Cabinet reshuffle looms in Malawi: APM wants to appoint 2nd VP

March 6, 2015 Wanga Gwede- Nyasa Times 160 Comments

Anxiety has gripped government official and ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) over a looming cabinet reshuffle amid revelations that United Democratic Front (UDF) and some opposition lawmakers have been pencilled in the proposed changes and that the President may appoint a second vice president.

President Mutharika and Minister Atupele: Agenda for close working relation
President Mutharika and Minister Atupele: Agenda for close working relation

President Peter Mutharika has the prerogative of reshuffling his cabinet and no government official said cannot comment on behalf of the appointing authority.

State House sources say Mutharika wants the position of second vice president be re-introduced, with the holder enjoying equal privileges and other conditions as the incumbent state vice president, Saulos Chilima.

There has been fevered speculation on social media that Minister of Energy Atupele Muluzi is preferred to be named Second Vice President and that three of UDF members will make into cabinet.

UDF recently requested the Speaker to relocate its 14 MPs to government benches to reflect the governing pact of the two parties and the Attorney General (AG) Kalekeni Kaphale has advised Speaker of Parliament Richard Msowoya that UDF can join DPP on government benches .

The impeccable sources confided in Nyasa Times that some of the ministers set to be dropped include Minister of Information Kondwani Nankhumwa, minister of Labour Henry Mussa and Minister of Home Affairs Paul Chibingu.

Others sources indicated that, Jappie Mhango, Grace Obama Chiumia, Allan Chembekeza  are likely to dropped .

But the miniters  were said to be canvassing to be reappointed.

Also being courted is Malawi Parliament’s Budget and Finance Committee chairperson Alekeni Wodala Menyani   of Malawi Congress Party and People’s Party  Mzomera Ngwira and Harry Mkandawires. It is not yet known if they will hired in cabinet.

There is also tension in DPP over the reintroduction of second vice president post and the party rank and file is opposing to the move.

The only holder of the second vice president position was the late Chakufwa Chihana, the then leader of the Alliance for Democracy (Aford). The republican constitution was amended during the second term of the former Head of State Bakili Muluzi to create the position of second vice president and Chihana was appointed on the premise of enhancing national unity.

But the reintroduction of second vice president will defeat the essence of austerity in the lean cabinet, observers noted.

The government is desperate for donor funding to turn around the economy and there has been a so-called “new friends” foreign policy to look at East and other countries such as Russia and North Korea.

Of late there has been a growing list of the President’s aides forced out of State House.

President Mutharika’s aide-de-camp (ADC) Lieutenant Colonel Fostino Gunda-Phiri was on Monday removed from his position joining presidential press secretary Frederick Ndala, presidential secretary Hilda Chapola, personal assistant to the First Lady, Philomena Kasambwe, deputy guard commander a Mr. Chikhungu and second deputy guard commander a Mr. Kabambe out of State House.

The President’s guard commander Duncan Mwapasa is also out of State House after being appointed as Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Malawi Police Service.

  4. Chilima…….blend yourself in MCP we have known that you can deliver. We shall finish off DPP/UDF. Have a few structures in the South and North. We are done.

  7. A Peter musamvele anthu osafunira zabwino dziko, kodi anthunu mungobwebweta mukufuna dziko lizisaukabe? Chomwe mudziwe ndichakuti ndale samadya mwamva. MUTU UMODZI SUSENZA DENGA. Morefire Peter.

  8. The trueth is time for politics has gone, now is the time of development. A Peter? Maso patsogolo. Atupele? Maso !patsogolo mwamau ako aja MUTU UMODZI SUSANNA DENGA. A Peter yendetsani dzikollli

  9. Having a second vp will be suicide for your party. Ben and Bakili are misleading you. Without Atupele coz you are better on your own. 4 years is soon ndipo alas my son

  12. Let Pitala kill the worn out like curtain party Udf.Who cares about Udf anyway?The youngman likes money like his father.Let Pitala use him like a condom and throw it in bin.After all Atupele is not a presidential material.Amangoyenda mkhwapa mwa bambo ake.He is not a self made man like Pitala who got thru that position after his lunatic brother manipulated system.Malawi has not yet have a proper leader.They are all fakes apart from the real genuine Kamuzu who was development conscious for his country.

