I dont see any reason as to why Guy scott cannot discharge the functions of the President whilst we prepare to have by elections. Article 38(2) of the Constitution of Zambia is couched in clear terms, it states: 38. (2) Whenever the office of the President becomes vacant, the Vice-President or, in the absence of the Vice-President or if the Vice President is unable, by reason of physical or mental infirmity, to discharge the functions of his office, a member of the Cabinet elected by the Cabinet shall perform the functions of the office of the President until a person elected as President in accordance with Article 34 assumes office. -From the above article, the Vice President is precluded from discharging the functions of the President under two circumstances that is: 1. If he is absent from the country. 2. If he is physically or mentally incapacitated. -Forget the talk about his citizenship and parentage. He is not standing for presidency or contesting for the sit but he will merely be discharging the functions of the President. RIP SATA>>>KING COBRA>>With this useless opposition and lack of leadership in the PF government,LORD HELP US.
