Sata opts for colonial office at State House, abandons presidential room

January 22, 2013 | Filed under: Breaking News | Posted by:

President Michael Sata has reportedly abandoned the usual presidential office that has been used by all Zambian presidents opting to use the one slightly upstairs that was once used by the last Northern Rhodesia Governor, Sir. Evelyn Hone.

Sources from State House said they are surprised that Mr. Sata has abandoned the presidential office and has moved to the colonial governor’s office at State House that has never been used by any Zambian president before.

State Houses sources are wondering what that interprets to or what Mr. Sata fears in the office that has been used by Kenneth Kaunda, Late Frederick Chiluba, late Levy Mwanawasa, and Rupiah Banda.

  2. Bravo Mr President Bravo Mr. Sata , This Shows that he is not a racist already we have a white Vice President Guy Scott , Secondly the situation just remains the same the Whole State House is Colonial. The only Problem in Zambia is that you easily go witchcraftwise basing you assumptions on baseless grounds , by the way Sata a Chatholic , If he had problems with say “Haunting” the Chatholic Priests are Good at Exocism, So One Time – Kukatafia ka devil.

    Last but not least Good Move Mister President, maybe by changing rooms and seats you will not forget the poor Zambians and also avoid those rats (Vi-Mbeba) Left by RB.

  4. The location of an office is inconsequential.

    what matters is whether the work is done. Katele did work from a hut when he was on the run.

    ask about outputs and not such.

  7. Imagine HH employing george chellah as PS when he comes into power. Absurd isn’t it. The civil service story regarding mwamba is what they prepared long before sats came into power. There’s something fishy, or is it meaty

  8. the president is scared of his lies and he opts to go and destroy the ba64 by the way chiluba used to instruct in bemba but there its british language he is going to find he going to be hopeless

  11. Ba zed! Fools… Some of u are just jealous and malicious! President Sata,plz,have ur office where ever u want. Its still at state house,y the fuss. We can’t hear the fuss abt barrack moving his office because great minds are not trivial. This is trivial!!!

  13. is there anything wrong sure but Zambians you have time for things that do not even add value at all ,why can’t you mind your own business.He has shifted no fuss about it he has chosen its fine.

    • @GEN K its really sad that your the one that has time for things that do not even add value at all, how can you defend him doing something that adds no value to anything at all,instead of him dealing with many challenges in the country right now…and the indiscipline in PF?

  18. Unless the Presidential Office at State House is under renovation, it is folly of the President to break with tradition. Imagine the French President moving out of The “Salon doré” (Golden Room), or the US President shifting from the Oval Office. Am sure there is a logical explaination for this action, unless the ‘Butcher of Chawama’ is up to his usual insanity.

    • Mwamba is a civil servant, who was seconded to the Office of the Second President as a special assistant. Remember that the retirement package includes protection by state security too. KK has a similar team and so does RB.

  22. Every Why has a wherefore… That’s what makes this news worthy. Unless critics are saying he is an impulsive person who makes decisions without reasons. Remember these institutions go by precedent so when one breaks the precedent, there is need for people to be curious

    Ulemu ni Wabwino - January 22, 2013

    • I agree with you entirely because we need to be curious everytime something out of the ordinary happens in our country. We should never lose our curiosity. It is what keeps our minds agile. The shallow thinkers’ minds or those minds that lack analytical thought go to sleep.

  24. I am still waiting for Ukwa’s Press Conference. Why is he scared of facing the media? A barrage of questions? Pre-prepared questions can still be submitted to State House ahead of the Press Conference and answers prepared by his team, as many Heads of State do world wide.

  33. As a president with the kind of power only next to God, u wud think the one thing different he wud want to do wud be something for the good of all Zambians such as has never been done by all former presidents. But he chooses the simplest of things wich even the powerless me can do – using a different office frm that used by his predecessors!

    T.H - January 22, 2013

  34. The reason why he has moved is that he is running away from a Computer, There is a computer in the office which he can’t use as a result he has moved to a colonial office were there is nothing.