  14. Since 1994,Muluzi introduced politics of deception.When Bingu was performing when he came to power, Muluzi was not comfortable.What APM wants to do is reward the Muluzis for selecting his brother to become President.It is payback time.

    As a country, fellow Malawians know this:MALAWI will never go ahead as long as any Mutharika/Muluzi comes to power at any time.The time for recycled politicians is over.Next election, lets select a decent, honest person who has the country at heart and is visionary.Even the bible states that where there is no vision,people perish.I wil ask my moslem brothers to find the equivalent in the Quran.We have a clueless government,with no direction, no vision,no thinking.The only way we can go is downhill.Mark my words.Ndangodutsamo

  16. I would like to differ with that person whose trying to undermine Hon. Henry Mussa. Anyway it is his/her right to express his/her opinion however Hon. Mussa is a DPP strongman. He has maintained his loyalty to the party during very difficulty times and likes of Hon. Bright Msaka, Hon. Patricia Kaliati and not forgetting Hon. Chaponda. Hon. Mussa is very charismatic and approachable man.

  18. plan ya pitalayu akufuna kuti aphe udf, nonse otsatila udf limbani mtima chifukwa panopa pali mgwirizano wabwino wa pakati pa zipani zakubanjazi, udf ndi dpp, akufuna kuti akhale pa mgwirizano mpaka pa chisankho cha 2019 ndipo adzatsogolera ndi atupele muluzi. pitala angolamulira zaka zisanu basi. kwa inu a chilima, inutu mwafika pa bar, utsogoleri simungaupeze ‘unless’ mutayamba chipani chanu basi. amalawi dziwani kuti popanda banja la muluzi udf siingakhale komanso popanda banja la munthalika dpp palibenso. nonse amene mumakonda zipani ziwirizi ingotsatilani zofuna za mabanja awiriwa. mukatsutsana ndi ma banjawa muchoka ndinu mzipanimo. ndikuonanso ‘cabnet’ ya pitala ikukula chifukwa chofuna kusangalatsa anthu ena komanso kuchita ‘silence’ anthu ena omwe amadzudzula bomali kuti mwina asatsutsike, palibe chabwino amalawi, anthuwa ndi akuba, saganiza za anthu, akupanga za iwo basi, tivale zilimbe.

  19. It’s that kind of politics which is so old and needs to be archived, not trending with modern environment. DPP is strategizing to gain milage in all regions while systematically dilapidating opposition. The youthful Muluzi can then be assured of his doom in the footsteps of late Chakufwa by letting his party die a natural death. Rethink Mr. Muluzi and your comrades for the better Malawi.

  20. This is so pathetic news if true bwana president. Its a shame that as a country this is what we call and torelate as the order of the day!
    Malawians, we can’t even learn from the past failed states. Atsogoleri athu kwenikweni mumafuna chani.
    We are watching you gents, carry on with that nonsense of governance.

  21. Anamwa tea azamwaso Apeter muthalika ndioyamika akudziwa kuti without maluzi family iwowo sakanakhala MG 1 osabwera mbuya apm mulungu amakondwera ndi muthu oyamika

  25. Utter nonsense. Where wil u get the money to pay the second VP u idiotic man. Ur making the same mistake Bakili made. U think Atupelez UDF will save u. No chance. Only president working now is Chilima. We wil c. Watch this space.

