Don’t glorify thieves, says Chilima: Wonders what 80-year-old will do with stolen money
Malawian Vice President and UTM Party presidential candidate in the May 21 watershed elections, Saulos Chilima, has asked people in the country to stop clapping hands for thieves ing government who plunder public resources.
Speaking during Imbizos in Dowa and Ntchisi Friday, Chilima said since he was born he has never heard of people clapping hands for thieves.
“Someone is 80 years old and is stealing government money, what is he going to do with that money at that age?” wondered Chilima in a thinly veiled reference to President Peter Mutharika, 79.
In a rally monitored by Nyasa Times on live video streaming, Chilima, however, said he did not name anyone.
He said the presidency is not for one individual alone, saying the first president the late Kamuzu Banda left the presidency to Bakili Muluzi who also left it to the late Bingu wa Mutharika who again left it to Joyce Banda who left it to incumbent Peter Mutharika.
“This year the incumebent (Peter Mutharika) will hand over the presidency to me in a few days time, izi ndi zosiyilana izi,” said Chilima to the ululating crowd.
He also pledged a good Malawi under the UTM government insisting that ‘everything is possible’.
Chilima held 10 Imbizo tours in Dowa and Ntchisi on Friday and told the gathering not to vote out of mercy or habit.
He will hold final mega rallies in Zomba on Sunday before going to the political mecca Njamba Freedom Park on Tuesday, Kamuzu Day before holding another rally in Mzuzu on Friday next week and a final rally at Likuni in Lilongwe on the last day of campaign, Saturday next week.
During the campaign period, which MEC officially launched on March 19, Chilima and Mutharika have on separate occasions accused each other of planning to rig the elections.
Mutharika also accused telecommunications companies TNM plc and Airtel Malawi of being complicit in the rigging, a claim both companies have dismissed.
Last week, the Immigration Department issued a memo addressed to all heads of sections in the country’s border posts to exercise caution in processing visa applications from risky countries of Nigeria, India and Russia.
Ironically, the memo followed Mutharika’s allegations at a campaign rally in Ntchisi that some of his challengers had engaged nationals of Nigeria, Greece and Russia in a purported scheme to rig the May 21 Tripartite Elections results using ICT.

Going through the comments Nalingula has already called a spade by its name.
My own additional is the elderly (nkhalamba) comments which you teach the youth. It goes viral on this page and other social media. That same thinking is going to all elderly in our villages render them useless and unwanted. They are toarched and even killed because they are old.
Plant a good seed which will not be regretted. I hope if elderly were uselesd and do not need our support you would not advocated for monthly allowances.
Much your plans with your behaviour and be exemplary to the youth.
Is Saulosi Chilima implying that stealing is ok as long as you’re young? Is this not a clear acceptance that he is a thief and we should let him plunder government money because he is young?
We are not that daft. We cannot vote for this thief publicising himself thief with years to do something because of young age.
Vote APM and DPP for real transformation of our country. Like ANC, DPP wins elections, always! Incumbent president won in Nigeria… incumbent president has just won in South Africa. Next is the incumbent president winning in Malawi.
The Question about what an 80 year old man will do with stolen money buffles me a lot. Chilima is implying and construing that stealing is not a problem so long you are 46 since you have more years to make use of what you have stolen. To Chilima, stealing is ok and normal while the problem is age since someone has no time to make use of what he has stolen
What will a 46 year old Chilima do with stolen money? At 46 you can have a 26 year old woman as a daughter, who in turn can have a child. Ndinunso amgogo pamene mulipo mr Chilima, kwanu kunatha. Kuba mmboma tisiyileni anafe
although am not UTM What kind of reasoning is this Ndadabwa. i think you can raise a better argument . An argument that will look at issues objectively. Try to use reason and not emotion. .
kunena zoona CHILIMA NDIWE BIG MAN NDIPO NDAKUGOMERA NDIWE DOLO I VOTE FOR YOU AYISE
People should not glorify you either – tambwali, katchali all in you! I have come to conclude that anyone trusting you has a questionable moral and spiritual standing. Sure what a betrayer – you joined DPP when we all knew it was a party of thieves and it took you 5 years to agree- what sort of a leader are you?
Kodi bro SKC/UTM nzanu wamared barets uja mmadaba zirizonse uja Julius Malema/EFF maresults akumuendera bwanji kuJoni? He had a lot of youth and urban voters paja kutokota heavy pa social media.
Nkhungu mose. Bakili Muluzi wodziwa zakuchipinda olo pa bed anafunsa Brown Mpinganjira kuti amvamo chiyani mwa mkazi wa ana faifi. Iwe Getuludi amamvamo chiyani mwa munthu wa zaka makumi eyiti? Munthu mawu atheratu ndiye mu panti ndi mkodzo okhaokha. Mulungu wakusungani nthawi yayitali and juba mukuba Maratha kale. Ana athu adya chiyani. Owens Chilima sukugwira ntchito. Ukutibera misonkho nawe. Manyazi alibe Saulos. Impeachment laws zibwere basi. You can’t do this in America. You can’t steal.osagwira ntchito. You work to earn a salary. Malawi is stupid. I would not even glorify Chilima himself.
