Exclusive exposé: Bingu & DPP snubbed Ntata advice on Malawi arbitrary arrests of 2011-12, leaked memo reveals
“Mr Ntata, What is more important to you: Preserving the law or the political status quo? Are you blaming the police for doing the duties? Are you suggesting that the so called opposition political activists should be free to break any law and police should not arrest them?” late Bingu wa Mutharika – 28th March 2012
Triple dilemma:
Following the current controversy around the motivation of Z Allan Ntata to take President Peter Mutharika Administration to task on governance issues, against a background where there is no clarity on Ntata’s own role in the bad governance that preceded the death of late Bingu wa Mutharika; when confidential memos chanced my way, I was and am still hesitant to table them for public consumption for four reasons.
Firstly, State House stuff like this – imprinted CONFIDENTIAL – is not something that one should float on the web for no good reason.
Secondly, it is not every day that an inquisitive soul like me, just comes across confidential stuff like this.
Thirdly, there was no way I could get State House to verify or disown these memos without exposing my sources.
And finally, knowing African governments, this could – for all I know – be a fabrication to “deal” with Ntata – who is now just a step short of being declared “enemy” of the state or to use a technical term: a persona non grata.
The issue at hand:
Caught up in this conundrum, this author decided to chat with the purported author – Z Allan Ntata, and quiz him on the validity of the memo and if indeed the manual inscription thereon is attributable – without doubt – to late Bingu, who as we all know, cannot defend himself.
“If you are out to describe the truth,” said Albert Einstein, “leave elegance to the tailor.”
This is exactly what this author wants to do now, having dispensed with the technicalities.
Unlike social media posts where anyone can get away with anything, let us approach this with sober minds in quest of the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, based on documented documentary evidence.
Welcome to this series of Malawi Confidential memos, or if you want, Malawi Leaks by Garvey Karvei.
Our goal for this current exposé is to determine IF Z Allan Ntata is advocating for good governance – in which case all Malawians should support him because the motherland will benefit;
Or,
IF, as the State House alleges, Ntata is just a “frustrated” attention seeker, one worthy of all the ridicule you can muster.
The test of the pudding:
All truth is said to pass through three stages. First, it is ridiculed, then it is violently opposed, before it gets accepted as being self-evident.
The challenge that the public and I am facing is that Z Allan Ntata’s assertions have been embraced and ridiculed with the same intensity.
As we speak, he now needs to pay attention to a civil suit from President Peter Mutharika.
The question is: can Z Allan Ntata redeem himself in this court of public opinion by making a case that can be accepted as being “self-evident” via this memo?
Or to put it better: can the dude be trusted?
Read on.
A season of arrests
October 2011- Osman, Mayaya and others arrested
In October 2011, police arrested five civil society activists – Habiba Osman, Billy Mayaya, Brian Nyasulu, Ben Chiza Mkandawire, and Comfort Chiseko – on charges of “holding an illegal demonstration.”
The five were taking part in a small, peaceful demonstration outside parliament, calling on President Mutharika to hold a referendum, resign, and hold an early election.
February 2012 – Kasambara arrested
On February 13, police arrested prominent lawyer, Ralph Kasambara, and five of his security guards in Blantyre, after the guards apprehended three men allegedly carrying a petrol bomb at Kasambara’s offices.
Police charged Kasambara and his guards with assault. Several days earlier, two national newspapers had published interviews in which Kasambara criticized President Mutharika’s record on human rights and governance, and called for his resignation.
While the guards were immediately released on bail, Kasambara was detained for several days before being let out on bail. The three men who attempted the attack were released without charge.

March 2012 – John Kapito arrested
On March 9, 2012, Malawi’s State House, the President’s office, issued a statement warning journalists and human rights activists that those who insulted President Bingu wa Mutharika faced prosecution and up to two years in prison.
