DPP’s Musowa apologises over reckless Covid-19 vaccine remarks:’ I feel embarrassed’

March 14, 2021 Owen Khamula -Nyasa Times 18 Comments

Controversial Mulanje Bale MP Victor Musowa (Democratic Progressive Party-DPP) has apologized and retracted his statement he said at a political rally, accusing the government of bringing to the people covid-19 vaccine instead of maize.

MP Victor Musowa: I am soryy

Speaking Saturday  in Nsanje at a political campaign rally, Musowa said the district has been hit by food shortages.

He said instead of giving people the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine, the government should have given them food first.

However, this has caused a storm in various social media platforms.

Musowa has released a voice clip to the WhatsApp group of members of parliament, apologising to the government, the minister of Health and the people of Malawi over the remarks.

“I feel embarrassed because of what I said. I have received complaints from both low and high level (classes) of people. I should not have said what I said,” he says.

He says given another opportunity to speak on a public rally, he would apologize to the people of Malawi.

  2. Mbuzi iyi. Is the government supposed to give maize to the people? I thought everyone is supposed to fend for themselves and the government should just provide support like it does with cheap fertilizers. The unfortunate part is that he has joined the group of idiots who are discouraging people to take vaccines. He is another Magufuli. What a stupid leader! Your apology is not enough. You have done the damage.DPP isadzabwerenso basi.

  5. His emotions supercedes his thinking capacity, anyway I guess he has learnt something otherwise I expect him as a law maker to be exemplary.U need to consult before u say anything to the public because every statement from ur mouth is proving to be senseless

  6. Thats what we call leadership osati aja amyankhula kuti kulibe korona aja koma akulephera kupepes [/spoiler]

  7. Kutengeka ndi politics. Umathatu after people have used you. Kuyankhula motumbwa. Ndi dziko ili. Analiko anzanu oyankhula mopusa choncho lero ali kuti?

    1. Oyankhukadi motumbwa amveke ‘…osamangoti kuli corona koma pamene anthu asakufa’. Lero onani sazakhalako pulezedente wadziko.

  8. This shows how sick the DPP is. You may apologize but we are very sorry for those who elected you to parliament because you do not have wisdom at all. You should thank God for the post you hold as there are many deserving people from your area who are better qualified than you.Take care.

  11. A good example of people not understanding freedom of speech.

    Freedom of speech is not only when people speak what we want to hear.

    Freedom of speech is when people speak what they believe to be the case.

    Criticising this poor SOD is just a complaint that he said something that was not politically correct.

    Will Government give us all the vaccine when we want it?,Or will they use it as a political tool?

    Government already used the vaccine as a political tool by using it to end the teachers strike.

    Musowa has nothing to apologise for, he was speaking his mind,FREEDOM OF SPEACH.

    Freedom of speech is not a privilege of those politicians that we like,it’s everybodys privilege.

    This is censorship at it’s worst.This is political partisanship of the worst kind.

    If and I say IF. a politician these complainants like had said to the same people,the same thing Musowa said,they would have praised them.

    Let us stop this madness of personalities becoming issues.

      1. You are exercising your feedom of speech,let others do the same.

        You are the reason some people do not comment for fear of being ridiculed without constructive comment.

        If you were the brains of the century you could have torn my comment apart but you can’t can you?limited to commenting on the person not issues.That I believe is the definition of a dunderhead?

  12. Similarly, Chakwera, Chilima and Joyce Banda should have apologised to Malawians for telling and misleading them that there was no COVID-19 in Malawi
