Speaker of the National Assembly Nelly Mutti has cautioned Members of Parliament against making unverified claims regarding the whereabouts of the remains of late former President Edgar Lungu.
The caution followed a query raised in Parliament by Binwell Mphundu, who sought clarification from Vice President Mutale Nalumango over reports suggesting that Lungu’s remains may have been stolen from a morgue in South Africa.
In her ruling, Mutti stressed that Parliament is a House guided by facts and verifiable information, urging lawmakers to avoid speculation when debating sensitive national matters.
She questioned the basis of the allegations, asking whether there was any concrete evidence to support claims that the former president’s body had been stolen.
The Speaker further warned that making unsupported statements in the House risks misleading the public and undermining the integrity of parliamentary proceedings.
Mutti also noted that the matter is already before the courts and widely discussed in the public domain, and therefore should be left to relevant authorities and the judiciary to handle.
Her remarks underscore growing concern over the spread of unverified information surrounding the late former president’s remains, as legal processes continue.
