Chakwera names and shames Malawi govt officials on genset deal: Demands corruption inquiry
Malawi Congress Party (MCP) leader Lazarus Chakwera has accused the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP)-led government of influencing the Electricity Supply Corporation of Malawi (Escom) to award a contract of purchasing generators to a company with links to the party’s members, saying leaders are busy enriching themselves through corrupt means and are failing to fight corruption because “they themselves are thieves and corrupt”.
Chakwera told a news conference he held in Lilongwe on Thursday that MCP has stumbled on documents indicating that some State House officials influenced the Chief Secretary to the government Justice Lloyd Muhara to award 78 megawatts stand-by electricity generators contract to a company of their choice.
Escom, the distributor of electricity, messed up the procurement of generators that were expected to add 78 megawatts (MW) to the national grid to minimise the intensity of current blackouts following the scandal.
Chakwera said instead of sincerely working to resolve the situation, President Mutharika’s cronies have used the situation to enrich themselves.
“Whether this is with or without the blessing of the State President, we do not know yet. However, it is surprising that the State President has remained silent and has failed to act against on the allegation of serious misconduct of senior officials in his own government and ESCOM. He seems to be sleeping on the job and he cannot smell the rat in his own backyard and the President has opted for public relations stunts that bear no fruits to suffering Malawians,” said Chakwera.
Chakwera, who is also leader of opposition in parliament, said the country has been told and made to believe that government is procuring generators through ESCOM that will generate 78 megawatts of electricity by 31 December 2017.
“According to documents in our possession, this arrangement would cost, in total, USD73, 978,633 (roughly USD74million) which is an equivalent of MK54, 374,295,255 (at an exchange rate of USD1/MK735),” he said.
In the initial procurement process, nine companies, including JocobsenElekro AS, Aggreko, AKSA Enerji Rental Power, APR Energy, Almagamated Power Solution (APS), Altaaq Global CAT, So Energy International, Greenheart Energy Limited and Sino Hydro were shortlisted for supply of three generators that were to be stationed in three lots each at Mapanga in Blantyre, Kanengo in Lilongwe and Chinyama in Kasungu.
In December 2016 Escom evaluation committee recommended that lots one and two in Mapanga and Kanengo, respectively, be awarded to APR Energy with evaluated respective prices of $34.6 million and $24.9 million while lot three at Chinyama in Kasungu was recommended for award to Aggreko International Projects for $18.9 million.
But when the bids’ evaluation team presented its report to the internal procurement committee (IPC) for approval, the evaluation recommendations were not upheld.
Chakwera citing objective material evidence which he has said: “dAs it has become a tradition in the Mutharika government, some company (called APAC Energy) was included even though it was not part of the initial bidders list. Aggreko emerged as the successful bidder to provide generators in 3 selected sites in Blantyre(Mapanga), Lilongwe(Kanengo) and Kasungu(Chinyama) to the tune of USD73,978,633.”
According to information Chakwera gave reporters, on 12th April 2017 ESCOM sought a “No Objection” letter from Office of the Director of Public Procurement (ODPP) through letter referenced ESC 617/RT/S/FY 2016-17 and that on 25th April 2017 a “No Objection” was granted by the ODPP to ESCOM.
“ESCOM thus went into negotiations with Aggreko for the other terms and conditions of the contract. ESCOM and Aggreko subsequently signed a contract.
“It turned out that State House strangely preferred to have two companies, whose names we have, to be awarded the contract. In fact, two of Mutharika’s own charges at State House, allegedly advised the two companies to write ESCOM BOARD chairperson to complain that the tendering process was wrong,” disclosed Chakwera.
He said the truth of the matter is that the two of Mutharika’s own aides were hoping to “get a cut from the deal” and t the two companies did as instructed.
“ESCOM then wrote ODPP on 7 August 2017 seeking guidance as the contract had already been awarded to Aggreko and ODPP advised that at this point nothing could be done.
“Still not satisfied, State House officials ordered the Chief Secretary to ask ODPP to find fault with Aggreko award so that the contract is subsequently cancelled and then awarded to one of their preferred two companies.
