Mutharika attacks Joyce Banda over bad publicity: ‘Too much envy in Malawi’

Malawian President Professor Peter Mutharika has accused his predecessor, Joyce Banda of being responsible for his negative publicity, saying she was paying Malawi journalists to write bad stories about his government.

The President was speaking  at Kamuzu International Airport (KIA) in Lilongwe Thursday on upon his arrival from the 40th anniversary of Mozambique’s independence celebrations.

Mutharika also expressed regret over Banda’s conduct during last year’s Tripartite Elections when she tried to annul Mutharika’s controversial victory. She called for a re-election, saying the election had been marred by widespread fraud.

Banda, he first serving Malawian president to lose an election, however, accepted defeat after the High Court ordered the release of the results.

The Malawi leader also bemoaned that Banda shunned his inauguration ceremony and rejected  an “olive branch” he had offered her.

Mutharika said was impressed with the relationship the current Mozambican President, Filipe Jacinto Nyusi has with former Heads of States, Armando Emilio Guebuza and Joaquim Chissano and, wished the situation is similar in Malawi.

”The three of them (Nyusi, Guebuza and Chissano) were on the same table and seemed to be happy being there together. That’s what is lacking in this country,” said Mutharika.

He added: ”Here (Malawi) there is no cordial relationship among the (political) leaders; you see a predecessor refusing to handover power, paying the media to write bad stories about their successor”.

Mutharika called for unity among political leaders and prayed for Malawi to borrow a leaf from Mozambique in regards to peace and unity.

”We need to learn from Mozambique. In this country there is too much individualism and envy. We need to get rid of that if we are to develop”.

Banda ‘s spokesman could not immediately comment on the comments by Mutharika.

But the Malawi leader came under fire last December for giving envelopes containing $125 to more than 80 media people at a dinner he hosted in Blantyre.

In his column in the Nyasa Times, Malawi professor of law Danwood Mzikenge Chirwa said what President Mutharika did by giving money handouts to journalists at a news event was tantamount to bribery.

Local civil society groups said that “by attempting to bribe the journalists” Mutharika subjected his leadership style to disrepute.

Some journalists donated the money to charity.

And this week, a lawmaker Peter Chakwantha accused the Mutharika government of trying to bribe some journalists not to do probing stories to the K92 billion ‘DPP-era cashgate.’

Maclan Kanyang’wa, who heads the Department of Journalism and Media Studies at the Polytechnic College of the University of Malawi, said a media code of ethics bars journalists from accepting payment on a story.—Additional reporting by Green Muheya, Nyasa Times

  1. APRM as a person is a good man. He does not seem to have the apparent bad mind of his late brother. He ought to be supported but he must be wary of bad advice from some of his henchmen and opportunists.

  2. The Mozambican former Presidents are from the same party. Tatiuzani zanzelu for once

  3. Eish !gogo APM mwaonjeza.Now I believe mumabwebweta za JB in your sleep if at all you sleep.It seems simugona nawo tulo mayiwa.Anakufinyani ma battery heavy.I doubt if you have real masculine balls.Behave like a man.

  4. What I see in Malawi is only bull-shit coz the same bad guys,are given a chance to lead; The best solution to the current rangles is “public mass protest” to over throw the government

  5. This senile ‘president’ is at it again!

    Blame the opposition for any criticism of your government. Even the ex-president who is not even in the country!

    Unity?

    My friend, unity comes from pointing out the flaws which you see in your country, so that we can all work on improving it together.

    Unity comes from rooting out corruption so that we can all build our country together.

    ‘Unity’ does not come from blind obedience to the president and unfailing, relentless praise to the ones who ‘rule’ us.

    ‘Unity’ does not come from having a one party state ( FRELIMO ) that rules the country for decades whilst the opposition is side-lined and ignored, and corruption, kidnapping, theft and ransom run rampant in the country. This leads to civil war!

    This is the ‘unity’ Mutharika wants us to copy from Mozambique?

    No thank you Mr. President!

  6. CORRECTION:For record purposes,the FIRST,sitting president to lose an election in Malawi, was the late Ngwazi Dr.H.Kamuzu Banda(Lion of Malawi),in 1994.When he realised that votes were not going his way,he promptly, congratulated the frontrunner,who happened to be Dr.Bakili Muluzi.

  7. The US Supreme Court has legalizes gay marriages in all 50 states. It’s now cool to be gay in the USA you may consider retrieving your Green Card and going back to where you will be welcomed with open arms,

  8. Remember your election was dented by fraud and you had to be let in by the court to spare Malawi from civil strife. So the going might be worse and we should pray for our country. See you are running a minority govt.

