It has been another day of shocking political incompetence in PF. We woke up to news that Nixon Chilangwa MP had naively taken on the most unwanted job in the country. He had accepted the job of PF Secretary General after Davies Mwila MP turned it down. Mwila's resignation brought much embarrassment to VP Guy Scott. As Chilangwa was accepting the appointment, riots from overnight were still continuing by students and PF cadres.
Edgar Lungu MP finally spoke through a lengthy statement. He refused to step down and accused Scott of acting treasonous: "I am aware that there is an attempt to usurp state and party powers to a group now commonly known as the ''cartel". The action by Dr. Guy Scott to illegally assume the office of party president and to pretend to perform such functions therein in the absence of the harmonization of this constitutional conflict, is promoting disharmony".
Finance Minister Alexander Chikwanda MP quickly followed observing that the decision to remove Lungu "may cause a massive cultural shock among mourners countrywide, fracture the smooth preparations for burial and impair the image of the ruling PF Party". Speaking for the family, he suggested that Scott's action are compounding [the First Lady's] anguish and that of the children and the rest of the family".
