Cama cautions opposition leader Nankhumwa against ‘fuel politics’
The Consumers Association of Malawi (CAMA) has cautioned the Leader of Opposition in parliament, Kondwani Nankhumwa to stop politicizing fuel in the country especially during the Covid-19 pandemic.
CAMA executive director, John Kapito said in a statement made available to Nyasa Times that Nankhumwa’ s recent demands for government to reduce prices of fuel raises more questions than answers.
“We wonder whether they themselves are not part of government, politicians including those in opposition understand the pricing of fuel in the country and they can easily go in Parliament to remove all the levies and taxes that are added to the cost of fuel, levies and taxes constitute above fifty percent of the fuel pump prices.
“We wonder why they should use a political podium when the powers to remove and add taxes and levies on fuel are within their powers, why should our politicians pretend to be clever only when they are in opposition on matters that are supposed to be handled by themselves?” said Kapito.
The consumer rights activist said most Parliamentarians are confusing Malawians by suggesting that fuel prices can be reduced without Parliament debating such tax removals on fuel, adding political leaders mislead Malawians on a product so sensitive to the lives of many consumers by pushing blame when the powers to reduce fuel price rests with them.
“Is it just seeking relevance or popularity? The pricing model of fuel in Malawi is not a secret to any interested person including our politician and it has two components which is the FOB price and levies or taxes that are added on top of FOB prices.
“Unfortunately, the Government levies and taxes constitute almost 50% of the pump price and indeed if any politician and mostly those that sit in parliament would wish to have fuel prices reduced all they have to do is to remove all the taxes that are imposed on fuel and Malawi would have the cheapest prices of petroleum products and make consumers and opposition members of Parliament happy.”
Kapito has since warned Nankhumwa to refrain from making careless statements that are just to make them relevant and popular at the expense of the poor.

wHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT eDUCATION IN mALAWI IS JUST A WASTE OF RESOURCES.I HAVE SEEN DOCTORS WHO RE IDIOTS IN MALAWI INSTITUTIONS.mARE DEGREE HOLDERS ARE EVEN BETTER THAT THEM.OSANAMIZILA EDUCATION HERE.DOCTOR CHILIMA ,MBUZI,DOCTOR CHAKWERA ,GALU,DOCTOR MLUSU ,BAKHA,DOCTOR USI,GWAPE WENIWENI KKK.
John kapito should not attack Nankhumwa on this fuel issue.Did not Chilima uttered a lot on fuel pricing last time during campaign.Zisakomele Mbuzi kugunda galu yapa.Kapito and Kachaje have turned into supporting evils of Tonse Alliance for them being the Chewa and Ngoni.Tikuona apa zomwe a Tonse akuchita.HRDC is quite like a sick pig.But Malawians have now seen that the Tonse did not come with good things but just wanted to ouster DPP out of goverment for them to rudely rule Malawians.
Prices are so high.Peter reduced fuel prices due to the Covid 19 disruptions.Why Kapito defending these Tonse idiots.Kapito is an idiot as well.Thats why Late Bingu challenged him,if he was capable to come into politics.He feared indeed.Today seeing that his fellow Chewas are ruling,he sides by them including Kachaje..
Why are Tonse failing to give those young men whom they cheated of the 1,000,000 JOBS.May be the jobs are those whom I have seen young men selling blue gum leaves,face masks around towns.selling second hand pants at Kamuzu Central round about.Isn’t it,I suppose.I see Malawians feeling the hard and filthy life for the oncoming foru and half years.I amnot Tonse fun ,kkk.I benefited the MK4,500.00 fertilizer deal.That is what God does.Look those who voted Tonse into power have failed to get even a 5 kg of fertilizer kkkkkkk.Ifeyo tampata osavutikanso kokagulako.A Tonse mpaka pano n’ooo osampata kkkk.Achinyamata mumati mudzasiya kabadza lero nde ziti kkkk???Akabadza a njinga zamoto lero akukulandani njinga zanu kuzadza mumapolice stations khooo!!!KUIMBILA MFITI MMANJA NKOMWE MUNACHITA AMALAWI KKKK!!!KU CANAN KUJA MWAFIKAPO KOMA SIMUNATI KKKK!!!
Nankhumwa was just in cabinet to steal. He has shown us that he is a Form Form guy as well. I thought he knew the fuel economics. The prices of fuel are not stable on the market. It depends on demand and supply. OPEC controls the supply to increase the prices. Zinazi ndi ndale zopusa.
Afunseni kuti what is Agriculture akuyankhani, koma za FOB izi palibe akutolapo.
Mwamasula bwino a Kapito ngakhale patenga Nthawi kuti muyankhuleko za nzeru!!
