Senior Governance and Human Rights Advocate Undule Mwakasungula, has issued a statement urging Malawians to remain patient and united as the investigation into the tragic plane crash that killed Vice President Saulosi Chilima and eight others continues.

Mwakasungula welcomes the release of the interim report by the German Federal Bureau of Aircraft Accident Investigation (BFU) but cautioned against making premature conclusions and speculations.
