Commissioner Elvey Mtafu exposes incompetency at Malawi Electoral Commission
Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) commissioner Elvey Mtafu has exposed how incompetent the pollster is as she failed to respond basic questions regarding her job.
Mtafu appeared before the parliamentary Appointments Committee which is holding the Constitutional Court ordered hearing to find out the competency of the commissioners following a flawed May 21 presidential election.
She could not answer basic questions such as the lawyers for the commission as well as what transpired during the commission’s last meeting.
On the names of lawyers that read and made a summary of the judgement to the commission, Ntafu says she has forgotten some names
“But I remember this name [Tamando] Chokotho. He came and said that his other colleagues were tied up elsewhere.”
However, Mtafu contradicted another commissioner Bishop Mary Nkosi who earlier told the committee that the decision to appeal against the Constitutional Court was not made by the whole team of nine commissioners.
The committee has told her to appear before the committee again on Friday and should be well prepared.
“. I was prepared but you may be aware that I had no information on the contents of our meeting that is why I might be skipping some questions,” Mtafu said.
Some of the questions raised to here were:
Question: As a commissioner, who do you work for?
Ntafu: I work for the people.
Q: Are you accountable to Malawians?
Ntafu: Yes I am.
Q: Who communicates the decisions of the commission to stakeholders?
Ntafu: She did not answer the question
Earlier on the PAC heard from Commissioner Bishop Mary Nkosi on how May 21 2019 elections were handled.
Other Commissioners expected to appear before the Committee are Jean Mathanga, Elvey Mtafu, Rev. Dr. Killion Mgawi, Ambassador Yahaya M’madi, Justice Dr. Jane Ansah, Ms. Linda Kunje, Dr. Moffat Banda and Rev. Clifford Baloyi.
The Constitutional Court ruled that the May 21 presidential election was marred with irregularities and anomalies which had been so widespread, systematic and grave that the integrity of the election results had been seriously compromised.
The court then ordered the parliamentary hearing to find out if the state should fire the commissioners for incompetency or not.

Am not a Lawyer but hearing the confusion from these people called Commissioners, please, just throw out this appeal. Its a waste of time hearing and listening to incompetent and confused Bunch of thieves.
DPP, munabetsa. Poti munapatsana kumbali, kakambilaneni kumbali komko.
Kaya mupatsana chenje zanu, musova.
These commissioners are too old for this too job.They could not argue on anything.Which were busy exchanging figures without their knowledge.Really what is the criteria of choosing commissioners especially on age
90 and above
These grand mothers should be busy with their grand children. Both Nkosi and Ntafu are spent force fit for the village

The job description of these commissioners is much the same as that of Board Members of Parastatals. Sitting Phwii and getting hefty pecks and gratuity at the end of their terms….Cry My Beloved Country….

Kod ndekut qualification yoyambilira kukhala commissioner nkukhala gogo eti??? Nanga akuonekera commissioner Ntafu, Nkosi magogo okha okha.
ETI AMWENE
Honestly most of the commissioners are old. They cannot be actively involved in such a high demanding job. They simply cannot cope up. Parties recommend active and competent people.
Evely Mtafu is not that old. Problems and the death of her husband took their toll. She is a properly qualified physiotherapist and she obtained her qualifiacation in Germany where she stayed over 20 years as her late husband was working there.
She is very fluent in German and speks English that you can understand – did you want her to speak like Chakwera
People are not interested whether she stayed in Germany for 2 minutes or 20years. She was supposed to answer the basic questions to prove her competence. I hope she will do better on Friday.
Nde ngat she stayed in Germany for 20 years just imagine. Mene amapita ku Germany atakula kale sikut anapita ali baby ai. Then nkuzabwela ku Malawi amunawo nkuyamba ndale ndi lero limenelo???? Magogo awa pilizi chonde
people can be incompetent at a job despite have high qualifications, no need to feign ignorance when your competency is being questioned.
KKK koma guys aphungu aku malawi kuno sali serious.
zoona a UDF akasankhe gogo yu kukhala commissioner wao,nawo a MCP kukasankha Nkhosi ngat commissioner wao.
lero akufuna azioneka ngat kasankhidwe kama commissioner sikamawakhudza.
Posankha azigogo amenewa amaona ngati azikataniko ku MEC ko abale
Tisanamizidwepo apa,zipani zimasankha ma commissioner ngat ma representative a zipani
so if stayed in German makes youvfail to answer simple questions?she is useless
Kkkkkk

