Atupele dares Chakwera on K1.3 trillion theft: Pledges support to graft fight in Malawi
United Democratic Front (UDF) leader Atupele Muluzi says President Lazarus Chakwera should present evidence to the courts regarding the revelations that about K1.3 trillion was stolen during the Peter Mutharika’s administration.
Writing on his Facebook account, Atupele said while he commends Chakwera for his stance against corruption, there is need for full disclosure and evidence by the President as to how he was informed of such an alarmingly high figure.
“Considering the annual budget of Malawi hovering around the same figure and considering that Malawi is on an IMF/World Bank program, this needs to be further explained.
“Following the discovery of ‘cashgate’ theft during president Joyce Banda’s administration we had anticipated that we had sufficient checks and balances in place to have detected the plunder of such large sums,” he said.
Atupele has since pledged his full support in fighting corruption in the country.
On his part, Chakwera, who won a historic victory over Mutharika in June, has vowed to “clear the rubble” of corruption within the government.
Since taking office, Chakwera, 65, has launched investigations into some of the deals agreed by the previous government, suspending contracts.
A number of arrests are taking place targeting officials of the former government.
Chakwera, a former Pentecostal church leader, says he does not want to be seen to target political rivals in his anti-corruption drive.
Instead, he said the law should take its course.
sit down cipwadza iwe cizizi
It’s time his father Bakili was taken back to court over the 1.7 billion Kwacha he stole. His father has always been a thief, right from the one party era. Do you remember that he served time in prison for stealing some ‘shilings’? Do you think his son Atupele is a saint? Like father like son.
Iweyo Atupele a bambo ako sanabe ? mbanva zoha zokha. WAMUHAZIKA PANSI MWANA. BAMBO AKO MBUZI YENI YENI INA ILI KU MANGOCHIKU
Burutu uyu… opanda oloko 100grams ya nzeru. Iwe, you are now supposed to just sit in one corner and shut up. First Tell us how did ur mbava father steal 1.7 Billion. It doesn’t suit a mbava’s son to talk nonsense like this. Just accept and come to the reality terms that you are failed moron. PERIOD!. Totally an empty tinhead.
Atupele was in government after the cashgate. How can he talk of sufficient checks and balances when the government he was part of did not put such structures in place? Apa palibe mfundo.
Atupele would do better asking his father Bakili Muluzi the King of Corruption, about corruption and how much Bakili stole. Only then can we take him seriously. Otherwise Atupele a party leader who failed to win a seat in parliament as an MP should look and learn.
koma inu atupele.ndi chisiru cha munthu. Monga sakudziwa kuti ma auditors ndi omwe ampasa chakwera report limenero? Ndiye report la Boma chakwera akapereke court lake liti, ndipo azikanena kuti chani? Akangosiya report pa reception ? Mbuzi ya munthu
When pipo were saying Dpp ikuba amakana so this Atupere asatitopese , he is completely blank no info about Malawi . Go and lest ku mangochi
1.3m Trillion in just years years doesnt make sense
But how much? tell us.
it does make sense, and this is the reason why Bingu said Malawi can run its budget without aid, because he knew that a lot of money, more than the budget is rooted in country.
Clearly this guy is a dunderhead. How do you present evidence to the courts when you haven’t presented a case????
A court azitani nayo evidence yo???
Atupele is a genius. You can’t lose a whole annual national budget disappear in just two years and still have a government running. Chakwera should learn to read audit report properly.
Government can still run because revenue collection is not fixed bwiyache
In fact the govt borrows throughout the year
So tell us how much did DPP steal from gvt coffers If K1.3tr is too much.
Chakwera was talking about a period spanning 6 years.
ATUPELE MULUZI ungozipatsa ulemu komwe ukukhalako ndithu, iwenso uli ndi nkhani ya malo omwe udagulitsa pa nthawi yomwe unali Min of Lands LIVIMBO xuul scandle khala pheee ikukwanira nthawi yako, usatisokose
School ikuwavuta awa , he has missed the information ,why attacking the president ,akuona ngati tiakali mu ulamuliro wa DPP ija imakonda za umbava
Kodi Atupele m’mesa ati adaphunzira u Laywer? Nanga bwanji osatsekula office yawo? Akuganizabe zodzakhala a president a Malawi? Angochedwa nazo mpaka abambo awo amwalira
analephera A levels ku St Andrews anakhonza swimming basi. Law degree anagwa nayonso funsani ku Leicester Uni. Osadabwa samapasidwa Ministry of Justice? Amadziwa ma lawyer azimuderera
Atupele, its not the president to provide evidence reports by relevant bodies are already there, its just a question of adding them up. You will soon become irrelevant to Malawi politics because your thinking is handicapped. Malawians are advancing and time for family parties is over!!!!! You and your father have stolen enough of our taxes RIP!!!
