Share

National Guidance and Religious Affairs Minister, the Rev Godfridah Sumaili has said that Zambia is blessed to have a God-fearing leader in President Edgar Chagwa Lungu. Hon. Sumaili said the President has demonstrated his ability to develop the nation and that his works are speaking for him.

She said in his agenda for development, the President had made it a point to take development to all parts of the nation without discrimination, and leaving no one behind. She pointed at schools, hospitals, roads, communication towers as things the PF and President Lungu can point at as their deliverables.

The Minister said this when she drummed up support for the PF candidate in the forthcoming parliamentary by-elections for Lukasha constituency. Hon. Sumaili urged the people of Lukasha to vote for Mr. George Chisenga because he will be able to fulfill the vision of the Patriotic Front and President Lungu for Lukasha constituency.

She took time to urge the women and youth of the area to take advantage of the various empowerment programs that the government has lined up. She said women are by nature very caring and empowering them is empowering the entire nation.

She said voting for Mr. Chisanga would make it easy for Lukasha to have an equal opportunity to a share of the national cake.

Meanwhile, Rev Sumaili said has said that President Lungu will not leave anyone behind in empowerment programs, the Church included. She said the church would soon receive its share of empowerment to enable the clergy to also engage in economic activities such as chicken rearing and aquaculture among other ventures.

The Minister said this when she addressed the clergy at an interdenominational meeting held at St. James Catholic in Lukasha this afternoon.

She urged the church to continue being an example to the nation in issues of peace and coexistence.

She said the church had continued to complement the government’s efforts in areas of education, health, water, and sanitation among others. The Minister has called on the church to pray for the nation ahead of the 2021 general elections.

  1. And I don’t really give a fu.ck.
    I personally would like a leader that is a non-believer like myself because atleast they won’t be exploitation using religion which results in irrational policies like the case has been since as far as I can remember.
    Being god-fearing whatever it means doesn’t qualify one to lead,

  2. Kikikiki…this is joke of the day.
    This is the Ministry causing the Kwacha to continue to depreciate.
    You were quiet when Nawakwi was commiting sin bearing False Witness against an innocent person. Just shows what a mockery your ministry is. Always remember that Actions Speak louder than cheap words.

  4. Rev Sumaili, should never have left her office to go on a campaign trail for the party. Her job was only to focus on religious matters and not take sides. This is why they say money is all route to evil on this earth. We’re on borrowed time and all this wealth will be left.

  5. MWILA SHENTEKA LESA MWEBANENSU ALA LESA TABEPWA, ALA SEBANYA ILINGILINE PAMENSO YABANTU ( DO NOT TEMPT GOD MY FRIENDS, GOD CAN NOT BE CHEATED, HE SHAMES MOST OF THE TIME IN THE PRESENCE OF OTHER PEOPLE). IF GOD CAN SHAME THE DEVIL HIMSELF, WHO ARE WE TO CLAIM IMMUNITY FROM SHAME IF WE TEMPT HIM.

  6. This unnecessary religious affairs ministry is a drain on our resources. Salvation does not come through having such ministries. This is one of the worst calamities to have befallen Zambia, just the very existence of this ministry. Reduce this ministry to a directorate under community development please.

  9. Ba Sumaili just committed a sin number 9. The ninth commandment says ” thy shall not be a false witness to your neighbor “. She is a false witness, Edgar is daily sinner.

  10. What is the real meaning of God fearing….the so called Pastors committing adultery every day…the so called President stealing and bankrupting the country…just what are you talking about iwe Godridah with your useless ministry

  11. This government continues sinking low. Everything is a paradox. What they say is the complete opposite of what they do.

  12. What God fearing imwee ba Kapoli baba Bantu sure? This your Chagwa is a muslim…you even know that he has no Church he goes to, meaning up to the time he became president he was either never going to church as a non-believer or was busy frequenting the Mosque every Friday. Please stop nosesi of calling Chagwa God fearing as a way of buying votes from uniinformed citizens. Chagwa is a pagan who can not even qoute a single verse from the bible,, it is as simple as that! Stop misleading people ba kabalwe imwee…..

  13. Ba fikala ba Lusaka times, have you also become PF boot lickers because of brown evelopes you receive from them-hence not publishing any postings criticising them? Or is this kama site now controlled by kaizer who can post anything rubbish about the opposition minus being blocked while us being blocked? If you arent careful, you shall go down with PF because of your love for stolen money from PF

  15. Mama Sumaili, what is God fearing. Is painting an innocent person a thief godly? Why can’t you appeal to PF campaigners, those false campaigners who bring the name of the Lord in vain. I only respect those PF campaigners with substance, not those false servants with their false gods who accuse innocent people and pretending things are fine.

  16. Firstly lungus gods are his PF stooges he is so afraid of to correct or rebuke. Secondly fearing God is doing what is right and pleasing to Him and not n making a ministry that adds no value to the nation whilst people are suffering everyone in that ministry are drawing unnecessary salaries for Zero job done.

  17. Careful, God can’t be mocked!! God fearing leaders don’t crush people like a tone of bricks, don’t victimize opponents with treason! Or abrogate the law with impunity!
