Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has demanded that the Lazarus Chakwera administration release the complete investigative report into the tragic plane crash that claimed the life of Vice President Saulos Klaus Chilima and eight other Malawians.
“The people of Malawi deserve to know the truth about the circumstances surrounding this tragic incident,” said Shadric Namalomba, DPP spokesperson.
“We are appalled by the government’s failure to keep the public informed, particularly in matters that directly impact the nation’s leadership and stability.”
DPP’s demand comes after a German journalist revealed that the cause of the crash had been determined and the report presented, but the government failed to make it public.
“It is unacceptable that crucial details regarding a matter of great national importance and public interest were kept from the citizens of Malawi,” Namalomba said.
“This lack of transparency only fuels suspicion and undermines the public’s trust in the government’s commitment to accountability.”
The DPP is also seeking an explanation for why the information was withheld and a review of the processes that led to the lack of transparency.
“We urge all Malawians to join us in calling for the MCP government to do what is right and necessary to restore public trust and confidence in our nation’s leadership,” Namalomba said.
The DPP maintains that the tragic loss of Chilima and eight others will not heal until the full truth is known and justice is served.
