Chaponda says Joyce Banda embarrassed Mutharika at UN: ‘Should consult Malawi govt on her travels’

October 1, 2014 Wanga Gwede- Nyasa Times 176 Comments

Malawi government has asked former president Joyce Banda to consult the authorities on her external travels to avoid embarrassing the country, saying that her presence at the just ended United Nations General Assembly side meetings in US was an embarrassment to incumbent President Peter Mutharika and his Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) led administration.

Banda attended the side meetings of the 69th Session of the UN General Assembly, bumping into unsuspecting government officials.

Chaponda: JB embarrassed us, but we are not jittery with her
Chaponda: JB embarrassed us, but we are not jittery with her

Chaponda and human rights activist Billy Mayaya noted that Banda’s presence embarrassed the country at the UN side meetings.

“We don’t want to be misunderstood that we are jittery about former President Banda’s travels; our fears are simply that if she continues to avoid engaging with her successor, the country will continue to face the embarrassment of holding different views and positions on issues of national concern,” said Chaponda as quoted by The Nation.

According to the Foreign Affairs Minister, if the former president had consulted Mutharika, there would not have been need for government to send its representatives to the UN side meetings she was attending.

“She would have been the President’s and government’s envoy. This is what happens in all the civilised countries,” he added.

Former president’s spokesman Andekuche Chanthunya trashed Chaponda, saying there is no evidence to claim that Banda’s presence at the UN side meetings were an embarrassment to the Malawi government.

Chanthunya said former president Banda was not invited to the UN side meetings as a representative of government, but as a citizen of a member State and as founder of the Joyce Banda Foundation International.

“He should give us specific places where government was ashamed because of the former president and the reasons for the embarrassment,” argued Chanthunya.

“She didn’t have to scramble for international attention. The fact that she was actually invited to these meetings for the various roles she played showed that she is a global figure, she has actually been that for a very long time. The sooner government starts understanding that the better because they can then start concentrating on running government affairs than picking fights with a global icon,” added Chanthunya.

Apart from  Banda, at the UN side meetings there were former prime ministers of Britain Gordon Brown and Tony Blair while the current Prime Minister David Cameron was also attending the UN General Assembly but there has been no political fuss in London.

This was the second time for Banda to attend international meetings with her predecessor after the US-Africa Summit in August this year.

  1. DON’T WORRY PETER SHE JUST DON’T GET IT THAT YOU BOOTED HER OUT OF THE OFFICE SHE IS STILL DREAMING …… HEY!! WAKE UP ….STOP DREAMING

  5. George Bush, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Obasanjo, ( former presidents and vice president) attended the side meetings, nobody cried foul except the stupid DPP government. What is wrong with this picture?????? Tell us what you achieved and not this non-sense.

  7. hehehedeeeee! na inu a DPP boma ili muli surrender ndithu we are not even six moths into your and mwayamba kale loosing focus. By 100 days of JB she had atleaast something to show, fuel was normalised, availability of forex, return of donors etc but you thugs are already disoriented by now. kubera mavoti just to plumber gvt resources basi

  8. Peter mutharika and chaponda are the ones who were an embarassment at the UN meeting because of their ugly faces. kikiki. anthu mamapanga nanu mseru

  10. Dpp and the suppoters are stupid and JB IS A GLOBAL figure even when you want to ask the civilised figures to the globe zinthu ngati izi simungaziwone ayi bwanji nsanje a DPP LEAVE HER ALONE agwire ntchito za chifundo kwa a Malawi ndi Africa yense. Ngati walakwa pitani ku Court akakuthandizeni

  11. Zowona munthu wankulu ngati chaponda kumakamba zinthu zopusa zopanda pake ngati zimenezi ngati chidenterite chitserekwete.Boot leakers ndi choncho.Kodi chaponda nawenso wayamba dementia ngati ambuyako abwana ako<<<<<<

  12. The most unpopular president Malawi ever had is Peter. Despite that he has lived worked in US he is not popular there. You see Malawians if you want to sell Malawi choose a better person with a good image. This man is useless even where he was teaching. Ask those who worked with him. Muntharikas tried to eliminate JB they failed. They tries with a lorry, and a coupe. Bingu stressed to force people to choose his brother. His brother Peter tried to force the army Command to use false so that he could take over the country after his brother failed. He looked into other way the only way was to use his and brother,s stolen billion to buy weak Malawians like Mbendera and Zodiak, even Airtel bosse. Muntharika is not popular even with Obama. Why did you not see him shaking hands with Obama. JB is very popular among westerners. WHY because she became JB before she was president. She formed a Foundation before she was a president. Others do it when they are wives of the president. Now Muntharika Peter thinks he is craver that he wants his contract wife to have trust, what has never been before a way of stealing money. You Malawians should not be cheated that Peter will ring investors. No investors can come to country so poor with corruption like Malawi. Every western country knows what happen to Bingu and Peter was a party of it. Don’t estimate westerners. They did not build their nations with corruption like in Malawi. After all it is their tax money they give you. For diasporas no diaspora will put is/her money in the country which is un certain like Malawi. Peter want forex to transfer to his account when the donors money is not coming in. As an Diaspora my money is safe in my account here. I can go to a machine in Malawi and withdraw so I don’t need to stand in quo in Malawi bank where they look at us as if we are stealing the money and yet it is our money they are sit on it. Malawians and low intelligence trust old thieves . How can a nation progress when it is ruled by old brains. It is so surprise that you can allow this happen now in the 2014, when there are so many younger intelligent people with new technology. Gondwe used to count with Mactosh. To day is new system of accountancy. This is your finance minister. Old people select their fellow old people. Malawi has been ruled with old men that is why the nation is so low behind development or less developed in Africa and the whole world.

