MCP acted ‘ultra vires’ on suspension says Majoni
Malawi Congress Party (MCP) deputy secretary general Bester Majoni has bashed his party’s decision to suspend him saying the disciplinary committee had acted ‘ultra vires’ (beyond powers).
Majoni said he is challenging the suspension saying natural justice was denied in coming up with the decision.
“I cannot accept that kind of letter to me,” said Majoni who has been suspended on grounds that he is “arrogant” and “disrespectful to party leadership.”
“I have prepared a response to that [suspension] letter. I am saying no to that letter,” said Majoni who is in the taskforce for leadership change
Majoni said MCP is entitled to discipline their members but said the leadership has to do it “properly.”
The veteran politician accused party president John Tembo of resisting change of leadership pointing out that there was no National Executive Committee meeting.
“Tembo is a man who cannot reform,” said Majoni formerly a close aide of Tembo.
Majoni argued that the process for suspending him was flawed.
But spokesperson of MCP, Nancy Tembo said Majoni was suspended during a disciplinary meeting on October 20.
“He [Majoni) was called to a disciplinary hearing and following the recommendations from the disciplinary, the decision was made to suspend him,” said MCP spokeswoman.
She said the manner in which Majoni has been castigating MCP leadership has not been proper.
These MCP gurus should learn to follow the partys procedures.
Koma Puluzu at his age what is he fighting for?He has been in that game for 60 yrs before Obama was born and he thinks he can bring change in his twilight days.The noble thing he would have done is to leave that party for some young energetic men to reorganise the party than wasting MCP time.He is just there for financial gains only.He is still holding that greed when he used to be a chairman for 100 companies at once and he doesn’t even realise that things have changed this time.No wonder Kamuzu picked the ex convict to be his vice than Puluzu.He knew him how evil he was.Convention or no convention it high time Puluzu should have packed and went for a rest.Chilichonse ndi nthawi..those are the laws of nature.
Inu!!!Inu!!1 Puludzu ngati anakana kuhaga mkazi wake ku nyumba yamalamulo, mukuyesa angahage democracy – yachiyani??? Adzaphikiridwa mmasamba musiyeni.
Koma tsiku lachimaliziro kudzakhala drama – Puludzu kulira!!!
If you can not practice democracy in a small party, can you afford the whole country?
Mbuzi zachuluka!!!
Inu A MCP Mwatitopetsa please khalani chete tinve zina.
A Tembo kuti asiye ndale sikuti will come voluntarily and without a trail of his past deeds hounding him for the rest of his life. At his ripe age, I think he desperately wants to retire…but the big question is how vulnerable will he be out of main stream Malawi politics?
The big cloud surrounding his final departure from active politics looks bleak and menacingly revengeful. He will leave behind 50 years of his political career tinted with all sorts of misadventures in the name of the party he desperately wants to make his own; He has defended and done a lot in the name of the party….and in so doing through the years he has personalized every facet of the party’s functioning structures; Party finances and his became one and the same….so for him to entangle himself from such financial bondage, is as worse as asking him to commit suicide!!
So with such a scenario, we should brace ourselves for a long and bitter struggle to get rid of him. And luckily enough time will be a factor which will be on our side…. for certain God will never let such an evil politician live for ever!!
nkhani sikukula kwa Tembo apa Bingu sikhalamba? koma kuti majoni is not procedural there4 as a discipline party MCP couldnt do otherwise but to suspend him. that’s a welcome development asakuzoloweleni baba Tembo ngati Majoniyo watopa let him start his own party if at all he will be supported.
This is what Majoni said at Chafukira’s funeral and I qoute,
“Munthu amene wapha malemuyu tikumudziwa, ndipo pano tinenetse tikumupatsa miyezi itatu nayenso akufa basi”
This is new blood for MCP. The guy who lost primary elections four times can come and say MCP lost elections because of JZU. People don’t want Majoni at his home area, where his relations are. They know him better than the rest of the MCP/ nation.
People don’t know that MCP is changing. The truth of the matter is that people are scared of new MCP. That’s why they want to rush them into change. No ways!!
MCP is a disciplined party and will do everything systematically.
