DPP accuses MCP of  ‘new wave of terror’

March 30, 2020 Wanga Gwede - Nyasa Times 60 Comments

The governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has accused the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) of launching a new wave of terror  in Central Region attacking villagers looking to benefit from Malawi Enterprises Development Fund Limited (Medf) loans, and targeting DPP leaders in Dedza and Lilongwe districts.

DPP’s Jeffrey:  We strongly warn and caution the MCP. Enough is enough

President Peter Mutharika recently launched  a loan programme under Medf  to target underprivileged women and youths across the country and have been categorized into two main groups for those without capital and those who want to grow their enterprises.

Medf, which evolved from Mardef, was formed by an Act of Parliament in February 2014 as the only microfinance limited company owned by the government.

But  DPP Secretary General Griezeldar Jeffery on Sunday  accused MCP leadership of  criminal behaviour where people in Central Region are experiencing untold suffering and macabre attacks.

According to Jeffrey, recent attacks and terror activities are targeting DPP leaders in various villages and the party has received reports that ruling party  supporters are living in fear and some have abandoned their homes, have fled their villages, and are currently in hiding.

She added that the party has also been told that groups of people that were holding meetings over Medf loans were attacked and dispersed by “the MCP and its hooligans”.

Jeffrey said the people who were attacked while discussing Medf loans are innocent women, youths and men who were in search for economic empowerment to improve their lives and alleviate their poverty through the loans.

“Some of these people who are attacked are not even DPP supporters. They are mere villagers since the MEDF loans are benefiting all deserving Malawians without regard to political affiliation. Unfortunately, MCP has in its usual style of using violence and terror, disturbed the economic prospects and has dashed the hopes for these innocent Malawians,” she said.

Jeffrey said  DPP  has reported to police about the attacks and  to bring to book all the perpetrators of the violence.

“We wish to strongly warn and caution the MCP. Enough is enough,” said outspoken DPP secretary general who is also a deputy minister in President Mutharika’s cabinet.

Jeffrey warned MCP that it will not succeed in its  plans to cause chaos.

“We will hold you accountable and we will use all constitutionally acceptable means to block your evil plans. As the DPP, we will defend the Constitution. Violence and terror will never defeat democracy and development; darkness will never conquer light,” she said.

MCP deputy spokesman Ezekiel Chin’goma said he could not  dignify “political propanganda”  with his comment.

  1. No madam. Don’t confuse people. You know what you are doing. Be transparent if it is about loans. And don’t make it a Dpp thing. Separate government activities from party. Please you will one day be out of government. How do you want those that will be in government treat you. Please DPP myopic people Stop fooling people around. Malawi is a peaceful country. Stop old fashioned politics. This is 2020 and not 1993.

  2. BY DEEDS AND ACTIONS, REVERAND CHAKWERA IS GOD FEARING LEADER, HE GOES TO CHURCH UNLIKE THE WHISKY TAKING PETER MUTHALIKA.

    IT IS DPP WHICH IS KNOWN FOR VIOLENCE, BUTCHERING INNOCENT NJAUJU AND CHASOWA. MEDF LOANS ARE OUR TAX MONEY NOT DPP MONEY SO DPP MUST STOP POLITICING THE LOANS. DON’T EVER EXPECT PEOPLE IN THE VILLAGES TO REMAIN PHWIII WITH THE DPP’S STUPID, ROTTEN AND BACKWARD DISCRIMINATORY POLICIES . GIVE MCP SOME RESPECT, GRESEDER GEFREY, MCP ALREADY DEALT WITH YOU AT CONSTITUENCY LEVEL

  4. Chakwera believes that he can get power through using violence. He will be taught a big lesson soon rather than later.

  5. MCP has been destroying people’s businesses and property for a long time now. We need to condemn the party for these evil acts.

  6. MCP likes terrorising people that is why they are continuing to terrorise people who are trying to access government services. It is now up to these people to see MCP for what it is. A party which enjoys spilling blood and one that is being led by a thug (Chakwera)

  10. Ine ndi wa DPP ndimakhala ku Central, living a very comfortable life. Ndiri ndi Ana anga all is well. Politics aside. I have not seen akunena anzanga a DPP. Izi ndizimene zitipangise kuti tiluze, osanyoza zipani zina akapena kupeka mabodza.