On March 16, police without a warrant arrested John Kapito, the then Chairman of the government-funded Malawi Human Rights Commission and a prominent critic of the government’s human rights record in Lilongwe, the capital, accusing him of possessing guns and seditious materials.
Police conducted an extensive search of Kapito’s home and car, apparently did not find weapons or the materials, but nonetheless charged him with possessing “materials with seditious words,” and undocumented foreign exchange. He was later released on bail.

Speaking on Kapito’s arrest, Sisonke Msimang, Executive Director of the Open Society Initiative for Southern Africa (OSISA) said:
“John Kapito was arrested because he has criticised the president and taken the government to task – and to court – over some of its more undemocratic and unconstitutional measures.
The authorities have been trying to silence Kapito for months with public threats and intimidation but he has continued to exercise his constitutional duties and speak out – and so they have now had him arrested on these trumped up charges.” http://www.osisa.org/law/malawi/malawi-human-rights-commissioner-arrested
March 2012 – Atupele Muluzi arrested
On March 20, 2012 the BBC posted the following report.
The son of Malawi’s former President Bakili Muluzi has been arrested following two days of political violence in the capital, Lilongwe.
Atupele Muluzi, then 34, was charged with inciting violence, according to a police statement.
His arrest followed police firing tear gas as he was about to speak in Lilongwe, and this sparked a violent reaction in which a police station was burnt down.
Full post: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-17438072
Today, Hon Atupele Muluzi is none other than the Minister of Home Affairs in Pres Peter Mutharika’s cabinet.
Genesis of these arrests:
Increasing political intolerance, dictatorial tendencies, shrinking space for civil society and economic hardship following a donor freeze meant that late President Bingu wa Mutharika was reeling under growing pressure from the opposition, civil society, and donors.
To quell dissenting voices, Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) strongmen persuaded former Inspector General, now State House Comptroller Mukhito, to arrest anyone who was seen to be a prominent critic.
Ntata – the lone ranger?
At some point in one’s life, you feel like a lone crusader fighting for what’s right when everyone around you seem to have gone bonkers.
Speaking to this reporter, Ntata says that before the arrests commenced, the issue was discussed at a Presidential special meeting which was attended mainly by the DPP politburo and this meeting was the point he felt the odd one out.
He tried – in vain – to convince President Bingu wa Mutharika and the entire politburo that arrests would not solve anything.
He was roundly condemned and contrary to his counsel, the arrests increased.
Atupele’s arrest – the straw that broke the camel’s back
Atupele Muluzi’s arrest was the match in the powder barrel and on March 21, 2012 immediately after Atupele Muluzi’s arrest, Ntata wrote this memo to his boss, the late Pres. Bingu wa Mutharika.
Reading the memo, ones sees that Ntata was unequivocal that while he did not condone the breaking of the law by anyone, he strongly felt that the Attorney General, Minister of Justice and Legal experts’ opinion should be sought before these arrests were effected.
Ntata was against the growing culture and practice of leaving the likes of Wakuda Kamanga and Francis Mphepo to be issuing instructions to arrest as if they were authorised – under the Laws of Malawi – to do that.
The response from the late president is inscribed on the memo for you and for posterity to see and judge.
“Mr Ntata, What is more important to you: preserving the law or the political status quo? Are you blaming the police for doing their duties? Are you suggesting that the so called opposition political ‘activists’ should be free to break any law and police should not have arrested them?”
This was Bingu wa Mutharika retorting on March 28, 2012.
As everyone can see, for his troubles, Ntata secured yet another of the many presidential reprimands he usually got for his advice.
He has, it appears, since graduated summa cum laude from mere reprimands. Today he draws defamation suits!
Over to you:
According to one George Lincoln Rockwell, a revolution is a spectator sport where the majority sits in the stands, watching the factions fight.
At the end of the fight, they choose side with the team that is winning.
And having read this memo, (should you want copies for closer scrutiny, email: garveykarvei(at)ymail.com) it is now your turn to make informed decisions.