  13. Akuti JB anaaphwetsa a mathanyula by her attendance. Iwo anangopereka ka speech kogona which no one paid attention to except his cronies who could be heard clapping and ululating while JB was the toast of the party where she went.

  14. How could a person just wake up one morning and jump on a plane to attend a high calibre UN meeting?… DPP are just jealousy of JB. She was invited to be there on that time, get this in your heads. Goldon Brown was there too but we haven’t heard the current British Prime minister David Cameron complaining. Be civilized Malawians!!!!!!

  15. I said over and over again this woman JB do not have a clue of running a country and her protocol been shit ever since she was in power and continues displaying such stupid behaviors, so shame a woman like hernot to have proper adviser and my childhood friend chanthunya u r still young plz help ur aunt to jack up otherwise she is just foolish her self and that is a sign of immature.

    1. It seems you are just as Dumb as your uncle Chaponda. Do you even know what you are talking about here? Now to me it shows the real leader is JB. DPP is intimidated by her presence at an event that has nothing to do with politics.

  17. Yakashata ulibe nzeru ngati chaponda yemweyu, Samatsatila Pitala wakoyo ayi suukumva kuti kunalinso atsogoleli ena opuma. Muphulika mukamalimbana ndi JB.

  19. leave Jb alone,u pple hate her for other political reasons not what u are tellng us here.U are afraid to be exposed to yr inner secrets.Dpp hates Jb morethan any politian in Malawi.leave her alone n do yr Jobs please.

  20. NONSE MUMASAPOTA JB MULIBE NZERU. OSAPANGA ORGANIZE TRIP YAKE BWANJI KUPANGA TRIP CHIFUKWA APM WAPITA KONKO. ADVICE KWA APM , ASAMALIMBANE NDI MUNTHU OPANDA NZERU, WATISIYA MMAVUTO, PHINDU LOMWE AMALAWI ANGAPEZE MA MISONKHANO YA JB NDI CHANI ? WALEPHERA KULAMULA DZIKO, KU MIASONKHANO AMAKATANIKO ? SHE WILL NEVER RULE THIS COUNTRY AGAIN. BINGU MADE A SERIOUS MISTAKE BY CHOOSING HER HIS VICE PRESIDENT.

  22. A Malawi mumadziwa ubwino wa munthu zikakuvutani kapena pakapita nthawi. Ndani ankadziwa kuti Muluzi ndi anthu a mu DPP angamagwirizane lero. You will also need Joice Banda. Dikirani pangóno osatha mau. Shut up your mouth.

    1. They say things happen but with this JB shit, I dont think so. Maybe if she just campaigned for our votes not by campaigning so that donors should not support DPP government. We are the ones suffering not her. The baddest thing that ever happen to Malawi politics is JB, worse than Tembo, killing people indirectly, selfish cashgate big fish, denialist that she lost in the election fair and square, cry baby to donors at the UN, creator and funder of federation calls, fired over 50 people in her first month in power etc…

  26. The difficult in Malawi is to differentiate between party politics and national or government functions. Dr. Chaponda need to be one of the first citizens to advise the president on how to better involve the former heads of state. They could be useful instruments to woe investors and donors. You chose those position to be servants of the people and not their masters. I expected you the Chapondas to invite her and delegate her strategic issues to present on behalf of the government on those UN side meetings. You need to know the world better that a female African leader is likely to have more influence on the western communities than you abambo. If you are not careful, any foreign trips you make, you will only bring bags of lies on foreign investment and donor support. Ndale za umbuli izi will not take us anywhere!!!

  27. JB so what?! you want malawi to know that you are afraid of her? why publish it? this is indoor discussion. You have many advisers but they are not helping you APM. Shame! Advisers are wasting tax payers money.

  29. Mr chaponda mulibe nzeru live JB alone she is a public figure ndi amayenera kupita ndipo munya JB ndi more

  30. JB was invited by the organisers of UNGM to address the first ladies. Joice Banda sanapite mwakufuna kwake, anaitanidwa kuti akalankhule kwa akazi a ma president onse pamodzi ndi wina uyu anathawayu. Akadzawaitananso nthawi ina adzapita. Abwerako ndi about K647 million for Joice Banda Foundation pomwe APM wangobwerako chimanjamanja! ATI MA INVESTORS ALI MMUTU MWAWO NDI MU FILE AKUBWERA! SHAME!

