HRDC wants Msukwa out, proposes establishment of Financial Crimes Court to expedite case

January 12, 2022 Nyasa Times Reporter 3 Comments

Firebrand Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) has asked President Lazarus Chakwera administration to immediately relieve positions of top gurus who have been implicated in corrupt practices.

Gift Trapence: Expedite the case

HRDC’s statement is apparent reference to Labour Minister Kezzie Msukwa who, beside being arrested on corruption allegations and is on bail, is still serving as a cabinet minister.

Through its chairperson Gift Trapence, HRDC has also called on government to facilitate the establishment of the Financial Crimes Court that will dedicate its time and resources to dealing with cases of public resources abuse and corruption with speed.

“We call upon the prosecuting agencies not to apply selective justice regardless of the status of suspects,” said Trapence.

He further called for better collaboration between the offices of the DPP, AG and ACB so that there is a seamless and more concerted approach to prosecuting high-level corruption cases.

  2. Paramount in matters of such a magnitude, those alleged to have committed misdemeanours voluntarily step aside to allow an independent and free flowing investigation into whatever is the contentious issue. If the involved persons are not will to do so then those who wield and are invested with the authority, may temporarily suspend the alleged persons. But if it takes feet dragging in order give directives you then invite speculations from the general public. Mind you, stepping down/suspensions are just a means to an effective, impartial free flowing fact finding measures. Those are merely processes whereby if the allegations are unfounded the people involved will get back into their offices. A minister therefore will be advised, directed and disciplined by the head of state, hence this plea goes to President Chakwera being the person in charge of the actions as mentioned herein to take necessary action.

  3. HRDC lost it’s relevance.Whatever is said by this CSO i don’t take it seriously. Keep enjoying the fruits of your labour in Tonse Mr Trapence.
