Chakwera blasts Mutharika, salary hike ‘unethical’: Malawi in crisis
Leader of opposition in Parliament Lazarus Chakwera has said the prospect of a large pay rise for President, vice president, ministers and MPs including himself was “simply unethical” at a time when the economy is ailing and public-sector workers want better pay.
Chakwera during a news conference on Monday accused President Peter Mutharika of engineering a salary increase for himself, his deputy, ministers and lawmakers and later defer his new pay to gain political mileage.
He said the hefty pay rise is “wrong” and illegal because they were done without the approval of the Parliament.
“We never at any time discussed about this, the President has just done that on his own,” said Chakwera who was visibly charged.
He said: ” I don’t think its right to affect this pay rise at a time when nurses, teachers, people in the private sector are going through a pay squeeze and facing incredibly difficult economic circumstances.”
“I am told the president has rejected the hike but who has received the money so far, who approved the increment. Why am I just hearing this from the media. This in my understanding is meant to divert attention of Malawians from real issues. I believe in servant leadership how one man can approve such huge increment without members of Parliament,” queried Chakwera.
Commenting on the salary hike issue, MCP parliamentary spokesman, Joseph Njobvuyalema cited Section 82 being the law which gives powers for the salary of President and his vice to be increased by parliament with consultation of the president.
Chakwera, who is also Malawi Congress Party (MCP) president, said it would be incomprehensible to millions of taxpayers who pay the salary of public office holders to see the new package implemented.
He called on government to listen to the cries of public servants and reminded the Democratic Progressive Party government that they had promised to remunerate civil servants adequately if voted into office.
Chakwera said it is unfortunate that government is failing to resolve the impasse with the Judiciary over salary hike, accusing President Mutharika of not showing seriousness on issues of national importance.
The MCP president also accused government for failing to resolve the ‘Nac-gate’ – National Aids Commission(NAC) where cash was given to Muhlakho wa Alhomwe and Beautify Malawi Trust (BEAM).
He requested the institutions to refund the money to NAC.

He too should not accept the increament to demonstrate that he means what he says. Other wise all hear turn to mere noise.
Losers MCP
A Mutharika sangayendetse dziko. Timadziwa kuti m’bale wawo uja adaliko ndi nzeru osati awa ai. He is so slow to think, imagine the way he talks and articulates issues, he is so empty and numb. Mulungu amafuna a Malawi tiwone kusiyana kwa mtsogoleri ndi mtumiki. Mtsogoleri amachita zokomera iye, pamene mtumiki amachita zokomera anthu ambiri. Awa sangatithandize. Koma zili bwino zedi chifukwa tibvutika tonse pamodzi ndi amene amapanga phokoso lokondwera kuti Pitala wawina. Boti likumira iri.
Otithandiza aja tiyiwale sangabwere ai chifukwa tisayiwale kuti Boma la DPP ndilomwelo lidathamangitsa azungu aja. Lero mukuwafuna, zibwana eti? Azingopha nthawi mpaka tifinyika eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bola Pitalayo ndi anzakewo akudyatu, koma inu ndi ine ndiye tilira mpaka kutopa.
chakwera is right
Munakana anthu abwino kufuna mbavayi (APM) ndiye mukulira chiani a Malawi, tiyeni Nazi simunati mudziwaso
very disappointed and disgusting,i mean realy,poor Malawi.
You malawians! U don’t know what you want, u already rejected Chakwera, you’re fools.
Stop complaining that’s wat you voted for
Chakwera is a hypocrite, he is receiving his new hefty salary.
Amalawi majority ndi kupusa kumativuta pompano brother wake wa munthu ameneyu wativuta ngati kwambiri kupha anthu osalakwa ,chauta wamutenga ,brother kufuna kutenga boma mwakuba, zakanika apo mukamuvoteranso,umbuli umenewu udzatha liti? kulemerako adzingolemera okha basi pano ndi izo ivutika ndi nomwenu kaya zanu komko
mutharika has 4goten dat malawi iz a republic not a kingdom as he thinks.why this huge increment?as a president try to be democratic and not autocratic
Nonsensical Chakwera. Unathawanji mkachisi wa Yehoha? You are not a better person to comment on moral issues
Matako ako. Don’t you know kuti religion does not run counter to politics. There are several faith based NGOs/devolopmental projects aimed at uplifting peoples welbeing? If andale alipowa are frastrating religious guys efforts ndiye asayendetse bwato lomwe likufuna kumiza anthu amulungu? Chakwara is on the right track matako ako! Galu!
He has to mesa ndi leader of opposition
Who’s better between Chakwera & Mutharika, you malawians you will die poor, now you have to face a music, APM Bomaaaaaaaaaaa.
Nonsensical Maggie Lucius, even the name shows you do not follow the bible if you are a Christian. God took out all circular leaders, for God fearing people to lead. This PITALA is a nonsense guy, with little judgement of critical issues. He can not make independent decisions as President, akumayendetsa boma A chaponda A gudo, a kweni ndi wena. A President must be able to say no or yes. Let his yes be, and his no stand for good. This president is very childish at his age. kaya ndiwakwanu, izo ndizanu, koma Mulungu amulanga momwe adagwetsera m’bale uja, muona sipapita nthawi nayeso apita. Zikubwelatu, a malawi siopusa akuwona.
