolve this immediately otherwise total chaos is awaiting them on Nomination day. I see both EL and Sampa going at the same time ant this means bloodshed. Zambians is this what we want to see for sure?
Well said Scott. You will be recognized as a hero of this country once the UPND takes over on 23rd January 2015. The desperados in the Lungu camp are clearly panicking and may do very crazy things.
Sorry Big Loser, checkmate. I told you did I not? But like a typical PF cadre you do not listen. Poor you.
Our country is more important than Guy scott.
A vote of no confidence has been passed by a full cabinet and you have no choice but to go.
We value and cherish our peace and stability.
We differ on how best we can govern and develop our coutry but we still love one another as Zambians and no one can take that away from us.
Scott just vacate the position in peace
This is behaviour is exactly like the characters of the A-Team that he once claimed the ‘three PF bigwigs’ were synonymous with. With one dead and another having deserted, he is fighting the ‘battle’ alone against the masses – the other PF members. Am sure he has a foot to stand on. Tell us more please. Your are definitely not alone, someone must be typing those letters!
@Nostradamus
Bushe chachine niwe Martin. If you are I will be very disappointed. Ati kuli story yobe.
Exactly what i thought when i saw that recommendation of resignation from a purported cabinet meeting resolution. Cabinet is only cabinet if it is chaired by the president, otherwise who chairs it? whatever angle you look at it from, there is no way way abena chikwanda and group can say a cabinet meeting. bupuba bweno!!! why did you in the first place put him there. PF you are going out, whether you like it or not and your hope to save your jobs and illegal dealings by making sure you win this election by putting lungu as president to rig and use govt resources will not work!!!! otherwise, if you do that. tulechivivula!!! ba pompwe imwe mukabutuka muchalo chesu na ma.ta.ko!!!!
Scott we are with you, and the government resources must be protected for the next govt to function properly. It is clear a minister cannot instruct secretary to cabinet to convene a cabinet meeting. It means such a minister has formed his own government.
Guy Scott, why is your statement not on official government (state house) letter head? was it typed at your farm? are you running this country from your farm? The ministers 14 of them gathered at a government office next to cabinet office. surely they will sack you if you force your hand. all they need to do is dismiss you from PF and you will be gone as acting president!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now where are those i.d.i.o.t.s who were calling michael sata a good leader. hmmmm, mushota!!!! where are you? surely a good leader, leaving this mess behind? we told you that he was trash, but you did not want to listen. thats why i know now, that the biggest f.ools are the so called educated ones!!!busy following goons that we just buried a while ago!!!!!
Chiluba told you, kaunda, told you, mwananwasa told you, banda told you. You elect sata as president, you are voting for chaos. and all the people that said this, had worked with the man. balimwishibe imisango shakwe. hmmm like i.di.ots you vote for him.see now the damage done.
like i said before, let just one shot be fired by these f.ools and twalachivivula!!! Mukabutuka pama.tako mwefilwani imwe if you dare bring your pf nonsense
@ Big L
or shall I call big arshole. VP has been appointed by President not Cabinet you 5tupid laying son of 100 fathers. Read constitution jerk.
Ba brian lombe, it wont work. if they dismiss him, they will need to give him chance to exculpate himself or he can just take them to court challenging their dismal of him from the party. and with the different court levels we have, it will start limbe pa magistrate, then high court, then supreme court and then supreme court will send it back to high court then the case will go back again to supreme court and this is all time my friend ka and he will still be acting president until the matter is concluded? by the time the matter is concluded ninshi HH aleteka already 5 months!!!!!! am sure by then they will also be busy in the courts, abena chikwanda, abena lungu fighting for their lives for all the nonsense and treasonous acts they did mdala. PF out. Viva HH, Viva HH, Viva mdala!!!!
Edgar Lungu is an illegitimate president of PF. Miles Sampa’s case is still in court and is yet to be disposed of.
This is the monster that the late president created. The divide is deep and the reconciliation chances are nil !!
Now; this situation is putting my wisdom to test.
Everyone is taking advantage of the flaws in our Constitution. I feel it is not water tight on this one.
please we need to sit down and talk.
Enjoy wisely
Scott may have some valid points in that there is no provision to remove him from power, the challenge he has though is that he has to work with Ministers that have expressed a vote of no confidence in him. One wonders how he will be able execute his work effectively, the Ministers can frustrate his work if they wanted to which might even affect the upcoming elections. There is need for reconciliation between Scott and Edgar’s camp, they may have done some wrongs Guy himself has done some wrong like he did by writing to the Chief Justice regarding nominations, for the sake of the peace of the nation there is need for soberness. Scott should realise that he can only be a good leader that his team allows him to be. What legacy does Scott want to leave and can he achieve this single…
GS is way ahead of the EL team. this guy has really played these guys who think this is KMB station. ladies and gentlement, EL cannot manage PF if it loses these elections and this means he has to win by any means and the only stalwart to thwart them is GS. he has been one step ahead of them all along. he forms rainbow and WK didnt state whether he is president yesterday so there are people who are finishing PF and then jump of Rainbow party so that they collect all the party members from PF. come 2016, PF will be abayashi. GS please continue following the constitution and lets see where these guys will go next they thought they were very clever when they were raising hands to vote as if we are monkeys. i for one cannot afford to have a president voted for by show of hands.
Guy Scot has no moral standing on this issue. He ignited this disunity to destroy his own Party. PF should expell him immediately. On one hand your own Cabinet Minsters pass a vote of no confidence and on the other he accuses them of Treason. He also suggests that the reason is blackmail to use public resources. But he forgets that he just instructed the acting Chief Justice to not accept nominations from PF. Is this an example of how he intends to follow the constitution? He reminds me of the evil Joker in the Batman movies. Always using distraction as a weapon
@ Nostra Dumb Ass there is no law called “PF law”. The law of the land is the Constitution.
Therefore can Scott carry on with impunity because there is according to him no provision to remove an acting President?
And to silence those who put him in office, he now accuses them of treason.
A white foreign dictator now being celebrated by the oppressed. African greed is what Guy Scott is riding on. Stuff for how a white man colonised a nation ……!!!
I am not PF and wil vote for opposition. However, I stand by Cabinet decision. Guy Scott is now a dictator. Full Stop.
Come January 2015, this white man will entrench himself through a proxy. Docile gullible Zambians.
At the end of the day, Acting President Guy Scott is still the boss who signs off Lungu’s pay check. Edgar Lungu is the one who has the butterflies in his stomach. Old Dr. Scott knows all too well that Lungu’s bombs, missiles etc., that he is throwing at him cannot ignite. It is merely a desperate move by desperate individuals who are running out of ideas. The ball is in EL’s court, unfortunately.
If I were Scott, I would not even warn these retards. Just let throw them in jail and let them rot.
This bunch of PF Ministers are the most indiscipline leaders I`ve ever seen in Zambia. I don`t even know how they run their home. What is unfortunate is that these retards are Ministers in a country called Zambia.
With the unfolding events I now have a rethink on why Sata was sidelining Scott from acting president. It has nothing to do with parentage but more to do with procedures and rule of law! I have reason to believe that behind the scenes a lot was happening and a question begs an answer as to why Sata stuck to his guns maintaining Scott as vice president even though he never made him act! If for arguments sake Lungu was to be his chosen successor knowing that his health was failing he could have easily removed Scott and appointed Lungu, all what is happening now would never have come to pass! Aside Scott the likes of Christine Kaseba Sata, Alexander Chikwanda , and A/Chief Justice Chibesakunda must know a lot and are doing a disservice to Zambia through their quietness. Cry Zambia cry!
God Bless you. There is a reason why you are Acting. Lungu’s people want to plunder the little resources left. The group has created so much confusion. They don’t believe in the rule of law. Uphold the law GS we need to have some modicum of sanity in this country. Lungu and his group are a threat to the peace.
Most peace loving,educated Zambians are behind you!
I SUPPORT FOLLOWING THE LAW, TOO. THE LAW MUST GUIDE PEOPLE’S ACTIVITIES IN ZAMBIA. AND NOT THE LAW FOLLOWING PEOPLE’S MOODS. THAT’S WHERE MOST AFRICANS GO WRONG ALL THE TIME.
This is not a joking matter any more!
The sins of EL have piled up and reached the throne in heaven!
A clear act of treason has been committed with impunity!
Remember GS, never leave an enemy behind! You are in charge!
Round up these chaps before they make the country ungovernable! Then declare a state of emergency, dissolve parliament and call for fresh general elections!
I have my full weight behind you!
Well done!
I think the man should move quietly to the gay party, the RAINBOW .
Today was a sad day for humanity, as 132 school children were killed by the Taliban in Pakistan.
My heart goes out to the families of the victims.
At times we take peace for granted.
From now on i will refrain from posting hate speech . We are all equal regardless of our political affiliations.
Listen carefully! My aim is to finish PF and leave this country in total chaos. No one can fire me and I am above the law. I bet you didn’t see that coming. My powers even extend to the Courts where I can instruct who stands for elections and who doesn’t. Lungu will never rule as he would finish my cartel and new Rainbow party. Can you imagine that people can believe this government that cannot even pay farmers has resources to help PF? Its so easy to fool and confuse Zambians. Nonetheless I thank you for the support. Now I will unleash the final moves that spilt PF, block Lungu and ensure HH wins. It will be easier for Rainbow to defeat HH in 2016 than Lungu.
This so called acting president z a coward.. What does he want..The current constitution is against him acting as a president,so what constitution z he talking about.. Is he crazy,mad or somthng??? why does he want to put our country in chaos?? Zambians what’s wrng wth you,.I thought you were educated pipo,..Hw can you evn support that?? am so disheartened by you
Guy Scott is up against the looters and plunderers. As much as I think that Zambia and any African country should not ruled by a white person I think Scott is reasonable in this instance. Why can’t we have a black man in Scott’s position fighting against looters. Is there no one with the beef and Grey matter with black skin? Am shocked about how fellow blacks would want to steal from their own during the day like this only to be protected by a white man, This is wrong if everyone cannot see it. Zambia needs a Government of National Unity, (GNU). This or the HH option won’t work. A Truth Commission will also be required to probe into events leading to the death of the late president that also lead to abrogation of the Constitution. things went wrong then and no one even cares?
