Campaigning from church is not wrong – Kings
RASPY voiced gospel singer Mumbi Chisenga popularly known as Kings Malembe Malembe says as he seeks public office next year, and will utilise church platforms to campaign.
Appearing on Power FM yesterday, Kings stated that there was nothing wrong with politicians sharing their vision with church members as long as their messsge was sober.
He argued that nowhere in the Bible does it say campaigning from church is a sin, adding that the practice is acceptable as long as church leaders approve of it.
The former “son of the house” further explained that the church was one of the most powerful platforms where one could interact with potential voters.
“For you to disseminate information, you go to where people are. The church is one of the places where people are, if people are in the bar then follow them and buy them some beer,” said Kings.
“If you say you are using the church, you want them to go to who. Church is where you find a lot of people. Most people who say you are using the church once used the church. Church is where sober people are and that’s where you can share your information.”
He explained that contrary to what is known out there, church goers were not the most vulnerable consumers of information.
“Spiritual people are not vulnerable, they will draw the line between the truth and the lies. It’s not wrong to campaign in church. What’s wrong to say is castigating your friends. But if you are given 10 minutes to talk and you are guided that’s fine,” stated Kings.
Malembe Malembe is Lupososhi member of parliament aspirant and the constituency has a population of over 79,000 people.

This ain’t Congo
This is the type of schyopedity you expect from tantameni junkies who are addicted to handouts from politicians.
The legacy of ECL.
When you allow clowns to lead….expect a circus.
Yo Maps, Malembe get a few pieces of silver and now think they can buy their way into Parliament. Surely have we not had enough of the like of Jay jay Banda? Munir Zulu?
Imagine parluament full of such charecters and the kind of laws that will be made?
Imwe ba Malembe….just go and play your banjos and bu fake christian based on emotional friviolousness mwai bepa.
The PF money is running out and the next gig should be Parliament? Dont insult us…
Mathew 22:21 says, “So give back to Ceasar what is Ceasar’s and to God what is God’s”. Politics belong to the state and the church is a place for worshiping God. Donot defile God’s sanctuary by bringing your dirty politics into the church. The Catholic bishops of Ndola and Chipata, bishops Phiri and Lungu respectively must be commended for banning politicians from using church grounds for their campaigns. Other so called church leaders must emulate them.
Politicians are corrosive and divisive. They are quarrelsome and fond of using uncouth language and even telling outright lies. Those churches which host them and give them a platform to propagate their divisive messages risk losing the people’s respect and eventually cause God’s name to be blasphemed especially among the non believers. Giving politicians a platform in church cheapens the church and worse the name of God.
This Malembe Malembe is a Judas Iscariot. He exchanged his faith for thirty pieces of silver. Now the devil has shown him political power and promised him it will be his if only he will kneel down and worship him. From the blasphemy coming.out.of Malembe’s mouth, he has already bowed his kneel to the devil.
So ba Malembe, scripture is very emphatic. Keep politics out of God’s church. It is holy ground.
