Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Central Zambia, Reverend Emmanuel Chikoya, has called for the law to be applied fairly and consistently to all individuals.

Reverend Chikoya said no one is above or beneath the law, arguing that selective enforcement can create a perception that an individual is being targeted.

Speaking during the Thursday edition of 5FM’s Burning Issue programme this morning, following the arrest of Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Lusaka, His Grace Dr Alick Banda, by the Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC).

Reverend Chikoya said the motor vehicle in question is reportedly part of a wider investigation involving approximately 22 Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) motor vehicles alleged to have been improperly disposed of.

Meanwhile, Reverend Chikoya says the Church should not be apologetic about publicly addressing issues affecting society and speaking to the moral conscience of the nation.

He has supported the recent pastoral statement by the Zambia Conference of Catholic Bishops (ZCCB) which called for urgent action to strengthen peace, justice, constitutionalism and national unity.