“ODPP complied and subsequently launched an investigation into the tendering process. On 28th August 2017 ODPP wrote a report to the Chief Secretary faulting the process and effectively cancelling the ESCOM/Aggreko contract.”
Chakwera continued to say that Chief Secretary eventually ordered ESCOM to cancel the tender. Thus ESCOM wrote Aggreko on 7 September 2017 advising them that the tender had been cancelled.
“The Chief Secretary instructed Electricity Generation Company (Egenco) to take over the procurement process since ESCOM had failed. For the record, the Chief Secretary is the Board Chairman of EGENCO and State House charges saw that they would easily influence the Chief Secretary,” said Chakwera.
He said EGENCO thus recommenced the tendering process where ids were called for and evaluation done.
“Unfortunately, the State House preferred company did not bid. While waiting for the results of the evaluation process, on Tuesday 24th October 2017 at 5.30pm a meeting was convened by the Chief Secretary involving the ESCOM Board Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer in the presence of Dr. Collins Magalasi and two representatives of a company called Altaaqa (which is the one that did not bid) at Ryalls Hotel. Clear instructions were given to ESCOM to award the generator contract to Altaaqa even though they did not satisfy the procurement requirements as per document in our possession,” claimed Chakwera during the news conference.
Chakwera said Altaaqa was consistently number 4 under the ESCOM evaluation process and they never submitted any bid under EGENCO bidding process.
“To back up this meeting at Ryalls hotel, the ‘beneficiaries’ of transaction convinced President Mutharika to stage a joint meeting of ESCOM and EGENCO Boards of Directors which he subsequently attended on Wednesday 25th October 2017 in Blantyre.
“During this staged board meeting the ESCOM Board chairman was overheard telling the President that the Board and Management were ready to implement the directive he (the President) made through the Chief Secretary to single source from Altaaqa. Thus Altaaqa which never bid at EGENCO and was consistently number 4 was awarded contract in single sourcing,” said Chakwera.
The leader of opposition also said President Mutharika lied to Malawians on Sunday 29th October 2017 at the Mlakho wa Alhomwe annual festival, that one generator had been shipped into the country when none of that had happened.
“He even said that another one was being shipped into the country and would be in by 1 December 2017. This too was a lie too,” Chakwera said.
He said as Mutharika was delivering his speech at the Mlakho wa Alhomwe on 29th October, 2017, Altaaqa was actually cancelling the contract due to what they called “variations to our Terms and Conditions that are not acceptable” through a letter dated 29th October 2019.
Chakwera said there are many questions his party has raised why the Chief Secretary Muhara involved in ESCOM procurement.
“This is clear case of abuse of office, interference and misprocurement,” he said.
Chakwera said from the scanal it clearly shows that the Mutharika-led government is more concerned with enriching members of the DPP than the plight of Malawians.
“They have deliberately created a crisis with the sole purpose of embezzling taxpayers’ funds. This government does not care about the cost Malawians are paying for its costs. Ordinary Malawians are paying for their dear lives just for DPP officials to enrich themselves,” said Chakwera.
“ In truth, what we are calling government is simply a cartel whose raison d’etre is self-enrichment,” he said.
Chakwera said President Muthairka is either “inept at leadership and is completely clueless of what his cadres are doing in destroying the country or he is complicit in these nefarious schemes.”
He sternly reminded President Mutharika of the country’s sacrosanct constitutional principle which states that all legal and political authority of the State derives from the people of Malawi and should be exercised solely to serve and protect their interest.
“Indeed, the Constitution binds him to exercise his presidential powers only in accordance with his responsibilities to the people of Malawi. Needless to say, President Mutharika is exercising his power and authority merely to serve and protect the interest of the DPP and its cadres. He has clearly abandoned his responsibilities to Malawians,” said Chakwera.
He urged Malawians to be “vigilant and call their leader to account”.
Said Chakwera: “We cannot be indifferent to the continued plunder of our nation’s wealth by President Mutharika’s small corterie of sycophants and tribesmen. As the Leader of Opposition I shall not tire in my mission to call out those that want Malawians to continue wallowing in poverty as they continue to unjustly enrich themselves.”
