President Rupiah Banda is in Eastern Province to attend the burial of Milanzi MP Reuben Banda who died in Lusaka on Friday last week.
President Banda is accompanied by First Lady Thandiwe Banda and landed in Mfuwe from South Africa.
The President was in Ethiopia where he attended the African Union Summit before flying to South Africa for medical checkup.
Mr. Banda described the passing on of Mr. Banda as a great loss to the nation because he was a humble and dedicated worker.
He urged MMD members in the province to remain united as they mourn the late MP who died at University Teaching Hospital in Lusaka following injuries sustained during a road traffic accident.
President Banda cautioned MPs to drive with care as many lives have been lost in the recent past due to road traffic accidents in the country.
Mr. Banda was welcomed by MMD National Secretary Katele Kalumba, Home Affairs Minister Lameck Mangani, Eastern Province Minister Isaac Banda, senior government officials and MMD Party cadres.
The late Mr. Banda would be put to rest at his village in Milanzi Constituency in Chief Kawaza’s chiefdom in Katete District today.

From Ethiopia to South Africa to Chipata! This president needs to be taught about saving! why couldn’t he delegate someone to represent him at the funeral? Rupiah, you can’t be going anywhere you feel like…
Its sad and may his soul rest in peace.
Mr president learn to delegate some duties,am sure when u cut on the trips u make the country can cost serve massively.
Our trainee pilot President? Am sure by the time he will be leaving office he would have done the required air miles to be a commercial pilot. He’s an embarrassment to those who voted for him, the villagers.
What do you expect when you have a tourist President

Comment.
Still to this day the leaders of Zambia still use foreign doctors for check ups.
Still consider Zambian doctors and hospitals USELESS and not worth using.
I guess this is why Rupiah never bothers to use them.
He does not think about the people who CAN’T travel to S.A for treatments.
given an opportunity, i wud rather that, RB and kunda die in a plane crash
and pray for the ressurection of Levy and samora. They wwere leaders not
these, but mwanga, Dan kalale wud be better not having them on earth by 2011.
may their souls toil in hell.
