MMD President Nevers Mumba says he does not think there is need for anyone to attach conditions for participating in the national prayer and fasting scheduled for the 18th October.
Dr. Mumba says if a prayer meeting is called, such as the one President Edgar Lungu has called, it is up to an individual to attend or not.

Dr. Mumba has told Qfm News that this is why he thinks there is no need to make a big deal out of the declaration of the national day of prayer and fasting by President Lungu.
He has however, disclosed that his party will this week on Friday, 9th October discuss the issue more comprehensively by considering the demerits and merits for having such a national prayer.
Dr. Mumba states that his party wants to build a case that will help address not only the single issue of national prayer.
He notes that as party whose interest is to highlight the role of God in governance, the MMD is particularly happy that it has been given this opportunity to deal with a subject that is of concern to it.