  26. This is awesome news,
    those who don’t see wise leadership in you they must be suffering from mental illness(dementia),
    Peter Munthalika,Atupele Muluzi,Saulos Chilima Woyeeeeee
    Wakwiya ndinfiti

  27. It would be very unfair to appoint a second vice president from the south. It is a known fact that the north does not have the numbers to influence the political direction of this country. However it is not wise to abuse the dominance of one region carelessly just to appease each other just because other regions cannot do anything. But people if hardpressed always find away to fight the injustice visited on them by other people. Already there are genuine complaints of the imbalances in the appointment of ministers and many other top officials to which no plausible explanation has been offered. This country is the poorest in the the world even if the government wishes things were different. One contributing factor has been poor and unvionary leaders who have nothing new to offer to move the cointry forwad. It is appalling to see that those who parade themselves as educated people cannot distinguish themselves from the so called uneducated folks. It is very frustrating to note that the same people people or calibre of people who continue to manipulate all of us and drug this into the mud while we are helplessly wathing. Just look at some of the presidential aids that are making decisions for us. This happens only in the poorest country like ours. What do you expect from a president who is surrounded by a forest of confused advisors.

  30. The poorest country on and scum of all scums on earth needs a second VP? what a joke this president has no idea what he is doing. I hope the donors are watching and please do not support this clueless stupid president. Malawians do not need corrupt people as leaders. Lets start a revolution and get rid of these incompetent leaders. where is he going to get the resources to pay his blotted useless cabinet? It is sad to see where APM puts his priorities in this country.

  31. I strongly oppose this ldeas of creating a possition of 2nd VP and also to hire these bwenu-bwenu into government. My president don’t do this for the sake of our party. We have capable mambers in our Dpp that can deliever if they are hired as cabinet ministers. Don’t forget that these opposition members were mockering and insulting u day and night. Don’t hire them,let them rot. Talimbana nawo tokha kuti chipani chathu chilowenso mboma. Let the Dpp members enjoy their sweat yomwe anavutikila kuti inu mukhale president. Don’t forget mr president kuti zinthu zikativuta amatithawa anthu amenewa nkuyambanso kutinyoza. Remember wakusina khutu ndi mnasi. Long live Dpp,long live Malawi government and long live Mutharika.

  35. Misplaced priorities. This country does not need a second VP. It needs another president. APM should resign as he has failed Malawians. No need to continue wasting our resources. Please Mr president do the honorable thing and resign. You have proved yourself that you are clueless and inept. You may be a professor on books but when it comes to common sense you are very inept. You continue to rape our treasury due to your greed. What our country needs are people who will resuscitate the economy not roaming around and making our expenditures more than necessary.

  37. A Peturo wayipa lero chilima anakuthandizani kuti mukhale pamene mulilipo mukuluma Chala chokudyetsani phala inu mukupempha imfa kwa mulungu Ife ndife ongowona tikakuyikani paja manda munakumba kale Ku ndata

  38. Bravo APM if you do to come back in the north then it’s wise to consider nzomera and Harry and not khumbo . Khumbo doesn’t ssocialise at all .

  40. If this is true then Malawi is very unfortunate country. We were expecting the president to maintain the lean Cabinet in an effort to restore the economy of the country. We don’t need the office of the Second Vice Presidency. For what in a small country like Malawi? Pangani zimenezo ife we are watching.

  41. This is nonsensical. At a time when we are anchoring the bottom as the poorest country in the world why should you create additional expenditure through a redundant office that can best be described as ceremonial? What does a second vice president do in a fragile economy like ours, apart from contributing to a bloated cabinet and over expenditure? What value will this extravagance add in an ailing economy. Was this office budgeted for???????????????

  42. As a DPP Mp, I’m happy to hear about the possible dropping of Henry Mussa from the cabinet . Akulu amenewa amazifila too much up to the point of planning to replace APM in 2019 . Ku parliament nde he is busy undermining the leadership of Hon . Katsaila with his petty miseche . Akuti koma akanawapatsa iwowo position ya Leader of the House . Azipita mkulu ameneyu .

