Despite 2nd July`s poorly attended protests, some civil society organisations’ (CSOs) leaders have again organised another demonstration on 7th July 2015 to demand action from President Peter Mutharika’s administration on what they call delayed justice on abuse of public funds.

During Thursday’s demonstrations, the CSOs presented a petition to government and the country’s two mobile phone operators against exorbitant rates and poor telecommunication services.

But the activity was poorly attended with law enforcers outnumbering the protesters.

In an interview yesterday, Dzonzi, who is also executive director of Justice Link, observed that repeated protests may lose impact.

Said Dzonzi: “Everything that is repeatedly done loses its impact every new time you do it. So, if there is a culture of continuous demonstrations, the civil society will continuously be losing the impact of the demonstrations because people will begin to get used to it.”

Dzonzi advised the CSOs leaders to develop other levels of engagement so that demonstrations should just be used as escalating or leveraging factors to avoid members of the public and duty bearers forgetting the core issues being presented.

This will be the fourth time this year for CSOs to hold protests, after doing so in January, May and last Thursday on different issues.
