DPP claims of politically-motivated arrest classified as ‘blatant insult’ to Malawians

The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) letter to President Lazarus Chakwera complaining about recent arrests of its officials as  “politically-motivated and a form of vindictive “ has been classified as a “blatant insult” to Malawians.

DPP top brass Borwn Mpinganjira (left), Wa Jeffrey and other members claim arrests are sheer vengeance 

The letter which Nyasa Times reported  on July 15  that it was signed and delivered by DPP secretary general Grezelder Jeffrey,  follows arrests, on various charges of, among others, former president and DPP leader Peter Mutharika’s head of security Norman Chisale, DPP regional governor (Centre) David Kambalame, DPP councillor for Blantyre Bangwe Mthandizi Ward Isaac ‘Jomo’ Osman and DPP deputy director of elections Joe Nyirongo.

The main opposition party observe that the arrests have taken a form of “ vindictive rounding up of whoever is connected to the DPP without regard to evidence of wrongdoing.”

It claims the arrests have nothing to do with the rule of law but borne out of hatred by the new  Tonse Alliance government against sympathisers of DPP and former president Mutharika

But a political scientist from the University of Malawi Ernest Thindwa has classified DPP’s claims as a “blatant insult” to Malawians.

He said the Chakwera administration would betray the majority Malawians who voted for Tonse Alliance if perpetrators of political violence and plunders of public resources during DPP reign were not held to account.

  1. stupid DPP! Don’t forget that you have been too pompous kumanyoza a oppostion kuti aona Nyekhwee! now the Nyekhwe you created has started tormenting its own creators! inutu simunati! Iwe wa Jeffrey, don’t forget that you called yourself Mfiti yaikazi and panio why are you crying? You said you have no mercy and now you are your fellow cadets are crying fouls asking for mercy! No! Nyekhwe igwire ntchito!

  2. DPP supporters and sympathizers should blame shameless Mutharika for what is happening because he is the one who championed ‘zero-respect’ for the rule of law and hence encouraged free-for-all pilferage and outright plunder of state resources for DPP ardent supporters and now the long arm of the law is now ‘shadowing’ everyone involved!!!

  3. dpp and any other was warned during the campaign regarding the corruption issue. so khalani pasi musatinyasepo.
    everyone got super rich. brainwashing malawians that you are developing the country.
    oipa athawa ekha. why we are seing porshe cars being dumped????
    just keep your stinky mouths and arses and sit down pleease. EVERYONE FROM A YOUTH TO THE OLDEST BEING ANAVA EKHA. YOU WERE WARNED.
    MUNKAESA CHANI???

  4. Iwe Mfiti yaikazi iwe just know kuti We (Malawians) are very saddened by the DP serious looting of our resources. You are evil. At first I believed that Malawi is a very poor country, but Alas! We have a lot of money. We can manage to build beautiful roads, hospitals, schools stolen by Chisale only. Tonse Alliance please hear this, work both tooth and nail not to allow DPP rule this country again. DPP is evil. Change electoral laws.

    1. Kikikikikikiki 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ‘witch hunting applies to who is suspected to be a witch’ hence forth madam Wajeffrey is already one, once confirmed of being a witch or looter the next step is kundende 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

  5. Which Malawians are being insulted? It is a fact dpp insulted Malawians with theft and corruption. It is a fact that dpp killed a family in area 24 and Njaunju. It is a fact that APM and dpp stole millions through Zameer under the guise of food rations. It is a fact that dpp abused taxes when they gave an outsider Atupele a convoy and state security. That was an insult. It is a fact that MBC insulted the Vice President and the MCP president who is now the president. It is fact that Botomani and Jappie Mhango stole money for coronavirus. It is a fact that Lule was killed in police custody and you know what happened when a policeman killed George Flyod in the USA in May 2020. It is a fact that dpp used tipex to steal the May 21, 2019 elections. It is a fact that Thom Mpinganjira wanted to bribe the judges. It is a fact and insult that the parastatals are full of cadets. It is a fact that dpp insulted Malawians with quota systems of education. What about the fuel that was drawn from ESCOM. What about the dismissal of the CJ, sending George Kainja to Zimbabwe, firing Vincent Nundwe etc? Was that not insulting Malawians. Come you thugs.

  6. You destroyed this country.You were selfish.U want to say lives of innocent people (Albinos,Tambalas, Buleyas and many more) didn’t matter not talking of massive looting, corruption n nepotism.Please give us a break

    1. Infact ‘ No mercy for the merciless’ by Gregory Isaacs, from the album Crucial Cults.

  7. I would understand it as an insult if justice was applied equally. I’m pro Tonse alliance, but it raises eyebrows when you arrest Norman Chisale and leave scot free Chunara, the Indian businessman who benefitted directly from the deal. In all the corruption cases you will pursue in Malawi (other than chiphuphu cha wa polisi pamseu) you will find an Indian or Chinese behind it. It’s a serious joke to put indigenous Malawians in police cells while the Indians who are masterminders of these deals enjoy their wealth outside. If Tonse Alliance is really serious about draining the swamp, I’m expecting a lot of these crooked business people in jail. If you lose this opportunity you will never gain it again as every politician in Malawi will be leveled crooked. Do what is right and betray not the trust people have in you

    1. I hear you. But I’ve just heard that Chunara has been picked up, so you spoke a wee bit too soon. And it’s no-brainer to predict that the dude who deposited K145m into an account solely controlled by the shifty APM will pay for it. But again, why is that crooked Rashid dude still in cabinet?? Hmmm. So I am with you, dear Patriot. It’s not our job to praise the govt of the day; we must always be wary of these politicians. The working assumption should be: they’re all cut from the same cloth. Unless proven otherwise.

    2. Chunara you are talking has been arrested too. Zimadikira kuti mudziwe which charges and evidence do you have for the concerned party

  8. Musatikale pachilonda mbava za dpp inu. Aliyense ali ndi mlandu wake okayankha mbuzi inu muopseze ndani? Ndipo simunatiii

    1. Nanunso ikubwera 2025 akamati chobwedzera kuwawa. Dzachiziwikire kuti Tonse pasanthe 2yrs igawikana moipa muja. Pofika 2025 aliyense adzafuna kuima payekha nde mtadzaluzire boma. Nde kayaaa msayankhule zambiri

      1. Ukunenazo is a future tense baba which is unknown, panopa it’s all about kuthesa umbava, katangale, ziphuphu, uchigawenga etc zomwe boma la DPP lakhala likupanga mmalawi muno. To end this, the only way is to bring the perpetrators to justice. Amangidwe basi, no one is above the law, no mercy

      2. Amalawi wa lero tasiyani dziko likonzedwe Kaye, zimenezo sizomanena padakali Pano ayi, ndinu a bale wa Bakili Muluzi? Ofuna kupatsa mtundu wa Malawi kuti ulamulidwe ndi Atupele. Kondani dziko lanu chonde
