Chakwera has 2 choices: Format DPP system or leave and suffer consequences
In their time, errand boys of Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) were ruthlessly frank in reminding all of us, almost every day, with that apparently disdaining adage ‘DPP is a system’.
That adage was well packaged and summed it all for DPP: It meant they are running a scheme of defrauding Malawians through planting their boys and girls in strategic positions of every key government institution.
It explains, fellow Malawians, why, when they ruled, anyone who wore blue soar easily to a superior class—becoming untouchable as the Aryan race of German’s Adolf Hitler’s days.
President Lazarus Chakwera should have known, which I believe he does—but, perhaps, he kept or he keeps underestimating the power of the system DPP planted in the country’s governance system.
At that point of entry, yes after winning the June 23 fresh elections, Chakwera—in the days he was silent instituting his government—could have thought through and make tough decisions bordering on destroying the system DPP left in the governing structures.
What Chakwera did, in inhering and continuing with a government structure infested with DPP’s system, is akin to a husband who divorces his wife but keeps the wife’s brother in the house.
Well, the consequences of Chakwera’s indecisions are here to see: leaking of examinations, frustrating his development projects, leaking of sensitive government documents—etc.
At this point, Chakwera has two choices. He should, right now, format government structures and flush out every element loyal to the DPP system; in that way, we will begin to see systematic changes.
Or, if he doesn’t, he should leave things as they are and remain silent when faced with consequences such as leakage of examinations.
But, just a reminder, Malawians are watching.
The man behind the collapse of health in Malawi. Cadet to the core
According to the law of this country any citizen has a right to associate with any political party of organisation of their choice. The so called Dpp people are also Malawians first and foremost, some of them even voted for Chakwera. This stupid mentality in this article is what creates dictators. Please resist this nonsense.
Now this is what will happen and what was feared a long time ago. People from the southern part of Malawi will be persecuted and sidelined in any position in govt. This kind of persecution will be the downfall of MCP. UTM will survive as it is properly covered across the regions. It remains that somehow government will have to find MCP loyalists to run and fire those not loyal to a party. This is a shame and strange even to think of. Now you have people baying for the blood of innocent lives just because they come from the… Read more »
I am a long serving clinical Officer in Mangochi. I worked with Dr George Chithope-Mwale in 2006 only to find out that he was promoted to Director of Queens in Blantyre within a short period. He only stayed for 3 months in Blantyre and was promoted to Director of Clinical Services at headquarters. He has been there for more that 15 years but has never visited Mangochi to appreciate clinical services. He rose fast because his father worked with most DPP members in his home district of Thyolo. He has been boasting that he had strong connections with DPP and… Read more »

Mind set change is needed,ddp supporters are also our brothers and sisters lets be honest regardless of them being greedy.my worry is this mentality will bring mtundu wina umodzi omwe utizuze ngat momwe alomwe ankachitila
Truth of the matter is that DPP infiltrated every nook and cranny of administration to ensure its evil agendas are in no way hampered at any stage of implementation. Word of advice to Tonse Alliance Leadership is to take seriously any information from whistle blowers and act without delay. For example, we’ve been told about the set up at ministry of health, MEDEF, MRA MACRA etc, etc but we seem not to see any T/ Alliance action. Chakwera must be more ruthless, but tactical, than he has hitherto been. It’s necessary and the good thing is that 60%+ of the… Read more »
I agree with the article. I attended a high level meeting two weeks ago with senior leadership of one key ministry that maintained DPP hench boys. They openly disgraced Tonse Agenda and are bound to frustrate this Govt. Unfortunately Chakwera and Chilima are busy feasting while the wolves are regrouping to start intimidating them. This is one of the DPP strategies of “Rebuilding the Party”. It is the same strategy they used to dismantle PP short lived Govt.
The more you try to format DPP the more hatred you will create and less development this country will experience due to wasting time formatting DPP.Am sorry to say concentrate on the promises you made during campaign.Man hunting has never been successful.
Reengineering!!!!!
Someone tell Chakwera to read this article. Though short, it is plain truth that the DPP system is still thriving even under the Tonse Alliance. Tonse Alliance will live to regret their indecisiveness and dilly dallying. The DPP guys are busy destroying evidence, frustrating projects while Chakwera and Tonse Alliance are docile coupled with lack of inaction to eliminate the DPP mafia / system. If Chakwera thinks he can make the DPP guys change their ways by issuing threats of sacking them, the threats only are not enough. The DPP mafia, if not eliminated entirely will remain like a sleeper… Read more »
