The nation yesterday came together in a solemn and heartfelt ceremony to honour the life and service of the late Honourable Ackson Sejani, former Cabinet Minister and Member of Parliament, who passed away while serving as Chairman of the Local Government Service Commission.
The funeral church service was held at the Anglican Cathedral of the Holy Cross on Church Road in Lusaka, attended by President Hakainde Hichilema, Vice President Mutale Nalumango ,senior government officials, members of the clergy, politicians, and mourners from across the country.
Speaking at the service, President Hichilema paid glowing tribute to the late Hon. Sejani, describing him as a “consistent, candid, and principled public servant” whose dedication to the public good shaped his every decision.
“He was a man who read the times with clarity and used every moment to advance the greater good of Zambia,” President Hichilema said.
Hon. Sejani was widely respected for his integrity, commitment to democratic ideals, and a long-standing dedication to improving local governance and public service delivery. Over the years, he held several ministerial portfolios and remained active in civic affairs up until his death.
As the Cathedral echoed with hymns and tributes, family, friends, and colleagues remembered Sejani not only for his public service but also for his humility, courage, and tireless efforts in championing transparency and justice in Zambia’s political landscape.
President Hichilema extended his deepest condolences to Mrs. Jessie Munsaka Sejani, the widow of the late minister, their children, and the wider family.
“In this time of sorrow, our thoughts and prayers are with his family and the entire nation,” he added.
May his soul rest in eternal peace.
He has the body, maybe APA mutima will relax. Kwenyu!
Fidgeting a little as he hopes his efforts in SA to attempt to bribe a judge, initiate protests and sue their government will work, lol.
Rest in Peace Sajeni.
WHAT DO YOU SMOKE?
Yes this is being honourable even in death, good family. Not bamambala Lungus who want to entomb their kleptomaniac Jameson Chagwa Agwa Kachasu Lungu in a foreign country. No wonder South Africans are protesting to have the remains of this most toxic character cast to the ground in their country because this thieving soul could haunt them forever. Kauke wabe wa pumbeka lilengwami mwa mabita ahenu kipeto u ipulukezi silumba fa mandamino.
Why do Zambians especially political leaders want to say lies on someone’s funeral? They conveniently forget that we all aren’t angels! So do their parrot journalists.
Principled, non- fimofimo, etc. But Sejani stubbornly told Zambians that UPND can only be led by a Tonga. and those are the principles??
