DPP accuses SKC of ‘stealing’ cabinet meeting resolutions for UTM

September 11, 2018 Owen Khamula - Nyasa Times 42 Comments

Ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) is accusing vice president Saulos Chilima of “stealing” cabinet meetings resolutions which they say he is allegedly using to market and sell his United Transformation Movement (UTM).

Dausi: It is illogical

However, UTM officials have trashed this as senseless.

DPP spokesperson, who is also government spokesperson Nicholas Dausi says Chilima has “stolen” most of the cabinet meeting resolutions and wants to use them in UTM manifesto.

“He sat in cabinet meetings as the vice president and for him to steal ideas discussed in cabinet meetings is illegal and illogical,” said Dausi.

Dausi, however, could not say what the government and the DPP could do to stop the UTM from implementing the so called stolen ideas.

However, UTM spokesperson Joseph Chidanti Malunga laughed off the matter, saying the movement has a team of technical experts who are formulating their  manifesto.

He said the DPP has nothing to offer to Malawians as it has even failed to fulfill its 2014 manifesto.

Chidanti Malunga said the UTM is doing things differently,  therefore , could not copy and paste what the DPP has formulated, saying this could be a recipe for disaster for the movement.

Political commentator Rafiq Hajat said the DPP has the history of rolling out its policies and programs, saying it could not be surprising if other political parties hijacked its ideas.

However, he wondered if Chilima would copy the ideas of the DPP.

  3. DPP has no credible counter-strategy against UTM other than accusing it of benig unrealistic or stealing ideas. In fact as we speak, Rwanda has “borrowed” most of the concepts DPP had come up with and implemented them ruthlessly. Look at Rwanda now. We asn’t fault DPP for not formulating great ideas and manifesto; the challenge is in its implementation. DPP unfortunately has the best brains but these individuals are just that……strategists. They are very bad at execution; these people live in their heads. UTM seems to have a few implementers much to their advantage. Professors and those who worked for IMF aren’t great at implementation but are good are formulating policies which may not be practical for countries like Malawi. In any case Honourable Dausi, DPP ideas are neither original nor copyrighted.

  5. lol What ideas again Blue day? or buy the youth beer as a distraction, or insult catholics and burn opposition properties? cause those are ultimate resolution in Dpp!! Malawians are far more aware now,, its going to be mature politics from 2019 onwards!! Welcome to the 21st century buddy enjoy while u can cause ur sitting on a time boom!!

  6. Dausi is a conman and a political shenanigan. Even people at his constituency does not like him because they did not vote for him. Dausi if your head is empty just be quite and keeping misleading agogo and pumbwa idiots

  8. I do not see anyone objectively contributing in cabinet meetings without thinking of next elections. So whatever the case his ideas are not from your meetings. Your ideas Mr Dausi would be more like “Titeni sukulu ikhale yaulere kuti ativotere”….”timange stadium ativiotere”….”tiapatse ndalama ativotere”…..saddling tax payers with ur BS ideas so u can earn more.

  9. This Malawi Young Pioneer cadet is clueless. Could please mention ideas which SKC and his movement has stolen from cabinet resolutions. Why can’t you just start selling the ideas to the voters. Why can’t you report him to Police for theft kkkkkkkkkkkkk. Ukayombe unakupwetekani bambo Dausi.

  12. DPP has no idea mesa mumati Chilima akulonjeza mwezi kwa a Malawi pano mukuti waba mfundo zanu, koma ndiye mukumvadi kuwawatu. Anyamata anunso akungokalanya kumabwebweta zogawa fuko la Malawi poyang’ana zipembezo. Vomerezani kuti zanu zada, ngati Chilima satenga mpandowu ndiye kuti Chakwera akutenga basi. Kunena zoona anthu amene atsala ku DPP palibe angakhale ndi mfundo ngati za Chilima. Four years mumatani, osapanga chitukuko china chimangoponda chimanga.

  14. Mr Dausi, which ideas? 1 million jobs , building railways, reducing the convoy of the president..,please tell us?-
    Oh Yes, he have stolen promises from your 2014 DPP party manifesto, you forgot to implement, like: Reducing the power of the president! But in cabinet we all know the view to this idea is the opposite?!-
    Mr Dausi , you made a lot of words, not only in this press statement, with no point! This is why you and your government got attributed with the
    word “clueless ” during the last four and a half years by so many commentators across the political spectrum!

  15. Dausi did not say everything Chilima is saying. But some ideas can be what was being discussed. Remember this started as Chilima shud represent DPP in 2019. So if he had been allowed to be torch bearer of DPP these wud have been what he was saying. Other things akuwonjezera as he goes along. Anaberapo ma vote limodzi so kubera mfundo si nkhani.

  16. A Dausi tazikambaniko za nzeru. You mean if this is true you cannot formulate other ideas? Sometimes other things are not supposed to be said. Mukupanga zopangitsa manyazi tu

    1. @wanudu
      Which Ideas for God sake nanunso ? The same ideas that have failed us. Corruption levels the worst ever, poverty levels the worst ever. Violence the worst ever , plundering the worst ever, education standards the worst ever. Inu musatiphyese mtima apa ndi nkhani zopusa ngati izi. No sane person will have anything to do with your ways of dong things. DPP is too archaic and incompetent thus copying the so called their policies surely that would a calamity to this country.

      1. If the “stolen ideas” in those cabinet meetings were Chilima’s original ideas I see no problems. Mmayesa paja mwagawana zida. Ndiye mumuletse Chilima kukodola guitar yake?

