Court stops Malawi lockdown, Judge Kenyatta grants HRDC injunction: New Covid-19 case registered

1. Sanakumane nazo.Iyi ndi ngozi no discussion but actions then later follow ups and remedies.Zilowe akufuna zilowe m’nyumba mwawawo Kaye kuti adziwe kuti mzofunika change.

2. Insulting the Judge just show cowardice. APM has set aside a budget of K150 billion to fight the virus and that is more than enough to give each Malawian, young or old, K50 000.00 hand outs. If the judge rules that everyone should be given K50 000.00, are these people who are busy insulting him refuse the money?

3. Koma atumbukawaaaaaaa heeee. Okkkkk.time will tell

4. Corona-virus came into Malawi because if this same Tumbuka judge Kenyatta Nyirenda. He is an idiot, corrupt and incompetent judge who represent the wrote of tumbuka judiciary that we have in Malawi. It will be better to cleanse our judiciary of these myopic tumbukas.

5. Tilowa mukatipasa ndondomeko zoti tisafe ND njala , ku South Africa kumene mukukopela ndondomeko zawo nzabwinoko zoganizila anthu awo for example akumawapatsa ufa sugar soap mafuta ophikila ndiwo izi magetsi madzi kuuza Eni ntchito kusawachotsa ntchito.inu kungoti lowani mnyumba three weeks oooooh ufiti suposa apa.tionane pa 24 mutiuze chenicheni. Ache mark botomani zawanyelela ku BBC. DPP ndiyankhanza .

6. Malawi will eventually be deviated by corona, only the. Will people understand. By then it would be too late to even say I told you so. But truth is the 79 year old Muntharika has tried.

   1. But failed, what is to clap hands for?

7. This matter is coming to court again on 24April. The Judge has impliedly given Jappiie Mhango and his committee enough time to put down measures that would cushion those who will be seriously affected by the lockdown. It’s up to the committee to come with such strategies . No sane Judge would rule against lockdown if such measures are put in place and clearly stated.

   1. Leave it to a bias, nepotistic Tumbuka judge who let Corona into the country in the first place. according to him government does no right.Everything must be opposed. Let’s see how this ends.

      1. Wafodya iwe ndithu. Coronavirus analowa muno coz your clueless government was unable to put in place mesures to stop people coming from coronavirus hotspot. The first cases were imported from India and the judge never allowed anyone from India to enter Malawi. Gets your facts straight the thickhead,,,,

      2. Give people the food, period! Useless head. Mukodza magazi this time.
         We aee smashing you hahahahahahaha Full scale Baba.

8. Sad. Let’s assume the so called human rights defenders and their bedfellows caught the virus. Or it should catch with their loved ones.

   1. Well it is coming

9. Enforce masks.

10. A very sad outcome that defies logic and intelligence at the highest order. It leaves the President with one option, that of declaring Martial Law to protect the nation.
    This is what happens when a country resorts to respect only one – legal recource to everything that happens in life. True, the Law is an ass…its burdened and moves rather too cowardly and slow. I hope when all the chips are down and the body bags are counted, HRDC will be held to account as to why such a collateral damage is deemed necessary for a country.
    In similar vain, it would be useless to accept international donor aid as the country has chosen to martyr its own people.

    1. LET HIM declare It …….It puzzles me. That you can afford to Gather Chiefs from Over the Country to Lilongwe But you can’t Gather MPs….Are chiefs immune to Corona……MPs could have told you that you Cant fight Corona Using a Centralised APPROACH …A lockdown can work in namiwawa not mbayani ,.What is ur strategy ……MPs coulnd have told u to Target high density areas in Cities with Massive testing ,social distancing and hygienne measures as they share resources like maize meals,water looks etc of course involving community lead who can arrange shifts if necessary OOsaati Basi kungolowesa ndale zanu pacorona…….

11. Listen Judge K Nyirenda and your friend Trapence if this Corona Virus kills people in this Country we shall hold you responsible – don’t think that you are clever but the blood of the innocent people who will perish with this corona virus will be on your head

    1. People, millions for that matter, die from various diseases everyday all over the world and they have been for centuries, who do you blame? And has anyone ever counted how many die from the various sicknesses? Do you have any idea how many have so far died from malaria, high BP, pneumonia, cancer, HIV aids, hunger etc world wide. Malaria alone kills over half a million people every year, cancer over 5 million, hunger a child every 10 seconds (check the WHO website). So what is so special about this rona that we always here 2 died here, 17 there, 900 in the other location? You threaten the learned judge with blood in his hands should someone die from flu and dzibayo inuyo mukuona ngati anthu osauka akafa ndi njala coz of your lock down you will not have blood in your hands? Deliberately letting people die because you are afraid of flu. Mwadwala inu dzimfine ndi dzibayo munayamba mwafapo?