Ma degree azidindo za Blue awa mmmh!
koyambatu kumumva kapito akukamba za nzeru chonchi. mumazisiya kut nzeru zimenezi, kapena mwazindikila kut being used by dipipi will never take u anywhere….
Mr Kapito has generated a brain wave only that it can be understood by the by educated few. Anthu a form form sangazimvetse izi. Mudzazindikira bwino patsogolo!!!
mr kapito,where were you when chilima asked the then rulling party to reduce fuel prices.you remained quite and this time you have resurrected after being given bans.nankhumwa has the right to ask the government or question them whenever it is necessary
Maganizo Kaloza, walasa pamenepo kwambiri, ayankhe pamenepo.
Chilima was not a parliamentarian, in fact he has never been a parliamentarian…….so you can not compare Chilima and Nankhumwa…….Nankhumwa should know better how the fuel pricing works, the president or government does not dictate fuel prices in Malawi no.
It doesn’t only need a parliamentarian to understand the fuel price methodology. Chilima being the VP at the time was better placed to understand this. He was a politician and still is. He must condemn the price hike and easy the burden facing Malawians.
Kapito is just a useless person these days, he used to be energic and was talking sense, but now its over. This time because its opposition who are requesting the government to listen to the plea of the people to reduce pump price, its not in order. The same Tonse Alliance government when it was in opposition, Chilima demanded the reduction of pump prices ( a clip is available in circulation) by the government which he was part of. Now today, ukatiuze kuti it should be political, nonsense and fotseki.
NAKHUMWA AS UNEDUCATED AS HE IS, HE WILL REMAIN A CHEAP POLITICIAN. HE MUST FORGET ABOUT STATEHOUSE.WELL, FUEL PRICE WILL AUTOMATICALLY COME DOWN AS DEMAND WILL EASE DOWN AGAIN WITH THE INCREASE IN COVID RELATED LOCKDOWNS ACROSS THE GROBE
Iweyo Chechamba, you are very stupid and you are wasting oxygen. What has education got to do with what Nankhumwa has said, uli chipuwa iweyo. You dont even know the definition of being uneducated, foolish Chechamba, iwe ndiwachambadi.
Whats wrong with what Kapita has said about Nankhumwa?Indeed the guy just want popularity nothing else.
Kapito is not against Fuel reduction He’s asking why the right people are not doing it. The right people includes Nankhumwa himself the current and recognised Leader of Elections losers in Parliament!
True Nankhumwa is seeking popularity and he has already forgotten what dpp did to most Malawians. The name dpp scares us very much. In George Orwell’s Animal Farm, Squealor used to ask the animals if the wanted to go back to Mr. Jones. We don’t want to go back to the thieves of certificates. The form forms.
Tell him, nankhumwa is such an idiot ,no knowledge of economics but you want to use cheap propaganda to be popular.idiotic thinking
Koma mukukumbukila zomwe ankabwebweta chilima alikunja kwa boma paza mafuta
Chilima was not a parliamentian
Chilima has never been in opposition since he joined politics, remember he was the vice president during Peter Muthalika’s time
Stupid comment, nonsense.
Yes amalankhula zimene zija chifukwa fuel anatsika mtengo dziko lonse . Izi zimadana ndi umbuli
Musadande Nankhumwa watha uyu.Ku convetion tikamuthothola nthenga zonse sakaukukanso monga achitilamu.Iyeyu ndindani kuti azingopanga ziganizo zakezake pamene madolo aPITALA ali duu ku Mangochi.
Kutha kwa a Kapito uku.Is his position at CAMA for life kulibe achinyamata oti agwireko ntchito kumeneko? Akhalitsako pano nzeru zawathera why opposing the opposition.
Pitanikoni lnu a noxy kkkk , Nakhumwa mbuzi yeniyeni,
He is the voice if the opposition he has the right to say whatever is necessary.Its,a nationwide concern at the moment.
It is also the duty of rhe opposition to provide checks n balances.
A Kapito mwadya banzi
I think Kapito is just laughing wherever he is. You mean you can’t even comprehend that Kapito is for the fuel price reduction? Nankhumwa is not fighting for that. He is buying cheap political popularity. What Kapito is suggesting is the most sustainable and sensible way of fighting for fuel price reduction. Unfortunately you can’t understand even this simple logic which Kapito is suggesting.
Kapito should shut up his stinking mouth. Fuel prices should go down and there is no time when fuel reduction was disscussed in parliament. Chilima said he awas able to reduce fuel prices to MK500 and that any price above that was theft to Malawians . We dont want any stupid explanations now. Fuel should go dwon
Truth, speak truth, do truth. Bwana Nankhumwa talk about the poor upcoming behavior of Malawi police. Talk about the unbundling of universities. Talk about lack of testing of guardians of the patients who have been diagnosed with covid 19 due to lack of enough testing materials.
