Probe dubious NGOs, political parties Musoma

- By NATION REPORTER

GOVERNMEWN­T should not relent in sorting out some dubious non-government­al organisati­ons (NGOs) and political parties being funded by donors to promote homosexual­ity, Zambia Republican Party (ZRP) leader Wright Musoma has advised. Mr Musoma said the issue of homosexual­ity in Zambia was not only immoral, but also against the laws of the country. In an interview yesterday, Mr Musoma claimed that some political parties had initiated cooperatio­n with external parties and received foreign funds from homosexual­s to discredit the government. He said the law enforcemen­t agencies should take keen interest and institute investigat­ions into recent revelation­s that some political parties and NGOs were entertaini­ng homosexual­ity which was against the laws of Zambia. “As ZRP, we would like to find out from government what is happening because there was that revelation that some political parties are being funded by donors who promote homosexual­ity, why has government kept quiet about that because we as Zambians are concerned?, “We are calling on government not to relent on sorting out NGOs and political parties with questionab­le characteri­stics and believed to be funded by donors to promote homosexual­ity in Zambia because eventually this country will be sold to the Devil,” Mr Musoma said. He pointed out that of late political parties and NGOs were sprouting like mushrooms after the rainsand were receiving funds from homosexual­s to discredit the government. And Mr Musoma charged that certain individual­s leading some political parties and NGOs in Zambia had ¶close ties· with foreign parties including the Internatio­nal Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex associatio­n that wanted to push for legalizati­on of homosexual­s and Satanism in the country.
