DPP top brass hit back at UTM, say Chilima and his Movement are ‘disgruntled suspects’
The ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) gurus on Friday took turns to attack the United Transformation Movement (UTM) and its leader Saulos Chilima, describing the movement as a grouping of ill-mannered and disgruntled suspects who have stolen the DPP manifesto ahead of Malawi’s tripartite elections next year.
DPP’s Vice President for the Northern Region Goodall Gondwe, Bright Msaka for Eastern Region, Publicity Secretary Nicholas Dausi and National Governing Council (NGC) member Samuel Tembenu – all senior Cabinet ministers – told reporters in Lilongwe that Chilima must resign as State Vice President because he is no longer part of the team which was elected into power alongside him.
Other senior NGC members at the press conference included DPP Administrative Secretary Francis Mphepo and Henry Mussa.
Chilima left DPP to lead his UTM, blaming the party over rampart corruption in government, theft of public funds and nepotism, among other many inefficiencies.
However, he continues to serve as the country’s Vice President.
At the launch of his movement at Masintha in Lilongwe last weekend, Chilima promised to crackdown on corruption, improve the economy and create one million jobs within six months once voted into power.
“How could a person who failed to finalize public sector reforms in six months create so many jobs in the same period?” Dausi read out from a statement issued by DPP.
Gondwe chipped in, “We are urging Chilima to resign because he cannot be opposing the same government he claims he is still serving”.
“His behavior is unconstitutional and a breach of democratic principles. He could just resign honourably, otherwise his legitimacy to continue serving as Vice President has no basis and is laughable,” Tembenu scolded Chilima.
And Msaka said, “We will not be party to politics of insults as was the case with his UTM launch at Masintha, a cacophony of noise parroting our manifesto”.
According to the gurus, the DPP government is the only government which can create jobs in the country having allocated billions of kwacha to a youth internship program in this year’s budget.
There has been no immediate response from UTM.
But the movement is undeniably a huge force to reckon with ahead of Malawi’s 2019 tripartite elections having been joined by Speaker of the National Assembly Richard Msowoya and several other legislators from other political parties.
The battle line has been clearly drawn between Chilima and the DPP government with the latter even reducing security detail for the Vice President in an attempt to cripple his manoeuvres.

Dismiss and ignore UTM at yiur own peril. It may be filled with disgruntled DPP party members bit it also has a few honest men and women serious about making a difference in Malawi…..to drive true change. Even of UTM loses the elections next year, they will certainly the way parliament conducts itself….no more sleeping, no more looting with impunity without being to order. Most of the DPP TOP brass will f8nd themselves in jail.
Which team you are talking about? Is it “The Midnight Six”?
Fact is Chilima was chosen by APM ( not you!) and both got elected as a package by the people of Malawi and not a DPP cabinet!
What do you want?
Fact is also:
SKC got feed up with your midnight strategies an DPP and took consequences, but APM have an account full of dirty money and keeps silent!
Who should go now?
This is just a deal gone bad. As Muluzi said a Malawi sitichedwa kuyiwala. SKC helped rig for APM and DPP. He wants his reward. Now we are clapping for him as if stealing an election is not corruption. SKC watiwerenga kuti ndife opusa. Bola kuba 145million than stealing an election when 7million people wake up to choose a vote and someone just manipulates the process to choose who won.
Mbiri samangira sazengera bwalo Chilima alive milandu what you’re simply achieving on his behalf is that is better material than the intellectual illiterates now praying for Chilima’s resignation they are in a tight corner Chilima’s resignation is not forthcoming which means in case of a constitutional upheaval Chilima might perch on Chair number One or they will take his Chair number Two should he choose to resign which would weaken his campaign terribly so the so called canalisation must stop Chilima has neither Resigned nor died nor has been impeached to warrant such baseless allegations the UTM has enriched the political complexion of Malawi we shall chase the issues or shadows
He said he would create 1million jobs in one year. In the first 6 months there would be no school drop outs due to university fees because there will be school bursaries.
Too much wax in your ears!
Chilima has a message it resonates with the wishes of the cheapest Malawian. If his oral paint turns out to take us to our desired destination the is married to us till 2024!
Rattled
If Mutharika resigns as president due to corruption then SKC can also resign as VP. Otherwise, until voting day for both. The difference is that one of them will be heading to prison after the elections. The one who received a K145m bribery. What a good feeling !
Chilima is a hard working man and the DPP are blocking him from working. Chilima should not resign. The DPP are scared just in case one day they wake up to the news that Chilima is the president
.stay put Chilima. Do not resign.
SHAME IN AFRICA….. A STATE VICE PRESIDENT CLINGS TO POWER IN ORDER TO RECEIVE SALARY FROM POOR TAX PAYERS MONEY FOR THE JOB HE HAS FAILED TO DO..
Better paying Chilima because he is a vice president than giving our hard earned tax to Mb**a
According to constitution he is the VP until voting day. Shame on DPP and you for trying to sabotage his position. Your ignorance is shown here by writing in capital letters. Do your research!
It is true that when you raise an eaglet together with chickens, it starts behaving like a chicken. Previously I had great respect for the likes of Goodal and Tembenu. But since joining DPP they stopped reasoning like the intellectuals they are but like the Jeffrey wa Jeffreys of this country. You cannot tell apart the utterances of Goodal or Tembenu from those of Jeffrey wa Jeffrey, Jappie, Dausi, Obama and many intellectually challenged clowns in DPP.
