Chilima ‘under arrest’: Malawi veep at Balaka police with detained aides

1. ma cadets mukusowa zokamba apa sitikukamba za ma primaries a utm kapena chisanko cha mu may 2019 not at all, ife pano ndiokuzidwa ndikumangidwa kwa amalawi anzatu popanda chifukwa , zovota tilibe nazo nchito apa

2. Kodi mphaka wanu mumati wamangidwayo watulukano? Go tell your Mr ghostworker Arafat Hamdani kuti what he is practicing is cheap politics that will take him nowhere.

3. I think my national vice president needs some civic education in his head. He is just too big than he is supposed to be. When things were okay with your father Muthalika we told you to behave and have rules and laws which is good for everybody. You did the same during elections in Mchinji but you were above the law and now you also want to be above the law. Allow police t do their job. This is about the security of our national president, it would have been the same if you were the one and for it was going to be more because your anger is just too high. Cool down young but old man. Wait for your time. Don’t rush before your time. Tone down even when speaking against Chakwera, Peter,etc. Malawians are bigger than you Sir.

4. Ma hope ofuna kumangidwa,zaziiiiii. Amamangidwatu ndi ma political heavy weights osati chipani chopanda ma areas. Ma candidate kuchita kusowa anthu owavotera kkkkkkk koma sizinaoneke 2019 eiiiish,UTM

5. A Chilima musavutike, DPP is wining come May 2019

   1. I doubt that very much, if they were they wouldnt be running around stopping registrations of parties and arresting people for walking around at a cultural event.

   2. DPP is going to phaseout this coming 21may 2019.olo atumbuka nose mutavotera dpp

6. Akufuna atamangidwa. za ziiiiii

   1. Atati a che kufuna kumangidwa ulele kuti atchukirepo after miserable primaries which saw Manganya being declared a winner with only 7 votes from people taken on the street

7. Apapa mwana mwampatsa molalo yoopsa. Mwatha a DPP. Ndinu dzotsilu mmayesa muli ndi nzeru. I was not fir chilima but now i think i am… My vote now you have lost a pumbwa…. Nde poti mumabera tingoti mudzawinila kuba

   1. Molalo yofuna kumangidwa kuti atchuke,zautsiri.Amazimva bwanji kape ameneyu.Muyisova.Osazimanga yekha pa mtengo bwanji? Valera has a plan ndi munthu oyipa ,intelligence knows him.

8. Basitu a DPP kutipangira campaign, ife tili duuuuuu OSATEKESEKA

9. Countrymen,

   I think that this an abuse of the media and very dangerous to the country at a time when we are gearing towards elections. The article was not worth publishing because it has all signs of fake news or mere heresay. As a reader it is leaving me with more questions than answers on why exactly the police carried out this operation – if indeed they did.

   Should I really believe that the police arrested a person for merely attending a function? What charges, if any, have been made against these two gentlemen? Did the journalist try to establish these facts? If he failed, why? If he did, who exactly did the journalist interview – the police, a UTM official or a passerby who may also have been an eyewitness? If he interviewed a police officer, or a UTM official or any other eye witness, what exactly did they say happened?

   The title of the story says that Chilima has been “arrested” but the body of the story or the accompanying picture is not showing that Rt. Honourable Chilima has indeed been “arrested”. If anything, he seems to have just gone to the police station to inquire what exactly happened to his officials.

   By the way, did the journalist interview Hon. Chilima himself? If he did, where is the evidence that he indeed had gone to the police station to “hand himself” for “arrest” and that the police had indeed “arrested” him?

   You see, journalism is a noble service to the citizenry because it is premised on two issues: “facts” and “truthfulness.” In the absence of facts and a sense of truthfulness a piece of writing passes for fake news. The best thing this journalist, (if indeed the writer is journalist) needed to have done was wait until he had all facts on the desk. As it appears now, it is fake news meant for propaganda.

   Sadly, this kind of sensational stories can easily harm Right Honourable Chilima as a politician seeking the highest office of the land. If I were him I would have quickly sent out a correct narrative of what exactly happened. Letting this kind of articles pass is very harmful to one’s political mission.

   Kent Y.G. Mphepo – Blantyre

   1. That`s powerful Kent, you are indeed a veteran journalist.

      1. yaa its true kent

   2. The police spokesperson confirmed that they werent sitting down at the function and then decided to leave before the president which made them conclude this was suspicious behaviour worthy of dentention, they actually wanted to transfer them to Zomba prison.

      The fact is the Police is led by Mchacha, that itself was reason enough to be concerned in the first place.

