VICE-PRESIDENT Guy Scott has said the on-going road construction projects will be reviewed as part of the new Government’s roadmap to track the levels of corruption and promote transparency in the governance of the country.
Dr Scott said in Lusaka yesterday that the Food Reserve Agency (FRA) was also on the list of institutions to be audited to determine the levels of transparency in paying farmers
He said contractors working on the roads should not be jittery if they did not engage in questionable contracts and urged Zambians to give the new Government chance to work on its promises.
Dr Scott said there were reports that some contractors were given jobs worth K2 billion per kilometre, which he described as irregular.
He said the Patriotic Front administration wanted all the matters dealt with so that in cases where irregularities were detected, the law should take its course.
The vice-president said the Government would not cancel any contract if there was no corruption involved in the process of awarding tenders.
He also said FRA would be audited to determine the levels of transparency in paying farmers.
“There will be a lot of inquiries as we go to work. We want to confirm how much FRA really owes the farmers and how the money for the farmers is generally being accounted for,” Dr Scott said.
Meanwhile, some MMD and United Party for National Development (UPND) members of Parliament (MPs) have rejected a scheme in which the two political parties want to launch an impeachment motion against President Michael Sata when Parliament resumes sittings.
Dr Scott said the Government had been receiving delegations of MPs who had made it clear that they would not support the motion if it was called.
He said the ruling party was receiving a lot of good will, adding that it was clear that the bills in Parliament would have support from independent MPs, MMD and UPND.
Dr Scott said the eight nominated MPs, some MMD MPs who had been appointed as deputy ministers and the ones he described as progressive would work with the ruling party to fend off attempts to frustrate the Government.
He said the Government wanted to fight corruption, reduce poverty and pass the Freedom of Information Bill in Parliament and wondered what sense it made to fight such efforts.
Dr Scott was commenting on the Post lead story yesterday that revealed that former president Rupiah Banda and UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema held a meeting to finalise their parties voting pact in Parliament.
[Times of Zambia]
Zambia please K2bn for 1 kilometer when in other countries it is $100,000 for the same ! kilometer. Smells corruption. Where are your consciences?
I second Dr. Scott when he questions those trying to fight the Government which wants to fight corruption, reduce poverty and pass the Freedom of Information Bill in Parliament, where is the sense indeed to fight such efforts?
Times of Zambia?
HH Lost his Chance, most of his voters ie Southern will vote for Magande come 2016. which means 2016 will have four parties as follows 1) PF 2) Magande’s 3) ADD and Fourth MMD the rest will be very minor parties
So what you are saying is, southern province is only going to vote for a Tonga,? Magande may get your tribal vote, but the rest of Zambia votes national, so Magande coming out 2nd is a joke mate
Dont mislead people! You cant predict no matter how wise! the people will decide
Compare that to the price of a pig which you paid yourself *****

The under five party is a pain in the asss. RB should go back to the farm other than frustrating a government that should have arrested him by now.
can anyone tell me why is HH so bitter and jealousy that he can not upto now congratulate Sata? all we hear is that he is planning shit with the loser RB
The man is simply a bitter loser. What has Sata done to him sure mwe bantu for him not to even say congratulations? What sort of bitterness is this?. Some us ex-supporters of UPND-Mazoka now turned PF will never ever consider voting UPND with its HH as President – no matter what HH will do. Please try some one else e.g. Gary Nkombo or Vitalis Mooya. We don’t hate UPND but its President.
HH a bitter man
:(Get to sleep my friend or stay awake nothing wrong with the renaming of airports,we do not care about the Germans who may not know how to pro..kk.We do not live for Germans,we are happy to recognize the sacrifice of our liberation leaders like KK and others.Renaming the airports is a wonderful link to our past as reach to our future.Thank you mr president for the thoughtful action.
I have said it time and again…and i shall say it again, National leadership is not for the uneducated…the main reason why MMD went under…you can be street wise like FJT but serious analysis can only be developed at the heighest level…WHY IMPEACH SATA, WHAT GROUNDS?
Forget impeachment it wont help….yes audit RUBEX Contracts…
Investigate RBs brother in laws construction company “chitilila”. They were given road contracts by they do not even have a wheel barrow. They brought south Africans to meet RB so they could use the south african company “Nyati”.
