State House has dismissed claims by UPND Leader Hakainde Hichilema that President Lungu has invited witch-doctors from Malawi to help him win next year’s elections.
Special Assistant to the President for Press and Public Relations Amos Chanda has told journalists in Lusaka today that the President will be going for an extended tour in Kitwe not because has he invited witch-doctors to State House.
Mr. Chanda says if the UPND Leader wants to invite traditional doctors he should do it at his own peril without bringing in the name of the President.
Mr Chanda was responding to claims by Mr Hichilema in Kabwe yesterday that President Lungu has invited three Malawian witch-doctors to help him win the 2016 elections, and that his planned working visit to Kitwe was meant to allow the said witch-doctors perform their task.
And PF Deputy Secretary General Mumbi Phiri says it is very shocking that Mr Hichilema is associating President Lungu with the dark forces when he has made it clear that he is a Christian.
Ms Phiri has questioned Mr Hichilema’s Christianity for having written to President Lungu asking him to cancel the prayer and fasting which the country held on 18th October.
Ms Phiri has advised Mr. Hichilema to stop ridiculing the name of the President saying his faith is well known unlike him who allegedly opposes everything of God.