The leader of opposition has demanded a public enquiry into this stand-by generator deal.
“It is my sincere hope that those that are found fallen foul of the laws of the country shall be prosecuted accordingly,” he said.
Malawi currently is experiencing extended hours of blackouts that have seen some areas going between 15 to18 hours without electricity.
Chakwera is however yet to highlight on the Party’s policies on energy.

I am Lomwe yes but it does not mean am benefiting from DPP so by hating and attacking our tribe will never be a solution inu Mr man of God,you don’t build a nation by dividing and attacking other tribes,let me remind you that it’s not all Chewas who support MCP and vise Verser
In addition to all this, if these 78 MW diesel generators would run 24/7 the cost of fuel alone would triple the total ESCOM and Egenco running cost. This does not include maintenance and depreciation! Who is going to pay for this? The biggest blunder made by Bingu wa Mutharika was the cancellation of the inter connection. He said that he did not want to pay for imported electricity but rather would pay 10 times more for imported fuel for the thousands of stand by generators.
In addition again. ESCOM cannot be fully blamed for the present situation. The problem right now is the lack of water for hydro power and ESCOM cannot do anything about that. The main problem has been political interference. Way back in 1997, when I was in the board, we had a severe low water situation. Every body started sleeping when the rain caught up and the water levels rose. But I warned many times in the board and later in Government that this situation would return. Nothing was done. The only solution to this was the interconnection with Mocambique and on to Zambia and the Kongo.
Wind power wont help. Solar PV farms may do something but what would happen if there are a few overcast days? Egenco would need stand by power and where would that came from? May be these 78 MW generators would be useful in addition to a huge solar farm, for stand by purpose.
I use solar power to run my business, but I still need a generator for bad days.
In addition to these generators we should cover on square km of Malawi with solar panels to generate 100 MW at a cost of 150 million USD. The best sunniest place is Salima. Diesel generators for stand by only.
Pathetic indeed is Malawi. The DPP takes advantage of lack of cohesion in Malawi, massive illiterate levels that make people not to defend their rights and above all a divided civil service that lacks formidable unions that can make the govt dance around. This saga revealed by Chakwera is one of the strategies of stealing tax payers money for the coming campaign; which is very sickening indeed.
Another scheme in the pipe line to syphone money for campagn is the rushly imprimented contributory pension scheme; which has been imprimented using a divide and rule method by segregating age groups and without any wider consultations with concerned stake holders, including unions and the employees themselves. In this system, the govt is deducting money (5%) from the salary package of the concerned civil servant which is entering in an account at Old Mutual for the rest of his career until retirement. One thing that baffles me is that the civil servant is not aware of any details of the account his money is being deposited in at Old Mutual and has not signed any policy documents with the company. The govt has done this delibarately to keep civil servants in the dark. This saga reminds me of the period of the late Mutharika, when his govt instructed public secondary schools in Malawi to deposit all school fees in govt account number 1, with the promise to be returned later to schools; which never happened. Schools were in a crisis with different suppliers calling teachers and indeed heads different sorts of names, to the extent of detaining some of them in their shops.
In the fees saga, billions of kwachas were stolen to sponser the DPP in the 2014 elections. In this pension scheme saga, the govt is going to withdraw all the pension contributions amassed sofar towards the campaign period, from accounts not known to the civil servants and use them for the campaign which is coming. Remember that we are dealing with professional thieves, satanists, heartless people who are intoxicated with enriching themselves at the expense of poor Malawians and can do anything to save their heads (2 Timothy 3:1-5). The age of 35 years and below has been targeted because that is where you have more people in the workforce, comprised of many graduates hence more money being deducted and has a good number of years before retirement hence cannot bother to ask about retirement benefits. This is the scenario that provoked mass protests in Greece and other countries in Europe from civil servants and retirees in austerity measures that made some govts to run, depending on exorbitant cuts from the employees perks, including retirement packages.
