THE Government warned that it will not hesitate to de-register any organisation frastrating government effort.
Home affaris Deputy Mininster Nickson Chilangwa sounded the warning in Kafue during the official launch of the Retired Ministers and Kasaka Community Association of Clixby Estates.
Mr Chilangwa said the Government was ready to work with the church and any organisation that wanted to bring development but would not allow the church or any organisation to bring confusion in the country.
Mr Chilangwa said the removal of subsides was a decision taken for the good of the country.
He, however, said if the church felt there should be dialogue over the removal of susidies, it should follow the right channel and not try to bring confusion.
Mr Chilangwa called on the people of Kasaka to trust the Government on the issue of subsides as the move was made in the interest of the nation.
On homosexuality, Mr Chilangwa commended the church for opposing calls for homosexuality in Zambia.
He further said the Government would not accept calls for the release of the gay couples.
Speaking at the same function, Kafue District Commissioner (DC) Grace Ngulube condemed what happened at Bible Gospel Church in Africa (BIGOCA), saying men of God should desist from politiking as the move would bring the name of the church in disrepute.
Ms Ngulube said the church was there to give guidaiance to the Government and not to bring confusion in the nation.
‘We as Christians, let’s work together with the Government and bring development to this nation, not frustrating Government efforts,” she said
Zambia is a police state.
Come on Boma, you should be open to divergent views on national matters. Some issues we may agree upon, others we may not, but that does not mean we are frustrating development.
Ati BOMA hahaha, British Overseas Military Administration. Yes we are still under coloniolism, this time under China, India and Malasyia
The church and indeed the rest of the civil sociaty have a very strategic and important platform dat dey can use 2 diologue with 0 starkholders ,govt inclusive .Alas ! Wat bigoca, whatever , did was tantamount 2 childshness nd stupidity.
IT BOGOS MY MIND TO SEE HOW SOME ZAMBIANS ARE BEHAVING.GOING BY THE WAY U ARE BEHAVING FIRE WILL BE SEEN. 0 ZAMBIANS HAVE A DUTY TO PRESERVE PEACE. IT IS NOT JUST GOVT OR PF BUT 0,THE OPO, AND THE CS AND INDEED INDIVIDUALS
BEHAVING RESPONSIBLY MUST NOT BE DEMANDED ONLY FROM THE PARTY IN GOVT BUT FROM 0.SOME OPO AND C S ARE BEHAVING LIKE SPOILD BLUTS FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM.I HAVE NEVER HEAD THAT THEY HAVE ASKED 4 DIALOGUE WITH GOVT.THEY MUST BE NEUTRAL .
ACTUALLY THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR SHOWS HOW SOME ZAMBIANS CAN SALE THEIR COUNTRY O BECOZ OF BREAD AND BUTTER. PIPO LIKE SO CALLED BISHOP NDLOVU ARE KNOWN ADENT SUPPORTERS OF MMD. EVEN THOSE FROM CS ARE PIPO THAT SUPPORTED MMD BEFORE. THIS IS SICKENING.
What do you expect from a UNIP seed, nothing other than dictatorship, next elections in 2016 you will see SATA wa muyayaya standing Vs a Frog or a hyena
Just look at Zambia’s friends now; China – human rights abusers – Mugabe dictator and human rights abuser. Sata’s idols; Idi Adada Amin, Kumuzu Nkwazi Banda, Nyolali Mobutu “ Sese seko kuku Wasa banga”, Gadaffi, Mubaraki, Ian Smith, KK, Hitler the list is endless
What a country where a her citizens can’t save,work hard yet at the end of the day want to live like kings and queens. Demand accountability and transparence use of the would be served money .No need of organising clandistine meetings over subsdise .
Last time I checked Zambia was a democracy.So what are these Kaponya deputy ministers talking about?
Yes, that was last time. It no longer is a democracy. May be it is one in word but certainly not in practise. Lesa twafweni.
Pf govt should shot exhibiting high levl hypocrisy- when traditional chiefs or church bodies shower praise on pf its ok. But when the opposite is the case the entire party raise up against the chief or church.
Pf should realise that ours is democratic nation were people with divergent views should Allowed.
NO WONDER PIPO ARE ATTCKED IN THE CHURCH. IT IS BECAUSE OF THE IRRESPONSIBLE STATEMENT FROM THE BOMA.
i should have bn happy to see NGOs and the church organising prayers againt homesexuality bt th so called men of God ar busy organising prayers against the removal of subsidy. hate and frastrations can be seen. black friday against homesexuality could hv earned ndlovu a name and not this one.
The subsidies are about poor people who cannot afford the essential commodities, which are a NEED for staying ALIVE ! HOMOSEXUALITY is about unnatural acts that are born of man’s LUST like in the SODOM & GOMMORRAH days in the bible ! So, please D NOT LUMP THE TWO ISSUES TOGETHER !! Instead you should be seeking GOD’s forgiveness and guidance ! How can you compare an unnatural act with the people not being able to afford commodities due to removal of subsidies?? IS HOMOSEXUALITY AN ESSENTIAL COMMODITY, that every person in Zambia should NEEDS and should FIGHT FOR?
People CANNOT SURVIVE IF THEY CANNOT AFFORD mealie meal, fish, meat etc, BUT THEY CAN DO WITHOUT THE EVIL OF HOMOSEXUALITY !!! PLEASE DO NOT FORCE IT ON THE ZAMBIAN PEOPLE ! JUST EMMIGRATE TO WHICHEVER COUNTRY WELCOMES IT !!!
The NGOs’ and the churches’ main objective is to help alleviate poverty and the sufferings from communities that house the poorest of the poor ! This is like asking them to stop doing their job ! What planet is the PF living on where everybody is expected to totally agree with their unbelievable and untimely removal of policies? This is NOT the stone-age anymore, people have woken up from the KK era and do not expect to be taken back there !!
The PF’s manifesto was a SOCIALIST ONE, which after winning elections and a few drumfuls of power to their heads, have turned into a DICTATORSHIP, simply because they want to stay in power longer than the people WANT THEM TO !!
I WAS WATCHING NEWS A FEW MINUTES AGO,REPORTS ARE THAT GHANA HAS REMOVED SUBSIDIES ON FUEL AND THE GHANIANS HAVE NOT PROTEDTED OR DECLARED BLACK FRIDAYS!HH THINKS THIS AN ISSUE THAT WILL MAKE HIM POPULAR AND SOME PASTORS THINK THEY WILL GET MORE OFFERINGS!LETS BE SERIOUD AND MOVE ZAMBIA FORWARD WE CANNOT CONTINUE RECEIVING FREE THINGS FROM GOVERNMENT.WE MUST SACRIFICE A BIT MORE FOR OUR COUNTRY TO DEVELOP.VIVA PF!!