To the best of your judgement, based on this one piece of of the jigsaw (more will be coming in this series), is Z Allan Ntata:
- a) Advocating for good governance and piling the pressure on President Peter Mutharika to “save” him (APM) and Malawi from the architects of his brother’s downfall– in which case all Malawians should support him?
Or,
- b) Is Ntata just a frustrated attention seeker – worthy of all the ridicule you can muster?
You are the jury, and you are free to double as judges.
When everything has been done and said, what Sri Chinmoy crooned: Ignorance is an enemy, even to its owner and knowledge is a friend, even to its hater; seems to aptly sum up the tale of Z Allan Ntata and the presidency he invested in creating.
I will see you all in the next sequence of this exclusive exposés. Do not browse away.

Ntata must be a coward dog barking long after the lion is gone
Why are you saying this now? Becz Bingu is gone?
Why didn’t you resign?
Why didn’t you reveal this while you had the post?
You might be saying the truth but you are as worthless and greedy
So do not accord yourself the title of a patriot
The truth can only be exposed by those who have worked inside an organisation whether they were part of the wrong doings or not. They are the ones who saw those wrong doings. President Nixon was exposed by insiders in his Watergate Scandal; Vanunu exposed the Israelis having an atomic Bomb, he was part of developing the bomb; Edward Snowden exposed what the Americans were up to, yet he worked for years within that industry of espionage. Malawi Cashgate was exposed by those who benefited from the loot. All these people swore to secrecy but having seen the wrong doings they came in the open. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE THIS MAN. He may tell us more. Most of us are worried that he may be another CHASOWA!!!
Zangoyamba chabe,zenizeni ziziwika.Sumangofuka.
Akukana chiyani?
Ntata, keep revealing the truth
Mtata is dog barking a lion.what you write can change nothing becoz bingu is not peter.you know this is rubbish thats why you use nyasatimes.expose whtever you have and see if you can get anything.why do you want a position when you fled the country.come 2019 and see how political game is played.people now have answers as to why sometimes is difficult to balance gvt positions like ministers.you only give some positions whom you trust .this alesoon to president to avoid hiring street boys to sensitive positions.
Komatu mudzati Ntata ndi wamisala koma kumbukirani kuti wamisala anaona nkhondo
This has now become boring! Let them their battles kwawo ku Mlakhwo wa a Lomwe. Please tell us about Chakwera and others. PP bvuto lake anaphwasuka monga momwe inayambira. Very fast colapse.
Ok
This pilitical fight betwixt Ntata and the Mutharikas has something bihind it. Critics without sense of analysing glue your mouths and wait for Ntatas points and conclusions. Let’s wait and see he will lay bare the intestines of the giant called Mutharikas.
ntata is indeed an empty tin. Did he think he was writing something sensible to a head of state in that shallow memo? shame!
NO 88, NDAKUONA NDIWE WA LAW. HANDWRITING NDI SIGNATURE ILI PA MEMO INALIDI YA BWANA MUNTHU WA MKULU, NGWAZI. “ZALIMBA ALLAN NTATA’ MUSIYENI ALI NDI INFOR. AMENEYU MUYALUKA NAYE. CHONDE APM, OSALIMBANA NAYE ALLAN NTATA. What “zalimba” A Ntata has done here is an offence indeed and he needs to be prosecuted now.
In the end it is Ntata getting heavy blows. who would trust untrustworthy individual such as Allan Ntata?? I thought you take oath of allegiance and confidentiality before you ascend to those privileged platforms?? by leaking these memos what are you trying to achieve?? NJOKA SAWETADIIIIIIII!
This memo proves the point I have always made-that is we Malawians should not be blaming advisors. Advisors are chosen by the president now Peter Mutharika, they give advice to the president who takes it or not. In fact it is Peter Mutharika who has to decide whether the advice is good or not. Afterall it is the President who has power to dismiss his advisors.Things are worsening in Malawi now. There is no new vision, policy and strategy to transform Malawi. Who is to blame? It is Peter Mutharika and not advisors.