I applaud TUM for challenging this move by this silly and insensitive admininstration. I expect some strong statement from the mother body of Civil Servants (MCTU). If you are not going to question the govt on this pension thing and call for an industrial action after an improper explanation, then I will conclude that you are part and parcel of this malicious scheme.
ANA ASATANAWA ALIBE CHISONI KWA IWO BOLANI ZIKUWAYENDERA. LETS PROTEST OVER EVERY BAD THING THAT THE GOVT IS FAILING TO SOLVE.
Kaitano, cos or CSOs, whatever you meant, are not investigative bodies in Malawi. Ask bwana wakoyo, yemwe anaomba Assemblies of God ndikuthawira Ku Congress, apemphe ACB ifufuze. Are you serious Billy Mayaya is competent enough to do that?
Tsoka MCP chifukwa owononga ku Assemblies of God wathawira kumeneko.
Please Dr. Chakwera slow down don’t talk too much as if you an Angel we are all living in this Sinful & Cursed Land as a Pastor you should be aware that some of the problems we are facing it’s because as a Country we have gone against the will of God. Let me tell even if if you are elected to be the President of this Nation you will not be able to do any miracle to turn around this Nation. These problems have been there for years, corrupt people are there and will be there even in your term of government, Electricity problems will be there as long as there are no long term solution for this problem … the same yardstick you are using to measure your fellow Leader will be used for you as well.
Read my words the same people who are surporting you today will turn against you within the first year and they shall spit vernon words on your face and you shall regret more than Peter. There is no single problem that can be sorted out just as easy as you are thinking it’s tough…. really tough… please slow down and spend much time praying for this Nation other than castigating your fellow Leader. Peter did not bring about the power problem it was there because the other Presidents did not invest in such big projects hence the calamities, Peter does not tell people to do corruption but evil minds of pipo both from the ruling and opposition in the government departments are the ones who are sufforcating the economy. Peter did not bring poverty but you and me what are we doing for us to be out of this problem … if we all work hard at our household level things can change easily.
Lastly do not forget this very important thing it’s only GOD who annoints people to be Presidents whether good or bad he does it for his own will … by the way who knows maybe you will be given such authority be the President but but who knows you may be the worst Leader Malawi has ever had therefore I beg you you slow down don’t talk too much … in our venacular it’s said, chili kwa mzako umati chigwile nyanga kkk!!!!!!! this is what you are doing.
Malawians want to know where their money go when they buy electricity units? ESCOM has raised units price man Times and Malawians keep buying but get NO electricity. The money should be for improving services of electricity tubins. Why the government not borrow to improve electricity which is mist important for development? Why this has gone years after years. Muluzi time was electricity. JB brought electricity only during Munthsrikas Malawi has experienced long hrs of blackout. Why? Chakwela is speaking in behalf of Mslawians.
The thing with Escom is that competent and we’ll trained people have been dismissed from the company. Just as much as it can be argued that any one can be appointed to manage Escom. I beg to differ. People may not know that Escom has been training and developing its staff to solely manage the entity efficiently, effectively and professionally. At the dawn of multiparty democracy things started crumbling as incompetent people were replacing the competent people. This trend has gone on to date where by blackout is order of the day. Development and politics should not be mixed up. If Malawi is to develop people must be placed in the positions on merit and not what is happening now. Swallow the pride and recall the competent people to help in bring back power all day every day and not towards……. 53 years after independence we should be towards….. We are not serious. You can not manage an organisation without systems. How do you entrust people who failed somewhere to manage the hub Malawi economy. Do some soul searching and put the right peg into the right hole.
Tidzaonatu ngati alhomwe omwe akuwanyozawo ati azamuvotere. Ungoyerekeza kubwera kudela langa Chakwera kuti uzapange campaign munthawi ya campaign. Uzaona nseu pobwera kumsonkhano koma ulendo wako obwelera kwanu ada uzakhala wa pa ambulance njuchi zitakuluma. Mwina ukuliiwala dela lachilhomweli, kafunse Kamuzu ada.
