President Michael Sata regrets to announce the death of Hon. Kennedy Sakeni, the Minister of Information and Broadcasting Services and Chief Government spokesperson.
Mr. Sakeni, who was also Mansa Central PF Member of Parliament died this afternoon at Lusaka’s University Teaching Hospital (UTH).
And President Sata has sent a message of condolences to the Sakeni family.
In his letter of condolences to the late Sakeni’s widow, President Sata described Mr. Sakeni’s death as heartbreaking.
“It is with deep sorrow and grief that I learnt of the death of your dear husband Mr. Sakeni, the Minister of Information and Broadcasting Services of the Republic of Zambia,” read President Sata’s letter in part.
“On behalf of the Government and the people of the Republic of Zambia and indeed on my own behalf, I extend my highest and sincere condolences to you, the children and our party the Patriotic Front [PF] for this painful loss.
The Head of State stated that it was indeed tragic that the nation has lost a leader who rendered a gallant service to the country in the various distinguished portfolios he held.
“Mr Sakeni’s works as a career intelligence officer in the Zambia Security Intelligence Service [ZSIS], as Member of Parliament for Chifunabuli, as deputy Minister of Home Affairs and Luapula Province and more recently as Member of Parliament for Mansa Central, Minister of Home Affairs and Minister of Information and Broadcasting Services as well as PF Luapula Province chairman have undeniably assisted in strengthening our country’s political and economic capabilities,” President Sata stated.
“No doubt, the Zambian people and his closer family in the PF feel deeply sad for the loss of this national leader of Mr. Sakeni’s standing and public service credentials, and share your family’s grief. Indeed, we have lost a great leader and a resolved politician and businessman.”
President Sata prayed that the Sakeni family takes comfort and solace in the understanding that the entire nation’s thoughts and prayers are with them during this distressing and excruciating period.

It surprising how pipo don’t have regard for the dead and like some fools shamelessly making stupid remarks. Gentlemen and ladies let us ve respect for the dead. Robinson be careful wit yo remarks. God be wit the morning family.
A good man indeed.
Condolences to the Sakeni Family. Their bread-winner worked tirelessly and agresively to serve the cunning interests of PF system. In this regard we hope the PF will support Sakeni’s vulnerable children. He should have been allowed to retire early on grounds of ill-health but the system were bent to see him toil up to his death bed. MHSRIP.
Very true indeed,he was abuse by PF. They easly foget some1 once he is hospitalised no wonder the Winters wer having secret meetings they new the outcome. A bitter warning to oposition ministers. if they can foget thier own wht more~~; MHSRIP.
MHSRIP this guy was abused by the pf, that’s why the lord has decided to rest him.so the pf will go to the funeral and say he was a very hard working minister,we have lost a comrade what ever what ever uko. but they had neglected him.they just parked him at UTH waiting for him to die.
PIPO STOP THAT DEVILSHI LANGUENGE OH ISEE U ARE PIPO FROM HH THE DEVIL WORSHIPER SORRY NO ZAMBIA 4 U FUCK OFF KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Who told you there is a dark cloud hovering over Zambia? As far as my eyes can see, the Zambian sky is very clear and bright. Remember there is a time to be born and a time to die. Once someone is born what follows is death. I’m sorry to say so but that is the way it is.
May his soul rest in peace
From Hon Minister with state security to food for maggots, life is funny!
mhsrip
Let him rest. The man was a useless PF vuvuzela whos comments on very serious national matters were mostly off the mark. He thought PF is everything. Zambia forward!
Chimusebo chakumanda nkachitulaula, chimusebo chakumanda nkachitulaula chasenda Kenny nkachitulaula!
Death has laid its cold hands of Hon. Kennedy Sakeni and it is SAD that yet again a dark cloud is hovering over Zambia following the death of a minister.
Sad that we will no longer hear the PF mouthpiece. Gone, gone, gone!!!!!
MHSRIEP!
Let him rest
He was being abused by PF
sad indeed!MHSRIEP.
Rest in Peace Hon. Sakeni