  43. chilima akule adziwe kuti samva adamva nkhwangwa ili mmutu. he cannot be trusted. you dont keep a snake egg in the house when it hatches snakes will come out.APM very wise move

  47. Let the young man remain Minister of Energy. where is he rushing to? Just to receive the Pension like Kachale after getting out of office? We tax payers have to pay for these people’s up-keep when they get out of office, thereby ballooning the budget allocation for current and retired Presidents and their Vicee

  49. Is this undermining the Vice President, Mr Chilima? DPP Peter remember mmene Chilima anakuthandizilani kuti muwine zisankho. Chilima is an intelligent man and very presentable. Chipongwe tu ichi mukufuna kupanga. Vuto la Ma President athu mu Malawi muno amakhala suspicious and uncomfortable ndi ma Vice I don’t know why?

  50. Here comes Peter Mutharika, the State President.
    From appeasement to another wave of appeasement.

    Go ahead sir, appoint the 2nd VP. At least we will be assured that next yesar 2016, you will appoint a 3rd and 4th VP. Whether they are going to be from the south, center or north. It’s your choice, Mr. Pilizidenti.

    A Pulizidenti, what you’re doing is what is in the reform program, trust me.

    DPP & UDF are in majority therefore they should rule this country.

  51. MP Menyani of MCP if approached, don’t accept Cabinet position or else you will be used to rubber stamp sale of MSB Bank which requires a national referendum!

  52. Mr Chilima is a threat to all. They know he s got the vision to take Malawi forward hence all this.
    But fear not Mr Chilima. Stand still and know there is God. God will fight ur battles and will make a way. God will lay the table for u in the midst of the enermies. Keep ur trust in God only. Fight with ur knees. Just surrender it all to God.
    Dr Bakili Muluzi can only suggest but if God is not for it it will not mount to anything.

    May God guide and protect Malawi.

  55. prepare the way for who is coming is greater than l.sauli keep on warming that bench.2019 prediction, udf plus dpp coalition.mcp plus pp coalition.tribalism at its best southern vs central and northern region, the winner takes all.all the best professor , Dr, advocate, muthalika.

  56. Zopusa basi. No wonder the country remains the poorest in the world. What does one expect with such dunderheads on the helm

  57. We dont even need the first vice president. How did Muluzi manage without his deputy? How did Bingu manage without a deputy? Even Kamuzu had no deputy. This position was imposed on us by the framers of the constitution. Its is a drain on our meagre resources. Maybe its there in wait for the demise of the number 1. But personally I feel its not necessary for a small economy like Malawi. Otherwise this move, if it is to materialize, is the biggest gaff APM is going to make. It is bad for democracy and the world is watching. Tiyeni nazo!!!

  60. Infinite stupidity! The sad thing is, unlike madness, stupidity has no cure! God bless Malawi, and please keep it a land of peace.

  61. Remove the useless ben phiri.he tells people out here that he is the one who decides for the president and says if the president plays around with him he will ask his sister to cast a spell on him. His sister was the former wife of ceasar fatchi a pp sympathizer who was devorced for being fucked with lucious banda

  63. Hahaha! And the circus takes its full form why in the world would you reshuffle so early on in your term I thought these guys were carefully chosen for these position one wonders what wrong they have done so soon?? Mr agenda for change seems to be doing his best at maintaining the old school playbook nothing has changed here we had Muluzi-chihana alliance and we all know how that went so here comes ung’ono ung’ono with his agenda for change which is just a load of nothing. What a joke of a Nation we are.

  64. Please my husband whom iI kikissed on valentine’s day while the whole world was watching. please do not appoint a 2ND vice president. saulos is a good person, let’s support him and build the party instead of destroying it with our own hands. please my husband, I beg yooooo, no 2ND vice president, please God forbido

  65. whats the meaning of this? at the beginning you said u will reduce the cabin and u did it and according to our financial probles it was good, now u are saying second vice p what for? does it mean Chilima is failing to perform? kapena ntchito yakula? waisting of money

  66. Chitani zomwezo Bwana!!! Saulosi Ali ndi agenda yake ndi Lucas, Kamoto, mangani and Mpinganjira!! Boma iloooo!!! Tayitulukira game!!! Palibe chinsinsi Cha anthu 4!!!!!! Muli busy kutolera ndalama mwa amwenye! We know ur account at FDH!!

