Naked albino protest: Bright Malopa hits back at Kalindo

Former Advisor to President Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika on communication and strategy, Bright Malopa has asked Mulanje South Member of Parliament Bon Kalindo to use his privilege to introduce a private motion to amend or introduce practical measures that see people living with albinism feel protected.

Malopa’s call comes barely hours after the two exchanges words over the proposal to have those people found killing albinos in the country subjected to death sentence.

Former Malawi Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) said death sentence is already in the law of Malawi and Kalindo is clueless on what the laws stipulate.

The remarks angered Kalindo who retaliated harshly, saying his fight is for albinos and poor Malawians not rich People like Malopa who is protected by Police officers at State House.

Writing on his official facebook page, Malopa asked Kalindo to stop dramatizing the issue.

“The scene resulting from hon members walking naked for whatever reason will in my mind generate a wrong debate altogether.

“The shapes and sizes or how large or small of protestor’s endowments is what is going to form the debate and not necessarily the means to stop the vice. The matter is very serious and approaches to fight it must not be dramatised. It is a matter of life and death to fellow Malawians. If people in particular members of parliament feel strongly that the current laws are failing to address this dehumanising trade,the best is to tighten the prevailing laws,” said Malopa.

He added: “Let Hon. Kalindo use his parliamentary privilege to introduce a private motion to amend or introduce practical measures that see people living with albinisim feel protected,loved and appreciated in the country of their birth.We as a people have a collective responsibility to prevent the next murder of people living with Albinism from happening. We don’t need to bring drama into what is already a tense and serious situation to many.”

Meanwhile Kalindo has released the dates for the demonstrations, saying it will be held on June 23 in the capital Lilongwe.
