NO MR PRESIDENT, YOUR PERFORMANCE IS BELOW EXPECTATIONS:
Friday 18th July, 2025
Mr President, respectfully we wish to state that you’ve performed below expectations and its not for you to “Kwenyu” your performance but the Zambian people that elected you to occupy the office of President based on a social contract shaped by your campaign promises. Remember, you set your own yardstick and by the same standard you’ve either failed or lied to the Zambian people.
Here is the yardstick set by yourself and given to the Zambians to use in marking you;
1. You promised to reduce the cost of living. Mealie meal was promised at K50, today the price is way beyond the reach of the poor. The food basket by the JCTR BNNB stood at K11,763.38 in June of 2025 for a family of five from K9,301.46 in June of 2022.
2. You promised fertilizer at K250 per 50kg bag. Today the price is way beyond what was expected making it difficult for many citizens to grow maize their staple food.
3. You promised to end loadshedding within your first year in office, it’s now fours years nearly to the end of your first five year term. Loadshedding under your administration is grinding small businesses.
4. You promised to reduce the price of fuel. We all know that towards the end of 2021 the cost of fuel was in the range of K17 and by July 2025 the cost of fuel is in the range of K28 per litre.
5. You promised to work on the Kwacha, today the currency remains weak and double digit to the US Dollar. The recent appreciation of the Kwacha means less for ordinary citizens unless the benefits can trickle down to the poor.
6. You promised zero tolerance on corruption, today corruption cases under your watch are extremely concerning. The latest scandal is on medicines affecting a very key sector of life in Zambia.
7. You promised humans rights, today citizens are threatened with arrests for dissenting views. The Cyber law you promised to repeal has been reinforced against citizens.
8. You promised to unite the Country, today the Nation is more divided under your watch on tribal and political lines, than in recent times.
9. You claim to be a Church elder and yet today we hear that the NDoP is under threat of being de-gazetted (we hope it’s just a rumour). Demonic secret societies are freely coming out in the open under your watch.
10. Th separation of powers among the three arms of government is being compromised under your watch as the constitution and court judgements are being disrespected with impunity.
11. Your competitors in the opposition complains of shrinking democratic space under your watch as notifications for political rallies face challenges at the Police.
It appears from the self praise witnessed in recent times by the current administration that they are missing an opportunity to connect with public concerns – such as the high cost of living, youth unemployment, politicised CDF, harsh loadshedding while exporting electricity and deep-rooted corruption among other critical issues to a voter.
For anyone to suggest that the GDP, productivity and the ease of doing business are well performed under the current administration without any reference to current statistics or trends is cheap talk and weakens the depth of analysis and could leave the citizens asking:
What does the data currently say about the Country’s economic indicators in light of the campaign promises?
Further, Mr President you have failed to honourably manage the funeral and burial (both as Church Elder and Head of State) of your late brother the 6th Republican President Dr Edgar C. Lungu. Why did your administration opt for litigation and not resolution? You’ve taken a grieving widow and her children to court over the remains of her late husband and the Nation is worried.
Finally, the many unfulfilled campaign promises and commitments recorded in your own party manifesto outweighs the few promises delivered and may not guarantee you another five year mandate beyond 2026. You have failed Mr President and on a scale of 1 – 10, you’ve scored 3. Ends the Kwenyu on your performance.
Sincerely yours,
Rev Chilekwa Mulenga
Ndola, Copperbelt, Zambia.
Reverend the question you should be asking yourself before pointing a finger at the man. Why has he preformed below expectation.
If you fail to find an answer. From his speeches has he explained why?
The problem is some of you are so filled with hate cause the status quo, is not the same. Where you used to reap without working, the brown envelopes have stopped coming. Your relevance has faded. All this noise that you make is to stay relevant. You still want to eat where you dont work. And think what worked before should still work. That is nothing but gluttonousness that the bible speaks of. Repent.
Hakainde marks his own homework and gives himself 9/10.
When the citizens mark the same homework, they give him 1/10.
