Opposition United Party for National Development (UPND) leader Hakainde Hichilema has urged people in the country to pray for President Michael Sata’s quick recovery and God’s guidance.
Mr. Hichilema says it is clear from President Sata’s alleged failure to fully officiate at this year’s Labour Day and African Freedom Day commemorations that he is apparently unwell the more reason why people in the country should pray for him.
Mr. Hichilema has told Qfm news in a telephone interview that his party has particularly urged people in the country to pray for the Head of State because it does not take pleasure in his falling sick.
He says the UPND does not also think that it is right for anyone to speak ill of President Sata when is believed to be unwell.
The UPND leader notes that he personally wants President Sata to recover from his alleged illness as it is important that all political leaders are in good health as they debate and compete on bring out the best policies that will improve people’s lives.
He says this is why people in the country should not rejoice over the President%u2019s falling ill.
But in a separate interview Chief Government spokesperson, who is also Information and Broadcasting Minister, Joseph Katema has dismissed as politicking suggestions that President Sata failed to officiate at this year’s Labour Day and African Freedom Day celebrations because he is unwell.
And Youth and Sport Minister Chishimba Kambwili has also observed that there is nothing special about President Sata’s falling sick as sickness can befall in anyone.
Mr. Kambwili has told Qfm news that it is however unfortunate that some political parties have already started campaigning for presidency in view of the alleged falling sick of President Sata.
Mr. Kambwili has charged if there are some people who are anticipating that President Sata will die they should know that it will not happen not until he fulfills his mission.
He says this is why the ruling Patriotic Front (PF) will not appreciate mischievous prayers from people who have other thoughts in mind as regards President Sata’s wellbeing.
Prayers are needed and whatever goes on this time, the truth should be told to the nation. Someone from MMD just poked a joke of the year. Time to smart up pa PF.
This is actually a sound statement from HH
Thanks
This is good if it is not all about Political Mileage.
No wonder Hjoe Moono would write what he wrote about Sata today.
What do you pray for when Sata himself says is well.
Chellah is from saying that the President is fine. let’s not base our prayers on speculation, let the truth be told first.
Kambwili its not you to accept Zambian peoples prayers our president Michael Sata to recover and get well. You too need to pray and not just politic as usual. You first have to admit that our president is unwell and then ask our God for his restoration of his health to carry out national duties.
Iye abalelanda ati tupepe!
HH should be the last person to wish MCS well when people already know his wish from the past. Don’t fool people, they are not kids. You don’t like MCS and KK the world knows.
@master dribbler, however much u may hate a person, when u see them in a state like chilufya is now and u r sane, u will feel sorry. HH may not like the man chilu (from way back as u put it) but i think he has some humane instincts hence his plea. Waigwila!
You are just a sub-human mongrel ! Why should blame HH for Sata`s illness.
If only we had the power to see the truth which is in a mans heart, words are words but the heart cannot lie.
we know hh does not mean well , thats why never a church he is a manson hahaha we know these things
After all Zambians are humane enough to wish each other good health inspite our ideological spectrumical differences. This has made proud to be called a zambian
HH THANKS FOR THE KIND WORDS AND VISION OVER THE CONDITION OF MICHEAL SATA CHILUFYA CHARLES MWANGO KATONGO TO WISH HIM WELL.
WHILE HH MEANS WELL OTHERS ARE SEEING DIFFERENTLY AND HIS MESSAGE TO THEM NOT WORTHY. BUT THESE GUYS CHEATS BECAUSE EVERY BODY KNOWS VERY WELL THAT OUR STATE PRESIDENT IS UNWELL. KNOW SATA MICHEAL CHILUFYA VERY WELL. BUT ALL MEEANING ZAMBIANS ARE SEEING THAT HEALTH IS FAILING HIM. ITS AFACT AND WE CAN NOT LEAVE IN THE WORLD OF PRETENCE THE APPEARANCE ITSELF SPEAKS VOLUMES BUT AS USUAL THOSE CHEATS ARE CLAIMING THAT SATA MICHEAL IS WELL AND YET HE IS SICK. SO LETS PUT ASIDE DECEITFULNESS AND PRAY FOR OUR STATE PRESIDENT JUST LIKE HH HAS RIGHTLY OBSERVED.THAT IS WHY HE HAS CALLED THEM USELESS BECAUSE THEY DONT CARE FOR HIM EXCEPT FOR THEIR JOBS HE HAS GIVEN THEM.
Pray, God has plan for everyone of us…
IYEE, NABA SATANIST NABO BALAPEPELAKO ABANTU, MWAA? VERY, VERY STRANGE INDEED. ABSOLUTE DECEIT FROM HH.
You are just a sub-human mongrel ! Why should blame HH for Sata`s illness.
ma double vision yapaka…. abena Andy Mazoka and George Kunda souls are haunting chi mudala
For once in my life ,i couldn’t agree more with HH.What ever HH says in the media pertaining politics is all But politics,but come on,face it,his human hence his got a heart to feel for his fellow contender.
HH is a good hearted man! remmember Sata had no compassion when he was in opposition. He loudly laughed at Mazoka, Levy and George Kunda’s illnesses. But I agree with HH it’s time to forgive and pray for the president, his condition brings sorrow to all of us. Its no longer a secret, let Kambwili and others like him burry their heads if they like.
Yes we need to pray because Paul gave an advise to the Thessalonians that Pray without ceasing let`t pray for each other and the National from another Financial meltdown especially when M/meal is going up and other commodities ,President SATA is well and we believe you Mr chella ,kambwili and Katema for telling the Zambian people the truth God Is watching and you will account for it .Any way fellow country men, women and Youth let as Pray so that the God Abraham reveals the truth.
