President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera has instructed the Commission of Inquiry into the plane crash which claimed the life of former Vice President Dr. Saulos Chilima and 8 others to share the report with the family members.
Chakwera said this after officially receiving the report from the commission at Kamuzu Palace in Lilongwe yesterday.
“The Commission of Inquiry instituted to establish events around the June 10 plane accident has finally submitted its final report to my office today.
“I have since instructed the Commission to present hard copies of the report to all bereaved families by close of business tomorrow, followed by a wider reach to the entire nation next Monday,” said Chakwera.
He added: “Let me express deep gratitude to the Commission for carrying out its work with the dedication and honour this noble task deserved.
“The work you have done has exposed you to a lot of misunderstanding and abuse, not only because you have been investigating a politically sensitive subject that some will inevitably see as an occasion for political theatre, but also because the nation’s wounds from the tragedy have not yet fully healed.
“But as mature citizens of Malawi entrusted with this enormous duty, I fully trust that you will not take those attacks to heart.”
The commission released the report to Malawians on Saturday, December 14 2024.
