He said leaders are appointed by God through people voting in a democratic nation such as Zambia.
And Reverend Brent Sampa said Peace is a very important tool for the development of the people in any given country.

I don’t know why you can pray for peace without first of all eliminate injustice. Some church organizations in Zambia don’t know why God put them there. The only church organization in Zambia that preaches against injustice is the Roman Catholic church. It is the voice of the voiceless the rest are just interested in brown envelopes.
