Political activist Nason Msoni says President Sata owes the country an explanation for skipping Nelson Mandela’s funeral and also missing out on key international engagements requiring Presidential attention.
Msoni said President Sata defiled the national mourning period he declared for Nelson Mandela and set off on a campaign train in Vubwi which was shocking.
“Incompetent Zambian President now turns to tired former first Zambian President Kenneth Kaunda and tired serving Zambian Vice-President Guy Scott to help represent him in international engagements,” said Msoni.
“There is serious growing concern on the competence and ability of President Sata to continue as President given that he is effectively failing to cope fully with the demand and functions of the office of President. Lately the Zambian President has literally skipped all international engagements including some local important engagements.”
He adds: “The latest being the funeral of“ Madiba” the global icon whose passing is largely viewed in the lens of SADC as a SADC affair where SADC member countries where represented by their Presidents and Head of state either during the memorial service or during the final burial event where Sata was conspicuously missing but delegated both Kenneth Kaunda and Guy scott to represent the Zambian government at both functions.”
Msoni said President Sata owed Zambians an explanation.
“But Sata decided to defile his own declared national mourning by going campaigning at “little vubwi”in the Eastern Province of Zambia shocking Zambian mourners observing and praying for Mandela,” he said.
“No clear explanation so far has been given by Zambian government except for a flimsy reason that Sata prefers to be at home to serve costs.”