  31. A chaponda kupanda nzeru,aleken amai achite zomwe akufuna,ndi mmai oziwika kwambiri ali ndi ufulu okhala nawo mma meeting osiyanasiyana,ngat zikukubowan musamapitekoyi amai omwewo azikwanira,kaya ini am’bomanu muzingo2miza nthumwi or kusapitako nkomwe izo ndi zanu

  32. JB is another savage like Muluzi. onsewa ndi achawa sadziwa civilization. they think are still in government. Achawawa sukulu paja ndikumanzere

    1. She never said that she is still the president, she went out quietly, she was invited in her personal capacity as JB, not president of the republic of Malawi. Achawa ndi anthu ochenjera, kuphunzira olo osaphunzira. Ndi anthu a mtauni amadziwa zochita, amaona zinthu patali. Bingu ndi mboni, Peter lero akudyera masuku achawa. Munena mutopa. Alowa Atupele, 2019, plan yayamba kale.

    2. She clearly did not attend as a rep of the government and so was unlikely to share the same views as government on some issues. The concern may be arising out of some attention that she may have received during her contributions. But such is life.

    3. Your are among the great huge of people of you always speak about Yao being savages, the only Tribe in Malawi with less educated people. For this we Yaos we accept that with great acceptance we are not shamed of this, cause for past many years people still talking like this without come to your senses that through we are savages but still we played a big role to this country.

  33. BOLA ASAKHALE AFUNA KUPHUMITSA GETU!ANAVALANSO CHIDUKU?NANGA GWENGWE ANANYAMULA HANDBAG??

  34. Chaponda should know that JB is not in the govt and that she can not report to anyone for her travelling pls. If Peter is disturbed then he is not a serious man he must learn to manage himself. Only those who need transport from peter will ask peter for permission do you underst and chaponda? am talking people like you chaponda must ask ok from peter JB who can afford herself.

  35. I DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED HERE. IF JB WENT TO NY SO WHAT. SHE CAN GO ANYWHERE
    APM IS STILL OUR PRESIDENT. BUT HE SHOULD ACCEPT JB IS WELL KNOWN WORLDWIDE

  37. Am abit worried with this thinking of our honourable. When JB is in Malawi we should enjoy uncivilized life-kumukhomelera JB but when international people recognise her, our uncivilized thinking embarrasses Malawi to the extent of thinking to apoint her(JB) .., what? SHAME! Am embarassed as well.

  38. Ife tinali konko she was indeed an embarsement to the President. Anthu amangotifunsa, amvekere mwati pulezidenti any ndi ati pa awiri wa? Ife timvekere awo abambowo, onse anthu kakakaka! Kuseka amvekere koma aMalawi muli ndi nzeru? Nde bolanso amai munasiya wo akulankhulako za nzeru.

    Ena nde chifukwa azungu alibe chidwi ndi nkhani za kwathu kuno moti sadziwa kuti tinasintha president nde ananena JB ali your exellency madam, can we talk to your minister (kumaloza APM) ?

  42. Nkhumbaso yina iyi ngati Kaliati, Please send these two to west Africa especially Liberia and get affected with Ebola. We are tired of Dpp hand clappers.

  43. So there was no communication from JB to Gov on her travel to the UN. I think this could be the point, chaponda is right here if that was the case. JB thinks that she was robbed of the presidency so that she is bitter with dpp to the point that akuyendera yache forgeting that she is a former president and the country’s figure. Jb, it was gods plan for u to be a utility president for those two years, 2014 and beyond belong to other people God has choosen. God does not make mistakes learn to hear his voice and follow it.

  46. I agree with Chaponda regarding attendance of Meetings at the UN Session. The two should have been communicated regarding sessions they were attending. Actually they would have made Malawi proud if APM and JB were seen together. That would have sent message to the rest of the world that our democracy is matured and more advanced as compared to the rest of Africa where former a President and successor can never be seen together.

    JB doesn’t need permission to travel to require her to do so would be against our Constitution

  47. With the kind of attention JB is getting accorded internationally, it’s no surprise that the DPP government is concerned, you never know what she is up to, for all you know she could be engaging with foreign relations to undermine the current administration, looking at it politically the government has the right to know what JB is doing because she is an opposition party leader unlike muluzi or tony Blair who are fully retired from politics. JB is still active politically and that’s why her meetings with Malawi’s foreign relations are worrying to the DPP led government. If she was indeed up to the betterment of Malawi the. She could have shared her plans with the government and then a mutual agreement would have been made but what she is doing is queationable and it’s a threat to the legitimacy of the APM administration, because it’s like we have two leaders is Malawi APM goes here JB follows.

  48. Kodi simuziwa kuti Joyce Banda ndi member wa UN? Mupaka anthu akuja kuziwa kuti a malawi ndi asanje?

  49. ‘Global Icon’ ??? Sakhwi wopanda kanthu m’mutu ngati ameneyi womangobwebwetuka zirizonse. Joyisi ife amalawi umatinyasa bwanji*¿¡§ ukanakhala wakumva ukanangokhala pansi paja ndiwe matako akana pansi. Umanditopesa bwanji

    1. musamati ife a Malawi koma iweyo amakunyansa. kaya anakudyera chiyani? If we want to comment let us do it objectively otherwise it is good to zip our mouths.

  50. I dont see the embarrassment myself. Perhaps that she is more eloquent than the so called proffessor

  51. JB anayendatu pa bwato ngati illegal migrant ndi abale a ku morocco sanaononge ndalama za boma. Watani kodi iwe Chapondaaa? Ufiti eti?