Malawians should stop paying tax untill 2019… thats the best way to protest
I am a lhomwe and if Chakwera wins in 2019 I shall leave Malawi. I have not benefited from Mutharika’s perceived nepotism but I now know for sure that Chakwera has got pathological and dangerously uninhibited hate for all the lhomwes.
Alomwe tikudana nanudi chifukwa cha chitsiru chimene mudatibweletserachi. Anthu oyipa, you knew that these guys are thieves but still voted for them, now we are all suffering. We don’t care, leave Malawi with your fellow lomwes come 2019
leave we dont care
U are wrong abort Chakwela. If u leave Malawi where are going? Do u know Malawians are chased everywhere. All Malawians are suffering including Alhlomwes. Its Muntharkas Who brought Nepotism in Malawi. We Mslawians lived together despite our tribes. Muntharikas espevially Peter advised hos brother to use Alhlomwe
to get support. Other tribes dont hate Alhlomwes. They are victim of Muntharikas. Mycket brother Malawi is your country. Things will get better withiout Muntharka. We should unite for the sake of our nation.
I believe who ever says Malawians are chased every where is very ignorant. I have been living in the US for the past 25 years with no problem. Enjoying just like every American, in fact you want to know I receive compliments from everyone I meet that Malawians are nice likeable people, honest, humble, and hardworking. Most of all God fearing. Where does that come from that Malawians are being chased. If you have no contribution please zip your mouth. Leave a Lowe alone.
You were living happily when all government positions were controlled by John Tembo and the Kadzamiras, the Kandodos. Civil service was central region
Zivaya
Supplier yemwe ife tikufuna kuti azikapereka diesel ku ma genset onsewa ndi Rashy ndicholinga chakuti tizitha kukatenga ndalama za campaign, kuyendetsa boma kwativutadi kwativutadi nanga tipanga bwanji? Kkkkkk papsya tonola basi

Rhomwes you will die poor because you allow few individuals to steal from government and you hand clap beacause they come from your tribe. what you forget is that when economy goes bad in our country all of us suffer!!!!! wise up pliz!
Kongo wamako iwe ndi olemera nyini yamako galu iwe
Ife tavereza kuti zatilaka, tayesa kupatsa ntchito amzathu kuti akonze mangetsi ndi cholinga chakuti titoleko za campaign ku ESCOM ko
Bwana leader of opposition, you forgot to call for a public inquiry for a politician who is constructing a mansion in Lilongwe at maula costing over K800 million. Don’t be selective Mr Leader of Opposition.
Another politician in central region is also enriching himself by converting vehicles donated to the party for his family’s use. When are you, Mr Leader of Opposition, calling for a public inquiry for this dunderhead politician?
You have forgotten big brother, he asked the cos to come and check his building and demand to do the inquiry as you are saying, until to day no one went and what he asked, therefore pamenepo muchite manyazi ndi umbava wanu mulinawowu mwanva o Hatton?
Our beautiful country was cursed the day we voted for criminals. Shame on us, for we could not discern what our ‘honourable men/women’ were planning against us.
Mistake was made 2014. Donors and organisation knew that Malawians made a big Mistake. But Malawians thought he is prof. Do u think White care If one is a prof.? Europe have man professors. They are ordinary people. But in Malawi they are God If one is Dr ord prof. Even If they useless. Look AT DDP has many dr what are they doing there? Old michonas stealing money from people. Living lunxiouly lives in the costing of people Malawians. Malawians are very poor to day than during Kamuzu Banda.
While I agree that corruption is bad. I do not agree with the trablism attack by Chakwera to the lhomwe people. Am a lhomwe and I have never benefitted from the alleged rooting…why should Chakwera attack us all lhomwes bcoz of his quest for power and political battle with Peter? Should we be concerned that if he gets to state house lhomwes will be annilhated? Too much trablism from his speeches is dangerous…just present your issue leave the poor lhomwes alone deal with your political foes not lhomwes please?
