Khombe said the President can send any other government official to attend the meeting on his behalf and him should spare his time to resolve the issues at hand.

He added that the negligence of the president to resolve the issue relating to ACB chair will lead to the country shut down.

The representative of the group under the banner “Nzika Zokhudzidwa” said the president should take an example of Anti-Jane Ansah demonstrations which led to the shutdown the countries economy years back.

Khombe also said if the president will leave without taking any action on Martha Chizuma’s case, the protestors will welcome the president on his way back from Geneva at Kamuzu International Airport (KIA).

Khombe therefore assured Malawians that they will continue monitoring issues of national importance.
