DPP dares Tonse government on implementing campaign promises
Opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) says Malawians are anxiously awaiting implementation of some of the policies that President Lazarus Chakwera and his Tonse Alliance made during campaign.
DPP says the longer it takes to carry out some of the pledged the greater the likelihood of people losing faith that the policies they endorsed at the ballot box would ever come to fruition.
“What this means is that Malawians will feel cheated and therefore lose trust in the Tonse Alliance government of President Chakwera.
“Indeed, Malawians are waiting for 1 million jobs; three meals a day; duty-free week; K4,000 fertilizer: K14,000 passport; free water and electricity connections and many more. These and other Tonse Alliance promises were intended to pull Malawians out of abject poverty but it seems implementation hasn’t started yet. People’s patience is wearing thin and I wish to encourage government to move with speed,” leader of opposition in Parliament Kondwani Nankhumwa made the observation on Tuesday, August 18, at the funeral of the late Owen Kocherani.
Kocherani was DPP governor for Thyolo Central. He died suddenly on Monday after he collapsed at his residence at Thyolo Boma. He was also a very successful businessman and devout Muslim.
Nankhumwa paid tribute to the departed politician, describing him as a selfless warrior who fought for the betterment of Malawians.
“He wanted everyone to live a good life. He worked hard during campaign to ensure that the DPP under Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika remains in government to continue pursuing and implementing pro-poor policies. But that did not materialize and Tonse Alliance formed the new government and they are the ones managing the country now.
“I wish to assure Owen’s spirit that we will carry on with his dream of creating better lives and economic opportunities for all Malawians by ensuring that DPP returns to power after the next elections,” said Nankhumwa.
Other speakers at the funeral included former Local Government Minister and MP for Thyolo Central Ben Phiri, DPP Regional Governor for the South Charles Mchacha and Mayor for Luchenza Municipality Henderson Supuni and representative of Senior Chief Nchiramwela, among others.
They paid tribute to the late politician as a dedicated member of the party and society who made tremendous contribution towards the development of Thyolo Central as well the people’s welfare.
MP Ben Phiri said the late Kocherani was a father figure to him and that he invested a lot of time and personal resources to grow the DPP in the district.
“The late Kocherani has left a gap, which will be difficult to fill. May his good soul rest in everlasting peace,” said the Thyolo Central legislator.
Phiri also echoed Nankhumwa’s sentiments, rapping the Chakwera government that people are not having three meals a day and the job creation is set to start.
He said people of this country are desperate for a better life and not just lip service.
The late Owen Kocherani is survived by a wife and five children.

JUST PAY BACK THE MONEY YOU HAVE STOLEN
Koma anthuwa adakali okwiya kuti salinso m’boma. Zoona after just 2 months you expect what Ben was saying to happen? Seriously! No wonder zinthu sizimayenda m’mbuyomu if this kind of thinking is anything to go by. I am now convinced the PhD he claims to hold is fake. What? Really?
A Mchacha mwakwatira mwana and you have no future with MSCE. Even you Nankhumwa what if you lose in 2025 like Atupele Muluzi? Atupele angodalira mbava bambo ake. The best is just start a church like Enock Chihana who is assisting Bushiri nkumanama kuti he supplies fuel to Zimbabwe yet he fails to pay Katapira. The degrees you get from fake universities mudzalowa nawo kuti? Please the best for the employers is to check MSCE. Anyone with more than 28 points ndi mbola.
Wow! How times have changed! Look at Ben Phiri and Mchacha! How the mighty have fallen! My vote got rid of these politicians and now I dont have to see them on MBC tv every day and am so glad that the fresh elections got rid of these mediocre politicians who thought that they will rule Malawi forever! DPP should forget about ruling Malawi again! Even if Tonse does not fulfill its promises but going back to the thieving and careless DPP is suicidal! Inu kukhala ka chipani ka mtundu umodzi omwewo!
Funso…kodi chaka chino Mulhako uliko? Kapena chifukwa fuel wa ku Escom kulibe?

Let me start by saying, May Allah grant jannah to the departed.
Secondly I feel what the DPP is is true because an early bird catches worm. Some of their manifestos would have already been put to action like duty free week, free water and electricity connection atleast people would have had a feel of a new government in power.
But honestly they have not done anything that shows the touted change with the exception of arresting people.
On the other hand I feel that its too early to start finger pointing. Lets wait for the elapse of the first 100 days, then we will surly grasp a picture of this government.
It’s indeed too early to point fingers at the new administration. What dpp failed to implement in 6yrs cannot be done in just 2 months
This goes to show how retarded Cadets are! DPP is full of ignorant, pitiful, good for nothing thieves!……… Tonse has already started fulfilling its campaign promises:
1. Mbava zones zizamangidwa
Actual it looks like DPP missed the message that Chakwera delivered at the inauguration ceremony……..first thing that Tonse alliance has embarked on is clearing the rubble……so mr Ben Philip and mr Nankhumwa just pray that the tractor sent to clear the rubble does not come your way.
Secondly DPP should be reminded that the first Tonse full budget is coming in September please if you want people to eat three times a day then do not sabotage the budget, just approve it.
By the way last time you accused Chakwera of not leading by example at the funeral of mayi Dinala……mr Nankhumwa can you please confirm if social distancing was observed at this funeral because it does not look that way from the pictures we are seeing……
DPP do you know the damage you left to the country when you been in power?You act like people with blinkers.It may to take 2 to 5 years to clear your mess. Corruption that was going on while you’re in power you can’t see that.
