Political activist Bon Kalindo, has called on parliamentarians to pass a deliberate that will see the rich and politicians not entering the prison corridors claiming that as the writings are on the wall, prisons were built for the poor people.
Kalindo said the poor people, those who have no money to buy justice are the ones who are being sent to prison unlike the rich and politicians who use money to buy for themselves competent lawyers to represent them in court to walk to freedom.
He said visiting the country’s prisons, one may shed tears down the cheeks that why these poor people are languishing for the minor offences they committed while the rich and politicians are being left to swing outside prisons?
Speaking through an audio clip, Kalindo has observed that the country takes poor people as useless in the society saying this is why they are rotting in the country’s prisons but the country values most the poor people to go and vote for leaders of their choice.
Kalindo has observed that two High Court Judges Mzonde Mvula and Kenyatta Nyirenda have released MCP Secretary General Richard Chimwendo Banda unconditionally for the attempted murder charges he was answering in court.
He said the two court Judges granted an injunction to Chimwendo Banda from further be arrested by Police and if he has a case, he should be invited to court by means of a summon speaking for itself that money has bought him freedom not justice.
“Where is the country going with its laws up to an extent of pointing that this one should not be arrested?” questioned Kalindo.
In the audio clip, Kalindo has thanked Deputy Minister of Homeland Security Norman Paulosi Chisale for visiting and appreciating how poor people are being abused by Immigration officers after taking their money as bribes for passports which do not come to them.
Kalindo said Chisale heard for himself the cries of the poor people that some people paid bribes for speedy processing of their passports and it has taken one year nothing, while the rich and politicians, when they go, the passport are printed straight away. r
He has called on Chisale to make sure that those who swindled money for the poor people and have failed to print passports to be fired from the Immigration offices expressing hope that Norman Chisale’s visit to the Immigration offices in Lilongwe will bear fruits.
“When Chisale was appointed to the position he is, people talked and talked of him, today, he is doing a commendable job standing together with those that are crying, this is the type of ministers Malawians wants,” said Kalindo
