Speaking with reporters, Trapence said people have been spreading rumours that the organisation has stopped working due to resignation of its chairperson Timothy Mtambo.
“We will not be conducting demonstrations until conoranavirus end because as human rights defenders people’s health become our first priority,” he said.
The grouping’s chairperson went on to say that people in the country should continue working with the organization in fighting and building a better Malawi.
He also reminded Executive Director for Anti -Corruption Bureau (ACB) Reyneck Matemba to arrest people who attempted to bribe judges presiding over the presidential election case.
According to Trapence, HRDC will be back in the streets demanding justice on the issue if the suspects are not arrested.
