President Lungu donates K55,000 to Chilenje Reformed Church

PRESIDENT Edgar Lungu has donated K55,000 to Chilenje Reformed Church in Zambia through the Presidential Empowerment Initiative Fund (PEIF).

Speaking during the donation PEIF national coordinator Clement Tembo implored the congregants to pray for President Lungu and for the wellbeing of the nation.

Mr Tembo said President Lungu was governing the country because God bestowed him with the knowledge to preside over the affairs of Zambia.

Meanwhile, Mr Tembo said the PEIF would remain impartial when it came to empowering the vulnerable.

He said it was wrong for some people to allege that the PEIF was selective when choosing whom to empower.

And in passing a vote of thanks, Reformed Church in Zambia, Church Secretary Dickson Banda assured the PEIF team that the money would be put to good use.

Mr Banda said the funds would go a long way in helping to complete the ongoing construction of the church.

He said the PEIF team was free to visit and check on the progress being made on the structure.

He said K20,000 from the donation would go towards the construction of the church while the block making machine valued at K35,000 had been given to Chibvumbulutso church choir of the same church.
