THE Evangelical Fellowship of Zambia (EFZ) has cautioned the public to desist from dragging President Edgar Lungu’s name in matters surrounding the liquidation of the Post Newspaper company.
EFZ executive director Pukuta Mwanza said it was unfortunate that the name of the President was being dragged in matters that where straight forward and clear.
Reverend Mwanza said the Bible and the law where clear on matters of taxation and any individual or company that abrogated them was meant to face the law.
“There are rules governing taxation in this country and those that make revenue are supposed to pay, give Ceaser what belongs to Ceaser,” he said.
Rev Mwanza said if people had issues with the President, they were better placed to convey those grievances using the right channel.
Meanwhile, Rev Mwanza has urged the United Party for National Development (UPND) to come to terms with the fact that President Edgar Lungu was duly elected and the only President of this country.
Rev Mwanza said if any mutual understandings and dialogue was going to take place between the UPND and the Patriotic Front (PF), it was important that the UPND recognised the fact.
He said the UPND should realise that the PF would not hold talks with them on grounds that were not clear and on grounds that did not recognise the leadership of the day.
Rev Mwanza said it was important that the UPND recognised the ruling party as the PF would not agree to hold talks just like that.