Atupele is a genius. How can funds equal to annual national budget disappear in just two years. Chakwera should have used common sense to see that the figures he mentioned don’t add up.
Miss Atupele Muluzi trying to make a comeback!
Awanso awa, zopepela basi! Ngati cement yokhayi inakwana 5 billion kwachas, ndiye pa 6 years? Atupele is just trying hard relevant again. Mwina coronavirus yomweyi simukanathawiranso ku China inu, kkkk
Just shut up. You are finished with the nkhalamba that you partnered with. Your father is the biggest thief we want behind the bars.
We live in a society where people indeed believe anything said without need for evidence. Even at personal levels we have at times witnessed this. Bwana get proper audit reports and start mentioning figures.Make the necessary arrests and get the stolen money back
Atupele you should know that even a single tambala is important for poor Malawian this corruption was brought by UDF and tamed by DPP , that’s why during your campaign you never talked about ending corruption and its evil, together with DPP since you benefited from it, Its unfortunate that you still denying that there was no corruption, may God open your senses
Even if it was K1.7 Billion amangidwe basi. Anabela amalawi. Sitikufuna mukamalimbana u pulezidenti muziganiza mukabamo muboma. Inu a Atupele mumafuna muzikaba ndi bambo anu aja.
Mwana was mbava yaikulu angatiuze chani Inu,
China chomwe uli nacho ndichakuba abambo ako, tangokhalani chete apa,
Mufuna muzilimbana ndi president?
1.4bn tikuifuna, umangitsa state akotu, do you think the president can speek to the nation without evidence?
Shame on you baby atu
Koma Ana okulira kumpanda amakhala ozelezeka chonchi????
If you father was poor and an idiot don’t hate. Chivomerezeni
I grew up to be a productive citizen with good sense and don’t depended on my father to give me ill conceived advice, and my Father was never a thief and my mother never cheated with her body guard!
We were poor but very happy and lead a normal life, that’s why our mother analibe nthawi to have sex ndi mlonda wawo
Atupele and his father are the worst thieves! Let them be arrested too!
Atupele usatinyanse. Pita ku China ku sukulu ya correspondance ija umakalepherayi. Kodi ndalama za convoy udatibwezera. Umayenda ndi convoy ngati udawinako Boma. Unawinako Boma Atupele? ‘……’ wekha unayankha.
I thought Atupele was a lawyer? It is not the President who should provide evidence it’s the prosecutors fool!
I don’t think one needs to hear a word from u idiot Atupele, so distant urself from this. If there’s anything that needs u, u will be called or taken straight from ur residence…
Help the government to retrieve money from your father first then I will believe you want to help fight corruption. And FYI Tupele, the arms responsible for investigating corruption will surely present their findings to the courts and not the president. With so many gaps in your knowledge, it surprises me you were seeking the high office during the past elsections 🤔
Atupele, It’s not for Chakwera to give evidence. Witnesses will give evidence, case by case. Chakwera as servant leader was just reporting to us what the audit reports are saying. So what’s wrong with that. Do you want him to be like Gogo peter mutharika, who was hiding information from us?
Akulu inu tamakutengani ngati anzelu koma mutu wanu unaima inu kuba kochita kuonekelatu mukufuna umboni wanji ngati mulibe chonena chanzelu ndibwino kukhala chete.
Kuala chete Atupele. You must be the last person to comment on this. Your father needs to give back the money he stole. A son of a thief!
Lack of platform. Doubling down finally. Time will tell. Why rushing to have evidence? Don’t worry, it will come. Investigations are ongoing. PLEASE DO NOT INTERFERE.
Mwana wa crook iwe, u’ve got nothing to offer in this country rather than where ur father left plundering this country. Fortsek!
This idiot is speaking out because the figure does not include the K1.7 billion that his dad store from poor Malawians……just keep quite dude, you will soon find out where the number K1.3 billion is coming from.
Chakwera should not and Can not reveal everything to the general public because that will compromise the investigation…..let the police do their job and you will soon find out , just pray that you are not on the list.
The president is hallucinating. No tangible evidence to prove such huge sum of money was stolen. Strange how these African presidents believe lies from their advisors.
Cries of a cadet. Cement gate,
It seems it’s a mis interpretation of audit report.
Even if it was MK100.00 or MK100,000. That does not make it OK to steal.
So do not attempt to minimize this.
The same way it must not be magnified for political gain. However it is important for Malwians to know the truth. Actual truth, arrests to be make and money recovered.
Totally agree, would like to see a true and accurate accounting of the missing money, and that it be recovered.
Atupele trying to be relevant. Just shut up man
His father is next

He a right to contribute his views and it’s true 1.3 trilion ndiyambiri okubawo amaba budget yonse
