Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Vice President Mutale Nalumango says Government is committed to promoting morality and ethics among Zambian citizens. Mrs Nalumango said Government and the Church should continue working together to ensure that national values and principles become an integral part of the society.<\/p>\n

The Vice President said this in a speech read on her behalf by Permanent Secretary for Parliamentary business, National Guidance and Religious affairs, Ndiwa Mutelo during the closing ceremony of the church leaders consultative meeting on National scripture engagement at the cathedral of the holy Cross in Lusaka.<\/p>\n

The Vice President said, the Bible has been the best tool in history that has helped to transform not only individual lives but whole societies. Mrs Nalumango is happy that the church and bible translating institutions are making good use of technology by being innovative thereby producing audio, video and sign language scriptures.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe translation of the Word of God into local language will surely accelerate the transformation of our communities,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n

She said the government will continue working with the church and bible translation organisations to ensure that the transformation of the people helps to sustain peace, love and development.<\/p>\n

\u201cZambia, as a Christian Nation, seeks to use such innovations to mainstream Christian and moral values across all sections in the nation,\u201d Mrs Nalumango added.<\/p>\n

And the Word for the World (TWFTW) has commended the government for upholding Christian values in the country, as Zambia is the only constitutionalised Christian Nation in Africa.<\/p>\n

Dr Alemayehu Hailu emphasised the need to eradicate Bible poverty in Zambia. \u201cWhen we give scripture to the people in their mother tongue they are able to understand,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He further thanked the Government for their support throughout their consultation. Father Jackson Katete has appealed to the government to remove tax for Bible translation equipment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t only need support from outside partners, we need support from our government, in the form of removing tax on translation equipment,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
