MALAWI: Government Orders Fresh Inquiry into Chikangawa Military Plane Crash
By Smile Hamilton
Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs Charles Mhango has announced that the government will institute a fresh inquiry into the Chikangawa military plane crash that claimed the life of former Vice President Saulos Klaus Chilima and eight others in June 2024.
Mhango made the announcement in Parliament while presenting a progress report on investigations into the accident, stating that earlier inquiries failed to provide conclusive answers regarding the cause of the tragedy.
“I wish to report that this august House has directed that a fresh inquiry and investigation be carried out into the accident that took place on 10th June 2024,” Mhango told lawmakers.
The minister said his review of reports produced by the Commission of Inquiry and Germany’s Federal Bureau of Aircraft Accident Investigation revealed gaps that undermined the credibility of the earlier f
indings.
