President Hichilema believes in decorum. He is the consummate corporate guy.
Proper!
Cooked in board rooms full of – Chairperson with your leave I….
That side of him does not come across as put on. He naturally favours the formal, maybe even the conservative.
With that said, that soccer stadium, or Pente service, kind of screaming for Bill 7 we saw in State House yesterday, was eyebrow raising.
It was not what one would expect, from this President, about the matter that was under discussion.
I mean,he was flowing with gutter, dumb statements like – those who have no children should not talk about Bill 7.
Hmm!
This, by the way, is not about Bill 7 per se. It is not even about the fact that those that love the Bill had their turn at State House.
It is that watching the President host a rowdy gathering on such a sober matter like constitutional reform, produced a major sense of dissonance. Things clanging.
Simply, when the President decides that in order to amend the Republican Constitution, he is willing to be the lion that tries to convince everyone that he is enjoying a vegeterain dish, one has to wonder why?
What is the personal crisis that Bill 7 will address that the President can allow one part of the church to attack another, without a simple – no you cannot do that?
To get back to that statement, about those with no children speaking about the constitution – ba Pente che. Sometimes you feel like weeping at their zero character.
So that man, went home to the wife and children he spoke about and said – I was at State House today. I addressed the President.
Iye, chifundo for that wife and children. What kind of insults does he throw to them in private, if he can be so unrefined in public?
Heneway!
You watched the “playing to the gallery” that was the prayer rally and the Pentes performing there and did not comment!!!! Who took the matters to the gutter first? When others respond, in a like manner, all of a sudden you develop a distaste? Hypocrisy!!!
Hakainde and his league.
What an embarrassment. This is how low our country has sunk..At Statehouse in the presence of the President, a Church condemning another Church… stalking divisions in the country…
And those without Children not out of Choice, the childless couples out there subject of ridicule at statehouse.
And Condemning the Catholic Priests who have wished not to marry, supported by Biblical Scripture , but now being insulted because of the illegitimate and unconstitutional Bill 7 , and the President is there cheering.
What a hopeless country we have become..
There are moderate Catholics, Zambians out there , but the charade the nation is being Subjected to just because of the illegitimate and unconstitutional Bill 7 is just too much.
Hakainde’s Zambia. What a Joke.
Probably that bishop talked like that because of the careless intentions of peaceful matching to state house without guaranteed safety of people and property.It was difficult to believe the peaceful match.In the amendment bill the youths are given some hope for opportunity to hold elective offices of influence.The talk of those without children came as a slip of the tongue or Freudian slip.Sorry is the word for such to heal.