       Italy was on total lock down but people kept on dying every single day and they were dying before the virus during this period because it is flu season up there. In the northern hemisphere, mostly white people die from flu. Please do a proper search on the internet on how flu affects those our cousins up there. And also seriously how do you lock down people because of a microscopic, airborne virus? Italy could have proved that lock down works if the number of deaths had subsided after the lock.

       Back to Malawi, 2 people died from “corona” from since it was “found” in this country and we heard from the minister of health on Thursday that the remaining 14 are “getting better” and actually they were only on “panadol”. Not ventilator but paracetamol. So you see, there is nothing to be afraid of out there.

       1. Panopa flu season ikutha kumeneko therefore we will see a drop in the number of deaths.

12. Good job Kenyatta. Mmalawi muno from chitipa to nsanje how many people are dying in a single day due to other diseases? Ndiye bwanji a bomawo samapangitsa lockdown. More than 40 people dies in our hospitals in a day, ndiye kuno angofa anthu awiri okha coz of corona basi mpaka lockdown??. Maiko anzathuwatu zikuwakhudza kwambiri za coronazi koma tikanena za matenda enawa amayesetsa kwambiri. Pamene pafera anthu more than 10 ndiye kuti ndi tagedy. Kenyatta wachita bwino koopsa mwina dzi DPP dzizindikire uchitsiru wao.

    1. 40 is possibly a natural setting…you haven’t seen nothing yet! Maybe think about how your hospital morturies would handle a thousand people dying everyday for months!
       This is no celebration…tsunami is yet to hit!

       1. Ai Phiri, tsunami taikana kuno mu dzina la Yesu. Lockdown tichita ndithu akaika ndondomeko. Osati nthawi ya lockdown ine wa ku area 43 fridge yodzadza koma a Malawi anzanga ku Ntandire alibe kalikonse. Ai Phiri tonse ndi a Malawi, tiyeni tiganizirane

13. vuto mukungonena za lock down ,mu lockdown mo muyikemoso ndondomeko zimene anthu akhale akusata pokalembetsa ma voti.chodabwitsa za mavoti sumukutchulamo.ku church ndi kwina mayika ndondomeko koma mukuti kugula chimanga Admarc ndi Auction floors ayi…aaa Nenani kuti mukuthawa ma voti.

14. to be frank with you. those who lock down there countries they spray chemicals what about Malawi do you have chemicals? or it will same as people should mingle around if people does not even have enough water

15. asiyeni anthu afe nditu mamjudge adzikayika ku manda heheheheheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee a injunction on lock down? my foottttttttttttttttttt

16. Courts in Malawi are on overdrive to finish of DPP through court rulings. DPP should not expect anything to come from the courts. Even HRDC were fronting politicians in their court case because the politicians don’t want to come in the open because they know the negative implications should the pandemic become catastrophic. When things begin to happen when we will be hurrying 50 people per day in a location, HRDC will start pointing fingers at government for failing to protect its people.

17. The government should not show up for this case, they should just keep quite. They can never win any case in the politically charged courts of Malawi where judges are usually inclined to please their egos, practice judicial activism, etc rather than follow the law. Which law has the government broken by declaring a lockdown? Those of us who have understood the dangers of this virus we will do our own lockdown, let those who don’t want to cooperate ignore the lockdown. This is a divided country. Mpukusi lamoyo sasungirana. No one can protect himself/herself from this virus without making personal sacrifices.

    1. the government by announcing the lockdown are preventing people from earning their daily livelihood. The responsibility of feeding the poor and the most vulnerable becomes the governments. The government can’t say don’t earn your livelihood and at the same time we cannot help you.The problem is not with the lockdown as this is the only way to stop the virus spreading but the main issue is government not putting measures to protect the poor and the most vulnerable in our society.

