VICE-PRESIDENT Guy Scott has challenged MMD chairperson for legal affairs George Kunda to substantiate claims that the Patriotic Front (PF) Government is using the fight against corruption to intimidate former leaders.
Dr Scott said Mr Kunda’s accusations were baseless and meant to divert attention from the fight against corruption.
The vice-president said the Government had seized cash, bicycles, motor vehicles, hotels, houses and several other properties suspected to have been stolen.
He wondered whether seizure of properties worth billions of Kwacha could be intimidation when former leaders who acquired them had no capacity to finance construction of high-class buildings.
He said the country witnessed one of the most expensive campaigns in the history of the country, undertaken by the MMD.
Dr Scott said instead of making accusations against PF, Mr Kunda should help explain how the MMD acquired the resources.
Mr Kunda on Tuesday told journalists that the PF Government was vindictive and targeted former government officials to silence the opposition.
He urged the former leaders to brace for hard times as the Government was seeking to arrest and victimise them.
But the vice-president said Mr Kunda should speak with facts and explain what security wings should do where cash, bicycles and other properties were being recovered.
The former vice-president also said the Government has set up commissions of inquiry to get to the bottom of questionable transactions.
“Let Mr Kunda say whatever he wants to say but the fight against corruption will continue. The Katundu (property) is there. It has been recovered but we don’t know where it came from,” Dr Scott said.
He said the Government has never fought the MMD from inception as alleged by Mr Kunda and that President Michael Sata had embraced every political party in the governance of the nation.
He said the appointment of MMD MPs to positions as deputy ministers was part of the plan to promote unity.
Dr Scott said if President Sata was president for PF members only, many people who served in the MMD would not have been involved in the governance of the nation.

Shutup you swine fever thief ,if you were in Scotland you would have been on welfare benefits because you are unemployable due to your corrupt record.
Tell us where you got money for your frail devil to fly around in the chopper.
We are still waiting for answers on the renovation of the former state house by Appollo Enterprise owned by another corrupt chap Alexander Chikwanda a cousin to Satana,tell us please.
@1,,,YOU R SUCH AN ***** LIKE YO FILTHY LEADER KUNDA…..U DONT KNW ANYTHN BT SHIT OF HH AND THAT OF KUNDA TH MMD….GO SATA COLLECT MORE STOLEN PROPERTIES,REPOSSES WHAT BELONGS TO THE STATE SO THAT WE SHARE THE OUR ZAMBIAN WEALTH TOGETHER……LONG LIVE SATA AND YO GOVT..
u are a fool smoking gun,a fool ull of nothing but idioitic manners.
swine smoke gun imbwa yamuntu who are you to criticise wat the security wings are doing? are you still mouning the sept 2011 defeat?
kolwe mpili who only knows to jump from one branch to the other.chek your brain you have fits thats why you talk like a MUMBWE? Stanyo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The property has been recovered. Where was it lost? That is your duty Mr Scott. Having property is not a crime. Those who feel the property was acquired through theft should give evidence. Asking them to explain the source means they are being put on defence and hence assume guilty before the charge. Hand back the property if you do not have proof that they were stolen.
They are still investigating, you plank! How do you expect anybody to build a strong case that can stand in court without seizing and securing evidence? And you expect complicated investigations as these to be completed in two weeks just because you MMD sycophants are demanding it? Be real man!
Ba Objective There is a charge that arises out of an individual having more property or wealth than his salary or income gives him. You can be charged for living beyond your means and then its up to you to prove that all that is being suspected is within your means
Guy Scott roasts George Kunda—-mama kumushi uko this means:Guy Scott asalula George Kunda muli saladi!!!!!!!
Smoking Gun and your friend Objective you bitter fools. How can you support Red lip kunda who up to now can not explain where mmd got money to mount such and expensive campgain. VP is Zambian and dont bring in this racist thinking of scotland
People who insult here are real cowards. If brought live to a discussion you can see how timid they are. Am not MMD nor PF but i Know that the previous regime was corrupt and investigating them is the best move. So that those who are innocent are vindicated and the guilty ones go where they belong. So you want the goverment to just pretend that all is well i say no to this. If GUY SCOT OR HE MCS store surely why did the previous regime fail to arrest them. SATA was even teargassed at DEC, his cars taken. Investigations must continue.
Guy Scott must  be investigate for the Swine fever scandal he was dismissed on from Ministry of Agriculture under Chiluba. As long as his theft from Zambian farmers is not investigated, this is circus without policy orientation will continue to be an act of plunder to rob Zambians through unconstitutional acts. Its vindictive exercise without vision or foresight bound to burn the same plunders abusing it.Â
Nshinya Shi.ttizen, you are really hateful and bitter. PF is ruling now. Your rantings will not change a thing. Your party stole,and we kaponyas want it back.