  56. When you Govt says they have extended an olive branch, let them just mean that. But because they mean something else this is how it comes back to them. This means the office of formers presidents don’t share their plans with the sitting govt and vice versa. Had it been that the current govt is really fulfilling their duties to the office of former presidents they wouldn’t have been surprised as is the case. I blame them for hypocrisy. Live your word this is how you are going to be paid. Probably you didn’t expect Joyce to be invited to such meetings and you choose to invited people that were there just to milk and spend our taxes instead of taking on board former president. Its because of your jealous and Joyce has pulled a surprise on you. Shame you all, and learn to really forgive for the good of this nation. Ndiye bolaniso zomwe anakapanga Joyce than enanu. By the way am not a fun of JB, but this episode gives me a reason to comment.

  57. Why is chaponda complaining about JB and not complaining about Peter’s speech where he waisted the the most precious time to address the world in the only session in the whole year by concentrating on the worst election ever in Malawi,he was busy trying to convince the international community that elections were free,fair and credible.Peter actually embarrassed himself and our country as a whole by waiting our precious time we were accorded to express ourselves to the world.

  58. It is a shame that most of us are failing to understand Chaponda. JB and APM are from one family. Their understanding each other makes Malawi stronger. They should unite and sing one song for the better of us malawians. When it comes to foreign business JB and APM should burry their differences and present material that they have agreed upon and that both are familiar with. Why did JB not disclose to APM about her invitation to the pararell talks. The organisers could not copy the invitation to APM but i believe they did expect JB to make it known to APM as etiquette demands. Surely JB is a shame to most of us who have sense of wisdom.

    1. Why did APM not invite JB to these meetings, he is the one who has the resources? Why wait for JB to be seen at the meetings and start complaining? It would have been in the interest of Malawi if the President had said “Madam past President I am going to the UN I invite you to come with me so that you can attend some of the meetings in which you have expertise and will be in the interest of Malawi”, hypocrisy or feeling jittery?

      Is there any difference between what Chaponda is saying and what Kaliati said, quality of Malawi leaders, and the country can develop if leaders waste time looking into each other’s plate?

  59. JB should learn from Bakili Muluzi. He is the fisrt multi party president but doesn’t brind shame to us.

  61. bwinotu bwino. Simumachedwanso kukomoka paja. Kafa dala blood. Jb ndi sidya lina osawola opanda pemphero. Satani.

  62. Sorry to say this Sir, but you are the ugliest cabinet minister in the country’s history!!

  63. Koma the word “global Icon” as claimed to have been used by the spokesperson may have been abused here …shaaaaa….pamwamba kukoma eti!!! …. accept your humble stations in life good people…..

  64. It’s a shame that Nyasatimes decides to compare the Malawi scenario to Britain. Do you have information that the two former leaders did not inform their current prime minister on their plans to attend the UN sessions? The problem with JB is she did not have the courtsey to inform her president of her intentions to trail the President

  66. Koma nde eeh! mudangoona gululuuu! paja mhlakho umanena kuti chozemba chinakumana ndi chokwawa, ndizimenezo? mumatenga azikazi anu kusiya a ex-president, JB fayaaaaaaa!

  67. Gordon brown, tonny brair and david Cameron the current uk prime minister were there as well but there is no that fuss in uk why Malawi?

  69. Arrest her very stupid lady!

    Those who respect her don’t know

    The chief cash gater !

    If she was stealing u think she is going around to serve the poor NO

    Check how she stopped madonna project !

    1. So you think this lady is stupid! You think APM and team have not explored all avenues to have her arrested and have so far failed. Try arrest her without plausible reason(s) muzabesa ndalama zaulere through compensation. This is the difference between the so called Prof and Mandasi lady. Mayi ageniwa nzeru zilipo ndithu despite not going far with education and she profitably uses her brains. Koma Prof, Uh u u, athokoze sukulu. otherwise…………………

    1. A Boma muli ndi anthu amene m’mati ndi ma adivayizara, kodi pankhani akutinji? Anayamba ndi a Kaliati ali pa press news, tsono ndi izi, kodi JB ana chita kukachita gate crush or was officially invited? I feel there is no call for embarassment here else we embarass ourselves. If Kaliati and Chaponda had kept quiet there was going to be talk of the concern here.

  71. THE PROBLEM WITH THESE LOMWES IS SELFISHNESS(DYELA) AND JEALOUSY.OF COURSE GOVT WAS EMBARRASSED TO NOTE THAT THE FORMER HEAD OF STATE,MADAM JOYCE BANDA WAS ACCORDED SUCH HIGH LEVEL ATTENTION CONFIRMING THAT DESPITE HER ELECTION LOSS, SHE IS STILL CONSIDERED AS A POWERFUL WOMAN WITH ALOT OF SUBSTANCE.AMENE AKWIYA NDI MFITI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  74. Mpakana Mkazi wa Kagame kunena kuti “uyu si Pulezidenti wa Malawi. Ndi Pulezidenti wakale wake Malawi”

  76. Komatu ndiye kuti JB anakabvuta kumeneko mpaka Chaponda joining the debate? Tifunilanji umboni wina kuti JB outshone the Predident if the whole Foreign Minister starts reasoning like Ksliati