  12. MEDF loans are Government resources. For this reason, we do not need a political party spokesperson to make statements on this matter. Let the spokesperson for the ministry/ institution responsible make a statement. Tiyeni tisiyanitse pakati pa nkhani za chipani ndi boma.

  14. Those are DPP sympathizers trying to reduce votes from central region and northern region. Zanu izo akutulukirani

  17. Who in this country has been terrorising people? It is MCP. The party has destroyed our businesses and property.

  18. It took some of us the sight of Nsundwe to realise MCP is still violent and a killer. Chakwera has blood on his hands.

  19. MCP has been killing albinos to discredit the DPP government. We saw Nsundwe Boys kill a policeman.

  20. MCP is a party that enjoys violence and killing. We have all seen the violence the party has unleashed on us since last year. Those who were not there during the killing of Aaron Gadama, Dick Matenje, Twaibu Sangala etc have seen for themselves.

  22. LCP LCP LCP again and again, moto village, orton chirwa, atati mphakati, aron gadama et al, dunduzu chisiza, imedi the list continues what can stop you to do this to these innocent fellow chewas, fellow nyau neighbor, tobacco farmer, at malembo, famous hooliganic msundwe. mumaganiza kuti mulandu ukupasani boma. this is the beginning of the ending of lcp. a nzanu akupani pa clamp.

  23. Congress imadziwika bwino ndi Nkhanza ndipo Nkhanza ndipo singakhale popanda Nkhanza. Does MCP really know that Malawians voted for democracy? If people are living fearfully with MCP while in opposition, how fearful will they be in an unlikely scenario of MCP being in power? MCP sidzalamuliranso Malawi ngakhale zitavuta bwanji

  24. I personally come from the same area with APM BUT truth has to be said this Mulhako government has reached a point thatI dont know what to say. If a Head of State syrrounds himself with the likes of Mchacha, Ben Phiri what good csn you expect. Lord help our beloved coubtry to eliminate whatever is deemed to be a problem.

  25. KKKKKKKK MEDF has refuted this Mrs Gredezeder nfiti yayikazi. MEDF IS NOT ISSUEING LOANS AND IS NOT RETRIEVING THE IDs FROM MALAWIANS IN CENTRAL AND NORTH KOREA WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THE IDs MRS MFITI YAYIKAZI SHAME ON YOU. DPP MAPULANI ONSE ATHA APACK AND GO YOUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED.

  28. DPP should shut up. In a democracy the highest level of violence which can be committed is to rig elections. As old as Peter Muthraika is, he should be ashamed of denying Malawians a government of their choice by organising and overseeing the rigging of an election. MCP has reformed itself from the one party days to the most democratic, open and transparent political party in Malawi. Accuisations of MCP committing are the cry by DPP a party that was born out of betrayal to UDF and which is sustained by corruption, nepotism, tribalism, regionalism, a party that has an assured income from Mutharika’s corrupt deals with Amenyes.

  30. This is a criminal act. NOT political. Let the Police do their job and apprehend the wrong doers. The other party has not been given an opportunity to be heard. This is poor journalism!

    1. Please remind the police to apprehend this mfiti yayikazi too for publicly informing Malawians that she is set to kill HRDC members!! Just as they did with the Ntchisi boy who was apprehended for saying he will send njuchi to state house to attack peter!!

  32. Me dont like muluzi bakili because he is the same guy who brought in bingu team to come home after being sucked in Lusaka. Cimunthu chobaso ndalama KI.7b Court mkumarepherana nacho.

  33. mcp sidzasintha kodi ngati inawotcha the whole village wa a moto ku mangochi what can stop them fm doing the same

    1. Typical comment from an illiterate cadet or one who still lives in a period before 1993 when democracy was ushered in.

      For your information, the story being told here can easily be associated with Dausi and Ntaba, who left MCP to train DPP in the art of thugery. MCP is clean now.

