Africa-Press – Zambia. President Hakainde Hichilema has reiterated his determination to appoint capable and honest men, women and the youths for positions of leadership in society.
President Hichilema based his statement on Exodus 18:21 that calls for the selection of capable honest men who fear God and hate bribes. This is a post he posted on his official Facebook page.
“But select from all the people some capable, honest men who fear God and hate bribes. Appoint them as leaders over groups of one thousand, one hundred, fifty, and ten. Exodus 18:21,” President Hichilema quoted the Bible.
While referring to the Bible, Mr. Hichilema said the scriptures will not be contravened if capable, honest women and youth are added among those that qualify for leadership roles in society.
“We believe this scripture will not be contravened if we include capable honest women and the youth, among those that qualify for leadership roles in our non-discriminatory society,” he stated.
