Catholic bishop blasts Malawi spy body for failure to detect albino bones market

The leader of the influential Catholic Church in Malawi  has taken a swipe at state intelligence body for failing to detect a market for bones of people with albinism which has ignited a wave of ritual murders  of the people.

Archbishop Msusa: State spies could have helped to get albino bones market

His Grace Bishop Thomas Luke Msusa doubted the performance of the National Intelligence Bureau, its role as a tax payer funded intelligence body.

“The intelligence officers and the police could have identified the market for the bones in order to end the killings of the people with albinism,” said His Grace Bishop Msusa.

”This would have helped to bust the syndicate or the traders of the bones. They would have identified the market long ago,” added Bishop Msusa.

He described the officers of the State spy agency  and the police of lacking professionalism and patriotism for the country.

Msusa said this at Luchenza in Thyolo when Catholic Women Association planted trees with funding from the National Bank of Malawi.

The Bishop  thanked the women for the tree planting initiative which he said was good to bring back the fast going vegetation which is a cause for the current climate change.

  1. Bishop there is no market ,these are periodically incidences .Those who were born in 1940 or 50s will follow these correctly.There havebeen beliefs on speculations since old times .Albino is now a current incidence .in 70s people could be kiled on belief of blood being sold to Red Cross.Then baby placetaes,then balded heads ,then human body parts,The sandawana,then old coins ,human teen! White man heir etc.All years you get such things as fastest method of getting money

  2. Bishops you are now trying to shield your albino killer Fr Muhosha by blaming Government? Shame on you hypocites. Its better that you continue supporting your UTM rather than pretending to be holly you devils.

  3. The men and women in our intelligence services, are faceless unsung heroes, who work tiressly to ensure and protect our freedoms. Without them, we would not be able to enjoy the many freedoms that are enshrined in our Constitution.

    I urge His Grace to visit them, encourage them, and pray for them, and with them. I have no doubt that they would appreciate and treasure such a visit.

    My respects to His Grace.

  4. I am not a Catholic nor do I intend to become one but I have a problem with the thinking of blaming the Catholic Church for what Father Muhosha did. A corporate church does not control the minds of its members or its ministers. Members and ministers are free will beings who can do what they want even if it is against the principles of the church. Blaming the church for the sins of a member or a minister is POOR thinking. We hear of sexual scandles involving govt ministers. Should we therefore conclude that the government advocates this behaviour. NO. These things are personally chosen and done. Lets be thinking maturely.

    1. Don’t cheat us by saying you are not a Catholic. The way you are speaking shows you are one and ready to defend your fathers. When we say bad government, it is not the structure but the people running the government. This should give you a clear picture of what we are talking of Catholic involvement of the killing of Albinos

  5. Sometimes I fail to understand when men of God choose to divert the minds of its people deliberately. I thought Bishop Msusa would have felt ashamed blaming other quarters on Albino killings when memories are still fresh that the Catholic Church is in the forefront using its Fathers/Bishops in the killing of Albinos. If I may ask you Bishop, Is Muhosha one of you in the church? If yes, is it possible for the nation to use you to sit down with your own father to tell the nation about the market? Bishop Msusa, you are better placed to tell us the truth other than anybody else because this Albino killing work is happening in your own house. Don’t hide in the name of the church, you are already exposed. I would ask the police to allow you interview your own person using your prayers so that the truth is said and the Malawi nation knows the whole truth.

  6. I think your own Priest is part of it, go and ask him.The police has been asking as to help them by reporting people involved in this barbaric acts, did you reported about your Pastor?

  7. The intelligence agencies here in Malawi are not motivated adadequately one they’re underpaid,two: they are frustrated by there counterparts the judiciary,three: they are mostly political appointees therefore the politicians pull the strings from a far,the police are not policed. They mostly fear the rich ,when the rich barons rremotely commit a crime the police fail to protect the whistle blower. We need to change our criminal law and enforcement procedures urgently. BY now the alubino killers already arrested should have been in jail instead the court cases drdrag as if the judiciary is being forced to preside over the cases.

  8. its just last week yomweyi anakuuzani kuti the market is in Mozambique and they are working with mozambican government

  9. Koma msuda Uyu. Shaaa. Bwanji akafunse mbusa mnzake Uja anagwidwa pabkani zomwezi. I double if the machine can manage. Of course we need I such services

  10. Awa akhale chete..one of his men is a culprit in this evil trade..discipline your own people.
    The question is why did he fail to detect one of his own kuti nde okupha

    Bishop yambani mwachotsa chisoso mmaso mwanu musanachotse cha wena

  11. Archbishop Msusa you are in a better position to knw the market since one of your own Bishop/Father is behind the killing of people with Albinism. In fact we expect you the Bishops and Fathers to knw the markets better than us ordinary citizens. Mesa mukugula ziwalo zama Albino ndinu nomwe ma Bishop/Father inu kodi?? Why pretending as if you knw nothing???

  12. I’m not a Catholic, but I’ve always envied the fact that Logic ( studied as a subject under the general discipline of Philosophy) is also taught to Catholic seminarians as part of their general theological studies.

    You may ask, “What’s this got to do with the topic under discussion? COMMON SENSE!

    Your Grace Bishop Msusa, you’ve hit the nail right on the head in wondering why the National Intelligence Bureau hasn’t as yet cracked the puzzle of albino murders.

    The reason why our spy agency is incompetent and unprofessional is that it is always busy “investigating ” members of the political opposition. It is ( and has always been) staffed by political appointees / party cadres.

    Had it been operating like, say, the FBI / CIA / MI5 / MI6 / Mossad etc etc, the occurrence of albino murders would long ago have been water under the bridge.

    Elvis Thodi, Bishop Msusa has dared you to take up the gauntlet. Do something worthy of a real professional, non-partisan govt snooper. Stop albino murders. That’s part of your job where the regular cops have failed.

    1. Philosophy is taught separately from theology in Seminaries, both at degree level. To say the bishop should remove the perk in his eye is a fallacy of haste generalization as the one who was with bone is a shame to catholic and non catholics. Mind you that person is also a Malawian. Can we say all Malawians are guilty?

    1. bwanji osamufunsa wansembe wake anamangidwa uja nawonso there are doing the same business but they are complaining if sakuziwapo kathu chamba bas

  13. Well said Bishop and I won’t argue with u on that bcoz u have talked sense.

    These intelligence or what u call spy officers are really pathetic.

    Why they failed to dismantle the market for albino killers?????

  14. Well done our honest bishop. There’s no professional intelligence agencies in the country. They are a bunch of untrained party cadres who just terrorise members of the opposition and claim allowances. Indeed if they were well trained and organised most of the crimes happening in the small and disorganised country would have been easy jobs to detect. Everything in this country is a pity. We can as well bring back Scoltland yard to start a new professional intelligence network. Not what we are seeing now. They are able to arrest opposition politicians but are afraid to protect vulnerable citizens albino all over the country.
