Catholic bishop blasts Malawi spy body for failure to detect albino bones market

The leader of the influential Catholic Church in Malawi  has taken a swipe at state intelligence body for failing to detect a market for bones of people with albinism which has ignited a wave of ritual murders  of the people.

Archbishop Msusa: State spies could have helped to get albino bones market

His Grace Bishop Thomas Luke Msusa doubted the performance of the National Intelligence Bureau, its role as a tax payer funded intelligence body.

“The intelligence officers and the police could have identified the market for the bones in order to end the killings of the people with albinism,” said His Grace Bishop Msusa.

”This would have helped to bust the syndicate or the traders of the bones. They would have identified the market long ago,” added Bishop Msusa.

He described the officers of the State spy agency  and the police of lacking professionalism and patriotism for the country.

Msusa said this at Luchenza in Thyolo when Catholic Women Association planted trees with funding from the National Bank of Malawi.

The Bishop  thanked the women for the tree planting initiative which he said was good to bring back the fast going vegetation which is a cause for the current climate change.

Bishop there is no market ,these are periodically incidences .Those who were born in 1940 or 50s will follow these correctly.There havebeen beliefs on speculations since old times .Albino is now a current incidence .in 70s people could be kiled on belief of blood being sold to Red Cross.Then baby placetaes,then balded heads ,then human body parts,The sandawana,then old coins ,human teen! White man heir etc.All years you get such things as fastest method of getting money

Bishops you are now trying to shield your albino killer Fr Muhosha by blaming Government? Shame on you hypocites. Its better that you continue supporting your UTM rather than pretending to be holly you devils.

The men and women in our intelligence services, are faceless unsung heroes, who work tiressly to ensure and protect our freedoms. Without them, we would not be able to enjoy the many freedoms that are enshrined in our Constitution.

I urge His Grace to visit them, encourage them, and pray for them, and with them. I have no doubt that they would appreciate and treasure such a visit.

My respects to His Grace.

I am not a Catholic nor do I intend to become one but I have a problem with the thinking of blaming the Catholic Church for what Father Muhosha did. A corporate church does not control the minds of its members or its ministers. Members and ministers are free will beings who can do what they want even if it is against the principles of the church. Blaming the church for the sins of a member or a minister is POOR thinking. We hear of sexual scandles involving govt ministers. Should we therefore conclude that the government advocates this behaviour.… Read more »

Don’t cheat us by saying you are not a Catholic. The way you are speaking shows you are one and ready to defend your fathers. When we say bad government, it is not the structure but the people running the government. This should give you a clear picture of what we are talking of Catholic involvement of the killing of Albinos

Sometimes I fail to understand when men of God choose to divert the minds of its people deliberately. I thought Bishop Msusa would have felt ashamed blaming other quarters on Albino killings when memories are still fresh that the Catholic Church is in the forefront using its Fathers/Bishops in the killing of Albinos. If I may ask you Bishop, Is Muhosha one of you in the church? If yes, is it possible for the nation to use you to sit down with your own father to tell the nation about the market? Bishop Msusa, you are better placed to tell… Read more »

The intelligence agencies here in Malawi are not motivated adadequately one they’re underpaid,two: they are frustrated by there counterparts the judiciary,three: they are mostly political appointees therefore the politicians pull the strings from a far,the police are not policed. They mostly fear the rich ,when the rich barons rremotely commit a crime the police fail to protect the whistle blower. We need to change our criminal law and enforcement procedures urgently. BY now the alubino killers already arrested should have been in jail instead the court cases drdrag as if the judiciary is being forced to preside over the cases.