  69. Why wud dis going to happen?Mwakomedwa eti?See de future man and try to b more concerned with de public not ur b*tches around u only

  70. Nankhumwa abused his office by promoting his sister inlaw ( with no qualification)at MBC 10 steps up the ladder In turn Albert & Sumbuleta did the same.
    The countron auto pilot or has gone to the dogs or run by dogs

  73. kkkkkkkkkkkkkk thats malawi politics. hopefully chilima will miss in 2019 ballot paper as atupele will be the running mate

  74. We chose to be poor with our ceremony and pomp. Why bother with a second veep ? And for a failed lawyer / son of a thief? Short cuts ! You could have governed rightly and enjoyed the majority of parliament through merit not bribery. If only courage could be learned with all these degrees we pomp about . Mmxxiii!

  75. Why the poorest country on earth, one of the smallest countries on earth should have 2 vice presidents, 20 presidential advisers, 40 cabinet ministers when bigger countries like USA, Russia, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Zambia, Mozambique have 1 vice President, fewer ministers and advisers. These are conditions of a failed state. The President is not performing hence needs more baggage

  77. personally i dont like the second vice president post.what z it for? After seing in several occassions bakili muluzi i knew that something z happening.this z now a fulfilment of it.my advice to peter,malawians voted for u to change things in the country not repeating same mistakes that ur predecessors did.take it or leave it,its up to u.malawia anasukusula pano

  78. This government doesn’t have direction and goals that’s why you can see that every month there’s sacking and rehiring in government top position. To say the true I don’t know how things will be in 2 years with this so-called Dpp government?

  80. Mukuti Nzomwera Federalism Ngwiraaaaa???? a President tikondeni posapanga mistake imeneyi. Kondwani is exellent, maybe Chibingu, Obama and Fabiano are the right candidates to be kicked out. Zomera Ngwira ayi ayi ayi please please please. Osasankha uja akuti ndi Executive Secretary wa Malawi Human Rights Commission uja bwa akuti Mrs Grace Malera. Ndi wanzeru mayi ameneuja kuposa Nzomera Ngwira ka. aaaaaaa inu bwnotubwino.

  81. Reshuffle or no reshuffle, nothing changes in this country. Let young people run the country… Menyani, Lunguzi, Atupele, Chilima… all are good candidates

  85. It is good for Austin Atupele Muluzi and his father the Retired President Eleson Bakili Muluzi.
    The MWK1.7b case for the Retired President Eleson Bakili Muluzi is now over.

  88. Who needs the Second Vice President? Is it President or Malawians i.e. is it for “common” good or “individual” good? What is the strategic intent of Second Vice President? How does it benefit nation building, governance, prioritizing resource allocation, and spending within our means? What is “prerogative”? Where is it derived from? Can prerogative be abused? If prerogative is abused, how do we ensure accountability? I smell a rat. Someone seems to be looking to 2019 and moving chess pieces 4 years in advance of the “go time”.

  90. End of UDF then Dpp will follow. Ambuye Wazodabwitsa tikonzeleni dziko lathu la Malawi

  92. As Obama rightly said it that we should avoid leaving out some groups into our leadership roles because they lead to frustrations, and results into people committing or becoming terrorists in their own domains or countries, and later global terrorists. Leaders should learn to listen to the grievances of dissenting communities. In this case if Peter Mutharika wants to appoint a second vice president,then a northerner should be put into the fold.

  94. If the cabinet is bloated and we have a second VP, we will march in the Streets ndipo mutiphanso. Tangoyesani.

    1. Please chonde mpaka pano simunazindikilebe kuti a voted vice president can not be sacked by the president? Amalawi tadzichangamukani.asamangokupusitsani zilizonse. Anayamba kunena izi kalekale. Amangwetu kkkkkkkkkk

  96. Malawi has no adequate funds to pay public service personnel. We don’t need this vice president. We have problems with salaries for government workers. save this money for nurses and teachers.

