Govt refutes claims that it has banned Catholic Church in Zambia
The Ministry of National Guidance and Religious Affairs has dismissed with contempt a statement circulating on social media suggesting that the government has banned the Catholic Church in Zambia.
Ministry of National Guidance and Religious Affairs Permanent Secretary Katongo Chifwepa in a statement says the statement is false and misleading.
Mrs. Chifwepa says the story is aimed at causing division and disrupt peace in the country.
She says the ministry has to this effect, not issued any stamen reacting to the statement issued by the three Church mother bodies namely the Zambia Conference of Catholic Bishops, Evangelical Fellowship of Zambia and the Council of Churches in Zambia.
Mrs. Chifwepa says a comprehensive response to the statement will be issued by the appropriate authorities.
