Government Spokesperson Moses Kunkuyu has trashed a letter from the opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) to the worldwide neighborhood accusing the governing Malawi Congress Party (MCP) of “dismantling democratic structures and establishing a police state”.

On Wednesday, DPP Secretary General Peter Mukhito lamented that it was ” more and more alarming that senior opposition members and Members of Parliament are dealing with politically motivated arrests, even whereas the legislation offers specific protections for them throughout parliamentary committee conferences”.

In response, Kunkuyu mentioned DPP was merely looking for consideration from the donor neighborhood.

“We will wait to see which international partner would stoop so low as to condone lawlessness and grant immunity to individuals, placing them above the law, to extend that they cannot be suspects, let alone prosecuted for wrong doing, simply because they hold or have once held political positions,” Kunkuyu mentioned.

Mukhito’s letter was addressed to Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, African Union, United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, and European External Action Services.

He additionally been prolonged it to Ambassadors of Britain, Germany, United States European Union and Norway.
