Lucifer's Sister Is Here! She Paid Us Small!

Lucifer the Arch-Devil must be a very happy "Evil Angel" for in Patricia Kaliati; he has a very able protégé if not sister.

For Patricia Kaliati, nee Botomani has such an obnoxious way with Press Conferences so that each time she holds one; she lowers the standards further down into the yawing abyss of oblivion for the government she is supposed to speak for.

Finally Ms. Patricia Botomani smelled the blood and she was foaming on the mouth as she discharged a fusillade of profanities only that this time Nikki Dausi was missing in the frame.

It's nice that she realizes she has been riding the wrong horse much as she still remains such a horrendous gaffer and a complete late down to the President. She needs to fine tune and tweak her act if she is to be taken seriously by anybody. Otherwise she comes across as delusional imbecile.

Since assuming her current portfolio she has been behaving as if her own calls for professionalism in performance by the media and execution of information dissemination should be appropriate to everyone but herself. Hogwash! Isn't she the one who should be setting the high standards?

Now she thinks she can bring that same double standard to the general public by warning against the enacting of the Information Bill and haranguing Malawian Journalists and any sympathizers of the opposition.

Also, her fraudulently acquired affluence has gone to her head so that now she can publicly ridicule those poor Malawians, who work so hard to earn a living, that they get paid peanuts and do not own property because they could not get any bribes from the Emirs of United Arab Emirates. Baloney!

Such was her ridiculousness that we left the Press conference unimpressed and in stitches of laughter. For we could not comprehend why a whole government Minister could opt for the low ground instead of raising the moral bar for the administration and her.

If Patricia Botomani a.k.a Kaliati is a constructive and morally upright as she claims to be; if she wants the nation to take her sincerely by believing in what her functions are about, not only as a Minister, but as the competent politician she wants us to believe she is, she will stop making a fool of herself by advertising her ignorance and stupidity the way she did at her recent press conference where she laid into the Media by accusing them of lack of ethics and morality.

Kaliati must stop showing off top government Security and Intelligence experts in public the way she did with Mr. Kapalamula like her boyfriends. That was a very serious National Security breach that can only be entertained in Malawi and by doing so, the personal and professional integrity of Mr. Kapalamula was heavily compromised.

Now Malawians know who Mr. Kapalamula is and I don't think he will be capable of performing his duties in confidence and clandestinely, as his profession requires him to. All because Kaliati was so imprudent as to try to hoodwink Malawian's that Mr. Kapalamula did not make the trip to Angola as it was reported in the press. Isn't that water under the bridge?

Whether Kapalamula went to Angola or not, his cover has been blown and he will never be able to serve this country in his professional capacity effectively; since as from Thursday 9th May 2008 he took over the mantra of "State Stooge" and just "another government paid snitch".

I doubt if this man will share a beer or a cold one with any sane Malawian at the "watering holes" anymore. Moreover what kind of fool would be comfortable to share an innocent chat or banter with this man? To Malawians he is an informer. A tattler, who should be shunned, avoided at any cost. Thanks to Kaliati.

Instead of wasting rare government resources by holding useless Press Conferences that advance draconian principles, she must turn to attending to serious business her Ministry is mandated to perform, in view of the fact that we will be having a general election in May 2009, and there are also many government programs and policies that need to be sold to the public through her Ministry.

Kaliati must not spend time discussing dirty jokes like "Kudya Nthochi Zopanda Makoko" with Godfrey Kanyinji, her PS, when she should provide the political policy leadership as they strategize vibrant Civic Education campaigns, to enlighten and prepare Malawians for their civic duties and other roles they can play in the democratic process.

Please Ms. Botomani, your passionate supporters, your friends, and all those Malawians who have faith in Dr. Mutharika's leadership, the people who live explicitly through the leadership of the DPP and all that it stands for; ought to have better than what you are offering.

The president should not be forced to apologize again to the citizens for the asinine or juvenile mistakes people like you and Ntaba are making. He is above that.

It is flabbergasting and inane that the media have not come out in indignation at Kaliaiti's very offensive comments about the Media Community and the Information Bill, which in reality she was advocating State Censorship and muzzling of the Press.

It is very disappointing and extremely dumbfounding at how she has been able to spout hatred, tribalism and sheer empty bluster with no perceptible opposition from the thinking public, civil liberties committee that; she has been allowed to be on the rampage like a wounded pregnant Buffalo to cause so much public relations carnage with no one trying to bring her to a halt! This must stop! Forthwith!

Yes Ms. Botomani knows we are here in Malawi. Accurate. And we will vote in May 2009 to make sure that democracy prevails for a better and law-abiding nation of Malawi.
