President Hakainde Hichilema has launched an immediate investigation into the cancellation of a prayer gathering at the OYDC in Lusaka.
According to State House through its Chief Communications Specialist, the President did not direct the police to stop the event and regrets the incident.
He reaffirmed the government’s commitment to freedom of worship and peaceful coexistence, urging Christians to continue praying for the country’s peace, unity, and prosperity.
In a media statement accessed by KBC news, the President deeply regrets the incident.
Mr. HAMASAKA added that President HICHILEMA is a devout Christian who holds his faith with utmost sincerity and respect.
He said President HICHILEMA would never prevent Christians or any faith group from holding prayers, especially during this sacred period marking Zambia’s 61st Independence Anniversary or any other period.
Last night, worshippers led by Apostle SUNDAY SINYANGWE and his Nigerian counterpart, were scheduled to hold an overnight vigil at OYDC but the event was cancelled.