  77. A Chaponda Shame on you kodi mukatenga Boma basi anzanu si anthu? asyende? asaitanidwe? Kudzikonda bwanji?

  80. komweko motoooo buuuuu…..there is no sustance in mr chaponda, my aunt kaliati about jb……..who invited her..jb? Those r the ones to be funsadi? Heee panyasaland whats is wrong is right……osangopita kutiphimba mmaso andipasa kachiwala kapindulila ndani…..jb is assisting thosands of shildren to go to xool and you who r u assisting? Kusesa mumsewu jobo la city imeneyo apaseni mpata kkkkkkkkkkmlopwana khanyi wawo

  81. Ooohoo what an embrassment gvmt delegation sqandering our taxes for nothing other than 2seater lichero,what a shame Did the GVMT fund her trip NO so why this noise?Chaponda

    1. This woman’s upkeep is paid by malawi govt, our taxes. this will be maintained till death as she is a former leader of this nation. The least she can do is pretend to be part of this country and be useful to its tax payers where she can. Afterall she likes moving about. We might as well take advantage of that

  82. BWANA CHAPONDA YOU MUST DULL, GREEDY, SELFISH. WHO SHOULD CONSULT WHO & WHY? LET JB CONTINUE PUTTING MOTHER MALAWI ON THE MAP FOR THE GOOD OF ALL OF US. WHY GET SICK ABOUT IT? SERVANTHOOD IS WHAT IS NEEDED.

  83. Chaponda has neither at any point talked sense nor impressed me, always talking dog poopoop. Kaliati the daughter of Mulanje and Chaponda the son of Mulanje. What is wrong with these two Bantus from Mulanje? Kaliati could be forgiven because she has less education, but it saddens me when a learned lawyer in the likes of Chaponda reason like a Standard 8 dropout.

  84. CHAPONDA NOW YOU ARE BLAMING JB INSTEAD OF CONGRATULATING HER FOR WHAT SHE DID AT LEAST IF JB DID NOT TAKE HER PLACE THEN IT WAS REASONABLE BUT THIS DOES NOT MAKE SENSE!!!! HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD NOT TO BEAT ABOUT THE BUSH!!! BLAME THE FIRST LADY FOR SHE HAVE EMBARRASSED OUR NATION BY NOT SHOWING UP Mathakapena!!!!!!

  85. DPP government are fools and they will die fools. No wonder that they are busy barking like mad dogs

  87. Jb and her team now, look at the way her spokeswoman is speaking like a villager,why are you pambas, pro to the elections she told malawias that God has told her that she will win, speaking as if God was twin brother to late mr ntila

  90. We should all be proud of one of our own (Malawian) JB’s charitable achievements being recognised internatonally. I can see her complementing our President and Chaponda’s efforts in trying to get the international development partners to be fully engaged in our efforts to develop our country. If Dr George “don’t fart/Osapwisa” Chaponda wants to continue being small let him leave his posts to some adults.

  92. Achaponda musamudandaule jb musiyeni angwa nayo game bola inu mulipachiongolelo ganizilani zomwe kungachitire amalawi. uyo akatopa azasiya yekha mukumudziwa khalidwe lake. koditu mukanamulola kuti DPP akusogolereni bwenzi muli kunja kwa boma pano. Bungu ndi inu nonse a DPP munaona kuti sangawine chisankho ngakhale amakakamira suyo angwa yekha. Bravo dpp uyo musiyeni akatoka asiya yekha uko ndikulira. sakukondwa

    1. Amene amatopa ndi amene angozikakamiza pa nchitoyo. JB is her passion to serve and passion never tires. For the two years she served us, there was no time she relanted. As long as the Lord keeps her healthy sadzatopa. Keep it up JB.

  93. Chaponda is right because the issue is whether in these meetings Joyce Banda was representing issues in the context of her organisation or in the context of Malawi. If this was not clarified there could be great potential for embarrassment. Those ex leaders from other countries most likely were clreared and were also given relevant files on issues to be covered by their countries. Its a pity that some strong comments here and also in the article are based on ignorance of diplomatic protocal. I am sure President Banda was not properly advised.

  94. So far i have not heard JB talking about the presidency or the past elections. She is doing what she knows, humanitarian work. She is not in DPPs way, apm just work ngati president, a chaponda ndi a kaliyati akulakwitsa. Kodi asayende, aki president mmalimbana naye, panonso, nsiyeni ayende mmene akufunira. Banja lake lili ndi ankhoswe, nkhuku yawo munadya si inu. Mmalo mopanga zanu mukulimbana ndi ena. Hedeee.

    1. It measn you are outside the point man. To be honest, ex president must inform government when he or she is travelling especially to big meetings like this one to avoid coincidence. Adzioneka kuti president ndi uyu ndipo was informed to avoid ma contingencies ena ndi ena.

  95. Chaponda destroyed Bingu now its Peter. Shame! JB DID NOT RIG Elections. The dent is Cashgate which DPP Is the carpenter 92 billion stolen 18 billion per year too much only in Lomwe pockets. Too bad.

    1. She failed the elections. Do not even talk of JB in regard to elections. She was far from winning. She failed even in Zomba. Talk of something else not elections she goofed terribly.

