WE ARE praying that Mr Hakainde Hichilema will receive a fair trial and that justice will be done in his cases, Patriotic Front (PF) deputy spokesperson Frank Bwalya has said.

And Mr. Bwalya has charged that the situation Mr Hichilema and some of his supporters had found themselves in could be the appropriate time ‘‘for God to touch him in a special way and make him a national asset in promoting peace, forgiveness and reconciliation in Zambia while still striving to be President one day’’.

Mr. Bwalya said the PF had sincerely welcomed calls to pray for the detained UPND leader.

In a statement Mr. Bwalya said the PF believed in the power of prayer and that God still works miracles of transforming people in the same way he made Saul become Paul the instrument of evangelization.

“We have noticed that calls to pray for the detained UPND leader Mr Hakainde Hichilema, including the one I made on a Lusaka-based radio station recently, are receiving mixed feelings with some people opposing such prayers on grounds that Mr Hichilema has been refusing to take part in national prayers.

He said doing so would go a long way to demonstrate the true Christian spirituality of praying for one another especially during trying moments.

“We are praying that Mr Hichilema will receive a fair trial and that justice will be done in his cases,” Mr. Bwalya said.
