Operation Young Vote Executive Director Guess Nyirenda says the excitement exhibited by Acting President, Dr. Guy Scott, where he is making unilateral decisions is not only dangerous and unacceptable to the country’s democratic dispensation, but also a recipe for anarchy and chaos in the Patriotic Front party and civil strife in the country.
Mr Nyirenda in a statement made available to QFM News says Dr. Scott must be reminded that according to Article 39 (2) (b) he has no authority whatsoever to revoke any appointment made by the President.
He says it is very clear that Dr. Scott through his unwarranted actions that he is not in any way interested in seeing a smooth transition in Zambia’s political dispensation.
Mr Nyirenda says there is no logic where on one hand he bans all Central Committee and Cabinet Meetings to all for peaceful and dignified mourning of President Sata, while on the other hand he is making ground breaking decision unilaterally.
He states that rescinded firing of Edgar Lungu as PF Chief Executive Officer clearly indicates the alleged hate Dr Scott has for Mr Lungu, the disrespect he has for the late President and the Zambian and African tradition and the appetite to cause civil strife in the country.
Mr Nyirenda says OYV is delighted at the realization by the PF Central Committee that it has power and authority over Dr. Scott and the decision to force him to rescind his unilateral decision of firing Edgar Lungu.
The OYV Executive Director warns that the PF Central Committee and Cabinet risk losing out with Dr. Guy Scott at the helm as he is clearly not working alone and the quicker the two organs put their feet down and refuse to be subjected to cheap politics the better for them.