    Citizen

  9. Lero zikuwawa? Remember how you painted black paint on her leadership? Just wait and see. Muyeso omwe umamuyesrra nzako omwewonso nawe udzakuyesa.

  10. What the President has said is true, Malawi is a peaceful country yes,but leaders are very uncivilized foe example Joyce Banda. She is a disgrace to Our nation. You mean somebody should go All over the world talking evil of her nation because she has lost an election. Does she know that by Talking bad of Malawi the lowest poor Malawians, children women and the old will suffer. I will always differ with politicians who wish their countries bad.

    JOYCE BANDA THINK TWICE!!!!! YOU WILL STILL NEED THESE MALAWIANS YOU ARE DENYING TODAY BY INTIMATING BAD ABOUT MALAWI WITH THE AIM OF MAKING MALAWI SUFFER FROM DONOR AID. GOD KNOWS IT ALL.

  11. Komanso Matchona……. You mean you don’t even research the history of the country you are going to visit ?. Nobody told you about our neighbors political history

  12. Why don’t you be the real man and invite JB to dinner…….. Take the high road and stop chastising her for your failures.

  13. OMG is this guy really this ignorant?…nobody told him about the political history of Mozambique? ……Good heavens! This so embarrassing.

  14. start yourself by inviting Chakwera and other oppositipn party leaders to a tea party.They have something to offer.The problem with Malawi successive presidemts is the bad attitude towards opposition.You opposition also learn to be accomodative.I become very sick to see these two camps quarreling over trivial matters.You waste our time.

  15. Suck it Mutharika – you wanted to victimise JB for nothing. Now JB is out of your way and you are complaining. Just govern the country. Do not be like a cry baby! It’s not negative publicity that is destroying the country except your poor vision. You said you are happy to run the country with zero aid. Suck it up, develop and articulate a vision that citezens can buy into. You wanted the presidency and you now have it so do what the job demands. Albeit you are surprised that JB with little education was able to meet the demands of the presidency.

  16. That is a crap mr president! You are the one who offered journalists thousands just to write well about and evidence is there. And here you go claiming someone is buying reporters? The advice is simple: “If you don’t want it printed, don’t do it.” So don’t blame reporters for checking your corrupt stooges. Just run the country so that we develop it. Learn from your brother who used to say “let the work of my hands speak for me” and they did and reporters reported that. Stop this #JB nonsense!

  17. Abwana muyambe inuyo ndi chipani chanu kulemekeza a JB. Inu munkakana mukaitanidwa ndi JB mumayesa sizimawawa, eti? Ndipo inuyo munapezwa mukupereka ndalama zankhaninkhani kwa atolankhani. YANKHULANI.

  18. U paid journalists $125! Why? was that not bribery? U dont belong here i mean malawi so u better go back to where u belong. we need K577bn full report osati analytic report iwe!. dont u ever think that malawians r fools mwina akwanu bodza ku thyolo n some neighbouring districts. just try to sit on the cashgate report JULY 20 IBWERATSO MAN! muzatipheretso abale athu kenako mukawapatse money a polisi coz of shooting ppo to death. Fools!

  19. let jb enjoy her stay in foreign lands do the best and pipo will Luke u.don’t kilurself by talkun trash as UA bro did,we don’t want to lose another president,

  20. Ngakhale mulire bwanji zoona tikuzidziwa. Mudaluza chisankho khalani pansi basi. Nkhuku zinazi sizikadatithandiza masalary ife

  21. Mutharika does not realise that the two former Presidents and the current one in Mozambique are all from one Party – FRELIMO that is why they can do what he saw. Matchona

  22. Are we really surprised with what apm is saying? Please my president, why stoop so low? Why all this obsession with jb instead of telling us about the future development of our country?

    Look now you are making jb more popular and if elections were held today you would embarrassingly lose to her. I give you my advice freely. You are really becoming a clown.

    You can see even your own dpp diehard supporters are scratching their heads on this. More of this clown performance you will lose all dpp supporters as well.

  23. Didn’t you pay journalist MK50,000? Disguising it as your “vision for Malawi?” Now you are crying foul?? Komanso ma gays mumapepela Choncho?

  24. I didn’t realize that JB had so much power to make a grown man cry !!!!! Viva JB inu mtima mmalo Mathanyula akodzedwa

  25. The American Supreme Court has just ruled in favor of gay marriages Mathanyula go back to where you came from ASAP your partner you left behind is ecstatic

  26. Palibe nkhani apa a pitala! You all use the same cook book – Muluzi, Bingu, JB, and now yourself all have the same corrupt blood running in your veins!

