The PF was a party started, supported and sponsored by MC Sata and Guy Scott. These two have gone through thick and thin together to have us liberated from the thieving MMD.
It is just right that HE MC Sata appoints Vice-President Guy Scott to lead us forward.
Nobody said “musungu” when he was suffering for our liberation and now bamambala are saying he is white. Yes he is white but he is more patriotic than those people joining the PF from MMD.
Also there will be no complaint of tribalism.
Viva Guy Scott for Vice-President

George Chellah from the Post or Frank Mutubila to get the position of Press Aide.
Veep goes to Guy Scot.
Given Lubinda will be the new Local Govt & Housing Minister
Bob Sichinga will either be Finance Minister or Special Adviser to the president on economic matters
Former Task Force Chairman Mr Nkole will be appointed ACC director
Fr Frank Bwalya will be State House Chaplain
All bosses at ZNBC, Times of Zambia and Daily Mail will be replaced. I dont know which names will replace them.
Dr Solomon Jere or Dr Malama will replace Francis Kabonde.
The rest you can speculate.

Proposals : VP Guy Scott, the USA has a black President, Zambia can also break the record in Africa by having a white vice President in this day, racism should be utterly destroyed. Finance Minister – Magande, Local Govt – Sylvia Masebo, Science & Tech – Prof Clive Chirwa, Health – Edith Nawakwi, Justice – Miyanda or Speaker etc, Mutati – Ministry TBD, Dambisa Moyo – Economic Consultant, others can also propose names and how ministries can be merged to reduce on numbers. Cabinet Ministers should also be sourced from top performing resources from the private sector. God bless Zambia.

NOTE: Sylvia Masebo cant be appointed to a ministerial position because the constitution bars the republican president from nominating anyone as MP who failed in a parliamentary election.

if sata doesnt appoint Dr Guy Scott as Veep then I wll ve to think he’s not loyal at all! Dr Scott & Sata started PF together and endured a lot together in the process. they both made what PF is today. Dr Scott did not leave when PF lost instead he put in more effort, dedication & remained with Sata. As he doesnt come from any tribe in Zambia, there4 he’s the right man 4 this position as no one in any province wont complain of not having ‘their son/daughter’ appointed as veep. Dr Scott for position of veep please Mr president!

for those of saying that Solomon jere should take over from kabonde. please be reminded that Mr Jere, even though he sings gospel music in police unform, is the man who led the january 14 Mongu killings! That guy personally went to Lfm to confiscate equipment for the radio station. He is a lion in a sheep skin! We cant ve a killer cop as IG!