Indeed. Stand your ground. PF is not Zambia. Watching dictatorship emerge is not part of our future vision.
Edgar Lungu should have just respected Guy Scott, and to fire him. Edgar could have just walked in for nomination, and Chibesakunda could have accepted the nominations, she knows the law.
We all behind Scott on this one.These baboons should be arrested.Moslem Lungu why do you want to be president by all means?If you think they is mana at state house then you are not a leader.leadership is about service.
@Nostradamus
I have decided to share this information because for sometime now I have been taken aback by this person’s behavior. He is indeed a friend of mind. I went to school with him in Florida. His first name is Martin. For those who have heard this guy in the New York area talking about Mr. Ruwe with such scorn and hurling insults. This is him. He is not PF or a member of the Sata family. Sorry Martin, I just had to.
SIDO MARK cut down on insults.
Everyone wants to be president at all cost. Why do you think they spend so much money on campaigns, to serve you?
All politicians are only interested in themselves nothing more nothing less.
Watch what comes next!!!
We don’t want Lungu. He is a dictator. We have experienced this nonsense for the last 3 years under his Uncle MS.
What most of you don’t know is that there is a special wing of the sate security that is the eyes and ears of the president. These guys are smart, to say the least.
Scott would not do anything if these guys did not tell him something fishy is in the offing.
The EL camp know this and they are acting damn, not because they want to, but because they are desperate. They have backed themselves to the wall on this one.
“Whatcha gonna do, Macho Man?”
Cometh the moment. Cometh the man. That is Guy L. Scott. Mwamuna ngowongawo
There you have it from the horse’s mouth, sorry pen in this case!
foolish guy scott
Why foolish? Because is protecting taxpayers money from bunch of crooks? He should go further and arrest them for treason.
Thank you Guy Scott, stand your ground and let these fools know that they cannot just come in and hijack the party when they were not there during its infancy. You and the late MCS built PF and EL and his cohorts were no were and have only become known now. EL has proven to be a power hungry ” person with dictatorial tendencies and surrounded by people that want personal gain than anything else. We reject this and wont fall for the same mistake we fell for in 2011.
I kindly withdraw my support for EL….Let the best man win. Talema namwe ba mambala imwe!!!
This is what we call no convergency debate which was in PF resulting in the suspended suspending the suspending and whatever else and looks like it has now entered government with both parties using wrong argumentts to appeal to the moral conscience of the public gallerly. Let me break it down
First Lungu’s camp say Scott is a danger to security and should be removed. Security is a nobody argument and any well meaning Zambian will support it. But factually, how can writing to chief justice about the PF unresolved issues become a security issue warranting his resignation? Not valid
Second Guy Scott says he wants to protect use of Government resources. Again a noble cause that any well meaning Zambian would support. But factually, is that what the colleagues are after him for?
…
I’m pretty sure that if Guy Scott had not thrown the granade he threw yesterday in the PF camp, they would not thrown the bomb they have thrown at him now.
Both Guys Scott and Edgar Lungu are using flawed arguements probably from the so called Scool of Sata.
Smart Zambians are able to see through this.
Truth is Guy Scott is sure that EL ‘s will be on PF ballot unless something drastic is done and that is why he did what he did. This is nothing to do with use of Public resources, PF looks well funded so far.
Tuth is EL ‘s camp are dead scared that someone can block Lungu from filling nominations. So they want to cover all their bases. Again nothing to do with Security of Zambia.
Case of crooks at work playing innocent Zambians emotions here.
@MMD Chief Bootlicker….If you read between lines, Dr Guy Scott is saying that these guys (Lungu and friends) are after him or trying to remove him because he wont bow down to their demands. Part of the demands are the use of government resources.
Of course he (Dr Scott) is throwing this excuse on a wrong platform. Your analysis is pretty accurate, though. Both parties are using valid reasons but wrong timing.
It is also how amazing gullible bloggers are taking sides with seeing through all this deception both camps are using to further their agenda.
Trust me, after Saturday if PF gets their man on the ballot all will die down and HH will have a fight of his life on his hands and I pray he wins this one. The odds have never been so much in his favour and if he can pull this one off. He better think of life outside politics in 2016. UPND will have to get a different candidate, and please not a Tonga this time. Follow PF example. If they field Lungu, the family forest tag and tribal tage on PF will be history, and UPND will have to cleanse itself in a similar fashion to gain any national recognition and acceptance..it is my personal opinion UPND cadres , don’t throw mud at me.
MMD Chief Bootlicker you are the only one so far who I have seen debate this matter objectively without attaching emotion. Most of the chaps on here are yapping based on their hatred for Lungu or Scott.
@MMD chief boot licker I have lost a bit of respect I had for you.I thought you were an elderly citizen with educated mind,How can you talk of Tonga.Muli ba kopo ba mudala.Leave HH alone.HH is simply campaigning is not insulting like you Moslem Lungu.You still back wards you think tribe matter what matters is the brains boss.who does not brothers in law or sister in law or nieces ,Nephews who belong to other tribes.Its one Zambai one nation we are Mixed breeds now.
@Chief.
To get to the root of the current fandango I think I will have to draw you a few days earlier. The letters were actually the effect of some earlier activities.
After the consent Judgment, Team EL was sitting pretty thinking the Job was done. With Auntie CJ Besa in charge, they thought they could use the Judiciary to while away the time until EL submits nominations. And when the case was thrown back to HC. Auntie CJ deliberately picked Mungeni to hold the ball. Team MS saw thru this ploy hence the renewed thrust. Either they throw in everything including the kitchen sink or be damned – they chose the former
Out of panic, team EL reacts and here we are.
MMD Chief Bootlicker
You beat me to the line. Completely agree with you.
Fellow bloggers can we comment with reason not emotions.
I particularly like Bwana Mkubwa’s blurb. It’s exactly what it is. As already pointed out by many bloggers, this is now a game of two sides. The hard hitter will win the fight which will go all the way to the wire it seems. Right now, we are in the later rounds of this 15 rounder heavy weight fight I will term as “bout in the boat” Both boxers, Lungu in the blue corner and Scott in the red corner look tired and are both bleeding with burst noses though it seems Lungu also has a cut just above the left eye. The giant Scott by name and Scot by nature is looking to unleash a killer punch to end this fight! It’s tense ladies and gentlemen – the sit at end of seat stuff!
#MMD Chief Bootlicker, for the first time I totally agree with your analysis. I am very surprised how most Zambians, especially HH supporters are blinded by GS act ( to them whatever GS does is amen as long as its against EL, not knowing that if GS manage to have Miles stand under PF, what will make you think he will not rig elections for him). MMD Chief Bootlicker, it look like since MMD came out of power, you have stopped mis directing you intelligence. Good analysis. As put, PF have enough resources, 4 helicopter and it was EL who said I wont use govt resources, so what is GS talking about. what GS need to do is to go back to his bosses and tell them that he has failed to deliver the presidency to cartel.
Guy Scott has not breached any part of the Zambian constitution in his duties as acting Republican President. No wonder Kalaba and company have miserably failed to cite any article which Scott has abrogated. The letter he wrote to Acting Chief Justice was on PF headed papers, and wrote it in his capacity as PF Veep and merely made reference to his role as Ag President.
‘…merely made reference…’? For what purpose? Ama ilele at that level?! You must be kidding me…
…and the salvo arrives! – as expected.
Hopefully these salvos remain pen-and-paper based. Because I see this escalating quickly and ending in the unmentionable.
And that is the scary point.
Dr Scott, please go a step further and have all those 14 ministers arrested on treason grounds because that is what it is. They don’t even have shame to embarrass the nation like that. Why should we be lead by such people?
Don’t u think that’s too extreme?
He knows he cant, he doesn’t have those powers – Do you know who can finish off Scott.? CJ by saying that Lungu will file in his nomination, case closed…
Big jerk
How many times have you stated “case closed”?
ACJ can be suspended in interest of State by appointing authority. Have guess who is appointing authority?
When MC was alive none of these ministers didn’t dare fidget for he would have had them. Bafuna kudos a Scott because he follows the law. That is why they have become so indisciplined.
Patriotic Confusion @ it’s best!!
This Whole P.F Cabal of Confusion should NEVER again be allowed to reign over Zambia.
Both P.F. Factions – KUYABEBELE!!!
Ba scott .thats hypocracy i very much doubt that if it will miles sampa as pf candidate you would talk about abuse of public resources for partisan interest.its just the EL team have wiped u pants down.EL will lose to HH because of scott.
Edgar Lungu may pull strings in PF but not on this one. The Republican constitution is straight when it comes to Scott position as Acting President. If EL continues on this path he may find himself in jail. Viva HH!
I don’t like Guy Scott but on this one I support him 100%. He is the only sane person in PF to control government in this interim period. Listen to what he says he wants to follow the law, no short cuts.
why should we suffer over a party problem. the question is does Lungu have the interest of this nation at heart (that is if he has a heart) or his own interest. GOD forbid this Lungu chap ever become president of Zambia. GOD forbid indeed.
lungu as a lawyer should know the provisions of the constitution. he is trying to use the back door. in a democracy there is use of a ballot not hands you fools and he thinks another hand lifting ceremony as was at the rock of failures in kabwe will usher him into Zambia let him forget.
ZAMBIA KINDLY DELETE THIS LUNGU CHAP!
The whole truth, nothing but the truth. Guy Scot needs everyone’s support.
