Government has urged Zambians not to listen to people saying the PF government will remove the Christian nation clause from the constitution.
Information minister Given Lubinda says it is not true that president Sata’s government intends to remove the Christian nation declaration clause from the constitution.
Mr Lubinda says those spreading such lies are merely politicking and should not bring God’s name in politics.
And Mr Lubinda has advised some church mother bodies complaining that they have been left out of the technical committee to draft a new constitution not to feel left out.
He explained that the Zambia Episcopal Conference which is the mother body of all churches in the country will represent their views.
The minister was speaking at the annual conference for the Global Word of Life Pentecostal Assemblies in Kabwata on Saturday.

Yawn!!
What difference does it make anyway, remove the clause, you and your people don’t know what it entails to be a Christian nation, You bunch of hypocrites!!!
Yes It is, untill the 3 catholic gay bishops rewrite the constitution.
GIVEN DON’T WORRY, OPPOSITION IS TRYING HARD TO MAKE YOUR WORK DIFFICULT BUT THEY ARE JUST MAKING THEIRS DIFFICULT. WE DON’T LISTEN TO THEIR YAP YAP YAP.
SIMBA ADNDEKE!!!!! I FEEL SORRY 4 YOU WITH YOUR COMMENT. IS THIS CHRISTIANITY YOU CLAIM TO BE OR YOU ARE. VERY, VERY SAD INDEED!
If it were me l could have removed it without even being apologetic. It is not Biblical. You don’t honour God through useless declarations. Act christianity not ifwakubwabwatafye.
Very True!
Why should anyone listen to Hon Lubinda. Lets hear it from HE MCS himself. Prof Nkandu Luo made a lot of ‘noise’ about clearing and ridding the streets of Lusaka from vendors. What came next- a presidential directive to allow the vendors to trade freely in the streets. Hon Lubinda will be embarrased when he learns the President does not share his view. Let the President state his position – period?? Why is he adamant to to tell us?? Just like he has failed to explain what happened to his plan of 90 days for BRE agreement.
FTJ Chiluba and Company used this useless declaration as a smokescreen to plunder the treasury and auction off the government companies for next to nothing. Get over it and get rid of it this absolutely useless declaration.
Whether christian or secular it really does not matter, what matters is that referendums should be held on critical issues like homosexualilty. What is the position of Zambians on this issue?
The only way Zambia will develop is if we involve all Zambians; Christian, Muslim, gay, straight, black, white, tonga, bemba, etc.
Declaration and action: Whether we call Zambia a Christian Nation or not ,it does not matter.What matters is how Zambia conducts herself in relation to her citizenry and the international community.Being a Chritsian declared nation while promoting hatred and PHD phenominon does not mean we stand by the Biblical noms.We all know that poverty come in when Chiluba covered us in the Shadow of “The Christian Declaration”.Deeds will judge us not Angelic Declarations.After all even declaring Zambia as ” One Zambia One NAtion State” would still pay as long as all tribes are regarded and treated equally,not were certain ministries are controlled by specific tribes and 80 plus percent people belong to one tribe
Here comes another MORON Chimpanzee in the name of Information minister Given Lubinda! Lubinda uli CHIPUBA SANAAAA!
Surely even though you may be an ignorant member of the EVIL Roman Catholic Organisation and its Vatican office; LUBINDA you can not say that, “the Zambia Episcopal Conference represent all Churches in Zambia?”
The Roman Catholic Church is NOT a Church but a government with its Capital and king Pope in the Vatican. It has its own strange Doctrine which is different from other Christian Churches! All different!
Zambia Episcopal Conference works with Council Churches of Zambia and Evangelical Fellowship of Zambia as Christian MOTHER Bodies in Zambia!
Can someone from the Roman Catholic Church educate this GOAT Lubinda to stop his nonsense statements
ulichipuba…..icileponya namalenda….idiot
This FULISH GOAT Lubinda is giving Pastor Nevers Mumba a FREE Political gift on a SILVER plate!
Since when has the Roman Catholic Church through its Zambia Episcopal Conference represented all Christian Churches in Zambia? NEVER!
Surely Lubinda even though you just came from Kabwe where you praising the Roman Catholic and KNEELING Down before the Roman Catholic Organisation; you can not be ignorant like this!
How do you INSULT Zambian Evangelical and Pentecostal Christians who does NOT KNOW and have nothing to do with the Roman Catholic Organisation’s Zambia Episcopal Conference by imposing the Zambia Episcopal Conference on them?
You honestly together with your PF government DON’T DESERVE my VOTE!
You PANTRY PACK!
imbecile….
These guys are still promising? Shwww! Anyways,we know how good they are when it comes to promises…….,,:-?
