 Welkom to the press briefing at the province of Lusaka province secretariat. Kamba keneja my name is the provincial secretary for Lusaka province. We are disattained as the party that at Bishop Tresford in Kundo has took so low to an extent of allowing selfish politicians in the UPND to turn him into a guarder and use him to issue unsubstantiated alarming statements. It is unacceptable that Vampundo, who we expect to demonstrate impartiality and love for all political players, can today issue a statement in one of the tabloids claiming that Zambia is a dictatorship. We want to once again remind that bishop in Kundo to term his term because at the rate at which his talking politics is very alarming and very divisive and the source of serious concern. The right thinking Zambian people are able to tell that the former Archbishop of Lusaka Dowsis is highly frustrated. Beta and the opposition has taken advantage of him by using him as a guarder to issue disparaging remarks against Pres. Edgar Chagwarungu and the PF government. Archbishop Pumbundo does not mean well anymore. We know he is a member of the kateo formed by the opposition and some frustrated members of the clergy and civil society organizations that have launched a campaign to discredit Pres. Lungu. These comments being made by the retired Archbishop with all due respect are very irrational. If Zambia is a dictatorship today as Archbishop Pumbundo claims, how come he is enjoying all the fundamentals of freedoms of speech and movements without anybody infringing on his rights? Does Archbishop Pumbundo know what dictatorship really means? Zambia is a beacon of peace and a true democracy. If we were a dictatorship government Archbishop Pumbundo would not afford to go on radio and issue all those disparaging remarks against the aid of states and the government without the police visiting him. He has been tolerated for a long time because he is enjoying freedom of expression in a dictatorship such as this one. The way he is coming out as a guarder disparaging remarks which has continued to hurt against Pres. Lungu. The cadres at one day would have visited Archbishop Pumbundo but this in a democracy is not happening including in Zambia. So we want to own Archbishop Pumbundo to watch what he says. Zambia is a democracy but it is governed by laws. He should stop abusing his rights and freedoms to insult Pres. Lungu and the PF Party. What is more disappointing is that the retired bishop even in his statements people can tell that he is aligned to the opposition UPNT political party. But he has failed to join the opposition political party the UPNT. So as the party which arranged him to join the opposition UPNT so that as the party we taking on as the UPNT cadres. Pres. Lungu is working around the clock to ensure that Zambia becomes a better place in all facets of human endeavor. Talk about infrastructure development, upgraded health facilities, effective education system, better conditions for men and women in uniform, effective management of national resources and the rest is endless. Even this critical times of the effects of the global pandemic, the coronavirus, Pres. Lungu and this team are working hard to ensure we keep our national affairs and the economy intact. We refuse to be dragged in politics of hate by Archbishop Pumbundo. Archbishop Pumbundo cannot stand on a podium and claim we are dictatorship. This is very annoying and we demand that the respected Catholic Church intervenes and reprimands the retired Archbishop Pumbundo. Over the continued alarming statements which has continued to utter, the way they did it to that priest father world. We are appealing to the Catholic leadership to come in and reprimand Archbishop Pumbundo. We have cautioned and advised the Archbishop to stay away from the dirty politics being practiced by the UPNT and their allies but it doesn't want to listen to constructive advice. Zambia is not a dictatorship. We are proud of our democracy as means of governing ourselves. This is the main reason why we are going to pause Camp August this year as the constitutional requirement and President Lungu will make victorious because of his quality leadership. Thank you.
