Calls for Mutharika to retire valid but wrong timing – Dausi

July 30, 2020 Green Muheya - Nyasa Times 40 Comments

Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) spokesperson Nicholous Dausi has said the calls on former president Peter Mutharika to retire from leading ther party are valid but wrong timing.

Dausi: Let me consult

Dausi was reacting to comments by party member Kenneth Msonda who has said Mutharika, who lost to President Lazarus Chakwera in the June 23 fresh presidential election, can play an advisory role in the party.

He said Msonda’s “concerns may be valid, but the timing is wrong.”

According to Dausi, DPP is still coming to terms with their new status as main opposition party from the governing role .

Leader of opposition and DPP vice president for the (south) Kondwani Nankhumwa recently said the party will conduct a post-mortem from all levels  and see where it went wrong and focus on what needs to be done in rebuilding process.

  1. Ken Msonda is right there is a need to call for a party convention and hold elections for the Central Govenering Council and then Regional Governors, District and Constituency Leaders. It is in black and white that things are not ok in the DPP camp that’s why there’s a need for a quick Leadership change to rebrand the image of the party. Some faces should be uprooted and plant new and fresh faces. APM has done his part let him take a rest as he is old now. All names which are being connected to the looting of public funds should disappear.

  2. Really Nankhumwa, you don’t know where you (DPP) went wrong and you expect to make a come back? Kkkkkkkk.

  3. Mukhala choncho and muyambira pati? UDF chair amanyoza kuti zipani zitha ngati nsalu ya makata and chinayamba ndi chake. Next is dpp. Muthalika is just too old and that is why the country was run like a drug country with Mukhito, Chisale and Getu. You keep you dzitsiru like Goodall Gondwe, Heatherwick Ntaba, Bintoni Kutsaira, Francis Kasayira, Uladi Mussa, Wakuda Kamanga, Grezelda Jeffrey, Jomo Osman, Charles Mchacha, Christopher Mzomera, Chief Lundu, Chief Kaomba, Chief Lukwa, Blantyre Synod, Steve Maseya, Jane Ansah etc.

  6. I said it and am saying it again that all old inner circle of the party who maid DPP loose are the following:
    Mutharika
    Chaponda
    Ben Phiri
    Chimulirenji
    Mchacha
    Dausi
    Jeffrey
    Mphepo
    Musa change goal
    Musowa
    Danza
    Kamuyambeni
    Nankhumwa
    Mpinganjira
    Ntaba and those other back benchers.
    Whilst government is busy cleaning the rubble, the party should also begin to clear it’s rubble to include these names.
    This party does not belong to them, it belongs to its members in Malawi. The party needs new brains comprising of 60% young vibrant intellectuals. The party must be honest with itself that it has had three presidents all Southerners. It’s time to embark on a rotational presidency strategy.

  7. CHISALE WAS THE ONE WHO WAS RULING THIS COUNTRY NOT MUNTHALIKA….THE OLDMAN WAS BUSY HAVING VINYO DAY AND NIGHT WHILE THIEVES WERE BUSY STEALING TAXPAYERS MONEY.

    2. Norman Chisale was compared to the late Mariyamungu, he was Idi Amini’s most fearful man in Uganda

  9. Msonda is a mad and corrupt man. He must have been given bans by Chakwera. He should know that DPP needs to come to terms with the loss of elections before leadership change.

  10. Mutharika should continue until party is fully stable. This is not a good time because Nyau za Nyolonyo will infiltrate and destroy DPP.

  11. So akondwani Nakumwa you don’t know where DPP went wrong,let me tell you some things,the first one is the stealing public money and violence, corruption,Ku jumpa misonkho,quota system,poor vision for the country,ulova among the youths in Malawi etc Zina mukuziwa nokha though you are playing like what you have been doing to malawians is justifiable.Aka 145 million police ration case.kuba in the name of donation. Kuphedwa Kwa Njaunje, buleya and anthu achaluubino ,kuotcha magalimoto apposition parties.

