People's Voice Party demands a fresh investigation into the aircraft accident that killed former Vice President Saulos Chilima and eight others. Lawrence Mkuzi Banda addressed reporters in Lilongwe on Thursday, supporting the United Transformation Movement's similar request. The party leader stated Malawians deserve complete answers about the circumstances surrounding this tragedy. Previous inquiries into the June 10, 2024, incident near Chikangawa Forest left many questions unresolved.
Chilima traveled to attend former Attorney General Ralph Kasambara's funeral when the Malawi Defence Force plane crashed during poor weather conditions. Government reports blamed limited visibility, but opposition groups and civil society organizations question this explanation. Banda believes that a renewed examination would honor the victims while rebuilding public confidence in government institutions. Political analyst Thomas Chirwa considers this matter an early indicator of President Mutharika's commitment to transparency.
