Chilima has not tested Covid positive, callous propaganda dismissed
Vice President Saulos Chilima has not tested positive for coronavirus as rumours on social media seem to suggest as government machinery has dismissed the callous propaganda.
Nyasa Times has verified with government spokesperson Gospel Kazako as well as spoken to the Veep’s spokesperson Pilirani Phiri that indeed Chilima is well and has been in the office today.
“Ignore what is circulating on social media. The Vice President is well and fine,” Phiri said.
“Actually, he has already taken up the directive that the President has made that Dr. Chilima leads a ministerial task-team to review Covid 19 guidelines in order to respond effectively to the pandemic,” said Phiri.
During a national address on Tuesday, President Lazarus Chakwera directed that the ministries of Health, Homeland Security, Education, Civic Education, Local Government, Justice and Information to work together with the Office of the Vice President to review Covid 19 guidelines and recommend any amendments to be made to the guidelines.
Minister of Information also said Chilima has been taking regular tests of Covid-19 and his latest one in last 48 hours came negative.
On Tuesday Malawi lost Local Government Minister Lingson Berekanyama and Transport Minister Sidik Mia to the virus pandemic.
In his address, Chakwera said 6000 people have recovered but close to 50 people have died in the past 10 days.
The President has reminded the public to adhere to Covid measures, saying “each one of us is not safe.”
apa ttisakandane mmaso ticedwa nazo.
just protect yourself , others , and stay safe.
Covid palibe akumuona akuyenda ndi miendo nkubwera mmakomo. zikanatelo pano tikumuthawa.
DZITETEZENI BASI. ZOKAMBAKAMBA MUCEDWA NAZO
Why do you DPP cadets like spreading fake news??
My neighbour died of coronavirus a few weeks ago. There was no drama. What has changed today?
He must get it! This idiot was the one telling people to hug each other, that Covid is not real. He should get it! He deserves it.
Mmmmm you will die of it instead
Not before you
SKC needs to be healthy and fit. We pray for his healthy and the Laz Chakweras health. These are our leaders and may God protect them. Yes we didnt vote for them but being Presidents their position is a national one beyond party lines. Plus as human beings or tisiyane zipani we need to respect and wish each other well.
zoona zake ndizimenezi
Stupid what kind of rubbish is this instead of chilima to get coronavirus you yourself u will take it
Don’t be scared Nyoni by those who are crashing you, you are talking the truth, only that truth pains. This idiot was really discouraging the former government in its noble efforts to combat the disease, power hungry for nothing; now look how brainless they seem to be in almost everything. Look also at that briefcase political party HRDC’s echoes that government should put in place complete lockdown, very laughable, lockdown today because it’s their government?
Yah coz we have what we wanted then now they can implement Lockdown no problem, we just wanted to get rid of DPwiPwi out of the government.
Too much corruption , nepotism and Alhomwe alhomwe attitudes
Whether Chilima is has tested positive for Covid or not, it’s immaterial. He is a human being like all of us. If he has tested positive, let’s pray for his quick recovery. If he has not, let’s encourage him to stay safe. This is a no joking matter gentlemen. Losing two senior Cabinet Ministers in a day is nothing more than a calamity.
Well put!
If Hamdan arafat a.k.a. baby chilima has not tested positive, then God is not fair because chilima is the one who encouraged people to hug each other because covid-19 is fake. Lero anthu akufa ngati nkhuku because of chilima’s careless remarks. Kulankhula kwandithendithe sikwabwino. Naye chilima afe ndithu. Fotseki zake.
Moyo sakusungira ndi nzako. Wandale sangakusungire moyo wako. Zina zija timangonvera chabe akalankhula osazitsatira chifukwa Sichiri chonse wandale amanena chimakhala choona. We need to learn as malawians. Inde tinawavotera engage koma sindiye kuti mfundo zawo zones zinali 100% perfect. Zina wekha munthu umadziwa kuti ndizabodza kapena zosatheka
Ambili amadzipeleka povota ndiwomwe amawakhulupilira andale zolankhula zawo kwaaambili.
Ndikukaika iwe wozindikilawe kuti umakavota.
You maybe surprised that it would be you dying or your relationship dying of Covid-19 and not Chilima caz u can’t dictate to God what He should do. Death is beyond your control.
MY FRIEND LEAVE GOD ALONE
kodi hug mukuti bwa nayo.
anthu mmanyumba ku gagana mwakathithi eee
Iyamba ndiwetu
Uyambe ndiwe
Its a pandemic, anyone can get it. Why all this excitement as if we are children with immature brains. If he got it chances are he would survive it just like the many that are recovering.
Sober up!
True!
Praise God
Kwatsala tchire ndikomwe moto umapita.
Mademo aja alikuti?
Poti lockdown mnakana kale nde osatiudza za lockdown pano.
Corona tsiimaona chipani kapena ntundu.
Munali inuyo patsogolo kutsogolera mademo kukanidza lockdown.
Nde lero mayankho afikila nyumba mwanu momwe.
Mlungu simunthu ndipo amaona.
Do not tell us lies, whenever there is a press conference by the head of state on crucial issues the vice president ought to be there, his absence on that conference leaves alot of questions, just admit that he is on quarantine period! this disease is not discriminating and to have it does not mean that you are weak, learn to say the truth and you shall be set free, if he is really sick we just wish him a quick recovery, we are not ready to lose another top government official