If our MPs are sensible enough let them reject this increament and shame that devil, the so-called Professor. Apa ndiye bola Amayi omwe aja ndithu! And olo Chaka sichinathe koma atikwana kale. Ambuye tiomboleni Ku ng’azi zimenezi..
guys i wonder why this man went into power, does malawi have plotical ideologies? why is that every leader we elect turn our back forgetting the promises he made to us, is it because most of we dont politacal squables or your taking advantage of our constitution since it is silent in ,many sensitive issues? malawian leaders are not inerested in putting this country to a better position but dump and be take as reference by westerners in conducting doctrial thesis towards economics and poverty, our leaders want to be on the map yet they are not concerned that that they are living in the same country they are dumping why not first mutisiye penapake pa boo then go use maccvieli principle or marx no wory…… a profff.. ur big man we salute you that title its simple no but plz any way philophers can not make good leaders but who?…….
I hope Chakwera is not just playing politics here. Why did the MCP spokes person Jessie Kabwira initially defend the increments? It could be that Chakwera was party to the whole thing but sensing the public mood, he has senced a chance to gain some political milage out of the issue hence distancing himself from the issue and cricising the whole thing. Our political leaders from both sides of the political devide have shown (over the years) that they can disagree on other issues but when it comes to their remunerations they agree 100 percent. All they care about is themselves and they do not care about the voters (the public).
what took you so long to repsond to this. why know. changu patawuni DR ur the leader of opposition you should stay current with Malawi issues. you should have responded to this like a month ago. please continue
moto kuti buuu ku palace walankhula mzwanya , to be honest this country has no president i don’t know may be a thief president yes this one we have and is at Kamuzu palace what a shame bvuto lobera mavoti ndiimenelo mumaba mukudziwa kuti simungathe kuyendetsa dziko kaya Mbendera koma ukuziwona zomwe umalira zija waonogetsa dziko may God punish remember the word of God says NO PEACE FOR THE WICKED
Very sad for our man from hom. Dyela silizatha kwathu kuno
Nanga a chakwerawo bwanji sakunena kuti aikana increament yo. Be srious don’t just gain political mileage.
tiyeni nazoni
MCP, which is which please? The so called Jessie says salary increase nothing wrong as MPs spent a lot to their constituents. Now the president comes in to say the president is greed by single handedly increasing salaries without the approval of parliament. For once you politicians be serious, we don’t expect to have two different comments emanating from same political party otherwise we will conclude to say you are also clueless while on the bench what more if you are given the mantle to govern. We are watching and observing your fittiness, so jack up and clean your house before pointing clueless fingure.
Mulira kuti Pyooo!!!!!!!!!! simudati…..simmati mumafuna professa ndi zimenezo tiyeni nazoni….Not only do I question the intelligence of the average Malawian vote but I also seriously doubt if this nation will ever lift itself out of serial poverty,I then question the thinking capacity and capabilities of an average Malawian….We hated Joyce Banda for simply being a woman?we pushed her out of power? Muluzi was probaly the worse president ever but we gave him two terms,Bingu got two terms but Joyce Banda got half a term despite her willingness to listen and engange..so I question myself was Joyce Banda any worse that Muluzi and Bingu…I dont think so…she just came ahead of time..a leader whose time had not yet come, she was plucked from the future,and she was a woman….Despite taking over government when the economy was on its deathbed,there were clear sign that the key performance indicators were slowly improving….the revered DPP are reversing that little gain and its not difficult to see that…we voted this and this we shall live with it…painful to say,but this is what we wanted….and we got it
Too bad Mr President, you are better off following the procedures. We know you are trying to silence opposition MPs but this is not the way. Govern and guide this country from neutral its in MR President.
Chequer more fire. They should indeed refund aids money and am happy that you never asked nor were you aware of the salary increment. All you were interested in is the running of government objectively.
Malawi has become a banana republic, the leaders are used to stealing poor peoples money , no shame , no morality . Why form these organizations when they do not have money to run them?. The sad thing is the majority of the people are poor, extremely poor. The donors are tired putting their money in a bottomless pit .
I lost my vote voting for this, rule this time four years will come. Damn
Iiiiii koma nyasaland ayi ndithu kulira sikuzatha kkkkkkkk
That’s my president associating with the poor but advise Jessie to guard her mouth. She should not comment on issues that MCP as a party has not discussed. If she wants to air her personal opinion let her indicate so otherwise we don’t want her comments to put our party into disrepute. Reject their stupid pay hike and put them to shame!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Malawi Constitution section 82. The President And Vice- President Shall Receive Such Salary, Allowance Or Pension As May, From Time To Time, Be Determined By An Act Of Parliament In CONSULTATION With President.
it is unfair and insult to malawians
-Uyu ndi m’busadi wonama zedi. M’busayu akunena kuti Purizidenti adakana kuti unethical. Kodi nthawi imeyi purezidenti ankanena chiyani kuti chili unethical. Izi zikutanthauza kuti anthuwa adakambirana za ma increment. nanga mchifukwa chiyani akuonetsa ngati sakuziwa china chilichonse. Komanso mtolankhani wazodiaki atamufunsa kuti ndalamazo alandira kapena ayi. Funsoli Chakwera adayenara kuyankha kuti inde ndilandira kapena ayi sindilandira. Yes or no. Ochakwera udathawa funsoli chifukwa udasazika kuti uli kupita ku bank kuti ukaone ngati walandira salary yasopano mpaka lero sadabwerenso kwa mtolankhaniyo kuti amuuze chilungamo. Chakwera is playing double standards.
