Lusaka Permanent Secretary Elias Kamanga says security will be heightened to ensure observance of the COVID-19 health guidelines during the public viewing of the late Kenneth Kaunda’s cortege and church service at woodland stadium on Monday.

ZANIS reports that the Permanent Secretary said during a media briefing this morning that this is intended to avoid crowding in view of the swelling cases of COVID-19 adding that entry to the stadium will be restricted to people who will be masked up.
“ All people who will be lined up on designated routes where the funeral party will pass should be masked-up, “ he said adding that: ‘ those who will not have face masks will be sent back.”

And Mr Kamanga has warned that political party regalia will not be allowed at the Provincial public viewing of Dr Kaunda’s body.
He stated that all political parties heads at Provincial level have be invited to the occasion.
When are you going to bury the old man surely what type of govt is?
The great man KK’s public body viewing should’ve been done in Lusaka only.
This government, what next!
Zambians always whining…what is the problem now? Some id.iot wants to know where KK will be buried, as if that is his problem. Complete jokers these social media CEOs.
These PF thieves have no shame, or respect for the dead.
They have gone against the wishes of KK’s family and proceeded with their own agenda.
This is not the agenda of Zambians.
Let us make sure we bring back sanity and respect to our country.
Vote wisely.
“Zambians always whining…what is the problem now? ”
DONT YOU THINK WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO WHINE ?????
57 YEARS IN THE DOLDRUMS AND SINKING FURTHER
ALL GOVERNMENT CAN DO IS PUSH THE KAUNDA ROAD SHOW DOWN OUT THROATS
WE HAVE MORE IMPORTANT ISSUES AT STAKE
THIS WILL WORK AGAINST THEM FOR SURE !!!!!!!!
Tikki, Whining is not drinking wine. Whining is crying like a hungry piglet.