I dont see where Chakwela has sttacked all Alhlomwes. I understand your feelings that it affects the whole tribe. This can bring war and division of us. We are all affected and suffering in Malawi. Its true Muntharikas givetnment is full Alhlomwes. That it irritates others especially when there is corruption. If they were no corruption Malawians were not going to complain. In Africa Its usually government is family issues. State house is only Alhlomwes. If he is a president of all Malawians why Alhlomwes only?Some of these people has NO good education. Dont take person. We are all Malawians. If there will be war in Malawi blame Muntharika. Dont forget Rwanda it was a leader Who caused the tribal war. Muntharika will never suffer Its Malawians. VOTE RIGHT 2019 dont vote tribe for the peace of our nation. ONE MALAWI ONE NATION
Koma ndiye tikuba sitimangidwa ife 2019 akubwerayi,APA taonjeza bad…..
Malawi gvnt is a shame
A cry of an empty tin
Chakwera is just desperate for attention. He is the leader of opposition. If he notes something wrong let him book an appointment and meet the president. He can even go to police or ACB. Why ask for a public enquiry when he claims to know what happened? Why should we waste resources to enquire when he tells us he knows exactly what transpired?
Dzanja limodzi limakhala lopusa, when did the president allowed to meet the leader of opposition? if you are in Malawi?
you’re stupid.. can you not see these blackout?? or you are part of the genset deal, thieves will always defend thieves
Just comenting 4 the sake of doing so, Chakwera already has the attention he needs, the eyes of DPP are on him wth fear
4652 leadership is variant, get to know that one mode of leadership may not be successful in the other. He knows where he is driving at. it is time we commend politicians like chakwera for winning courage and rebuke in his mission as a opposition leader
Mr. 4652, I totally agree with you that Dr. Laz could have booked for an audience with APM. Unfortunately our so called president has always shunned Dr. Laz. I remember sometime back the same opposition Leaders wanted to engage the President on various challenges facing the country, but he shunned them. Instead the President and his colonies accuse the Leader of opposition of not suggesting solutions to the challenges. But we Malawians who follows what Dr. Laz say, we also see lusting solutions in his speeches. As Malawians who are the victim’s of massive corruption by the DPP led government, I think we must applaud Chakwera for naming and shaming corrupt people including the President himself. That’s what we call patriotism.
Kudos Dr. Laz, you are indeed fighting corruption and am sure your government will ensure zero tolerance to corruption come 2019
Countrymen, I shudder at the level of detail in the Leader of Opposition’s speech. He is convincing me that his findings are true. Five things come to my mind: a) Corruption in Malawi has reached addiction levels such that getting out of it will be extremely difficult for those walking in the corridors of power. Ambiri akuyendera payelepayele fish adadya mkaza’ke” or “kwapysa tonola sudziwa mtima wa moto” b) There is a total collapse of the anti-corruption system in the country. This could actually explain why Mr. Lucas Kondowe, former ACB Chief, decided to throw in the towel the other day. He may have realized that the situation is getting out of hand and no one is safe anymore. Remember, in Chichewa they say “Chalaka nyani n’chakhambikhambi” and Chinua Achebe wrote in his Things Fall Apart: “when you see a frog jumping in broad day light, know that something is after its life” c) the president may have surrounded himself with wrong people – people whose mission is to bring him and all of us down. There mission could be plundering the few resources Malawi is remaining with after the long episode of cashgates since we adopted multi-party politics in 1993 d) power blackouts are here to stay despite the sweet talk that we are getting from our leaders. The question is: if things continue to run at the pace there are running right now, what will happen to our jobs, businesses, families, etc? e) It appears that the foundation of our nationhood is very fast being eroded. King David asks in Psalm 16 (or it’s 11?): When the foundation [of the house] is broken, what should the righteous do? I find this question most important because it suggests that “mubvi oyang’anila umalowa m’maso.”
So, yes, we need an inquiry in the issues that have been raised. I totally agree with the Leader of Opposition on this suggestion. But, I feel that we can do more within the laws of Malawi.
