Home Affairs Minister Stephen Kampyongo says the Patriotic Front Government will remain submissive to the church in Zambia when it comes to matters of dialogue as they are an integral part of the national governance system.
Speaking in an interview on the Copperbelt, Mr. Kampyongo said contrary to insinuations being peddled there is no acrimony between the Church and the PF government
Mr. Kampyongo said it is unfortunate that some ill meaning people are creating an impression that there is an impulse between government and the Church even when the two understand that they are stakeholders in national development.
Meanwhile Mr Kampyongo says the national dialogue bill that was recently passed into law in parliament is an important trend setting law that will provide a legal framework on how all the stakeholders peace building are going to validate the submissions made to the process.
He said the bill is a national framework which is meant to steer the whole country forward with regards to running a healthy democracy and not made for individuals who have personal political differences.
Mr. Kampyongo said the just passed national dialogue bill is all-inclusive law whose crafting went through very careful consultation with all stakeholders including the church and law enforcement agencies.
He said it is very unfortunate that the opposition members of parliament think being in opposition means they should oppose every bill brought to the house by the PF government even if such a bill is progressive.
And Mr Kampyongo says the opposition United Party for National Development should not mislead the Zambian people into thinking that the arrest of their leader Hakainde Hichilema is the genesis of the national dialogue bill
He said both UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema and President Edgar Lungu are just individuals who will run their time and move on for others take over.
Liar
PF and submissive used in the same sentence? It can’t. Never in a million years.
PF is just good at talking and making statements which they never follow up.
How investigations have Lungu promised? Market fires, murdered girl at Unza, fire tenders, …list is endless yet there has not even been one conclusion or update.
If Bishop Mpundu is commanded to go and have a dialogue with the his majestic Lungu at PF Secretariat, and Archbishop say no say, unless you come to meet at our cathedral church.
Then Archbishop will be sentenced to 6 months imprisonment. As per new Dialogue LAW.
The Government must not be submissive to any particular group or organization. They should instead partner with all communities to ascertain best practices for improving lives and well being, economically and socially.
The church contains millions that can be hoodwinked into a certain political direction. FTJ reaped from there now it’s Lungu’s turn.
In fact it started with the colonialists who converted us to the church then told us that they were from God and we believed and allowed them to oppress us.
Sounds wise BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT PF’s WORDS ARE NOT DEEDS!! Look at so many broken promises with regard to high taxes,ending corruption,stopping political violence,freeing space for other political parties etc…even this is meant to hoodwink people that they respect the church when not,except the minor ones that they have bought using ” akasaaka ka ndalama”!!
Ubufi Fititi!
PF Actions speak louder than their cheap rhetoric!
When leaders become too big headed, just know they are on their way out!
I am hurt with the emotional closure of CBU! What kind of irresponsible leaders do we have who don’t take anything seriously? You waste money on a jet when university students and lecturers go unpaid for months. When they complain, you say we close? Parents have paid for tuitions that won’t take place. Wait!
Kampyongo, it’s deeds and not words, you’re all lost sheep. If Christ were to come during your Cabinet meeting, all of you can be shamed, including Godfrida Sumaili. That’s the level of PF decay, your moral perception is very low
lying is a sin, so our leaders are terrible sinners before the lord, amen
So ninshi balefwayaba, shameless liars, your days are numbered
This is a message for the gullible meant to woodwick. These guys stopped pretending to be governing in 2015 after Data. Now all they do is releasing statement to appear to the ordinary people that they care and are fearing. Woke up Zambia. Vote out all the of and mmd
Look at them, shamelessly ready to pull out the bible and dupe the masses.
Kapoyongo is the commander with Davis Mwila of PF thugs.
Only after Sesheke now UPND know the power of video evidence……we have lungu issuing fake instructions to stop violence while off camera they are mobilising like how they are blocking Harry Kalabas movements and threatening anyone with violence who questions if lungu is a corrupt thief.
