National Advocacy Platform (NAP) has condemned the stoning of Minister of Information and Digitalization Moses Kunkuyu’s convoy that happened Ndirande in Blantyre saying this represents an alarming escalation of lawlessness and political intolerance.
In a press statement which NAP chairperson Benedicto Kondowe and NAP National Coordinator Baxton Nkhoma jointly signed expressed concern about deliberate creation of “no-go-zones” which undermines the fundamental principles of democracy including freedom of movement, association as well as political participation.
“These violent acts are an affront to Malawi’s Constitution and international human rights commitments, signaling an alarming shift towards political intolerance and lawlessness,” reads part of the statement.
NAP is also pleading with Peace and Unity Commission to take a bold step as the Commission’s failure to address rising political tension risks violence and destabilizing electrol process, leaving a dangerous vacuum in peace building efforts.
The grouping therefore calls President Lazarus Chakwera to showcase Presidential leadership in urgently and publicly condemning acts of political violence to reinforce Malawi’s commitment to peace and democracy.
NAP is also calling President Chakwera to act by arresting and prosecuting perpetuators, act on impartial policing, proactive peace mediation, among others.
