Kabwila wants Mutharika to discipline foul-mouthing Jeffrey, Mchacha over demeaning remarks to Malawi women
Parliament’s Women Caucus has sprung up, demanding President Peter Mutharika to discipline two ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) officials for attacking women at a political rally.
The chairman of the caucus, Jessie Kabwila has also asked the foul-mouthing DPP secretary general Grazider Jeffrey and the party regional governor for the south Charles Mchacha to apologise to former First Lady Callista Mutharika and Patricia Kaliati for attacking them respectively at a political rally in Mulanje.
Jeffrey said Callista killed her husband late President Bingu wa Mutharika while Mchacha described Kaliati as an idiot for joining the so-called Chilima Movement canvassing for the presidential candidacy of Vice-President Saulos Chilima.
“The two should be disciplined for insulting the modesty of a woman,” said
She said Mutharika should as well be held accountable to the remarks by Jeffrey and Mchacha because he is the head of the party and the insulting words were said in his presence and by not condemning them there and then, he participated an authorised.
“As the champion of HeandShe, the president needs to protect women, he should have condemned the two right away at the rally,” Kabwila said.
She said the insults on Callista and Kaliati are a set back to the crusade to lure more women into political and decion making positions.
Presidential spokesperson Mgeme Kalilani said Mutharika could not comment on the matter describing the issue as personal and petty.
Kaliati, the Mulanje West legislator who is also Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) national director of women, and her husband, Angie, member of Parliament (MP) for Mulanje Pasani, belong to different factions in the governing party.
Mchacha publicly insulted Patricia Kaliati in the presence of her husband at a political rally President Peter Mutharika addressed at Limbuli in Mulanje on Saturday, stating that Angie married a foolish woman.
Patricia Kaliati last week led the Chilima Movement, a faction of DPP national governing council (NGC) members and legislators pushing forward Chilima’s name for the party’s presidency, at a news conference where called Mutharika as a clueless leader.
Kabwila has all along be calling Mutharika an inept leader.

So Pitala, the ambassador for He and She Campaign was around when he suppose to defend the very same people. So what the essence of having him in that position if he cannot do the job. I it was in Europe this would have been taken away from him, but thank God we’re in Malawi, the top 3 country when it comes to poverty and poor governance. and of course thats what you get when you have your madala as president, and he sleeps on the job. I guess Calista was right.
inept leaders are INEPT INDEED!
Chemwali a Jessie, kodi munali kuti miezi itatu yonse yapitai? Ife timaesta kapena munachita rizaini, ndikumabwelera ku Chirunga.
Well, it’s ironic that the two of the most vocal female MPs Malawi has had, their political careers converge in this way, and on this issue; and now on a down trend. Their relevance declining fast.
To be sure, there is no fraternity here; they are sworn enemies. And in no time, they will be at each other’s throat.
I feel sorry for Akweni, as all the years it took her to develop the “tough as nails woman” reputation, it all gets lost in one swoop. Eish.
Callister should sue Jef Wa Jef for defamation. This is a clear case
I remember Bakili Muluzi used similar words calling others forsake, stupid, agalu and what were women doing? Clapping hands and saying Lululu Lululu. Remember? So it’s all party women who have a problem. Patricia Kaliati is an opportunists who goes where money is. How many political parties has she moved to ever since. She can’t be stable like Kabwila strong mature and balanced woman
A Kabwila mukuti chiyani apa?? Mumve zimene Kaliatai and Calista ankalankhula ku press conference ndiye muymabe mwadzudzula amenewo. They were insulting the Head of State but you did chastize them. So what is this nonsense you are talking about? Do you remember the same Calista called JB mayi wamandasi? Did you condemn her? Kaliati deserves what she is facing and sanati aziona pofika 2019 alira pamodzi ndi Calista wakeyo.
This is not the right direction the DDP is taking now. But I am surprised that why did the President not stop Mchacha immediately. By keeping silence did this mean that he too was pleased with such remarks?
Mgeme, be serious please!
Another idiot in town called Mtopwa one harassing MCP member is uncalled for. Such issues if remained unchecked are very dangerous.