All these inquiries cost money. Can’t that money be spent on progress instead of focussing on things of the past. Select a few cases of corruption and invest money in sound developmental projects. We want to move forward and not focus on the past.
The problem with PF is that they seem to have realized that they are lacking in credentials and capability to deliver what they promised people. Anywhere in the world when a new government is sworn in , the first thing is to outline what there vision is in various sectors. This guy —–Guy Scott is giving his first interview as vive -president, why is he talking about road construction instead of outlining the vision on various aspects that his government has for all the districts in Zambia. And if he is talking about roads—–he should have first begun with PF`s vision on road development in all the districts in Zambia. Reviewing whatever contracts should come later—–and in any case the minister in-charge should be responsible for those statements.
Whats wrong with what he said or did? Keke you must be from the previous government MMD who doesnt appreciate change.
Ya Times of Zambia???? isnt that what all PF supporters were saying….
HH is not a bitter man guys but principled man FULL STOP!
I fail to understand HH, he will not win any elections if he thinks Southern is the only province. Tell him that the little sympathy we had for him is gone and we shall support NAREP in 2016. Honestly how can he go to bed with RB the person he claims was there in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and 00s? RB is full of corruption so how will people view HH? Mind you Sata lost in 2006 because he embraced the corrupt FTJ. You are too proud of yourself and he is not the only rich person in Zambia. by the way he only tells us how much rich he is but he does not tell us how he got that money.
principled, what do you mean, even Barack Obama and other world leaders did congratulate Sata, whats so special that HH cannot do. so does it mean that other world leaders are not principled but HH is who is just a Head of political party which just lost the elections, is?
HH screwed up this year. Sata was the better alternative to RB. I hope renaming airports that where named in honor of Chief Lusaka of the Soli’s, Livingstone, aren’t the only legacy he will leave behind. He should have upgraded the airports to international standards and made sure ZED could finally become the hub of Africa. After all we are central, then renamed them
ibuteko ubu
How can the tonga tribal party even consider feilding this failure again, The man will never ever rule Zambia, as we shall never let HH near plot one. What sort of bitterness for a leader not to say congrats to the President…Bitterness yabu under5 ata
Much as we need the opposition,they have to be realistic and behave like mature person. There is no need to oppose everything just for the sake of it or simly because you are in opposition. The opposition parties have to be very careful how they handle things or they will; especially the MMD just alianate themselves even further. People got fed up with them that is what they have to realise.
It will be very difficult for the MMD to win people back just now. The wounds of their corruptin are still fresh and knowing African politics, more and more people in MMD will be accused of this and that if they go down the route of being antagonistic. Then we will see rats jumping ship which in turn will destroy the party like UNIP. We need them in opposition but they have to be careful. Go MCS
#keke, if u move onto a new building site partly started, u need to satisify yourself the foundation laid is good enough for u to build on, otherwise your building will come tumbling down in no time. So the new govt needs to do that before they move on…what’s wrong with that?
“mulipa banda” why are you leaving in the past? its time to move on. HH congratulated MC the following and told him that UPND will support any progressive debate but you are still insiting on a issue that wont bring development. Let the Guys in PF work. They are above such debates and they are just focusing on developing the country. You will remain alone in the past ka………..
HH is a very hopeless chap, why is he so bitter about the new government? He is being misled by that big half-term loser. HH, let me tell you this, you lost and the best you can do is just reorganise your party or better still just quit and consentrate on your ranches. Is it true that up to now you have not congratulated Mr Sata? You are a disgrace!
