This is a sad day in our history. No nation deserves to put its leader through such pain.

The people around President Sata are extremely heartless to have exposed our beloved leader to public ridicule & embarrassment. It seems what they only care about is power, wealth and influence.

The president is clearly not well. He needs our prayers now more than ever. He also needs a lot of rest. He has contributed immensely to the development of this country and non can take it away from him.

Indeed we thank God for having blessed us with such a dedicated leader in the person of one Michael Chilufya Sata. However, the fact still remains that he needs adequate rest for him to fully recuperate and re energise his faculties.

I know I will be labelled tribal and bitter by some for saying what I have saId. I care less. I know what my eyes have seen and what my ears have heard today. And I say what I say not with malicious intent but in the spirit of compassion for my president and love for my country.

Thank you!
