UNCERTAINTIES surrounds President Edgar Lungu’s scheduled medical review and the lack of timely updates from his office have fueled speculations.
President Lungu was supposed to undergo medical review after attending the AU summit in South Africa which ended on Monday last week.
This was supposed to be President Lungu’s first review after he collapsed in March this year.
And State House is soon expected to issue a statement on President Edgar Lungu’s medical review in South Africa.
Meanwhile, the official launch of the Digital Migration Switch over which was slated for tomorrow at the Mass Media Complex has been postponed, because President Lungu will be unavailable.
Last week, President Lungu started his medical review in South Africa after attending the 25th Africa Union (AU) summit, which closed on Monday.
Special assistant to the President for press and public relations Amos Chanda,however, could not disclose the hospital where President Lungu is having his medical review because the arrangement is under the courtesy of the South African government and it does not want to draw public attention.

We have been through this route too many times as a country and we seem to be going round in circles. Why do we knowingly elect patients as presidents starting from their own political parties to national elections. Like SATA, lungu’s productivity performance is certainly less than 50% because the man is unwell. This in itself is cost to country. A country of sickly presidents.

My father should not worry you Sir because he is private citizen whose issues have no national effect.
This is not about falling sick but chronic health problems of the person vying for presidency. It was an issue during campaigns and it was vehemently denied.
We have gone through this too many times as a country and we are feeling the cost of it now.

Yes you also have a point a routine “checkup” doesnt need to take more than a day, utmost 2 days. But its a week! As for presidency, Zambia is on auto-pilot since Edgar didnt appoint a baby seater.

son of a gun man you seem to be very upset. what has upset you? Alot of your friends are celebrating the return of your president, one wonders whether the presidency has been reduced to it being an achievement when a president returns to his home country. The economy is in tatters and this is what you are more concerned about? foolish

I we chimbwi!learn to distinguish getting upset and being obsessed with your Tantrum, hate and Ignorance that you and your colleagues display in the public domain about our president,the foolishness you people display leaves much to be desired,UPSET!with what? uguys r Irritating.EVERY PRESIDENT has that FACILITY in his capacity as a states man to go for medical checkup he is not a common man like your vulnerable father,there is the whole aspect of saying no he is wasting resources to go for medicals,bear with it he is entitled to it.