#11 (keke) be realistic. I commend the PF for going back to contracts and corruption cases. This is what has disadvantage many poor people. Money can be recovered too from these investigation. Lay the foundation first and build on it. Otherwise you go nowhere and the same cancer erodes every effort you make. I am happy with these efforts and for me they make the 90 DAYS really a reality of real work and progress
In the Interest of being fair, I think It is this Man would make a better presidents and I hope he is the 6th president
Let us get things in perspective, by virtue of him being white he is one step of anyone in the party by default. Remember how zambia was in the 1950’s all the buildings are destroyed why? because we blacks have destroyed that country, we dont know what to do with it. Blacks? Well give them a wasahing soap, they will use it to wash their clothes! Give them a Pot they will use it as a plate! Give them a swimming pool they use it as a rubbish damp
I think we need to have a white man at the helm I think there will be a lot o Investment and zambia will be perceived favourably. I know it,
You all it and he knows. I hope it happens Thanks
I have just been thinking that maybe just maybe this is the kind of government that Zambia needs. We cannot afford to be debating everything because it is bound to be expensive, time wasting and at the end of the day no real progress will be made. Investors and institutions are already responding favourably before any one has even paid them a visit. I am beginning to like this. I also believe that MCS is going to be more domestic focussed which is where it matters the most. Zambians buckle your belts and enjoy the ride …
#11 keke.Maybe you are one of the people who benefitted from the road contract corruption.Why not just shut up and wait the law visit you.
Let Sata rule.UPND is a small party full of jokes and tribalism.why should u expect Sata to appoint a person from Southern who never even campaigned and voted for him?.U choose MPs from where u’ve won.the president could only appoint 8 ministers.I think tribal politics should be stoped.UPND is made up of tongas and one kaonde.If HH continue with this underfive behavior, he will never be a president of zambia.The underfive came into politics thru tribalism and is today saying Sata has just appointed bembas from northen and luapula.In luapula Sata only picked sakeni and bwalya.In northen the only bemba is GMB.Sichinga,walombe and silavwe are mambwes and lungus.I think UPND should be very careful coz most people are getting annoyed with underfive.I’m eastern but i don’t agree with HH.
HH should know that Ila names,bemaba,lamba,kaonde,lunda are the same.he should take his ignorance to southern where they practise tribalism.In these tribes u’ll find musonda,bwalya, kunda,kapata and other names
HH should know that Ila names,bemaba,lamba,kaonde,lunda are the same.he should take his ignorance to southern where they practise tribalism.In these tribes u’ll find musonda,bwalya, kunda,kapata and other names.
Good morning
#17 well spoken. It’s all about cleaning house. Irregularities need to be detected and corrected before good quality work can begin. Why criticise even logical, straightforward matters?
The problem with most critics is that they’re still looking at things from the loser’s perspective. It’s all over with the campaigning, time for everyone to move with the flow in the right direction. What matters is that good roads shall benefit us ALL – even those that are busy crying out loud.
In the Interest of being fair, I think It is this Man would make a better presidents and I hope he is the 6th president

THE PF GOVT MUST INVESTIGATE THE ROAD WORK THAT WAS CONTRACTED TO SABLE TRANSPORT BETWEEN NYIMBA AND SINDA.THIS ROAD WORK IS DEPLORABLE AND MUST BE FULLY INVESTIGATED BY THE RELEVENT AUTHORITIES .THIS ROAD HAS BEEN BADLY DONE `AND IT IS UNEVENLY DONE AND JUST RECENTLY DAYS BEFORE THE 20TH SEPTEMBER I HAPPEN TO USE THIS ROAD WHILST GOING TO MALAWI IN MY TOYOTA PRADO 4X4 AND MY WHOLE CAR WAS SHAKING AND RATTLING BECAUSE OF THE ROAD NOT BEING FLAT AND EVEN. I BELIEVE MMD PAID AROUND 300BILLION KWACHAS FOR THIS PROJECT WHICH SMELLS RATS.TO ME..I URGE MR SCOTT TO LOOK INTO THIS MATTER VERY SERIOUSLY BECAUSE I BELEVE THIS CONTRACT WAS CORRUPTLY AWARDED BY THE MMD GOVT TO THIS TRANSPORTER COMPANY. THIS ROAD NEEDS TO BE RECONSTRUCTED.AND THIS IS JUST A TIP OF AN ICEBURG
bembas pliz cool your tempers,HH is a zambian he has the right to practice politics in this country,what is that kind of hatred for Tongas,sourthen province is much ahead of bemba provinces combined we can govern ourself we are richer than you lazies and mind you we are called a poor country becoz of you people who live on others we will chase when you come to sourthen for greener pastures.
Reading across media from many sources on Zambia is pretty useful. I am left here with the impression that it may take a while to get beyond the mud slinging, wringing of hands, shaking of fists, preening and resignation :) For all those who have independent individual thoughts and enjoy other viewpoints without getting fired up then this article I came across may be of interest as it speaks of international journalism and positive African news being overlooked. Of primary note is that Zambia is the example highlighted. Come on LT. It will be wonderful when you begin to write about our country with a more global approach. I can dream, huh?

