Lufwanyama’s UCZ Nkana congregation Minister in charge, Frida Kamana said the country has of late been treated to speeches of bitterness and disrespect from among political leaders.
Rev Kamana said this on the sidelines of the church fundraising venture held at UCZ Nkana congregation in Lufwanyama district on the Copperbelt Province.
She further urged political leaders to work together and respect the leadership of the country if the nation is to continue being a beacon of peace.

Mr. Mwalikwa said the United Church of Zambia is among the churches that have been consistent in strengthening peace in the country.