These jokers claim Chilima is parroting what is in DPP manifesto. Is reducing presidential powers in your manifesto? Is freeing ACB, MBC and many other institutions in your manifesto? If they were in your manifesto, would you have ganged up with mercenary MPs using illicit K4 billion to shoot down your own bills meant to improve the country’s governance? These clowns think they are talking to primary school kids who cannot tell the truth and lies apart.
JEFFREY WA JEFFREY IS THE ONE PRACTISING POLITICS OF INSULTS. HOW CANB SHE CALL UTM MEMBERS PUPPIES?
These guys know each very well. It’s not good that Chilima has taken all these years to report corruption now. He has failed Malawians there and he should not even be trusted. It’s all for his personal benefits and seek to buy sympathy from Malawians . But being Malawian we are easily fooled and there we go voting for another error and liability into government.
Chilima is not talking politics but reality of what you aged boys are doing. We voted him into VP office until 2019, and now we will vote him into Kamuzu Palace. Agogo a Goodall ka kwakhalachi sono, Tikumukhumbani ku Engutwini kuti mukayimbenge vilapi ku bazukulu aba tamubabirani.
Agogo a APM namwe mulutenge baka ku Ndata mukaberengenge nakulemba mabuku gha malango. Tikumuwungani chifukwa cha kutondeka kumanga ma University ghala dada withu Bingu wakatiphalira, doko ku Nsanje. Nkhugomezga chifukwa cha uchekulu mulikuluwa ivyo Ngwazi yikakhumbanga kuti tipokere bina Malawi, Mwakumbuka baka kuphakuluramo mu m’phika uwu apo wanthu wakufwa chifukwa mankhwala kulije ku chipatala.
Mutharika should be the one to resign for taking our K145,000,000 and the other yet to be disclosed amounts. Otherwise just start paying back before you start collapsing to cold weather in the coolers. We are fed up with your plunder of our resources.
Hahahahaha!! Tembenu tangokhala chete and study the game. Ukudziwa zimene wachita kwa anthu ambiri. Denying them Justice using your position. You are minister of injustice and unconstitutional affairs. Zina lako limenelo. Mbuzi ya munthu. Unjoyeretu timiyezi tasalati, you will never be a minister again. Mark my words. Wa MCP Iwe in DPP government. Munaziwonapo zoterezi.
Agalu inu
Is it not the DPP top brass which is disgruntled?
What about ka 145 and other gates.You want us to believe your blue lie. We want to see another press conference yomuchosa amene anaba 145 ndikumpatsa evidence imene amafuna.
Ndinalipo when NDA of Brown Mpinganjira inkayamba; I even voted for him; koma zosatira zake Mmmm. Ndikazaona madera omwe UTM ili ya mphamvu, is when ndizabvomereze kuti UTM iwina; otherwise chipani sichimapambana kudzera pa social media. As of now the game is between DPP and MCP
Muzatipeza bambo
Hahahaha! Tembenu tangokhala chete Kaye and study the game. Ukudziwa zimene wachita kwa anthu ambiri. You are minister of injustice and unconstitutional affairs. Khala chete mbuzi ya munthu. Unjoyeretu timyezi tasalati and you will never be a minister again. Mark my words.
Regardless I’m voting for Chilima agalu inu mwatikwana
Koma izi ndi nkhukudi zokwerana pachibale. Zoona nkumadandaula zonyozedwa. Giledala Jeff wa Jeff sanyoza? She is even worse than Callista. You have to blame yourself for the treatment you give VPs. It started with Chilumpha. Mpaka Ralph Kasambara anatipunzitsa za constructive resignation. Then the bad treatment went on to Joyce Banda who became president after the oppressor suddenly died. At the age of Alamu Pumani Mwakalamba this can happen. Mumanama that ACB had not yet concluded investigating the corruption that involves the prince of thieves? The conclusion is that Alamu Pumani Mwakalamba is that he cannot be prosecuted now and that others should face the music. Agalu Inu. If there was a party to complain it should be MCP. Transformation ideas came from Chakwera not Chilima. Ending the quota system is Chakwera’s idea not Chilima. Escom theft came from Chakwera not Chilima. Chakwera talked of the prince of thieves. No wonder Nga Ntafu called you agalu. Ndinu agalu achiwewe.
DPP tathana many mbava inu……real presidential race is between Chakwera and ur baby Chilima
Paja munati mugawane 36% one.kkkkkk
UTM is as good as nkhalamba DPP when it comes to thieving.kkkkkkķk
No way for him to resign if laws of Malawi recognise him to be Veep till 2019. I hope there is clear demarcation between politics & governing the country. He is the best back up for presidence in this country ‘in case’. Its matter of tit for tat “paja simumati ndi mano anenepawo muwanyenyanyenya nawo?”
Mamulumuzana kutsinana makutu komaye mukuva kuwawaye while we’re enjoying the fiasco
Unfortunately, you do not have a proof that Chilma has stolen your manifesto. What you DPP should be asking yourself is what made you start ill-treating the VP. you started a long time ago having meetings at Goodall’s place in Lilongwe on how to frustrate Chilma. And this is not the first time you have done such a thing to a VP. JB suffered the same fate
Time is up. U steal and u think we r fools.
Chilima is the real deal. SKC should not even reply to these Pumbwas calling for him to resign, actually the Pumbwas themselves should resign for violating the constitution for theft by public servants.
SKC is not in the ckass of these Pumbwas so he should not make them relevant by replying to them. The class of Chilima is other Presidential candidates but not these bootlickers!!! Viva SKC, Viva UTM!!! Down with DPP!!
DPP your time is over,look at how tired the faces are.Magogo united mix apumbwa.
we tired of these fools! they are sitting on a time boom! we want trains in the city and electricity to hell with these old fools who dont love the country for their grand kids.
