Acting President Guy Scott has disclosed that government was holding discussions with all mining firms on the prudent utilisation of profits from mining activities.

Dr. Scott said government wants to ensure that all profits gained from different mining activities in the country benefit both the mine owners and the workers.

He has since urged mine owners to cooperate with government in its quest to ensure that there is improved service delivery in the mining sector.

Dr. Scott said this when he addressed a rally at Lubelenga grounds in Chililabombwe district today.

And the Acting President has urged the people of Chililabombwe to vote for the Patriotic Front (PF) candidate Edgar Lungu in the January 20, 2015 presidential elections in order to maintain continuity of developmental projects in the country.

Speaking at the same rally, Mufulira Member of Parliament (MP) Yamfwa Mukanga said the PF was the only party that knows the problems affecting all Zambians hence its programme of embarking on various projects to develop the whole country.

And Roan MP Chishimba Kambwili said the construction of a district hospital, a youth resource centre and the upgrading of roads in Chililabombwe district was a clear testimony of government’s commitment to improving the lives of people in the district.

Mr. Kambwili said the PF was the only party that still has a majority following and urged the people of Chililabombwe to remain strong, consistent and not allow themselves to be cheated by any opposition political party leader.

The rally was also attended by Nchanga MP Wilbur Simuusa, Chililabombwe MP Esther Banda, PF Secretary General Davis Chama and several other senior party officials.

And Acting president Guy Scott says government will not be intimidated by management at Barrick Gold Lumwana Mine that has threatened to shut down operation on January 1 following the introduction of a new mining tax regime.

Dr Scott has now challenged the Canadian mining giant to provide accurate information on the operation in Zambia.

He said that Barrick Gold should even share their profits with the people of Zambia.

Dr Scott said government is discussing with mining firms to see how best problems facing the mining sector can be resolved.

    • I understand people of chililabombwe aka Bankcroft have a new hospital built under PF.

      IFINTU NI LUNGU

      Konse uko ku Lubengele

    • Timely massage to the mines… Once you dig the ore out of the ground it is gone. If we do not benefit now we will never benefit.

    • Wasting time!

      20 days left until PF is democratically kicked off!
      A Hero of Humanity is what people need and want.
      Counting down.
      Edgar Lungu is a drunkard and has no vision, no wonder he sneaks into other countries without notifying the president.
      Surely Scott is saying, ” vote for Lungu” as your own and country’s arteriosclerosis risk. We know Scott its just formality, deep down you know that a Hero of Humanity is the need and want of the people.
      Patiently waiting to kick off PF lunatics in dwellings of denial.

    • DONT BE CHEATED Guy Scott’s MOVES are ALL ABOUT STATESMANSHIP. He can NEVER and will NEVER SUPPORT or emphasis tht NAME CALLED LUNGU.

      FROM TODAY and hence forth Scot will NEVER SHARE A podium with Lungu, in ALL these campaigns, who has a BRAIN DAMAGE due to excess alcohol drinking.

      He is JUST EXPECTING FEW PROJECTS they did with HIS COMRADE Sata

    • hahahahahaEL supporters…..!!!DONT BE CHEATED Guy Scott’s MOVES are ALL ABOUT STATESMANSHIP. He can NEVER and will NEVER SUPPORT or emphasis tht NAME CALLED LUNGU.

    • Infintu Ni Lungu! Copperbelt, Northern, Luapula, Eastern, Lusaka, Central Provinces. All PF needs is for the base to vote. As analyzed by external observers on HH’s Wikipedia profile, his party lacks structures at grassroots level to engineer an outright win!

    • This is what PF – provincial secretary for Eastern province said about people in Eastern province.

      “They [Easterners] focus on petty issues they know are going to be sorted. Don’t make decisions that you will end up regretting in the end,” he said(Chilufya).

      Surely If people complain about late payments then they are petty?

      PF is a devil ‘s organisation which needs to be booted out of power no matter what.

    • This Sicotti is weak mwe! Lungu is the defence minister and fimofimo then he sneaks out of the country defying all ministerial protocols and goes to Rwanda to meet a wanted war crime criminal Kagame. Kagame is a notorious coup engineer and yet, our defence forces, intelligence etc are quiet about. Are they part of this chess game then? How can a minister of defence for christ’s sake go AWOL and life continues as per normal without a challenge? I totally agree with Tayali about this clandestine activities this Lungu is auctioning. Yes people might say the same with HH but Lungu is a minister bound by the ministerial code and being paid by tax-payers money. Sicotti is scared to challenge him besides he is a suspended Vice President of his Party. What a fallacy.