abweze this is bad
Chakwera mentioned during campaign that wogwira ntchito alipidwe bwino. Kabwira complained that DPP yadzikundikira mipando wokha Peter decides to improve salary structures for all but pends it for implemetation later when the situation is right. What is wrong with that Mr Chakwera .Mwangodikira 2019
Komatu, abale. Dziko ili lobedwa usiku Amalawi mukugona. Kungozindikira mmawa Mayi wathu opemphera Anastazia Msosa akulumbilitsa anthu akuba…Dziko linabwerera ku agenda ya mid-night six.

I AM A LOMWE & DPP BUT CHAKWERA IS RIGHT. PLEASE SACK YOUR ADVISERS THEY ARE USELESS.
CANCEL THE INCREAMENTS, MAKE THE JUDICIARY AND ACB GO BACK TO WORK & MAKE A NATIONAL ADDRESS ON THE CRISIS WE ARE GOING THROUGH. PLEASE READ THE WRITING ON THE WALL.
Munalonjedza kuti tisiya kulandila ma chenji bwana………! Nanga ndalamazo zilikuti…..Mundibwezele Voti yanga bwana. !
Criticisms by Rev. Chakwera regarding the so-called raises do not hold H2O!
To salvage some credibility all the good Reverend needs to do is say ‘ I’m not going to accept the raise’ (single quotation marks because those are my words). Thus taking a page from APM and his VP Chilima. Otherwise oChakwera mwagwa nazo ndale baasi.
MCP’s cohesion regarding policy on this issue is crumbling too: what’s up with contradicting Ms. Kabwila-Kapasula? She tried to make a very weak argument to partly justify the raise; and today, she’s being contradicted. Who is the real boss here?
It has been suggested, ad nauseum, by many people that the lady, should be removed as spokesperson. Otherwise MCP will implode within a year or two, thanks to her amateurish hebaviour. Or has Njobvuyalema now replaced K-K, already?
And now reality is coming to the fore: there is absolutely no way Ms. K-K
can genuinely operate within MCP, considering the despicable and criminal treatment her family, and her group (JWs) experienced under the founder of that party! The Ngwazi wamuyaya! Perhaps she’s just an opportunist, or waganyu (phony) member of the Party.
yes, these are troubled waters but malawi will sail through, but iam not confortable with the way some radiostations report about these things.my questions is,is it possible for people i.e president and others to start receiving money before paliament approval?
it seems like some radio stations enjoy when things are not okey in political parties let alone the the nation.
for example , zodiak has beed airing alot on this one in unbalnced manner, mentioning the president and vice only,how about leader of opposition, mos and others.
-the claimed cctv tapes from kamuzu palace only talking about the side of ACB,why not asking the minister himself to balance the story.
-hnr jumbe not wanted as chair of agriculture in paliament e.t c
-NAC chair says money did not go to NIB , but the way you reported, it as if u have strong umboni that this happened.
Nation news- when it is possitive about politians,stories are put inside, but when its negative front page, koma zoona
Malawi is for all of us, if Malawi goes Tatanic, everyone will do the same, why dont you offer constructive views to these poeple
Ngati akuti sanalandile, bwanji osawafunsa okonza za ndalamowo mwachibisebise nkupeza umoni woona.
-to the president, you have time to address the nation on some of these issues, fumbi ndiwekha, don’t leave Nankhumwa alone as a leader, you to be seen.
-abusa, kodi achakwera, mwasokeradi inum mumalola bwanji anthu anu adzilankhula choncho, i;e mayi kabwira, kodi sizingatheke inuyo nkumuyimbira peter nkunfunsa mmene zinthu zikunvekela, mukungokhala ngati you enemie bwanji, ngati mutatero iye osaonetsa chanzeru, amalawi akuona ndipo amayankhula zanzeru.
chili kwa nzako nkumati chigwire nyanga kodi munakakhala inu munakatani?
-Donor aid is no longer trust worthy as they tnemselves have problems at home to solve and other factors.
I rest my case
Mubweza ndalamazo muli ndichibwana mbavazo Peter ndi hule lakelo kuba ndalama poyerayera agaluinu you must be very stupid.
Can someone fact-find the academic credentials for Peter. I doubt his capabilities. The guy seems to be of low IQ. The face is as dull as his brain.
Mungolimbana pa za ziii. Ndani safuna ndalama. Ma MP onse 193 limdzi ndi presidfent akufuna ndalama yomweyi. Zikanganani
So is it possible dat the legislature’s salary could be increased without parliament approval?
While section 82 gives the Presudent the right to increase his salary without consultation , Mr. Njobvuyalema, Chakwera’s augment and all citizen of Malawi is, why should the whole Pressident do that at a time when Malawi is at the cross roads and at a complete stand stil this shows gree, stupidity and selfishness at it’s highest order
If it was just to gain political mileage , hey then you should knw it was ill timed- you should really be fired
Ndalama za edzi anapeleka ku bungwe lotchedwa matako a a lomwe koma malawi
@ Will Chilongo, please read the passage carefully. Hon. Njobvuyalema was trying to clarify the issue. The president has no powers to make unilateral decisions on public funds.
