I will reserve my congratulations on the appointment of MEC commissioners by our good old professor . I do not have personal grudges against these people but running MEC is different from sitting on other public institutions as board chairpersons or members. I know Mr. Moffat Banda, he is the chairman of MBC. MBC is refusing to change under his chairmanship and it is moving from better to worse, no wonder people are calling it DPP mouth piece. Prior to that position, he was one of mizwanya or mizozodo during the Bingu era, a program he hosted along with Mr… Read more »

Hahahahaha some people are not ashamed of revealing what they are. Why are you hiding those other names while not hesitating in mentioning Mathanga and Moffat Banda? Don’t forget that DPP also submitted to the president its own proposed candidates for the position of commissioner. What I don’t understand is that people who are not happy with DPP’s commissioners at MEC are not DPP supporters. Maybe this is the right time to assess the quality of PP and MCP commissioners at MEC. Evaluate them as whether they will help your parties or not. As for us, we are satisfied with… Read more »

Some wild views on the new MEC: 1. Ms. Jean Mathanga. DPP + MULAKHO 2. Rev. Clifford Baloyi. DPP + LIVINGSTONIA 3. Mr. Moffat Banda. DPP (of Mizwanya fame) 4. Ms. Elvey Mtafu. UDF + MULAKHO 5. Ms. Mary Nkosi. DPP + MULAKHO 6. Ms. Linda Kunje. PP + MULAKHO 7. Mr. Yahaya M’madi. UDF + MUSLIM 8. Rev. Killion Mgawi. MCP + NKHOMA In addition to political party affiliations I still see tribal and familial connections as reasons behind the appointments. Mathanga is a staunch DPP and Mulakho member. Mary Nkosi (nee Masiku) and Linda Kunje are both from… Read more »

You clearly avoid the obvious in your argument i.e. that the commissioners were as a result of nominations from the parties. Kunje is obviously MCP and was most likely nominated by the MCP. Ntafu was nominated by the UDF, Mkosi was nominated by PP, Clifford Baloyi was also nominated by the PP. Why are you accusing the President when the people he has included in MEC were nominated by their respective parties. Why did you not condemn the parties that made the nominations? Tribalism in you is written all over. You think you are exposing tribalism in the appointing authority… Read more »

Thanks Chilungamo, I get pissed off with this man. These people were nominated by their parties not Muhlakho, leave us alone go to Chakwera and tell him he did not nominate a chewa. Thus why you will continually lose!