    • VIVA !! H.E EDGAR LUNGU

      Let the Barking Dogs continue to back ………it’s all the way to Plot 1

      EDGAR LUNGU PRESIDENT JANUARY 2015

      ONE ZAMBIA ! ONE NATION !

    • PRESIDENT EDGAR CHAGWA LUNGU has been cautious in his campaign messages. All his promises are feasible and backed by clear steps of what is being done and what the next steps are. He has a well-crafted and realistic development agenda.

      2015 vote PF(Edgar)

      I thank you

    • Indeed, Ifintu ni Lungu, but Umuntu ni HH. Ifintu could be anything, even rubbish could be ifintu who is Lungu.
      Vote HH. Viva HH.
      By the way Guy Scott is under-siege. It’s like he is campaigning under gun point from the Lungu camp.

  1. Dont vote for someone has never been a leader. Not even a class monitor.

    Dont use money as a winnin formular.

    Dont use confusssion among your friends as a winning formular.

    Dont use death or illness as a winning formular.

    We love hh and we want him to enjoy good health even as the election results come out on 2112015

    • HH sits on 8 different boards of directors and all those companies are doing very well. You can not compare him to some drank that does not own even a tomato stand at soweto.

    • DONT BE CHEATED Guy Scott’s MOVES are ALL ABOUT STATESMANSHIP. He can NEVER and will NEVER SUPPORT or emphasis tht NAME CALLED LUNGU.

      FROM TODAY and hence forth Scot will NEVER SHARE A podium with Lungu, in ALL these campaigns, who has a BRAIN DAMAGE due to excess alcohol drinking.

      He is JUST EXPECTING FEW PROJECTS they did with HIS COMRADE Sata

    • @7 YOU ARE TALKING FOR EL. OR DID YOU JUST FORGET? IT’S HH THAT PROSPERS ON SOMEONES DEATH. UPND ARE NOW WISHING FOR LUNGU TO DIE. IFINTU NI LUNGU FOR CONTINUITY AND THEREFORE, PROSPERITY.

      EL2015 YOU KNOW WHERE TO VOTE.

  2. I will be with you , and the Zambian people will be with you. We do not vote for money!
    We vote for peace and Development!
    Go Go EL

  3. The thugs are still busy shoving and pushing Scott at gun-point to campaign for Kamina Misa. It won’t work, people have already made up their minds, it’s HH, not imfwa yenda again!

    • Mwaba11

      The choice is clear.

      HH is talking about renewing Zambia [Umunthu]
      EL is talking about renewing the party [ifintu]

      *****

  4. I like GS. He follows the law. He has said no use of GRZ resources during campaign. He is doing exacatly that. See that chopa in the background. It is was used to get GS to Chilies only, from airport he used a PF Toyota Corolla.

  5. “…And Roan MP Chishimba Kambwili said the construction of a district hospital, a youth resource centre and the upgrading of roads in Chililabombwe district was a clear testimony of government’s commitment to improving the lives of people in the district….”.

    Guys, I fail to understand how this becomes a unique campaign message to citizens. Roads, hospitals, schools etc have been constructed in Zambia by all governments since independence and even before. Isn’t this and carrying out other development projects a basic function of all governments?

    Is Chishimba and PF telling us that an HH, or Chipimo, or Nawakwi led government will discontinue those things? If anything, HH and others say that they will do more and do it better than PF within the available resources, aren’t they?

    • Ati HH will do better? Ichintu, chintu umwene. How can i be promised something that i have not seen i leave something i have seen?

    • How can someone who has never even been a class monitor to vote for him?
      Ichintu chintu umwene

      IFINTU NI LUNGU CHABE ; EL CLASSICO

    • THE WAY YOU USED TO INSULT SATA TELLS THE WHOLE STORY THAT YOU WILL NEVER CONTINUE WITH SATA’S PROGRAMS. SO DON’T CHEAT PEOPLE THAT YOU WILL CONTINUE SATA’ PROGRAMS- ARE JUST USING SATA’S NAME TO WIN THE PRESIDENCY. THEE ONLY ONE WHO WILL CONTINUE SATA’S LAGACY AND GOOD DEEDS IS A PF CANDIDATE WHO IS CURRENTLY, EDGAR LUNGU. SO, PEOPLE DON’T COME AND SAY YOU WEREN’T WARNED. VOTE EDGAR LUNGU.

    • Ba “Sober economist” I think you are a drunk economist. What meaningful developmental projects did the FTJ government carry out?

    • @Robin I saw the roads that were tarred in Kabwata when Sata was MP. A few months later they were full of pot holes. I don’t know if they’ve been tarred now. Wait a few months. These so called developments of roads will be a disaster and we will be paying back the loans.

  6. lets stick to it and if some leave those who will come back and agree to pay we have a better deal and the future is bright.