  97. Harry Mkandawire

    Finally

    All the best home boy

    Atleast he is som1 who will.and can make a difrence!

  99. Mr journalist should know that the Malawi constitution provides for the office of the second vice president. Why should Peter Muntharika reintroduce it, is Muntharika a constitution. The President swore to safeguard the law of the land, whatever appoint he can make in this the constitution empowers him, wheather political appointment, appeasement appointment, economical appoint, you name it. Malawi should not suffer “ungovernance” just because donors wants their headless economic directives and dictations, after all we are funding activities of government expenditures on our own. Malawi journalism is sometimes very dull and unpatriotic and hypocritical. LOOK at National Aids Commission, very soon people will jobs just because some scribes thought painting it an embezzler to the donors will make Peter Mutharika suffer, but who will be suffering now, ordinary people because of uncensorship journalism. The president of NAMISA Thom Khanje must organise some workshops on good and patriotic journalism. After all if Atupele will be a second VP is he not a Malawian? STOP POOR JOURNALISM and NEWS ANALYSIS

  100. Ine basi sindizavotaso mpakana kale kale nanga akufuna kuba kapena kutukula ziko? ,ndife osauka ndikale ndiye musankhe Purezidenti wa chitatu muzimulipira manyi? mukulephera kutiripira, maphuzisi ,madotor, apolisi , acity, chitetezo palibe, munatinamizakuti, mukangowina muzakwera ndege okasegula DOKO kunsanje , basi ndine wamboni za JEHOVA .

  101. Whats this then? If this is to materialize, then a Mr. Menyani will loose his post come the next general elections!

  104. its good move papa also change the name of the parties we’re the one now united democratic progressive party {UDPP} sharp!!!!

  106. Instead you should focus your energies on formulating and implementing the strategies to enhance the declining economy. You should be busy specifying the country’s Objectives, developing policies and plans to achieve economic growth and development. you should encapsulate various functional state business enterprises with concrete overall direction. you should have far stretching ideas and initiate meaningful and profitable government enterprises’ activities. Think of proper allocation and utilization of Government resources consistently. Establish productive Agricultural projects for example as Agriculture is the backbone of our economy. In that way you are also setting and example to the entire nation to follow suit – be a model to watch – More on investment spending than consumption spending- Activities that will bear fruit for ordinary citizens in the future. Laying concrete a foundation for the Nation.

  107. The appointment of Atupele to the pposition. Of Vp is a complete wiping out of the former ruling party UDF. The UDF party should play its card carefully other wise will follow Afford part because its poor strategies.

  109. Sorry Saulosi thats the end of you. Atupele, being a bit more mature in conduct and presentation than Saulosi, will grab the limelight. Timanena ife kuti kuyendetsa boma ndi kugulitsa airtime ndizosiyana!

  110. 2nd vice president 4 what? Sum1 is taking this country as a personal estate where anything can b done without consultations. Dont take citizens 4 granted if this country needs a 2nd vice president we must go 4 a referendum and we see frm there. Can sumbody join me in saying no no no. Its not the will of the pipo 4 2nd vice president, dont impose on us what we dont want. We voted 4 u and u betray us. Its not part of the policy of what we want. Get back 2 the basics and lets build the country.

  112. Signs of the times, ladies and gentlemen; Bakili Muluzi is destroying our country, all these are results of evil MOU endorsed by Peter Mutharika to pave way for this evil islamic Atupele. Mr Saulosi Chilima must be very careful, anything might happen to your precious life, the only solution is to really lean on God becuse this whole mafia plan will one day self destruct this islamic Muluzi empire. We are watching and God through mighty Jesus is watching too. God is in control.