18. Tutu and Tina, if you are one of those stupid and compromised DPP cadets just keep quiet and eat in silence our stolen tax money from your DPP masters. You are operating as DPP Cadets because of you are obviously intellectually incapacitated, you cannot make to the grade of a Judge even with the help of the discriminatory and Lomwelized open policy being practiced by your 80 +President Peter Muthalika.

    The substantive and now politically tricky issue in the HRDC injunction application and Judge Kenyata Nyirenda is that your stupid, always selfish and Lomwelized DPP masters rushed with the lockdown decision without putting in place thorough and well thought critical measures to cater for the economic safety of majority of Malawians in the informal sector. The majority of Malawians in this particular case include even those diehard DPP supporters and poor families at Goliati, Bvumbwe and DPP diehard supporters trading as Vendors in Limbe, Bangwe, Ndirande. Tumbuka judges are proved to be act professionally and ethically unlike the Lomwelized and corrupt justice Chikopa once linked in the corruption of the Concourt judges and the now suspended Zomba Magistrate who released FDH Bank owner,Thom Mpinganjira, @ midnight.

19. Yes Covid 19 is lethal without doubt but the Malawi government did not put anything in place to help out the local people during the lockdown as others have done elsewhere. So it looks like it was done only for political reasons and not public safety. So good job the judge for protecting the masses who would have starved whilst the elite partied in their mansions…

20. Muvi oyan’ganira suchedwa kulowa mmaso. Tidzazindikira bwino patsogolo maliro akusowa oti akayike ndani kumanda

21. These corrupt and incompetent tumbuka judges akhala ndipolekera.

    1. They are there by merit, don’t use your tribal emotions to discredit the judge.The court works with the presented evidence not because some idiot on top there commanded a lock down then we follow blindly.Malawi is nobody’s farm no matter how much you feel entitled to it.

    2. Senseless, proud, heartless. Shame on you and your headless masters

    3. Do not think if you got food in your house then everyone has food in Malawi, that lockdown would have killed Malawians without food,anthuwa ambombo osafunira azanu zabwino, don’t hate the judges hate your poor thinking leaders who does not care about the poor.Just think for once about amalawi omwe ali above 60yrs alibe ndalama, komanso alibe chakudya then akhale 21days ,kumaganiza Atina.Yes convid-19 is deadly but hunger is more deadly and dangerous it can attack every part of your body.Coronavirus will attack lungs but some people are getting healed.Tell your DPP leaders to ask everyone to put mask on.All over the world people are putting masks on their mouth and nose.The government should make sure that all masks are cheaper for every one to buy and enforce that.Visionless leaders.

    4. nkhani si incompetent or corrupt judges koma mukufuna mugwiritse ntchito covid kulepheretsa anthu kuvota,ufulu wa moyo yes ngofunika komaso anthu alu ndi ufulu wokhala ndi mtsogoleri wovomerezeka ndi anthu onse

22. What a Banana Republic? No where in the world has any judge given an injunction on a lockdown.

    1. Because unlike the government, the judges are not copying and pasting decisions from other parts of the world. They have passed judgement based on what’s in the ground in Malawi. Just because other countries haven’t passed that sort of injunction does not mean Malawian judges should not do it.

       1. Our judges have proven to be stupid and incompetent. If corona-virus takes hold, it will good if it can wipe out these Tumbuka judges.

       2. The difference is that Malawi has idiotic Tumbuka judges. Ask Tanzania what they have seen. 53 cases in one day.

       3. Welll said.

    2. Mr Tutu Malawi is not like other countries in the world.Anthu akamati ma leaders asiye ziphuphu ndi Kuyamba kuchepesa umphawi, they just mean that.South Africa is on lockdown but figures are still increasing.Apresident has food and money, Ministers has food and money and you have food and money too but some of our country men and women do not have money and food.why should they go on lockdown without food, mukufuna azifa mwachinsinsi.Grow up man/ woman.Our country is not abanana country but we have banana leaders.

23. Tumbuka judges continuing their destruction of Malawi.

    1. You and your heartless masters are destroying our country.

    2. Stop hating the judges,hate the poor decisions made by DPP leaders.Good leaders think first for the poor then Yu our can decide what to do.People are using masksto cover their mouth and nose to avoid the virus why can’t your leaders ask the citizens to do the same.In fact countries in the world was supposed to ask it’s citizens to use the masks when the virus was discovered in Wuhan Hubei province in China, leaders failed to do that .The first thing is to ask everyone to put mask on.Then check the spread before lockdown is enforced.