      1. J b sanalephele mmayesa munagwilitsa ntchito machine obela ma election, God will see thru J B, Mulungu ndi amene analenga Peter chingamulake ndi chani kumulanga. Ngati peter anabela muona zomwe mulungu amuchite

  96. I think Chaponda is talking sense, JB should know that she was once president and ignore a little bit about Joyce Banda Foundation.Let us remember that the only elected former president is Dyomba BM

    1. If something is wrong its wrong with our constitution. Cause it stated that when the President dies the vice president automatic become head of state, JB was a president according to this book sure. So if you have a problem with JB go and read this book and see what it says about this. Hope you get my point!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  97. Abale zisungileni ulemu mai jb ndi munthu wabwino, ntchito zake zikumuchitila umboni. Asiyeni mayi athandize anthu osowa. Zosanzikazo ndi zanu inuyo mumachoka mumasanzika ndani? mukungolimbana ndi mai bwanji?

  98. DO NOT FOOL US DR CHAPONDA, JB DID NOT INVITE HERSELF TO THESE MEETINGS. I HAVE NOTED THAT PRIME MINISTER OPUMA GOLDEN BROWN WAS THERE, BUT I HAVE NOT HELD THAT HE EMBARRASED CAMERON? IF ANYTHIING MUTHARIKA EMBARRASED HIMSELF. HE CAN NOT ARTICULATE ISSUE. DPP IS AN EMBARRASEMENT. LEAVE JB ALONE YOU HAVE GOT WORK TO DO. PEOPLE ARE EXPECTING YOU TO DELIVER ON YOUR PROMISES

  102. Concentrate on issues nt tissues…tu me u hv a lot tu do tu the cntry nt personalising wateva…rmember u ar using tax payers mone, tel us wat u got frm the trip…

  105. DPP is jittery of JB FACT! The lady is a global icon accept it basi, she was invited to the sideline meetings with all costs covered while Pitala was busy spending our hard earning tax payers money on unfruitful enngements. Shame on you Vote riggers you thought mwathana naye JB, simunati! the world loves her and you cannot take that away from her, it is her God given annointing to be favoured.DPP has more problems than JB and its time they started focusing on that rather than the whole Govt machinery towing JBs moves….

    DPP mukulila anakukwatirani ka JB ndimwe wakazi wake. Look at it this way During Bingu’s tenure when she was VP you were all spending sleepless nights with JB, when you fired her from you party you were not sleeping too and almost all programs on MBC on JB, when she ascended to presidency DPP campaing and propaganda machinery was on JB and her PP Govt and Now the DPP is ruling the country and look now they are busy spending sleepeless nights with this woman to an extent of forgeting that they are ruling , such scenerios happen in a marriage and normally it is the wife who spends sleepless nights following her hubby. Kweee JB anamukwatilani ka inu a DPP ndimwe wakazi wa JB

  106. Useless DPP at it again! Please stop fighting a global icon! Takonzani ma working conditions a ma civil servants.

  108. She is guilty of stealing the show under the nose of sloppy government. It is a wake-up call for the gvt NOT to underrate JB. You may call her names here. You may insult her,but the world out there hangs on every word she utters. They scramble for her presence. We are told Peter is also known everywhere. So they will keep on meeting and more embarrassments loading.

  109. Hahahahahaha Kodi a Chaponda vuto ndichani lero ndiye mukufuna kuti namiza kuti your govt is open to the former head of state for dialogue kkkkkk chifukwa olo atabwera for consultation on her travels mumupanga ignore ,,,, ndiye akakudumphani mukunjenjemera naye Jb kkkkkk.

  111. AMALAWI MTSOGOLERI WOPUMA SI JOICE BANDA YEKHA AYI PALI BAKILI MULUZI NDIPO AKAMAPITA KUNJA AMAKASAZIKA KWA PULEZIDENTI. KODI JOICE AMAZIWONA NGATI NDANI.
    NGATI ANALEPHERA MASANKHO NDI BVUTO LAKE AYENELA KUPELEKA ULEMU KWA PULEZIDENTI.MATAMA AMENE AKUCHITAWO NDI AMENE ANAMPANGITSA KUTI ALEPHERE.UFUNE USAFUNE NDIWE WOPUMA BASI UZIKASAMALA AMUNA AKO. AMABVUTIKA KWAMBIRI CHIFUKWA UMAWAYENDETSA KULI KONSE NGATI WAMISALA

    1. hey idiot you are writing shit here. to hell with your idiotic comments. Leave JB alone. Mbuzi yako yopanda mano yija singafikilepo pa JB, kutali kwabasi. ngati uli ndi mavuto akwanu just go and do farming in the village…..

  112. Kuyambira kale ndimamuona Chaponda ngati munthuwanzerumu DPP yonse koma apapa waonetsa uchitsiru wakhe wonse, why should JB ask for permission to have external travels and why is the government stressed about her? Please Chaponda don’t behave like an ignorant Kaliati we respect you as a person who does fail in life as you claim yourself. Now you want to be a failure there.