Jesse many time speaks for herself as an individual rather than on behalf of MCP. Look at the foolish DPP MPs all quiet, following the leader even when they are being drowned!! Jump, they say how high Sir!! Up to the moon, okay Sir!! Please don’t forget that there have been many contradictions also from DPP camp on several issues.
Chakwera is the one who is speaking here on behalf of himself and to some extent MCP because of the way APM has presented the salary hikes, each mp has been put in an awkward catch 22 decision making power to decide whether or not to take the salary hike. Peter should just have vetoed the increase and no mp or minster would have been subjected to this humiliating and stupid situation of being exposed as either greedy or not greedy. Typical DPP hidden agendas!!!
M’busa wonama iwe , wafeki, kanamize nyau zinzakozoo, ife tamva zomwe wanena mayi wako wopusayu Kabwira
This is the MCP and Chakwera I know.
Timadabwatu ife.
Keep it up Rev Dr.
Now,Mr,leader of Opposition,while it is in order for you to argue that it is illogical for the hefty package hike,how do you reconcile your statements with that from your spokesperson,Kabwila kapasule.She mouthed out loud just yesterday that yes it is in order for the salary hikes as parliamentarians are lowly paid and what they get is not even enough to convince voters to usher them into the house again. Who is fooling who here.Should we say Kapasule speaks on her own.If this is case then MCP is treading on dangerous grounds as Kapasule has made many outragious statements in the name of the party. I have questioned time without number,where is Chakwera in the midst of the void statements Kapasule has always made. Your statement, with due respect, leader of opposition, smacks of mere political rhetoric aimed at saving face. You are being reactive to public sentiments rather than proactive.Sooner, we will not be surprized that you are recieving the said mouth watering pay hike and that will be the last we will hear from you.You will be silenced. Peter Muthalika is playing the game smartly and he has scored sorry to say.The losers are poor Malawians. I and my fellow Malawians have lost a party that promised us with a vision,in the name of MCP and lo,we perish as the vision is lost.
Now you are talking my leader Chakwera, that is what we want to hear from you as the leader of the opposition. I would give you one good advice about DPP, for whatever pronouncement they make there is always a hidden agenda in the background!!! So don’t rush to agree or accept whatever they say!!
The only thing dpp understands is money, they think money can buy them loyalty, money can silence all their critics and for that reason alone it is what is making them steal left, right and centre!!! Money money money!!!And people easily fall for their money trick, stolen money for that matter!!!
Chakwera that is the fire that dpp understands, expose them, embarass them and shame them for all Malawi to see that these so called dpp educated, well travelled figures are actually the most foolish of them all, mbuzi zeni zeni!!! They give educated people, a bad name, shame you dpp people!!!
People leaving with HIV are going to suffer because the money for mankhwala is being eaten by what ever they call Muhlakho walomwe it means that the president is not a God fearing man he doesn’t have love. Now people who voted should learn a lesson. Kuchoka m’beseni kunka mulichelo kenoko agwera pamoto. Tinkawawuza ife izi yaii ali ife zomwezo akhawule!!!!!
A sensible person could not say MCP is foolish, cant you see how people are suffering in Malawi everything has gone up, no water and the president is rising his salary it doesn’t make sense to me. He should step down!!!!!
Mighty MCP shall never die! DPP ndiyomwe ikuzikumbira manda apa ndithu vuuuu!
chakwera is right I even doubt if this APM us a true professor? ??? He seems to have no common sense at all. Unima issues failed him too and now legal personnel he is failing to resolve instead he hikes his salary pali nzeru yapa??? Your kids are Crying for food, You tell Them ufa kulibe then Another Minute kuziphikira nsima wekha nkuhahaza ana ako akuona??? Ndinzeru za professor chonchi? Aaaah akuluakulu can we rise up and remove this failure than waiting for God to remove him by cardiac.
Peoples Party is the only trusted opposition party in Malawi at the moment; MCP, UDF not to mention other briefcase parties have joined or are working with DPP because of personal political and financial gains.
Where is loud mouthed Dr Jesse kapasule kakabwira, what is she saying about it.
Hearing pp spokesperson ken musonda on Zodiak this evening one has a feeling that Malawi is indeed in a crisis. pp has called for hon Goodall Gondwe immediate resignation and labelled him as a liar for misleading the nation and state president. Come on CP, what has happened to my once loved mighty mcp?
U stupid un educated people. did u hear that chakwera received money? he said there is no any increment it was a big lie from the DPP. please listen with sober minds
happy new year and happy christmas apm and cohorts. your brother may have been a thief but he was workaholic. your achiements since you came to power is the unfortunate wedding with that lowly hundsome wife. pull your socks man. borrow a leaf from calista. eeesh.
Chakwela is right, people are dieying in hospitals, salaries for civil servants can not be paid in time,our roads are not good at all,no clean water in our cities, fuel prices are going up every time, food prices are going up always, the best you have done to increase your monthly salary and your friend,you guys are selfish
Ndale za DPP ndizimenezo kufuna kulakwitsa anthu ena basi, muyaluka simunati.
