MUKUKA APPEALS TO GOVERNMENT TO CONTINUE ENGAGING LUNGU FAMILY
Youth advocate Tiza Mukuka has appealed to the Zambian Government to continue engaging the family of former President Edgar Lungu with humility and dialogue, despite recent court setbacks in efforts to repatriate the late leader’s remains.
Speaking the Zambian gazette media, Mukuka urged authorities to avoid further legal battles and instead pursue a conciliatory approach aimed at reaching a mutual understanding with the Lungu family.
“My appeal to the government is to compromise and continue engaging the Lungu family rather than using the courts. I believe the family had intended to bring President Lungu home at some point,” Mukuka said
He further called on the government not to abandon efforts to secure the repatriation of the former Head of State’s remains, even after indicating that it would not appeal the latest court ruling.
Mukuka emphasized that continued dialogue and respect for the family’s position could help foster consensus and ultimately lead to a resolution acceptable to all parties.
His remarks come amid ongoing public interest in the dispute surrounding the repatriation and burial arrangements of former President Edgar Lungu.
There is nothing to compromise about. The Lungu family now has the cake. It is time for time for them to eat it.
The State will not appeal and by that stroke of genius has shown that it is no longer interested in the matter.
Stop wasting your and our time dragging us backward into bygones. Learn to move on. There is time for everything under the sun. Get a life and move on.
The burial of Edgar Lungu is now the responsibility of his family. I don’t anticipate the government saying anything beyond what Mr Mulilo has already stated. The government should refrain from interfering altogether. If the Lungu family faces any difficulties, it is up to them to reach out to the government for assistance if needed.
