RESPECT PRESIDENT LUNGU- CHURCH
By KETRA KALUNGADO not throw the respect you have for President Edgar Lungu to the gallery, he deserves the same respect that was accorded to him before, a cleric has said.Bishops Council of Zambia (BCZ) general secretary, Abel Kaela said President Lungu deserves the same respect as before, especially that he was honourable enough to avert bloodshed by choosing to hand over power peacefully.Bishop Kaela said in an interview that Zambians should not speak ill of President Lungu but praise him for handing over power peacefully thereby proving to the world that Zambia was a democratic nation.He said President Lungu did his best as Head of State to improve the living standards of the people and ensured that the country was kept intact through many economic challenges, among them the global Covid-19 pandemic.“President Lungu has done a lot of things that deserve commendation so there is no need of making him look like he is a bad President, that is not the way we should go, he has kept us, he has kept the faith,” he said.Bishop Kaela urged Zambians to continue honouring President Lungu as one with experience in managing the affairs of the country by praying for him throughout the transition period and beyond.He also urged Zambians to put the August 12 elections behind and embrace one another despite their political affiliations
