KABESHA DEMANDS URGENT INSPECTION OF LUNGU’S BODY
…Threatens Court Action
Attorney General Mulilo Kabesha who is the Chief Legal Advisor to Government has demanded an urgent inspection and identification of late former President Edgar Lungu’s body.
In a letter by his Lawyers to the Lawyers representing the Lungu family, the Zambian government has insisted on seeing the body.
The letter seen by Zambian Eye dated today 15th August 2025, the Lawyers says efforts last week to inspect the body was met by hostility from the Lungu family.
The Lawyers failure to avail the opportunity for inspection and identification of the body will result into a court action.
The Lawyers have also asked that the Lungu family write the issues for concession they would to negotiate.
The new renowned South African distinguished Lawyer hired by the Lungu family today applied for the Pretoria High Court to stand down the matter to Monday to allow for parties time to try negotiate outside court.
Zambianeye
It’s my prayer that both Lungu family and Govt put aside there personal interests and put him to rest. Remember that it was his Godly appointed time to serve Zambia . Not all is lost, we are a people
There is nothing personal interests from government. The State is representing the people of Zambia. ECL was voted and cared for by the people of Zambia. The issue of restricting body viewing is what is bringing on a lot of conspiracies about his death.
ECL was the father of the nation hence Zambians want him to be buried in Zambia,the Zambian citizens are the ones who voted Lungu to became president in 2016 while the family only contributed a partial votes.
“A father of the nation” you insulted when he was alive and you insult even in death. A dignified burial for ECL is now only possible for his family and closest of friends outside his homeland. Even the Bible talks about how prophets are without honour in their in own land.
The endless BS from you hypocrites. Lying, thieving, corrupt Lungu? You’re lucky people care at all.
I only care to know he’s actually dead and these liars aren’t trying to fool us.
He’s NO father of any nation.
Mulibapuba ba dokota too much ubu Bemba mu mutwe. Ne filifye simple to understand becomes complicated. The Lungu family are an arrogant bunch who don’t deserve any sympathy whatsoever. What is so special about ECL. He wasn’t the father of the nation neither is the incumbent President HH. The only father of the nation was the late KK period. Lungu doesn’t deserve anything. Poor legacy a total embarrassment. And I’m from the North my late dad being Bemba and my late mom from Mbala. But I appreciate the presidency of HH, may he continue to govern Zambia with absolute dignity and grace. The man is very wise and powerful. Let the burial of ECL take place and other things will be dealt with after.
Top lawyer or not simply shows how dysfunctional and pompous the Lungu family are who have no heart for Zambia. They are busy spending the looted money from Zambia. Nonsense.
Ichipuba tewe no wakufyele. Read carefully! Is it me or Choongo above I was responding to who talked about ECL as “father of the nation”?
A Dr from Matelo.Ed should be buried in his home country period.Your friends are just arrogant cause they just don’t want to recognize HH as the head of State.They lost the election in 2021 and they are still bitter just you Dr.
Ku Matero ekumwenu mwa? You seem to know more about Matero than I do. Probably you reside there and think there is a university there. Go get your degrees there.