Number 1 and 2…learn to be objective…
IT IS FOOLISH TO INSULT VERY FOOLISH INDEED. JUST ARTICULATE. THE LESSER INSULTS THE GREATER AND NOT VICE VERSA. Written in block letters for our friends
Kunda is feeling the heat. We arewarning you guys who want to be rich through stealing GRZ’s money that this time we will jail you squarely. Just get rich by your hard working and not by stealing poor peoples money. Please Sata and Pf step up the chase, you are too slow. we want to see all thieves jailed. Ba kabwa imwe you have killed poor Zambians.
Senior femo femo do you have an idea on how to control Swine fever? What was wrong with Guy Scott culling all the pigs in the area where the disease was reported? Scientifically culling of pigs around a defined area of swine fever outbreak is the way to go unless you senior femo femo have another idea
All you citizens questioning GS on Kunda, what have you got to say for the massive iregularities that rae being uncovered as regard to resources use by the MMD leaders? Are you saying that it is fine for leaders to divert public resources to private use? What mental state are you in to approve such thefts?
By the way if Guy scott has stolen why didnt chiluba, mwanawasa or Banda take him to court for his wrong?
@SMOKIN GUN,,,YOU R SUCH AN ***** LIKE YO FILTHY LEADER KUNDA…..U DONT KNW ANYTHN BT SHIT OF HH AND THAT OF KUNDA TH MMD….GO SATA COLLECT MORE STOLEN PROPERTIES,REPOSSES WHAT BELONGS TO THE STATE SO THAT WE SHARE THE OUR ZAMBIAN WEALTH TOGETHER……LONG LIVE SATA AND YO GOVT..
but we have a lot of lazaros on this blog,anyway most of these critics are beneficiaries of the collapsed resime so nima sour grapes.muzaciona,five yrs nipatali,ife ma innocent tili gada ngati tinalela kale.but fo yu nitu diarrhoea daily.
INSULTING SHOWS HOW, SHALLOW MINDED, MYOPIC, UNCULTURED AND UNEDUCATED ONE IS. PEOPLE AREÂ INTERESTEDÂ IN CONSTRUCTIVE CONTRIBUTIONS THAT WILL HELP OUR NATION DEVELOP. INSULT ONLY IF YOUR HEAD IS EMPTY.
Wouldn’t you call all you have just said an insult? you are simply perpetuating the problem in a different get up.
Imwe ba pushi mwebalelemba criticising Guy Scott. Muli ba MMD ayini? Muli muchibe bangwele. Tuleisa, just wait. Kuti mwakula ama hotel imwe ba kambwanga imwe? Ninshi ulupiya mwafumishe kwisa?
@13 Nkonshe pa Bwato,GK is a refined attorney who has made his money honestly,he will not be distracted by these cheap devilish PULL HIM DOWN syndrome.Viva MMD.
Number 1 is YAYA
Why cant you rush the investigations and lock that man up id f he stole. You the PF government are giving him the opportunity to continue bluffing by delaying these cases. Start by removing RB’s immunity and then everything will be clear.
before criticising others try to look at what they are saying and why..if i pick on #2 i think he/she is saying the burden of proof is on the accuser not the accused,its one thing to know that someone stole its another to prove it in the courts of law,so we should not be excited by property seizures, the courts might reverse them if there isnt sufficient proof or we will go another 7 years without convicting anyone like in the Mwanawasa admin,katele kalumba and his friends are a good example….remember Katumbi and his chest of emeralds which the task force was has seizedÂ
Gentlemen,
If these guys were real business men why didnt they acquire the property before joining govt? The rate at which they have gotten rich is too fast for a genuine businessman!I am sure they are not more intelligent than other businessmen who have maintained their rate of steady growth. Let them declare how they acquired that wealth full stop!That is is what people want to know because they were presiding on people’s matters in govt and could have used that to their advantage which in Law creates conflict of interest!
@RB ZAMBIA
banoko salt kuchi nyoh,in your sober mind who is more filth and corrupt between george kunda and guy scott?maybe you were at foetus stage when this boer was awarding himself bogus compersations after slaughtering his swines under the guise of swine fever leaving others in the cold who suffered the same fate including poor villagers.maybe you don`t know the man was one time minister of agriculture,
guy scot is the only PF MP who is mature all he does is work en not politicing,
Simple question… Who is more corrupt? Guy Scott or George Kunda?