Satana akugwiritsa ntchito anthu kuti a Malawi azikangana. Satana akupanga anthu kuba, kupha, kuononga. Malawi yose yilape pobvala ziguduli, ndikuzola phulutsa, chamoyo chonde, purezidenti , ndi amatchalichi, prophets, everyone, Repent sin of Malawi has reached heaven, like Nineveh. Malawi has no voice of God!! Pitful
she is a granny this one abale…..how can she be a commissioner ?
The problem is not MEC but the party that submitted her name to be in the commission
It is not surprising that MEC did not perform to the expectation. Most of the commissioners are old that they can not perform and Alufandika can easily manipulate them. Plz new MEC should be of think tanks
koma abale nanga nkhalamba ngat imeneyi ingakumbukile za chaka chatha?
nanuso ma MP simuli seriuos tu zoona mumkavomeleza nkhalamba ngat zimenezi kumati zingayendetse chisankho?
masanje amachuluka pa malawi pano sure
ndye kuli a KILIION MGAWI ,nkhalamba yotheratu kaya aziti chani ku meeting imeneyi.
Parliaoment yathu sili serous,anawavomeleza bwanji azigogo amenewa
i like this observation my friend. excellent thinking keep it up
Spme of these commissioners are very old to do their job ongofunika kukhala panyumba kumadya phala
These old people must go. They think they are still in 1950’s, this is 21st century. Ai ndithu zaonjeza ndakaika ngati enafe titi tizagwire ntchito.
O also see that the commissioner is a senior citizen and that may affect her ability to remember. Some of these these things we need to prevent them from happening by way appointing some relatively young people. I belie
ve that even come the day she will be called again she could as well have some ‘normal” challenges relating to the same
With such people as commissioners it will be difficult for them to be competent.She looked like she did not understand anything and She could not understand and speak English properly but she was appointed to be one of commissioners at MEC.As commissioner she has failed big time.Malawi can not prosper with such people in such positions.She has very little education. From what I heard from her,it is better parliamentary appointment committee be the ones appointing commissioners not president. A failed president is the one who appointed these failed commissioners, party diehards.And am questioning how did Peter Munthalika managed to be a law professor coz I don’t see anything that shows that he is one of professors of the world.May be he just bought his qualifications ,as most DPP politicians does.It is possible that he bought them.Akumatichitisa manyazi kumayiko ena. Peter Munthalika should resign, that would be good for him.Timva zambiri, zomwe zikuululikazi.Fire all of them.
ZILIKO! ANA A ADADI TSOPANO.NTHAWI YAKWANA YOLAPA MACHIMO.DUSTAIN MWAUNGULU AKUKUDIKILANI KU SUPREME COURT OF APPEAL.
KOMANSO IWE MATEMBA, ACB DIRECTOR USACHEDWESE MULANDU OPANGA BRIBE MA JUDGE
Ndipo chimene judge waku supreme court sakumangidwa i dont kno
If you still keep this bunch of commissioners , my family and I will never ever vote in the coming rerun bcoz they are all incompetent and not eligible to hold office
Malawi has become the throne of Satan .
Iwe we wanna hear Ansah

THIS LADY FROM MULANJE IS A VERY VERY BIG CROOK. ASK THOSE WHO KNOW HER, THEY WILL TELL YOU. THE LADY IS WICKED. IT WAS VERY UNFORTUNATE THAT LATE NGA MTAFU MARRIED THIS LOMWE CROOK.
Can we have young, energetic and competent commissioners. This appeasement cannot help us. What role as commissioners did they play
Figureheads
The parties that appointed them are to blame.
Kodi popereka u Commisioner umenewu amayang’Ana Chianti makamaka ??????
Kukalamba. Kalambani kaye nde mungazaninkhidwe
I am going to sleep. Good night Ivy Mtafu.
Very old and suprisingly greedy commissioners
It appears ma commissioners ndi ma pensioners okhaokha may be save for namathanga. No wonder kape Alfundika amatasa.
The allowance syndrome. Zomangoti bola ndadyapo allowance, neglecting your call to duty., and not paying attention to very important details. A problem in many sectors here in Malawi
The are old people trying to defend their old fellow APM, sad
