BB, Nomads buses were bought by State House from Rashy: ‘Abuse of office’
Football analyst Humphrey Mvula described the purchase of buses which domestic football powerhouses—Nyasa Big Bullets and Be Forward Wanderers—got as gifts from immediate past president Peter Mutharika using public resources and not his personal funds as announced earlier by State House, was as abuse of office by the former president.
Former State House press secretary Mgeme Kalilani initially said the buses were bought using Mutharika’s personal money but he has clarified that the buses were bought by State House.
“The correct position was that it was from the President’s Vote in the National budget handled by the State House,” said Kalilani.
Mvula has a since said the purchase of the Higger buses bought from Rashy Motors through a cheque amounting to K300 million from State Residences was “fraudulent behaviour’’ because Mutharika couldn’t have used government money on the pretext of being his own.
Mvula urged the new government to ask the former president to pay back the money.
“I equally wonder how a Higger bus would cost K150 million each,” he said.
Rashy Motors managing director Rashid ‘Rashy’ Gaffar, an ally to Mutharika and member of his Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) confirmed having received payment “from government” on the Higger buses and not Marcopolo luxury coaches.

You told us that the buses were taken from post office …now the story has changed…. which is which?
They should be arrested this is stealing government money and abuse of power by Peter Munthalika. He lied to the citizens that he bought with his money, there is alot of such business done by DPP leaders.
Pay back our money tsotsi Peter & your friends.
We need chilima again to investigate the houses for Peter’s wife @ 6miles Mitundu. Nyenkhwe
These buses cost US Dollar 75,000 each. So both cost US Dollars 150,000 so Rashy charged US Dollars 350,000. Conspiracy to steal on part of Rashy and Mutharika.
Angobweza ma basiwo komanso ndalamazo. The government can be sued for breach of contract and can pay damages which will obviously be nominal as compared to the sums paid for the buses
u khluku pitala .cigogo ici kusakula . unjonda
How is that abuse of power if he didn’t keep them for himself? As president he used he’s authority to direct that funds be made available for the buses to be bought for 2 of Malawis greatest football clubs and pride of our Nation. Wakwiya ndi mfiti
That is the stupidity we always talk here about some Malawians like you fool.Being a president doesn’t mean you can misuse our coffers no.Kaya enanu ndi umbuli kaya.
zativuta…
Seems to me if the clubs have not transfered ownership then they can still be seized and provided to Malawi Post Office who is short two buses because of careless drivers.
No reason so few should benefit when so many are suffering because of a lack of transport. Malawi Post paid 100 million per bus last October. Looking forward to ACB report on this one suggest start deducting from APM’s Pension an seizing bank accounts.
Just incomprehensible APM educated in USA taught in the USA came home to steal from the poorest county in the world rather than return as a donor to up lift lives.
Arrest them all including Ngeme for lying in order to hide the fraudelent behaviour.
This has been the trend since 1964. Kamuzu built academy from government money did we ask him to payback?Doubling of procurement prices from government tenders has been there and will continue. it’s just that now we have new thieves intown inform of Tonse alliance. Check their skeletons Incase you have forgotten. Don’t we have mother cashgate as part of govt now? What about MK9.7 billion payout for the elections case, what the difference with the prices of the buses? No difference when govt is paying invoices get sexed up Malawi style. no wonder the Oldman backtracked on being appointed justice minister because it was connecting the dots. Only the drunk attorney didn’t see it that way. Keep observing very soon bombshell procurements will start appearing everywhere as the new clique embark on self enrichment.
Please show me one person who believed the lie that ” APM bought the buses using his own pocket money”?. This mulandu is very simple and straightforward….abweze basi! Apo bi…timange gogo ameneyu!!
After kuba chinthu chamwini…ukagwidwa, then nkubweza zinthuzo doesnt mean kuti mulandu palibe. Akuluwa olo abweze mabusiwo, or the money doesnt wipe away the crime that was commited in the first place. he can still be sued
It’s just as foolish for these two teams to accept the buses knowing they were acquired fraudulently on tax payers. If you are concerned about being good private organisations with integrity, then do the right thing and return them. You’ll walk with your heads held high rather than defend and justify corruption.
Return them to who now??
Try taking the buses to the Mwenye, and see if he gives you 300 million.
NYANILANDU ALI KUTI KO
Koma wina sazimangilira???? We are draining the swamp!!!!
Rashy ndi mulam u wa sidik palibe chingachitike
Government, please demand money used to buy the buses. Things are not adding up here. That over payment is a huge red flag. That Mwenye inflated the price so he could give the rest of the money to APM. In broad day light people saw millions just walk.
The best price that you can get for Higer Buses is $49000 thats around Mk38,000,000 .
These buses are manufactured in China and Singapore, but mostly in China. The Marketing Agent for the Bus Company in Africa is ALIBABA. So Rushy and Peter Muntharika looted the Money by either increasing the invoice amount.
Government can check the records with the Company Mk300,000,000 its a scam by Peter and Rashy
Very very true. Rashy is big time crook.
The question now becomes, how much of the State House funds has he used to pursue/pay for personal interests.
When you overpay, without looking at the price tag, chances are that is not your own money you are spending in that manner.
Crook buying from even bigger crook. This should be investigated by new Government and examples made.
Why was Rashy used to source the buses in the first place
Mutharika needs to pay back the money including the K145m he received as a bribe from Mmwenye uja. Can this old turd go to prison like yesterday? Atupele also needs to pay back for using government vehicles on his convoy while he was VP of a losing party not our country. He took himself as VP of Malawi.
