The Mayor of the City of Lilongwe, His Worship Desmond Bikoko, has recently appointed a 7 man advisory committee comprising of a Malawian, an Indian, a Nigerian, a Chinese, two Rwandese, and a Burundian. While we all look forward to improving the standards of Lilongwe, we find this appointment wrong on many levels. Not only has the Mayor frowned upon the Councillors by instituting a parallel structure, he has also not been transparent with the credentials and roles of the people appointed in his committee. The justification of having the numbers of advisors as presented has, also, not been provided. In addition, the scope of work and mandate for these individuals remains hazy, undisclosed and even non-existent. How the advisory committee will work with the mayor, the council and the city executive remains unknown, and has not been negotiated with the public that elected the mayor and his councillors. As citizens of Lilongwe, we refuse anything to be done in our name without our knowledge and full disclosure from the leaders we elected. Until such a time when our grievances are addressed, we petition the Mayor of the City of Lilongwe to immediately and unconditionally rescind the appointment of this committe
We the undersigned to this petition, call on Mayor Desmond Williams Bikoko to rescind the appointment of his advisory committee, not in the least with its current composition.
