The four have been formally charged with two counts including proposing violence at an assembly.

According to the state, the suspects disrespected court’s order that stopped the demonstration and were advising the protestors to burn down judiciary cars, judges and magistrate’s houses and court rooms.

MANGOCHI-(MaraviPost)-The Human Rights Ambassadors (HRAs)on Thursday, June 16, 2022 joined tens of thousands of Malawians in Mangochi holding demonstrations against President Lazarus Chakwera and his Vice Saulosi Chilima for failing to fulfill campaign promises and high cost of living.

Mangochi says no to Chakwera leadership

Just as last week in Mulanje, many people turned up for the demonstrations speaking for itself that things are not good in Malawi and Malawians are answering a question on whether or not the country can go into a Referendum as it was on 14th June, 2014.

Apart for Malawi to hold a Referendum, the HRA is also asking Malawians to speak out by expressing their views on whether or not they are happy with Chakwera –Chilima governance system which has made many Malawians to remain in Egypt than to go to the promised- land, Canaan.

Delivering the petition to the Mangochi District Commissioner, leader of the HRAs demonstrators, Kingsley Mpaso has given Chakwera seven days to resign with a warning that failure to resign, will force Malawians to hold a vigil at Capital Hill in Lilongwe.

Mpaso said Malawians heard it by themselves from Chakwera’s mouth that if he fails to deliver in two years after being voted into power, he will resign saying the President has to live to his words now.

“It’s not a secret at all , he promised to resign if he fails to run government in 2 years, no need to remind him, he should resign now, as per his words,’’ said Mpaso.

State house is yet to respond on the demands.

Chakwera Tonse government is unable to fix the ailing economy since two years in power.