  27. How do you expect to be on the same table with your predecessor when everybody knows that you rigged the election ?

  28. what we need is accountability and transparency if we are to develop Mr president. If you can notice and I am glad you went to Mozambique because Mozambican leaders are not as corrupt as you are. Your government if full of looters including yourself. You must lead by example. Don’t expect others to be humble when you are the opposite.

  29. Was Renamo leader available? That is why we say our president knows nothing about African politics. Things are not ok in Mozambique. Renamo won 7 provincial votes and Nyusi got 3 but was declared president. We know current affairs better than u. U need to be updated my president

  30. Pointing fingers at JB will never solve anything.JB has already exiled herself in foreign lands waiting for any sorts of accolade passing thru her feet.What we are interested is how about all these billions vanished during your brother’s reign which you were part of.This crap of JB is useless for Malawians.Running a country is very very serious business as atcheya used to say.Mumangodziwa kubera mavoti.Munya simunati.We need to hear that all those people who stole billions have been arrested.We are not interested to hear about your fake Olive branch while you are enriching yourself in old age like your brother who stole massively from Malawi.Talk sense please.

  31. AYI BAMBO ZANGOKUVUTANI. M’MAYETSA ACHIMWENE ANU ANANGONAMIZILA KUKOMOKA? NOW IT IS YOUR TIME TO FACE THE REALITIES OF LIFE.

  32. There is no forex at commercial banks is this the beginning of the old times forex palibe ma exporters akuchita hoard chifukwa RBM ngati exportes can retain 100% export proceeds. this is going to make the kwacha go

  33. What about the successor hiring thugs to kill madam JB? And the successor not offering an olive hand to share one table with the predecessor? The successor demonising the predecessor, is that not envy? What we need is the cash gate report of 577 billion not that nosense, please me president. Since you dubiousily won the elections, you have been busy torturing, castigating the mighty JB. Tell us the true report of the cash gate as we did with the Baker Tilly one. We did not produce data analysed report but a full report of the audit and why are you twisting the report. Mama was honest and transparent. What are doing Peter? IFE Tatopa nawe iwe!

  34. MR Ibu bwanji , nzeru zakuthera eti…ku AU summit waphunzilako zimenezozo basi…kungosika ndege basi National address ikhale nkhani ya JB…MSONKHO WANGA INEEEE…

  35. This is yet another insult to journalists. Shows he looks down upon them. I hope there’ll be a robust response from the independent media.

  36. Nonse a PP munya simunati mpaka 2024, inu munali kuti musakabera. Tibelanso mpaka Chilima azakhalenso president kkkkTazilirani choncho. Kkkkk

  37. Above all the president does not appreciate that the political landscape of Mozambique and Malawi is different. In Mozambique it has been the same party winning the elections and therefore less scandals while as here at home, it is different parties winning. How could a Felerimo candidate scandalize a fellow Felerimo__

  38. Za uhulezo ayi. Kodi abale mukuona bwanji network ya TNM ikobowa zedi siikumveka komanso Airtel sakuchotsera discount ija aleka. We want another company to provide us these services. Mukuona bwanji?

  39. This president is an old fool. Please take him for checkup or mental assesment, does he know what is right and wrong? He is intrument in shelding introduction of fedral govornment which can bring unity and development yet he is busy talking rubbish. Please God remove weaked leadership on out of our face and unite us.

  40. Is it age or dullness? How many of her functions did you attend after being invited? You even failed on the most important meet when she was consulting on Lake Malawi wrangle with Tanzania. You showed that you are not patriotic. When under external threat people unite to find solution. But not with you. It is you who have an array of damage writers to JB’s character.

  41. Kusiya zakale ndikuyamba za tsopano ndibwino ,dziwani kuti anthu akudukira kwa inu apulezidenti.ife ndi achina didimas amu baibulo aja kopanda choti Wone ndimaso athuwa kulibe kukutamani ayi.lolani ntchito dzamanja anu dzikuchitileni umboni, kaya mundimva tsinatukwane ayi.