Kent Y.G. Mphepo
Let me remind the so called 4652 that you don’t negotiate with a terrorist. What Peter and his team are doing to Malawians is terrorism of a different form and therefore there is no need for Chakwera to sit down with a terrorist so to say. You should know that both Chakwera and Mutharika are politicians and Chakwera is ferociously eying the Presidency (as an opposition is a government in waiting) and there is no way he can save his opponent by having closed door discussions. The honourable thing to do is exactly what Chakwera has done to shame the thieves. Keep the fire burning, change is on the way.
Mr or Mrs 4652, you are not worthy to be a Malawian. If the door of the president is closed the best is to talk. We are living in a democratic error and you should not think by hiding information will help this Muntharika. He has failed us and it is right and proper that such issues are discussed openly not as you think. Shame on you Bwana. We know you are part of the mess and one day God will punish you because of those dirty games. This is our tax. Chakwera is right and let him continue informing the nation about the ill that you and your Muntharika are doing. Shut up your mouth if you do not have anything to say. Get lost. Za chamba eti.
Chakwera, please stop this foolishness of “I have the names” without naming them. Another idiot before you, late Chakufwa Chihana, said the same until he went to meet his maker without mentioning the names. I get angry at idiots like you who whip up stories and tell us in such an incomplete manner. Shut up or put up you ex-clergy who fell from grace.
you get more angry at someone speaking the truth than the rotting relish in your fridge? get your head straight. we are in a national crisis, ether speak solutions or let real men handle the discussions, clearly your are angry at the wrong person
Umbava

My beloved Honorable from Bangwe school and educate me on these matters please…
Iwe 4652 you don’t think you are very useless .for your own information this thief is your own president ife zoti ndimunthu ameneyo tinatayila agalu

Mr/Miss/Mrs 4652
What really do you want the Leader of Opposition to discuss with the President.
This issue is for public consumption and need not be discussed in secret. It’s people like you who want to make the President believe that he’s above everybody and everything else. If Peter does not know what is happening in his own government then he’s not fit to be President, let him step down
We see use of cheap strategies to drum up manyaka type of politics. Adressing people as …. my fellow malawians……. no electricity in hospitals…. when we know that escom load shedding plan excludes hospitals……. by the way who in the government machinely is busy providing documents to these bunch of manyaka politicians?….koma ndale izi sindinaziwone chiyambile….. koma peter ndiye akunyenyanidi come 2019….. muzaziwanso.
iwenso ukuti chani kodi? tazingodya mbatata kumeneko
Iwe 4652 how can Chakwrra book an appointment with athief?
worse than maizegate
Amalawi when the time for all of us to woke up comes, that country would have been destroyed. We are all fast asleep.
Chikangawa forest, Mulanje forest and whatever forest – all gone. Uranium mine and Kaziwiziwi all its proceeds shared within Dpp. Environment damaged!
Next move: extract oil up north, destroy their environment. All its money shared amongst Dpp.
We are sleeping Malawians. Next time we work up all of Malawi’s resources would have been vandalised. Next generations left with no resources to support them but a huge debt to pay.

God wont help us if we are sleeping, wake up !! .. you think waiting for god will solve blackouts and resource plundering.. you need to think again
Muhara doesn’t learn. After the MRA saga surely he can’t be involved yet gain. That is the problem of treating offenders with kid gloves. Eish
Dpp thieves at it
Lets protest Bwana
These pipo must go
Alomwe chimene chiziwa iwo ndi kuba basi, they don’t care, taonani kuzipatala anthu akufa chifukwa cha ma blackout, ometa, ma saloon, mabutchala etc ma business ayima anthu tikudya capital tsopano because of these crooked and selfish individuals ….. Lord have mercy………Malawi is in the hands of thieves…….misonkho yathu angogawana!!!
Every right minded citizen knows pretty well that DPP led govern is on mission to enrich it’s die-hard supporters more especially those with big positions in government.
Right Hon. Rev. Dr. Chakwera. If you think that something fishy is happening, can’t you book an audience with the President and talk over those issues with him. I think that’s a mature way of handling some of these issues. The president cannot follow each and everything and moreover people surrounding him, whom were supposed to give him information may chose to hide it from him. Talk with your President Mr. Leader of opposition.
