US government condemned for pushing gay, lesbian agenda in Zambia

There is no room for gay rights in Zambia and the American government with its Western allies must stop interfering with country’s internal affairs.

This is according to the United Party for National Development (UPND)- Alliance Council of Presidents in a statement issued in Lusaka on Sunday.

Alliance Spokesperson Daniel Shimunza said President Hakainde Hichilema, has consistently denounced the gay- lesbian agenda, and the entire Council of Presidents in the Alliance, is in support of this position.

Shimunza said the Alliance is in support of the President’s stance against these neo-cultural imperialist practices, of imposing their wickedness on Africa and Zambia in particular.

He said gay rights are not rights in Zambia, but an abuse of the Constitution and the laws especially that Articles 8 and 9 of the Republican Constitution binds all National Values, to be anchored on Christian values in practice.

“This is what our natural law and culture has agreed upon as Criminality and must be respected by all, especially, the Western Countries,” Shimunza said.

He said Zambia’s Criminal Justice System, has prescribed laws in defense against morality in Cap. 87, Articles 155 and 156, which explicitly criminalises acts of unnatural carnal knowledge in society, as Sodomy.

Shimunza said all Diplomatic relations with Zambia, as a Sovereign Country and State, must respect the laws and internal security, and not compromise the same.

“The church country -wide must be commended for standing up against homosexuality in our Republic.

The church must remain resilient as the; Apostolic voice, Prophetic voice, and moral conscience of our nation,” He said.

Shimunza has since called on the church to remain vigilant that gates of hell do not prevail against the nation, as a watchdog and intercessory role in building it as stated in (Matthew 16:18-20, and Romans 1:26-32).
