Vice-President Guy Scott says sports minister Chishimba Kambwili is just a noise maker who could not have been a member of parliament without President Michael Sata.
And PF Copperbelt cadres have openly rejected the proposal to re-adopt current members of parliament for the 2016 elections.
Speaking in Ndola when he announced the new Patriotic Front slogan for the 2016 general elections dubbed; “2016, Sata no change”, Scott accused Kambwili of deceiving youths he was the endorsed PF candidate for 2016.
During the official opening of the PF Copperbelt Provincial conference in Ndola yesterday, Vice-President Scott – in reference to Kambwili – said President Michael Sata has not endorsed anyone for presidency in 2016.
He said the talk by some party officials that they had been endorsed by President Sata was all lies.
“Please don’t listen to any talk about endorsement. Nobody has been endorsed by President Sata, the Vice-President and the secretary general (Wynter Kabimba); we are together and we want to see a Copperbelt that will govern itself,” Vice-President Scott said.
“There is no fighting in PF. At the top, Wynter is not fighting and those who are saying Guy Scott is helping him, it’s all lies. Be careful with such people that tell such lies. Why should it be true? We are all here because of President Sata; he brought me to this party, the secretary general is here because President Sata brought him in,” he said.
Vice-President Scott called for discipline in all ranks of the party.
“Even noisy people like Kambwili wouldn’t be a member of parliament and party official without President Sata.”
He advised delegates to choose credible people.
Vice-President Scott said it was a lie for some people vying for positions to promise voters monetary rewards.
He said the only reward for winners would be the victory pride and that they would have defeated people that made them poor.
Vice-President Scott said the party needed leaders that would bring progress and peace because ‘Don’t Kubeba’ was working.
“Don’t think about money; anyone telling you they will reward you after voting anama boza (they are lying). It’s important to elect people you want in a disciplined way. Show Zambians that you are disciplined because you got the Mufurila manyazi (shameful) elections. In the middle of the night, I was running to keep peace. We want a proper working party that goes forward,” Vice-President Scott said.
Meanwhile, PF chairperson for elections Sylvia Masebo said the party needed a strong team that would ensure victory in 2016.
Masebo said Copperbelt was important for the party because without it, there would be no PF.
She said the party needed committed and hardworking leaders.
“Your Honour, I’ve received reports that there are lists flying around that there is team A, B and C. My advice is that let’s not look at lists but individuals. We need discipline and the state police have been instructed not to allow anyone once the Veep arrives. Police are not getting instructions from anyone but myself, so far everything has been okay,” Masebo said.
And the crowd disagreed with Masebo when she said in 2016 all members of parliament on the Copperbelt must be re-adopted and she smiled back.