Mathanyula and Saulos have left MPs and Ministers to hang, they have played you guys . If I were you I would be steaming hot. Koma umphawi ndiwobvuta none of the greedy MPs/Ministers have raised a red flag. You are in the same boat stupid fools. 2019 is just around the corner
Our president doesn’t respect the ‘August house’, hence doing things in his own accord. Hw can he refuse to give increment to civil servants n give himself n his lieutenant a pay hike?, thus unreasonable. We ar watching lke a hawk. 5yrs izophela manje.
Well done Chakwera, would you please then forgo implementation of increament of leader of opposition’s salary, Sir?
a chakwela inu ndi mneneli wanu simumayamba mwakambilana kaye bwanji mumayankhula zosiyana nthawi zonse mneneli wanu akuzifuna ndalamazi
Mbuli iwe just keep quite. Mcp is right
This government is not serious to address the needs of people and i’m deeply foresighting wat catastrophic and devasting outcome will bring to innoncent souls in this country.just imagine 1kg of brown sugar is selling at the range of k600-k650 the question is where is malawi nation heading to?and wat type of leadership is this?all in all this is the wages of May 20 votes irregularities shame on maxon mbendera and you clue.PLEASE GOD RESCUE OUR CHILDREN
A Muthalika a Nakhumwa a Gondwe ndi Chimwemwe Banda dzana mwanama za CCTV Picture which never were and today mukunamanso za salaries being rejected. Who do you think you are fooling? Mukuyesa kuti boma ndi ndado eti?
Lazarus Chakwera was for the pay raise before he was against it; what a effing hypocrite!
FACT IS SOME OF COMENTS HERE FROM BAMUSI AND MALOPA AND DAUSI
Achepa amenewo achimwene!!! Asiyeni!!!
CHAKWELA B CAREFUL OF HOW YO SPOKSPERSON OPENS HER MOUTH.MOREOVER KABWILA MUST B SCHUD DAT HER SALARY WAS NOT MEANT TO B SPENT ON CONSTITUENTS.SHE SHUD NOT BEHAVELIKE NGUMUYA WHO THINKS AN OPOSITION MP CANNOT DEVELOP CONSTITUENCY.
Malawians wake up this us rubish. Let the whole country go to the street. Peter wa lephera impeachment basi. In other countries people would have demanded his resignation. Malawians wake up. This Peter has failed full time. As for Chakwera he is not a leader and can never run this country. What this country needs is a new person altogether none of the current politicians can do anything different they are all greedy.
Azitsogoleli bring the trueth on the ground, otsamango panga zopanda nzelu plz we need a leader

MCP dont fool us, you proposed salary in parliament and government rejected. Then you asked for Loan hike to buy expensive cars.Now you say opposite wait 2019.
Yep i can see a leader in you!
FELOW MALAWANS,APMS PLOT TO DISCREDIT CHAKWELA HAS BEEN CRACKED.AS I PROMISED I AM MR UN-SPINDOCTOR. BAMUSI AND MALOPA WIL NOT DECEIVE MALAWANS.LETS PUT THEM IN CHECK AS WE PLAY THE CHESS GAME,LHM.

41 is fool ,Chakwela is talking justice not u No:41,u talking rubbish that u can find in toilet or dust big, u are not thinking about Malawians u want to eat alone,if salary increase each & and every employees suppose to increase not few.
Nyasatimes, who said that Chakwera justified the pay rise? Did you really consult him? What is this now? Chakwera has indicated that he is hearing the pay rise from the media and you quote him wrongly that he supported the pay rise. So Peter has the audacity to do everything on his own without Parliament approval. Eeshi, Kulintchito ngati nthawi ya Malemu.
Chakwera had to do what is right whether he believes in it or not. Jessie is a baby in politics, she tried to justify a non starter. For every sane person, there would be no justification for such pay hikes at this moment. It is utter rubbish.
Mukumususa chakwera? Mwachita changu inu anthu amakashi gate. Mukumwabe mkaka, zittha ndipamene muzatseguke mmakutu athakati inu.
Get well soon because for sure you are sick. Once you are back on you feet, you will help rebuild and clean the mess as leader of opposition. You are even worse than DPP because as APM is staggering and falling attempting to pass through many GATES, you are busy snoring. Koma iwe Chakwera!
Sick and tired of these stupid, dirty, greedy politicians. Gents, don’t trust them, they are all the same, kudzikundikira chuma basi(End of Days)
Peter Mutharika was chosen by judge Kenyatta and not Malawians.
U may shows ur stupit again,posanyadila this powerfull speech
#41 kkkkkk a dunderhead. If you hate Chakwera for that sake zako izo. Today he has show how mature he is
When is the shutdown? We need a break from all this..zayamba kubowa..lets agree..no politics until after Christmas. .all parties in Malawi need software updates!!!
Sad this Chakwera person – I never voted for him because I did not think he was presidential material in the first place. People that have never earned money themselves, instead depend on congregations generosity (kupempha all the time) can not be trusted.
Now lets imagine for a moment that he is saying the truth for a moment – then:
1) Was Kabwila yesterday speaking on her own behalf or the party?
2) Is in control of the party at all – if the spokesman speaks for herself without consulting on the position of the party for crucial issues.
3) If Kabwila did not consult – can Chakwera then do the needful and FIRE Kabwila for bringing the party into such disrepute. If he does not fire Chakwera then we can all conclude Chakwera is a LIAR, like most of us Malawians who masquerade with bibles yet inflict so much pain to each other.
