The parliamentary inquiry into the June 10, 2024 military plane crash that killed Vice President Saulos Chilima and eight others heard testimony on July 1 from Kelvin Sentala, a close acquaintance of the late vice president. " Sentala said the exchange occurred after the death of former Attorney General Ralph Kasambara.
During the conversation Chilima reflected on where Kasambara might have been buried and where he himself would prefer to be laid to rest, Sentala said.
Sentala asked whether Chilima often thought about death, prompting the response. Sentala emphasized that Chilima was making a philosophical point rather than expressing fear or premonition. The committee has resumed hearings to examine the circumstances of the crash.
