Chilima courts Lilongwe rural voters during Imbizo tour
Presidential candidate for UTM Party, Saulos Chilima impressed Malawi Congress Party’s (MCP’s) backyard in Lilongwe rural promising to revive the agricultural sector and urging the people to demand accountability on how their taxes are spent by the government when he conducted more than 20 Imbizos (Whistle-stops) at the weekend.
This comes just after a week when Chilima, who is also the country’s Vice-President also toured Lilongwe rural with more than 40 Imbizos.
While Chilima was convincing voters in Lilongwe rural, his runningmate Dr Michael Usi was also conducting his own imbizos in Blantyre.
During the stops, Chilima reiterated his message of hope for the social and economic development of Malawi through the practical and comprehensive blueprint that UTM plans to implement after winning elections in May.
He said it is sad that after 55 years of independence, Malawi’s achievement is to be sighted as a good example of economic mismanagement, and urged the people of Lilongwe to stop expecting different results when they are doing the same things.
“You people should have been the most proud Malawians for staying in the capital of this republic because ordinarily this should have been the most developed district owing to its status, but when I look at the glaring poverty just outside the heart of town I always wonder where I am,” said Chilima.
“We must never accept this status quo to continue as we will be guilty to our children for bequeathing to them a world that they do not deserve; it will be a crime against humanity to let this poverty extent to our children,” said Chilima.
He told the people that the first thing that the UTM government will do after winning the May 21 tripartite elections is to seal all holes through which government money has been pilfered by accomplished thieves that are busy masquerading as later-day saints and father Christmases dishing out ‘developments’ to unsuspecting Malawians.
He said UTM will purge out criminals on top of offering them a 30 day amnesty to return the loot to Malawians so that the money is channeled towards projects that would directly benefit the people.
Said Chilima: “We know the people that were paupers in this country walking down our streets just four years ago, but have grown so rich; they have become billionaires within a short space of time but without any visible enterprise or legal source of money. Their only qualification has been their proximity to the leadership or ruling elite.”
“This is not how things are supposed to be in this country and we want that to change. Malawi should be a land of opportunity for all of us not just a chosen few.”
The UTM President assured the people of Lilongwe Rural that, as a district which mostly relies from tobacco farming, the district stands to benefit from the concept of mega-farms which is one of programmes that the UTM government will implement.
“We need to be live to the reality that we may not be earning from tobacco like we should. In fact the proceeds from tobacco have profoundly dwindled over the past years and the situation does not look it will improve anytime soon. We therefore cannot be sitting ducks and be perpetual victims of circumstances, which is why the UTM government will implement this program to ensure that people from this area are redeemed from the poverty trap,” said Chilima.
Apart from talking development, Chilima called on people of Lilongwe rural to demand development and not to allow any political leader give them anything less, for instance, providing a borehole when they rightfully deserve piped water.
“You own the development agenda, you pay taxes. You pay taxes, through soap that you buy or airtime you use in those phones. Nobody should tell you ‘without us you would be nothing’,” he said to the wild ululation of the crowd gathered.
Realising the uphill task UTM has in Lilongwe rural, Chilima told the gathering not to vote out of mercy or habit.

MCP IS STILL IN CONTROL OF THE CENTRAL REGION DONT FOOL YOURSELF…..
SKC has chewed with DPP for 4 years. He was denied the presidency and jumped ship. What would have happened if he was given the presidency? I am sorry. 4 years he did not buy bonya.

town mongers,come to my village please
Yes its the back yard koma mchewa sukumudziwa . Anthu akubwera yes chigulu.anga votere chilima Kuti gule athe ndani… ? They will vote FOR MCP trust me.. chilima is not bad. But MCP IKUTENGA MIPANDO YONSE THIS TIME AROUND. Maganizo anga amenewa ndi mmene nduwonera
Dr Chilima is right. Never sweep dirty under the carpet. Any new president should seriously have a strong commitment to recover all that has been stolen from Government and the people of Malawi. And hammer them hard with prison sentences to deter any potential criminals. If anything all suspected criminals in corrupt acts should be sqeezed tightly until they spend all that they stole on legal deffences. Whether they will say its politically motivated let be, but it is clear that they have amassed crime wealth from government and the people of Malawi. Malawi needs clean leaders to move this country forward. A country ran by crooks and leaders without integrity can not prosper. Malawi is in a very delapilating and collapsing economy because of corrupt, criminal and unpatriotic leadership. We need uncompromising hammer on all suspects of criminal acts after 21 May.
Dr Chilima is right. KKK. Have you ever heard a corrupt person admitting he/she is corrupt?
The worst corruption to me is when you steal people votes and give it to an obvious corrupt person. Not only that you even join him with a hope to share the evil wealth. May i remind you Malawians that as long as you vote “bakuba” bo mwebo we will remain under that curse. I respect people who say would rather remain in opposition than join bakuba. See what they do to each other when they come to power. If you are any other animal other than a pig you remain sleeping on the floor and pigs on the bed. Dr Chilima is right…heart breaking.
Kudzikwata ndi chala uko! How will Chilima recover stolen Government money when he is using the same money for campaign from Makondis and the likes? Not all of us are foolish like you Sir!
The guy who talks sense during campaign osati enawa ongolubwa ndi rhetoric. muzingolota za u strong hold. You will wake up from your dream.
Dr Chilima in Lilongwe. Dr Michael Utsi in BT.
Politics aside. They are doing what they can.
The guy who talks sense during campaign, not rhetoric.
I listened to a preacher who was asked why he is preaching on the same verse every sunday the whole month. He replied that until they change he will be preaching the same. I think malawians are too much confused with what they have been fed, mere dream promises and they haven’t learnt a thing to change.
I would rather follow a person who talks of true achievable things repeatedly than one who talks of wish list. KKK, i wish i could build a bridge from Nkhata bay to Likoma and buy shoes for all malawians.
Come on Malawians, this is not the time for politicians to use emotions on us and reserve reasoning for a afew, themselves in their secret chambers where they discuss how to swindle us.
Boma ilooo
Koma chaka chake ndichino kuti waka moto buuuu wowina saziwika mpikisano ulipo
The whirlwind of change is blowing fast at lightening speed to smote all and sundry who have rooted our country, arise malawi for a new dawn is come.
Lilongwe people are wondering what has befallen them. Chilima is enjoying their taxes while busy campaigning purportedly from the opposition. Lilongwe people believe it was the Vice President addressing them not a presidential candidate. Not this time around dude! People are awake. They know you are indecisive, weak and has no political agenda. It’s all fantasy…
U r in denial!
Stupid without mind galu sulipila nsonkho iwe.
bodza
My advise to my fellow Malawians, let us vote for Dr. Saulos Klaus Chilima the only visionery leader sent by God. He has come to transform Malawi and to Make Malawian enjoy their country. This is an opportunity let us vote wisely.
Given the title of the article I expected to hear views from people who attended the Imbizo but I could not relate the impact as promised by heading. I so sorry!!!
Namalira wamkulu azakhala Chilima! He can’t win election.! He can’t even make it to no.2. Just wasting your resources!
just read the handwriting on the wall Chilima ndi boma. Take a pick
just wait. dooms day is near. we shall see what this writing was all about
