Meanwhile, the council has assured citizens that the Malawi Police Service will provide required security, maintain peace and order and ensure strict observance of the law during the protests.

“All parties concerned shall duly communicate these resolutions to everyone involved in the implementation of the planned demonstrations and that these resolutions shall be binding to all parties concerned,” reads part of the statement.

  3. Kodi inu ma CSOs mumandidabwitsa-akakudyetsani ma banzi mumasintha mawanga so my question is kodi which impunity are you trying to end? n why do you play double standards sometimes?

  4. I thought you will be demanding electricity? We have the ATI law so why asking for transparency? You fools, there are more important issues that you must ask for. I am not a partisan but a Malawian and I could have supported you if you were asking for the removal of the ESCOM chief Executive Officer and ESCOM chief engineer.
