A Malawi Congress Party (MCP) diehard of Mvera in Dowa district Mr. Rodgers Kamphangala, has questioned government’s motive of wanting to discuss with the people of Kasasire, relocation or compensations?
Kamphangala said the court in Mzuzu delivered its ruling in favour of the people of Kasasire and that they should assess the damage caused by the relocation from their ancestral land to temporary shelters at a CCAP Church of Livingstonia.
He has thanked displaced people of Kasasire for insisting that the discussions be held next Tuesday at Kasasire saying this will help government leaders to appreciate the pain and sufferings these people have and had sailed through with memories from the beatings by MDF soldiers.
The MCP diehard said he supports the good reasons by the displaced people of Kasasire to start their journey walking on foot to Lilongwe to meet President Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika for a help so that they can see a change in their everyday life situations.Kasasile people demands K150 billion compensation for damages
The displaced people of Kasasire on Friday spent a night at Jenda CCAP Church in Mzimba district where they were stopped by police not to proceed on their journey to Lilongwe saying Minister of Lands, Housing and Urban Development Chimwemwe Chipungu and Deputy Minister for Homeland Security Norman Paulosi Chisale will hold with them discussions.
Political activist Bon Kalindo appealed to trucks moving along the M1 Road to Lilongwe to pick up these people to fulfill their intention of meeting President Professor Mutharika in claiming that the 10 months of the DPP in government, has seen no politician visiting the Kasasire people in northern Nkhatabay district.
In the audio clip, Kalindo expressed fears that these people comprising of women carrying babies on their backs, children and the elderly people will not arrive in Lilongwe alive claiming that many will die along the road and this will destroy the good image of the DPP led government.

Activist JB of the United States of America (USA) and his friends mobilized bags of maize flour which were shipped to Malawi for distribution to the displaced people of Kasasire by the Malawi First Rights Movement by Bon Kalindo and his crew members.
Speaking to the displaced people of Kasasire in Nkhatabay, Kalindo accused the government of the MCP under President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera of doing nothing only watching the people of Kasasire suffering as if they are not in Malawi.
