MUMBI Phiri says she has no grudge against President Hakainde Hichilema for having incarcerated her for 429 days on a murder charge she was maliciously and politically implicated.
And Ms Phiri says the reconciliation of President Hakainde Hichilema and his predecessor, President Edgar Lungu should be left to God, for only at His time, would the two leaders reunite without the involvement of mortals.

Ms. Phiri, the former Patriotic Front (PF) deputy secretary general said she had no grudge against Mr Hichilema and the journalist who implicated her in this case and she has been committing the UPND government in God’s hands.
Ms Phiri who was last week freed from Mongu Prison after 429 days of incarceration said it was her hope that the journalist who implicated her in the death of Mr Lawrence Banda, the UPND cadre was given a job because that was the purpose for doing it.
She said the video which implicated her went viral after Anthony Bwalya was given a job as presidential spokesperson because that journalist was eying that position and thought by implicating her he was given that position.
She said that journalist had a chance to circulate that video when the PF was in power but he did not and waited for an appropriate time when it could advantage him.
Ms. Phiri said it was good the journalist apologised to her at court and claimed that he had been used by people who wanted to create a wedge between them.
She also revealed that she met her co-accused Shebby Chilekwa in a dock at court in Kaoma when they were appearing for the first-time.
Ms. Phiri said things were so bad in prison that she could curse each time a UPND official appeared on TV
She said this when she featured on a programme dubbed the Assignment on Muvi TV
And Ms Phiri says people calling for the reconciliation of President Hichilema and former President Lungu were wasting their time, for according to her, God was going to speak to the two leaders at his own time.
Ms. Phiri narrates that she had been at loggerheads with her sister, Professor Nkandu Luo before she went to prison but God had finally reconciled them using her incarceration.
She said what Zambians needed to do was to be praying for the two leaders so that God could reconcile them at his own time.