      2. These DPP are fools, they are trying to take people’s Houses IDs that’s y the same communities are firing back.zawavuta aware.

  36. Are there any trail of thought, wisdom, and integrity leadership left in dpp? Why making noise and unfounded accusations instead of just arresting those criminals whether mcp or mere criminal elements? This MEDF loan scheme is just a political sympathy buying tool, how can you borrow money to people who doesn’t have any business plans? The government should have created a condusive enviroment for businesses to thrive (by using the small exisiting businesses as samples) before disembarking on borrowing money to people who don’t know what to do with it. The economy is not creating jobs hence no buying power on the market, as a result there’s going be more sellers and traders with minimum buyers. Many exisiting businesses with strong foundations and capital are failing due to factors that government is failing to adress such as prolonged electricity blackouts, high taxes, high interests and other charges that small to medium businesses can not withhold. Then what chances will this swam of small inexperienced businesses have to survive and grow? Or they will be doing business with government because it’s what many so -called successful businesses are doing? To me it’s money down the drain, let’s wait and see.

  37. The DPP story is so hollow that anyone can see from miles away the lies therein. Wa Jeffrey cannot even tell us which villages were being attacked. In any case why should DPP, and not government, be involved in issues regarding dispensing MEDEF Loans?

    The truth is that DPP officials are harrassing villagers by forcing them to surrender ID Cards in older to have their applications processed. People in the area, not necessarily MCP supporters, are not amused. This is the official story. as broadcast by the media.

    Everyone knows DPP is now very disorganized and are so desperate to the extent they will use anything to divert attention; what more with the solid MCP/UTM Alliance which is sending shivers down the party’s spine.

    If anyone is bent on causing trouble it’s DPP itself which is well known for thugery through it’s so-called cadets. I would not be surprised if WA Jeffrey deliberately sends hoodlums to cause trouble whenever an occasion presents itself.

    1. one of the guys who was attacked was on mbc tv and also munthali the sg for mcp has admitted that their party followers are chasing these ppo on assumption that they are snatching ids fm the ppo. however noone can take an id to rig elections its impossible

      1. Achimwene we ordinary people are so tired with Dpp and please concentrate on what you now. Why can you not have your own radio station than using mbc. Do you really know that it uses our own money iwe mbuli chaika which is not your real name. Stop this nonsense and do you know that your Kotakota girl Sanapite ku school hence dpp is now her core business.

    2. By the way, why doesn’t DPP report to police if they have a genuine complaint? Know what? Because they thrive on lawlessness.

  38. Can i ask this wizard Jeffrey??? Who has been in the forefront killing Albinos in Malawi? is it not the same DPP? Who killed Njaunju and Chasowa? Is it not the same DPP? Who killed 20 proteseters in Mzuzu When Bingu was alive? Is it not the same DPP? Who is in forefront sucking blood in Northern Region of Malawi? Is it not the same DPP? Who is busy buying IDs from poor people to prevent them for voting opposition? not same DPP?

  40. This name Griezeldar Jeffery,Malawian name???I believe the parents for this lady are whites from Europe.Please who know her well help

  42. If MCP had the audacity of stoning the whole presidential convoy without the police doing anything. What then would prevent mere DPP supporter from having his house burnt?

  43. Arthur Peter Mutharika, DPP/UDF your ill intent is so so transparent and obvious. Malawian’s are fully aware of you desperate moves. Its time up for you all DPP/UDF. Jail time!

  44. Paja mayi mumadziphopa kuti ndinu biggy pa nkhani za ufiti, so why should we believe you? ha ha ha ha ha bwerani ndi ina, mwina mutiwuze kuti mumatha kuwuruka from Malawi to America kukafika within seconds ndiye tikhulupilira!

  45. Kikkkkkk koma anthu a DPP mukuona ngati sitikudziwa kuti you want people from Central Region not to benefit from this loan? You are creating this ma bodza kunamizila MCP, hahahahahahahah! Kodi manyazi samakhalapo mukamanama? I almost forgot that this is the type of leadership we have in this Country, kukonda kupaka matope azawo. Zamanyazi! Malawi for Change!!!!
