LET’S CHECK OUR POLITICS

Dear Editor,

THE kind of politics being practiced in Zambia at the moment leave much to be desired. Politics is supposed to be in simple terms about distributing wealth and the resources of the country equitably among the citizens.

We can’t be all be directly involved in this process and that’s why we have politicians and other technocrats to do this on behalf of the populace. But right now all citizens are seeing is rebellion and politics of insults and politicising of every issue – progressive or not.

It does not matter who is in State House or who is in authority at a particular time. Even the Holy Bible is very clear on this in: Roman 13: 1, Roman 13: 1-5, Hebrews 13: 17, Romans 13:2 and 1 Peter 2:13-15. Those in authority rule over us and there is no rule except that from God. But what is happening in Zambia is not in accordance with these biblical principles right now.

There is so much rebellion and that’s why instead of progressing as the country, we seem to be stalling. God hates rebellion and confusion, let be there be harmony in the nation.

Being in the opposition does not mean being rebellious, far from it. That’s not even democracy!

Those in power may makes mistakes, but where they succeed, there is no need for rebellion, and profane language against them. Those in the opposition should take heed.

Why rebel over every decision, every development because everyone wants to be in State House. Looking at what is happening in the political arena now, we are slowly are simply drifting into a rebellious nation and let’s be careful about this. The Church must quickly come in and help on this issue. God is above all else including the economy.

Rebelling and insulting those in authority is a sin and not democracy as some people think. Let them read the Bible and understand further, if not let the clergy help on this, they know better.

The children of Israel rebelled against God and we know the consequences in the desert. Politicians take heed. Peace loving citizen LUSAKA
