ZAMBIAN GOVT WANTS TO GIVE LUNGU A DIGNIFIED BURIAL
Attorney General Mulilo Kabesha says the Zambian government wants to give former President Edgar Lungu a dignified and decent burial.
Speaking to journalists in Pretoria, South Africa, Mr. Kabesha said such a burial would involve laying Mr. Lungu to rest at Embassy Park in Zambia, where other late former Heads of State are buried.
Mr. Kabesha also called on all Zambians to pray for the Lungu family as they go through a difficult time, adding that matters relating to how the former First Family will be treated will be addressed in due course.
He further reiterated that the Zambian government will respect the decision of the court in the ongoing matter.
In this case, the Zambian government has sued some members of the Lungu family, including former First Lady Esther Lungu, seeking the repatriation of Mr. Lungu’s body for burial in Zambia contrary to the family’s wishes.

Yes, that’s none negotiable as it is also an obligation for the government with the sitting president presiding over the funeral.
Don’t pop Mabisi yet ba Kabesha.
The Dignity you talk about is hollow..And if indeed the body is repatriated , allow us the people to mourn the late President, Dr Edgar Chagwa Lungu without useless Mingalatos. Don’t think people are happy with the way Dr Edgar Chagwa Lungu was treated when he was alive , and how he has been treated in death..and how the Widow and family have been treated.
For once Behave, if the remains come to Zambia.
The biggest oversight is when you only scrutinize how ECL was treated when he was alive without a reflection of how ECL himself treated others when he was in power…it was terrible to say the least.
In death, if Mrs Esther Lungu was as white as snow Lungu would have been buried within normal state funeral days.
Don’t ask me why because Mrs Lungu herself told the world why she is turning and twisting the process which has end up into 2 full moons today.
