Senior Chief Musele of Kalumbila District has directed that the K75, 000 raised by traders at Kisasa Market be handed over to the children of the late Helen Kamutumbe who was murdered in a mob justice incident in the area two months ago.
The media reports that the money was presented to Kalumbila District Commissioner, Brenda Sankisa after traders contributed the funds as a gesture of apology to Senior Chief Musele following the incident that led to the temporary closure of Kisasa Market.
Senior Chief Musele said he could not personally keep or use the money, but instead directed that it be given to the deceased’s children to help with their welfare and education.
He noted that the late Helen Kamutumbe left behind children who now have no one to support them with school fees and rentals.
And Kalumbila District Commissioner, Brenda Sankisa disclosed that family members have been informed to bring the children from Chingola to Kalumbila for the formal handover process.
Ms Sankisa said the money will only be handed over in the presence of the children and family representatives who will witness the process.
