The Malawi Government has insisted that it will not reintroduce death sentence despite calls by different individuals and other non-governmental organizations to implement the penalty on all albino killers.

Government’s spokesperson Patricia Kaliati said that it is impossible to start using the death penalty now although there is increased cases of albinos being killed.

She said one day President Peter Mutharika will be out of his position and they don’t want to see him being questioned by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for approving death penalty.

Kaliati who is also minister of Information Communication Technology and Civic Education claimed that there is no president in the world who has implemented the death sentence hence there is no need to start using it in Malawi.

“There is no president who has implemented the death penalty. There are a number of things which we can do to get rid of these killings and we feel it is better to implement the life imprisonment than death penalty,” said Kaliati.

The spokesperson further said that they are happy with the life imprisonment sentence which is so far the most painful sentence to people found guilty of killing people with albinos.

She then disclosed that government has selected some specific prosecutors and judges to be hearing cases of crimes against people with albinism.

Earlier this month, the Mzuzu High Court sentenced Samson Kaomba to life imprisonment with hard labour for being found guilty of killing a person with albinism.

There was a demo today in Lilongwe-where a call to government to consider adopting death penalty on albino attackers.

  1. PILATE ASKED THE JEWS, ‘WHOM SHOULD I SET YOU FREE?’ THE JEWS REPLIED, ‘YOU SHOULD FREE BARABAS, AND HAVE JESUS KILLED.’ THAT IS WHAT PEOPLE OF TODAY ARE READY TO DO. TO SET CRIMINALS FREE AND KILL THE INNOCENT. IT IS NOT A QUESTION OF FORGIVENESS HERE. THIS IS A GOVERNMENT ISSUE. AND IF WE BELIEVE IN GOD, THE BIBLE STATES THAT EVERY GOVERNMENT OR ANY INSTITUTION OF AUTHORITY IS IN PLACE BY THE WILL OF GOD SO THAT IT HAS TO PUNISH WRONGDOERS AND REWARD THE GOOD DOERS. THEREFORE, THE DEATH IS NOT AT ALL COST AGAINST THE WILL OF GOD.

  2. IT IS A LIE THAT NO COUNTRY IMPLEMENTS THE DEATH PENALTY. GO TO BOTSWANA AND CHINA, IT IS THERE. WE ARE REJECTING THE DEATH PENALTY OVER ALBINO KILLINGS BECAUSE WE REGARD OURSELVES AS HUMANS AND ALBINOS AS CHICKENS. TO PUNISH SOMEBODY FOR A DESERVEABLE CRIME IS NOT SATANIC BUT GODLY. BUT TO SET CRIMINALS FREE IS SATANIC. GOD IS JUST AND THEREFORE HE SHALL PUNISH THE UNJUST. IF MALAWI IS A GOD-FEARING NATION, THE DEATH PENALTY SHOULD COME IN.

Popeza boma likukayika za “diso kulipa diso “ndawona kuti boma limakhala kutali ndikomwe ma albinowa amakhala,pachifukwa icho boma silimva ululu anzathuwa akamaphedwa ngati chicken.Chofunika apa ndichoti achibale amunthu wophedwayo azipatsidwa mphamvu yoganiza zochita ndizigawengazo popeza ndiwo eni wake amunthu wophedwayo.

  4. Nomally I can say that its realy painful to be killed but the president also he can not judge the killer to be killed because God is the only one who will judge you even the president too so let’s leave it in the hands of our Holly Father

    1. MY FRIEND THE PRESIDENT IS NOT GOING TO PLAY THE ROLE OF JUDGE. WHAT JUDGES A PERSON IS THE BOOK OF LAW AND NEITHER THE PRESIDENT NOR ANY COURT JUDGE. DO YOU MEAN THAT CRIMINALS SHOULD NOT BE BROUGHT TO BOOK? THEN YOU SHOULD ALSO TELL THE PRESIDENT TO DESTROY ALL PRISONS.
