Golden Party of Zambia (GPZ) President Jackson Silavwe has urged President Hakainde Hichilema and the UPND leadership to immediately engage and dialogue with the leading voices from the Catholic Church, stating that the continued political grand standing is not good for the entire country.
Mr. Silavwe points out that it is worth noting that the current political grand standing is the exact replica of what existed from 2018 to 2021 between the leading voices from the catholic church and the PF government, where the party’s members and political parties affiliated to them took a militant state just as President Hichilema and UPND have done now.
He states that President Hichilema needs the church thus he should engage the leading church voices across the church spectrum.
Mr. Silavwe further advises that the President should further instruct all the structures in UPND below him to stop commenting and responding on the sentiments expressed by the clergy to avoid undesirable comments in public that may make dialogue impossible.
