United Party for National Development (UPND) National Youth Spokesperson Gilbert Liswaniso says the national day of prayer, fasting and reconciliation falling on 18 October 2017 should be a day of deep reflection for the Patriotic Front led Government.
In a statement unveiled to Pan African Radio news, Mr. Liswaniso reiterated allegations by some political players that there is a lot of corruption in Zambia under the current leadership.
Mr. Liswaniso says there is a clique of people that feel entitled to be awarded Government contracts to supply goods and services simply because they support the ruling party.
And Mr. Liswaniso stressed the need to dedicate the national day of prayers and reconciliation to individuals that are involved in the alleged corruption and looting of public resources.
Meanwhile, Patriotic Front (PF) Southern Province information and publicity Secretary Trymore Mwenda has called on Zambians to turn out in numbers for the coming National Day of Prayer, fasting and reconciliation.
Mwenda said the National Prayer Day, fasting and reconciliation has contributed to the growing commitment of upholding Christian values and preserving peace by citizens in the country.
And Mwenda has urged Zambians to ensure that they commit themselves on that day and attend prayer meetings in their respective areas for the continuity of peace and harmony in Zambia which is key to national development.
It is pathetic and blasphemic to call for a national day of prayers with all the going on in our country. We have a president that is never in the country to address all these problems and when he is he spends his days flying around the country for irrelevent things. He addresses the nation on an airport terminal. His ministers are stealing left right and centre and he has betrayed the people that put him in office. People in the PF and his friends have gotten rich and the poor have gotten poor. Opposition are being oppressed. What prayers exactly?
Better pray in your home like Daniel, and not join these pretenders.
Sorry people, but your act of praying is nothing short of being delusional.
They will just be busy looking for halos in the sky.
Praying with hypocrites! Hypocrisy is the only vice that cannot be forgiven because of the fact that everything that a hypocrite does is hypocrisy itself.
“The hands that help are better far than the lips that pray.”
– Robert G. Ingersoll.
Employ any strategy, the simple truth is that prayers was never and will never solve peoblems.
Whether you agree or not!
Prayer doesn’t really do anything for anybody. Prayer is asking ‘God’ to help people. If people need help, a good God will help them and not wait until somebody asks him.
PRAYER IS FEELING GOOD ABOUT DOING NOTHING
James 2:14 _26 NKJV Faith without works is dead…….I find the idea of expecting large numbers hypocritical. Majority of Zambians are poor and do not benefit from the millions stolen by the minority in government, so what will they benefit from this national prayers and fasting ? They are already fasting out of hanger, please do the works by donating food and not dragging them out to this fantasy .
The good news is God cant be mocked.
Amen! graduate. Say that again.
Take heed that no man deceives you. for main will come in my NAME LORD,LORD.
at least at home i will be able to eat and drink after my usual morning prayer
