In a statement dated October 7,2022 and addressed Lilongwe District Commissioner (DC), Maravi Post has in possession, the group alleges that the awarding of the contract in question did not follow procedures.<\/p>\n

But when contacted, the group\u2019s leader Agape Khombe refused to share more details regarding the allegation saying they will make the information public on Tuesday October 11, 2022 based on evidence they have gathered.<\/p>\n

While Lilongwe DC Lawford Palani confirmed of receiving the notification for the planned demonstrations. \u201cWe will hold a stakeholders meeting and guide them accordingly,\u201d said Palani.<\/p>\n
