Malawi maintains that it will not impose death penalty for fear of human rights institutions
Malawi government has disclosed that it will not implement the death sentence in fear of humiliation by international human rights institutions that include the Amnesty International which is also in the forefront against the killing of people with albinism.
The development comes at a time when some stakeholders are calling for the maximum sentence to people found guilty of murder in the country.
The stakeholders argue that death sentence can help in putting down barbaric acts of killing people with albinism in the country
But government spokesperson Patricia Kaliati said Malawi has its signature on various human rights instruments that forbids death penalty.
Kaliati added the country wants to put itself away from criminal cases even though some citizens think death penalty will help stop the killings of people with albinism in Malawi.
One of the advocates for death sentence is Paramount Chief Lundu who said the maximum sentence will help in bringing peace to people with albinism in the country.
Meanwhile, Mulanje South Member of Parliament Elias Bon Kalindo is set to parade in his birthday suit to force government to have death sentence being practical in Malawi.
The nude parade has been scheduled to take place on June 23 in the capital Lilongwe to force lawmakers to reinstate death sentence.

Murder is a heinous crime. It is punishable by DEATH or LIFE IMPRISONMENT in Malawi as prescribed in the Penal Code. This means the courts in Malawi can legally sentence someone to death for homicide/murder whether the victim is an albino or not. In USA they Have it and they effect/implement it. HOWEVER, it should be noted that the Constitution of Malawi has a bill of Rights. Additionally, Malawi has signed several International legal Instruments some of which are binding. Malawi also ought to have regard to international norms and public international law. For these reasons, the government of Malawi is justifiably reluctant to implement the DEATH sentence. The problem is NOT our Courts Nor the President. The problem (if it is a problem )lies somewhere in our Constitution which guarantee human Rights or it is in the international legal instruments which Malawi is bound to follow.
