Bishops Bvumbwe, Malasa refuse to comment on mother bodies stand backing PAC

A critic of Public Affairs Committee (PAC) former vice-chairperson Bishop Joseph Bvumbwe of Evangelical Church has refused to comment on a stand by the quasi-religious organisation’s mother bodies to back the body following reports of cracks among the member organisations.

Bishop Joseph Bvumbwe: Critic of PAC

There have been reports that a splinter group of Bvube,  Bisop Brightson Malasa of the Anglivan Church’s Upper Shire Diocese and Reverend Alex Maulana, general secretary of the CCAP Blantyre Synod was being established

The three pro-government faith leaders argue that the quasi-religious body has departed from its initial values.

But the mother bodies  to which the three belonghave come out to defend the religious institution.

The bodies have also refuted allegations that some of them have withdrawn their membership from the institution because it has departed from its original mandate.

The five are Episcopal Conference of Malawi (ECM), Evangelical Association of Malawi (EAM), Malawi Council of Churches (MCC), Muslim Association of Malawi (MAM) and Quadria Muslim Association of Malawi (QMAM).

The bodies said in a statement, PAC has only five mother bodies and not eight as purported by some quarters prior to the 5+1 All-Inclusive Stakeholders Conference held on June 7 and 8 this year.

“We further wish to point out that mother bodies have never been excluded in PAC decision-making because they are constitutionally involved at PAC governance level as far as decision-making process is concerned,” reads the statement signed by all chairpersons and general secretaries of the five mother bodies.

The mother bodies quashed criticism, saying all decisions taken by the organisation have their endorsement through the board of trustees and general secretaries.

Bvumbe  could not immediately comment on the position taken by the mother bodies.

“I can not talk about the statement which I have not seen,” he said.

And Bishop Malasa also refused to comment.

“Let me comment later when I see the statement,” said Malasa.

Maulana could not be reached to comment on his position.

    1. No we are not in PAC and we have never been interested. Why do you ask? You want us to be in PAC?

  1. Change of times. Good that my Catholic Bishops went to school and they don’t want to

    be used anyhow. They stand by the truth
    .

  2. Ma Bishop wa PAC akuizembayi nkumaiputsitsa adzaifuna. Ndale zimasintha Zinthu zimasintha kwa ena temporarily kwa ena permanently. Only God knows knows the inner motives of these men of God. And since it is in public at the appropriate time chosen by God He will also answer in public. But for now we can not know for sure but time will come only Him knows.

  3. all the three seized to speak for Malawians.they are feeding on the same taxpayers money.As for my CCAP Rev Maulana is more or less Dpp campaign director. Dpp sponsored his campaign to become GS for our synod.He cant even preach the truth we knew him of.BETRAYER OF THE HIGHEST ORDER.

  4. Don’t worry about Bvumbe and colleagues. They are part to the problems and you want to turn them into part of solution. Never and never because they are benefiting out of Malawians’ sufferings.

  5. Now if we look at how the donors and financial institutions are responding to the leadership of this country, is PAC not ashamed of what it was preaching to us? It was not PAC speaking, but Mulomole of MCP and Chingota of PP. These two men should not use the institution for their personal agenda. Whatever the case this leadership of PAC has proved to be the worst since 1994. Chingota and Mulomole cannot point at any achievement during their tenure of office. The opposition has been using it left and right as if its leaders are kindergatten school goers. Its respect has been lost for good. What Malasa, Maulana, and Chabulika were saying remains true because it is backed by what is on the ground. PAC can not fool all Malawians. Let the group fool opposition supporters giving them hope that they will win the 2019 elections. The opposition is now run out of ideas that’s why it is relying on PAC as if this PAC is influencial to all Malawians.

  6. Judas Iscariot was one of the 12 Apostles. Betrayals of truth have been there since time immemorial. There are many leaders in the church who wear the Judas’ jacket. Go back to the early days of Bakili Muluzi, men in clerical shirts encouraged us in church to vote for ‘Wakuba Yemweyo’.
    The government is also aware how greedy the church leaders are. They are being used left and right and they are getting support from dirty man. Civil servants cannot afford to receive even an allowance of MK20,000 but these church leaders are getting millions. This culture we are in is eating us, craving for money.

  7. Bishop Bvumbwe was appointed chairman of MERA by the same government being attacked by PAC. Do we bite the finger that is feeding us? Do not be surprised by his action. He is not the kind of Prophet Daniel who refused the king’s delicacies. Honestly if I were him, I would have been in the same predicament. Chi Prado cha a Chair, vima siting’i alawansi….iyaaa.

  8. Useless, how can they refute. If they are pro-govt let them be and time will come their govt they support which is making no any head way to Malawians will go and we will see their positions.
