Drifting has cost Zambia – SataTIME PUBLISHED - Tuesday, October 11, 2011, 4:28 pm
President Michael Sata says Zambia’s development has lagged behind because of its drifting relationship with the West.
President Sata says in the recent years Zambia has drifted away from the west to establish relations with other regions.
He was speaking when the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams called on him at State House in Lusaka.
President Sata says First Republican President Kenneth Kaunda achieved a lot during his reign because of the close relations he had with the West.
Mr Sata knelt and kissed the hand of the Archbishop of Canterbury and his delegation that accompanied him to State House.
The President told Dr Williams that the church in Zambia lacks human resource to spread the word of God and asked the Church in Canterbury to send some of its priests to serve in Zambia.
And Dr Williams congratulated President Michael Sata on his election as President of Zambia and wished him well in his quest to bring development to Zambia.
He also acknowledged President Sata’s commitment to develop a fair and just tax regime in the country.
The Archbishop of Canterbury is in the country for a two day visit and will leave the country on Thursday.
