Ministry of Information and Media Permanent Secretary Thabo kawana has urged Zambians to put politics aside and and instead offer prayers for Former president Edgar Chagwa Lungu’s recovery and refrain from dragging him into political matters.
Mr Kawana has refuted rumours going around social media which alleges that the government had not evacuated FDD leader Edith Nawakwi.
Speaking at the media briefing in lusaka today, Kawana called upon Lungu’s family to protect his image from political drama by individuals whose aim is to gain mileage from his name .
He Also disclosed that Former President Edgar Lungu and President Hakahinde Hichilema are always in contact with each other from Time to Time despite the public perception of the two having political raggles.
He further dismissed claims that the government is trying to block Geoffrey Mwamba’s access to medical treatment in south Africa saying that authorities declined his travel due to his status as a convicted prisoner emphasizing that one hospital refused to treat him while another agreed, waiting to receive instructions from the South African Government.
