KK still in hospital

THE Ministry of Health has said former president Kenneth Kaunda who should have been discharged yesterday remains admitted to a Namibian hospital.

Ministry of Health spokesperson Kamoto Mbewe said in Lusaka yesterday that according to information received yesterday from Zambian doctors who were sent to assess the condition of the former president, Dr Kaunda was still being monitored by the medical experts.

He, however, said Dr Kaunda had continued to make steady progress.

“The doctors are still monitoring Dr Kaunda who had continued to make steady progress,” Dr Mbewe said.

He said the ministry was yet to be informed about when Dr Kaunda was likely to be discharged from hospital.

  1. But why was the government using the public media to deny the story in the Post regarding KK’s hospitalization? We are now made to believe that all what has been denied by the govt was actually true. This is bad politics and extremely poor public relations on the part of the MMD govt. 

  2. What waz the excitement about announcing that KK would be discharged on Thursday, 18th? Normally a doctor will not tell the date of discharge for a patient, especially one with a medical condition.
    Get well soon mudala KK. 

  3. Why is the welfare of the first republian president not well articulated?We don’t need this to continue being shrouded in mystery and the truth about his condition needs to be known to the zambian people.We wish you well Dr Kaunda.

  4. Nyama Soya, now you want to kill even KK, you have finished them all, Cabbage, Don ChiChi, now its KK you have put on line…….. Africa twasebana.

  5. We wish you a quick recovery K.K.May God heal you and strengthen you.You are a great inspiration to us.

  6. No one has told us what the problem is with KK.Can we get what ailment KK is suffering from.GET WELL SOON SHIKULU!!

  7. Lets pray for the old man because at that age any organs can decide to give in or they may decide to take him for another 10 years. We also have the issue of low imunity that sets in after in late years and very slow body repair if ones lucky. All he need is our prayer, goodwill and support if he has time to read the press which am sure he has as he is a very well informed man.

    God please keep him blessed and give him more time to help out his nation. Thanks

  8. Your days are numbered soon you will be put to rest. Death is round the corner so is Satan… When you are old the next thing is to die…

  9. Bloggers, when an elderly man falls ill in any village,the entire village unites and puts him in prayer. Let KK’s illness unite all of us zambians including foreigners living in zambia. Moreover 19th August is a sorrowfull day as it reminds us of the death of LP(MHSRIP). No. 5 john simuko, why attack RB??you are bringing bad lack to yourself. KK our father,you will recover soon. What the press will write about you is not your fault. Get well soon.

  10. From my informed judgement and reasoning, i shud not hesitate to conclude that #10 suffers from mental malfunction and degradation,how can one comment like a devil worshipper.

  11. Iwe chi VUVUZELA who told u that LPM died on 19th august, that man died in Egypt not in france. Get your facts write before jotting your BRE fingers on the keyboard..sha

  12. Dr Kaunda,Get well soon-we appreciate your great works for Zambia in helping the liberation struggle go through under your leadership…Get well big man,Get well honourable former president,Get well Baba wataifa,Get well son of Africa,Get well grandpa to many Zambians…Get well Get well Get well…….GOD our Heavenly Father be with DR KK

  13. There is an element of dishonest or those responsible are being economical with telling the truth. KK is public property and people need t be told the truth and nothing beyond that.

  14. Whether you like it or not your KK & Satan will die one day just as I will die. When you are 84 years old next place is da grave period. No one will live forever in this sinful world.

    • CHI 10 IWE IWE IWE AKUNWAFYE AMA ARVS. NAUFIKA PASITAGE YA LOSS OF MEMORY KA

  15. You are soo unhuman no.21 Chama Chakomboka. What sort of a person are you. You must be a Mad person or SATAN Himself..
