The minibus operators are accusing the government of delaying in addressing their grievances on the proliferation of illegal taxes in the country.

Chairperson of Minibus Owners Association of Malawi (MOAM) Felix Mbonekera confirmed o the staged sit-in.

Mbonekera said it is worrisome that the government has not treated their grievances with urgency it deserves.