Yes all Zedians are behind Scott on this one – The Constitution is on our side, imwe ba mumbwe, just wait for your famous 90 days of i.di.ocy elapse – we hopefully then shall have a sane president & govt in power – The new presido SHOULD DISSOLVE PARLIAMENT AS HIS FIRST ACT upon being sworn in, so that these mon”keys can trully be allowed to be arrested for their blatant thieving!!
You lie; much of the PF is against Scott.
HH must be careful not to celebrate Guy Scott illegality or else come 21 Jan and Sampa has not won, Lindsay Scott will cancel voting!!
Ba UPND don’t comment without thought like a cow does. Why get messed up in a PF family affair? If PF is dismissing Scott, so be it!
.Lindsay Scott will stop counting of votes….
I am not behind him. talk for yourself and not all Zambians.
Absolutely! He needs support to overcome this irrational man whose only interest is to be president no matter what.
Dissolve Parliament so we can vote for everybody again then we shall see where that lot will be.
Unfortunately Acting President cannot dissolve Parliament. That privilege its given to President.
Art. 44(2)(a) and Art. 88 of the Constitution
guy scott as acting president has no powers to dissolve parliament. Even an elected president dissolves parliament with cabinet approval
the more you hate lungu the more we are supporting him
so guy scott you like it or not edgar will be our president
this mistreatment was once used to sata by chimba
so nothing will STOP US from voting edgar lungu LUNGU ALL THE WAY
Yes, you are right, if you Mr Real had 60% confidence/support/love in EL, I guess that support and conviction has now reached 99.99999%. But unfortunately that accelerated individual support won’t amount 2 votes, it’s simply one vote. On the other hand, there are other PF supporters who have been put off as a result of the actions by Kalaba, Luo and Kapata and may vote for Lundwig Sondanshi or Muliokela
Mr real
@ mr eal
But how many of u are sapoting Lungu. Are u sure Lungu still has any sapot in Zambia?. Tell us, unless u are commenting from one of the Islamic Countries.
Edgar Kachasu Lungu is the most harted Presidential Candidate of them all.
@Mr real Sata forced himself on Zambians ,tell me were is he now?6 feet in the ground.Lungu will also follow.Zambia is Christian nation all the thieves will die.
@ mr real
Lungu “all the way to where”?
Woodlands Police Station as suspect for disclosing State Secrets or Treason?
Harare as refugee from justice?
Cipuba ici.Just resign on moral ground.It’s u abusing the resources.Why did u give that UK airline license?No one is supporting u in PF except cartel group n UPND supporters.Ci dictotar ici cinangwa
Calm down @Moscow(Op) insults are not the way to go. Dr. Scott is a senior citizen don’t forget that.
He might have done or said a wrong thing but insults wont change any thing please.
Rumour monger. You hear fake stories on the streets in Kanyama and then you bring them here..
Moscow,
Please have respect for Dr Scott. You PF chaps’ are a menace to democracy.
Just start packing up dear, no amount of changing names like Saulosi to Katondo boys.
Even Mushota the staunch supporter of Sata, has abandoned the sinking PF canoe. I have always been telling you PF cadres that, Dr Guy Scott is teaching you & your chakolwa Lungu et al , what the rule of law is all about. Scott is upholding the tenets of democracy and the rule of law must be respected at all times.
Lungu et al have committed treason so many times, they are even lucky that Scott wants a democratic transition from useless PF to a candid party.
32 days left till PF is democratically kicked off. No more squandering Zambia’s money by PF bandits!
Keep it Dr Scott.
S’Key
~206~
If these PF minsters can do this for selfish reasons what more when they are given power with no one to supervise them, it will be free for all. Zambians you have seen how these PF morons are. do not vote for them for the sake of Zambia
Edger Lungu won’t manage to control these fools from stealing government funds. They want to remove Scott so that they can steal government money- SHAME.
Lungu can expel Scott from the PF but canot bring party issues to government no.
We have seen for our selves . God cannot be mocked Lungu you ripe what you sow. lies, thugury, canderism. Viva Zambia.
why do UPND supporters assume GS has the interest of the country at heart. GS is a free mason in the Scottish lodge and HH is a free mason in the English Lodge. The 2 although they belong to different lodges still interact. GS might have been instructed through his worship master to support HH. What is GS trying to hide by frustrating EL and promoting MS. If GS says the majority of PF members support him were are those members. Clearly his cabinet does not support him. If his cabinet does not support him who is giving him the airs that he has. The Cartel and HH are definitely supporting him
JAY KAY,
No amount of your racist remarks about Dr Guy Scott can change your frustrations. PF cadres you don’t & will never learn what democracy is all about. Confusion and panga violence is all you know best.
Edgar Lungu a drunkard is NOT presidential material but a very dangerous hypocrite and is divisive fundamentalist eager for anarchy.
Electing a party president by raising hands is lunatic asylum in the offing to say the truth. Democracy is about the ballot, not the lifting of hands in the likes of Lungu mascaraeding as a PF presidential candidate when the matter is with the courts of law for determination.
Wake up, Need not another DICTATOR in Lungu.
32 days left until “Proven Failures” are kicked off of power, democratically!
The Skeleton Key,
~206~
Ichaume ca baume, my Acting President. I love u sir. That shud be the spirit of any leader. Narrow interests shud not be allowed to take superior position over national interest. I am aware u are under immense pressure to lift the lid over our national resources. My advice 2 u is stay stead-fast. U will soon run yo race. We are just remaining with just about 30 days. For now we have no one to care of our interest as Zambians in PF apart from yoself. If u give up, we will be condemning the rest of the 14m to abuse by the PF. It is a pity u never pushed yo late boss for a new constitution, nonetheless that is now water under the bridge. Stay strong & focused. May our Heavenly Father be yo source of strength & may He continue guiding u fo the remaining days and even beyond.
Scot you are lying.Its not all about misuse of nation resources during campaign but you want to please the Cartel.You people who are praising Scot you are mistaken.This arrogance is coming from Mmembe and the Cartel group. In life some one can be a useful fool.These are not principles but protecting his own interests of the Cartel they don’t want to pay the money they owe this nation. An invisible outside hand controlling Scot. People wake up this how civil war starts. Rise against Scot.
it seems you are the f00l of f00ls. if this cartel thing will keep our resources from spent on compaigns then the cartel is good. it seems you want Lungu at costs, even if he was to sleep with your mother to win you would gladly give your mother to him.
SHAME on you for loving Lungu over your mother , Shame on you.
There is no such thing as cartel! Kabimba has formed his own party what then is the cartel when we know Sampa and his group?
ever since we got independence we have never experienced problems in a ruling party like we are witnessing today……….the reason is simple; we have never entrusted powers to govern the country in a white man. why did we go 51 steps backwards?
Is that another M”onkey trying to make a monk”ey point!!
@ Patriotic You should have called yourself *****ic!
These problems were made by SATA and his USELESS style of Governing.
It has got nothing to do being white. Who refused the New Constitution promised us in 90 days? Remember who appointed Scott as VP??? Or is your brain incapable of remembering that far back?
Sata is to blame for all this SH!T. And the stupid people that voted for the dumb ass.hole!
Vote wisely next time!
You are lying these problems started even before Guy taking over as acting president. The problem in PF is about discipline, diplomacy and respect missing in the party. Everyone can rush to the media to spew rubbish without following the right procedure. Its chipantepante, kwalolomwela so, how do you expect things to be ok .
That’s a very foolish comment.
Yaba ba UPND ba ku monze can sell zambia .Viva EL
we’ll support u and defeat these colonial masters and UPND supporters
Teka bola panshi, uleumfwa ifyo balelanda. Scott is the President and Commander in chief. The allegations here are that EL is a Muslim…and Zambia is a Christian nation. Can’t you just give it a thought, just for 40 seconds? Check religion ya Wina, Luo Kalaba and Nsanda just for confirmation. The Malawian prophecy is coming to fruition. The crown is being removed from L and being given to HH. because L is not working with the white man. Remember the prophecy just two weeks ago.
LET THE WHITE MAN RULE. CANCEL ALL ELECTIONS TILL 2016. MAYBE WE CAN SEE SOME DIFFERENCE EH!!
Indeed the Malawian prophecy is being fulfilled here HH is winning according to Bushili just becoz of EL stabborness.
i second that motion, unreservedly.
Which law are you using John.
Lone wolfe you are the only last hope for hh.
The lone wolf has been hired. This is real Chuck Noris. Just watch how tongas are praising him.
Why do Bemba tribalists think every body thinks tribe? We saw how you tribalised the Civil Service, diplomatic services, parastatals, and cabinet. That’s your tribal curse – keep it to yourselves.
Poor planning on Sata’s part is what has caused all this. HH was right when he called him CNP. No succession plan, no Economic recovery plan, no post election plan. Zambia is now in the doldrums and the calibre of leaders we have now is as useless as a 2ngwee.
How come Kambwili and GBM have not signed the petition to remove Scott?
Kambwili was away, while GBM is not a cabinet Minister.
Well said Mr. Acting President. The only thing you have left with is integrity because thugs have destroyed the PF you fought for with your fellow comrade our departed President Mr. Michael Chilufya Sata, the Action Man. Do not let them touch our resources Mr. Guy Scot. Let them (These Thugs) prove that they mean well for Zambia by using their own resources .
I can see also civil in Zambia if Scott continues to be stubborn.he doesn’t know pipo from northern part of Zambia uyu.He’ll be defeated n mmembe will run.Can Guy scott stop lying n tell his friends to pay taxes and 14 billion.Can he tell us why did he invite his airline in Zambia from UK if it’s not corruption?Can he tell us who is procuring Fuel if it’s not cartel?Very corrupt chap.This man is a satanist.U’re making us getting annoyed now.For the first time since independence Zambia has experienced uncertainties bcoz of a white abnormal man.We’ll never entertain whites in govt period .Bamwisa aba.ati i’m the only one to convine cabinet.Those pipo were saying no to dictatorship mambala iwe
Restrict those sentiments yourself and your household, don’t make a sweeping statement about the good people of “Northern Zambia”. They are law abiding citizens who don’t condone anarchy.
