OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT EDGAR CHAGWA LUNGU
08/06/2021
REF: THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF THE UPND LEADER MR. HAKAINDE HICHILEMA BY YOU AND STATE HOUSE
Greetings to you Mr president sir. It is my hope that immediately you receive this letter you will come to reality and choose the right path for you in the few remaining days for you to be in state house. Mr. President, this is not time for arrogance please! make peace with your opponents.Because for us Zambians we have already decided.
Your Excellency, it is with sadness to learn that you could sink too low to engineer and authorize the attempted assassination of your opponent in the name of HAKAINDE HICHILEMA. We are aware that you gave those directives through your surrogates such as Kaizer Zulu, Kampyongo, Kanganja and many others. Mr. President you are trying your lucky in a very dangerous and disastrous way. No matter how desperate you are in wanting to stay in power, killing HH is the most easiest thing if you want to exit this nation and seek asylum and further forget about all the wealth you have amassed within a short period of time.
Your act was, is and will forever be criminal and lack of patriotism to this nation. You have done so much damage to this nation. Look at how you have made the job of our security wings difficult. We know that thugs you have infiltrated in our Police system is the reason for such dangerous acts under your instruction.
I wish our officers can learn from that constable who was ordered to assassinate Prosecutor Nsama Nsama and upnd member Joseph Kaunda. The young man has since been abandoned after executing a political scare tactics, those that ordered him are nowhere near. The other officer is battling for his life after his jaw was broken by PF cadres.
My humble reminder to you Mr. Lungu is that Zambia is bigger than any one of us including yourself.Therefore, threatening the peace of the entire country through attempting to kill your opponent who seem to be the only option for millions of Zambians explains it all that, you don’t deserve to be our president anymore sir.
The Bible in Proverbs 10:11; The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence. You are a violent president sir. Evidence is all over you either instructing your cadres to attack or kill innocent civilians who should have been protected by your office. Remember the letter I wrote to you last year demanding for justice in all state sponsored killings of innocent Citizens such as Mapenzi Chibulo, Obed Bwalya Kasongo, Mark Choongwa, Lawrence Banda, Frank Mugala, Kennedy Mudenda, Vespers Shimunzhila, Matapa Glayzia, Malesu Mukonka, Nsama Nsama, Kaunda Joseph and many others. You never disputed to the letter because you know that you are a guilty person. The blood of these citizens plus many others is on your head sir.
In Ezekiel 34:4, the Bible teaches us that ; The weak you have not strengthened, the sick you have not healed, the injured you have not bound up, the strayed you have not brought back, the lost you have not sought, and with force and harshness you have ruled them. In Ephesians 6:4, the Bible says; Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
Mr President in reference to the two last Bible verses you have ruled us in a harsh and brutal way. You have been a provoking father and we feel this is the right time to say goodbye and let the people of Zambia choose their destiny in peace. Stop instructing your cadres and police to kill your opponents.
May the almighty God bless Zambia.
Yours sincerely
