“Let’s joine hands to build a better Malawi with tangible development for the betterment of the next generation as the DPP led government is there to take Malawi into next level of development”

However one of the renown feminist rights defenders, Emily Mkamanga has condemned the women demonstration organised by a group of women calling themselves Friends of Jane Ansah.
Mkamanga said that it is very unfortunate that women can still be abused by some selfish leaders from the elite society.

“It is very unfortunate that women could be ferried from.different parts of the country but only to march for a very few selfish people from the elite society when there are so many women who are dying in silence,” Mkamanga said.

Meanwhile the Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) has set next week Tuesday and Friday as the days for the vigils calling for the resignation of the MEC chairperson.
