Join fight against graft, tribalism- Church asked

Government has appealed to the Church to join the fight against corruption, tribalism and lawlessness in the country.

Gender and Child Development Minister Inonge Wina says the Church should fight vices such as corruption and tribalism using its role of promoting ethical morals, stating that the vices are detrimental to the development of the nation.

Ms Wina, who is also Patriotic Front national chairperson, says society should see God’s justice and ethical standard of behavior through the Church and not for it to conceal wrong doing.

She says issues of corruption, tribalism and lack of respect for the rule of law should be dealt with head-on to rid the nation of vices that are detrimental to the development of the country politically, economically and socially.

Ms. Wina notes that the Church and the government should continue to partner to bring about positive image change, peace, unity and economic development in the country.

She has however commended the church and the various stakeholders for the role they are playing in fighting gender based violence and early marriages and has further urged them to continue for a better Zambia.