# 11 (KEKE) u r very dull, get back to school…i suggets :-?
#11 Keke, the answer depends on the question asked and what the interviewer thought made sense enough to be reported. Did you expect Dr Scott to go on ranting about what he was not asked?
yes what about the money for the PIGS sir. It was quiet alot. We need that back!!!! What does the constitution say regarding a foreigner as Veep
which foreigner?
why impeach SATA? On what grounds? many ground. 10 mistakes in 2 weeks!!!
1… The vice president the father Goerge scott was a foreigner 2..He nominated more that 8 MPS buy three. 3 Renaming airports etc without proper consultation… imagine mentioning kk airport in germany its easy to recongnize lusaka airport. 4. Mezafe flats contracts.. money stollen 5.. Colera money in his personal account 6. PF rigged elections 7.his about to give the post money for the airline they store with magane etc……. I know you won’t believe pipo.. blinded
@ 36 yes you are mad how did PF rig the elections grow up iwe
I’m very proud of this government just like i envisioned…congratulations to Sata & Co. stellar work so far, keep it up, we are right behind you…BUFFOON RB was a mere caretaker, a thieving disgrace i hope his erased from our history books.
Cheers!!
LUSAKA (Reuters) – New Zambian President Michael Sata on Monday reversed the $5.4 million sale of the nation’s Finance Bank to South Africa’s second-biggest lender FirstRand. “There’s no document of sale for Finance Bank and I am directing the Ministry of Finance to take the bank back to its owners immediately,” Sata said. The Zambian central bank said last month FirstRand would pay $5.4 million for the bank, which it seized from its shareholders in 2010 for violating the law through unsound practices, including insider borrowing.
A Phiri ana bwe, thanks for the link to that article online. I have just read it, it just agrees with my comment yesterday regarding the Western media’s tendency of reporting news from Africa. There was one Western African International Relations think-tnk director who appeared recently on the Free French online TV. He also said the same thing. The nature of reporting by the western media about Africa is largely negative and only reports little about the positive developments taking place across the continent. I must say i was also impressed by the French TV, as they recently gave a fairly detailed report about the Zambian Politics, covering the visions of the 3 major Political Parties. They also showed President Sata addressing a Pres. Conf. at Plot 1. This is very rare though.Thanx!
HH and his UPND is the worst political prostitute and opportunist that Zambia has ever had. He has “married” before UNIP, FDD, PF, has grabbed Ken Ngondo’s All Peoples Congress and now he’s trying to get MMD upon hearing that RB is retiring thats why he had a private meeting with him. But it will take UPND 10yrs to build up good image on Zambia politics and only after HH has handed over power to someone in UPND. As at now KAYA
Bakabwalaa you are saying pf should not investigate the Road Contracts give us mature reasons baba,PF should investigate every corrupt activity without being selective yama nganamukumako mwakakwa.
Just wondering about the tribal remarks, apperantly some do not know what they are talking about, take Luapula for example in Mwata kazembe’s area, those are not bembas they share the same origins with the Lunda of North Western province, they are actually Lundas. As far as I know there no bembas in Luapula
HH is a bitter fella who thought can win the 2011 general elections.I don’t know who cheated him that he was popular than Mr Sata. My cousin,may i ask u this question.If MMD ‘s Bwezani had won the elections,would have congratulated him or not?
I know yo answer.What then is it that u are finding it difficult 2 just say congrats 2 President Sata.It’s high time u realized that he is yo president & 4 all Zambians.What kind of an Adventist are u?That’s why church & politics in our church doctrine is discouraged.Those 2 can’t marry.
Arrest all the thieves please we all have children we sweat to work hard
@ste – you’re welcome. Glad you took the time. It is heart warming to know that looking beyond the fray ALL credit for the increasingly positive perception that Zambia is ahead of the rest of Africa in this regard goes to the PEOPLE of Zambia.
