Mutharika warns UTM operatives: Stop insults or risk tonne of bricks on your heads
President Peter Mutharika has again warned newly registered political party UTM led by Vice President Saulos Chilima against attacking him during political rallies and through social media.
Speaking on Thursday on arrival in Mzuzu, Mutharika said the UTM leadership and its operatives have been attacking him during their rallies and on Facebook.
“UTM is continuously insulting my government. UTM is failing to inform Malawians what it is capable of doing to Malawians,” said President Mutharika to hundreds of people who gathered at Katoto Round About to welcome him to the Northern Region where he is expected to preside over the 12th University of Livingstonia Graduation Ceremony on Saturday where 399 graduates will be accorded with bachelors and masters degrees.
He added: “Malawians are not stupid to choose such leaders who have nothing to deliver to Malawians.”
Mutharika said politics of insulting rival parties has no room in the multiparty and democratic dispensation.
The President also mentioned Manes Winnie Chitedze Hale, a naturalised United States of America (USA) citizen, a UTM supporter who is known on Facebook as Abiti Manes Dawood, for being one of the people insulting him yet he sent her to US “for medial treatment”.
Hale, who was arrested this year at Kamuzu International Airport for allegedly insulting President Mutharika through social media posts before the State had dropped the case, in hrer post on Facebook in reaction the President’s remarks, questioned which treatment the Malawi leader was referring to- in apparent dig to dismiss the claims.
She was arrested as she was about to catch a flight back to her base in the US after being spotted attending some UTM rallies in Mzuzu and Mangochi addressed by Chilima.
Hale claimsto be related to the Mutharikas, saying her mother was a sister to the late first lady Ethel, who was former president the late Bingu wa Mutharika’s first wife.
Menawhile, Mutharika who threatened UTM if that if they continue insulting him, he is going to “break a tonne of bricks” on their heads, has maintained his warning to deal with UTM members using Section Four of the Protected Flag, Emblems And Names Act, which provides penalties for anyone who does any act or utters any words or publishes or utters any writing calculated to or liable to insult, ridicule or to show disrespect to or with reference to the President.
On government’s development agenda, the President assured Malawians of the country’s continued development through the establishment of community colleges, implementing Farm Input Subsidy Programme and other infrastructural projects to improve people’s livelihoods.
On his way to Mzuzu from Lilongwe, the President addressed people who gathered at Imalandiwo in Dowa, Kasungu Boma and Jenda in Mzimba.

Bricks back on the scene
I think the President is just scared with Chilima whose popularity is growing every second
SAULOS SAULOS 2019 MPANDO NDI WAKO NJERWAZO TIZIWAKHA IFE AMALAWI AKUNAMATU MKULUYU
The man is toooo old to know what comes out of his mouth. Forgive him for he doest know. But don’t forgive him when it comes to voting. He has done enough harm to Malawi
Koma ineyo a Maliseche and Mchacha mukamatukwana is okay?????
We are not the ones that called you Maliseche, it was from your very own camp kikikikikikikikkkiki
Whoever is advising peter sakumuthandiza,koma ma results akazatuluka after 21 may. I can only guess kuti azatani. Amalawi panopa ndi okwiya ndi ma blackouts,nepotism,unemployement,corruption,,economy.For Gods sake tall about fixing this things other than utm. Kodi Ku america simumaona mene ndale amachitira. Petulo petulo
I can only smell political chaos from DPP
The more you condemn UTM for vilifying DPP officials the more people believe that bwana you have lost control of your own party members. You have a lot of rotten potatoes in your own yard like Mchacha who spews unmentionables even against women (who we all supposed to respect). What do you do bwana? You keep quite. Why can’t you call your own party members to order? Are you scared of them? If so, then how can you run a country with that selective attitude. Until you can Mchacha to order, please don’t make noise…..the elders are sleeping.
Amatukwana achina mchacha sumawaona
Wrong Mr. President. UTM is continuously telling us what they will do for Malawians. They will bundle all the thieves that have robbed taxpayers. They will ensure all those who declared bags if maize as their assets to account for all the 4 wheelers and town houses. They will ensure deserving Malawians occupy government offices. They ensure wealth is equitably distributed.