      1. Mtchacha amadya maliro guys.ndale satha,a dpp akamulekelera awononga .sakudziwa kuti akupanga dicampain its party

10. This fool is an attention seeker. This is not true. How can the vice president he arrested
    UTM is too childish. I could understand if this was Dpp meeting.This was udf so investigate udf not dpp

11. Kikikiki koma zowona ntchito za manja A Dausi ndi Mutchatcha zikuchitila umboni uwu ndi umbuli weniweni

12. Please cheat me not. Tell me why the reps were arrested? The reason that they are arrested for representing somebody somewhere is not making sense. This is poor journalism at its best.

    1. No, its poor policing.

13. surely Dr S.K.C is taking government come Election tuesday, Is it how they oppressor plans it to make it look like it was our election yet they choose who to give power to?
    Somebody tell me?
    Is is not the same way they posted Prof APM?
    First getting him arrested and then what?
    President?
    Make it look like Robbin island and then makosi?

    1. boma liti atengelo Arafat wanuyo kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

14. This is what they call transformation. The two UTM officials what crime have they been arrested for? Look at the police station building of the so called transformed Malawi. Anzanu mu SADC region akumanga government infrastructure yosililika. Police stations of high standard, one design the whole country.Ife mediocrity tho tho tho. Not even paving the out side grounds of the offices. Matope choncho pamaofesi a boma ?

15. What happened to Bingu, Wont happen to Peter. No shortcuts to state house

16. Mpandamchokero anakodzera moto wa ana and criminals will always implicate others so that they look good in the eyes of public .buying public sympathy also has a role in this unbalanced and unfair story. Writers In malawi take advantage of people’s unrealistic reasoning over stories . In the first place what were the vp aides doing to warrant arrest …the writer remains quite on this .Malawians let’s be vigilant and eye opening

17. Komadi akulamula ndi apumbwadi eti? Pali nkhani apa! Koma Chilima wavutadi osati masewera.

18. Namalengeni kufuna kulowa ku state house through the window

19. All plans to kill the current president wont be possible. The president is gonna finish his tenure. Namalengeni seek the office of president through the ballot not shortcuts. IT WONT HAPPEN AGAIN WHAT HAPPENED TO BINGU!

20. I suppose we shouldnt be surprised, after all the police report to Mchacha, mbuli yachabechabe. The result is such nonsense, how can people be arrested because they didnt sit down and hence declared suspicious and a threat to the president. The only threat to APM is his weak bladder and poor leadership skills.

    No wonder he was talking about ‘Chiboda’ cha albino. A total clown.

21. Poor Reporting……. Report to public when you have details Mr. Reporter. Report should have facts. Someone who goes to police to be arrested instead of others you cant say he is arrested, instead he is handling over himself to police for crimes committed by others because he played a part. state the crimes committed by the two. why coming to public when you have no details mr reporter. ATTENTION SEEKERS!

22. The VP can not errested in army country in the world..he has immunity same as a orsident

23. At Pathfinder u r 100 % right DPP should suppose to focus on criius issues as u mentioned, but maliseche is really a professor of Law i doubt .

24. Nkhani ndiyoti a vice president a chilima anapita okha ku police nkuwapempha a police kuti nawonso awamange. welengani bwinobwino nkhaniyi. saulos angofuna attention basi

25. Why was APM given the floor? He should just have been treated as a VIP, if anything at all. Oh, I forgot Lhomwe chiefs have been planted in Machinga. Anthufe tanyanya kupusa. What contribution did he make to the grouping?

    APM will go to any function that offers an opportunity to sell himself and DPP.

26. Chilima’s aides are su specked of being connected to weapons. …

27. Malawi politics is so premitive we voted for mult party buy rulling parties behave as if it is the only party in the country

28. POLICE STATION NGATI BALANI
    LA FODYA GUYS ?

29. dpp tactics yanu ndiyofoila mumafuna chilima azikumbembezani chani inuyo doctor ngati ameneyi very academically brought , azichepa ndi antu achedwa kuganiza ngati mr maliseche, iyi ndi Malawi imasinta usogoleri tinavutika mwokwana

30. dpp ikukanika kulimbana ndizintu zeni zeni ma albino akupedwa daily police ikungoyangana ndi mr maliseche wawo alipompo kungokala , nde mpano kulimbana ndizintu zazii ngati zimenezi for what dpp muta ngati makati pa 21 may 2019 sikale kale ndipompano with meaningless agenda ngati zimenezi

    1. Whoever you are motherfucker please stop using my name by bad bad mouthing my beloved DPP party and government. Believe me buddy, you can not be me. You are a loser and you will always be. Onani ma primary anu achita flop koma mmalomooti a nyasatimes achite report momwe ma primary anu ayendela mwa mvemvemve, ali busy kupeka nkhani zina. Tsono iwe ukugwiritsa ntchito dzina langa ndiwe ofoira ndikhulupilira identity yako sukuidziwa. Anyway just like ambwiyako achilima you are just a thief.

