This ministry of religious affairs needs to go.It is unfit for Zed and it is a waste of public Kwachas.
How much did taxpayers send on this useless hen Godfridah Sumaili and her ministry in past 5 years?

Every time I see a report about or from this ministry I cringe. It’s quite an embarrassment.
Lesa wamaka. All those evil prayers by upnd diasporans who were wishing us to have terrible effects of covid failed. In fact those prayers were sent back to sender because it is there in diaspora where they are dying like chickens in KFC abattoir
Useless ministry, just as useless as ur dull boss, both are not needed at all
The most classic adage regarding trolling is, “Don’t feed the trolls.” Trolls seek out emotional responses and find provocation amusing, so replying to them or attempting to debate them will only make them troll more. By ignoring a troll completely, they will likely become frustrated and go somewhere else on the internet.
You should try your best not to take anything trolls say seriously. No matter how poorly they behave, remember these people spend countless unproductive hours trying to make people mad. They’re not worth your time of day.
