Acting President Guy Scott has challenged individuals questioning his legitimacy to act as acting Head of State to go to court.
In a statement made available to QFM News,Dr Scott has warned that he will not allow President Sata’s funeral to be marred with indignity.
Dr Scott says the few that think that his acting as Head of State is a matter of for legal debate should take the matter to court if they so wish.
He says he will not allow any party members including cabinet ministers to disregard party discipline while the nation mourns President Sata.
The acting President has stressed the need to mourn President Sata with dignity and respect.
He notes that it is clear that some party members have taken his warning last week to mourn the late President in dignity and desist from fractious succession campaigns as an idle threat.
Dr Scott says those who are disregarding a very sensible and humane request should reflect on their conduct.

Unfortunately your voice is just on Tumfweko and here it remains. The truth will come out even a football captain can be fired for indiscipline. Just ask Chris Katongo

Guy Scott is illegible to act as President. His critics like Edgar Lungu and Gen Miyanda are not just interested in seeing Zambia in a peacefull mood as we have been. The devil has hired them to cause confusions. The small demonstrations and rits in Lusaka are manily organized and funded by Edgar Lungu, Mulenga Sata, GBM and Chishimba Kambwili. And for Scott, please rescind your decision of dropping Hon Lungu for the sake of peace and unity in the country and in your party PF. Edgar Lungu after all is not a threat. He is just a drunkard, corrupt lawyer and importantly, a political under weight. But as for Davis Mwila; shame on you for embarrassing your new boss by turning down your appointment as new Secretary General. And for Guy Scott, please consult the person whom you want to appoint before you fulfill to avoid such big embarrassments as u have found yourself in. But HH is wining the upcoming presidential elections, mark my words.The confusion in PF is playing so well with HH.

You are very right Sandra. As for Hon Mwila, why couldn’t he just phone Scott to turn down the appointment? Did he have to go to ZNBC to do that? Was that the honourable thing to do? It looked more of a calculated move to lend support to the forces that are working against the Acting President.

The country is been run by someone who grew up with the late president, I believe he can sufficently justify all he’s recent actions. And for the people who are trying to cause confusion during this time of mourning, its a pity as too how much disrespect they are showing to our late president. If the party officials or cabinet have a problem with Scott wait for the by elections and have him removed as president otherwise for now sh*tup n join the game

And all these people causing confusion claim to have loved and respected Sata! The least they can do is;mourn the late with respect and honour. If they have issues, let them sort those out at the election day. The people of Zambia will have the final say on who they want to lead them. Ba Mwila, you must learn to be principled. That behaviour can only come from a low calibre mind, the sort that says ‘akacimona’! It lacks maturity and tact which are ingredients of a good leader.