Abwana Nankhumwa, compare fuel prices for Zambia, Tanzania, Mozambique and Malawi, you will see that they are almost the same. That’s why we don’t see vendors snuggling fuel from the respective countries to Malawi. Please don’t just be carried away by wind. Be strong. we need you for our democracy to be complete.
Kapito is right, Nankhumwa was quite when DPP led administration was increasing prices of Fuel and other commodities, so why make noise now?? U want to be relevant now coz u are in opposition.
Zamisala zanu achina Nankhumwa tatopa nazoooo
Kapito is a spent force,, do you want to tell the nation that government cannot reduce fuel price? Are you serious?
Truth be told….osamangolongolola ngati ku Mera simukuziwa .
😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Me thinks Kapito has a point
That’s true indeed it’s him who should team up with government of the Tonse Alliance 💪🏿🇲🇼 in order to find solutions to this issue at hand
George Malemia aka Kondwani Nankhumwa is poorly educated and no wonder he only thinks about small things. For him it’s politics politics politics and somehow he thinks he can win the presidency by using the Lhomwe belt vote!
A Kapito by then Chakwera were accusing by then DPP where were you? bwinotu
Nankhumwa chilichose amangotsusa komatu simunati mufinyika muona
And i don’t think we have position leader here in Malawi.
Kapito mwasiya kuganiza.
Useless
Politicians are like that. This is exactly what those in government were doing when in opposition. It seems these fools think that the people they speak to are all ignorant. I heard a certain dunderhead from DPP saying he would conduct rallies across the country to appreciate poverty created by the tonse government. Really? And some people still clap hands for such nosense. Looking at some of them( politicians), you wonder what gives them courage to speak such nosense to people who are mostly more educated/knowledgeable than them.
paja gulu la dpp amakangotunga 500 litres pa day kujaku.
mmhu afisi ovala zik9ma za nkhosa.
nde mukunyindililatu ce joji malemya
Kodi iwe Kapito sunanve Chilima akunena kuti azasisa maguta. Ndiye Nankhumwa walakwa kunena lero kuti boma lisise mafuta? Iwe mbuzi eti
The government is tasting its own medicine. They were playing the same tricks when they’re in the opposition side.
Chilima was in government not opposition when he talked about reduction of Fuel. Namkhumwa should stop this nonse once and for all.
On the face value Chilima was in government but in his flesh, he served the opposition which he sided with. Where were you when these things were happening? You could not have missed this if you were around.
A kapito mukunena zoona but our politicians mostly from Dpp ndi mabulutu . Form form type. Sukulu mayazi. Ntchito kukamba kuti ine sukulu std 1 nayamba mpaka 8. Irrelevant. Tell us about your college osati za mpemba mpemba. Never again will Malawians give this country to dpp
CAMA????? Whether it goes through the parliament who gives a consent for decisions to be implemented?A Kapito ulendotu uwu.
Kapito is gone! It is the government which makes policies on such issues not every parliamentarian! A Kapito mwatani, mwapatsidwa chani?
kapito has been a waste of space much
This has been the case for some time and Nankhumwa knows very well that some of the levies were implemented by them. Why bark like a mad dog? Ndinaiwala paja ndi gulu la form form
So you think the incumbent president can sit on the bills like his predecessor?
Sit on which bills? Do you know what fuel levies are and what they are used for? Now has parliament brought any fuel levies bill for the president to assent to and the president is not doing that? Maybe I should ask you if you know how any bill comes into law?
Let Nankhumwa fight for reduced fuel prices in parliament. Asatinyase out here talking shit that won’t change anything. Has he even raised the issue in parliament? Ntchito basi thinking about ma allowance a ma MP?
Akufuna u Board Chair
Iwe! Kapito ndi wophunzira ndipo wozitsata. Inu nzeru zanu ndi pa forum apa basi.
USELESS CAMA AND KAPITO IS JUST A SPENT FORCE!!!!! KULI ZAMBIRI ZOTI KAPITO AKANAKOZA KUYANKHULA KOMA UUUUU MBUZI THERE WAS AN ISSUE OF TAX ON COOKING OIL,FUEL,EVEN ZA COVID HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE FOREFRONT
Tell him
Kapito, bwanji mkulu uja simunamuzuzule atanena za fuel nthawi ya campaign ija? Banzi mwadyayo ikuthimbanitu posachedwapa.
Munali kuti momwe Klaus amakamba nkhani ya fuel nthawi ya campaign ija? Munachokapo kapena? If so, welcome back home
Just join politics monga momwe nzanu Timothy wachitira kuti muzikadyera ma banzi kufupi komweko
Muyaluka nazotu izi!!!! Asiireni eni ake omwe anazolowera.
Osaopera kutali our opposition mps, you can try to push for what the CAMA chief is saying. There is some sense .