Atupele sanabadwire mosauka ngati ka tchende Chakwera odalira Ndalama za chipeleka. Mwangosauka muzalira mtsoholo muno tonse alliance yanuyo itasosoka.
Mwaiwala kuti yakuikani pamenepoyo si MCP payokha? Uwauze Atene Ndalama Chakwera yo kuchokera kwa mamuna yemwe amamuchinda nkazi wake ku American nthawi ya campaign ija. Kapena.
What kind of a president?why hiding the truth Mr Peter
How did Malawi end up with this arrogant thief as a president. Did some body say he is a law professor? If indeed he is then it’s pointless studying law.
CHINDERE IWe Mgeme, rest in pixies mwana wamwano
a Mgeme !
Lero limenelo ?
Had it been dpp won the elections you wouldn’t have said this today.
This means you have been stealing govt monies all along but no body questioned you
Shame to you and your boss Apm !!
A Mvula munaba ndalama za stage coach plus muli ku UDF munaba zingati ….zikuphweka kunena anzanu…Inu ndamene munayamvitsa zokuba m boma…
Very true. I am not DPP but this Mvula guy also run down stagecoach. He was running stagecoach just like his estate. If investigated can also answer something. Do not play holy over DPP conduc. Vry true APM has to give back too.
Lack of accountability because we were doing business as usual. Malawi was a personal property
Mvula! If you have nothing to do you better find another way of getting income. There’s no issue here whether the buses were bought by the former president or not. What kind of Malawians are we??? Hey! Why always evil??
Mvula! You want to tell me that you are clean?? You remember what you did with Shire Bus Lines??? You seem to be a useless analyst. If you keep on fucking around we will f..ck. This is Blantyre OK
You must be a fool not to see anything wrong with this transaction. APM needs to be prosecuted to the max and we need the money reimbursed. This is abuse of office to the fullest which will not be tolerated by the present regime. Amangidwe basi
There is an issue. First of all how much money do you have in your bank account?
Secondly, public funds were stolen to purchase these buses at inflated prices.
Mbuyache…there is nothing better to do than exposing big time crooks! They deserve jail and Malawinas deserve development. Mwina inuyo ….do you have something bet6to do than backing thuggery?
Ndinzeru zautsiru ngati zimenezi zikuwononga dziko linu. Kuba ndi kuba basi ndipo wokuba ayenera kulandira chilango. Ngati umboni muli nawo wamunthu aliyense kuti anaba makamaka misonkho ya a Malawi, pinani nawoni kwawofunikira mwawadziwa, kuti alangidwe. Peter Muthalika kaya ndi ndani anu ankolo, agogo, bambo anali antchito a aMalawi. Panali malamulo oyendetsera ntchito yawo. Ngati alibe mulandu asadandawule. Mbava zinachuluka, kuyambira nthawi ya UDF. M’mene ndimapita kovota maganizo anga anali oti Saolosi adutse basi asese dzikoli anthu osauka akhaleko ndi tsogolo labwino.
Anjatidwe amenewo,,,Osawasiya ayi,,,Kuyambira Kalirani mwana wa mfiti,,,
This bus can’t cost 150 million
The State House at that moment was occupied by APM end of quote
We are coming there Mr Mgeme, we don’t need your clarification on this, you are a thief you and your boss, we are taking back our money! You father of liars! I mean just employed just to be steeling from poor Malawians to make your master happy?
From my little knowledge ndinanva kuti presidential vote amatha kugulila chilichonse wafuna bwana. Those who are in the know school us
Still doesn’t mean you have to overpay, does it?
Iwe ndiwe mbuzi yamunthu, “chirichonse”? You really have little knowledge. Go back to school you stupid cadet!
ROT 🇲🇼
Humphreys is correct he knows much about buses he was once the boss at Shire Bus Lines before it went bust during UDG reign
Asking the former president to pay is the beginning of tonse alliance excesses. It will backfire and dpp will become popular. Leave the people’s buses alone. If you want you can also buy buses for nsundwe United fc
Shaaaaa ma Cadet adakali sheeeee mundiwonetse m’modzi 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Iwe ndiwe cadet eti?
KUBA KOKHAKOKHA WUKU..THE RIGHT AMOUNT COULD HAVE BEEN K150,000,000.00 FOR 2BUSES NOT
K350,000,000.00.
Koma Nkhalamba imeneyi abale! Eeeeish akafike ndithu.
We said it, it was for compaign. Chakwera and Chilima may you please take back the money and buy medicine in the Hospital please! K300 million is alot of money for these teams. We can’t hold ourselves to be stupid in the eyes useless Lhomwes! Do it now before it’s too late! Mgeme you are finished my friend,how can you be a carrier of wicked President as young as you are? Useless.
Deduct the funds from Muntharika’s benefits
lhomwe?
Kuba kosachita nako manyazi munthu wa zaka 82. Ukadyera kuti
Ndipo inu aaaa akulu amenewa amaganiza motani? I remember my aunt when she had reached 70 years she told us that we shld enyoy her company as much as we could becoz her days were numbered and two years later she was indeed gone
Mutharika and other mercenaries will be exposed on how they have been looting our taxes boasting as if it’s their personal monies, they will have to pay back our monies, we will not hesitate to jail those thug’s masquerading as leaders,our country has suffered much