Restrict those sentiments to yourself and your household, don’t make a sweeping statement about the good people of “Northern Zambia”. They are law abiding citizens who don’t condone anarchy.
Your racism is very shocking and outdated. If you could wake up from your blind hatred for just 2 seconds you would see that Dr. Scott has followed the Law to the letter and has done so commendably. It’s backward thinkers such as yourself that make Africa the “dark continent”. But then again it’s well known that Edgar’s supporters are of very low intellect and thank you for confirming that for us.
What civil war? Who are you going to wage that war against? If your enemy is GS and his tribe, then it is going to be war between you and the scottish. Impossible! Tone down bro and avoid such useless runtings. From now on you should never ever post such sensless sentiments. Abash any mongering of war in Zambia. We dont want brother to fight brother or sister against sister. We are all Zambianis
VIVA SCOTT!!! Which constitutional provision are these useless ministers following? Sort your party problems out (which are in court) and don’t mix them with the state. Period!
Good for you Dr Scott. The uzelesi panga ministers should not be given change to act un democratically and destroy the peace which we have enjoyed. Let Zambians of all parties condemn what these panga ministers are doing. Chik wanna has brought more misery with more debt on Zambia for the second chance and should not be allowed to steal more Zambian money.
UPND supporters stop saying Scott formed PF.Scott was in Lima party which he destroyed.he can’t run anything accept ifyabupuba.viva EL
And Lungu has problem balancing clients deposits.
Somehow always end up in his crooked pockets before 90 days?
Bravo Scott, why the desperation by pf? We are feed up with
the comedy. If they are confident about winning, let them
do it without abusing govt resources. It seems the issues here
is Scott has become a stumbling block to their dirty scheme
of abusing public resources to win an election. Thank you
Scott wahuna, let the whoever wins this election do so
without any under hand methods. Nasanta mwaane.
Cage Lungu on Friday, get him out on Monday. Therefore no PF candidate, the playing field does not deserve these PF thugs. If they lose the election we are at war. Everyone knows these thugs are no good. I don’t care who wins on the opposition side.
Emotions emotions emotions.
How do you believe that preventing a candidate from the ruling party will bring about peace? I my view, the opposite could be true.
Allow the PF to field a candidate whoever it is. If he wins good for them if not bad for them, but preventing them would be a recipe for anarchy.
Remember the countries at war did not ask for it but carelessness on the part of the leaders laid to it. Be very careful with what you say.
THATS MY PRESIDENT!! Well dome Dr Scott. Do not let these power hungry *****s to intimidate you. We all know what they want. They have seen that thy are fighting a losing battle and so they want to statch their pockets full of loot before another president takes power.
And also not go to JAIL for their THIEVING!
Guy Scott is being crusfied for the purpoted letter to the chief justice. Lungu, a lawyer by profession also has commited the same act by writing to the chief justice. We all know that the PF leadership issue has not been resolved and therefore one group can not claim that they won the case. Let the law take its course.
wether u like it or not UPND won’t form govt.Pf will form.EL
And Pigs will fly
All can say is wina azalila – there’s no way Scott can win this battle, Lungu will file in his nomination come Saturday…all those praising Scott prepare to be disappointed… I will seat back and relax…
It doesn’t matter even if Visionless Lungu files in his nomination, as long as he and his hopeless campaign team do not touch OUR MONEY.
You seem lost with your comment. Guy Scott said PFs candidate should only be allowed to file in his nomination papers on 20th December 2014 after the court has disposed off the consent judgement case.
I fully support you Dr. Scott. Please stand firm, the country backs you because if these thugs succeed, our nation will be violated, they will set us back to the middle ages. This should not be allowed.
I believe God has a reason for putting you in this position. So please attend to your duties diligently, but firmly. Do not turn the other cheek, this fight is not for you alone, but for the entire country, and those that will follow.
If you love your children and your country, and value respect for others….you can not vote for Edgar Chibuku Lungu. Anyone else would do if you like their promises. I mean anyone.
Vote wisely.
Do not vote Kaminamisa.
@MMD Boot licker, you are right. There is no one asking Scott to use government resources. Which resources is he talking about? The Ministries are controlled by the same Ministers he has disagreed with and he cannot fire any one of them just like he cannot appoint any new minister. Just the other day Nawaki was afraid Lungu as Defence may order soldier to cause chaos! So who has more leverage between the two camps? The EL camp also want to avoid any possible slippages that can catch them unawares from Scott’s actions hence their wish to put out of the entire equation.Otherwise when a Party is power it is easier for it to find well wishers and can still find a way to use government resources as the President cannot be everywhere!
And who are those well wishers? Zambians? Lebanese? Chinese? Indian? Zimbabwean?
Please enlighten us on that side of PF.
The drama in PF is mind-boggling.
PF the odds are against you. HH is carrying the day.
@Bootlicker I agree that the odds are in favour of HH. God is great for PF it is now facing the “Tower of Babel” syndrome,
God’s favour is on HH.
The church has not been sleeping on this matter, they have been praying day and night including fasting hence this confusion. I believe the hand of God is upon someone here!
Edgar Kachasu Lungu the Coup Leader is fast losing the little popularity he has.
Let him step aside von moral grouds.
Lungu cannot step aside on moral grounds. How can you expect certified embezzler to have morals?
Hats off to Guy scot for doing what is right. He wants what is best for the country.
Govement resources aba batata, when he was going to the convention madam Kaseba was using what resources?
God sent this Guy Scott to protect our country during this transition. He is our “Jesus” and I hope whoever wins from the opposition side will use Scott as a state witness to arrest these incompetent buffoons. Yes everyone knows why they’re trying to unit Scott, to plunder the resources for campaigns. Scott I salute you for your steadfast and courage to see to it that justice and the rule of law is upheld. You’re now the commander in chief and as such please call for an emergency meeting with our gallant security wings who have shown exemplary restraint from all this circus that has been unravelling. If this country was in west Africa, God forbid! Zambia would be on fire today. Guy Scott thank you ang God Bless U.
Balefilila munsenga nomba, Scot knows that the EL classico group will fire and expel him from the party the moment EL wins the presidential elections. So he has made up his mind and just get PF out of govt. I can now believe HH will form the next govt and PF will die a natural death with time.
Dr Scott you are a true and genuine democrat, i am supporting you all that way -pliz don’t succumb to illegalities perpetrated by Lungu and his vultures. What manner of desperation is this kansi ? Kuli vichani Ku State House mwebanthu tell us !!!
there’s a bottomless trunk of $$$
Game on! Time is ticking for the PF to sought out the High Court issue. PF….there will be no access to state resources! Fix your game or sink on January 20. Iwe Iwe Iwe viva to the people.
ah imagine! Time is indeed ticking. I’ve actually lost track of who’s taking to which court or which case in which court! The judges must be fed up!
Dr. Scott, you have all of a sudden become the hero of Zambia. You have truly redeemed yourself from the filth that you were wallowing in, filth in which your late dead friend threw you. His death has truly brought redemption to your name. Well done. Please do not be intimidated by these desperados. They should not frighten you. In fact it is they that are frightened little men. God has heard our prayers. PF is gone forever
if indeed there is no provision for him to resign in the constitution, then let pf expel this GS because he is there as a result of the party (pf) which has sponsored him.in any case mr scout,whatever your name is, pf is not after usage of public resources. once you re expelled, the speaker of the national assembly takes charge as acting president. we have a lot of well wishers that are funding our campaigns. in Europe,if indeed you mean well, you could have resigned on moral grounds and let posterity judge you harshly if u were wrong.
Please read Constitution before making fool of yourself. Concentrate on Part IV. It will take no more than 30 minutes.
Looking to see your comments afterwards.
Thanks

I thank you
@ Katondo wankers
Wank, wank, wank, wank, wank,…………
You are not saying the truth Scot.We all know that u are doing all this coz the candidate you wanted did not go thro.Give us a break. Your scapegoat seems to be cherished by the opposition supporters, but still PF will win thro pipo power.
I am only happy that you are no longer signing off your letters as pf vice president. bakuchefya mambala and in 33 days time-former republican vice president, whether HH, RB or EL wins
Big L , Scott can simply lock up your Lungu for treason, you lucky Scott is being nice. Otherwise Lungu needs a chill pill, this action has cost him vote, a Leader is supposed to be calm and collected, not reactive. Scott is too smart for your EL, grabbed power right from his nose. So don’t push Scott otherwise your EL will be locked up for the weekend
its kakoti sikoti who should be charged for treason for ursuping power illegaly.mind you scot the majority wins so don,t cheat yourself that you can over ride us all or else you will land your friends small sampa,membe and yourself IN TROUBLE the secret trouble that is troublering you wil put you into trouble.VOTE FOR EDGAR LUNGU.
Ba Kambwili naimwe we know that those remarks are out of politics for the belly. All you characters we know you, you dont mean well you are just safe guarding your jobs.
iyo kwena this is drama at its best! takwabapofye. I wonder what their King Cobra would have said about all this whining and fussing over State House.
ba scot
stop pretendin n hiding in the name of misuse of public resources.
u av just lost your ground,u av no suport from your fellow cabinet members becoz of your F00lishness and lack of leadership skills
hence want to give that as an excuse.
usless musungu
how smart ar u when just yestday u scretly wrote a letter to CJ wanting favours
n today u can stand n talk about coruption?
Surprisingly. Kambwili, Lubinda , Chenda and Simuusa stayed away. Something fishy is going on. If Pf was not a party in Govt we would ve ignored the circus there but we ve the commander of armed forces and minister of defence throwing mud at each other. Awe!
Problem of ignorance, Lubinda is not a cabinet Minister.
