William Harrington has described remarks attributed to vice president Guy Scott in yesterday’s edition of the Post newspaper against him and Kabwata Member of Parliament Given Lubinda as unwarranted, petty and very unbefitting of someone holding the high office of vice president anywhere in the world.
Mr. Harrington said that Dr. Scott’s statement that the Justice Rhoyda Kaoma led Tribunal had cleared Ms. Masebo over allegations of abuse of office is inaccurate and misleading as the Tribunal has found, among other things, that Ms. Masebo had no authority under the Zambia Public Procurement Act (ZPPA) to cancel the tender for the 19 Safari hunting concessions.
Mr Harrington, added that it was for this reason that Dr. Scott should in fact do the nation a favour by declaring interest in Ms. Masebo’s matter in particular and in the safari hunting business in general.
Mr. Harrington said that he will seek interpretation from the High Court as to what amounts to pecuniary advantage in the context of the Parliamentary and Ministerial Code of Conduct Act, in view of the tribunal findings against former Tourism Minister Sylvia Masebo.
Mr. Harrington said that he has since instructed his lawyers to study in greater detail the Tribunal’s report. He said that his intention to seek such interpretation from the High Court follows the Tribunal’s ignoring of the provision at Part 2, Section 3 (c) of the Parliamentary and Ministerial Code of Conduct Act.
He said that the provision clearly and emphatically states that a member shall be considered to have breached the code of conduct if he knowingly acquires pecuniary advantage or assists in the acquisition of pecuniary advantage by another person by exerting any improper influence in the appointment, promotion, or disciplining or removal of a public officer.
Mr. Harrington said that this was why he found it interesting that the Tribunal had found no evidence that Ms Masebo was in breach of the Act when she removed from office five Zambia Wildlife Authority (ZAWA) management officials.
He stated that by dismissing the five ZAWA management officials, Ms. Masebo in fact assisted other persons to acquire pecuniary advantage through salaries and other benefits that go with the appointments and contracts of service.
Dr Guy has been a liar like his master Chumbu Mushololwa. Muzungu wo pusa.
So true, I can’t believe he is even European.
@ talk sense
what makes you think europeans or white people in general dont tell lies? are they not human beings prone to the same factors of lying like you?
I am shocked when soulless characters like you believe everything and anything for as long as its said by ANY white person
Free yourself from mental slavery.
you are such a sorry sight that takes our country backwards
You know this sort of f.oolishness by e.g talk sense makes me wonder how inferior some people feel!!
Give it up Harrington. You are behaving like a d.og that is holding on to a bone that has lost its flavour .kekekekeke
For everyone who misunderstood my comment, I didn’t mean Other races never lie, they do. It’s a fact and record, African politics is mirred with lies, something you wouldn’t get away with in the western world where Scott’s roots are. Politics of lies here in the western wold means your political career is cut short.
@talk sense you are merely confirming your critics’ views on your
mental slavery. which western world are you referring to? The one
that gave us liars like Nixon of watergate fame, Reagan and
Thatcher who lied to the world that the ANC were terrorists,
Verwoed who said blacks could not rule themselves Hitler who lied
that the aryan race was superior, Come on man get off the white
people’s high horse! !!
Love thy neighbour as yourself is very imposible to fulfil because of irrationality of oneself and also irrationality of the neighbour. Do not trust anyone if in the first place you have a limit of trusting yourself. You make mistakes and the neighbour doubts himself too. Do not even trust your other party member for each and everyone is irrational. What they are thinking as correct now tomorrow they will change and think them wrong. You wasting your time trying to love your neighbour like yourself. Politicians are worse mammals to trust. They point accusing fingers at others and yet they know they cant trust their own self. Goodbye Masebo, goodbye Harrington, love neither of you as neighbours.
Why can’t this Guy go back to England to live in a dingy little flat where he belongs
Chimuzungu chopusa ichi!
This half cast Harrington is bent on wasting tax-payers money over personal vendettas. We know that this half-cast and his other half-cast Xen Vlahakis may have differed in their previous lives as human beings, and now they want to involve us in their personal wrangles. It is clear and proven, that Harrington, just like General Miyanda, are bored nonentities with nothing better to do. Please guys, GET A LIFE!
A point could be made without necessarily being racist and distasteful, WH has every right to waste tax payers money, as you put it, on ensuring that good governance prevails. Being a Cabinet Minister does not make you the fountain of wisdom, all others are just paupers with no logical thinking capacity, Masebo forgot that. I’d rather my money is wasted on putting in checks and balances, reminding these ministers that we watching them than it wasted on PF cadres like yourself, ba sakala nyongo, impupu imwe, ba shimwemwe mushibila nsala ba mambala! We are watching you, with all the dubious tenders you award yourselves, your day is coming.
