I know that some government officials are conspiring to remove the Director, Martha Chizuma. As Leader of Opposition in Parliament, I will not allow that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am throwing my weight behind Martha Chizuma so that she remains the ACB Director and she should be allowed to successfully deliver,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Nankhumwa also spoke against a tendency of frustrating demonstrations through threats and abductions to organizers and he has since urged president Chakwera to let people exercise their constitutional right.<\/p>\n<p>He added that it is strange that the Tonse government is blocking people from demonstrations when at the same time the Tonse got into power following similar demonstrations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTonse government got into power through demonstrations, so they should not block people from demonstrating. This tendency of giving people panga knives to deal with demonstrators, should immediately stop,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>About the state of affairs in Malawi, Nankhumwa reminded president Chakwera to be conscious of all his campaign promises saying people in the country are suffering.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/malawi\">Malawi<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Malawi.
