In an interview with News Diggers! today, Miti said the attacks on Roan PF member of parliament Chishimba Kambwili during Michael Sata’s memorial was one such issue they could talk about. “If they are going to be relevant, if the gospel section of the church especially that is so close to the President would like to be relevant, would like to be useful to the country, they need to raise a voice when incidents happen that are a danger to this country. In this case, over the weekend we had an incidence of the violence that happened at the late President Sata’s memorial. The clergy that are close to President Lungu, the violence at Sata’s memorial is the kind of issue that you need to speak out if you are to win back some kind of relevance and respect in the country,” Miti said. “It is in situations like that, that we expect the church to speak.

And Mukumba said she expected the general economic outlook to be difficult for Zambia under the current performance of the Kwacha. “I think there is a number of very difficult things that are going to happen to the economy given the current state of the Kwacha. One of the things that are going to happen is that the economy is going to face a lot of difficulties, there will be less importation of goods and high exports which is going to benefit the foreign market highly and this will affect the local market and in the process trickle down to the consumers who will suffer the worst by purchasing goods at Zambia Army officers during the Trooping and Consencration of Colours parade at Lusaka’s Arakan Barracks on October 27, 2017 extremely high prices being - Picture by Tenson Mkhala the end users,” said Mukumba.
