Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Former governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has expressed concern with what it has termed as a spate and increase in the violence, terror and total breakdown of security in Malawi.<\/p>\n

The party, in a statement signed by its spokesperson Shadric Namalomba, said Malawians are now living in fear because of the unprecedented rise in murders, cold blood killings, robberies, attacks and assaults \u201chappening under the watch of President Chakwera and his MCP dominated Tonse Alliance\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe issue this statement to say NO to this violence, and we condemn Chakwera\u2019s indifference to the suffering of people and businesses. These sad events, recent attacks and terror activities, are targeting ordinary persons, homes, businesses, motorists, while women and children have also increasingly sadly fallen victim. We have witnessed incidences and received reports that both urban and rural people are living in fear,\u201d said Namalomba in a statement.<\/p>\n

He claimed that under the Tonse Alliance administration, the country has witnessed an increase in cases of armed robberies, carjacking, break-ins, and even politically motivated violence.<\/p>\n

He said the incidents have created a sense of fear and unease among the citizens, adversely impacting their daily lives and economic activities. Malawi has turned into a lawless state.<\/p>\n

\u201cLiving and staying in Malawi is becoming dangerous. Sadly, the government seems to be turning a blind eye. This has forced Malawians to resort to mob justice, which can be attributed to several underlying factors.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirstly, the citizens\u2019 lack of confidence in the formal justice system. Malawi faces institutional challenges, such as a lack of judicial resources, corruption, and delays in the court processes, leading many individuals to believe that taking matters into their own hands is the only way to achieve justice swiftly,\u201d reads the Namalomba\u2019s statement.<\/p>\n

He warned that the consequences of these security lapses in the country could be far-reaching and multifaceted, highlighting that they have the potential to harm the social fabric of the nation by instilling fear and undermining citizens\u2019 trust in their government\u2019s ability to protect them.<\/p>\n

Namalomba has since called upon the government to ensure that responsible individuals be brought to justice without selectivity.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe DPP calls upon law enforcement agencies to prioritize their investigation efforts to ensure swift and thorough action. Strong cooperation among the police, judiciary, and other relevant authorities must prevail, fostering an environment where criminals are held accountable and public faith in the justice system is restored,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
