The Centre for Democracy and Economic Development Initiatives (CDEDI) has asked the speaker of parliament Catherine Gotani Hara to institute a joint parliamentary committee to investigate circumstances surrounding the abduction of 26-year old British National Muhammad Kasiman in July this year.
Kasiman was abducted in Lilongwe by unknown abductors in the capital Lilongwe last month.