Zambia remains a poor ,corrupt witch hunting 3rd world nation.
The flurry of witch hunting being engineered by the PF Govt on their perceived political enemies suggests that the hatredd they are nurturing does not place them anywhere near any forms of Christian way of living. Besides, Given Lubinda’s statement on the inclusion of “Zambian-as-a-Christian-Nation does not seem to have the blessing of his President Sata. This mulato must just quietly enjoy the ephemeral glory as the sun shines
“He explained that the Zambia Episcopal Conference which is the mother body of all churches in the country will represent their views”. Is that so Lubinda? Anyway, I am not even aware that ZEC has accepted to nominate three catholic bishops to the so called committee of experts to the exclusion of other churches. The last I heard from them was when they spoke through Oasis Forum expressing their concerns about the legality of that committee.
GIVEN DIDNT SAY THAT OKEY!.THIS IS A RESULT OF POOR SPELLING SKILLS BY THE WRITER OF THE STORY.I RECOMMEND THE ENTIRE NEWS STAFF AND EDITORS OF THIS BLOG SHOULD GO BACK TO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
If I may ask,How were we living before FTJ declared Zambia as a christain nation?Were we not Christains then?What do you call a constitution?Is a preamble in the constitution part of the constituition?Where is this declaration placed in the current Zambian constirtution?I have no problems in deleting the declaration of zambia being a christian nation because its not part of the constitution and I have been a christian before the declaration.I will continue to be so after it has been removed.Without a delaration but to rule Zambia based on 10 commandments is far better than declaring it a christain nation but rulling against biblical principles.
Its very difficult to see the importance of the declaration from the physical ,unless from the spiritual .there is power in declaration ,just like when president declares a day to be a public holiday,it becomes
It was
declared and soon it shall be fulfilled.
What witch hunt when all but you are aware that the former leaders were stealing except we have to prove it. Are you a beneficiary? Thats why we rejected them, despite trying hard to bribe the electorate. Problem some of you are seated in your homes whether in Zambia or abroad, managing more than three square meals a day you think all Zambians are like that. Civil servants were brought down to beggers by the former regime, dont you see they were even burrying some cash, we shall pursue them and if found guilty sent to prisons they neglected Viva MCS Viva new DPP, that why they were jittery about the uncompromised new DPP. GOD BLESS ZAMBIA.
The fires of hell are burning brightly at his very moment for they likes of evil hypocrites like FTJ Chiluba, and you, YES YOU; will be judged as an individual by god not whether you lived in a Christian nation. What does it entail living in a Christian Nation?
Tolerant western countries have high moral standards than Zambians, only in Zambia can a politician with multiple sexual scandals aspire for the highest office in the Land. Only in Zambia can a corrupt leader hold ministerial position.
What have gay people ever done to you, in fact the gays have helped in AIDS research, those ARV tablets you took this morning were supplied courtesy of the pink pound and pink dollar.
eish. I need to be educated here,coz i dont seem to get it. If we declare that our country is a Christian nation and not a bit semblance of Christian deeds are being exhibited, too much hatred PHD proscuimity lives led by our leaders, street kids just ignored the poor just lanquishing in squalor hoplessness on our faces, but we still go to worship Our God.I thot salvation is palobe and yo household. Countries like Nigeria have powerful men of God but its not a declared Christian nation so can we say that if this declaration is maintained then Spiritual we going to be a better nation. eish i am begging for a honest answer. Nshile fwaya abansele to respond to my querry.
@ zimman nigeria has no powerful men of god’ it has crafty con artists like TB Joshua & Co.
Ba Baggie you are right, the Bible says Life and death is in the Power of the tongue, and our declaring Zambia to be a christian nation is a good thing and should be left in the her constitution so that We become a christian nation. the declaration when made by Fjt also meant us begining to go towards being that.lets not be ignorant that when other nation are declared Islamic nations they mean it and everything they do surrounds those principles of Islam. its amazing that when u are in islamic nations u follow and obey what they have declared, now here, its sad that we want to open up for them yet they do not open up for christianity at all.For once lets allow God to rule over us in all we do as a nation and not just copy whatever the western world is telling us…allowing abominations
being gay is an abomination to God, and if other nations have allowed such things to become law, we shouldnt, let them pay the consequences for doing that and lets not walk in their path too. isnt is no wonder strange things are happening around these nations?? gay countries, islamic countries, which we ALL can clearly see that non have solutions to them??? lets think for a moment for example, the USA how can they keep having re-occurent ressessions coming? what happened to the great brains that are trained at universities like havard? what happened to the geniuses? you mean there is no great brain that can give a solution to their economic problems that today USA should need China?…the quicker we realise that GOD has began to shake nations that think they can rule without HIM, better
