More support for Winiko’s nude protest: Kamlepo to welcome protestors at Parliament
All is falling into place for the 23 June nude protest that will be led by comedian and Member of Parliament for Mulanje South Bon Winiko Kalindo that is meant at forcing Parliament to force President Peter Mutharika to be signing for the death of murderers of people with albinism.
The parade which has gotten a go-ahead from the Lilongwe City Council and the Police has gotten another boost with the news that Member of Parliament for Rumphi East Kamlepo Kalua will welcome the naked petitioners at Parliament.
However, it is not known if Kalua will welcome Winiko’s nude protest while in his birth suit as well but the indications are that he will be in his suit, not the birth suit of course.
Information that Malawi24 has indicates that Kamlepo who has been labelled controversial most of the times has agreed with the petitioners to act as a link between them and Parliament.
A social commentator Felix Unyolo said the appearance of Kamlepo adds more drama to the protest.
“In one angle, it is a good thing but on the other it is not a good thing. It is as if this whole episode is drama and comedy. The calibre of the MPs that are taking this thing seriously is really questionable. However, that it can finally bring the ruling side and the opposition in one place is a good thing,” he said.
Winiko is an MP on a DPP ticket while Kamlepo is for the opposition Peoples’ Party. The two MPs have also had personal differences in Parliament at some time.

Kamlepo to make a fool out of his fellow Parliamentarian &protestors. If @all he was welcoming them in good faith, he is supposed to be part of them but he will hijack the event for his personal interest & the party he serves.
Protest noble stripping not so noble
kkkk tiwone zosadulidwa zonakalambaaa zamisepha zomwe akadule mulungu ndichikwanje, hhhhh inephe kumajambula pasikulo
I think Winiko chamba ndi kadansana anaziyamba akanali wachichepele. Ka umagwila bwinobwino mutu wake nkulu ameneyi? Kaya zako zikakukanika anthu azakuseka
Tym basi chinga ananena kale kuti ndizaulula just wait tym ikwana wina azaziwika after 2019
Winiko avule baasiii
The death penalty is already enshrined in the laws of Malawi meaning parliament already passed it. The problem as I see it is the President is not willing to sign for it even if the judiciary prescribe such a punishment to the offender. That is why I keep saying the nude match should have been directed to State House and not parliament. The right person to recieve that petition should have been the President himself and not somebody on his behalf.
To say parliament should force APM to consent is just a waste of time taking into account how stubborn a president he is. And the Hon Kaliati has said it all, Malawi will not excute any offender for fear of a backlash from international human right organisations. That should have given clue to the Hon. Kalindo that his nude protest is directed at the wrong party. I am sure that even members of the august house are not amused that some of the laws that are there are not followed to the book. I wonder if there is a provision for parliament to force the head of state into action on an issue.
Bon Kalindo is not an ordinary MP. He is also deputy spokesman for DPP which is the ruling party whose president is APM who is refusing to sign for excutions. It can be safely deduced that Winiko has deliberately avoided to match naked straight to his boss for fear of reprisals.
I will wait to see the outcome of this historic misdirected demonstration in our land.
