The government says it is awaiting the final report from German investigators, BFU, to proceed with building a memorial tower at the plane crash site in Chikangawa Forest.
According to Government Chief Spokesperson, Moses Kunkuyu, the report will address the construction of the tower to honor the nine people who lost their lives, including the late Vice President Dr. Saulos Chilima.
Kunkuyu earlier stated that the government was considering requests from the Chilima family and others regarding the memorial tower.
He mentioned that the next steps would be clear once the final report is released, as it is essential to understand the circumstances surrounding the deaths to honor the departed.
However, there has been no any immediate response from the families of the deceased.
Meanwhile, Parliamentarian Sameer Suleman believes that the construction of the tower is a way to honor the heroes and is not directly related to the final report.
