Harrington Sympathetic Over Masebo’s Sacking
Former Communication and Transport Minister, William Harrington says he does not take pleasure in the sacking of Sylvia Masebo as Tourism and Arts Minister.
President Michael Sata yesterday fired Ms Masebo who is awaiting the outcome of the findings of a tribunal constituted to probe her alleged professional misconduct and interference in the Zambia Wildlife Authority (ZAWA) operations.
But Mr. Harrington, who instigated the setting up of the tribunal to probe Ms. Masebo, says he finds it unfair to comment on her dismissal because he does not derive any delight in her being fired.
Mr. Harrington has told Qfm News in a telephone that it will be further unfair to both President Sata and Ms. Masebo for him or anybody else to assume that the step the Head of State has taken is based on the tribunal.
He says this is because the tribunal has not yet formally handed its findings of its investigations to the Head of State.
Mr Harrington maintains that his main goal for initiating the tribunal to probe Ms. Masebo was only to seek justice as he did not take pleasure in among other things, seeing people lose their jobs at ZAWA as a result of the actions of the Minister.
Meanwhile opposition Zambians for Empowerment and Development (ZED) president Fredrick Mutesa has welcomed President Sata’s decision to relieve Ms. Masebo of her duties as Tourism and Arts Minister.
Dr Mutesa says his party believes the action by the President will also be welcomed by a majority of the people in the country because it is in keeping with transparency and accountability.
Dr. Mutesa has told Qfm News in a separate interview that this is why his party finds the decision of the Head of State long overdue going by the allegations leveled against Ms. Masebo.

Oh please, give us a break. If you had the thinking capacity yourself, you would realize that Green Zedian was expressing his option but alas here comes Trabalist, the great thinker with cheap contributions on this blog.
Grow up, it’s not everyone’s fault how you were raised boss.

I think uyu Harrington has a crash on Silvia. Maybe Silvia anamukana….how else can you explain his actions? Surely after Silvia has been fired, then he comes and says he feels bad about it? Am shocked!

Harrington!! What were you expecting from your instigating of the tribunal against Masebo? A promotion for Her? That is the problem of doing things when your conscious is not clean or you have ill motives you remain haunted of your actions.

William Harrington,those are crocodile tears. Your submission was clear and personal and the intent was to see what has happened already. Please let us help our ladies,they are a weak species. I have been hearing that politics is a dirt game,but i did not know that it is dirtier than this.

Harrington is just lying, he is happy that Masebo has been dropped. In the first place why did he call for the tribunal to investigate masebo ? Now that Masebo has been dropped, Harrington could be thinking for a corrupt person to take over the position, so that their corrupt practices can continue. I hope the president will appoint a person who ill have the heart for the nation, not those crooks who are only interested in their own pockets

Harringtone is a real hypocrite. He instigated the formation of the tribunal just because of the firing of his kinsman Matokwani. Shame on you son of Matepeta! This will live on your conscious FOREVER. Whenever you wake up, it will be at the foot of the bed to greet you. When you go to bed it will be there to bid you goodnight. May the face of Masebo never disappear from your mind but to haunt you for ever and ever Amen!

Masebo got what was coming her way, the corrupt should only be forgiven after being proved that they are scummy. Levy would not have tolerated this shit up to this level. Viva Harrington.