  45. Achitsiru awa! Asowa chonena. If JB is doing bad publicity, what are you doing now? Many people are writing about your failures on the net. Don’t you think globally people do read that? inu mukulimbana ndi JB mpaka kulephera kumwa naye madzi! Munyeredwa. Was it JB who flew the corpse of Daniel Phiri to South Africa on the pretext that he was no dead? Umafuna upresident woberawo ndiye ndi umenewo. Everybody knows that without ka Ben Phiri kabathwa kaja ukanasowa pogwira. No wonder he calls himself prime minister. Yatsala ndi cardiac arrest Gertude adzalilre ndi kukodzedwa. Shupit zako galu iwe. Muoneni! Nkhope ngati kuthako kwa nkhumba

  46. YOUR EXCELLENCY SIR, PEOPLE WHO HAVE SURROUNDED YOU ARE NOT HELPING YOU. FOR SURE JB CAN BE BUSY PAYING JORNALIST TO TURNISH UR IMAGE? BUT THE IS IN SA & OUR JORMALIST ARE PRINCIPALED THAT THEY CAN’T RECEIVE BRIBES. WHEN YOU GAVE THEM MONEY LAST TIME, THEY DONATED THE MONEY TO CHARITY. WHAT IS TURNISHING YOUR IMAGE IS THE WAY YOU ARE RUNNING GOVT. THIS TIME HOSPITALS ARE RECEIVING LESS THAN MK 3 MILLION & OTHER SECTOR NO FUNDING AT ALL. THESE THINGS ARE TURNISHING UR IMAGE, THEY WILL KILL YOU.

  47. kkkkkkkkkkkk Pitala usandiseketse wayamba kale kulira, ok, kodi unkadiza atolankhani kuti aziyankhula zoipa pa Joyce BANDA. lero dzakubwerera. mulingo omwe umayesa nzako Mulungu amakuyesanso omwewo. Wooooo

  48. Peter Is A Failure,mafumu Out,mortuary Fees Etc,dont Point Fingers At Anyone,you Lack leadership put Yr.House In Order…K577bn under the carpet,how do we unite & develop.like this….ie celebrations k300m & mombera university k200m only.Not Serious And Really hot Issue A Weak Man At It

  49. Kodi Peter amaganiza bwanji, iwowa mesa adachita kubera mavoti, ndiye akayerekeze ndi Mozambique? Kuno mumalumbiritsana ku court masiku ochepa kuwopa chani, palibe chikumveka apa zabwino mukufuna alembe za inu ndi ziti? Zaka zikupita zikuwonetsa kuti you are failing to rule this country ndiye mavoti aja akuthawani sure

  50. NO!NO!no! Mr. President tell us something impressive. You have the whole state information machinery with you , how can you be outdone by an individual???? Really!!! There must be some other better reasons behind your perceived bad publicity! For sure it is not JB.

  51. Peter you are so stupid and thoughtless and nowonder you are failing to govern yhis country.How can you compare things that are not the same?For a start are you aware that all these three are from the same party? Are you aware that they handed over power to each other within the party first and then went on to win and Not steal the elections.You can not compare this situation to the one that we had between you and JB.You indeed are a fool

  52. A real man does not fight with a woman. The Ngwazi respected women. Whats wrong with the Mutharikas always contemptuous of women.

  53. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN CHANGE OF GOVERNMENT IN MOZAMBIQUE. IT IS THE SAME FRELIMO PARTY THAT HAS BEEN IN POWER SINCE INDEPENDENCE AND THE PRESIDENTS YOU ARE REFERRING TO BELONG TO THE SAME PARTY, ONCE THEIR TERM IN OFFICE IS OVER THEY HANDOVER POWER TO SOMEONE. WOULDN’T YOU ATTEND SWEARING IN CEREMONY OF CHILIMA.

  54. Guess who’s talking togetherness and yet he’s full of nepotism and tribalism in his government !! You are the one who needs to learn !! Mandasi !!

  55. The President should not FORGET that all former Presidents of Mozambique come from the SAME POLITICAL PARTY, and their grooming system is very effective. Here in Malawi we believe in POLOITICAL DISCRIMNATION

  56. APM is afraid of JB shadow. You got power at dawn, in side court chambers after snatching JB convoy. And you expect good publicity. If you antagonize opposition leaders on daily basis, you will harvest fewer votes 2019. APM, all what Malawians need is service delivery on ur promises. And public opinion will automatically change to or favor

  57. If our journalists are that cheap to accept money from JB, why did they refuse to be bribed by your government? Talk facts Mr President. Cheap minds discuss people. We want a president who addresses issues not people. You have failed. JUST RESIGN & GO BACK TO USA!

  58. Yeah right! When anything goes wrong in DPP, Joyce Banda is to blame. They have forgotten things started going wrong when Bingu was in power. Give it a rest Peter!

