The Human Rights Defenders Coalition HRDC has shifted to a later date demonstrations scheduled for December 7, 2022 and has given government a probation to fix social economic and governance challenges the country is facing.
Speaking during a press briefing in Lilongwe on Saturday, the organization’s Gift Trapence said they have arrived at the decision after noting that some concerns are being addressed by government citing an improvement in fuel availability which was one of the key concerns.
However, HRDC made fresh demands to president Lazarus Chakwera to reshuffle his Cabinet and remove non performing ministers, suspend Secretary to the office of President and Cabinet Colleen Zamba until she is cleared from the allegations made by former acting chief executive officer of National Oil Company of Malawi Helen Buluma against Zamba.
” We are calling on President Chakwera to reshuffle his cabinet so as to make everything move smooth,” said Trapence.
The human rights group last month gave government a 21 day ultimatum to address challenges such as fuel scarcity and the mess surrounding AIP implementation this year.
