By Lukundo Nankamba
Veteran politician Akashambatwa Mbikusita Lewanika has accused Zambian politicians of hypocrisy, alleging that they have turned the National Day of Prayer, Fasting, Repentance and Reconciliation into a tool for partisan gain.
In an interview with Phoenix News, Dr. Lewanika is concerned that this year’s National Day of Prayer, Fasting, Repentance and Reconciliation, was used as a campaign forum by politicians.
The veteran politician says that the use of Christianity for political purposes is an act of hypocrisy and is a trend that has not changed from previous administrations..
Dr. Lewanika has since urged Christians to be alert and focus their energies on establishing a true democratic, and developed nation, as the country heads to the polls next year.