24. I wish a Bomawa munangowasiya Atopanga Lockdown yawoyi ndi Anthu Osamva ….Only those working in Government are assured of a job after a lockdown …But if you are in the Private Sector …Expect Massive Job losses …Just look at what is happening in Zimbabwe …And Corvid Cases will Peak after 8 wks of Exposure so if our first case was on 3 April Our Peak is somewhere in the Middle of May ….Ndie munakatowonjezeraso 21 days Ina ….Are massive Tests being carried out ,doctors have PPE etc ….Otherwise we are just wasting Our Time and Destroying our Economies for Nothing …

25. HRDC has done that on behalf of Chilima because he knows if he had fronted himself and people begin to die enamss all fingers will point at him but these men in black have been used because they have a scheme to collect more blood after they failed to do so during the demos. One of their leaders resigned because he would not achieve the blood collection business because the police did not react to his provocation to shoot people so that he collects blood for his underworld scheme

26. I repeat that the so-called Ministerial Committee on Corona Virus is too partisan, comprising DPP. It should have nonpartisan representing a cross section of the Nation. As it is, it’s impossible for some members of the Committee, intelligent as they may be, to challenge fellow members.
    A team comprising experts in medical related fields is the answer. These would be reporting to the responsible Minister.

    STOP PRESS: I believe other non political members of society have been coopted into the Committee.

27. Problem I see is the double standards being played by government. Health workers are threatening to down tools due to lack of PPE and many public health facilities are illequipped for coronavirus disease. To make matters the government went ahead with copy n paste lockdown without considering the masses who live on hand to mouth.

    Very bad policy;!!

28. Covid-19: The Movie

29. Shame on MBC TV being the national TV could not report even show it’s real owners of the TV (Malawi citizens) on it’s news bulletin but God it’s not Mark Botomani they thought that BBC AFRICA won’t show and to shame the DPP run station they showed and people all over the world now knows that the government once again has lost another case . In fact DPP has scored on it’s own net from now I don’t see any person voting DPP and this MBC TV and radio station​s must stop report news for DPP and it’s beam foundation coz next thing we will mobilise youth to match and camp at MBC offices until I DPP captured TV and radio stops reporting biased news

30. Why is this govt making itself vulnerable. Who are the legal advisers? Gone are the days you just do or impose things without following proper channels, consulting and following the constitution. The judge is following the rules of the land.
    Lock down is welcome but the Govt needs to listen. The issue is that this govt is full of lazy people who just wants to be seen in suits but doing nothing but claiming allowances.

    Yo u need to sit down , discuss measures using it brains not coping and pasting.

31. It seems Malawians have decided to sacrifice their precious lives on the altar of politics. If you do not lockdown, be prepared for a deluge of deaths. There must be a lockdown; and there must also be plans to cushion the effects of the lockdown. Here in Nigeria, we have many political parties, some of them very antagonistic of one another. However, with the coming of covid-19, the “political wars” have largely subsided. Everybody is cooperating with the government at various levels to fight the coronavirus war.

    1. is malawi government cooperative on this matter after announcing fake covid 19 cases and you want us to be locked down without any cushion measures towards the majority poor masses, better die with fake covid than real hunger created by the nonsense authorities to achieve their own goals. shut up and forget.

    2. Look at Zimbabwe the lockdown is being eased ….What have they Achieved …? Well Massive Job losses and an Economic Catastrophe ….Have Corona Virus Cases Gone Done ….No …They have increased …Lesson Copy and Paste does not Pay Africa must learn from It’s Experience of Fighting Ebola and Aids ….Unless of course you want to be Perpetual Beggars and Borrowers from the West ….Because after Messing up your Economies IMF and World Bank will Give you Massive Loans ….Which your Leaders will embezzle and your grand children and great grand children will Be Re Paying Forever ….just because you can’t use your Brains …Read BBC article Why Lockdowns may not work in Africa …..

    3. And. Nigeria only Locked 3 Cities Lagos Egun and Abuja….Why …..Economics ….Imagine if they had Locke down the whole country …….Supply Chain

    4. My Brother, Malawi is a poorest country in the Africa if they do this lock down people they will die of hunger not even coronavirus

    5. I watched international tv channels broadcasting that security forces in Nigeria have just joined forces with the coronavirus in adding to the deaths of Nigerian citizens who ventured out to go and buy some necessities during the lockdown. So far 18 people are reported to have been killed by the security forces adding to the already growing number of covid-19 victims. We are living in an unfair and dangerous world!!!