  7. IFINTU NI LUNGU………We need to finish what we started and still continue in 2016 and possibly in 2021. Ifintu ni action not ukubwata bwata.
    The chaps are using illness and death as a campaign strategy. TEchiiii………

  8. A drunkard to be president and has no vision? Impossible!
    PF are having the last kicks of their charlatan pathetic party. In 20 days time, Proven Failures (PF) will be deeply buried.
    Never trust PF and voting for Lungu is suicide.

    • What is wrong with voting for someone who drink beer?What we need is actions “Things to be done” not campaign of character/Individual attacks.

    • Paulo Dicanio,
      There is a difference between a drunkard and one who drinks beer.
      Typical PF cadre, no scope!
      In 20 days time, this PF’s cadreism will be buried.
      Surely drinking beer and drunkard are not the same. A country will only produce drunkenness and no action because Edgar Lungu is visionless according to himself.
      Remain in your dwellings of denial!

    • Paulo Dicanio

      You want to see the difference between a person who drinks beer and a drunkard?

      There is a man in a grey suit with a red tie and red hank.
      Then there is a man right behind him.
      Do you notice the difference?

  9. On September 23, 2009 Lusaka Times reported that “..more than ten Sinohydro workers in Siavonga District have resigned from the Chinese company with immediate effect…..
    And those that have remained at the Chinese company……to ensure that safety measures are put in place…….the fire that swept through Kariba North Bank power station…..Sinohydro a company that has been contracted by ZESCO to expand the power station by adding two generators…….”.

    There we are Ladies and Gentlemen, if you required proof that Kariba power station extension was not started by PF as they claim, not even itezitezi. PF, learn to give credit where it is due.

  10. Ba scott, not long ago you were been insulted by Kambwili, now today they want you to campaign, leave them, ifwe ni HH, chabe, those developments any president can start them and another will finish them. No garantee , that 2015, you will be there. NO, it’s on going process

  11. The problems of PF is fights within and no one trust who. It is a confused village. No respect for each other and kasauntu is too much. Chililabombwe go for PF as the whole Zambia says PF umusebanya. They almost fought their own sister Masebo this morning, shame na shame.

    PF lelo ine temayo I have vomitted her, I am an adopted child for UPND.

    • You can vomit your lungs if you want. After all you are even a voter you just yapping puke. As for Masebo, let her joint Rainbow party. And how come non of you has said anything about Sylvia’s health?

  12. all roads leads to Eddy Chagwa Lungu. ifintu ni lungu meaning ,everything for now is about Lungu , the fame about him is just too much he is even beating HH the man who has been in the game for close to decade. so wekabepwa muntu wandi Ni Lungu fye apa

  13. The base will vote PF. HH will need to poll at least 700,000 votes, a feat never done by the UPND. In the height of popularity, the UPND scored 506,896 votes. I call regional support numbers!

  14. @ ZW;
    DIVIDED HOUSE: PF CADRES ATTEMPT TO BEAT UP MASEBO
    Chongwe Member of Parliament Silvia Masebo escaped lynching from PF cadres after word went round that she was visiting Senior Chieftainess Nkomesha.
    The PF cadres who have put up a campaign camp 200 metres from the Palace stormed the palace to physically fish out Masebo but alert police officers from Chongwe Police rescued her using the back door.
    PF Chairperson in Chongwe one Mr Kachepa confirmed that the cadres attempted to physically attack Masebo and was only saved by quick police action.

    SURELY, PF AND YOU EXPECT TO WIN LIKE THIS? BETTER TO THRO MY VOTE IN MMD IF UPND WAS NOT PRESENT.

  15. One thing I like about the PF is there resolve when it comes to implementing what they believe is in the best interest of this country. Mr. President, do not be intimidated by these multi nationals who always threaten of pulling outwhenever we have a by election. They can go to hell. We shall find another investor. If we do not in your time PF we are comforted that the copper and gold that they are mining at Lumwana does not get rotten. Another generation will come and find a better investor other than these thieves

  16. HH and his wasted maneouvres in Northern Province. Please see the pictures from Mpulungu and tell me Lungu is not carrying the province! Now as they say, “Sela tubombeko!”

  17. Level headedness is what all zambian require.it is so sad to see how busy people are insulting each other here.

    I saw this documentary about ‘Stealing Africa – why poverty’.

    My heart bled with pain and to know HH was also a part in the rushy selling of the mines only for Zambia to be in the state it is in today,I feel I can never give that man a vote even at gunpoint.

    Go go go EL and continue with PF Programes.

    • You would not have minded had the contract been awarded to a foreigner who would have taken the money back to his or her home country.

      Better somebody else than our own. How nice!