@Mushota – hope your tongue is firmly in cheek with those comments :) I know the US had a pretty good publicity run based on the ethnicity of Pres Obama but when all is said and done it doesn’t mean diddly squat when the people want something delivered. We don’t fail because we are black. Some things were designed to fail. Know what I mean? Start with the fact that this area was part of the region given to British South Africa Company to commercially exploit. Never a colony. Later became a protectorate. I am saying run by a company! Moving on.
You are too late bwana Scott, they are destroying the documents now. If you don’t move in quickly you will find nothing
If they r doing that, then they are adding to their woes.. Dont you think?
#44 don’t waste your energy on that troll, I highly doubt it if that creature thingy is a female like in the picture.
they now want to give contracts to their own people..hehehehehe
But when are you resuming the works that were started by RB? I hope you will not give us a lame excuse that all the cash were got by previous regime! We want to see change now
KEKE, TIT, SAY, AND YOUR OTHER TRIBAL CLONIES ARE ALL MORONS. FOR ONCE, I AM APPEALING TO ALL ZAMBIANS PLEASE LET US FOCUS OUR ATTENTION ON DEVELOPMENTAL ISSUES. FORGET ABOUT THESE TRIBAL RHETORICS AND JELOUSY RANTING. THOSE WHO DONT WANT PF GOV’NT TO CARRY OUT INVESTIGATIONS IN THE PAST DEALS, ARE EITHER CALPRITS, ACCOMPLICIES OR BENEFICIARIES LIKE HH, RB, MMD CARDERS, UPND DEALERS, HEADS OF PARASTATALS (ZSIC) ETC.
EG. LOOK AT ZSIC, THEY FRAUDULENTLY FORMED A HOLDING COMPANY THAT HOLDS JOBS FOR AN UNQUALIGFIED MD PLUS 7 UNDER PERFORMING MANAGERS.
HOW DO RUN SUCH AN INSURANCE INSTITUTION WITH A DEGREE IN AGRIC-SCIENCE + A DIPLOMA IN INSURANCE?
HH was showing off his side kicks at a rally. You thot Zambians wanted a fit guy like Mr Matero. HH needs to connect with the grass roots if you are to lead Zambia one day. Not showing how young and fit you are ( I guess compared to RB and MS) but a 74 year old man beat you so what was that nonsense of dancing, kicking your legs at rallys. See, it only got you 18%.
Let us all support the new gov it is only 10 days now mwe bantu twapapata.
In the bread and butter Zambian politics, PF will get the right numbers …just watch the by-elections to come..already we have chongwe…Sata can dangle carot to entice MMD or UNDP MPs…Remember the PF rebel MPs…it was about stomach politics..
RB & HH meeting is not a crime. Both parties are in opposition and that is common ground enough. I am more interested in the road contracts, some Indians from eastern province have been stealing from Zambia for a long time it now has to end please. Their work is sub standard to say the lest.
Yes.No more ZRA and Napsa can i get my money from asap.
WORK IN PROGRESS….MY GOVERNMENT WORKING VERY HARD FOR A PROSPEROUS ZAMBIA!!
I salute You!!!
Malama, IG and Chitundu, ZESCO, Malupenga all bembas! More popcorns please! How do you fire 73 DCs just like that? Is it possible to have all 73 DCs to be that partisan? What about the ones he has appointed are they not pf cadres? We told you, this man is not fit to be in that position but you didn’t listen! Just wait, the worst is yet to come!
All Dcs jobs will go back to cival servats.No more polical candres.i’m very happy with Mr Sata.better to appoint people who are professional than looking at a tribe.Chitundu is not a bootliker and will help zesco succeed.We can’t just appoint just coz u want to balance even when people are not qualified.Viva PF put more qualified people in govt positions
ZAMBIANS WE COMPLAIN TOO MUCH ABOUT TRIBE AND WHO HAS BEEN GIVEN WHAT POSITION IN GOVT.CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT TRIBE AND PROVINCE GUY SCOTT REPRESENTS IN THIS SATA GOVT.ALL AM HEARING IS GBM N TOO MANY BEMBA PEOPLE IN THIS GOVT..WHAT ABOUT GUY SCOTT WHAT TRIBE IS HE AND WHAT REGION IS HE REPRESENTING?SOMEONE COMMENT ON THIS ONE..
