WE’VE TRIED TO DIALOGUE WITH HH BUT HE DOESN’T ACKNOWLEDGE US – KATEKA
NEW Heritage Party President Chishala Kateka says the opposition have been trying to engage the Head of State for the last four years, but he does not acknowledge them.
Kateka adds that the opposition have given up on the President as he has nothing but disdain for them.
On Friday, President Hakainde Hichilema, during a courtesy call with the Finnish Parliament Committee, said he has been telling his political competitors to put aside differences and work together for the greater good of the country.
Reacting to that in an interview, Sunday, Kateka said President Hichilema was a great showman who says the right things in public but acts differently.
She added that a wise leader would have engaged the opposition to garner some collective wisdom from them for implementation, to the benefit of the nation.
“The President, as [is] his custom, is being disingenuous when he urges the opposition to work together with him for the good of the country. How does one work with someone you have never met, never had a conversation with, or never had [contact] from? The opposition have individually and collectively tried to engage the President over the last four years, but he does not even acknowledge our letters. We have given up on him, quite frankly, as he has nothing but disdain for us,” said Kateka.
“He is a great showman who says all the right things in public, but his actions belie his words. He does not mean what he is saying at all. A good and wise leader would have engaged the opposition to garner some collective wisdom from them and he could then have implemented those ideas himself. The nation would have gained”.

Job 22:28
Job 22 v 28 is a verse from the Bible that states, “You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you; and the light shall shine upon your ways”. The verse is often interpreted as a testament to the power of faith, prayer, and speaking with authority, as well as a promise that God will bless and guide those who align their will with Him.
Core message: The verse suggests that by decreeing a matter with faith, God will establish it and bring light (guidance and prosperity) to your path.
Interpretation:
Some interpretations focus on the power of spoken words, suggesting that by decreeing God’s word, a person is activating their authority and potential for success. Others see it as a promise of divine favor and guidance.
Key phrases:
“Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways” (KJV).
Job 22:28 – What you decide on will be done, and light will shine
Strictly speaking, this is only true of God, whose decrees are unfrustrable, whose counsel shall stand, and the thoughts of his heart be established to all genenerations.
Job 22:28
“You’ll take delight in God, the Mighty One, and look to him joyfully, boldly. You’ll pray to him and he’ll listen; he’ll help you do what you’ve promised to do.
WHILE IT IS STILL DAY LET US DO WHAT IS good for the people and this exactly what your Excellency President Hakainde Hichilema you are doing.
The enemy is also up trying by all means to mislead the people. They arr acti g like the disciples of moses who wanted by all means to mislead the blind man who received his sight. but GOD is God thwy failed. It shall be well
This story in the Bible is great and with full of life.
John:9✋
[4] As long as it is day, we must do the work of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work.
[5] While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
[6] Having said this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes.
[7] “Go,” he told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam” (this word means Sent). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.
[8] His neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging asked, “Isn’t this the same man who used to sit and beg?”
[9] Some claimed that he was. Others said, “No, he only looks like him.” But he himself insisted, “I am the man.”
[10] “How then were your eyes opened?” they demanded.
[11] He replied, “The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and then I could see.”
[12] “Where is this man?” they asked him. “I don’t know,” he said.
[13] The Pharisees Investigate the Healing They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind.
[14] Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened the man’s eyes was a Sabbath.
[15] Therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. “He put mud on my eyes,” the man replied, “and I washed, and now I see.”
[16] Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.” But others asked, “How can a sinner do such miraculous signs?” So they were divided.
[17] Finally they turned again to the blind man, “What have you to say about him? It was your eyes he opened.” The man replied, “He is a prophet.”
[18] The Jews still did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight until they sent for the man’s parents.
[19] “Is this your son?” they asked. “Is this the one you say was born blind? How is it that now he can see?”
[20] “We know he is our son,” the parents answered, “and we know he was born blind.
[21] But how he can see now, or who opened his eyes, we don’t know. Ask him. He is of age; he will speak for himself.”
[22] His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews, for already the Jews had decided that anyone who acknowledged that Jesus was the Christ would be put out of the synagogue.
[23] That was why his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”
[24] A second time they summoned the man who had been blind. “Give glory to God,” they said. “We know this man is a sinner.”
[25] He replied, “Whether he is a sinner or not, I don’t know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!”
[26] Then they asked him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”
[27] He answered, “I have told you already and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples, too?”
[28] Then they hurled insults at him and said, “You are this fellow’s disciple! We are disciples of Moses!
[29] We know that God spoke to Moses, but as for this fellow, we don’t even know where he comes from.”
[30] The man answered, “Now that is remarkable! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.
[31] We know that God does not listen to sinners. He listens to the godly man who does his will.
[32] Nobody has ever heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind.
[33] If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”
[34] To this they replied, “You were steeped in sin at birth; how dare you lecture us!” And they threw him out.
[35] Spiritual Blindness Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”
[36] “Who is he, sir?” the man asked. “Tell me so that I may believe in him.”
[37] Jesus said, “You have now seen him; in fact, he is the one speaking with you.”
[38] Then the man said, “Lord, I believe,” and he worshiped him.
[39] Jesus said, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind.”
[40] Some Pharisees who were with him heard him say this and asked, “What? Are we blind too?”
[41] Jesus said, “If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains.

✋
Thank you so much your Excellency President Hakainde Hichilema. President of the Republic of Zambia for listerning to the guidance of the HOLY SPIRIT. Our God. The Mighty one of Isreal. The Almighty God will always give you wisdom to lead His people. Let grace abound
What’s al this rubbish. Who has so much time to read?
Am sure HH is avoiding meeting noise makers.
The opposition have no sellable plans to better the lives of Zambians. They actually think painting HH black will clock them political mileage. They forget who put him there.
Dialogue does not mean you get your
desired outcome. It means you have been heard. And if what you propounded, made sense, it will be taken into account. If you are talking rubbish, don’t blame the other party for throwing out yowa useless idea. Go back and formulate a better idea.
Is very simple.
Why do you all want HH to listen to you when you, you don’t want to listen to him? What powers has HH to stop any Bill outside Parliament? The President can only pas or veto a Bill it undergoes three readings in parliament and is very simple because he just picks a pen signs or he doesn’t sign. HH and those supporting the Bill are saying, let Bill 7 be accepted or be rejected in Parliament and not at State House or on the streets.
I have heard of private members bill passing in parliament from focused developmental oriented individual. They go to parliament and debate on what is good for the electorates. They lobby for their constituencies and carry themselves as envoys of people who sent them to parliament. Yet these are opposition MPs who know why they are in parliament. We want more like them. A rural constituency being transformed. MPs with a vision. Consult them and learn more. Even members of the ruling party who don’t know their duties, consult. You have nothing to lose.
