Rights activists are calling on President Lazarus Chakwera to use the law to deal with the perpetrators of K6.2 billion Covid-19 response funds from Treasury amid a public outcry.

The Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) has since asked Chakwera not to shield culprits in the abuse of K6.2 billion Covid-19 funds.
HRDC has made the call after President Chakwera’s call to auditing institutions to expedite the process of making the audit report public.
According to the statement signed by the HRDC chairperson Gift Trapence and the coalition’s leadership, all individuals involved in the abuse of the funds must face the law regardless as expected.