A Phiri ana bwe..thx for the link. You are an angel that showed up when the river was drying. I had a similar talk with a white work mate and I was actually talking of the same issues and I now have a good source, especially that its American edited, it carries the best weight to weight a cow on. Who said MMD and UPND were planning on impeaching Sata. I ready an article from the post and none was mentioned. Oh Times of Zambia now goes to bed with its own enemy. Hahahaaaaaaaaa. Calm down guys, only the uneducated hate tongas.
lmao. Guy Scot is from eastern province just like Depak Patel was from Monze, southern.
This tribalim talk is really getting out of hand.Its apparent that there is too much hidden hatrage between some tribes.However,I implore everyone on this site to exercise resiliance for Sake of One Zambia One Nation.
Ati wanzeluuu? machende yako wanvela? who told you that SATA is bemba? bafikala. Didn’t you father teach you about 73 tribes in zambia? *****!!!!!! SATA is BISA by tribe, CHITUNDU is LALA by tribe, MALUPENGA is LAMYA by tribe. So you fool you should change name to waupuba, waba akabukala akanono kwati kakwa HH.
GUYS LET US NOT BE BLINDED..THIS GUY SCOTT IS THE SECOND IN COMMAND OF OUR COUNTRY AND MILLIONS OF ZAMBIANS DONT REALLY KNOW WHERE HE IS FROM..ITS EITHER SOUTHERN OR EASTERN??? NO ONE KNOWS.. SO WHAT DOES IT TELL ABOUT OUR GOVT, LEADERS AND PEOPLE OF ZAMBIA?ONE DAY WE WILL REGRET THIS DONT KUBEBA THEME.IT WILL SURELY WORK AGAINST US ONE DAY THAT WILL BE THE DAY ALL ZAMBIANS WILL KNOW THAT IT IS RIGHT TO BE SINCERE AND TELL THE PEOPLE THE TRUTH.RIGHT NOW IT MIGHT SEEM TO BE THE IN THING DONT KUBEBA ALL THINGS BUT WAIT BECAUSE ALL THINGS IN LIFE COME INTO LIGHT THAT IS WHEN WE WILL KNOW THE TRUTH.HOPEFULLY BY THEN IT WONT BE TOO LATE.CONGRATS MR VICE PRESIDENT GUY SCOTT.I REST MY CASE.
Ba John-Eastern power. Please note that Sichinga is not Mambwe. Just like Sichone is also not Mambwe. Do not involve us in your DONKEY KUBEBA business. We are serious Namwangas and above all serious Zambians with tribal inclinations.
what is the point?????
Guy Scott born in Livingstone like both my parents. Only one out of those 3 is Lozi. Does it matter? Nope.
#13 keke, what vision do you want to hear?? What were campaigns for if not for expounding on what the party will do for the people??? People who matter heard the vision and voted likewise, if you missed out while busy listening to chew chew chew nizako izo!!! A house is only as strong as its foundation and this means stumping out all weaknesses and breaking down all unstable structures, which I believe, is what this President is doing. If you are part of the weaknesses, again nizako izo!
#62, what the hell is your point??? Whats your problem with the Veep?? Feel free, just come out and stop talking in parables. Its a new era now, even racism without insults is being allowed!!
WHAT A JOKE.SOUTHRNERS VOTING FOR MAGANDE IN 2016 AT THE EXPENSE OF HH? TO START WITH MAGANDE IS NOT EVEN POPULAR IN HIS HOME AREA CHIVUNA. HE IS LITO KNOWN. HE SPEND MOST OF TIME WORKING IN TOWN AND ABROAD. VEEP SAYS PF GOVT WILL REVIEW ALL ROAD CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS. THAT IS WASTING TAXPAYERS MONEY. LOOK NO BEYOND THE PAST RFA CEO RAPHEAL MABENGA HE HAS ALL FACTS ON HIS FINGER TIPS. SOME GUYS WHO WHO USED TO CONIVE WITH CONTACTRACTORS AND FABRICATED LIES WHICH THEN STATE HOUSE ENDORSED AND THATS HOW THE MAN GOT FIRED BY RB. HE IS A VERY COMPETENT ENGINEER WHO GOT THE MATCHING ORDERS FOR DOING TH RIGHT THING. BWANA VEEP THE ANSWERS ARE THERE LOOK NO BEYOND.
