Reverend Lungu, who is also President of the Evangelical Youth Alliance, expresses disappointment over the attempt by various opposition political parties to exploit the clergyman’s invitation, misleading the public into believing the government is targeting the Catholic Church.
He emphasizes that a distinction must be made between an individual and the church, and notes that there is no cause for panic since the anti-graft agency has not publicly disclosed any information about the invitation.
Reverend Lungu advises clergymen to exercise due diligence when receiving gifts to avoid embarrassment. 
He also cautions against making emotive and divisive remarks that aim to divide the church and the country, instead advocating for calm among concerned parties until the investigations are concluded.
Reverend Lungu held the position of DEC chaplain during the new deal administration of Levy Mwanawasa, which had stepped up its fight against corruption during its administration.
