CSOs up for demos over Chizuma’s interdiction

By Dean Chisambo

The joint coalition of Civil Society Organisations(CSOs) have sent a warning shot to the government that they will conduct demonstrations if President Lazarus Chakwera will not reinstate Martha Chizuma as Director of Anti Corruption Bureau within ten days.


One of the activists in the joint CSOs, Boni Kalindo says if Chakwera fails to reinstate Chizuma they will never hold their patience but mobilise Malawians to the streets across the country to demonstrate and shut down Malawi.

Kalindo says Chizuma’s issue is completely ridiculous and that as human rights activists,they will not sit down and watch this happening in a democratic disposition of governance.



While commenting on the same, Redison Munlo who is also one of the activists says they are now in the process of telling the donors to stop supporting this country due to increasing number of corruption cases.

Munlo says Chakwera should be removed from the Presidency because he has failed to run the country and has also destroyed everything.

He adds that as activists, they will continue protecting Chizuma’s office
and democracy saying ACB should be independent in this country.

The Joint CSOs were planning to meet the members of parliament on Friday in Lilongwe to preside over petition to the Parliament on the interdiction of Chizuma.

They were blocked to meet the mambers of parliament because the law does allow them to do so.


Central Investigation Department (CID) police officers and other intelligence department officials were also present at the meeting.
