Patriotic Front (PF) Shibuyunji District Chairperson Joseph Kasonde said the creation of the Ministry of National Guidance and Religious Affairs by President Edgar Lungu will fortify the declaration of Zambia as a Christian Nation, reports Pan African Radio Journalist Hermit Hachilonde.
In a statement unveiled to the media today the 18th September, 2016, Mr. Kasonde explained that the newly created religious Ministry will help to regulate the church mother bodies in Zambia.
Mr. Kasonde revealed that a number of mushrooming churches in Zambia have taken advantage of the vulnerable people in the communities.
He added that the freedom of worship and rights to assemble have been abuse in Zambia due to the absence of a national admistration in religious matters.
The PF Shibuyunji chairperson further stated that Zambia is now marred with many people masquerading as the clergy, affirming that there are just a money venture and other vices.
Mr. Kasonde has since complained that most of the clergy from the mushrooming churches have caused social problems among the congregants and they are never reprimanded by any superior body of church in the country.
“We welcome the creation of a religious ministry by his excellence president Edgar chagwa Lungu because it will consolidate the declaration of Zambia a christian nation” he said
“Mr. Kasonde explained that the newly created religious Ministry will help to regulate the church mother bodies in Zambia.” In other words , if you don’t support the illegal president Changwa, you will be banned as a church.
What a vision-less leader.
This now means what ever takings the church makes must be paid to Lungu when he demands it.
All leaders will be forced to exhalt lungu high as an equal to jesus christ like we saw during the elections when PF campaign vehicles had banners reading “All christians for Lungu” .
Lungu will not live long for demanding that people worship him instead of Jesus.

A minister is, literally, a “servant,”
IDIOCY is when you refuse to take your very sick child to the hospital because your pastor said you should not do so, yet that same pastor secretly runs to USA for medical attention each time he has a headache.
Is this Sumaili that loose woman who dumped her husband, Dr Sumaili, once she became a big boss at Standard Chartered Bank? If she is, then Chakolwa is just expanding his harem at State House.
Lungu is a fool. Christian state my foot. Religious ministry for all the charlatans to get some money. God cannot even recognize some of those calling themselves men of God just like Lady Justice cannot recognize the political prostitutes calling themselves judges.
It must help to regulate the mushrooming of churches which are now seen as a source of income from tuma fake pastors..good move,though not economically viable
IGNORANCE is when you believe it when your pastor tells you not to live a worldly life, yet he enjoys all the best things in the world; the fine houses, cars, jets, screwing around etc, while you are waiting till you get to heaven to enjoy your own….
totaly wrong this ministry of religious affairs because religion has been misused by politicians; the churches should be free with no interference by the government;
Pathetic waste of money. Instead of establishing structures to start taxing all these business churches mushrooming here you are instead wasting tax payers money . Pf are indeed clueless and lack vision
Rubbish!!!! All these resources would have been channeled to something more productive like Agriculture and Energy development. Ubu pumbu, beyond reasonable doubt. Give the people their opium for comfort while we rob them to death! Unf**king believable!
I wish the same white Jesus would rock up and whip these hypocrites for their lies. But then again, Jesus is a lie fed to desperate people to whip them into sub mission. My people, the hereafter is a hustle, you need your heaven now, not in death. Stop swallowing this poison, it will choke you to death. Religious Affairs???? Unga seka fulu niva bwino! ???
Waste of money. Not needed. Current church Mother bodies in Zambia are sufficient. New churches should affiliate to any of them. Scrap then the role of registrar of societies. Can this woman regulate CCZ, ECZ (not corrupt election ECZ) and the Catholics? Laughable.
I THINK THIS MINISTRY IS CREATED TO ALLOW OTHER RELIGIONS LIKE ANIMISM, ISLAM, CHRISTIAN SCIENCE, SHINTOISM ETC TO FLOCK INTO ZAMBIA AND THAT IS WHY THE THE REFERENDUM WAS BROUGHT IN SO THAT IT WILL ALLOW ALL OTHER AND VILE RELIGIONS TO COME IN. ZAMBIANS MUST BE CAREFUL. YOU CAN NOT GO TO AN ISLAMIC NATION AND PREACH CHRIST WITHOUT BEING KILLED, WHY BECAUSE THEY ARE THERE TO DEFEND THEIR RELIGION.
IS ZAMBIA A CHRISTIAN NATION AS AT NOW? DR. FTJ IF HE CAME BACK FROM THE GRAVE HE WOULD CRY AND SAY THIS IS NOT WHAT WE MEANT.
Is Lungu a true Christian? What qualities do we see in him that will convince Zambians and other people worldwide that he is a true Christian who can even make up a ministry of Religion? When one sees him will say he is humble but if you are in the spirit of God you will see the true reflection of Christianity in his heart is Zero.
STUPIDITY is when you don’t have a bicycle and you give your last penny to your pastor to buy a jet.
Of how does such make it to press…the individual is a cadre…even if Lazy Lungu turned a township in a district they would say its good idea.
PF theives!!!
Spending money as if we are loaded.
Hiring private jet.
Creating new ministry and provinces just to give friends jobs.
Increased fuel and ZESCO tarrifs just to steal more from poor Zambians.
Also selling ZESCO and ZAMTEL so they PF steal from there.
God help us from this rotten PF theives.
While other leaders are busy with sideline bilateral meetings on how to better their countries, Lungu chartered a high cost jet just in order to go and dance dununa reverse in America using tax payers money!!

Explain more how you intend to regulate the Church Mother bodies in Zambia
These pathetic fools (PF) are just a problem.
‘white collar criminals’ stealing from the poor in the name of a non existing god!
This function of regulating churches does not need a whole Ministry.
What waste of scarce public resources! Can IMF come quickly please and put a limit on fiscal expenditure. This PF will take us backwards.
Dununa Reverse!
This should have been a department with in the ministry of home affairs. Tightening our belts.
This is pointing to the creation of a one- world government (New World Order). This is a system were there will be one world day of worship, one currency, one world leader. The bible is clear (Daniel7:1-8) Daniel was shown beasts arising from the sea, that is kings (Daniel7:17) and they ruled the kingdoms of: Babylon, Medo-persia, Greece and Rome. In the New testament the bible says the beast will cause all to recieve the Mark on the head or hand and people(true christians) shall be restricted from buying or selling save those with the mark (Revelations13:16-18). Then it warns against worshiping the beast (sun-worship) as Ezekiel puts it in Ezekiel 8:15,16. Those who will worship the beast shall be tormented with fire and brimstone, except those that obey Gods commandments including the…