  59. Normally a Mutharika complaint can be dismissed quickly. They “protest too much”. But this one about Joyce Banda has some truth in it. Why IS it that former-presidents of Malawi, and former-ministers NEVER give Malawi the benefit of their experience in politics after they have lost power? They merely disappear from Malawi on lecture-circuits and complain from the outside. This (it seems to me) is why Malawi never progresses and why APM is right to complain about JB’s sniping.

  60. Kodi where did Peter do his law studies? Every time he opens his mouth, he always comes out as a dunderhead and a fool . Malawi is a very unfortunate country .

  61. HIS execellency,bribe anyone you wnt,u got the power and the money!!..a JB woh daluza olo atatani ngoluzabe,as far as aliese be itsupporter wanu or otsutsa is conerned.YOU are the president BASI. k92 billion yo apite akafukule manda a Bingu akatenge.or adikile mukazatuluka boma ndipamene azakukwenyeni pakadali pano,adye makala amoto…
    VIVA APM

  62. Bwana President koma ndiye mukunyozedwatu. I hope your advisers show you these adverse comments.

  63. Malawians lets learn to respect leaders because they are chosen by God.Seek God and our worries will finished.
    Work hard in the field and the offices our needs will be very close.

  64. Joyce Banda has moved on, so leave her alone. I don’t understand the word unity is coming from President Professor Peter Muthalika himself. This president is confused. So he forgot already what he said about Hon. Henry Chimunthu Banda. Muthalika is the one who is dividing the country. 97% of his cabinet is from the south. 90% of the government system is from his lomwe belt. 85% of all the diplomats sent to represent us, all are from the south. 80% of students in our public universities are from the south. So who is dividing the country Mr. President? Joyce Banda she did unit us. How many government functions organized by Joyce Banda, President Muthalika attended? I can’t remember. Until today Malawians don’t understand why the Muthalikas hate Joyce Banda so much?

  65. Kodi mmene munkaba Mk577bn munali ndi JB??? Inu munapakula mzanu anasolora. Tsono poti ndinu mbava zokhazokha ndiye muthana nokha basi.

  66. Peter Mathanyula kkkkkk you can see from the comments that all is not well with you. Its been time since Joyce Banda left the country and we didn’t know that someone at State House is still having sleepless nights because of her kkkkkkk. So what if she were in the country? Those Mozambicans you are referring to never stole votes from each other, never tried to snatch government from backdoor and most of all they are all from the same party. How much did you score in history? Am sure its a statement and some people had the guts to vote for you as president??? What a shame. Stop embarrassing us (Malawians) with your senseless rattlings. Develop the country, period!!!!

  67. South African Mail and Guardian has exposed today that the missing Malawi millions from cashgate are in S.A. Our former president is in SA, Lutepo said that the main beneficially of the missing millions is our former president who is in SA. Our current president is saying that our former president is paying journalists to write bad things about him. The connections are just too much. PP had a meeting recently in SA. Phwiyo is getting medical help in SA. Thuso group mentioned in Baker Tilly as having received K1.9 billion from Malawi Army is based in SA and from their website they are a construction and event management company not an arms supplier or contractor. Our former president JB owns many houses in SA. General Odillo instructed David Kandoje to externalise R30 million to standard bank SA for what? why do these people love SA more than their own country and yet they dont make money in SA but the money was made in Malawi?

  68. Lame excuse! How can the media write better things if you are doing bad things? You dont deserve any better media back up. Poor APM! Poor DPP. Do you get advised?

  69. Bwana president, you have, at ur disposal, the minister of information, mbc, advisor on communication, galaxy radio, joy radio, malawi voice, public relations experts in your press office, state house, and some commentators and journalists on ur payroll. Are all these failing to sell your positive vision for malawi??? Are u acknowledging they are failing to do what you expect them to even with taxpayers resources?
    On another point, what good story do you want the journalists to write? Was it the journalists who burned the ballot papers? Was it them who decided to sell msb? Was it the journalists who possessed udf mps to cross the floor? Was it the wives of the journalists who took money from nac??
    Your late brother might have been cocky but he had a vision and malawians believed him. Importantly your brother worked with people who were genuinely loyal and they knew their roles in bingu’s grand vision. Ntata, ntaba, sawerengera, malopa, kaliati, msaka were central to bingu’s vision and its execution. Today even mbc has no good story to tell about you. In case you dont know peopl are saying if it wasnt for cashgate, JB was a far much better president than the cluelessness that we see today. How can a whole minister go through a personal assistant to meet you, when we have a vice president and a chief secretary? Koma mumaliza teremuyi anamwenye???