31. Polìtics

32. Chilima yomweyo(Dpp mantha)

33. Ulendo waku State house umayambatu chonchi.

34. Is Chilima in a meeting with the O’/C. Balaka or arrested?. If arrested, on what charges?

35. Koma DPP samalani. Ndale zake za primitive.

36. Arresting a seating vice president?

    1. Umbuli ndi matenda, alembapo kuti Chilima wamangidwa apart???

       1. Some people don’t read the story on read comments and comment on them

37. Awa ndiye masanje osetera lezara

38. CHILIMA IS AN ATTENTION SEEKER, CHILDISH BEHAVIOUR GROW UP!!

    1. What s childish about exposing the wicked tactics of DPP, what is childish about defending what is right?

39. Really, our police. I am sure you have more important business to attend to. The arrested duo were sent to present gifts at the Chiwanja cha a Yao. Are you saying the only bona fide delegates to the function are Yaos and APM’s DPP? Shameeeee!

40. Chilipo chilipo timva

41. Eager to hear more about the offence the two have committed.

42. Zayambika ndiye ndale zimenezo. Chilima must practice clean politics.

    1. Clean politics ndi chiyani? Dont just words chisawawa izi ndichimodzi modzi kumati Gertrude Muthalika’s money is clean money…..

43. No Magic This Time Let Apm Finish His Tenure

44. I commented on the article of 2nd January, 2019 about the launch of Chiwanja cha Ayao ( my comment was in chiYao) that this so-called cultural grouping should not be politicised as is the case with Mulhako wa Alhomwe. But now look what’s happening.

    Each and every party had a right to be represented at the launch of Chiwanja cha Ayao.

    Is this cultural grouping a preserve of just one ( or two) political parties? Should we take it that Chiwanja cha Ayao is UDF team B? Remember that UDF and DPP are in cahoots, therefore they might, just might, be supporting each other in preventing Yaos of other parties from being members of the group.

    By the way, isn’t there a cultural grouping called Ndamo sya Ayao ( Chikhalidwe cha Ayao ) ? What happened to this group? Has it become extinct because one of the persons who vocally touted for its formation is Callista Mutharika? That was way back in Bingu’s regime.

45. Mukuti Chilima told police to arrest him instead. Mukuti he is in a meeting. So why say he has been arrested.

46. Is chiwanja cha a yawo a political party ?? Where is freedom of association ??

47. Police are folish, how could they arrest someone without any wrong doing? Unless they are hiding something.

48. I will not comment. Basi.

49. Tawasiyeni awa inu musawatchukitse ndi za ziiiii

50. Attention seeker “HARDtalk” Chilima uyu, still wanting to be in the limelight.
    Who hands themselves to the Police to replace those arrested, even if they were ones parents or kids? The basic principle is that the one responsible for a crime is the one to answer the charges.
    And, in any case, this report is lacking in relevant details: like, what the exact crimes are committed here. Maybe, too, the Police were protecting Valera and Unyolo from potential violence.

51. Mr. Reporter, tell us what wrong the aides and the Veep have wronged the country?

52. Zopusa izi

53. Chilima atipha basi Ife a DPP. Mwanayi samanama , samaopa munthu.

54. Izizi zisayambike chonde. Police Please be professional and avoid this sensitive handling of issues. Akutumani ndani. Agalu otchedwa apolice Inu muzatipweteketsa

55. Dear APM. Dont start a war you cant finish, this country will burn down tonight if you are not careful.

56. Kkkkkkkk ! Koma Saulos !

57. Arrests in multiparty era for political reasons? Kupusa Alamu Pumani Mwakalamba uku.

58. I guess Chilima should explain himself for making a stupid decision of handing himself to the authorities who were not looking for him in the first place. It sounds like a challenge to the authorities despite the perceived shortfalls in the seemingly politically motivated arrests of the two officials.

59. Instead of telling us about the botched primaries, UTM is getting it’s members arrested to divert attention.

60. Chilima has not been arrested. His followers have been arrested and he has gone there to get them released.
