Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Once Eleanor Roosevelt said that, \u201cDo what you feel in your heart to be right-for you\u2019ll be criticized\u201d. end of quote. Indeed, President Hakainde Hichilema did what he felt to be within the laws of the land, as enshrined in the Constitution of Zambia, that stipulates that, \u201cZambia is a Unitary State\u201d.<\/p>\n

And there\u2019s no country called \u2018Barotseland\u2019. It\u2019s not the President who said that statement. This is contained in our law books! \u201cIf it is law, it will be found in our books.\u201d The President\u2019s role is to defend the Supreme Laws of the land, that he swore in to uphold on that date of the 24th August 2021 at Heroes Stadium.<\/p>\n

Therefore, I want to admonish some disgruntled people to cease criticizing the President, for doing a right thing in his heart, mind, or speech! (As the verse in the Bible says that, \u201cYou shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.\u201d -John 8:32). Hence the President is a free man, from all sorts of criticisms either in writing or verbally.<\/p>\n