  18. ZAMBIA is not a laboratory for experiments and so if a person has never held any public office at a lower lever such as councillor, ward chairman or MP cannot vie for the highest office, it’s suicidal for any country.
    So fellow countrymen, be ware, Mr Sata constantly warned us on this matter and we should heed his advise. All past presidents have the following credentials:

    1. KK, freedom fighter and founder of UNIP
    2. Chiluba, labour leader
    3. Mwanawasa, MP and State Consel
    4. RB freedom fighter and MP
    5. SATA, councillor, ward chairman, MP, PF founder

    So the next and sixth president must possess one or two of above attributes,
    My take therefore is EDGAR Chagwa Lungu, councillor & Chawama MP, Acted president on three occasions.

    This experience is important.

    Vote…

    • You want to listen to Sata?

      All those people you have listed were wretched!
      They individually and collectively were/are responsible for our current situation of arrested development (50 years and counting!)

      Moot point!

  19. I can waste my time voting for the embaersy park in waiting.

    HH is the answer.

    Frankly speaking i can be happy if Hon Kachasu Chibuku died today.

    i hate people who are ant-christ and broinging Islamic sharia Law
    bank.

    ALL is happening b4 he wins, but if he wins (God forbids) Hon Chibuku can even declare Zambia an Islamic Country.

    To hell with your Boko Haram In Zambia Leader.

  20. Jane Bwalya Mulenga* Fake Bemba names as most bantustan people are doing* Shame on you! unchristian traits of wishing death on others< BACK TO SENDER!Anyway, Not surprising that its coming from a free mason supporter.

    • @Austin2021
      just to humour you, suppose this were to happen, this would help the country how??? And is this your focus, this crying?

  21. Scott campaigning for PF does not change the the whole equation of buffoonery in the PF. Scott has been kicked, spat on and ridiculed in public by the Lungu clique. Scott is a spineless old man who’s literally counting his days as acting President. He knows he has squandered he’s chance to enter the annals of Zambian history as a great transitional leader. And as for Lungu, he’s basically being used as a Trogan Horse, or in simpler terms a “spare tire” to get a broken clique to its destination. Lungu will be of no consequence to the vultures once there destination is reached. As a matter of fact his name should rather be Edgar”spare tire” Lungu. Lungu does not no where he came from, where he’s at and worse still , where he’s heading. He’s totally lacks vision. These are facts…

  22. Guys, EDGAR Lungu is the next and sixth h President of ZAMBIA. There is no two ways about this. Let’s just go flat out and ensure that we do not only defeat these chaps in UPND but teach them a political lesson they will never forget.

    I expect MMD which PF removed from power to be bitter but they have shown maturity and respect for PF. This HH needs to be walloped and buried on 20 January 2015, he is too pompous and no respect for the MIGHTY PF.

    Edgar Lungu ALL THE WAY TIL 2021

    • You sound silly saying “There is no two ways about this.”

      There is an election yet to come, with 11 possibles. Capish??

  23. I think GBM is now having shiki Polomia

    A massive thank you to the people of chililabombwe for turning up in your thousands to listen to the word of development.
    You braved the rains for the love you have for our party, we won’t let you down
    Ifintu ni lungu

    2015 vote PF(Edgar)

    I thank you

    • One simple self-made multi-millionaire whose defiance of nonsense can be equaled only to that of George Mpombo. Both quit from very top positions based on principle.

      However, unlike George, GBM is still rich! He does not need government hand outs.

  24. Edgar Lungu rocks Kaputa it was a mammoth rally whilst in Sida it was misery on HH.

    TWO DOVES WERE PRESENTED TO H.E. EDGAR LUNGU AS SIGN OF WISDOM AND BLESSING

    AKALI TABALANDA SANA
    PA BWATOOOOO VIVA EDGAR LUNGU

  25. PF machine at work. GBM was too heavy to make it float. Now that he has come out the boat is floating very well with Obama the captain

  26. Scotty, I understand you’re just posturing……come on now…..we’re waiting for you……Sylvia’s done it…….GBM’s done it……come, come Scotty..

  27. Dear Guy Scott hope you are well. On a serious note what are you doing? The same Edgar Lungu who dragged you in the mud is the one you’re claiming people vote for? The same PF cadres who came to your farm threatening you and your family which most of us stood on your behalf saying they were trespassing and you had the right to use a firearm if they proceeded. We don’t understand your motives. Are these people threatening your livelihood? Please Scott don’t make the mistake we all made voting for PF and vote wisely. Its about moving a nation forward and an alcoholic and a drunk is not capable of doing that. What does your lovely wife Charlotte Scott say about all of this? Wishing you both a Happy New Year.