Trouble is you only hear from Chilima what you would like to hear, and nothing else, because you have pathological hatred for the UTM Leader. For us who listen to him, there are so many things he says he will do.
We will be waiting for taking to task SKC
Bwana president, with due respect sir , just leave the presidency now ,to avoid being embarrassed in 2019
Talk about fixing M1 road instead of such nonsense. You are supposed to have thick skin as president. This completely shows that Maliseche is not fit for president.
He is complaining about the very same thing that people are complaining about him , DPP , Jeff wa Jeff and mchacha. This is exactly what we have been talking about that politics of insults has no place in that country but you have chosen not to listen and you have gone a step further to reward the characters that have taken this primitive politics to another level with ministerial and senior party positions. So you think the people that are complaining about mchacha and Jeff wa jeff are stupi and that only you are wise? Do you care to reflect on the issues Malawians are talking about and complaining about?. I am really worried with mutharika’s level of comprehension of issues. There is surely something seriously wrong with this man.
They say “honesty is the best policy”. Apparently the current leadership chooses not honest with itself. It expects kukolora tirigu pomwe akubzyala ndi kupalira nasongole (aka mchacha ndi jefu)
Nchifukwa chache anthu okalamba amawaganizira ufiti. Nanga zokamba munthu zikakhale zimenezi? Uyu akapume basi
koma Dingase wandiseketsa kkkk
Nanga zomwe akukamba mdalayu sizaufiti izi Bea?
Bwana President, (1) Stop Mchacha and Jeffrey from insulting members of other political parties. (2) Use those tonnes of bricks to build schools. (3) You are a Stupid President!!!!
This is a very clear three-point petition
Kodi za ton of bricks amanena akafike Ku Mzuzu everyone bwanji? Amaopa kunenera Ku LL amamuopa Saulosi madalawa eti? Ton of bricks imeneyo ndi back to sender
What Mr. Maliche is saying is really laughable. Now I understand when people talk of sleep walking. Infact, this man is dead walking.
Mr. President, have forgotten that your own campaign director called you MALISECHE? Did you drop a ton of bricks.
This is pathetic, you are encouraging violence Mr Maliseche, this is sad coming from a President
Mr Maliseche , don’t speak from both ends of your mouth, you are rewarding your surrogates who insult women at your poltical party.
A Maliseche , you take the high road and stop that kind of language, , advise your surrogates to stop insulting women,
Koma mumamva bwanji atsogoleri athu mukamakamba za chitukuko koma mukenda mseu ngati wa Lilongwe to Mzuzu via Kasungu or lake shore.
How do you feel you our leaders when you talk about development, but travelling on such roads as Lilongwe Mzuzu via Kasungu; or worse still the lakeshore road. Do you feel a shamed when you visit other countries!!!!
President chindere chakufikapo.
Go and arrest him if you are very serous
Mr president, walk the talk, be the first person to silence Mchancha et alius
This man is really too old im trying to find substance in this but maybe its just me kikikikikiki What is insulting him? saying you in possession of crime proceeds 145 M and 5 cars? or your a Motchona ? Why dont you start first by telling your thugs to stop burning property of oppositions and ur police to act without favour or fear on such crimes? And lastly use those tones of bricks lay stones fooling malawians on universities, new airports and whatever comes to your mind adadi kikikikikik #21MAY2019MyVoteMatters #NewGenerationMalawiWaDzuka
Nthawi yake inoyo Mr President? Njerwa zimenezo sizigwela yemwe aponyeyo mwini wakeyo zimenezooooooooooooo! Inutuuuuuuuuuuuuu mukulankhula moooooooonetsa kusowa mtendere! Ndikunama ineeeeeeeeeee? Kayaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Komano based on this will you stand the pressure coming ahead of you in 2019!
Try and arrest Chilima Mr President, we will send you into exile.
Lets drop bricks on his head instead in 2019!

I have heard more fundo from Chilima than you lot. I cannot even understand what you are saying at functions.