REJECT TRIBALISM, CORRUPTION AND OPPRESSION.
VOTE FOR CHANGE IN 2026.
How many have changed into Christianity yourself chilekwa????lazy reverend
As a Clergyman you may very well know this: “Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.”
Matthew 7:5 KJV
Allow HH to work. He is doing his best.
This is rigmarole ba Rev Mulenga.Rev.are aways held in high esteem with respect but your comments are not likened or expected from a man of your caliber.Go and pray for your sins before you offend more.You need forgiveness from our loving God.
Please Rev can you also share with us the tools of analysis you were using to arrive at your conclusions.
All his face is the definition of hatred and tribalism. He surely hs nothing to say. Just venting hatred. Ya! Some pipo
I find the vast majority of priest and pastors to be giant pains in the arse and a waste of time.
All the do is talk and publish crap. Like this guy.
I once use to go to church but DONT anymore because I found many of them to be preachers who espouse backwardness rather than modernity.
They love if those they are preaching to are ignorant, semi-literate and superstitious.
This is why in most Churches people are still tithing, because of such backward preasts who only think of their bellies. Tithing is stealing from the poor. I have never heard any of these so called preasts condemn it .Today’s churches are not inspiring because some preachers are in preast hood to make quick money. HH has exceedingly performed beyond expection .Only those with nothing to do can condemn him.
Since you are incapable of seeing good but hatred, let me remind you some.
He promised free education and he has delivered; he promised the rule of law and most of you are failing to account for your loot and serving; he promised to pay retirees and he is upto date; he promised to sort out the debt and he is doing so; he promised to peace in markets and bus stop, that too is “Kwenyu”; He promised no one will suffer from hunger from the worse drought in living memory, he delivered! He promised to grow the most economy and from -2 to positive 6! Just check what will happen to energy. Which bible do you read which makes you so blind? Had you not looted the economy, you would have seen where in just under 4 years the country would have been! He has actually scored 9/10 ba so called man of God!
Dear Reverend, I am writing to you as a fellow fellowship in Christ, and a co-heir in His grace. Rev, while I respect the fact that you, like any other Zambian may be felling the pains of a strained economy, or a country at a crossroad, you open attack at the president does not comport with the man of your standing, both in society or the Body of Christ. Man of God, not everyone in your congregation would feel the way you feel about the matters you have raised in your letter. You are a father to not only your congregation, but many who follow your teachings and regard you highly. Sir, you may be alienating the people that you ought to be uniting. I am not saying you have no right to feel the way you do, as a servant of God, the Matthew 18 golden rule would have been in order: first approach the person privately, if he does not listen take a witness, if he still does not listen, make it public.
I am sure there are others in your position who have privately written to President HH, and whether he has listened to their advice or history and divine justice will tell.
Sir, if you can call a president, a liar, in public, and seeing that you have put it out there for all to see, what will you tell a congregant to tomorrow stands up to insult the head of state in public. Sir, like the prophets of old, your words carry power. It would be okay if you went to state house to tell the president that you think he “lied” to the Zambian people, but not in public. As a minister of God, the president, like any seeker of truth, should have the confidence to seek your counsel, but you have already judged in the court of public opinion, and you, Sir, are the judge, jury and executioner, it ought not to be so, man of God.
Please rev, as a fellow believer in Christ, I am advising you, and with due respect, the tension in the country is at an all time high, please to not add to the fracture. Call the president and ask for an audience with him, if his handlers block you, put keep a record, so that in the future, you can say, I spoke but I was ignored.
I hope that you can prayerfully consider my humble advice Sir, and do what is right and honourable in the sight of God, and the wider Body of believers. May God continue to bless you in your work of ministry, personal life and family. Shalom
I meant to say, I am writing as a fellow believer in Christ……
This so called Rev Chilekwa is just a PF cadre and an Arse! He is full of the politics of entitlement and won’t accept that PF lost power. This is 4 years since they have been out of power. So, he thinks it should always be his tribe in power. The idyot can’t accept that HH is president. Look at his camelion look alike nose!
