If you ask him, he is not just angry with the continued attacks on people living with albinism, he also believes his private parts have a role to play in ending the attacks which the Mulanje South Member of Parliament, Bon Kalindo says are painting a bad image of Malawi.

Kalindo, a comedian better known by the stage name Winiko says his naked protest will come when Parliament fails to agree that people who attack albinos be killed.

‘’My friends and I will walk naked. Am not mad at all. My walking naked will show my anger’’ he said.

Bon Kalindo belives his naked protest will play a role in the ending attacks on albinos.

On whether the protest will portray him as a mad man the vocal lawmaker says ‘Then let doctors come check whether am mad or not. Where is Malawi heading to?.”

The legislator says he will be naked on the gates to parliament and will walk in the Lilongwe city, just in a bid to push his fellow parliamentarians to agree that albino attackers be killed.

He wonders why government has been coy on roping in the capital punishment for the attackers.

Over 18 murder cases have been reported and 14 cases involving kidnapping of albinos are in the records and that three people with albinism are still missing while 28 graveyards of people with albinism have been tampered with in different circumstances, a report government presented in parliament recently revealed.

At the moment, a court in Mzuzu has granted an order banning the traditional doctors who are widely believed to be one of the reasons for the increase of albino attacks.