@ John Chinena
I agree with you about Lubinda, but, what about other Cabinet members? Lost in action or jumping from sinking boat?
It’s surprising to see 14 heads failing to reason and understand law better than one person anyway may be because he is a doctor but luo is professor . So even lawyer Lungu is failing again to understand Zambian law.
I think Lungu confuses himself by surrounding with nominated MPs who always are afraid of losing jobs no constituency what do you expect they only think after action
Luo had her assignments written for her!! There is no brain there!!
She is proper RTF!!
Bravo Dr. Scott. Team Edgar Lungu is nothing but a bunch of desperate fools and it has been clearly said that a desperate man is a dangerous man. We cannot be held at ransom by such *****s as Kambwili, Nsanda, Mwaliteta etc. My personal disappointment is with Hon. Chikwanda and Hon. Wina. One would think at their age they would have more sense than that. Shame on the both of you. Dr. Scott for all intents and purposes is the Chief Executive Officer of this Nation as well as the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces. The man deserves respect and not this nonsense. He is very correct that this conduct is treason and these criminals should be brought to book. Why is team Edgar so desperate to rule? Dr. Scott lock these Pathetic Failures up and restore sanity and dignity to Zambia please.
Who is the Master??? Guy wachikoti!!!
What resources does he control? This is not like a Presidential and General election! The Ministers are still running Ministries and him cannot fire nor appoint any one so who can ask him to use Government resources if they want? He is just mudslinging!! So is he telling us that now he has seen that the candidate he was against (EL)who is supported by the same people that have suspended and issued a vote of no confidence in him will be in the election and will need resources?May be he has seen that his camp is not winning in court!! From saying Lungu is not a President of PF to protecting government resources? This Guy seems to be inventing stories!!
More likely you have problem reading and understanding English.
Am very surprised with the level of understanding by some of u debaters,the issue that the ministers raised is NOT because they want Scot to go for anything else NO! 1.It is because he has NO rights to use headed paper to address any one because he is a junior most to EL according to pf’s seniority. 2. He can’t put his position as, acting Republican President when addressing the Chief Justice, that is tantamount to abuse of office because the Judiciary and the Executive are two independent arms of Gov hence there is no need for Scot to remind or direct them. So the issue of protecting National Resources does not exist. Let Scot challenge his removal as vice president of PF in steady of yapping like a child in the playing field.
And because of procedural wrangles in PF which are subject to private law, you are supporting removal of Acting President contrary to the Constitution?
Please, PF is just another party which is supported by fraction of Zambians, Office of the President of Zambia shall and must be respected by all.
You may agree or disagree with Scott’s decisions, but the moment you take any illegal action or propose illegal action, you are committing act of treason.
AND scott shud be ashamed because edgar said he will not use government resources and you are there holding onto government resources instead its you to tell us where you got that money for the general conference you prepared yourself and failed to show up.PF have enough money for campains,even if they don,t campain they wii be victorious.EDGAR is the next president.
Edgar Lungu has run out of campaign money. Hence this desperation to try to get rid of Dr. Guy Scott, so they can have unbridled access to State coffers. Sorry, that won’t work. EL you may just as well commit suicide, if you want to. You will soon be caged for everything else you have stolen to date.
MMD Bootlicker, you’ve indeed managed to note that both parties have thrown in redherrings in their arguments. The cabinet (allow me to call them such) is drawing unsespecting blogger on the moral scent of national security (how zambians love peace!!!), and then pull the security-loving public to the agenda of desciplining Scott. For his part, Scott ensnares the gullible audience on the moral ground of defending the national coffers (how we all love to have the coffers protected!!), thereby successfully making us forget to pay attention to the matter at hand. These are called fallacies of an argument. Only me and Bootlicker won’t be fooled.
We are all fired up and ready to usher in the 6 th President of Zambia, the Hon Edgar C Lungu
2015 vote PF(Edgar)
I thank you
@ Katondo wankers
Wank, wank, wank, wank, ……………………
Scotty stop taking Zambians for granted…
This is our country…You little care because its not your country.
By the way you maggots supporting this white skinned maggot are u really Zambians or traitors of Mother Zambia?
How can one person demeaning our ministers, just because they are black African, you also blindly support hidden agenda by this crafty man.
Who does not know that this man is working under instruction by a well known group of people who do not want to pay taxes to Central treasury, people who do not want to pay back loans, people with evil plans to impose homosexual tendencies on our mother Zambia.
No GS its too much…God will surely punish you and you supporters of evil activities you will equally be punished…Change or face God’s ferry
Please give us a break. This has nothing to do with race..that is the problem with you PF animals you resort to racist behaviour. Simply put the President or VP chairs the cabinet. By my reasoning that cabinet meeting was illegal and an act of treason. Go and read the constitution. As for Scott being Zambian…his more Zambian than you will ever be. enough said.
when EL wins we should find ways to deport this guy like what happened to William Terror (UPND) Banda and Chinula. I pray that EL wins so that we can show him that this is OUR country.
Your racist diatribe is reprehensible and indicative of your backwardness.Please widen you horizons and you will realise that this world is everyone’s oyster and that your racism is borne out of your own insecurities and ignorance.
Is this the reason why Scott is stubborn and wreck less because he thinks there is no such provision in the constitution. So he now takes advantage to take people of Zambia for granted because of what he now says that he cant resign because there is no such provision in our law? Is our law read in isolation of other laws? Is this to dare the Judiciary, Is this to dare the Courts? At last we people shall be laughed at and I believe people out there must be laughing at us how on one side we want to believe in our courts and one side we want to abuse our courts .
Not that Scott think that there is no provision in the Constitution, the FACT is THAT THERE IS NO SUCH PROVISION.
Please give us break. Such lack of basic education is alarming.
Read Constitution please. Don’t be like Lungu, big mouth, small brain.
@ 68 Watcherman
What kind of a “Watchman” are you? Dr. Guy Scott is the true watchman, working tirelessly trying to protect state resources from this hungry vulture, EL. Edgar Lungu’s campaign is broke and wants unbridled helping from state coffers. Scott, the real watchman, is saying “No, not under his watch.” That is the real source of this contention.
Who is mor senior in govmt btn scott and lungu?
From whom Minister gets instruction?
SEIZE SCOTT, ARREST SCOTT THE USURPER, NOW!!!
I wonder how most people on this platform would react if they were in Edgar Lungu’s shoes. Ladies and gentlemen of this great nation, too much of anything is bad. This drama in PF, isn’t Edgar’s doing….it’s Scott’s. I have never seen such naked hatred in any man…. What has Edgar done to Scott to wallant such treatment?
Legend
You dont have to worry….Scott will soon be history and this is definitely the end of his political career.He is about to be expelled from the PF and Justice Lombe Chibesakunda will act as the President of Zambia .
2015 vote PF(Edgar)
I thank you
Katondo wenkers
Read constitution moron
THE CAMP OF EL SHOULD NOT HAVE THE WAY IT HAS. UNLESS THEY WANT TO USE A SHORT CUT.
News Just in….
2015 vote PF(Edgar)
I thank you

Wank, wank, wank, wank…………………….
Since when did the President of this great country make unilateral decision on matters that border of national security?
You have been sidelining the Cabinet in all your decisions. So who’s interest are you advancing? Opposition? Cartel? Then join them openly and leave Zambia to Zambians.
Listen Scott, you are not fighting Mr. Lungu here, you are at war with Zambians and please stop this nonsense. We suffered for PF and you cant just come and highjack it whilst are looking, this we will NOT happen.
Our allegiance is to God and the flag of Zambia. In case you have forgotten what our flag symbolizes, take another look. Enough is enough. We are NOT your slaves. We are free people.
Viva Edgar Viva PF Viva Zambia!!!
@Scorpion
Stop exaggerating!!!!! PF is at war. Scott is for the rule of law, the Bemba ministers are for lawlessness and disorder. They do like law and order.
@ 74 Scorpion
You are truly a scorpion. You have a venomous tail and a brainless head.
Uyu tomba nyina alefwaikwa fye ukumukomaula namapanga.
@Shadreck Biemba…. Issue based and constructive criticism please. No matter how frustrated you feel please be civil. Suggestions of violence are completely backward and aggressively unacceptable in a democratic society. This issue requires a mature and constructive discourse from all of us.
@ Mr John1.Its not true that Scott is taking Zambians for granted ! please stop abusing the word “Zambians” . You are just PF cadres and that is not Zambiaaaaa ! ah! why do you find it difficult to understand simple things Mr John1. Some Zambians do not take part in politics for religious reasons, while others are just apathetic. They are not interested in your politics- so have nothing to do with Scott’s pronouncements today. Stopping speaking on behalf of Zambians because the so called Zambians have not asked you to do so. Just speak for your self, something like ” Scott is taking me (John1) for granted.
You have dull lawyers. Just the way cabinet endorsed you, they can remove you. To demand that you step down is not treason, as an English man you should understand the meaning of treason better.
We are indeed humble people, but we know how to fight for what we want. Even a bigger team of colonial Masters failed to continue oppressing us. You alone won’t manage, just advise your childish Sampa to stand on your new party, the Rainball fimo fimo.
You have dug your own grave as far as politics are concerned. Please people ignore this dreamer and go ahead and vote for Edgar Lungu for ci=ontinued development of Zambia.
@John Chinena
What is your problem your Bemba ministers are completely wrong in what they planning to do. The constitution does not give provision to remove an Acting President. He is there to oversee an presidential by-election. In fact these Bemba ministers want to use state assets to win the election.PF should use its assets in the campaign.
@ John Chinena
PLEASE READ CONSTITUTION BEFORE MAKING F**L OF YOUR SELF
@ 77 John Chinena
You are very corrupt. So also is PF.
Thx Dr. Well done and keep the spirit. We are Behind you
Why should anything think they can speak for Zambians ???? I am voting with disgust !!!
