The Evangelical Youth Alliance International (EYA) has backed President Rupiah Banda’s observation that Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in Africa were criticizing African governments.
President Banda told delegates at the just ended World Economic Forum in Dar-es-salaam , Tanzania that NGOs in Africa were at all times attacking serving heads of state a situation he said was retrogressive.EYA President, Moses Lungu said the observation by President Banda is timely.
Reverend Lungu said most NGOs have abandoned their roles of service delivery to the people and shifted their goal posts to attacking and suppressing the governments of the day.
Speaking in an interview with ZANIS in Lusaka today, Rev. Lungu observed that Chief Executives of the NGOs have become agents of imperialism whose core agenda is to advocate for regime change of governments.
Rev. Lungu reminded the NGOs that President Banda is mandated by the Zambian people to drive the nation to economic recovery.He said the NGOs’ motive was clear and that it was a recipe for anarchy and civil unrest that could lead the country into the doldrums of poverty, disease and under-development.
Meanwhile, Rev. Lungu has observed that the violence that marred the Mufumbwe parliamentary by-election was a desperate move by the opposition UPNDF/PF pact. He appealed to government not to relent in bringing the culprits to book because violence is detrimental to national security.
The Clergyman expressed fears that slowly the violence that characterized the Mapatizya polls in Southern province and now in Mufumbwe would engulf the entire nation and lead to a civil war if left unchecked.
Rev. Lungu charged that the UPND/PF pact threw away the Electoral Code of Conduct in the
Mufumbwe elections and adopted the ‘Mapatizya formula’ to instill fear in the electorate.
The EYA president further appealed to the Electoral Commission of Zambia to intensify Voter Education Programmes.
(Q FM)
There is nothing wrong in critising a sleeping govt. NGOs must speak because they are suplimenting govt effort in making a better Zambia. What is wrong is wrong there is no time to sweep anything under the carpet.
Fellow Zambian who is this Reve Moses Lungu? He should have been given alot money to support the wrong doings of govt and speaking negative about the opposition leader.
”Meanwhile, Rev. Lungu has observed that the violence that marred the Mufumbwe parliamentary by-election was a desperate move by the opposition UPNDF/PF pact.”
HOW CAN THIS REVEREND SPEAK FACTUALLY? IF HE KNOWS WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE VIOLENCE IN MUFUMBWE, WHY HASN’T HE GONE TO THE AUTHORITIES (with evidence) TO REPORT THE ”CRIMINALS”?
These are the people, because of their selfish intentions, who are taking our nation backwards.
Ba Rev Lungu, how much have they given to you? Just join Fr Bwalya in red card’ you are the same Rev, who stand in front of people preach fake just to get rich-Ati nga washita Key board then you make a church- Just keep ziii or join Fr Bwalya
Rev Moses Lungu is probably a young, disgruntled, selfish 20-something year old boy who does not even know what is good for him! It’s like those ‘parishioners’ from Chawama that gave an ultimatum to the Pope to remove Bishop T Mpundu. Where are they now?What came out of their ultimatum? They were paid a few coins to cause confusion and they have since disappeared.
Nga uyu rev ichipuba afuma kwisa?
Nga uyu rev *ich*puba afuma kwisa?

Some people can’t even use common sense which is never taught, Ba Rev have asked yourself why there was no violence in Milanzi? the answer is very simple MMD knew they were going to lose in mufumbwe so they tried their level best to intimidate people and cause confusion at will but hey it didn’t work, if u are a real clergy how about telling RB not to be insulting people at will, Mwebeniko kabili tunfwe!!!

what hunger can do to a man is amazing! he can even sell his birthright just for a serving spoon full of bean stew! shame on the Rev misrepresenting the gospel message.
If you are a brother, you are embarrassing us, you should be the sort of the world Rev.
Oh dear not “agents of imperialism” pliz. So who is going to buy all those nice new pajeros for your relatives if you chase the NGOs?
Uyu monko Rev Lungu was just one of the Kaponyas in Chimwemwe, Kitwe way back in the 80s but is using the calling in the wrong way, may God deliver him
new post news paper online is born! now we have two posts! postzambia1.com
Rev Lungu was a Kaponya in Chimwemwe, Kitwe in the 8Os, God saved him but he is now completely useless
A rev who kn nt stand up and defend ze poor in this country,let alone defend ze poor in his church,his interest is not to serve God but to serve self. a rev who supports leaders who dnt care for ze poor in this country, wat a shame on these self seekin reverends. rememba one thing…JESUS is alive!!!!!
All I can say is, I remember seeing several reverends going to State House and coming out with brown envelops. They then anointed Chiluba as the chosen one of God. That was during the third term campaign. RB must have learned from the best!!!
Seeing as the very existence of NGO’s is brought about by the need to fill a service deficit in which the governments are not providing, it goes without saying that NGOs are doing what government should be doing, so as such they should have a say when the government is not doing on top of already not doing in the first place.
