Scott Says He Knows People Behind Shiwang’andu Violence
Acting President Dr Guy Scott says he knows the people that sent PF cadres to attack a UPND campaign team in Shiwang’andu last week, but is still waiting for a full report to make comparisons.
And Dr Scott says Shiwang’andu member of parliament Stephen Kampyongo should have condemned the violence in his constituency rather than try to justify it.
In an interview, acting President Scott said he had information on the people behind the attack on a helicopter that was carrying the UPND team that included former first lady Maureen Mwanawasa and former deputy Speaker Mutale Nalumango, among others.
“I know where the people came from and who brought them into Shiwang’andu, so I am just waiting to see in black and white what the full report will say. It is a dangerous thing to do, throwing stones at a chopper!” he said without specifying what sort of action he would take.
And Dr Scott said Kampyongo, the home affairs deputy minister, should have simply condemned the act of violence outright without trying to justify anything. “He [Kampyongo] phoned me this [Monday] morning, explaining the context in which his statement was based on. He was saying in the news item where he was quoted, he meant to say the UPND team should have called him to inform him about their plans to travel to the area so that he could have protected them,” said acting President Scott. Kampyongo is quoted as having said the UPND campaign team should have notified him about their intentions to hold campaign meetings in his constituency.
Acting President Scott condemned the incident, saying violence had no place in Zambian politics and directed the law enforcement agencies to investigate the matter.

Since its Scott probing the case its now OUR PF, yet you all know Lungu thats the last thing he can do. As a leader Lungu was suppose to give his personal stand on the issue, what has he said about the near death of a UPND official in Mongu? Zii! Thats a shame for a presidential candidate, thats a Zambian who almost died, if hes not compassionate to his fellow Zambians how will he show it to global tragedies if elected?

mr rupia banda and nevers mumba are lovers; last time I saw them getting the honeymoon suite at Pamorzi hotel, then suddenly there was some serious screaming on the 6th floor. we believe mr banda then successfully penetrated his big black rod into nevers and nevers started preaching gospel while making out; in all this action HH was seen kneeling and taking a headder from voda lungu’s pants in the next room.
