Bishop Victor Kalesha Calls for Respect Towards the Zambian Presidency

 Bishop Victor Kalesha of the Citygate Christian Centre has issued a passionate plea for Zambians to uphold the dignity and respect of the Presidency, amidst ongoing criticism and attacks against the institution. 

In a statement that has drawn attention from various sectors, Bishop Kalesha specifically addressed Chilufya Tayali, urging him to reconsider his recent public remarks.

"We urge Chilufya Tayali and others to refrain from disparaging the Presidency, an institution of honor and governance in Zambia," Bishop Kalesha said.

 "Regardless of who holds the office, the Presidency deserves respect and dignity. Continuous attacks and disrespect towards the President and the institution are unacceptable and unbearable."

Bishop Kalesha's remarks come at a time when political discourse in Zambia has been marked by increasing tension and hostility. 

He expressed concern over what he described as a "pattern of hatred, jealousy, and bitterness" in Tayali's words and actions. 

The bishop advised Tayali to reflect on the consequences of his behavior not only for himself but also for his loved ones and the wider community.

"As the scriptures warn, bitterness is akin to a spirit of witchcraft (Galatians 5:20)," Bishop Kalesha noted. 

He urged Tayali to "seek a path of love, kindness, and respect" and to think about the legacy he wishes to leave for his daughter and future generations.

Bishop Kalesha's message extends beyond a single individual, calling on all Zambians to protect and uphold the integrity of the Presidency.

 "Let us all work towards promoting respect, kindness, and positivity," he emphasized. "We owe it to ourselves, our children, and the future of Zambia."

As a prominent religious leader, Bishop Kalesha's call for unity and respect is likely to resonate with many Zambians who share his concern for the nation's stability and the preservation of its democratic institutions. 

His statement serves as a reminder of the importance of civil discourse and the need to rise above personal differences in the interest of national cohesion.
