Army barracks to host HRDC, Attorney General talks
Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) officials and the Attorney General court sanctioned talks over peaceful protests have now shifted to Kamuzu Barracks in Lilongwe.
HRDC chairperson Timothy Mtambo has confirmed the talks resumes on Wednesday in the high security Kamuzu Barracks.
“We chose the venue for security reasons. We have trust in our soldiers, we will feel secure there. The MDF soldiers successfully protect our country and they will protect us too,” said Mtambo.
The choice of Kamuzu Barracks as venue for the talks follows grenade scare reports during last meeting at Cross Roads Hotel.
HRDC claimed a man had planted a grenade in Mtambo’s vehicle before he was chased away by HRDC security men, a claim dismissed by the government as fantancy talk as the hotel was well secured by the police.
During the Cross Roads Hotel meeting, the two sides had agreed on some procedures to be followed when holding peaceful demonstrations to avoid a repeat of violence which destroyed some property and injured some people.
The meeting follows an order made by Justice Lovemore Chikopa of the Malawi Supreme Court of Appeal that the two parties must, within 14 days, hold negotiations to on how HRDC can exercise the constitutional right to demonstrate without violence and crime.
Section 38 of the Republican Constitution guarantees that every person shall have the right to assemble and demonstrate with others peacefully and unarmed.
The HRDC, which has been holding demonstrations since the announcement of the May 21 presidential election results, wants Ansah to resign to pave the way for investigations into identifying and prosecuting those who supplied Tippex that was used to alter election figures on result sheets.

Yemwe sakuwona kuti mtambo ndiwamisala nde kut nayeso ndi wamisala.ma petrol bom ndi system yawo ncholinga choipitsa boma.
You are very correct. Only the gullible will believe Mtambo’s planks. Akuti munthu amayika bomba mu galimoto mwanga koma tamuthamangitsa wathawa. Aaa sure? Reminds me of Kamlepo and his abduction drama. They think Malawians are fools
Malawi Army must be very very careful with HRDC, should not involve themselves with these Rascals,
they are not mandated by any Malawian to speak for them, they dont have any legal mandate to represent anyone and Malawi Army must not involve themselves in any Political squables. Mtambo Trapence, Sembereka are people who are trying to cause political instability in the Country being used by Politicians
What political instability are you referring to? So you hate them to an extent that you would love see them dead?. Why not Malawi Army provide security to our human right defenders? That’s their role to provide security to the state and these patriotic citizens that you have mentioned are part of the state. Ooowo! So you recognise the role of the army when it goes for peace keeping in DRC and not to serve Malawians? Shallow thinking! You are blind man!! You see three individuals but people of good will see millions Malawian in them.
Bravo soldiers for providing heavenly place
Well done Army & well done HRDC. The so called AG is a product of the flawed elections so who can trust Kalekeni Kaphale?
MPAKA KU BARRACKS
HRDC nanu kukonda attention. Once beaten twice shy. AG and government tried to plant death on your heads and here you are again giving them another chance. If we sin while God is watching nde munthu akaope army?
BRAVO MDF !! BRAVO HRDC !!
Are they also moving their residences to the Barracks? The barracks are the worst places in terms of insecurity across the country if they may be schooled…
Obviously you never been to the barracks! Try entering with weapons or even with a cap on or starting some shit in the barracks and tell me again that its the worse security across the country before you speak from a point of ignorance!
Uziwa chani inu alaiya
Chigawa was gunned down yet he was the army commander. No place is safe unless if you are dead. But even dead people are terrorised
HRDC should let madam Jane Ansa explain in court
HRDC did not audit the vote process
They just did not like the results
Next time make coalition before elections
Little by little these bastards are managing to drag the army into political mud and unknowingly the army because they want to be relevant are falling for the hook. Somebody who knows how democracy work should guide me where these bastards are deriving their mandate to represent us. We elect our leaders not somebody just waking up and start claiming that he or she is representing the views of Malawians. These bastards have been given more space to manupulate Malawians and the latest victim has been the army.
WE all recall how Kunkuyu abducted himself and also Kamlepo did the same drama. HRDC are inflicting harm on themselves inorder to win cheap sympathy. Imagine the said homes that they are burning are old. Even the car that Ntambo burnt was an old stationery car. Just to show that this was staged, the ones who witness all this are able to count the number of attackers and keep the exact time of the attack. Just recently, they claimed somebody wanted to bomb them with a granand. Surprisingly without investigation they concluded that it was a hand granand and the person carrying it was a regime thug. They have even the audacity to desmiss the police who said this was just a hoax yet the police are trained .
HRDC has managed even to corrupt the international community and tell them lies and without verying or investigating they rush to blame our government. Malawi believes in the rule of law not mob justice. The demand for Jane Ansah to resign is a clear example of mob justice. The rule of law says that one is presumed innocent unless a court of law find him or her guilty after evidence is presented. Ansah has not been heard yet HRDC has found her guilty because she did not pronounce Chakwera or Chilima as winners. If HRDC has evidence against MEC, let them present it in court. Above all if she will be found guilty then all her pronouncements in the past elections should be declared null and void including those of MPs and councillors. It is the same MEC that run the elections.
Malawians comment with wisdom. You cannot call each other bastards.
Where are the values of integrity gone, dear Malawians? God is the only rightifull judge because He is Holly and Righteous. I don’t know how God feels about you with such words. The mind and the tongue are very dangerous if not led properly.
Please Malawians debate wisely. Show the world why you are different.
Are you real? Have you seen the names that your people call Muthariaka? Your comment just shows you aren’t wise either. Be reasonable if you want to be respected.
And you, who are you speaking for? And if you claim that people should be presumed innocent until proved guilty, why do police arrest suspect and lock them? Why are people who are suspected of doing something at their place of work interdicted while investigations are underway. Jane Ansah is a suspect.
This is Jane Ansah’s writing; Let us all be truthful, in all fairness what does Chilima’s 1.1 plus Chakwera’s 1.7 against APM’s 1.9? Does it guarantee APM to spit all this vernom!
you said it right that they arrest suspects.. but once arrested they take them to court with evidence. Has GRDC done that with Ansah after suspecting her of mismanaging the elections. Get the drift my man.
Iwe mtambo you are stupid. You think Malawians are so stupid kuti akuphe munthu wamisala ngati iwe? Munthu wamisala zachitika mankhwala. You are stupid. Kk and co are following your demands deliberately ndicholinga chakuti amuna kuti you are fit or not to hold an office. Otherwise ukangodziwika kuti mutu suyenda Esther’s pompo. Kodi a Malawi somungapite naye ku India uyu for some mental tests? Please anima katundu uyu muonetsetseni bwino bwino. You may be dealing with a bunch of mad people.
Just wondering between you and Mtambo who needs mental status examination? Apart from your emotional and biased outbursts what sane thing have you posted above? Who told you the nonsense of taking every disease to India…even mental status examination? You pass for a village idiot!!
Judging from your narrow minded. Perhaps you need the metal tests more than he does KKKKK Zomba is okay for you I don’t even think you could afford India at-least he could more well wishers are on his!!