I decree that no weapon fashioned against Guy Scott shall prosper! Scott for president 2016!!!
Scott hates with a passion. He was busy using state house to hold party meetings. today he wants to stop others from using public resources. isn’t state house a public resource?….. a white is always greedy and doesn’t want any one else to progress and be above him. I can’t wait for Scott to stop being acting president. Like HH said “nimuzungu uwpusa” .Viva Zambia Viva.
@ 80 Wiseman
It was not Dr. Guy Scott who used to sanction such wanton misuse of state resources. We can’t blame him for the past.
DR.SCOTT WE ARE WITH YOU , PLEASE DON’T LISTEN TO THESE THUGS..EDGAR AND OTHERS ARE DESPERATE….
Viva Scott. Perhaps it’s best to lock up these kabovas trying to hijack the country so they can reflect with a sober mind
The only people that are behind Scott are UPND supporters…soooooo

I’m sorry, but how can this man say he is preserving the rule of law, but in the same token writing to the chief justice about Edgar Lungu. Should he not be respecting the judiciary and allowing the Chief Justice to make their own decisions?
This man has been the worst President in 90 days that I have ever seen. The level of pettiness and mishandling of this transition has been ridiculous. His first action was to try and make changes in the cabinet when he as a transition President did not even have those powers. He has managed to go from Hero to Zero in record time. I defended him to the detractors only to find myself sorely mistaken. He is a terrible leader period. His motives seem to only be about keeping Edgar Lungu out of office, other than that he has done nothing.
Dr Scott you are a man of integrity. You have provided an exemplary example of the sort of leadership that Zambia requires and in-fact should claim of any leader that comes after. You have respected the law and followed the constitutions both of your party and that of the Republic of Zambia. Anyone who seeks leadership of this beloved country should emulate you. You have raised the leadership bar, sir. You have challenged those who are corrupt and ridiculed them. Who can claim that you are not Zambian when you have stood by mother Zambia and protected the resources of our Zambia from those who thought they would abuse them for their own political gains. We salute you your excellency and we wish you good health.
Mr Dustbin,
Mr/Mrs DUSTBIN. Please spare me with lectures, I have gone through lectures and I am done with that syllabus.When did you become my mentor or advisor?
Please spare me on that, I respect my judgment and myself in particular and I am successful because of that.
I can tell you are not a Zambian from what you have wrote.
I am a Zambian and live in Zambia and will die in Zambia, a true patriotic Zambian.
For your information Mr Dustbin, I will never sit back, stay quiet and watch one man setting my lovely country on fire…No I will never. The reason is simple, all my relatives are in Zambia and above all I am in Zambia as well. GS, the only daughter he has is abroad.
This man GS agree with me or not, he is not up to any good for my mother country, Zambia.

RETURNING OFFICER IN MILES SAMPA’S CASE INSIST SAMPA WAS NOT DECLARED PARTY PRESIDENT
Returning officer and prominent lawyer Germano Kaulongombe who conducted the second General Conference has applied to join Thursday’s court case by Miles Sampa as a friend of the Court.
Kaulungombe has sworn an affidavit stating that Miles Sampa was not declared as winner as the court injunction barring the holding of the General Conference was also served on him.
He also disclosed that the organisers of the second General Conference had taken steps to hide former Secretary General Bridget Attanga.
He also insisted that the court should recognise that a Quorum was not formed to validate an election of a President as required by the PF Constitution.
He also disclosed that the…
YEBO YES!! BRAVO!
VIVA EDGAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ 87 Katondo boys
Germano Kaulongombe is a hired gun and, I presume, a corrupt lawyer. The Supreme Court thinks that Miles Sampa has substance to his case. Whether or not he was declared winner is mere technical jargon.

“But in response Dr Scott said there is no law that allows a group of ministers to make such a demand”.
That is the dictatorship that we are talking about. Can Guy Scott equally quote the law which makes such a demand by cabinet ministers treasonable? Come on Guy Scott, Treason is too serious a national security matter to bring into your self imposed power politics.
But then, even the colonialists justified their rule on the basis of the “constitution”, even the apartheid regimes down south “followed their constitution” when they ruled South Africa. Were they wrong or right?
And what is the relationship between Sampa’s desire to become PF presidential candidate and the alleged “attempted illegal use of Government resources”?
It is treasonable if you wilfully act against the constitution. Your Bemba ministers want to promote anarchy in the country.
@ 90 Super cadre
Time out! That is circular reasoning.
@ 90 Super cadre
Your thought process is like that of traffic at Kafue Round About and not like that of traffic along Independence Avenue.
@90 super Cadre
You are correct in juxtaposing those arguments in that way. You can clearly see the wood for the smoke if you consider each of your questions.
Scott’s stand is that he is for Constitution and Legal processes, but truly, can you say that is reasonable conduct? He is Vice President of the party that REFUSED to pass the constitution, now he us ALL for constitution and law! Please!
The law is there when you fail to reason with one another, is a referee. Need for it proves you are not agreeing. How can gov’t not agree with its various levels? You must work in unison. Therefore Scott has contradicted himself in his conduct.
He is proving to everyone that he has no deep understanding of how gov’t structures operate together.
The Central Committee (PF) should write and notify the Courts / Electrol Commission that the party has withdrawn its support for Scot. In Zambian you are only President or can Act as President with the sponsorship of a party. if that is withdrawn u r no more. Even in MALAWI this happened to a siiting President. The same provisions for removing president applies to an Acting president. He can even be impeached in parliament, in addition to the above.
Unfortunately, the statute of limitation has expired on PF with regard to playing such a childish game. They have played all their cards, and are now empty-handed. Any sane court will only smile with astonishment at the magnitude of PF’s desperation.
And can you PLEASE clarify on Article of the Constitution on which you are basing your comments? Perhaps Art. 140?
Thanks Wilz.
We all need to be helping to find a way out of this impasse.
Gov’t is not functioning properly and we need to come together in discussions to express and possibly offer understanding. Your input is valuable here for everyone.
Guy Scott has never needed the Sata appointed Cabinet anyway. His real “Cabinet” sits regularly at the cartel executive offices.
Guy Scott is right. These Bemba ministers want to promote lawlessness and disorder in running the government. He is on firm ground. They will be committing treason if they continue to go against the constitution.
WHEN DID LUNGU BECOME A BEMBA?
But How is Edgar Lungu Bemba?
10 of the 14 Ministers who signed to remove Scott are bemba
hey fellow monkeeez in the tree:
Zambia ends with A and the first six presidents surname will end with A. Greek prophet
power of A.
1.Kaunda- ends with A
2.Chiluba -ends with A
3. Mwanawasa – ends with A
4.Banda – ends with A
5.Sata – ends with A
6. ?????? – end with A
it can really hurt you, but its happening.
@ easy YES , SAMPA ENDS WITH A
H/HICHILEMA ALSO ENDS WITH A
Guy Scott knows very well that should EL win, he and all the Mmembe cartel are in trouble. Therefore, forming Rainbow party will technically split PF thereby making EL lose. For Scott and Mmembe, it is better to hold on to resources and make PF lose. The cartel know very well that it’s not possible for WK to win these elections but they are using it to confuse PF. If you have paid attention to The Post Editorial, they are more safer if HH wins.
EL knows the opposite to be true. Him and his cartel are in a bigger mess.
This page is full of UPND supporters who always think that Guy Scott is collect in his actions what he does is not following the rule of law, it is taking all the decisions by him self, remember a good king is the one that does not call himself a king.
To not agree with treasonous acts is equivalent to be UPND supporter?
Are you mad or have lost control of your reasoning?
hey baboon “j4real” u r a real monkey that cant even spell “correct” when you say ” UPND supporters who always think that Guy Scott is collect in his acti…”

What’s annoying is you are just contradicting people and disturbing a good debate from being informative.
@The Attentive Public – I agree with you 100%. On this issue, The Acting President Guy Scott needs the support of every Zambian. Let the PF use their own resources like other parties.
“j4real”- you should go to “zamspellit show” maybe you can be knocked out in the second round…Lol..if you wish!!!!…LMFAO..back to grade 4..

If I were Scott, I would not even warn these retards. Just let throw them in jail and let them rot.
This bunch of PF Ministers are the most indiscipline leaders I`ve ever seen in Zambia. I don`t even know how they run their home. What is unfortunate is that these retards are Ministers in a country called Zambia.
Your excerllency Mr HH. Please, please when remembering the Heroes of Zambia, honour Mr guy Scott with a gold medal.
I agree with you
hugs and kisses for guy scott…hey yo! go get them dude…we right behind you…these hill billys aint going nowhere!!

“Patriot Abroad” do you have anything to say?
Or reason for your silence can be found in your “learned” support in calling for the death of President?

Wank, wank, wank, wank, wank, wank, ………………
I doubt if a zambian can be tolerated like this in Scotland.God help us.He will have been deported long time ago.
Dr Scott is not Scottish but Zambian. He is the Acting President of the Republic of Zambia and therefore has a stake in this country just like you and me. So please quit with the racial remarks and focus on issues.
no one has to be black for them to be Zambian…plain and easy…get that fellow monkey shambala..
This white big is just ashamed!today no cabinet minister supports him bcoz they’ve all realised that this foreigner is a spoiler!our mass votes made late Sata minus using Govnt resources so even Edgar Lungu shall win without Govt money!this big has no more tricks.EL is damn popular,so his victory is obvious!viva EL viva PF and bravo to brave ministers!