Owens Chilima sukugwira ntchito. Ukulipidwa za ulele. Kumeneko ndi kubanso. That’s being immoral as well. At least Chilumpha and JB were kicked out by Bingu. Iwe you left on your own accord. If you live in a glass house don’t throw stones Saulos Chilima please.
Respect respect elderly people. Don’t you have old people in your clan.You are a big food. This is too much. Do you remember the story of young boys in the Bible who laughed at Elisha because he was old and bold headed. What happened to them?
I pray in the mighty name that because of these insults that you should be on number ,3. I will give myself a day of fasting because of your inslults that you loose.
You are a worst idiot. Shame on you. Fool
Mr. Chilima please tell Malawians what you will do for them if elected other than always throwing bad words at Peter. Yes it is campaign but I see you overdoing.
@ silica
He will correct the mess that your grandfather president has created. Also deal with those named in albino killings and malawi police service ration scum. I hope this answers your question
Equally true that people should not glorify individuals who were party to DPP crimes and evil and now presenting themselves as saints.
Pindani…The irony of your comment is that, that’s exactly what Joyce Banda is doing today on an MCP podium and you MCP supporters are crapping hands. Do you have any idea how wealthy JB & KK became after accending to the presidency?……I hear now she is the richest woman in Malawi.
kkkkkk i agree
Here you will starve if you do not steal enough money and stash away. It does not matter what age. Actually 80 and older is the best time to continue stealing.
Koma Uyu Chilima akupusitsatu anthu opanda nzeru sure! Zokuti APM ndiwakuba wazidziwa lero? Kapena APM wangofikila zaka 80 samamuona kuti ngokalamba nthawi yonseyi???? Nanga bwanji amamupanga glorify mpakana kumugwadila 4 years yapitayi? Sorry but not all of us are dull to believe you
Inu moti system yaboma simuyidziwa? Would you talk? Thats why he walked so he can talk. You can’t vote for change and move a step forward? You want to get stuck with your thieving DPP?
You dull too! They all politicians at the end of the day and its a game and its systematic! Regardless people have to make choices to vote for less morally okay people or hardcore evil doers like Dpp! No one is pperfect as for me I would rather choice Chilima than Peter he doesn’t have the qualities of leading us to real development but 145 M thief-ing!!
The question is aren’t these facts that chilima is putting forth?. Comment on substance abale aaah. Use your brain not your emotions. mumatichitisa manyazi ngati tonse amalawi we are dump and dumb.
We don’t entertain cursed idiots like yourself.
@ phsyuta
Neither do we entertain looters, arsonists and albinos killers. I am talking about DPP here incase you are wondering DPP follower called phsyuta
The Deal was …Help Us to Rig the Elections ,I will Only Serve One…. Term then you will Take Over….Let’s Glorify Vote Riggers,Vote Burners ? Hee ? But not Money Stealers? Let’s not Clap Hands for Money Stealers But let’s Clap Hands for Those who Can Freely Eat our Taxes without Working for Them ?Let Us Clap Hands for those who Made Us look Stupid in 2014….Casting Votes that did not Count?Amalawi Sachedwa Kuyiwala…..But am not one to Easily Forget.
Most of the time old aging process is hiden by the clothes we put on. Let ignorant Chilima become necked, stand near the mirror glass then he is going to see that he is not the same as yesterday.
Undiluted truth Nalingula, you have spoken my mind. He thinks we’ll b that stupid again to 4get so soon what he did to. Wasting our precious time to go to cast our votes knowing well they will not count. Chilima must b a fool amongst all fools to think he can fool us again. Not this time around.
Nalingula you can say that again and again and again. You are so spot on and I 100% agree with you. Uyuuuu anabera ma vote 2014 wakhala akudya zakuba 4 and half years pano akulandila ndalama osagwilila ntchito close to 9 months ndiye apa azidzionetsa ngati Angelo?? A malawi a malawi kutengeka no critical thinking at all. DPP = CHILIMA & CHILIMA = DPP. UTM = DPP TEAM B
OSAWAPATSA VOTE AWA A UTM NDI DPP NDI AMODZI
You have made my day man! Chilima partnered APM in 2014 when APM was 74. He knew quite well that at 74 APM was still an old man. Why has he become sacarstic about his boss this time around????. The answer is BITTERNESS. Is Chilima trying to tell us that APM was his agemate in 2014 who all over sudden jumped tha age to 80???? If Chilima does not respect his boss and showers insults while APM was the one who singled him out of 17 million Malawians to be his running-mate, is he going to respect any other person once given power????
