He assured the nation that all was well in as far as the governance of the nation was concerned but that the government was quite concerned about President Mwanawasa's absence.
Mulongoti who is also Minister of Information and Broadcasting Services said "we have been praying for President Mwanawasa who is indisposed in France. Continue praying because God in his time will answer our prayers.
Mwanawasa has been admitted at the Percy Military Hospital in Paris, France, since July 1, 2008 where he is receiving medical treatment.