Sad this Chakwera Man of God (or is he?)
That’s my man
O Chakwera, tidakuuzani dzana lija kuti ndale ndi uchimo. Onani lero mwayamba kunama. Dzulo mudati chani pa nkhaniyi? Now you have seen that Peter has outsmarted you then you have resolted to lying. Jessie akupusitsani. The problem with you is that all your life you have been doing za ubusa so za economy, agriculture, ndale simungathe ayi.
Dziko liri m’manja mwa Agalu.

Chakwera has shown statesmanship in this case. You people that are criticising him know that he is right. Blame your APM for always cutting corners when doing issues of national importance. Gig up Laz.
MCP is a confused team. They are always contradictory to each other. This is not their first time. Comedy anayiyamba kalekale. For example, on federalism, Jessie says MCP is for federalism, Tembo says no federalism, Chakwera says MCP is in the middle. Salary hike: Yesterday MCP justified it, today MCP says this salary hike is unethical. Hahahahaha complete comedy.
Destroying PP’s Cashgate and DPP K92 billion gate by refusing to negotiate with the judiciary currently on strike. This is helping the government which fears exposure and complicity if the Cashgate cases proceed as expected. The Judiciary will be blamed for cashgate in the end.
That is another DPP hidden agenda.
Izi ndiye zitinso abale. Za mmbuyo mwa alendo. Ndiyetu bola Baba Atembo ajatu. Kodi alikuti? Ababa bwerani muzatenge mpando wanu izi sizitithandiza ataa!

aaaaa…. anthunu m’ngakugahena ine ndanenetsa nd2, zoona inu basi nthawi iliyonse malawi azingokhalila misozi?Kodi ndi ncthito zanji zomwe mukugwira kuti muzizikwezela malipiro
Politics in Malawi is a business so this is harvesting time. Even if it goes to Parliament who’s going to oppose it. Lets build our country rather than pointing fingers to each other and always remember the four fingers point to yourself.
Chakwera never agreed to new salary payments. He is quite correct to come out and give his views to the nation. The truth is that there was no deliberation in parliament on this issue. However, let’s not sleep here. The rejection of new salary by the president might be a bid to silence the eminent strike to take place in many sections of government. But let us stand film till government stops these nonsense tactics. Chakwera keep on pointing out what is nonsense till you take over in 2019.
Mcp is heading for disaster, a fish starts to rote in the head. Mcp who are u trying to fool, today positive tomorrow negative. Only mad people will buy ur sentiments. Andale whether they know God or not remains andale. It is only foolish to trust them 100%
i trust them,its good to hear direct from the man himself,zoyamba zija zinali za bodza,mukuwadziwa anyasatimes inu.
Ngati zinali zabodza bwanji a Chakwera sakunena kuti ndalamazo iwowo salandira azikana? Read again the article nothing of such has been said. I agree with X, only below average thinkers can trust again this man called Chakwera.
apa ndiye bola Tembo yemwe ujatu,awa ndiye satithandiz
another lier like the others people.
reason why go now with word back?
i can ashore you that not even one is good look what iam saying.

put young and diferent blood in the country but a true malawian and a guy who loves his country and people
Please just write Chichewa or chiyawo or any other language other than the injustice you are doing to this foreign language (ENGLISH!)

In Malawi important issues are approved outside outside parliament, just consider the following: the issue of new no plates at RTD during Bingu. 2 the issue of tariff hike of passports, and RTD fees and this presidential salary hike during APM reign. I think parliament is of no use
DPP FOR LIFE!!
What Malawians want to hear from you Chakwera is whether you are going to receive this new salary or not. I read this article with much keen to see whether you will receive this or not. Why are you silent on that? Do you really think Malawians are daft to the extent that we don’t know what is going on here? You have lost me buddy. I was one of your number one fans. You are far below baba Tembo. I am missing him already.
If this is true that the president PPEOVED THE SALARY INCREASE WITHOUT CONSULTING PARLIAMENT WE ARE IN TROUBLE IN THIS COUNTRY. THIS GOES TO SHOW HOW THESE GRTEEDY AND CORRUPT PEOPLE TREAT THE TREASURY LIKE THGEIR OWN PURSE. HOW CAN APM DO THISA WHILE THE COUNTRY IS GOINTH THROUGH FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES? I KNOW JB DID THE SAME BY PRETENDING TO DEFRE HER RAISE AND YET SHE COLLECTED HEFTY ALLOWANCES THROUGH COW DISTRIBUTUION. MALAWIANS WE MUST HOLD OUR LEADERS ACCOUNTABLE. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE! THE PRESIDENT SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO CONTROL THE COUNTRY’S PURSE WITHOUT PARLIAMENT’S INPUT THIS IS WHAT BREEDS CORRUPTION. IT IS OF NO SURPRISE THEN THAT THESE PEOPLE STEAL AT WILL IF THEY CAN JUST ORDER THE TREASURY TO DO WHAT EVER THERY LIKE.UNBELIEVABLE!!
Long way to go….cliff to climb
Kodi timve ziti? Dzulo mumati Chakwera wavomela malipiro atsopano lero Chakwera wakana. Timva ziti? Zachamba basi.Mukuona ngati a Malawi tikukondwa?