Guy Scott roasts George Kunda………………………………Where is the roasting in this article?
…the only good white man is a DEAD one…
I hate damn racists like @Smoking gun, they are simply nauseating!!!!
The Fake kwacha saga is an example of Sata and PF intimidating MMD. Same with Musokotwane’s double salary. So what is Guy Scot saying here. A lot of Commissions of Inquiry are politically motivated with predetermined outcome. While the corruption fight is welcome, it is clear that Sata is being vindictive too. What we need is to let the law take its course instead of using information govt has to publicly accuse and judge people in the media. E.g this is what they are doing to Dr N Mumba.
Also, has Sata invited some UPND to be in govt, like he did to MMD? If not, isn’t that vindictiveness coming from the fall out of the PACT?
You are obviously behind Zambia’s current afairs, what cave have you been hibanating in? You didn’t hear/read only a few weeks ago that UPND refused to allow any of its members (MPs) to serve in the PF govt?!!!!!!
Kunda must shut his mouth. He doesn’t know what he is doing because he is corrupt. He is trying to shield all the currupt ministers in his government. He too must be investigated.The PF government must not leave any stone un turned. Go through every ministry and see what was going on. Zambia is a rich country but we are poor because of corruption in high places. We want every one who is going to be found with a case to answer, answer it and if found by the court of law quilty face the law;
Ice femo femo Sata did invite UPND MPs to serve in the government but they refused. to be precise jack mwiimbu was supposed to be southern province minister.
@Cruel Man I am sure you were born out of a relationship between ba noko and a dog. how else can you be thinking using your ass? Grow up racism will never get your stupi.d ass anyway. Your Red lip Kunda is one of the outstanding thieves and soon his ass will rot in Jail
@Smoking gun you are a REAL DOG. Idioot.
More rubbish from the GAY SCOTSMAN. Â Go back home to Scotland, honkey!
Ur such as gay loser! Why don’t u change ur name to “Chief douchebag!!’
CRUEL MAN and SENIOR SHI:TTIZEN are bitter and vulgar destroyers clowning for political dinasours. Myself I dont let them bother me as I know only their own types take them seriously, and they are a minority getting extinct. I only read their posts to see how low human absurdity can sink. Don’t be bothered by them.
Justice delayed is justice denied.Give red liped george real justice.let him go rot in jail instead of making noise like a tin.we want to listen to developmental talks from HE.MCS nt tht thief and lier.th lips are all red coz of too much lies
@33, You are a chief turd indeed, go back to ZWD were you came from!!!Â
Yeah! Lets start a “Take them back to Zambia Watchdog” campaign from here.
Anagula bwanji katundu? Let them just answer instead of madandaula
Smoking gun and Objective @ 1 and 2 above sound like they too are thieves like the MMD leaders. Thieves will always fight back.
The guilty are always afraid. The language here is so sickening, especially from those who do not seem to like what the government is doing on behalf of us the people. Those who are against the president will never like what he does even if it is in the interest of the nation, even if he does it as a patriotic Zambian rather than as PF leader. There are some of us here who cannot distinguish this. During RBs rule Zambia qualified among the top three most corrupt countries in the world. Only people with such rotten language would not see how bad that is internationally. That language and really must be stamped out of this site. Racism just shows how cheap we are while the world admires how accommodating we are. Only a fool is wise in his own eyes.
@34 I like that approach but unfortunately, there are many people reading bloggings here. I wonder what they are thinking of such men as are using that nauseating language. On RB and his clones, What president worth His salt would allow a Nigerian Bank on his soul? This people were willing to sell Zambia for their gains. Let the law take its course for others to learn. No need for sour grapes please!Â
Ba LT Perhaps you should just delete Smoking Gun and the responses because they are all leading only one way to more insults and no beneficial discussion
@ Dr Obatala 18 you have moral right to give me names you swine okay,
@ Ikandulwa 31 satana himself is a theif thats why hes fighting harshly records are there for all to see ask Fred Mmeembe you wanker.
I can see that 1 and 2 and the rest supporting Kunda have a very short memory or are not Zambians. The fact that u dont feel the way us who are resident in Zed feels means to me than you are a foreigner when it comes to current affairs. You must be very blind to support Kunda. Wake up guys. if you have the interest of the nation (Zambia) at heart, you would not support Kunda who almost plunged the judiciary system into the deep ocean.
smoking gun.I think you should go back to grade 7.Guy Scott is a Zambian.Dont bring this racist thing.Think from your head not kumatako.
