The Government will cater for the burial of the late Robert Matano, the minister for Transport, Mr Chirau Ali Mwakwere, said Sunday.
Speaking at the home of the late politician where he had gone to pay his respects, Mr Mwakwere said the government considered the late politician a hero.
“He was among the politicians who went to Lancaster House in the clamour for the country’s first constitution and we respect him for that,” he said, adding that he was respected not only in the Coast region but also countrywide.
Mr Matano died last week aged 83 years. Kinango MP Mr Gonzi Rai said the late politician was a trailblazer for Coast politicians.
Mr Morris Mwenda, his brother and family spokesman, said the funeral service will be held on Friday March 21 and burial rest at his home in Mazeras on Saturday, March 22.
