Africa-Press<\/a> – Zambia<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The family of the late Dr. Kenneth Kaunda says it is being forced to accept government\u2019s decision to bury Dr Kaunda at a Embassy Park against his wishes.<\/p>\n

Dr Kaunda had wanted to be buried at State Lodge next to his wife, Betty. However, sources close to the family have revealed that government is insisting on burying Dr Kaunda at Embassy next Wednesday.<\/p>\n

They then want to exhume his body at a later date for a reburial to comply with his wishes. Dr. Kaunda\u2019s grandchildren, writing on behalf of the family, have pleaded with President Edgar Lungu to reconsider the decision to bury the beloved statesman at Embassy Park.<\/p>\n

The letter, dated June 23 2021, reads: \u201cWe, the undersigned, representing the collective view of the family, have taken into consideration the proposal to exhume Dr Kaunda\u2019s remains from Embassy Park after the burial to be relocated at his residence as a compromise to the family\u2019s request.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, we find this proposal unnecessary as our gallant first president needs to rest in peace at his final resting place.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe therefore humbly request the government reconsiders its decision to bury him at Embassy Park and honour what was his only final wish, to be buried next to his dear wife at his residence.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of Dr. Kaunda\u2019s sons, Kaweche, confirmed knowledge of the request, saying Dr. Kaunda\u2019s grandchildren were requesting that President Lungu intervenes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are requesting the president to honour his wish because the site which is being prepared is not his wish. His wish was to be put next to our mother.<\/p>\n

\u201cSpeaking for myself, I would love them to honour his wish. This is something he said time and time again,\u201d said Kaweche.<\/p>\n

He said the family would seek a proper and satisfying reason for not honouring Dr. Kaunda\u2019s wishes if the government goes ahead with its preferred burial site.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe understand our father was a larger than life figure so if they give us a good reason and explain to us properly, we will understand,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Writing on behalf of the family on June 21, Dr. Kaunda\u2019s eldest son, Panji, expressed gratitude to the state and Lungu for according Kaunda a state funeral. He, too, urged the government to reconsider its preferred burial site.<\/p>\n

\u201cFollowing our discussion between the family and the state representatives, it was agreed that we, as the family, would provide guidance to the state regarding his burial wishes,\u201d reads his letter.<\/p>\n

\u201cTherefore, the undersigned, children and grandchildren, sat to consider government\u2019s proposal to bury him at Embassy Park and feel grateful, but the family requests, with great humility, that the state considers his wish.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe propose the first president be accorded his last wish to be buried next to his wife, the late Mama Betty Mutinkhe Kaunda, on his farm,\u201d wrote the retired army lieutenant-colonel who is the family\u2019s representative in the talks, according to a family source.<\/p>\n

The insiders have claimed it was in response to this request that the government proposed as a compromise burying Dr. Kaunda at the national monument and to exhume his body at a later date.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government came back in a confidential letter and said they would like to bury him at Embassy Park. They cited it is a dedicated national monument and they were more or less claiming they are controlled by law, but I think that is not the case,\u201d said a source.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe exhumation doesn\u2019t sit well with us. There are one or two senior family members who are okay with it. But the old man preferred a burial site next to his wife. He was very clear about it and I think government is fully aware of it.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven if you want to let it go, he told everybody he wanted to lay next to his wife and no-one told him \u2018you can\u2019t\u2019 when he was alive,\u201d said the source. The Zambian government could not be reached for comment. Dr. Kaunda\u2019s funeral is set for today and his burial for next Wednesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
