Former National Guidance and Religious Affairs Minister , Hon. Rev. Mrs Godfridah Sumaili has bemoaned the demolition of Munyaule Market, which has rendered scores of marketeers without trading spaces .
Rev. Sumaili has described the act of demolition of the market as inhumane, shameful and downright insensitive and uncaring especially that it has been done at a time when Zambia is grappling with unprecedented levels of poverty , unemployment and is at a national disaster status.
” The ones who will suffer most are women and children. Right now, there is insufficient food in the nation not only because of drought but due to poor judgement of exporting food by this government, instead of securing it for the time in need,” She said
” The cost of living has skyrocketed, and the people are going through untold suffering. How then can the government do such an inhumane thing at this time,” She asked .
Rev. Sumaili took time to demand that President Hichilema do the right thing by the people who put him in power by protecting their welfare and securing their livelihoods and not putting them to shame , breaking their backs and casting them into hopelessness.
” Please reverse the situation now!” She emphasised
Was it a planned market? If Not, its an illegal and unplanned.
Madam Musumali, you profess that you are a follower of christ. Where in the bible did you find Jesus dealing in illegal things? Jesus came to uphold the law.
In as much as the tax collectors we meant to be condemned. Jesus said “Give Caesar what belongs to Caesar”
Stop trying to undermine the law. You and government thrived on circumventing the law. Cholrea and lawlessness was the norm. It needs to stop.
Forgive her. This lady is confused as to what is right and what is wrong. Her confusion stems from the fact that she had no job description as minister in a useless ministry and that confusion has continued to follow her.
