Republican President Hakainde Hichilema says the death of Kabwata Member of Parliament Levy Mkandawire raises a lot of suspicions.
President Hichilema says law enforcement agencies need not to be instructed to investigate the death of Mr. Mkandawire and settle all suspicions surrounding his death in a traffic accident at his residence.
Addressing hundreds of mourners during the burial of the late Kabwata lawmaker at Leopards Hill Memorial Park, the Head of State lamented that the death of Mr Mkandawire is not only a loss to the UPND, but that the nation has lost a leader who stood for the wider interest of society.
Speaking earlier during a church service at Mary Emasculate Catholic church where hundreds of mourners gathered to pay their last respects to late Kabwata Member of Parliament, David Daka who spoke on behalf of the family said the death of Mr Mkandawire has left the family in shock and disbelief.
Mr Daka described Mr. Mukandwire as a down to earth man who always ensured that the family lived in peace and unity.
And widow to the late Charity Ngosa Mkandawire described her late husband as a pillar to the family.
Mr. Mkandawire is survived with a wife and four children.
