The Popular Democratic Movement (PDM) has called on the government to be caring at all times and not wait for tragedy to happen.

This was said by the party's Secretary-General Manuel Karingombe when he visited the bereaved Kangungu family, which lost 16 family members due to suspected food poisoning.

The Kangungu family is calling on good Samaritans to assist them with food that they can use as they wait for the burial day, despite assurances from the government to assist with funeral arrangements.