    6. You and I know you can afford a loof of bread think be of those who can’t even afford to eat twice or once a day.Novody is against this copied lockdown but the government should put structures to help the need first before they indose this.People suffer my friend during lockdown in rich countries like SA what more this poor country

32. Kubisala pa chipande.It was already discussed Trapez, Chakwera,Saulosi copying from what the Kenyans did aswell.Be careful jeopardizing people’s lives because of wishing to become presidents .Many Malawians are still ignorant pls. do not misslead them.One day things will turn against you.

    1. Atleast someone should show our presidents that they are not invisible.what we need is Malawi without old thieves komaso kupeleka mpata to fresh blood mwina kuba kwao kutha kukhala kwa nzeru.osati mmene akuchitila mazigogowa

33. Imwe agogo a kenyatta mbuchekulu wuli una imwe wakuchita kusowa nawo mahala? Imwe Covid19 mukuwona ya pa cnn namu yatambuzgila vyaro. Muli wazeleza chomene.

    Is kenyatta the only judge at the high court? Why not assign some of the these cases to judge dr chifundo kachale? This kenyatta is mentally unstable and in conflict with the judicial ethics.

    1. A very selfish and proud individual you are. Where is your humanity? Locking down the poor without providing for them? Shame on you, only thinking of your stomach and welfare. Wake up. God wants us to change, to start thinking and providing for the welfare of the least privileged in society.

    2. My friend a judge doesn’t judge by himself/herself, its a group of them .No judge can make a complete decision by himself. Consultation is done for the final judgement. Thus why some of these mistakes are achieved because one wants to do it by himself without consultation. mwanva baba!?

34. Dipwipwi paulendo…….anthu opusa

35. Whichever way the injunction shall go, Government was right on lockdown. Government was still to be blamed as being insensitive if it had not declared lockdown. As for now, Govt can now rest and wait for any aftermath. If the covid cases scale up, Govt will be vindicated (shame shall go to kenyata, HRDC and opposition). If covid shall scale down, it is due to measures already put in place by Govt. Whichever the way, Govt is absolutely on a comfortable path.

    Me pheee with the caring president APM.

    1. Agogo akowo ali ndi zaka 80, ndipo amakumana ndi anthu ambiri. Ndiye ukuti “Govt can now rest and wait for any aftermath”? Anakuuza kuti Corona idzasankha a opposition okhaokha ndani? Kodi njira yopewera Covid ndi lockdown yokha? Siunamve kuti Prime Minister waku UK anatsala pang’ono kutsanzika chifukwa cha Corona? A DPP atsate njira zina zovemerezeka monga increased testing, contact tracing, good hygiene ndi social distancing. Osati kaka pa njira yoti ipha anthu ndi njala Covid ili kutalitali…

    2. A very selfish and proud individual you are. Where is your humanity? Locking down the poor without providing for them? Shame on you, only thinking of your stomach and welfare. Wake up. God wants us to change, to start thinking and providing for the welfare of the least privileged in society.

36. We have reached a point of ” Every day a fools’ day” in Malawi

    1. We are so pathetic and politics has eaten the whole nation as a canker worm. Let’s not regard these so called rights guys as heroes. They are serving their own masters. It’s a total shame

37. How can a President be so out of touch with his own people. You mean you order people to stay in their homes without thinking how the majority who are poor will survive? What will they eat? Where will they get the money? etc….

    Useless and empty leadership.

    1. It’s possible to be protected from both or either die of hunger for 21days in the house or infected outside their big up Kenyatta until DPP government has resolved these issues have received billions of kwachas in the name of corona can’t only go in their pockets 😒😡

38. This court injunction hearing is it one of the reasons why people must go out of the lockdown if not am afraid judge Kenyatta should not have been in session by the way do we have a chief justice in this country? It seems it’s free for all at the judiciary no regulations on conduct everyone singing his own songs of justice

    1. I can see more and more of those tested positive becoming negative and less and less new cases .The net result is that we won’t have any more cases .ie If 2 of the 17 died …we have 15 cases and then 3 are negative today , we have 12 cases . I can see half of the 12 becoming negative in the next 7 days and no significant number of new cases

       1. So you want them to die??

    2. Inu osamakhala mbuli. Ku judiciary kumakhala judge on call just like there is a doctor on call at hospitals. Kenyatta was the judge on call this week……..mind you, dpp is very stupid. No judge in his or her right mind would back dpp government…….akupanga zopusa kwambili. They are abusing powers. Atleast ka parliamentary committee kakanakhala involved pena pake. Human rights is a big thing in out constitution.

