Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige has dismissed rumours of his sudden death at the National Assembly complex on Thursday.
Speaking from faraway Zambia where he was on national assignment, Ngige urged his well wishers to disregard the rumours making the rounds that he had gone to the House of Representatives to defend the 2016 budget of his ministry but collapsed and died in the process.
The minister took to his Facebook time line to reassure that he is hale and hearty.
“Dear friends , please disregard the wicked tissue of lies, contained in an online publication about an unfortunate incident said to have taken place today (Thursday) at the National Assembly and in which I was said to have been involved.
“I am currently not in the country let alone being at the National Assembly. I have since Monday, February 15, 2016 been attending the 42nd Ordinary Session of the African Regional Labour Advisory Council, taking place in Zambia.
“The meeting ends tomorrow (Friday ). Indeed, as the Vice-Chairman of today’s session, I had the privilege of moderating as well as giving the vote of thanks on behalf of other African countries.
“I thereafter presented a gift also on their behalf to the Vice-President of Zambia, Mrs. Inonge Wina,” he wrote.
