Africa-Press<\/a> – Zambia<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>President Hakainde Hichilema has reiterated his determination to appoint capable and honest men, women and the youths for positions of leadership in society.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut 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,\u201d President Hichilema quoted the Bible.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe 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,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

President Hichilema has been a strong advocate of appointing people of good morals, values and integrity to positions of leadership. In the same Facebook post, President Hichilema wished the public a happy Sunday worship and God\u2019s blessings.<\/p>\n

\u201cGood morning fellow Zambians and have a happy Sunday worship. God bless you and may He bless the Republic of Zambia,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