39. This is playing with people’s lives. This reminds me how people hated Jesus Christ, the son of God who came to save their lives and released Barnabas, a criminal who wanted to kill them. Government is putting measures to save Malawi from the deadly disease; APM wants you to be alive and in good health, yet you are clapping hands for HRDC that wants you to suffer Covid-19 and die. I cry for my own country Malawi.

    1. For how long can a human being be alive and in good health while suffering from starvation?

    2. I hope your not comparing Pitala with Jesus because the comparison is just misplaced. Secondly, remember that while the HRDC were obtaining the injunction, the people who were most affected by this lockdown were protesting against without even being organised by anyone. The decision, without measures to mitigate for loss of earnings by majority of Malawians, was unpopular, period. And it does not help when it is so transparent that government is using Covid outbreak to achieve political aims such as running away from the rerun vote, etc. This is why they are even faking some cases. You can’t lock down a country with a figure of 12 that is not even rising exponentially.

    3. We are masters of our own destiny. What if we have to decided to die???? Inuyo chabwino khalani whats the issue? Mudye nokha ndalama mwatenga ku azungu in our name. Idiots.

40. Yes!! Let the dying begin

    1. You mean and India lady from BT and the Burundian who came from Canada to visit his family in Malawi?

       1. Junior citizen. Open your eyes and be sincere. Politics aside Malawians will perish. It’s happening everywhere and soon it will consume us. Other countries have prayed and people are dying. Watch carefully we are in line and it’s a matter of time. Some ignorant people believe it’s afraid of the heat. Look at Equador. Burkina Faso.

41. The government is playing games with people’s lives in this issue. How did the Lilongwe people test negative again?

42. When other countries open their borders, we will be shunned and denied entry making our economic recovery even worse. Meanwhile, our elderly will be gone. Some of our younger ones will be gone too. This confusion has to end at some point.

43. Like I said Mr president you have tried your best.Let these people die and they will understand why you were trying to do. That you were doing all this to save their lives. For once let HRDC and Mcp win, and take responsibility for what is obviously coming.

    One way or the other Corona won’t spare this land, it’s coming, it’s already here we just don’t know it yet. To date, Malawi has only tested less than 300 people and found 18. Let it be Mr Presidential. Mwana akalilira nyanga ya mtsatsi msemele…

    1. The point here is not about lock down. Eventually we will have to have a lock down but you can’t have a lockdown without any measures to protect the poor and those who earn their living on a day to day basis. It’s no rocket science. Have a lockdown at the same time put in measures to protect the poor and the vulnerable in our society.

    2. Afa akwanu iwe umati akatitsekele manyumba opanda kutiuza Kuti ma billion apasidwawa ifenso tipezako polilila isaaa, tinali ndi njala 2019-2020 kusowa mitengo ogwila chimanga chitanunkha mitengo pitala Amali nuuuuh lelo wadya Bansi kufinya mphuno Kuti miyandamiyanda iolelele manyumba. Tilibe vuto ndikukhala mnyumba know funso tikhala bwanji ndi njala? Anatiuza Kuti government has well arranged and prepared for the pandemic was is this proofing so? You got to reasoning

       1. Aliyense amafa,wokufa sadziwika.Kumayankhula bwino.

44. This Judge is seriously interfere the body of executive. Even we can consider this is serious violation of the Malawi Constitution. and We believe this Judiciary system already is politicized. These people pretend they know democracy, but they totally ignorant of THREE ARMS. We are on the way to graveyard!

45. This is JUDICIAL ACTIVISM! The Honorable Judge must know better. This CoronaV is no joking matter. Many people who have joked around with it in other parts of the world have come to regret. A wiser decision should have been for the Honorable gentleman to validate the lockdown and require the defendant (he why is the government a defendant anyway) to come up with a plan to help the poor. If there is fire, shall we not allow the firefighters to fight it right away rather that say, “well, wait until you present a plan that insures that those who will be save from the fire will have shoes to ware or mais to eat before you start fighting the fire” !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Perhaps the constitution should have required the judges to be elected so as to legalize their activism. The Corona V is nasty and may God help us

46. I can foresee that Kenyatta and his Tumbuka Judges will live to regret very soon. Mark my words.

    1. What’s wrong in government having measures to protect the poor when having a lockdown.if they can afford to hire 500 million for Sa lawyers with taxpayers money I’m sure the taxpayers wouldn’t mind if their money was used to protect the poor during lockdown

    2. Inu osamakhala a chimidzi. Its not about being tumbuka. No. He went to school..inu munali kuti? Nsanje basi. I am.a business person from Thunga in Thyolo but i cant back zopusa za dpp zi……i have been a dpp fan but i stopped.

