ANGLICAN Diocese of Eastern Zambia Bishop William Mchombo has urged the
government to come up with pro-poor policies that can help reduce poverty levels
in the country. In his end of year message, Bishop Mchombo said the government
should put in place measures that would help raise living standards of the
people.

“The year 2008 was a very critical year, I think poverty levels for our
people have been very grinding and if you go round the villages, you can see
that there should be a deliberate policy to help people especially in rural
areas to come out of poverty,” Bishop Mchombo said.
