Umodzi Party president John Chisi has called on President Peter Mutharika not to assent to the Customary Land bill which was passed in Parliament by a majority of DPP MPs on Thursday saying the legislation will cause controversy in the country.

Chisi told the local media that the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) led government has already caused havoc through Cashgate and now they want to cause more chaos.

“DPP government has understood already that they have cashgated and now they want to cashgate the land, I think these people know where the minerals are until we know the truth of this bill,” Chisi fumed.

He further said the bill is meant for the Malawians to suffer since their own government will be stealing from them. “If Mutharika assent that means he has deliberately sent those people to steal more from us, cashgate is enough please don’t finish us for everything, give us time to breath, we gave you that power to love us not to make us slaves, at some point you should stop because you are going too far,” he explained. In his words chairperson of the Natural Resources Committee in Parliament Welani Chilenga said the bill will cause more confusions. He said: “This will end up with people losing their land, instead of solving the problem, it will end up creating more confusions” Chilenga said.