I think you should stop this half caste nonsense, whoever you are. You are a racist that is using your colour as your passport. Harrington being coloured does not make him a non Zambian. It is ignorant people like you that are bringing trouble to our once peaceful nation. If you have nothing concrete to say, keep quiet and don t use colour and tribe in your mails.
imwe, do you know what being racist is? Racism is discrimination and power!!! If i called Harrington a half cast does not make me racist, because i do not have power to change in anyway his way of life. its like in a family, we can call each other names but still come together in sorrow and help each other. The only time, our name calling comes serious is when we say these bad things to each other and then practice them. so in times of sorrow, we dont come together, we dont help each other etc. The real racist is the whiteman, not black people. When he calls you a monkey, he treats you like one and feeds you peanuts (IMF,World Bank etc). you see what i mean, he has power to change your life coupled with his statements. Besides these so called coloreds think they are better than you!!!
So what does being half cast got to do with those vices you mention? The racism implied in your statement is that half castes are personal and wasters of taxpayers’ money. get a life yourself!
Mr Harrington, you surprise me, do you not have better things to waste your time on?
What better cause to fight for can there be, than to fight for justice and fairness in our broken system? How would you have felt if it was you whom Sylvia Masebo had fired unfairely; and had no money for fight back? Bo Harrington has put up a spirited fight on behalf of the helpless and the defenseless. He has the money and the heart to do so. That is what it means to be a human being. We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against SataNAs in high places.
kekekeke..we have no leaders in zambia..
I wonder what kind of a vice president we have who can say anything without thinking about the reactions from the public domain. Guy Scott as made many tremendous mistakes even going to an extent of telling the president that he does not listen to listen to … but I trust Mr Harrington will fix the matter to court if the ACC truely has cleared sister Masebo in indication of job prevention and bring shame to PF, the Ant Corruption Commissioner’ ruling as we have heard. ACC has made many mistakes in the past esp Kabimba’s rulling was what the public saw as un fare play. There tends to be a gravitational pull toward activity-focused measurement rather than on results.
Hello LT bloggers, sorry was away on pipeline inspection and was quite hectic.
Mr William Harrington the muzungu belela needs a job. Those hunting block businessmen sponsoring him will one day run away from him. Where does he get money to hire these damn expensive lawyers.
Iam beginning 2 wonder us 2 why sylvia masebo was not fired then when she made thoz blunders.Why did the powers that b bury thier faces in the sand when sylvia was aggrevating the law.
Supposing mr Harrigton did not rise the alarm the powers that b cld’ve led us 2 blv that Sylvia had acted within the law.
MMD was shown the exit bcz of not being transparent and PF seems 2 b walking the same path 2 self destruction.
I wld end to warn thoz in the corridors of power take heed.
Escort Scott back to Scotland. His hands are not clean for sure.
@ Mando, where can Guy Scott go? He is not known there in England. He will end up the, ” a Phiri anabwela …” way. His home is in Mpika or is it Mkushi?
This Muzungu wamusoko does not need to use such language to any person in that where. How can really a man compared to a dog?
This Chap i thought you have got what you wanted what’s the F****** do you still want from Masebo???
Sounding like a wounded buffalo!
Ba Harrington yu are missing the interpretation.
Others who are gaining monetary gain were not there when Masebo RIGHTLY fired those scamsters.
The judge could not afford to displease the appointing authority hence the contradictory judgement. Those judges were made to swear to support the pf dictatorship.
How hypocritical that some bloggers will profess to be purveyors of good governance, but then accuse someone who actually follows it up (Harrington) of wasting tax payers money. They then sink to a new low (including those making racist derogatory statements against Guy Scott, instead of addressing and rebutting his claims in a mature fashion) by suggesting that because Harrington is of mixed race, he is a lesser Zambian. How despicable! I hope you are not ‘the future leaders’, because then Zambia will not emerge from this ‘sink hole’ of deprivation for most of the people.
How were the famous 5 removed from office? Were they dismissed or retired or did they resign?
@talk sense you are merely confirming your critics’ views on your mental slavery. which western world are you referring to? The one that gave us liars like Nixon of watergate fame, Reagan and Thatcher who lied to the world that the ANC were terrorists, Verwoed who said blacks could not rule themselves Hitler who lied that the aryan race was superior, Come on man get off the white people’s high horse! !!
