THE Christian Churches Monitoring Group says Zambians should strictly assess those that are contesting the January 20, 2015 presidential election.

And the Christian Churches Monitoring Group is preparing for a Parallel Vote Tabulation ( PVT) exercise to be used as a tool for monitoring the integrity of the election results for the presidential election.

Faith- Based Organisations, namely, Council of Churches in Zambia ( CCZ), Zambia Episcopal Conference ( ZEC), Evangelical Fellowship in Zambia ( EFZ) and the Jesuit Centre for Theological Reflections ( JCTR), have come together under a consortium called Christian Churches Monitoring Group ( CCMG) to monitor the presidential election and the entire electoral process.

PRESS RELEASE

PAY THE FARMERS NOW AND STOP THIS HEARTLESS INJUSTICE

It has become unbearable to watch peasant farmers pleading with government through its agent, the Food Reserve Agency (FRA), to pay them for the maize they delivered to FRA in the last marketing season. Who will hear the cry of these people? They have pleaded on how they have been rendered destitute by government’s refusal to pay them their dues which farmers badly need to pay for their children’s school fees, pay for medication and other livelihood needs. Even worse, their capacity to participate in the just started farming season has clearly been impaired and literally sabotaged by government’s refusal to pay them their money. All we hear every day when they cry is some government official making the usual false promises of paying them soon! But how soon is soon? This is a national scandal of which government must be ashamed of.

CARITAS Zambia is a Catholic Organization that is an integral structure of the Zambia Episcopal Conference (ZEC). The Episcopal Conference (or Bishops Conference) is a permanent grouping of Bishops of a given nation or territory that jointly exercises certain pastoral functions on behalf of the Christian faithful of their territory. This they do to promote the greater good which the Church offers humankind,

The structures of Caritas in Zambia permeate from the national level to parishes (communities), consistent with the structure of the Catholic Church. At the very lower level are parishes with their out-stations and Small Christian Communities.