@ 110 eddy
If EL’s “victory is obvious,” as you say, why then is he kicking people around? Why isn’t he just minding his own business and prepare to move to State House honorably? Lungu has been raising too much dust that is choking and suffocating other people. Is that what it means to be the next president of Zambia???
this is not about lungu!! it is about WHOSE interest Scot is serving: fired by FTJ, failed with LIMA party, failed as commercial farmer ended up defruading zambians on PIG scandal cheated on yellow maized – Relegated to ceremonial VP. ABUSED government resources in Bye-elections;
Zambians need to wake!! muzungu wopusa is not serving your interests – remember a while ago he called TONGAS as an insignficant tribe during a BBC interview:
supports gays & lesbians smokes pot and is drunk – shakes when not drunk. Scot is serving his personal interests. Am not suprised colonialism lasted that long in Africa becoz some africans forget easily and never look at big picture.
Can the ARMY COMMANDER restore order in the country – before zambians kill each other; 14 cabinet Ministers…
@ 111 satah!
All of a sudden you are opening a supposedly can of worms that has been hidden from view all these years that Dr. Guy Scott has been working harmoniously with the late President Michael Sata. Why are you failing to accept the fact that Lungu and his cartel are dirt and are acting dirt?
Guy is doing the right thing. I does not want us to be ruled by thugs. Anyone else besides these maroons will be good. Cleaning up the judiciary should be a priority. How do you want to easily become like Zimbabwe? fortunately we will not vote on gun point like our friends in Zimbabwe so Zambians have a choice to elect a responsible government or enrich Nsanda, Chikwanda, Chibesakunda etc.
Scot needs to be dealt with severely!!!! how in does he want to confuses and hide behind some obsucre protection: the law serves the people if it does not then its a bad law.
Someone get guy SCOT locked ASAP – never mind scot’s ranting ! the vote of no confidence by 14 minister’s stands he is only an appointee of the same ministers – what noses is this..
@ 113 WARRIOR
Warrior, it sounds as though you belong to Shaka’s Impi. We don’t use an Assegai in modern day Zambian politics.
@ WARRIOR
Who told you that Scott was appointed by Cabinet?
READ CONSTITUTION BEFORE POSTING IDIOCY JERK
I am not a supporter of Scott but he is absolutely right. The EL camp want power but it seems they can not differentiate between PF and government. Remember a few weeks ago they threat not to approve the national budget if EL was not adopted as candidate for the PF. Now you have ministers trying to fire the President, which school have these people been to. Only Parliment can impeach the President and you need 2/3 majority for that. These are in panic mode because they know they can not win the election with out rigging and Scott is leveling the playing ground such that they have no chance. We need to now be alert for a possible coup because of this desparation.
Under these self created confusion, which Zambian do you think will accept orders to throw his fellow Zambians into jail? Throw ministers into jail, all 14 of them, for merely stating their opinion of Guy Scott’s leadership style? You kidding bwana, that is a recipe for chaos. Let Scott learn to consult, respect other people’s opinion, and sort it out with his cabinet without creating chaos for the rest of us. That is what they call leadership.
When were you born? It has happened before, and many times! Just wait. Government has more than enough jail space for 14 individuals. Minister kwisa? Ask George Mpombo, where is he now? Where is Steven Masumba? The time will come when bonse balamba ukumubutuka EL – pa last akashla eka. Government te yakwangalila. Some of us have worked in that system. Civil servants often look st.u.pid to people who don’t work in government, but when that machinery starts turning against you, no one can save you bwana. Balabutuka abantu. Some of his group will even turn state witnesses, telling the country exactly what is going on right now behind the scenes. Batekanye sana. Anyway I hope they win, because if they don’t some will go in or die from high blood pressure. Mark my words.
WELDONE GUY SCOTT – You are a hero to the majority of us with brains in our heads. Let EL and his continue one serious offence after another. After 20th January when they lose the election, we will smoke them out to explain to the Zambian people in court why they committed treason. I can even see that some of the Ministers supporting EL even chose to stay away from him on the meeting because they know what could happen unless EL wins the elections which is now steadily turning into a nightmare for him. Clearly nationwide support is now galvanising around HH, even junior Chiefs are now clearly voicing their support for a different party – even though they are not explicitly saying that. EL will regret what he is doing, there are people in law enforcement who are watching and taking notes!
@ Judge Masipha
You posted a comment that I am abroad and should concentrate on my papers.
I am abroad but I am not separated from my country. I am passionate for Zambia and I care deeply for my country. Please do not assume that because someone is abroad it means they do not care or that they do not have right to care.
I am always an advocator for the Rule of law, obedient to it such as I am, I believe if we do not remove these conflicting personalities we will have a bigger problem. I do have more than a rudimentary understanding of the law, but my comments are also steeped in Common Sense and what is Reasonable.
Ifunde li funde EL just follow the law there is no short cuts to the presidency. Sort out issues with Sampa first why are you afraid of the current judicial process!
On this one I support Scott!
Scott is on the right track. He knows that he is now dealing with clowns.
Edgar lungu and his camp has become very stupid( nibompusa).
Someone, has the Lungu camp closed Zambian watchdog? This is what is going to happen, I hope they don’t close Lusaka Times or all media of communication. The country should know that they are dealing with a thuggery government.
After reading this the words
ONE ZAMBIA ONE NATION go through my head, i say i silent prayer for Mother Zambia.
@1.17 Senior Citizen
Thank you for your correct interpretation of the Constitution. Scott is wrong in his understanding that he cannot be Impeached. The Cabinet have the right to meet to discuss a No Confidence Motion. Cabinet, CCMs, Judiciary are all levels of gov’t that have a duty to ensure our Democracy.
We are living a nightmare. A man who has lost his reason is in office of the president.
PF are correct and have acted belatedly to remove Guy Scott. They have damaged themselves by having allowed him to Act as President. He was the most foolish member of PF, yet they let him become Leader.
Guy Scott has become disruptive and showing deep disrespect to all the Levels of Gov’t.
Please STOP BEING CHILDLIKE and be Patriotic Citizens rising to PROTECT
Dear Zambia
There is nothing for it. Scott must be removed. Mwenye and the Judiciary must protect our democracy. To date they have acted lackadaisically, thinking it is a Party/Personality Issue.
However Scott is showing serious signs of Loss of Reasoning. If ALL your Team have no confidence in you, what is there left? They are not working together effectively. IT IS IMPROPER THAT SCOTT RAISES TREASON ON ALL CABINET AND MPs. If you hang all of them it would be unprecedented. Zambia is a Torchbearer of democracy, but must we be Torchbearer in hanging an entire Cabinet!?
Scott is clearly working against the state and has become HIMSELF the dictator. Please Impeach him, his conduct is unsuited to Office of the President. Send soldiers in and put him under House Arrest…

Nonsense you two, you are brain washed in jik trying to think like a white man.
Edgar Lungu visited Mugabe last week without Scott’s knowledge. In their meeting, Mugabe ordered Lungu to kick out “that little British imperialist, I don’t want to share a boundary with a country led by a white man. It’s an affront to our independence and spirit of African nationalism.”
if kabimba was around all this nonsense will not have been tolareted
@MMD Chief Bootlicker
I quote you:
‘Truth is Guy Scott is sure that EL ‘s will be on PF ballot unless something drastic is done and that is why he did what he did. This is nothing to do with use of Public resources, PF looks well funded so far.’
You should just stop there in your overly arching analysis. You are faulty in that you have failed to understand the implication of having a President in Office who is not working with his advisers who ARE PART OF THE GOV’t structures. His disrespect of the Judiciary is unacceptable.
PF are correct in demanding his removal. His antagonising tactics to get into office someone whom HE wants is flawed.
It’s annoying where people use their intellect to weave stu!pud arguments to appear intelligent. You are now Licking yourself…
Guy Scott must be Impeached. He has become Wild and Directionless. He is deliberate in his insulting behaviour. His conduct has become disruptive to his Party. He has begun to use his Acting President immunity to act with impunity to place a puppet president.
His address to the Chief Justice was improper and unbefitting. He is outrightly at war with his Party and not consulting to make decisions. His signing of Age Increment on retirement in a country where the average age of death is 50 approx. and in a country where people die waiting for their salary to be paid is UNACCEPTABLE.
Guy Scott is clearly a White man who wants to serve Zambia to the West. He has fallen out with his cabinet structure and is using his Acting Presidential role to cover the break in relations.
His IS A DANGER TO NATIONAL SECURITY BECAUSE:
1. The opposition Parties, who clearly know he is wrong are now basing their election campaign on the continuing conflict. This despite recognising Scott as a flawed character in that he antagonises Black Africans in his conduct regularly.
2. Cadres and supporters in PF and Opposition are getting emotionally worked up which ever way they see the situation.
3. There is great Rising of anger in the delay of Courts to put Party matters of play. The Supreme Court should have noted the reason Honourable Chalu made a decision not to hear Sampa. BECAUSE AS HE SAID IT WAS AN URGENT ISSUE IN THE TIMELINE OF ELECTION DATES. We needed clarity so as to end the Miles Sampa pointless challenge, which can only lead to PF missing their…
seems the owners of lusaka times have put a permanent anti-scott comment at the bottom using “patriot abroad”, such that who ever leaves a comment should see it…LOL cheap way of tryn to get at people…
may you remove it before i engage my friends from russia…otherwise your site will be down..take it or leave it
@easy
Why should I have my freedom of Speech removed by Russians?
Clearly my comments are getting to pro Scott’s which is a good thing for LT as it balances the site.
I expect you are the same poster as Mobile Gondwe who have threatened my Life. Don’t forget you can be traced by Security.
I don’t like Scott for his damage to my country. I am a Patriot. I will protest.
The bottom line is he is an annoying individual who is deeply divisive.
People are going to end up on the streets rioting.
Please to keep Zambia peaceful we need an ordered head in the Office of the President. Scott is not it. We cannot chance it to have him in office during the elections as emotions are heightened during this process. There will undoubtably be violence and a man such as Guy in office is a danger because he will not work with his cabinet, Central Committee and is not showing much respect to the Judiciary.
Generally we are all fed up of this mess.