47. Koma judge Kenyatta musadzafe…..akusungeni mulungu…kwa nthawi yayitali.

    Nkhani Yakutia apa ndiyazisankho zinazi angonamizilapo agogowa…..akapume atikwana.

48. Well done for testing those who were positive again so that we know they are negative and do not have corona-virus anymore so that people are assured that they can’t infect them once they go back home.

49. Is anything left of this sinking government? No dignity. Reminds me of Bakili Muluzis jokes about other parties saying and I quote, ‘chipani kutha ngati makatani’

50. The president and his government should know that all these are because of his lack of acting on recommendations centring on 2019 rubbish election. All they do is to try to be fooled that people will be cheated in the process and go away with what they want. Sit down consult wise people outside your circle of greedy advisors. Corona is real but it is mixed with politics hence all these confusions. See now some have wasted money buying things unbudgeted for. Will these people have a positive response to this scenario. Ena tinachita ngongole. I don’t know what to say.

51. Yayayayaya Malawi kukoma. Mukunva bwanji mthupimo agogo? Kulibe kuthawa zisankho, kupakira basi.

    1. Koma amalawi kwathu kono nkovutika sitingathe kukhara mnyumba kwamasiku 21 kopanda kugulitsa,wina aliyense alimtawuni.amakhalila mubizinezi,big up mrkenyathwa

52. All our immediate neighbours, Mozambique, Tanzania and Zambia, with higher COVID numbers than us have not implemented a punitive lockdown. They are following good hygiene and social distancing – which makes a lot of sense for our economies. There could be two reasons why the DPP is doing this (a) looking at a lockdown as a shortcut to dealing with the disease so that they don’t have to buy testing kits, PPEs and medicines (b) a ploy to stifle political activity in view of the expected polls. Just last week APM was the voice of reason, saying that we were in a unique position and that we could not use a template from other countries. A few days later he made a U-turn, and started citing “templates” from Italy, USA, RSA, and Uganda. What changed in those few days??????

53. if 17 people have been tested positive and 2 died with 3 recoveries who came out negative it means Malawi has 12 cases of COVID 19. IN SUMMARY. chiwerengero cHamatendawa chasika no need of rockdown

    1. Oh yeah 😏😏 it’s just an Indian lady from BT and Burundian who died a day after his arrival in Malawi from Canada. We’re not saying no to lockdown if necessary but with cautions. Give us packages of food and gloceries😊😊 will survive and stay indoors no food no lockdown infact we’re harvesting our crops sorry

54. You don’t impose a lockdown in a country where the majority of the population is poor without cushioning measures for the most vulnerable.
    So far no statistical data i.e. Covid 19 local transmission rate which must be monitored and decisions made based on such statistical data has been established. Tests have not been intensified, and worse still use of social distance measures have not been exhausted and proved futile. The president here is not on top of things, he leaves the issue to some minister… A man who cannot take up his responsibility

    1. Well-said!! They’ll enjoy tea and coffee and sunbath at the Palace while the poor suffer. Let them come out clearly on how the poor will be cushioned economically.

    2. where again are the test centers in this country?????
       mma mizizimu??
       mmisikamu!!
       ngati tili nao nde si country exercise ngati mmidzimu mulibe.
       than kugawa njinga mmizi inayi. cilipo,ufiti????
       this time kugawa njing osacita donate ndalamazo zigule cakudya ca anthuo.
       ndalama zokuba yudasi anazitaya pajatu .think twice mwana otumidwa iwe tupele . idiot

    3. Totally in agreement with you. You couldn’t have put it better.

55. Names of people sick and location.

    1. You don’t need names.

56. Well done HRDC this government must learn to listen. Autocratic rule should be history in Malawi by now. Once this govt. is out of power individuals should be taken to task for mismanagement and plunder. Impunity and Arrogance should be stopped forthwith!!!!!

