Malawi President Mutharika asked to champion reconciliation

By Lusekero Mhango

KARONGA-(MaraviPost)-Some concerned Citizen’s in Karonga and Chitipa have asked President Peter Mutharika to take a leading role in championing reconciliation among Malawians.

The grouping’s call come amid the escalating levels of violence which have iluminated due to the anti-Jane Ansah demonstrations organized by Human Rights Defendants Coalition (HRDC) where among others lives and billions of properties have been lost and looted .

Speaking at a press briefing that the concerned citizens organized on Wednesday Chairperson of the grouping Walusako Munde, said the President should stop burying his head in the sand but should come out to address the nation on escalating levels of violence in the country.

“Conflict resolution is part of leadership and we expect the president to rise to the challenge and start addressing such issues,” he said.

He further, said the grouping continues to be alarmed with what they described as blatant selective application of justice by the alleged Police Service.

According to Munde, the international community particularly SADC
, African Union and United Nations should put Malawi on a spotlight.

“The international community shouldn’t wait till the situation gets out of hand, Malawi is just a spark away from a full-blown civil war, which is currently smothering,” he warned.

However, reacting to the concerns, Government Spokes Person who is also the Minister of Information, Communications and Technology Mark Botoman, said there was no need of the president to address the nation saying he already addressed these issues in various forums that the president has appeared in.

“I do not understand when they say the president should specifically address Malawians because even last Sunday in Mulanje the president addressed the nation to live at peace despite our differences in region and tribe,” articulated the Minister.

When asked to comment on the alleged selective of justice by the Police Botoman, said it’s a matter of perception when they say selective justice.

Botomani argued that the Police has always been doing its work according to the Law.