  114. Shut up you guys and start running the country! You embarrased yourselves because you think JB is too small for you and you cant be bothered with whatever is coming from her office hence ignoring calls from her advisors anyway so you would have still missed information about her invitation to the UN Summit. Zokuba ndizovuta; you always have to watch ngati anthu akuona. The Devil will give you an idea to commit sin but he is not Jesus because he wont provide a way out. You guys thought getting into the position of power is all you needed but there’s alot more. Satana yemweyo anakunamizani akuzunzani ndi kukuyalutsani mpaka kuyipa kwanu kudziwike dziko lonse lapansi. God can never be manipulated! He is God who “exalts the foolish things of this world to shame the wise” you thought you have made it and JB is a nobody now. This is just the beginning of the wheeping until you confess and apologise to Malawians on your evils; starting from the time Bingu died to now! Dont play with God or His people; He will sort you out!!!

  117. Its true asamapange choncho chifukwa kumisonkhanoko atha kumatengedwa ngati watumidwa ndi boma being a former head of state pamene wangoyendela za yekha.zimene akupanga ndizofuna kulipangitsa boma ngati siliri organized.Atsogoleri akale amayiko ena akunenedwawo amapita kumeneko mogwirizana zokachita ndi mayiko akwawo osati on personal issues.Ndichifukwa chiyani samkapanga attend ma function okhudza mayikowa panthawi imene asanakhaleko president.Ngati akutengera mwayi poti anali former head of state ndikumakakhala nawo pamisonkhanoyi anayenera kuchita mogwirizana ndi boma limene liri pano pokana kumakapereka mfundo zosemphana ndi nthumwi za boma.Amayiwa ayenera kupereka ulemu ku boma liri panoli osati kumapanga zinthu ngati mwana amene satha kuganiza bwino.Kodi adayamba akuyitananipo ku misonkhani imeneyi kale musanakhaleko president wa dziko kuti mukachite campaign ya foundation yanu? If you are invited as a former head of state ndiye kuti zokachita kumisonkhaniko ziyenera kukhala zogwirizana ndi boma to avoid conflict of ideas there.Mudziwe kuti sangakuyitaneni mu dzina la foundation. Ndi anthu angati munawawona kumeneko a ma foundation omwe sanali atsogoleri.Please wake up Mayi former Head of state!

    2. Bwanji samauitane Gwengwe under his Alice Gwengwe Foundation? Mzimayiu still think she is in power and this is really embarrassing to the Nation.

  118. As a Citizen of Malawi,there is no evidence that JB’s Presence on the side meetings of UN General Assembly embarrassed the State President of Malawi and DPP Government,in other words the DPP Government embarrassed itself because it rigged the 20th May General Elections,,,,,DPP Government is not trusted Internationally! If JB has been invited by UN to attend the UN General Assembly,there is no point of consulting State President on her travel requirements,she is entitled to benefits as former head of state as it is stipulated in the constitution…..

  120. Eish na wah 4 youoooo. Why cnt u shat de fucker up did she use ur fucken money 2 go their ?ooooh guyz mind ur own fucken bzns

  121. Minister Chaponda . please don’t brind fold us here , we just want your party and government to start giving people what you promised them .Dont use Joyce Banda “s name to keep us busy or you think that we can forget about the looming strike by the civil servant, what about the issue of federalism? the caress adjustments of prices at Road Traffic. Where is justice when you raise prices of goods and commodities by 300% and you increase salaries by 24%?
    We know that you were a way and these are the issues we want the president to be addressing not your propaganda here. The days of getting Malawians for granted are over and we are not going to be swayed by your buy out NGO”s
    SHAME////////////////.

  124. …i think if there is any wisdom here, it is that the Government should complain about any clashes to the organisations that invited JB and not enter into ‘Pamtondo ladies gossip’
    Here, you have Kaliati hinting that JB had indeed been delegated to speak at some meetings and yet we are now hearing JB should not have been there at all. Make up your mind. If she wasn’t there you would truly have been embarrassed as she actually saved the day!
    You really ought to be schooling us about which agendas are the First Ladies priorities, her Private or Government’s affairs?. If first ladies meeting was a private affair, why was there a need for her to delegate JB to Speak?

  125. JB is an attention seeker. She wil try to do her best to come to the lime light. The government should ignore her. She is good at charity work not running the government. One thing Madam president should try doing is to slowing down. If she thinks she can turn things around in this country by herself, then she will be in for a shock!

    1. Mbuzi zozolowela kusiya nkazi pakhomo. You think the only need for a woman is having sex with her, giving birth to your children, cleaning and cooking for you. Ukawauze akazako zimenezo. Enafe amene tili civilized we leave our wives to be productive and shine! And that makes us proud!

  127. A Chaponda let sleeping dogs lie mungoyambisapo maphokoso pa zinthu za zii.Go for Development not personalities.if Joyce Banda spoke with wisdom then it’s good for Malawi.What you are doing will be seen as jealous at it’s level.This will create an impression that JB internationally is superior than our President.I Like Peter Mutharika when he concentrates on his Development Agenda for Malawi ,Unity Agenda and Peace Agenda.I see Peter Mutharika somebody with a vision to develop our country.The news I get from where Mutharika went shows that he was there to lobby for Malawi development in all sectors .So just concentrate on these.If you start talking more about JB people will start thinking that she is super but in actual sense Peter might be super.We want to see development,hunger free,disease free Malawi and not who was who at UN meetings.Remember a Good Leader is judged by Good Results.Speeches are not results.Free advice to Peter Mutharika go for development and not personalities.

