Chairman of the Malawi Human Rights Consultative Committee (HRCC) John Kapito recently told the local media that, the recent standoff at the university of Malawi, the president’s recent order for the withdrawal of sedition charges against controversial cleric Reverend Nyondo moderator of the Livingstonia synod and the governments rushing at civil rights activists critic to government shows that the Malawi government rocks in a spate of confusion.

The assertions come barely a few days after the opposition in Botswana refused to attend the opening ceremony of the country’s new Lobatse stadium where Malawian president professor Bingu Wa Mutharika was a guest of honour.

According to some Malawian nationals contacted through the social website the opposition in Botswana refused to attend the ceremony because of what they described as ‘Malawi’s poor human rights record’.

Mutharika has recently been heavily criticised the civil society in Malawi who are accusing him of turning his leadership into a dictatorship a development that government has described as baseless.

Mutharika recently ordered the youth wing of his ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) to deal with people opposed to his leadership style.

The development has since seen one of Malawi’s renowned Human Rights activists Undule Mwakasungula who has been criticised by government of promoting homosexuality receiving death threats.

According to an Africa news who was contacted by e-mail from the commercial city, the confusion in the incumbent administration has come following the endorsement of the presidents younger brother to run for presidency in the country’s 2014 parliamentary and Presidential Elections.

According to the source, all is not well with the executive arm in Malawi and it has since resorted into tactics that will silence its opponents in its quest to retain tenancy in government.

Mutharika recently ordered the closure of the country’s electoral body amid reports of gross misappropriation of funds however the president surprised Malawians over the week end by ordering its re opening.

The opposition has since described the move as one of the desperate tactics by government to rig the local polls scheduled for late this year.

In a related development students at Martin Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg in Germany Wednesday joined their Malawian counterparts in demonstrations demanding academic freedom in Malawi.

The solidarity protests that were supported by amnesty international among other things ask Mutharika to reinstate fired University of Malawi lecturers.
