The government has stressed that it will not hesitate to defer the Annual Methodist Church Conference indefinitely if the security forces suspect any motive to cause instability.
Permanent Secretary for Information, Lt Colonel Neumi Leweni confirms that Reverend Manasa Lasaro from the Methodist Church is under police investigation for a proposal he made to the church hierarchy.
Lt Colonel Leweni said the proposal appears to be against the law and against the government, and if this type of matters will be discussed in the conference then no permit will be granted.
Lt Colonel Leweni appeals especially to members of the Methodist Church who are preparing for the annual conference not to be misled by the few people trying to cause instability.
He said the public must remember that many people including members of the Methodist Church were misled by political opportunists in 2000. Lt Colonel Leweni said we have been down this path before but this time around the government and the security forces are more alert and will be proactive in its collective efforts to keep the peace throughout the nation.
The Methodist Church conference is being planned for August in Lomanikoro, Rewa.
