The Human Rights Consultative Committee (HRCC) has called out government for failure to give K30 million to relations of the victims of the July 20 2011 demonstrations.

Government has been failing to comply with a court order to compensate the victims.

Speaking to the local press, HRCC chairperson Robert Mkwezalamba said failure to comply with court orders means government takes the role of the judiciary in the country for granted.

Peter Mutharika: Has come under fire.

“By failing to implement issues of the judiciary it shows no respect and no regards to the role of the judiciary and in other way we can say court orders are as good as useless,” said Mkwezalamba.

He called on the executive arm of the government to respect decisions made by the judiciary arguing no one should be seen to be defying the constitution.

However, Attorney General Kalekeni Kaphale said the treasury looks at procedures in handling court orders.

“Whenever there is judgment, we inform the treasury and it serves the one who comes first and it cannot just pay fresh debts,” said Kaphale.

But some quarters believe government is failing to implement the court order due to economic hardships that the country is currently facing.

  12. The Human rights body leaders must pay this amount not government as you were the ones who organised the demonstrations together with MCP then leader John Zenus Ungapake Tembo.As a concern citizen,am behind the government for not giving then that money.I would advise the Govn.to buy food for the starving people across the country.

    4. The demonstration were peaceful,it doesn’t matter who was the leader of the demos.but the truth is people were killed by the government for expressing their dissatisfaction with the previous administration there for the government must pay

    5. There were not peaceful brother,i was at Lilongwe Area 49 Proper where some two protesters were shot dead because they were throwing Stone at police.And again at Area 25 Msungwi,it was a worst situation brother where some guys took advantage by breaking the Chipiku shop there and took stuffs.All these am talking i saw with my naked eyes,so was that a peaceful demonstrations,Mr Matumbi???

    7. Government job is to protect it’s citizens.,bringing order and educate. There’s is no chapter in our constitution where it says the government must kill the people if they are demonstrating. Be it violent or peaceful. #Watch this space government will pay for killing it’s people,no matter how long but it will compensate the families.Democracy is not autocracy. In a democratic country people is power. And the president’ is well aware of that
