‘Follow process on deported priest’

No comments :
Zambia -Minister of Information and Broadcasting Services Kennedy Sakeni has advised people calling for the revocation of the deportation of Catholic priest Father Viater Banyangandora to follow the right channel by writing to the Government, instead of speaking through the press.

Mr Sakeni, who is also Chief Government Spokesperson, says the government, through the relevant authorities, is ready to consider the concerns regarding the deportation of the Rwandese national.

He however said Government is reluctant to engage in discourse over the matter, based on media reports and without any clear submissions from the aggrieved parties.
He said at a press briefing in Lusaka yesterday that members of the public should follow proper channels when airing their grievances regarding the deportation of Fr Banyangandora, by writing to the government, instead of using the media.

“Government wishes to advise those calling for the revocation of the deportation of Fr Banyangandora to make their submissions using proper channels. Up until now, Government is only learning of these calls and appeals through the media.

“If there are any grievances related to this matter, Government, through the relevant authorities, is ready to consider such concerns, as long as proper channels are followed, as enshrined in the laws of the land,” Mr Sakeni said.