  128. If Mr Mathanyula decided to be embarrassed by Dr JB let’s be as it is but JB went to USA for her own bussiness & no need to consult anybody in the world, Did joyce went to your mothers home? Being in Government I’m sure you got a lot to do, So why can’t u leave JB alone?

  129. The impression being created here is that the incumbent and the former President are competing for recognition in international functions. This is not helpful. We need sobriety of minds here. The former President is a recognised figure – just like the incumbent. They are both Malawians and hopefully, they are doing things for the good of all of us. They need to talk. I know this is rather difficult for Joyce as she still appears to be disgruntled with the General Elections. The incumbent must also be understanding. Joyce has the right to network with anyone she feels comfortable with. I strongly recommend that the two should talk so that they do not seem to contradict each other in the foreign lands as they try to explain what they think is happening in Malawi.

  130. Chaponda wakeyunso. Do you really want Malawians to believe that if Joyce Banda had told you that SHE HAS BEEN INVITED THERE, you could have cancelled your 68 delegation of attendees and took her instead? Does that reasoning even have a glint of truth to tell a 2year old? And muckracker akamakunenani ndizokamba zopanda pake ngati izi muyambansokugula ma journalist kuti aziti ndi oyipa? Koma abale. Kodi inu ndi mpingo wonse munawutenga uja munapangako chani kumeneko apart from ndege yokwera anthu awiri ija?

  131. That is being out of thoughts by the minister, What was wrong with JB presence at the side meeetings of the United nations , after all we saw so many former presidents there of different countries.
    Joyce Banda alibe nthawi yonyengerera kapena kupembedzera boma ngati ma Ex-presidents enawa akuchitila ayi , pofuna kuzemba milandu yawo ku khoti ayi.
    KEEP THE FIRE BURNING JB WE LOVE YOU.

  132. That’s why adabweretsa bill ya dziphwisi ku parliament then lero nkumati sitidzachitanso uchitsiru ngati umene uja. This shows that chaponda and his dpp fellas have mulfunctioning chickenbrains which make them to utter rubbish and senseless later on to apologise. Forgive them they are a bunch of stupid dpp

  135. Guys,,,, school me,,,,,, why should JB consult the whole Govt on her foreign trips????? will they be paying for her airticket………mukufuna azingokhala pakhoma mzimayiyu…… ZANKUTU BASI……..

    DIPWIPWI Guys just keep quiet and mind your own business…. mulibedi nzeru anthu inu….. MBUZI YA MINO YA PUSI…KKKKK

    1. Olo ine sindikumvetsa why she must consult first…….The first lady will shun alot of meetings in the future and this is just the begining of the song..JB WOYE

  136. Political of hatrage Mr Chaponda will take us no where? Did Jb use government funds when she travelled to UN? Did she utter her speech on behalf of government of Malawi? Can you just concentrate on issues affecting the country. start addressing issues which are brought by some quarters ie secession/federalism

  138. It is not a strange thing from DPP. Kaliati also said the same words. Let JB travel everywhere in the World. What is your problem? You know very well that JB is well known the whole World and has many friends around the Globe. We shall see in 2019 polls.

  141. kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk akukuopsanitu Mamawo eti, mpakana chaponda BP, kkkkkkk simidati, iye uja ndi president kodi simudziwa. kkkkkk

  143. hahahah!how can a UN envoy to chair one of the meetings consult a mere president of Malawi?

  145. What is wrong with these nepostic dunderheads masquarading as our leaders? Leave JB alone. Please, leve her alone!!!. Petty politics. If JB outshone your leader and DPP, that is none of our business, you just have to perform better next time. JB is a world citizen, as you might have discovered for yourselves in New York. She just goes about doing her thing and is not meant to embarass whoever. A Bongololo!!!

    1. JB outshinning who? Abale tisapange compare JB ndi Peter. Awiriwa ayiyana kwambiri. Chonde let us be objective and not malicious.

      1. ndiye mukudandawula chani agalu inu ngati jb sangafanane ndi mathanyula wanuyo???? inde ndakumbukiradi, sangafanane, jb ndi dolo kuposa izi zophwanyikaphwanyika mkamwazi kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

  146. both parties know what they are doing. therefore, no need to intervene. we may have little knowledge about this issue

    1. Go to hell ###6???? please leave JB alone and remember JB has got her own politic party as JB is not under captive to travel and JB doesn’t abuse government resources or funds, so DPP what is your problem. JB is free to travel, who is that IDIOT authorities you are referring to??? to hell CHAPONDA!!! JB has got RIGHTS to travel please musatipondeleze tinatopa ndi KAMUZU as he was doing the same to Malawians citizens not now

      Its hazardous to be more educated sometimes more over when you are getting older you starts talking MAYI, MAYI, MAYI and nosense like CHAPONDA.

  148. JOYCE BANDA MORE FIRE UR NOT EMBARRASSING ANYBODY , KEEP IT UP THIS IS WHAT WE CALL CIVILIZED DEMOCRANCY

  149. Exactly how does the former president attending side meetings embarrass the incumbent? Its impossible I am dull
