HICHILEMA’S GOVT AND THE GAY RIGHTS AGENDA
While we wait for Mr Hakainde Hichilema to respond to our challenge for a public debate on national television regarding the UPND administration and State House’s involvement with gays and defenders, protectors and promoters of gay rights, we would like to ask the following questions:
(1) What role is the National HIV/AIDS/STI/TB Council (NAC) playing in promoting the LGBTQ agenda?
(2) Didn’t NAC launch an LGBTQ programme and workshops for peer educators held with some facilitators being gay persons?
(3) Didn’t the NAC in collaboration with selected government hospitals and clinics, dealing with those in charge of clinics and hired
counselors conduct workshops, which were aimed at sending crews to identify members of the LGBTQ community?
(4) Were they not using the term Key Population in place of LGBTQ in the programme?
(5) Is it not true that this administration has established a position of Technical Director in charge of Key and Vulnerable Populations and the position is funded by USAID/PEPFAR Fund?
(6) Is this the reason why for the first time in this country and under Mr Hichilema’s presidency, in May 2022, EU embassies hoisted gay pride flags in support and commitment to gay rights on Zambian soil?
(7) Could this also be reason why the French government sent a Mr Jean Mafart, an openly gay man whose male husband is a convicted drug trafficker, as French Ambassador accredited to Zambia?
( What is Mr Tony Blair, the former British Prime Minister and renowned gay rights Ambassador frequenting Zambia for?
For those of our people who may not know, Key Populations include populations that live in poverty and squalor without access to necessities such as safe housing, water, sanitation and nutrition.
As indicated above the term also include persons such as sex workers, gay men and other men who have sex with men, transgender people, people who inject drugs, and people in prisons and other enclosed settings.
In the meantime, we wait for Mr Hichilema and his newly installed mouthpiece, vuvuzela Mr Cornelius Mweetwa to answer the questions raised above.
We desire to take this discourse to its highest and final level and rest it there to curb the senseless path of malice and hate.
So a favourable response to
Mr Cornelius Mweetwa our challenge to a public debate on national television was with Mr Hichilema and yourself combined together! This will be a great opportunity for all of us to deal with these issues openly, truthfully and without innuendo.
Fred M’membe
President of the Socialist Party
Prostitution is illegal in Zambia. But known prostitutes do seek medical attention at government hospitals if they contract sexually-transmitted disease. Does treating prostitutes amount to promoting prostitution?
The President is too busy for such petty things. That will be nothing but abusing our President who is working so hard for the betterment of this country. What benefit will Zambians get out of it knowing how anti HH and UPND M’membe is. LGTBQI is not a new story, Kaunda found it and left it, HH found it and he will leave it. I remember late Chiluba commenting on gayism saying, even a dog knows who a female is. Late Mugabe said those who practice it are no better than pigs. So there nothing to debate about, gays and lesbians have been there from time immemorial, those who read the Bible can read Romans chapter 1. Moreover this is a moral issue which needs spiritual efforts and not flesh, we can do better to pray for them in our churches and on the day of national prayer which is next week.
Now, if you show ignorance over your traditional (ichisungo/amafunde (on marriage) ukusuka ignada); when the husband has gone away for a long time.
Ba tila ati; ubuchende bwamwaume tamutoma house.
Mmembe must debate with Kabimba who brought him in his liking of Homosexual link.
He has never responded back to what Winter Kabimba said and how come he can connect him to debate with HH?
He knows HH will not succumb to his request. Hon Mweetwa should not bother to respond to this man’s rantings.
Unfortunately, Gaymater and promoter, Fred Mmembe has been rattled by the issues of LGTBQI instead of bread and butter issues like the cost of mealie meal, fuel, etc!
Why shouldn’t our Govt be spending time debating non issues about Lesbians and Homosexuals which of which Fred Mmembe is clearly the Master and Promoter!
Let Mmembe alone go and talk about homosexuality on TV without dragging busy Govt officials. Better still, he can take along him, his favourite side chick, homosexual Dr. Shuwa Shuwa and others like Fr Bwalya and Wynter Kabimba! That will be a great debate between people that are or were dearest to Mmembe because they know him very well and also understand his sexual desires most.
Afuledi you’ve enough side chicks to go live or public with. Kabimba, chimbwili, sishuwa2 pick any stop wasting HH7’s time ok?