  114. empty tin Atupee azikatani on this post???????????????????? dull as he looks, with his stupid agenda for change thats the end of his yellow party!!!!!!! terrible thinking from APM, we r not moving forward, we r heading backward i tell u the world’s poorest country even if they have 2 VP will not change its economic status ndithu!!!!!!!!!!!!what a country which belives ib stupid tribal stereotypes and what shame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and yet they want to sell MSB coz they r saying we dont have money, and yet they funding 12 million USD spy machine at Macra wat a country, am so ashamed of this nasty country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

  116. Whoever got and followed Bakili Muluzi advice does not last. You don’t follow a failure’s advice. APM must be careful here. This approach will affect this nation negatively. Mark my word, Political Engineer at work but we hv so many examples around including the economic landscape’s background. Muluzi must give us a break we want to develop as a nation.

  119. Atupele and his father are a total disappointment to UDF followers.

    Ufumu wawo anagulitsa motchipa………..

  124. What maters is what to deliver on the ground,we need a better Malawi to live,we need at least 80%of Malawians based in foreign countries should come back and invest in their blessed land.But this need heavy machines on the steering,People who can focus within a limited time.Without hustles.See my Name.

  126. Because the president comes from the south, his deputy comes from the centre therefore if a 2nd vice president is to be appointed he must be one from the northern region, otherwise do not try to bring back this 2nd VP thing we hurt it.

  128. This Peter Muthalika is busy appointing 2nd VP, when are going to build this Country, Dziko ili Mudabetsa M’manja Mwa agalu, koma amalawi ndiye mudawapezelera, U president muzingosinthana ngati ufumu.

  131. WE DO NOT NEED THE SECOND VICE PRESIDENT POSITION. HOW CAN THIS BE JUSTIFIED? WHERE IS THE PROMISE OF A LEAN CABINET?

  132. This is a waste of resources. What for? Are we in a crisis such that we need a second vice president? Is it just for appeasement? This is foolishness and stupidity at its best. Instead of concentrating on development to bring the nation to another level we are busy creating useless positions that will make Malawi even poorer.Mr President please stop this madness. Be like your late brother whose tangible works of his hands were seen eg Chitipa Road, The new Lilongwe Hotel, Zambezi Waterway, Ndata University etc

  133. If APM wants to bring back 2nd VP nonsense, then that person should be from the north not from the south otherwise that will spark controversies in our beautiful republic.

  136. Akufuna mchawa atupele.
    He doesn’t trust Chilima. Akuti sangamusiyire dziko Chilima, too ambitious kkkkk
    Ndiye Atupeleyo is less ambitious?
    Awayika m’botolotu babawa, chirichonse atanene atcheya akungoti “yes sir” kkkkk

  141. Malawians are waiting for the investigation of K92 billion, jobs, and development not appointment of ministers or second vice president. We are tired of this experiment government. 10 months down the line nothing tangible is coming up. DPP government has no plan. Malawi is doomed, serious!

  145. Bakili is working hard kudzigulira malo.kkk the plan is to make sure UDF come back in power thru tricks then finish off DPP. muisova

  147. I will be very sad if these so called Mzomera and Mkandawire be hired into cabinet.Does it mean their unnecessary noise on federation and secession has awarded them??? This is bullshit and dont let us down with this barbaric thinking.How come to drop Mussa the great weapon in DPP? Think twice. I would love may be Khumbo Kachale because he joined us before elections not others.For Atupele to be second vice president not so bad.Once again dont disappoint us by hiring Harry Mkandawire and Mzomera Ngwira.

  149. Tikamati mulophwana nyini mu nyini nyenyiwa ndi imeneyi!!!!! Chilomwe chimenechi!!!! Ndi masulire!!!!! It means this is full of idiots and dunderheads!!!!!

  154. Bwana President Play The Cards Carefully Otherwise Chipani Chilowa Mphepo? After All Why 2nd Veep Is Chilima Not Delivering? Mind U Atambala Salila Awiri Khola Limodzi. Muthetsa Chipani Ngati Makatani.

  159. Alekeni menyani is not chairman of budget and finance . Get it right. The chairman is Rhino Chiphiko M C P. Menyani if he joins DPP government he knows that is the end of his political career. MCP doesn’t give a mercy when it comes to election. No one will suffocate that party. Ask muluzi he knows that