  70. You really can’t be serious to be saying that Malawi should learn from Mozambique politics. Just shows how little our learned professor knows about our neighbour! Does he really know that in Mozambique, RENAMO, the opposition, is demanding that the country should be divided so that a part of it is ruled by them? Is that the politics we should have here?

  71. Am telling you my fellow Malawians that this time God has turned his back on us, how did we get this foolish president. you are failing to come up with good development and blame it on a lady, hahahahahaha iyiyi ndiye ndi mbutuma yeniyeni, chizete, chindele chakufikapo. May you our high most God remove this so called president and take him to hell, Stupid pyiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

  72. Mr president you better shut up your mouth. You are failing to run the country. Is it JB who is making your rust brain to function? The truth of the matter is that you are the most clueless president among the 5 presidents who have ruled Malawi. It would be better if could peacefully resign from your position or you can pretend as if you are resigning on health grounds. Your useless leadership will not take Malawi anywhere.

  73. Point of order mr self attained president, you r the one who is a problem. U engineered ur party to dismiss JB. U wanted to ascend to power after Bingu dispite be aware of the constitution. U belonged to different colours/parties. unabela mavote. U wr the one bribinng jounalist. Now and then u talk shit of JB. After u were dubiuosly crowned u did not call for reconciliation. If u r failing dont point a finger on others while the other four point on u. All this is because of how u ascended into power ndipo zipitilira kukusokonekerani. Koma ndiye unanyasa ndi mtima omwe.

  74. 1. Peter and DPP you stole the elections no questions about it, Announcing results while people are asleep and swearing in at night are just evidence of the theft you did.
    2. Joyce Banda is not paying journalists. So far evidence available suggests you are the one doing it.
    3. Joyce Banda is not president anymore, you are the president Peter, courtesy of vote stealing. Manage Malawi and produce results. Things are falling apart because of your incompetence and Joyce has no hand in that.

  75. Zaziii wakhuta mowa eti nthawi ikutha ndikudandaula akulu mupangapo kanthu koma paudindowo ine ndayamba kukayika ndithu.. almbe wa News koma JB. Munthu abe ndimfuti koma JB… Mvula ivute koma JB… kukhululka ngongole ku MSB koma JB…. kodi akuyendesa dziko ndani unya uiona wangoti milomo shepetuuuuuuuu

  76. Politics a dirty game they pretend to enve and have attitudes amongst them but they do folk and meet nkumagawana ukemelero

  77. Pitala, you are a failure. Mwayamba kulimbana ndi mzimayi? Achimwene anu anakusiyirani vision yabwinobwino koma mukukanika. Ufa imfa yowawa pompano

  78. Ngati munatenga boma mwachilungamo simuvutika kulamulira, koma ngati simunatenge mwachilungamo mumva kuwawa. This is just the beginning. Prophesy come true. Musalire a APM.

  79. I doubt if my president (P) is an honest man.
    He shared the same podium with leader of opposition (LOP) during HTD motors inaugural ceremony and he shamelessly ignored LOP; now for the same man to start complaining about lack of harmony among leaders is a complete fallacy.
    My P needs to man up and face challenges head-on and lead a poverty-stricken society where hate, jealousy and all sorts of immorality are flourishing. Remember, you cannot conquer the prevailing challenges in our society alone or with your tribesmen only, you will be exhausted and feel frustrated. Unfortunately, continual attacks on (blaming) JB is a sign of intolerance on the part of my resident. I wish my president well.

  80. Unexpected rainfall forces goats and sheeps to shelter under one roof after the rain is finish is when it realises which belong to, kikkkkkkkk easy man.

  81. This because Muluzi and AKB did not work together ; Muluzi and Malewezi did not work together; Bingu and Cassim did not work together; Bingu and Joyce did not work together ; and peter and Chilima are not working together. Basitu

  82. In one of the interviews with the international media JB told the reporter that one of the reason she is on a long leave outside Malawi is because she wanted to give the new Govt space without interference from the outgoing leadership she did not want to be blamed for any failures by the new Government. Now JB is vindicated because even after trying so hard to stay away Mr. president is still crying out like a baby.

    We saw with our own eyes the envelopes paid to journalists in Sanjika palace nde amayiwa akumakapelekera kuti makobidi Mr president?

    Let JB rest in peace and for once try to focus on what is expected from you Moya please. Nanga anthu aku Phalombe anakuvoterani akuukirani aja ndi amayinso awatuma?

