Ms Kateka is concerned that the government has not been heard making its official position on the matter adding that the issue is clearly of high concern to a broad spectrum of Zambians.
She names some of them as the flying of the LBGT flags on 17th May at the embassies of Sweden, Finland and Germany in Zambia and the holding of a strategic meeting by some NGOs in Siavonga whose intent is alleged to be to decriminalize homosexuality. Ms Kateka has wondered whether the government has opened doors to homosexuality and lesbianism following recent events the country has witnessed. New Heritage Party Leader Chishala Kateka has challenged the government to clearly state its position on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) rights being advocated for by some sections of society.