    2. @ Wandu
      Shame on you. Who has the ability to brainstorm ideas in DPP. Nankhumwa has failed to deliver (in all his recent rallies) messages that can capture the hearts of ordinary Malawians. I though he was going to stand up and stand out on behalf of DPP – koma akuti akuyembekeza a Pitala Mutharika kuti apange nfundo…what the hell was that. And the you tell us that Chilima has stolen ideas from DPP. A Pitala samatha ndikulankhula -komwe – inu nkumanyadira kuti til ndi president….Kagwele uko @ Wandu

  19. Inu nomwe mukuti Chilima akunama kwinaku mukuti wakuberani ma plan. Ife timve ziti? Neba mutu suukugwiratu!

  20. Mr. Dausi, these were SKC’s ideas adopted during cabinet meetings. Think carefully for a while. Who in cabinet, apart from SKC, has ideas?

  21. EMPTY AND QUOTA SYSTEM
    BRAIN LEADERS CAN EASILY BE IDENTIFIED /VINDICATED BY AND FROM
    THEIR TALKS AT PRIVATE OR PUBLIC MEETINGS —

  22. Maganizo a anthu wokalamba ndichoncho, kapumeni a Pitala ndi Dausi musatitopese komanso musiye kuganiza kuti a Malawi tonse timaganiza mopelewela ngati a Mfumu Ngolongoliwa anuwo mwanza?????????????????????

  23. Rafiq Hajat plz don’t show side when commenting on political views like Brian Banda. Why wld u say u wonder Chilima copying ideas of DPP yet he has bn DPP up until his UTM

    1. @shaft
      Surely no sane person or political organisation would copy archaic , childish , ordinary and outdated DPP policies. DPP policies have failed this country therefore it would be stupid and naive for any party to follow the path taken by failures

      1. DPP has delivered dear brother unless if you can tell me has failed to give you hand outs. It is very pity for me to you saying such imature statement like that . We have nkhatabay district hospital and road phalombe district hospital the construction is underway now road network telecentres. Just to mention a few. Are you sure all these are not things you can not appreciate? Shame on you

        1. @Chris
          Do you really have a full comprehension of what development means as a concept and phenomenon?. Understanding or defining development in terms of a road here and a clinic there is atrocious to development both as a concept, field of study and as a phenomenon. This minute understanding and definition of development that you and your president hold qualifies you to be described as ordinary and very basic people. I will certainly not bring down myself to a level where I can engage you on development in its scope as a concept and phenomenon because you have a very basic and constrained understanding of what development entails and what it is all about. But one thing for sure is that defining development in terms of a road in Nkhata and another road on likoma island and a clinic in Thyolo certainly that is being too simplistic about what development mean buddy.

          1. @Mchacha the Terrorist
            You pretend to know more about development but, your are a disgrace an empty tin that just makes a lot of noise. What do you mean by development phenomenon? What do you mean by development concept?
            Dictionary meaning of the word development is “an event constituting a new stage in a changing situation.” Therefore as a concept as you put it, the term development has many dimensions:

            1. Social development – Culture, tourism (Hotels, beaches, parks etc) community, rural, etc.
            2. Infrastructure – Transport (Roads, automobiles:buses, trains, planes, ships etc), buildings (skyscrapers, towers, communication (media, internet etc.)
            3. Human development – Biological, physical and mental aspects of a human being
            4. Economic – business, trade, entrepreneurship, policies, markets, banks, job creation etc.
            5. Public service delivery – Health, education, security, agriculture, etc.
            6. and many more other dimensions.

            So when you say Peter and his DPP have achieved nothing please think of how things were in 2014 when DPP took over from Joyce and her PP and compare to how things are today.

            And there is sense in what Dausi is saying about Chilima. Remember Chilima was in DPP camp until the last two months. He was attending high-level meetings including cabinet meetings. It might not be every thing but to some extent. What new things has Chilima said apart from saying he would disclose the names of corrupt people in DPP administration.

            This boy is just power hungry and he is abusing our resources. Why can’t he resign?
            The good thing is that he will not win the elections.

        3. @chris mbewe
          shame on you chris…thinking like a headless chicken. What planet are you from? What has DDP delivered. Nkhata Bay hospital has no drugs, no fuel in ambulances just to mention a few…what are you talking about you DPP thief plundering our resources – stealing 4 billion ltrs genset fuel – vision-less DDP. Ngati umaba nawo…muwonanso 2019 waku Maula prison….muzidyeratu ndalamazo. Even a child can tell you that DPP has failed Malawians.

        4. So if you claim that DPP has developed Malawi just because of Nkhatabay district hospital and phalombe district hospital. Are you able to count what MCP did when it was in power? Kamuzu international airport, Kamuzu central hospital, captial hill etc? Do you appreciate these things.

        5. Nkhatabay hospitals construction predates APM. What do you mean he has delivered? Name an aspect of pples life that they have tangibly improved. The likes of chris mbewe are Y this state retrogresses by the day. You hv either directly benefited by blindly supporting past regimes or hv sold your soul for a few coins.

  24. At first you were saying Chilima is making unrealistic promises. Now he is stealing our ideas. Do you mean that the unrealistic promises you said he is making are your ideas?

    DPP please if you have no strategy of dealing with the Chilima issue then just don’t do nothing. Otherwise mukungozichititsa manyazi anthu akulu akulu inu. Chonde yesesani kuti muzisungile ulemu.

  25. Mr Dausi, You seem to be intoxicated with power which was erroneously entrusted in you! As DPP, have you fulfilled your 2014 manifesto? Are you sure in the so called ministerial meeting resolutions you came up with a mtrain
