Karonga business shutdown: Key government offices razed down

There could be no tangible business going on in the lakeshore district of Karonga after the burning down of key government agencies’ departments  in the districts following the Thursday nationwide protests.

The writing is in the placard
The demonstrations, orchestrated by the Human Defenders Coalition (HRDC), were goaled at ousting the present Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC)  chairperson, Jane Ansah, and her fellow commissioners for their shoddy show in managing the May 21 tripartite polls.
Ansah, a judge at Malawi Supreme Court, has refused to resign–arguing the matter is already in a constitutional court that is bonafide enough to determine her fate.
But on Thursday, in spite of the fact of HRDC chairperson urging protests participants to be nonviolent, protesters took to the streets to barricade important routes to the central business district.
Among others, the protesters razed down the district’s forestry, education, local government offices and national registration form.
They also looted the Karonga North West constituency’s water board branch–walking away with millions of unexplained wealth.

Malawi is already a state languishing at the deep sea bed of poverty and we are behaving like we don’t know. Those organizing marches should take responsibility. I also feel that may Jane Ansah should do the right thing and resign whether she feels hard done by is irrelevant at this point, the writing is on the wall that people are not happy with her. It’s that simple

It’s time now to arrest Mtambo and Co.
They have to take responsibility for inciting. oChakwera and HARDtalk Chilima should be next, if they continue on their unadvised path to anarchy.
We need our Police to stand up to these thugs and malova.

It’s a pity some Malawians are celebrating these chaos associated with exercise of the constitional rights. Honestly if exercising one’s rights infringes other people’s right to peace and security then it’s fair to put that to a stop by lethal force if necessary.
