Court grants Kaliwo an injunction to delay MCP convention

May 9, 2018 Green Muheya -Nyasa Times 31 Comments

The High Court has issued an injunction order to  man opposition Malawi Congress Party (MCP) and its leadership not to hold its national convention and  stopping the disciplinary inquiries and suspending its embattled senior members.

Kaliwo: Gets another injunction

Justice Mike Tembo on Tuesday granted the injunction after lawyer Kalekeni Kaphale filed an application  on behalf five senior members  stopping MCP from effecting its decision to either fire or suspend them from the main opposition party.

The five are suspended first vice-president Richard Msowoya, secretary general Gustav Kaliwo, first deputy secretary-general Chatonda Kaunda and fired treasurer general Tony Kandiero and publicity secretary Jessie Kabwila.

MCP national executive committee (NEC) resolved to suspend and fire the five in February this year pending disciplinary action for their alleged role in destabilising the party but the five rushed to the court to obtain an injunction.

Befoe making his Oder, Judge Tembo  read the affidavit of Kaliwo.

The party’s deputy secretary general Eisenhower Mkaka said MCP was waiting patiently for the logical conclusion of the court action, saying  an injunction is a temporary relief.

He refused t comment on how the cases will affect MCP preparations for the elections.

  1. I hear the MCP NEC has reinstated them this morning. Let us see if they will continue with injunctions and if at all they will be successful at the Convention. Bravo MCP for the wise and cunning political move. Political problems have do be solved by political solutions. Let the battle begin.

  2. but then our courts are also at the centre of injustice. why not deal with this matter as urgently as they do with election cases? is it not a priority? elections will soon be held. why take months to dispense justice in the matter? i won’t be surprised to learn later that there was a syndicate in all this. we adopt a wait-and-see attitude.

  3. Kalekeni Kaphale of all the lawyers. Kuchita kuwonekeratu kuti mulu DPP munkhanimu. Injunctions are just reliefs. No solutions to anything at all. At the end of the day the convention will still take place. Whether or not the complainants will still maintain membership of MCP will have to wait for the same convention they are fighting hard to stop. Kolowera kulibe. Paja mayi Kabwira ananena kuti kupita ku DPP kuli ngati maliro amene. Chabwino apa ndikuwauza akuluakulu kuti ndife ana anu tasiya zonse. Ife tonse tisangalala nanu. There is no better alternative to this option otherwise you are all getting out of politics, and fast. Ukamasamuka muchipani kumafunika kachetechete chifukwa kwinako amakulandilanso kachetechete. Koma ukamachoka ndiphokoso, chipani chinacho chimakakufinya.

  4. It is very clear that Kaliwo and others want to frustrate MCP and they being sponsored by dpp who know that MCP would form the next government. Party membership is voluntary and those who join the party are free to leave. There are no strings attached for people to join parties. We have seen people like Uladi and Mpinganjira changing parties. Mia did not apply to join MCP and he is prepared to go through the convention to be given a top position. Msowoya is not happy with the coming of Mia.Kaliwo is behaving like a pig stirring dirty clean water. One day he will regret this. It’s unfortunate that a few shithole trying to frustrate millions of Malawi Congress Party supporters. The best is to defeat these people at a convention. It’s also unfortunate that in Malawi justice takes too long ang thugs like Kaliwo are taking advantage. Kaphale is a known dpp operative. These people are worse than hyenas and dogs.

  6. Kkkkkk onsewa2 akuti akufuna kutumikila amalawi. Koma ziliko Ku Malawi kuno. Kukanganilana ma usogoleri. This makes me wonder if in Malawi political leadership is really a vocation.

  7. Kaliwo is being used as a condom and there must be incentives that is making him to do the fooolish actions that he is taking. But there is a righteous judge in heaven who will deal with him at the right time. We are praying over the matter.

  9. Mr. Kaliwo, why cant you be humble and be free to enjoy your life at once. What is it in these fights which you are not telling us. Whose freedom, poverty or victimisation are you fighting? Which poor ordinary Malawian will wake up singing praises to God once all your fights are done? Mwatani wawa? You are betraying the respect and trust, we, the younger generation, had on you. Honestly, am so much at pain with what you are doing. Your ego is a bitter demonic concoction. You will die a painful death with no friends around you. Kumangokhalira kuponda basi? Should we believe there is a yellow buns between your teeth from the ruling party? Look at how calm your friends are? Koma akulu inu?

  12. Sanatumidwe ndi munthu,ndi ufuluwake kuthenga chiletso vuto ndi Chakwera pochosa maudindo omwe anasankhidwa ndi anthu pofuna kusangalasa Nyiya wa ku Mozambique uja.MCP ilila sinati 2019 iluza akasumaso kuti abeledwa eeeeeeee ndi ukwechetu APM machine awooooooooo

    1. Kaliwo was never elected at the convention he was appointed by Chakwera . Get your facts right. In the end they will be bruised and shamed.

  13. Penanso ma court ndamene mukufuna kuononga zinthu. Same high court threw out Kaliwo’s injunction giving a go ahead kuti MCP should continue with its convention. Just hours letter same high court is granting Kaliwo with fresh injunction stopping MCP from holding the convention. Why are u judges confusing Malawians? It’s like u don’t know what u are supposed to do.
    Awo akupita kukatenga injunction wo ndachitsiru chadzaoneni chifukwa ndi iwo omwewo ankafuna convention chaka chathachi lero akuiyopa….mxiiiiiiii.

  15. Wadya zambiri Kaliwo, nanga akaluzanso ku khotiko atani, munthu uyu ndi chitsilu akutumidwa ndi Pitala.

  16. You are killing the party Bwana Kaliwo and team. MCP please reinstate them and let them face the convention. Let’s if they can be elected again.

  17. You guys just humble yourself and move forward. For how long will you be doing this and what the gain?

  19. You will not achieve anything from your actions only a hefty legal bill.The winner is your legal representative Mr Kalekeni Kaphale,his bank balance is increasing.You are doomed we at the MCP know that you have a blue vest and t- shirt under that ugly torso.Kapezeni china chochita

    1. Mr Kaliwo is a true democrat and does not believe in doing things without procedures and he is a man who knows Malamulo mumva naye madzi uyu

      1. You lie my friend. All MCP members recognise Chakwera as their leader and kaliwo as a fugitive homeless politician. He can’t join dpp because he thinks he will end up like Jumbe. He can not remain in MCP because no one will work with him. He is a bitter rejected person who will be remembered as a traitor when he passed on.

      2. why did he accept to be appointed the SG without the convention if he is a democrat??

  20. I CAN NOW CONFIDENTLY SAY THAT THIS IS A POLITICAL VENDETTA. THIS IS THE END OF KALEKENI KAPHALE’S LAW JOURNEY BY SIDING WITH NKHOLOKOLOS WHILE HE KNOWS WHERE THE TAIL HAS BENT. LET’S WAIT AND SEE. IF THE WORSE GOES TO THE WORST, THE ONLY THING FOR MCP TO DO IS NOT TO CALL FOR ANY CONVENTION. THE CURRENT NEC SHOULD GO UNTIL 2019 ELECTIONS. GREEDY KALIWO SHOULD SUFFER WITH HIS 300,000,000 KWACHA SPONSORED BY A DISTURBALIZED PANGA PARTY.

  21. To he’ll with this idiot Kaliwo but Kabwira are you still party of this group answer now or you disappear for good
