Scott suspends 16 PF Central Committee members

Acting President Guy Scott has with immediate effect suspended sixteen members of the PF Central Committee for defying his orders not to hold the meeting today in Lusaka.

Announcing the development at his office this afternoon, Dr. Scott says this has been done in accordance with powers vested in him under Article 61 of the party constitution.

Dr. Scott has wondered why the Central Committee had to go ahead to hold a meeting at Blue Nile Lodge this morning without his permission.

Dr. Scott has since maintained that the Central Committee meeting expected to be held tomorrow at State House at 14hrs will go ahead as planned.

The members of the Central Committee that Dr. Scott has suspended include; Inonge Wina, Benson Chali, Rasford Mwale, Fabian Chiposo, John Chipanga, Malozo Shichone, Willy Nsanda, James Kapyanga, Obvious Chisala, Steven Kampyongo, Jean Kapata, Mwenya Musenga, Dr. Joseph Katema and Lazarous Chisanga.
