Demonstrations to force the Director General of the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) Martha Chizuma out office which were scheduled to take place today have been moved to Monday next week.
Billy Malata a member and one of the organizers of the Anti-Chizuma demonstrations under the banner Mzika Zokhudzidwa has confirmed of the development.
According to Malata, the postponement of the demonstrations is due to President Lazarus Chakwera’s trip to Luanar this morning.
“Yesterday, we had a meeting with the Lilongwe District Council and the Malawi Police was also present, so considering the President’s trip to Luanar, we agreed that we move the demos to next week. This has been done for security reasons.” Said Malata.
According to Malata the demonstrations have not been cancelled but only moved to Monday next week.
The grouping wants ACB Director Martha Chizuma fired with immediate effect for violating her oath of office in the leaked telephone conversation.
The group was today planning to present their petition at Parliament through Public Appointments Committee (PAC) and another petition to the office of the President to remove Chizuma