  13. There is no need to worry about Mutharika retiring as Mutharika is headed to Zomba Central Prison. Mutharika has stolen trillions and enriched the dubious Indian traders whom he corruptly awarded fertiliser, pharmaceuticals, notebooks etc contracts. All involved including the Indian traders and the Greek trader must be held fully accountable and made to repay the stolen trillions. Its pointless saying trillions were stolen by Mutharika, and not pursue recovery of the trillions. This must not be like Bakili Muluzi’s never ending case, which was just to fool Malawians.

    2. The loot is banked in Dubai, UK and India by the Indians and in Mauritius by the Greek

      1. tikatengako ndalama ndi zathu. nkaesa amalandila kuti akuthandizila a Malawi
        but all they did with it was enriching themselves

  14. DPP let us be honest with ourselves we lost the election mainly because of following reasons:
    1. The childish way we or MEC tried to rig the 2019 elections. I am sure even without those rigging attempts DPP could have won if the results of fresh election are anything to go by.
    2. 50+1 – if UTM and MCP didn’t participate on joint ticket DPP could have have won.
    3. Regionalism – if Malawians voted on merit of manifestos DPP could have won.
    4. New Generation Politics – people mainly the educated and urbanized youth wanted change from old type of politics to a modern brunt politics brought by current USA president Donald Trump. SKC utilised that opportunity and nearly made it but he spoiled it due to his immature behaviour which led to a lot of adults skeptical about his promises.
    So when doing the postmortem don’t dwell too much on who did what for us to lose but find a solution which will cut across the 4 factors outlined above then surely we will be back in power as soon as 2025.
    Don’t worry about these corruption stories coming out I bet we will see much worse corruption between now and 2025. There is no poor corrupt free democratic country in the whole world let alone in Africa. May be let us try dictatorship!

    1. You hit the nail if the head. But I want DPP to remain policy and development based party instead of adapting your point 4, which is just populism.
      But like APM once said “amalawi likes politics more than development”
      I’d also add point 5, putting incompetent people close to power and cabinet, during Bingu, people like Mchacha, Chisale would never have been close to govt power. Those are foot soldiers that needs to play a role in party hierarchy not govt colidors.
      The good thing with populism politics is that it never last nor develop the country, cos it readers just says what the masses what’s to hear and they soon realise that nothing is happening and they mostly loose, so these Chilima/Chakwera will soon be found out. When the masses realise that corruption arrest aren’t mounting to anything, there is no universal subsidy and those solid policies that were working albeit slowly have been messed up into chaos

      1. jomo

  15. Advisory role!!! Very NO!! should completely retire from politics. He is not a GOOD politician. He can not be a good advisor. Other wise this marks the end of DPP. Please don’t involve him in party politics. We want Malawi to have strong opposition side for checks and balances.

  16. Do you mean kuti adausiwa padakalibe mlandu uliwonse woti ayankhe??? Be serious, atchulidwapo kangapo pankhani zokhuza kuphedwa kwa ma albino

  17. Bwana dausi nikolas tiuzeni za ma contract a ku home affairs atuluka aja. Enatu akana kale kuti anangolandira. Mungopita mukanenetu osati zomwe mukunena apazi.. Msonda is right. Peter can never rule malawi again

    1. We are only waiting for Dausi kuti ayankhe as mbale za a Kayidi zogulidwa pa mtengo wa K81,000 each kkkkkkkkkķkk

  18. The underlying problem is that there was no leader in DPP such that everyone did as they saw it fit. Two camps emerged within DPP and none took charge of the situation. Impunity: tribalism, regionalism, nepotism was the order of the day. Everyone appointed in DPP government from the Lbelt is rich today, not even to mention those picked with the academia, they are barons today. Don’t even look at 2025, forget it. You insulted the North, few as we are we will work with a party that understand our us: DPP, GS said that Until Jesus comes for us to produce a president and we are saying until Jesus comes for us to vote for DPP.

  19. A Sonda nkhani ndikuti inu mumasemphana ndi chigalimoto cha malipilo, basi bwerani ku tonse alliance kkkkk

  20. Where dpp went wrong were as follows Mr Nankhumwa.

    1. Corruption
    2. Undermine rule of law
    3. Nepotism
    4. Regionalism
    5. bad governance

    Eeeeesh we had no president if not we had robot president. Apa ndiye pakufunika Sapita Kawiri or Never again.