This is what happens when political parties no longer focus on the people but rather on themselves. This behaviour of kutukwana is an indictment on the Malawi politics of today. Malawi has become an immoral society headed by immoral political leaders. Malawi needs serious prayers
Foul mouthing is bad in every respect. I am surprised that you pronounce condemnation selectively. Would you also pronounce condemnation for insults hurled at the head of state.
nothing wrong remember how patricia spoke badly about the president during their press conference. discipline her first
“PERSONAL and PETTY”? at a rally in front of the Head of State and broadcast on radios and tvs? Incredible. Come on. One was accused of murder and the other called chitsiru..
THE PROBLEM IS THE HUSBAND, ANGIE KALIATI.
HOW CAN HE ASSOCIATE HIMSELF WITH A PARTY THAT DEMEANS HIS WIFE?
IF PARTICIA KALIATI IS A FOOL (CHITSIRU), THEN HE, ANGIE KALIATI, IS ALSO A FOOL (CHITSIRU). ANTHUWA NDI THUPI LIMODZI AS HUSBAND AND WIFE. ZITSIRU ZIMAKWATIRANA ZOKHAZOKHA.
IF I WERE THE HUSBAND, I WOULD RECONSIDER MY ASSOCIATION WITH THIS PARTY OF EDUCATED FOOLS!!!!!!!!!!!! MONEY OR NO MONEY!
Mgeme Kalilani,please stop fooling us as if we are all deaf and blind.Were those remarks from stupid Mchacha and Wa Jeffrey personal or political?If were personal as you have stated why were they addressed at a political rally?Why the President did not say anything if it was a personal?Why he did not distinguish himself from those remarks at the same rally.God will punish you for telling lies Mr Mgeme
Kabwila and Kaliati you are all total fools and idiots. Aren’t you the same people who were talking or exchanging bad words to each other in parliament ? Have you forgotten and you want to look good to people now? Keep quiet.
All of you , your mouths look like a pit latrine or torn underwears . That’s being stupid Kabwila and Patricia kaliati. Mwatopa mbuzi, mahule inu.
There are no permanent enemies in politics
Is she not a motormouth idiot….kkkkkkkkk
Kabwira shut up your dirtymouth. Your party called you and still calls you nkholokolo, who has apologised to you. Has Dr Chakwera apologised to you and other fellow nkholokolo?
Problem is the Kaliatis and Callistas are the ones who are the original castigators. How come when Callista was busy castigating and demeaning JB, who was a sitting VP at the time, noone asked her to apologize to JB. Or even now if we were to ask her for calling JB a mandasi woman, will she apologize. Kaliati naye didnt she say Joyce Banda was responsible for spreading rumors about Bingus ill health at one point. Didnt she say JB is an embarassment to women at one time. What goes around comes around.
The inept leader cannot apologies, for apology is not in his vocabulary .He seems to have enjoyed the insults ,dis-respecting a female for her choice of association.The president is part of these savages so forget about the apology it’s not coming..
The test of one’s own medicine is always bitter. Both Kaliati and Callista are not innocent in this. It’s a shame!
Our Malawian female politicians should learn to respect themselves first if people are to take them seriously. If fact the architect of JB’s failure in 2014 is NOT CASHGATE as some people would want everyone to believe. It’s WOMEN themselves. Otherwise if statistics are to go by, she’s a LESSER EVIL on cashgate.
In fact some men are discouraging their spouses to join politics chifukwa cha n’khalidwe wongotukwana ‘wu.
SHAME!!!
Kabwila, there was nothing to do with attacking the modesty of these two women by Wa Jeffrey and Mchacha because Kaliati and Callista do not have clean hands – their mouths and actions are equally dirty. Do you remember the terrible behaviour of Callista and her nasty words during Bingu’s reign?
I agree with you darling Jessie, these people should account for the remarks they made. it was wrong. How can someone call somebody’s wife an idiot at a political rally before the head of state if he is the head at all?
Since when have u learnt to tame your mouth..jessie Jessie you are not the right person to say this . If it was not for chakwera-mia effect sibwenzi uli kukamwa yasa…..these two humbled you..shut up u have skeletons in the closet too