NO.6 ZEDLIFE THATS BEING ABIT GRAZY. AND YOU DONT READ HISTORY. DR. GUY SCOTS’S FAMILY HAS BEEN IN ZAMBIA LONG. FROMM THE LITO I KNOW HIS LATE FATHER ELEXANDER SCOT WAS ONE OF THE PIONEERS OF LUSAKA AND HIS REMAINS ARE PEACEFULLY LYING AT THE OLD CEMENTRY IN RHODES PARK. IN ADDITION HE WAS FOUNDER AND OWNER OF DAILY MAIL. HE ALSO OWNED THE LAND WHERE LILANDA TOWNSHIP IS. GUY SCOT IS ALSO ASSOCIATED TO MPONGWE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY AND OTHER SUCESSFUL ENTITIES IN ZAMBIA AND AROUND THE WORLD. THE MAN WAS LASO INSTRUMENTAL IN REMOVING KK & UNIP FROM POWER IN 1991. HIS A FIREBRAND. DESPITE HIS COLOR THE MAN IS VERY MUCH ZAM,BIAN THAN YOU THINK. EVEN DURING THE LAST CAMPAIGN HE CAMPAIGNED IN ALMOST ALL PARTS OF THE COUNTRY WHERE SATA NEVER WENT. HE WAS ALL OVER AND HAS CAPACITY TO DELIVER.
People must have facts before blogging. HH did congratulate Sata. I dont know perhaps that he needed to neel to show that he has cogratulated Sata. We want to hear meaningfull contribution so that we can provide checkes and balances to our govermrnt. We need to demand from Mr Sata what he was promising us and not to insult ourselves as we are supposed to be beneficiaries when the government meets it promises. Stop insulting each other as insults will not take any one anywhere. We dont benefit from these insults not even those who haul them can benefit from these insults.
:o let PF work weather u like it or not they are ruling.
ZAMBIA WILL BE BANKRUPT. THIS YEAR AS MANY PEOPLE WILL BE FIRED BY THIS sATAN
FIRING ALL DCS NO MBA ZAMBIA YALUA FUNYA KWISA IMPIYA TO MOVE THEM AND PAY THEM AT ONCE KWENA NI VENGENCE. AND YET DURING THE CAMPAING HE HAD A ROSARY IN HIS HANDS AT ALL TIMES. SHORT LIVED PRESIDENT SATAN
What is this crap about which part of Zambia Guy Scott is from? What matters is how effective he will be as veep, and so far so good. Road contracts should definitely be revisited. For example, how was a section of the Landless Corner road awarded to BY, as Mr. Sata stated during the campaign? Zambia needs to be cleansed of corruption.
Zambians needed a man like Sata to clean up the stinking country due to corruption!
Veep is a Zambian just like any other black Zambian.Get out this color foolishness
Psychologists’commonly accepted definition of intelligence is that one has to have the capacity to UNDERSTAND the world, THINK rationally, and USE resources effectively when faced with challenges. Sata possess all these qualities and bloggers on this site with ant brains like MUSHOTA possess non of the above! Most bloggers have observed with dismay comments this girl called MUSHOTA post on most articles. She’s not in touch with reality and doesn’t think rationally. It’s pathetic and embarrasing to have Zambians of such caliber in the diaspora. Grow up girl…!!!!:o
Source for investors who can build highways with toll gates if GRZ and Zambians are not able to do it. These a lot of cars on zed roads and one can make huge business by investing in good roads
But let current road contracts continue so that all the materials used so far are not washed away by the coming rains. ZRA can screen all the contractors so that they pay proper taxes on any super profits made by overcharging govt and underpaying workers.
Paul Scott is right. There is too much corruption in this agency. It started in 1991 and I doubt whether his governemnt will manage to stop it.
I have to confess, intially i was reserved about Sata being a President, but in the last 2 weeks, i have realised that he is the right man for the job. With recent revelations on corruption, i don’t want to imagine what the situation could have been with RB given another term. I thought HH was a man of principles, i am really disappointed with him because he seem not to have a skeleton of his own to stand on. How does he date MMD with the intention of frustrating the Sata Govt. I am nonpartisan but i support progressive ideas for the good of mother Zambia. A new constitution which reflects the will of the majority of Zambians can be a good start, what do you think?