Dpp don’t waste your time basi busy ndi Dpp kuti you should come back in govt. Which Malawian can allow that or kulozedwako
May The Almighty Allah grant him the highest stage of paradise Ameen
It is stupid for DPP thugs to expect Tonse Alliance to implement its promises in 2 months. They have to clean the rubble left by DPP thieves. Shame on you DPP thugs
True brother. And Dpp has already forgotten that war against corruption was one of Tonse’s campaign promises (clearing the rubble)
For now DPP must be subtle enough on their approach. It would be advisable to keep quite for now. If its striking back let them do so after a while. Ofcourse everytime DPP strikes Tonse will spin it off by making a big arrest to attract public attention from their shortfalls. Better wait for two years to sting. In the meantime work stealthily and establish vital links within the Tonse as a lifeline. Tonse is a union tied with ropes of sand. Easy to destroy. Free advice
Malawians lost trust to dpp completely. Tonse Alliance will continue governing this country up until the end of the World. Malawians hate nepotism and corruption
People have not yet started to eat three meals a day because DPP did not leave any food in the granary. Three-meals-a-day will manifest after the 2020/2021 crop season because of very subsidised farm inputs and mega farms, among other initiatives. Can you eat food that you haven’t grown and harvested yet? Come on, for goodness’s sake!
DPP is just barking these illogical criticisms just to be seen to be relevant. You DPP cadets, just watch quietly as of now whilst Dr Chakwera and Dr Chilima teach you how to run affairs of governmen in this new democratic dispensation.
So far, so good, so says I.
No meaningful Malawian will sympathise with you after all “umbabva, killings, nepotism etc that you have done. We are waiting for the police, ACB and the courts to sort you out stupid fools. What a mafia party!
5 year term you imbeciles.
You failed to make people eat two times not to mention three times a day for a whooping 6years and you expect Tonse government to fulfil their manifesto in 6 weeks? Usawi Chichi?
Anthu adya bwanji a Ben phiri munaba ndalama amzanu akukonza zimene inu munawononga
DPP BAD PPL, KNEELING ON OUR NECKS FOR MANY MANY YEARS!!!!! GIVE TONSE ABIT OF TIME…. THE RABBLE YOU LEFT IS TOO MUCH!!!!
KODI Mfiti zodya Samoosa wa nyama ya Njokanu mukuti chani? Osangokhala chete bwanji? Mukuona ngati tikukuonerani kukondwa heti.
Inu manifesto anu for 6yrs mwapangapo chani. Mukanadziwa moyo mmene umawawira tikakumbuka zomwe mwapanga Agalu inuyo.
Asiyeni a Tokha, akonza wokha zinthu.
Inu you are not wealth even to open up your stinking month.
DPP never delivered any manifesto they promised us.Kwawo mkuba,kupha,kuotcherana nyumba ndi magalimoto.Kunyenganso wana.
DPP IS GONE FOR GOOD WILL NEVER RESURRECT.NANKHUMWA UTIUZE ZONSE ZOMWE DPP INATIBERA AMALAWIFE.WE ARE LOOSING PATIENCE WE SHALL MATCH TO YOUR HOUSE SOON.
If I were DPP I would have been the last to say something on the Alliance promises but unfortunately I’m not the shameless DPP
Kulira jwa nanfedwa. What did you do in the six years you were in power??
Failed DPP leaders
KKKKKKK…..WHAT DID YOU DO FOR MALAWIANS THE LAST 6YEARS YOU WERE IN THE GOVERNMENT….
DONT BE CHEATED YOUR PARTY(DPP) WILL NEVER RULE THIS COUNTRY AGAIN.
Tiyeni uko mbuzi inu. What did you do in the 6 years that you were in government? Umbava ndi kupha basi. Tonse alliance is showing signs of good governance. Wait for the main budget before you start uttering your nonsense.
We just wanted DPP to go, tinatopa nanu mbava inu. Tonse alliance can take its time to implement the promises, bolani aluga ma cadet munapita.
The warrants are on their way. [..the police are waiting for the replacement of mtekama!]
Tonse Government is delivering promises Mr Phiri, fighting corruption & arrests are inline with the manifesto. Pay back the money.
Tonse alliance is implementing their paubale manifesto which will take long time to bear fruits
Nkhani zokamba pa maliro zimenezi? Paja mukusowa bwalo lokambira zopusa zanuzi? Muzingodikira kumangidwapo apa agalu anthu oyipa inu
Ananu dpp kumvetsa chisoni. You are paying the price for poor administration. You failed to deliver and your only agenda was stealing our taxes. You hired dubious contractors for the roads that look as if they are 30 years old. You never improved the hospitals. You never improved the schools. You burnt markets. You burnt offices. You tippexed elections. You allowed civil servants to steal. You stole fuel at ESCOM. You promoted tribalism in all sectors. You almost killed the north with quota system of education. The list is just too long. Kapumeni agalu inu.
Tonse government has only been in Government for about 2 months and they have already shown how rotten DPP was, you had 6 years with nothing to show for but KUBA and now you have the nerve to say what????
Mr Chacha takusowani, muli bwanji? Kodi a Social Welfara sanakuyendereni ndi ka mwana munakwatira kaja?
Mr Nankhumwa ndimakupatsani ulemu kwambiri. Koma school ndimadziwa kuwawa kwake, nkhani ya certificate tiyankheni.
