Why Catholic bishops and not SDA

Editor,

Hakainde Hichilema, the leader of UPND is understood to be an elder in Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) church but how come it is the Catholics fighting for his release when his church is silent? I doubt if this will yield any fruit of good reconciliation if his church is not taken on board en route to Mukobeko Maximum Prisons, I know the Adventists are conservatives.

Kambwili and his pretension to greatness

Editor,

How can Chishimba Kambwili engage his own party in verbal exchanges as if he is not a senior member of the party? The Central Committee must either expel him or give him the last warning because he cannot be the only member of the party that is talking carelessly and aimlessly as if he is representing the opposition.

Tribalists of any hue have no place in Zambia

Editor,

There is a very serious feeling that Chishimba Kambwili is exploiting his status to champion a very narrow cause. He must be told in no uncertain terms that Zambia is a bigger than any one community and any effort to champion a tribal cause is doomed to failure. PF is in power today and won votes in many parts of the country because many tribes feel very comfortable in it. The other party lost because it attracted people from three provinces only. Let this be a warning.

LAZ lacks professional

morality

Editor,

President Edgar Lungu’s call for LAZ to turn itself into a political party must be echoed by all peace loving Zambians. It is a mockery to ask whether security was threatened or not. Let LAZ come out openly than politicizing the law.  Do not hide behind a political party by approving, supporting and defending the wrong acts against innocent peace loving Zambians. Criminals will never stop the wrong acts if we are divided in condemning criminality and illegality. Now it is clear that what matters most to LAZ is money and not morals. Defend Zambia by upholding the Constitution for peace to continue in Zambia.

Lukulu lacks development

Editor,

Ever since Zambia was born, the state of the road from Katunda to Lukulu is very bad and even the infrastructure in Lukulu is a mess. Take development in all corners of Zambia.

M’tendere councillor a let down

Editor,

We wish to kindly advise our M’tendere councillor to up his socks and take his wok seriously. To start with we have told him that there is need for humps on the main Mtendere road but no action has been take. Mtendere police do not have holding cells for offenders, still has happened to improve the situation.

E-Voucher activation still a nightmare

Editor,

Do we need to be noise makers to be heard? E-voucher card activation is still a problem to Munga block famers in Kabwe; who will help us collect our needs because our MP, PS, DC are busy with other important things than this one. What can we do mwe bantu?

LAZ puppet of the cartel

Editor,

There is no doubt that the all-powerful cartel is in full control of our LAZ no matter how many denials may be given by its leader Linda Kasonde, for it is worth noting because she has family ties with the powerful cartel. It is a question of blood being thicker than water.
