Some Lusaka residents have expressed concern over the war of words between the ruling Patriotic Front and some opposition political parties on the national prayer and fasting day.

Samuel Kafungo says government should realize that if it continues to respond to those who are not for the idea of the prayer and fasting, it may be discouraging people who are willing to take part.

Mr. Kafungo says government should respect those who are not for the idea and but remember them in the prayers so that they realize the importance of prayer and fasting and be able to take part next time.

Michael Kawanga says reconciliation, unity and love are not suppose to be a one day thing but that government should show love, unity and reconciliation even before 18th October so as to inspire the people of Zambia and show them that they truly mean it unlike the case is where government is responding to everyone who is against the day.

Elijah Mushusha says government should lead by example by the language from those in leadership as well as their conduct failure to which the day may turn out to be like any other day.

He further states that where government does not agree with the opinion of the opposition, it should find a polite way of responding to them and not in a provocative way.
