Vice President Inonge Wina has said government appreciates the positive response from the clergy towards the Covid-19 relief funds.
Mrs. Wina said it was pleasing that the clergy has welcomed the Covid-19 relief funds which was opposed by some sections of society.
She said she could not understand why some people condemned the provision of the relief fund.
“Your willingness to participate with my office under DMMU so that you become ambassadors of the disaster management risk committees has made government proud and we are grateful,” she said when she held a meeting with members of the clergy in Kitwe today.
She said the church should continue providing moral support to the members and politicians because molarity is a major contributor to the growth of peace in the country.
Mrs. Wina said President Edgar Lungu is very committed to uplifting the works of the Lord as he believes in the principles and teachings of the Bible.
She said it was through believing in the Bible that made President Lungu think of extending a helping hand to various denominations.
The Vice President has meanwhile urged the clergy to encourage politicians, especially young ones, from perpetuating violence so that peace prevails in the country during elections.
And the clergy in Kitwe has expressed concern with the ongoing go slow by resident doctors amidst the Covid-19 pandemic.
Representing other members of the clergy, Kitwe Pastors Fellowship chairperson, Raddy Lewilla has since strongly appealed to the Resident Doctors Association of Zambia (RDAZ) and the Ministry of Health to quickly resolve the matter for the benefit of humanity.
He said it was worrying that doctors can go on strike at a time when the Covid-19 is seriously affecting the country.
Meanwhile, Bishop Lewilla said the church on the Copperbelt province appreciates the massive infrastructure development, which will accelerate economic development in the region and the country as a whole.
He said the church in the district has no intention to depart from the unprecedented development agenda which government under the Patriotic Front has initiated in the last ten years.
He added that the church in Kitwe will also continue contributing to the construction of the national house of prayer which he described as a ‘wonderful’ gift to the men and women of the pulpit.
And Bishop Lewilla has expressed gratitude to government on the rolling out of the Covid-19 relief package to the clergy and the general church membership.
He said the formation of cooperatives in the district has resulted in many churches benefiting from the relief funds.
He has since called on the Ministry of National Guidance and Religious Affairs to accelerate the screening process of applicants so that many cooperatives may benefit from the funds.
“The church has also signed an MoU through the formation of a task force which is aimed at sensitising the general public on Covid-19 and also distribute materials carrying the messages on the pandemic,” Bishop Lewilla said.
And speaking earlier, Copperbelt Province Permanent Secretary, Bright Nundwe acknowledged the unity that has been displayed by the clergy on the Copperbelt.
Mr. Nundwe expressed happiness that the church in Kitwe and Copperbelt province as a whole has pledged to continue working closely with government.
Does it look like a molar tooth…. this thing?
LT…. molarity?? Do they have sufficient chemistry background to preach molarity??
Iye mwe Lesa…bushe muli kwi mwe mfumu. Aba bantu babi sana using your name in vain to advance their political agenda. Meanwhile opposition have been told you cannot campaign because of COVID-19. Vote PF out. The clergy must be impartial and not belong to any political party but here it is clear where Lewilla gets his bread buttered no nensoni. If I were to run for President and win, first thing I would scrap the so called ministry of religion and then zapp all these mushrooming myopic pastors who have no God in them but are masquerading as such.
Churches clearly being very hypocritical. Accepting “empowerment” is bad enough, now it’s going under the guise of Covid-19. What nonsense. Not one single vaccine shot is purchased with this corrupt money! All participating churches should bow their heads in shame, and pray for forgiveness!
Ba L.T where do you train your journalists” Ati “Molarity”. Kuti wa Seka mwe!
Outgoing Veep urges supporters to chew well. Molarity iliko bad guys! Eat before you leave…
I have Googled “molarity” because I didn’t know the term – and now I’m even more in the dark! I want to know what happens on August 13: all those hypocritical church leaders suddenly have to pledge allegiance to a new president, what explanation are they going to give?
Why is chellah tukutu (meno meno) so close to mutinta hichilema. What is going on there?
Chella the useless photographer needs spiritual guidance. Last time he was sleeping with a demon possessed woman now he is close to mutinta hichilema
LT is just good at moderating sentiments which are not in favour of PF even though the sentiments are decent and polite. but they cant moderate themselves, just look at their title of ‘molarity’ don’t they have people to cross check. Embarrassing to say the least
When is the ECZ allowing HH to go round the chiefs to go and introduce his running mate the way Wina is doing. Very evil people. They are busy campaigning and stopping others
HH has got to go and introduce running mate the way Wina is doing please
HH must go round the country and meet chiefs with health guidelines practiced the way others are doing. Why stop him
Since you are good at moderating others, please moderate your embarrassing title above
HH must have a platform like others by going round the country to introduce his running mate and meeting the clergy the way PF are doing as long as they practice Ministry of Health guidelines, Police must not be used to stifle his constitutional enshrined rights.
In the interest of molality can HH be allowed to go and introduce his running mate through out the country, there is no offence here please as long as health guidelines are practiced and nobody is put at risky, that is if we are still a democracy, if we are not a democracy, lets continue at this path of stopping others while others are campaigning
No Madam Vice President, do not tell the Church what to do, because the Church does not tell you what to do. Keep out of Church business mwebantu. Depending on which church you subscribe to, the Church’s mission was defined very clearly in the writings of the apostles and the Evangelists. Read the Bible Madam. The apostle Paul wrote, ‘We preach Christ crucified’ (1 Corinthians 1:23). The Lord Jesus commanded, ‘Preach the Gospel to every creature’ (Mark 16:15). To this the apostles agreed and said ‘the Lord has called us to preach the Gospel’ (Acts 16:10). The gospel is good news that opens the way into the Kingdom of God by showing men and women that ‘God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son so that whoever believes in Him should not perish but live forever’…
(John 3:16). Madam VP, do you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Saviour and your Master?
Sleeping with dem0n possessed women or not ?? SO WHAT K-Z ??? FIRST its none of you business
And second with your SEWERAGE MOUTH nothing but flies will be attracted to you..
SO ZIP IT !!!!!!!!
The Covid-19 relief funds helped many Zambians that suffered at the time of the pandemic.
Church, traditional leaders always work with the government to help needy people. Happy to see that how they work so perfectly, coordinating with each other.
Mr. Lewilla said it right, doctors are having certain responsibilities, and they should talk with the government and discuss the matter instead of going on strike.
We need more such organizations like clergy to support our government in order to uplift the people.
This is indeed a great initiative by the government, glad that there are people who are working selflessly to uplift the affected groups.
Some sections of society or we can see HH’s supporters will always oppose the good deeds by the government, there is nothing new about it.
The fund was initiated for Zambia, we don’t see any point in opposing it. But still, some dull people will oppose it because it is initiated by the PF government and not UPND.
President Edgar Lungu is one of the greatest leader of all time! No one could ever work like him!!
Ban UPND and its cadres, automatically Zambia’s peace will be maintained during and after elections!
No crisis can affect Zambians until President Lungu’s government is there!
THE TR00LLS ARE BACK