    1. I am happy that this has happened when Mtambo has left HRDC, some people thought HRDC was Mtambo.

57. Ok Chakwera will pray for us once covid 19 wavuta

    1. Usandiseketse ine which chakwera are u talking about? Yona wothawa utumiki kudzodza kunatha kalekaaaaaale kkkkkkkk.

       1. Kuseka kwa manyazi sikumasowa, @ Chataika. You have now become the Terrorist! You wanted to kill Malawians just because you don’t want Election.
          Pakamwa pobwafukapo!
          Full scale baba we are smashing you!

58. Kkkkk koma yaaa and I quote ” 3 people who were tested positive in Lilongwe have now being tested positive ” end of quote .

    Is this government serious with this Coviid 19 or playing games and some jokes due to fresh Election ordered by the Concourt ??

    I think some seriousness is lacking here, involve some Medical Doctors , NGO’s , Business people , Opposition Parties , PAC , Vendors Representative and Government officials in this panel of Coviid 19 otherwise things won’t work out for DPP administration till you all perish .

    Don’t politicise Coviid 19 as if DPP own this Virus.

    1. Test positive in Lilongwe now tested Negative, it’s what I mean . Type error

       1. Don’t show ignorance. People who test positive of corona-virus are tested again to give them all clear to go back into community so that they don’t infect others.

       2. It means they have been cured. British PM tested negative after testing positive for corona-virus

       3. Coz he’s now better you idiot

       4. Achira

       5. We know it was typing error dude! Worry not.

59. I hope the Mangochi, Zomba and Blantyre vendors who were demonstrating will for now forget that Kenyatta is a Mtumbuka they love to insult

    1. Mtumbuka in our eyes ndi Mtumbuka basi. Sadzakhala mchewa, myao or mang’anja. Copy?

    2. Point of order 😂😂🤗🤗🤗

60. well

61. NYEKHEEE!! DAILY!!

62. it is very dangerous when we have a judiciary system in Malawi which dances with the oposition . this virus is not a joke

    1. Sure its not a joke. That’s why you emphasize measures to stop the spread. Social distance, covering mouth and nose with a mask while out in public, washing hands often, use of hand sanitizers where available, seek medical help when you have a fever, stay home when you are sick with flu like symptoms.

    2. so you mean its not dangerous when the DPP dances with MEC??????

    3. Laws have to be followed.

       1. For real

    4. Don’t politicize the matter. Think about the poor who survive on vending for their daily bread. We are not refusing the lock down,all we are asking for is the government to put measures in place for the poor who can not afford to buy food in bulk. They survive on hand to mouth,how do they pay rentals

    5. Government should come up with solutions first before lock down

    6. Indeed. The virus is not a joke – and neither is hunger. The cure should NEVER be worse than the disease itself. In Nigeria 12 people have died from Covid, while the police have killed 18 in enforcing lockdown.

       If you were a recent arrival in Malawi you would think that this DPP regime really cares about its citizens. That is, until you visited any of our public hospitals. Then you would immediately realise that the lockdown is not being made for the stated reasons. If 100 people are infected with Covid, 20 will fall sick and out of these 20 one or two may die. Covid is serious, but please let us not overhype its danger…poverty is much more serious than Covid

    7. Pepani anamalila nonse olemela or atati lockdown ya chakachonse mulimba simufa ndi njala komanso covid 19

63. Kenyatta once more protecting APM and DPP from collapsing. Let the police and army open fire on innocent protesters and see how long APM government will last. Why protect APM and later he accuses and insults you? Let him this time around go down with his poor thinking.

    While I am busy preparing his ICC warrant of arrest, you are busy protecting him. Give me a chance to take him to Hague for true retirement.

    1. Who appoint him as a high court judge? he is not qualified as a judge.

       1. Me 🤗🤗🔥✅

    2. the problem in malawi the judges are on 2 separate organizations others are for opposition and others are for government so things will never get right in malawi the same hrdc were saying that government is not doing anything about COVID-19 now the government acted to lock down they are against it so I don’t know what is good for hrdc politicizing everything. but the truth is malawi is not suitable for lock down but if it was like the government said that the is no lock down the hrdc was going to against kkkkkkk malawi poor minds and poor country

       1. No lockdown for Malawi, Malawi is too young for lockdown please think twice before doing something

       2. Senseless