Zitinamizani mumtimamo mukusangalala
A Chakwera, kodi timve ziti.? Dzulo you said it is justifiable, today ukunena zina. Kodi mukuona ngati sitikuona. Mwayamba kumva kukoma. Inu muzingokhala phee ngati mwasowa chotsutsa. Nonse ndi amodzi.
Chakwera slowly but surely becoming a disgrace!! Your spokesperson,Dr Kabwila has told the nation this is justifiable as no MP can retain his/her seat with what they are getting now. You mean,she was speaking as an MP or MCP Spokesperson? Don’t take us for granted,Chakwera. It is you who is trying to gain political mileage after realizing people are angry. We are not too blind to see that you are greedy. Stop fooling yourself,you knew it hence Kabwila’s comments. That statement was from MCP and she is the official spokesperson hence the press briefing as useless as you have ended up contradicting each other. Why can’t you,as a party,speak with one voice. Shame!!!
Rev. Chakwera, you’re a liar. You and your Kabwira said the hike is justifiable, today you criticise the president for the increment. You’ re no better than Mutharika, infact you are even worse. Chakwera wabodza. A Chakwera, tabwererani komwe munali, ndale sizikukukhalani.
Malawians can cry until their hearts can come out no one will listen to them. I said no one will listen to them. What Malawians must know is that Joyce Banda did not loose the election. There was a conspiracy to oust her because she was against corruption. The whole government system knew that if Joyce Banda won they could not benefit with her administration that is why they ousted her. Today civil servants are crying. CRY. Because you are the one who helped rigging the election. You can cry, even harder no one will hear you. You think DPP will listen to you teachers, civil servants, I don’t think so. Just cry, may be harder.
You’ve spoken well bro. Let them cry harder. May be the stones they had put in govt can develop ears and hear them. They’ve brought Malawi many steps backward.
Can you then explain how she managed to buy 200 vehicles in 2 years. Does this not seem akward to you? Where did she get the funds? No one even knows even if duty was paid at all. Dont follow politicians blindedly.
ki ki ki … Joyce Banda was against corruption… ki ki ki
Thats nonsense! Jb wakuba ngati amene uja ukufuna kunena chani iwe. U are pp fan and mwinanso mwana wake. In just two years anaba kokwanila ndi Lutepo u think we dont know. What about ESCOM house?
Joyce siwakuba and kunama wangonamako , you have cursed your self its like wanamizila mai ako, Joyce was a great leader and deal munapanga kuti pa ma vote Joyce mumuike pa number 3 and chakwera pa number 2 yadziwika ndipo amalawi adziwa kuti anawina ndi Joyce, God will punish you
Maybe there is no pay rise in the first place. Vuto lokhala ndi messenger ma office a boma ngati ma sources ndi limeneli
IF TWO OF THEM DPP TOP MEMBERS HAVE SUSPENDED THEIRS THEN ALL OF YOU, IF YOU LOVE MALAWIANS ALSO CANCELL OR SAY NO IMMEDIATELY.
NYASATIMES FOLLOW UP IN A RIGHT MANNER YOU TOOK WORDS OF KABWILA AS COMMING FROM CHAKWELA, PLEASE AMEND THAT.
GOD SAVE THE SOULS OF MALAWIANS
This Chakwera man masquerading as a church reverend never stops to amaze some of us. Your own party spokesperson confirmed and justified the increment. Even the Clerk of Parliament (COP) confirmed that the salaries were effected in October 2014, how come that you feigning ignorance now? I thought the National Budget was approved by Parliament including you or may be you were sleeping? Wawona kuti akupaka chitedze ndiye chakuyabwa now kuwuwa zaziiii. You are hypocrite of highest order.
Chakwera just demonstrated the kind of leadership our country must have. Keep it up.
Timve ziti? Woøo greedy pple wailt 4 pay back time APM ur playing with multice techanic wl not take u anywhere soon. Munyinu cobra sata wali kufwa pa 77yrs imwe a APM when.
Does Rev. Chakwera know what he is talking about? He lacks info on what is happening or simpy does not understand what is going on. Civil servants salaries were raised. Salaries for other workers in the public service not classified as civil servants (though civil servants to boot) can only be revised to match those in civil service through the newly adopted SALARY HARMONISATION policy. if u dont know what is happening in govt, please keep quite and turn down salaries of MPs and leader of opposition. Nothing to offer!!!!!!!
Then why are there still strikes prevailing in some organs of the government you? He is talking about all civil servants and not segregatory pay rise. I think you are the who is not getting it!
MCP is a confused lot. Yesterday, 7th Dec, they justified the pay hike. Today, 8th Dec, they are saying the pay hike is unjustified. MCP is not justified to comment on these money issues. They’re so money hungry that they justify a pastor abandoning his church in search for more money. Malawians are justified not to have voted for this party into the country’s leadership. But Malawians are not justified either for trusting DPP. Malawi lost a huge opportunity on 20 May to elect a president who would have developed this country. Mama JB was the only person who had the real passion to develop Malawi and its people.
The cashgate mistress is another tragedy! Trust politicians at your peril!
Peter Mutharika is a liar!
Mumafuna APM ndiameneyu kuba ndikosayamba walandila lake zamiyezi iwiri pano akuti iyeyo ayi koma Chakwera munya muona
Bwana it is good that you have spoken your mind. Your are the Great Leader even Peter Mutharika knows that, mchifukwa chake akakuwonani safuna kukupatsani moni.
