Political and good governance commentator Victor Chipofya has cast doubt on the UTM party’s ability to investigate the recent plane crash that killed Vice President Saulos Klaus Chilima’s brother and eight others. Chipofya’s remarks come after UTM expressed dissatisfaction with the preliminary report released by the German Federal Bureau and announced plans to conduct their own investigation.
According to Chipofya, UTM lacks the necessary skills and expertise to investigate the cause of the crash.
“While there are indeed unanswered questions surrounding the report, UTM does not have the capacity to conduct a thorough and credible investigation,” Chipofya said.
Chipofya’s comments have sparked debate, with some arguing that UTM’s move is a mere publicity stunt.
“It’s a desperate attempt to gain political mileage from a tragic incident,” said one observer.
The German Federal Bureau’s report has raised more questions than answers, with many calling for a comprehensive investigation.
However, Chipofya insists that UTM is not equipped to handle such a complex investigation.
“UTM’s stance is mere rhetoric, and they will not be able to uncover anything substantial,” Chipofya added.
The incident has sparked widespread speculation, with many theories emerging about the cause of the crash.
However, Chipofya cautions against speculation, emphasizing the need for a credible and expert-led investigation.
As the nation waits for answers, the UTM party’s plans to investigate have been met with skepticism.
With Chipofya’s comments casting doubt on their ability to do so, it remains to be seen whether UTM will proceed with their investigation.
In a related development, the Malawi Government has announced a full investigation into the crash, with international experts expected to join the probe.
The move has been welcomed by many, who hope that the truth will finally be uncovered.
The incident has also raised questions about aviation safety in Malawi, with many calling for improved measures to prevent such tragedies in the future.
As the debate continues, one thing is clear: the nation demands answers, and only a credible investigation will suffice.
