Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Open Letter to the President of the Republic of Zambia, His Excellency Mr Hakainde Hichilima By Hon. Rev. Mrs Godfridah Sumaili [Former Minister of National Guidance and Religious Affairs ]<\/p>\n

It is with a heavy heart and great disappointment that I write this letter to you publicly. Sir it is the people of Zambia who gave you a rare opportunity to rule over them.<\/p>\n

Respect and honor them. They are your boss and you are a servant. The people of Zambia decided that Zambia as a Christian nation should be founded on the values and principles of Christianity which are aligned and in concert with the national values and principles enshrined in the supreme law of the land, the constitution.<\/p>\n

Mr President you are the custodian of the Constitution of Zambia. You swore publicly to respect and protect the laws of the land. You committed to rule with the fear of God and rule of law.<\/p>\n

What have you done Mr President? You have betrayed the people of Zambia by embracing hypocrisy instead of truth. Homosexuality is illegal in Zambia. How can the activists of the pervasive , abominable and illegal homosexuality be covered and protected by State Police an Institution of good governance?<\/p>\n

Sir what has happened in our Christian nation is sinful and shameful. The people of Zambia are demanding answers from your Government. Mr President Zambia has a rich culture which needs to be respected and protected. Our children, grand children and future generation deserve a peaceful, prosperous and Christian nation.<\/p>\n
