Late fourth republican president rupiah Banda’s son Andrew has dispelled assertions that the government did not bother to evacuate the late president outside the country for medical treatment.
Mr. Banda says the late president on his own accord requested to be brought back home from the hospital in Dubai.
He has since appealed to members of the general public not to politicize the death of the fourth president as this act is hurting the family.
Mr banda says the family is still mourning and should be allowed to do so privately and not be pushed to issue statements to dispel speculations that are being peddled in the media by some selfish individuals who want to gain political mileage from his father’s death.
