Samson Moyo Guma

"I have not decided on a date yet but I have taken a decision to retire from partisan politics. The date will be announced and this will be before the end of my term as MP. I think I have done my part, I don’t want to find myself pointing fingers at people – two terms is fine."

"When I do take the decision to leave, I will not take part in any partisan politics. I am engaged in other institutions."

"My life continues but I want a private life."

"I do not want to partake in the confusion and the destruction of the values of this country. If these politicians want to destroy this country, let them do so without some of us. There are more important things to be concerned about than to be fighting for positions."

"We need to make sure that we have strong institutions."

"We need to review it. I am going to advocate for that."

"We should be very careful when we apply our laws."

"When I maintained that I am not leaving, Khama still went on to announce that I had left."

"They were in-fightings that were just too deep, so I decided to leave and rather operate as an independent. The BDP and Khama then came to me and pleaded with me to return. Out of courtesy I felt that if I was going to resist, people back home would think there was some sinister motive and so I decided to go back, at least just to finish off my term."

"The whole idea was that a motion of no confidence should be moved against me. (Shaw) Kgathi and (Vincent Seretse) VT tipped me to say that the caucus was up to something. The other thing was that the entire central committee was going to resign."

"At that point in time I was doing work in Zimbabwe. They went and closed my accounts. I was put in a corner and so I decided to leave. I phoned Khama and handed in my resignation, I told him he did not have to go that far. I did not leave on my own volition."

"whatever we do as public officers must be done in the interest of the public."