  83. Mr president chibale kapena ulemu sichinthu chopempha ai!Zidzabwera zokha chifukwa chamakhalidwe anu.

  84. Pitala Wangotalika, That would have been the situation if your brother, Bingu did not dump UDF the party which ushered him into power to form this manyi a Chipani called DPP

  85. Malawians cry everyday in various parts of the world. There is never a day since 1994 we have had joy that our country is developing.we are going down. controversies will never help out. plus these people do not know God. hypocrisy

  86. What the president is saying is true but he himself, should refrain from pointing others instead be exemplary. iyenso wangapo zogula atola nkhani.

  87. Looting a huge amount of tax payers money like that is unacceptable.Its better you release all petty thieves you keep in the jails while real culprits are sitting phwii on their tables dining and wining.whats the use of reserve bank?auditors and all those government employees?resign all of you and lets start from scratch.Umbanda wa mma tie

  88. It is unfortunate for the president to make such statements whilst forgetting what his brother Bingu did to Bakili when Bakili did all things possible to ensure that Bingo got the presidency.

  89. Mutharika you are a failure…. A thief… Malawians can see you for who you really are!….Do you know what an Ive Branch looks like?

  90. A APM, zikukuvutani ndithu. Musanamizire wina. For one year palibe chimene tikuwona mukuchita. Kuyankhula kwenikweniku ayi. Kudzudzula mbava ayi. It is like there is no president in this country.

  91. This Arthur Peter Mutharika ndi mtchonadi eti? Can’t he understand that Mozambique has not changed governments? Doesnt he know kuti it has been the same party, FRELIMO all through, koma just the presidents who have changed?

    Our case here is different. Kuno boma lasintha from MCP to UDF to DPD (backdoor) to PP (backdoor) to DPP (rigging). How do you expect MCP or PP to wish you good mutawabela ma voti?

    He is dull and lacks analytical skills

  92. This is completely foolish from the president and i would also say foolish from the head of family accusing his sons and daughters of not accepting that he is their father. The job to bring Joyce Banda close to him is the president. It is Peter Mutharika who is wrong here.

  93. A president, do not be obsessed with your predecessor. Set your targets and sights on your own performance which is at the moment abysmal.

  94. Jealousy is an ugly trait Mr President. You are by far the worst president Malawi has ever had.

  95. Arther Peter Muthalika, you must be some dull President. Cant you understand that Mozambique has never changed governments, it is the same party FRELIMO which is in power, its only the presidents who change? The Malawi scenario is different Mtchona Iwe!!! Kamuzu MCP, Muluzi UDF, Bingu DPP, Joyce Banda PP, then you Nyapaphi DPP. Where does unity come from utabela mavoti?

  96. Komadi amenewa ndi a president? Bwanji angokhala ngati ali pa chipako pa mnchenga kusewera ndi ana? I miss my Kamuzu bad, no nonsense!!!!!

  97. Corruption is as bad / evil as terrorism

    These perpetrators of corruption have to be ferried to the International Tribunal To Be Tried And Hanged Without Mercy

  98. hahahahahaha, komaaaaa… Iyi nde mbuzi yeniyeni. Abale chonde tayamankhulanikoni za nzeru chonde. Trash trash trash!!!

  99. Does APM really hold the morals to attack JB? Did he win the elections? Maybe, that’s not a big deal in African politics but what initiatives has he taken since becoming presidents to come into terms with JB? Has he ever invited her for talks and concede that he really did rig the elections but that bygones must be bygones? I though he ought to be the first to invite the agonized and discuss their differences amicably for the general good of the country. By stating this openly, isn’t APM adding insults to the injury? Is it not within his means to bring JB and Muluzi to a roundtable and chat out the way forward for a united Malawi? What APM might have forgotten is that Mozambique has been ruled by one party since independence. Does he expect people from the same party to quarrel?

    1. Tsopano vuto lako ndi chiani – itel si phone? Ukhonza kukhala ndi Samsung yodhula koma chonsecho ukukhalira kukwela minibus, pamenepo mzako wa itel’yo ali ndi galimoto yake. Ukanango peleka mfundo zowatetezera ambuya akowo, osati kumasimbwa zama phone.

  100. Eee koma mmai uyu eti wawapatsanso ndalama aja amapanga audit za 92billon. Kuti asatulutse report koma abale huu. Zikumvekanso ngati JB wamunyemela Muntharika, Goodol ndi auditor wathu wamkuluyi kuti boma lisayerekeze kutulutsa report la cash gate. Zomwe akunena apulezidenti ndi zowona mmaiyu wawanyemeranso aku road traffic kuti akweze mitengo yonkhomela ma license ama driver. Komanso wawanyemera apolisi azigwilizana ndi mbava cholinga anthu aziti kulibe chitetezo. Dzulodzulo lomweri amawawuza a traffic ndi a mma roadblock kuti awonjeze ziphuphu. Ooo ndinayiwala anamunyemeranso mkulu wa ant corruption kuti abise cc tv footage yomwe analindira kwa Nankhumwa. Olotu ndalama zomwe a Munthalika anawapatsa atola nkhani zija anachita kupatsiridwa ndi Joice Banda. Akufuna ife tiziti A.P Muntharika walemphera ng’oo. Professor simumuntha.

