Excessive intake of alcohol worries CRFI

CRFI Chairman Goodson Kamanga

Christ the Redeemer International Friends (CRFI) has welcomed the revelation that cabinet has passed a resolution to put in place measures that will prevent excessive intake of alcohol among citizens, following worrying statistics that indicate that 42 percent of Zambia women drink excessively.

CRFI Chairman Goodson Kamanga has observed that not only does alcohol intake beyond recommended levels have health consequences among citizens but that it is not in line with Christian morals.

Pastor Kamanga tells QTV News that Zambia is a Christian nation and therefore the government should strive to ensure that it promotes good morals among the citizens.

Pastor Kamanga says there is also need for the government to ensure that it engages the church on this aspect if it wants to achieve the desired results.
