Who allowed the refugees to move from Karonga to Dzaleka? The point of entry is Kalonga and they should be kept there and be processed there. Tanzania is a peaceful country, why did they not settle there? The answer is that most of the refugees were trying to reach Jobeki. Now it is much easier to repatriate the refugees from Karonga than Dowa and after all people of Karonga were helping them to get south of Malawi. Now pano azibiba pafupi nanu ndiye mumva kuwawa. As for a Bishopu “Muluzi already said in the past that his hat is suitable… Read more »

The bishop is well-known to be working day and night against government. This is one example of his actions. His fellow bishops do not tow his line, otherwise we should have heard that the Catholic church had agreed to bring down government. His poor decision even forced the Holy See to create a small diocese for the troublesome bishop. He should have been Bishop of Mzuzu as it were. By the way do not hide behind church just retire from priesthood and join politics like Dr Chakwera. we want your philosophy in parliament as quickly as possible.

Well done Bishop, we need people like you. I wonder why Grace and her people want to move refugees who are not troubling anyone from Dowa to Karonga. Villages surrounding the camp rely on the refugees in many ways. Leave the camp alone and give people of Karonga the land. This government has no welfare of people are heart. Build school blocks, provide enough resources in government hospital that spending on this unimportant and exaggerated project.

It is loud and clear. We of Karonga are saying NO. No no no! The paramount is working with government of today and his hands are tied and I speak for him: He says No to refugee camp at Katili. Where will Lwasho, Kilindi, Vokolani go if the green belt materializes? The only place for these lake side villages is Katili. You want them to be refugees in their own land. Find a place somewhere or keep them at Dzaleka till they are dispatched.

Ndinali mlendo koma simunandipatse malo ogona. That said, however, does it have to be Karonga?

I wonder why the government said the camp is causing a harm for the national security because it is located near the capital city. Those refugees stayed in Dzaleka for many years but I have never heard any incident of insecurity they made for Malawi. If they have weapons, did the army fail to catch them? Are refugees criminals? Is the government going to ban all foreigners to live in our countryStop causing troubles to Africans! The government is teaching its to hate foreigners by its explanation of that relocation of the refugees camp. My brothers and sisters Malawians, are… Read more »

Bishop Mtumbuka for once please please have brains. Theses two issues are not the same. While I don’t support the Kaitlin project I also don’t think govt should help those burning each other’s houses.

Indeed charity begins at home. Kyungu is too blind to see the plight of displaced Malawians within Karonga district. He is crying more than the bereaved!
