The ruling United Party for National Development (UPND) in Luapula Province has appealed to the clergy in the country to help in promoting peace among Zambias.
Luapula UPND Information and Publicity Secretary in charge of Youths, Jackson Kalenga, says the clergymen and women should at all times preach unity and peace in the country.
The media reports that Dr Kalenga says the clergy should at no time be seen to be inciting the public to rise against the government but are expected to offer guidance and counsel on various issues.
Dr Kalenga noted that any clergyperson who is not condemning but promoting the violence that occurred in Chingola recently does not mean well for the country.
He pointed out that Zambia has enjoyed peace since independence hence the need for every Zambian, including clergymen and women, to protect and promote it.
Dr Kalenga’s comments come in the wake of a circulated online video of a Catholic Priest who is allegedly praising those who disrupted President Hakainde Hichilema’s meeting in Chingola recently.