  101. The president is talking trash. Is it not you who went flat out to burn the entire warehouse full of votes to avoid a recount? Now that you succeeded in stealing votes and became president what are you bitching about? What has joice Banda to do with your indecisions, clueless leadership? We have a hypocrite of a president at the state house.

  102. Ndinu mamuna musamalimbane ndi Mkazi ngati zikulephereka si Joice ayi ndinokha chifukwa munayamba ndikuzipopa

  103. well fed people are happy people. after nearly 30 years of war, mozambique is now the shining star of southern african development because of umunthu and kuopa mulungu. mpake kuchezela limodzi ma president atatu.

    ife sitinakhaleko pa nkhondo ngati anzathuwa koma we’re the poorest country on earth.

  104. Change the system of swearing in ceremony before counting is finished. Give it a one month preparation for cerebrations not as if someone is a thief. How do you kulumbilitsidwidwa mbanda kucha and you think dignitaries can come to grace the occasion.

  105. Oooooh thus why Tenthani is gone. Mr president you are trying to justify that Tenthani was on jb’s pay roll and you were left with no option but to organise an accident.Mfiti amaganiza ngati aliyense amatamba usiku the same with you Mr so called president you bribed journalists and you think everyone does the same. Mr president we are not poor because of what you have said its because of your theft in the executive just imagine from 2009 to 2012 K577 billion was unaccounted for from the treasury and this does not include the jb’s tenure cash gate (13 billion). Don’t think this is good news to tax payers we are furious and frustrated because the figures are insanely huge and due to the frustration I have to call you foolish and stupid because you want to divert our attention on rampant corruption which has led to enormous poverty in our country.

  106. Will APM ever say something sensible? The Mozambican presidents he is referring to are all from the same party . They never competed against each other in national elections . If Felipe Nyusi was sitting and dining with Alfonso Dhlakama on the same table, then that would be something worth mentioning at the airport press conference . And I’m sure when APM made this brainless statement at KIA, all the stupid cabinet handclappers were busy competing with one another in hand clapping and head nodding . Poor Malawi! !

  107. Shupit. Unabera zisankho. Unkafunaso kulanda boma. So how can you expect the two of you to sit side by side. Remember ngozi munamulengera Joyce Banda pa Kanengo. Think before you speak.

    1. This same idiot did that. Just because he tried to bribe journos, he thinks every one buys journos. Look at him!

  108. You are not being honest Mr. President. May be you want to give her the CCTV from state house.

    Blame yourself. Actually you don’t treat her as a former president as a result she is forced to seek peace in other countries. After all what was said about her, what do you expect. You are saying she bad so don’t associate with bad people.

    Take it all and be happy.

  109. What have you done to enjoy good publicity? JB doesnt need to pay any journalist a cent to write about you; whether good or bad-you do bad all by yourself- you behave like a caretaker President- as if you are waiting for someone to take over from you. Your brother enjoyed some good publicity because he was engaged with the local populace. At least he gave us good roads and we would see him going out and discussing issues that affect us. He would stand on the podium and articulate his vision. If you continue sitting phwii in state house nkumangotisuzumira ife pa window, dont expect good publicity!!

  110. hahahah!Joyce Banda is outside and you are blaming her for failing to run the country what more is she comes,will you stand the heat?Peter you are a failure

  111. Frelimo Chissano handed power to Frelimo Gebuza and thereafter Frelimo Gebuza hand power to Frelimo Nyusi. They are all cronies from one political party. It would been different if there was Alfonso Dlakama in the potrait you have painted. Chissano, Gebuza and Nyusi sitting together is not mind-blowing. Aren’t the very person who tried to prevent JB becoming president?

    1. Bob, just ignore this idiot. Every time he opens his mouth, what emanates is trash. Somebody needs to tell him to lock his mouth. I feel pity for those that had to suffer the pain of this goon being their lecturer.

  112. Hahaha…kuteroko Joyce simupuma naye bwino. Pangani chitukuko tidzakunyadirani koma kumangokhala clueless nkumaloza ma accomplished projects a achimwene anu ndiye AYI!
    I MISS the muckraker.