And when he remembers what happened on 21 MAY,2014, amasowa nanu mtendere.
Koma ife zimenezi zimatipatsa kulimbika kwakukulu ndipo tikudziwa kuti zoona zidzadziwika soon or later.
What God has blessed no Man can curse.
So they all think they can play with our minds over their gluttony! Look how the doctor Reverend has played into the hands of Petulo!
I think Chakwera and Jessie should also stop acting up! Otherwise they are doomed to the opposition benches or even entirely out of Parliament.
This is what I expected from the God fearing leader of opposition, not the statement I heard yesterday that he had defended the salary raises for the president, vp, ministers and mps. The nation would now see the sense, love and God fearing sense in this statement from Dr Chakwera. Let’s not just support national destructive moves by the government just because of our affiliations or relations. Let’s put our suffering people and country at heart.
Chakwera and Mutharika, do not take Malawians for a ride. People are very sensitive about these issues. Yesterday, you approved the salary rise and today you are contradicting yourself. Idiot!! I suppose that the president has rescinded the pay rise for him as well that is why he is crying foul. Both are hypocrites. Malawians should not trust both Chakwera and Mutharika!! Chonde a Malawi!!
MCP should be a confused party. So you mean to tell us that the nonsense from Kabwila was from her own head? She has let you down badly and are you still keeping her as the party’s spokesperson. And why has it taken you ages to respond to NAC gate? I for one has completely lost confidence in politicians and we just need to import our next President period. Finally are zMCP lawmakers accepting this pay hike or not?
Now you are talking , the first statement was misleading . We have learned the truth from you.
MCP , don’t make contradicting statements.
Tell my good friend Jessie to come up with any party statement after consultation with her fellow party members.
Mavuto alipo
No Malawian is as foolish as APM
No Malawian is as greedy as APM
No Malawian is as corrupt as APM
No Malawian believes in tribalism as APM
No Malawian believes in nepotism as APM
OUT OUT OUT OUT OUT APM
IN MCP IN MCP IN MCP
mcp with who???????????????
Chakwera why fooling us’
Nenani mfundo ngati muli ndi nzelu musathamangile kumunena munthu za personal inorder to divert ppls attention just like your president
I totally agree with Chakwera! APM has staged this to look like he is siding with the people otherwise how can he turn down a salary increment which was never was! So one would ask, where was the proposed salaries presented? Was this budgeted for in the 2014/15 budget? Where will the money come from at a time when we are struggling financially to meet the budget?
Hypocrite Rev Chakwera , then why accept the new salary? Iwe ndi Rev Lemani ubusa wanu umodzi!
I thought we were told dzulo dzulo li that Chakwela said the rise was justified?
Timva ziti?
Kkkk koma ndiye timve ziti. Maybe there are two different pay raises.
Am also wondering kuti tigwireno ziti. Dzulo tauzidwa kuti chakwera ndi jessie avomeleza nde pano tikuuzudwanso zina. eish
Mwanama abwana, si Chakwera ai koma Kabwila Kapasula. On the other hand I think any salary adjustment can be justifiable, koma zisakomere akuluakulu ai. Panopo ife makasufe ndife tikuvutika kwambiri, ma bwana amayenda amatenga ma alawansi, ndalama zawonso ndizambiri kale pa mwezi. Pitala akanakhala wina akadati 168% kwa anafe, ndipo 10-24% kwa Presidane ndi wenawo. Thats my logical thinking, dziko likadawombera mmanja.
Komanso chonde, nthawi ya Kamuzu malipilo akakwera amafikila wonse kuphatikiza ma kampani. Pano Boma lidalowa atambwali okha-okha saganizila za anthu ogwila ntchito m,makampani ndi mabungwe. Nawonso akuvutika, chifukwa mmakampani mabwana akulandila zindarama zosasimbika pamene ife apansi amatipatsa nyenyeswa zotsala pa gome la mfumu. Please change the labour poliscy to suit all. Salary adjustments should not be at the descretion of the bosses of various organisations, rather it should be a national issue applicable to all. This will force companies to consider their workers. There should be factors of influencing salary adjustments like inflation, commodity pricing etc. Makampai akumapanga phindu lochuluka koma ambiri saliwonetsa dala kuti azitinamiza kuti akuluza pofuna kutimana malipilo.
why have you LAZARUS CHAKWERA gratefully accepted and justified the pay rise to yourself! You are just a bunch of hypocrites together with your Mutharika! A Malawi ndi wochenjela osatinyengapo apa! YOU ARE ALL GREEDY bastards!
.pamenepa timve ziti?! Timve za Jessy Kabwira kapena za CHakwera?
Are these people serious? Like really? Do we really look like such fools to them? Yesterday Chakwera approved his 168% hike saying its justifiable. His talkatively useless Kabwila even went further to say they deserve the raise because they do so much for the community, which is a huge lie as they are never in their communities once they have been elected into office. Today he is standing on the podium preaching peace to the poor? What a wolf in white clothing!
Imagine, so which is which ?
Chakwera, will you receive the new salary or not?
simple question that needs a simple answer?
If hes calling the hike, unethical and extravagant rhen why should he get it? The man is not half as greedy as you and your propaganda presidents