I worked for the Head of Police in the City of London. If you continue to threaten online people who have clearly expressed their rights,; I shall pop in to see him and ask them to get LT to give your computer details over. It will be real easy, it will be at your cost.
Concentrate on debating not threatening people. Posting lines and one liners is not adding to debate.
I think everyone is familiar with proxy servers. Remember it’s happened before.
@Jessie wa mu town
Top level police intelligence now have access to intercept, capture threatening abusers in serious cases.
The fact is using a Proxy server proves you are up to no good in the first place. You should stand by what you say and conduct your postings within the law. Threatening peoples lives is not acceptable. I had a poster called Mobile Gondwe making remarks similar to those being investigated of a malicious Troll who is using private emails between myself and an important name. The matter is heading to High Court London soon. Sometimes people like to drop in personal attacks on private lives and that is not acceptable.
Why not win fair and square? Scott is doing the right thing. There should be some order. Lungu might win in court. Let the law take its course. Scott said he will support anyone who wins the court case – I don’t see anything wrong with that.
Oh my dear Zambia
Thinking very very hard.
I am taken aback that our Acting President is suggesting that a vote of no confidence equates to an act of treason. If what I am reading is true then this is absolute rubbish meant to threaten natives. Here is a list of British leaders that faced a vote of no confidence.
1. Lord North (1782)—This is considered to be the first motion of no confidence in history
2. John Russell, 1st Earl Russell (1866)

Iwe sankala, PF can do whatever they want in their useless party, as long as they keep their dirty hooves from the Republican Presidency which is currently determined by the Constitution – They can replace their leaders with frogs, & I bet not a single Zedian will mind!!
Edgar Lungu wouldn’t be making himself such a nuisance to the electorate if he knew that he was the favourite candidate. He is only hoping that it will be by show of hands again, as was the case in Kabwe recently. For a country as big as Zambia, however, that is far- fetched and mere wishful thinking. I wonder what kind of grey matter is beneath his skull?
What is treason about this? Dr. Scott has lost it. Acting President is not elected by People. Guy Scott was chosen by his colleagues through the Cabinet Act. He has no mandate from the Zambian People. Zambia is not being ruled by Guy Scott but collectively by all the members of the PF government Cabinet. Thats how the constitution is. Tomorrow one MP with support of one third of Parliament is enough to move a motion of impeachment. Thats what it all requires to get rid of this Guy Scott. Zambia deserves a better acting President either the Speaker or Acting Chief Justice til 20th January, 2015. If the PF MPs don’t do so then they don’t deserve to be in government. Guy has done them and Zambian people more harm.
Please. He is Acting President because he was Vice President when Sata died. It has nothing to do with the “Cabinet colleagues choosing him”. Try to get an education so you can be more successful in life than Lungu
If the same treason statement was directed at the opposition, they would have cried foul. Freedom of speech and assembly are fundamental. Whichever way Scott looks at it, the Ministers have no confidence in his leadership failure and vindictive mentality.
Thank you Dr. Guy Scott for standing up. In times like these. We need men like you to uphold our sacred constitution.
My biggest question is: WHY CAN’T THE ’14 LIGHT BEARERS’ RESIGN THEMSELVES. Since they can’t work with HE Dr. Scott, let them resign from Government and go flat out to campaign for EL. Let them ignore the court process. Since they are so convicted that their way is right, let them even ignore the filing in of nominations and move state house to blue nile lodge.
Who paid for that mineral water and drinks? I hope not Government.
Bushe Kola Foundation yabele ku foreign affairs? It is because ba Lungu bafuma ku Malawi?

Yes I am expecting a major reshuffle sometime soon!
Quite honestly these stories about PF have dried out on the laundry line, time to move on. The differences between the warring factions have been agonized ad nauseam for the past couple of weeks, it just gets tiring. Isn’t there a speeding train all these chaps can walk in front of so that they can stop defecating the face of Zambia like they are doing?
PF has the largest number of MPs, as a matter of urgency they need to mobilize themselves and take this case to Parliament and others can fly to meet SADC leaders. In case anyone was in doubt of his intentions, yesterday’s letter said it all – no respect for the rule of law/ Judges. He went ahead to conduct a general conference even when there was a court injunction in place. What rule of law is he talking about?
Let us campaign for the exit of these ministers. Some of them are not even elected MPs they depend on Kola Foundation.

END OF KOLA FOUNDATION.
The cabinet ministers are only acting this way because they know Scott is not a substantive President. He can’t undo appointments while he is acting. The cabinet are only assistants to the President ( Check Constitution ) They are only appointed to help him execute his executive powers. If the President chooses, he can function without a cabinet. If Scott had been President and the cabinet met to pass a vote of no-confidence in him, he would simply have fired them all. There is a different long process for un-seating a President which involves MP’s. Any other way, apart from through elections, is treasonable if it fails. Mixing party and govt. issues also shows that either the ministers choose to ignore the Constitution with impunity, or can’t read.
I think some guys are a let down in thinking. ubukopo, why? you are failing to see the difference between party matters and national matters; between PF and UPND matters. Why comment on PF matters if you want UPND and vise versa. If you do not like Lungu, just keep quiet and vote for HH, kwasila. Ukupa ba grade 7 as advisers, ebwafya.
Edgar Lungu, it would seem, irks to take on anyone. Let’s hope that does not include his wife. Like a Black Mamba, he is far much more vicious than a King Cobra. So far within PF, there is a trail of long-time serving faithful party members whom he has either viciously fired, hoodwinked or derailed some other way. That is not a good quality of a leader – not even a village headman. The guy is too quarrelsome to even be a leader of a local club. It’s unfortunate that some Zambians, those excited with him, don’t see his dark side.
I think the real question is WHY they want Scott to resign. He only has 33 days left as Acting President, and with limited powers. So what exactly would be achieved by his resignation?
Who do they plan to replace him with, and what justification can they give for it?
Do people honestly think they can pocket all the money in 33 days?
Or is there something more sinister going on, such as some kind of UNIP-style manoeuvre to avoid Lungu ever even facing a vote?
Ok. all things and done. i am former military person. I thing what i am saying is the late CIC, Commander in Chief left confusion. Thats why Lungu should be very careful to try and not continue his legacy.
Thats why I have no kind words for the late CIC. Why, any disciplined wife weather you a a widow or not can never stand for presidency. Anyany Guy scott is incharge coz of Lungu handing over vey fast. You guys are on there own.
Ka Lungu nika kawalala chabe, ka chakolwa ka funa kuba mupando.Fuseke!
@ Captain Thomas Sankara – You are comparing two different systems of govt. – Presidential and Westminster. Check my comment above, as regards the Zambian Constitution that is based on the Presidential system ( in reference to the issue of a vote of no confidence )
THIS IS WHY SATA STILL HAD GUY SCOT AS VP,EVEN THOUGH HE DIDN’T ACT WHEN HE WAS OUT.
bapompwe ukutumpa !!!!!!!!!
GS stay put and firm until 20th january.
reading some comments especially those from HH’s puppies, one fears for this nation. anyone supporting guy scott must be a useles with a slow punctured brain.
iwe high cadre, don’t insult others. you’re where you’re because of the work of the white man has done. even in Zambia we see progress where a white man is. look at all the compounds where there is no white man. what do you see there? Your chi Lungu is going no where and he will not rule Zambia. Finito
I TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH YOU ON THAT ONE.
WHITE OR BLACK OR YELLOW, WE ALL STAND EQUAL CHANCES OF DOING WELL…
SUCCESFULNESS KNOWS NO RACE.
INFERIORITY COMPLEX IS IN YOUR MIND – WORK HARD
The presence of ‘quite’ Alex Chikwanda, the Minister of finance among the ‘cabinet’ rebels is a clear testimony of the financial desperation of the PF for state funds for campaign purposes. Guy Lindsay Scott has successfully tightened the screws of the ‘Butala’ and unsigned cheques are piled up at Sir Alex’s table at the Ministry of finance and Guy has refused to endorse his signature.
After everything has been said and done, Scott and Charlotte will be the heroes here, to the extent of deserving the Nobel peace prize! The man appears to be firm and in charge! – Courteous of EL.
Dr Scott well done
Mr. Scott may not resign because of a dictatorial republican constitution, but if he is a normal human being, his conscious (if he has one at all) will never be free until his death. The vote of no confidence says a lot about his poor leadership qualities and he is a traitor whichever way one looks at the issue. Scott is the greatest embarrassment Zambia has had the misfortune to be ruled by.
Ati PF Ministers desperate for money…kikikikiki…..yaba !!! awe mwe. Now this Lungu who stole money from a client can’t be entrusted with public resources.
All these busters are foolish starting from Guy Scott to HH. We have seen how stupid PF is and how ka HH made his coffers full after selling the mines. Zambians must watchout, please don’t follow politics blindly. You fools don’t know that the army is taking a special interest when you keep on fighting like this. Let any fool be elected as president and watch and study him if he can be elected for a full term in 2016. What can one do in one year from now, don’t cheat yourselves that some special fool will do anything.
People, remember that those cabinet ministers only wanted Scott gone after he refused them access to govt machinery for use in PF campaigns. In short, they wanted to plunder our money and Scott said no! Any well-meaning patriotic zambian would welcome this move. We dont develop in zambia becoz we have ministers like these who plunder our resources for their own benefit. We need more people like Scott who will SAY NO TO PLUNDER!!
hey Guy nice to meet you
@158 Reloaded, did they use acid to wash your brain?
Agreed no government resources should be abused by the ruling party. But would it have been okay with you for Guy Scott to allow the abuse of state resources if his preferred candidate had prevailed?
That is the gist of the matter Mister, open your eyes. Scott is no saint at all, he is just as dirty as any other politician, provided his interests are served. I thought that over the three years of PF, Scott has spoken or acted sufficiently for you to judge his true character and his stand on various national issues?
BIG L IS DULL….CABINET APPOINTED GUY?