“WE ARE SPECTATORS ONTHE STANDS” fight! fight! “ngondo ni ngondo,ngakale pa mbuno amamenya” KULIRALIRA BWANJI?
Who leaked these documents?
Firstly, let me analyze the response from the late bingu here. ” what’s more important to you: preserving the law or political status quo?” in my opinion, I think the late bingu was politely asking mr ntata if he was exercising his duty as a legal adviser or political adviser? I believe the late president had an adviser on political issues who was not mr ntata and in this scenario mr ntata was acting like a political advisor. now my first question to mr ntata is why was he concerned with political issues here when there were legal issues to deal with in the same situation? my opinion is mr ntata was doing somebody’s job here. my second question is why? my other opinion is mr ntata was trying to score something here, you can even see how he soothingly finished the memo: “I have the honour to remain, sir, your Excellency’s most obedient and loyal servant.” mr ntata, what has done into you sir?
Haters wish there was a Tumbuka involved so they can come with their tribalistic comments
Njoka saweta!
Siizi tsopano?
Yalumatu apa.
When you finish fighting the truth will come out
Mizwanya iyoo. Tvm . Were u not there defending the same things? Tinkadabwa kuti sapesa uyu wachokera kuti? Mukudziwana momwe mumadyera. Tiye nazoni.
Vuto lolemba ntchito anthu,a cahmba omwe mitu yawo simakoka ndilimeneli!the comment by the stare president was 100% correct.if the police wants to arrest me and you for breaking the law do they consult such individuals,though it is of high degree?shupit zanu anyasa n ntata
To my surprise Mr Ntata did not resign,if he was really serious that he despised the way Bingu was doing things the best way was to disassociated himself From the administration
by handing in his resignation letter,did he? the answer is no
kodi onse ndi agontha nkhutu paubale pawo?
They call it empathy, put yourself in ntata’s shoes. He is not saying peter is bingu and bingu is Peter. Many people have criticized and insulted Allan for being a very bad advisor to bingu’s brutal regime. But Alan also told us before that sometimes his good advice was ignored by bingu. Of course advisors can advise but at the end of the day it is the boss or the president who makes the final decision to either take the advice or ignore it and do something different.
If this memo is aunthetic, it proves ntata right that sometimes he gave bingu advice but was ignored. That is all that ntata is trying to say here. In other words not all of bingu regime’s brutality can be attributed to ntata as some of you dpp die hards have all along been accusing ntata.
By revealing or stealing the confidential memo whether rightly so done or not, ntata is trying to garner some credibility in what he has been saying that he was not respondible for bingu’s decisions which most of you have been criticizing him.
Emotions are running very high and I fear for this young man. The brutality of this dpp regime is frightening and I can see things going horribly wrong either way.
Ntata is a frustrated man why is he against APM he does not have something new to say other than fighting DPP and our President we are tired of hearing everyday about this loser
In a battle field, one uses every weapon available to win a fight.However,objectivity lacks in this fight. Lucious once sang, Ngati umenyana ndi chitsiru anthu owona sangalekanitse. Our president needs to think maturely. Never waste time with this man. You hv better things to do for the country. Do not underestimate this toddler, he is in for something.
Allan Ntata don’t be clever as you are a dull boy
Anthu onse mukunena apa kuti Bingu amawamanga ali ku DPP kapena akudya za DPP. Chiza, Atupele etc Bingu ankawamanga podziwa kuti pa gulu akuyankhula zina koma kuseliko akufuna kudya nawo fokofu
More Fire!
Look at the date for those letters in blue. 28/13/2012. Where on earth you have that kind of date
When I become the president, I will hire Ntata as my legal council. Francis Mphepo for President.
yaa zilipo sopano zayambika mwana uyu ndioopsya ndithu wina akomokanso.
I am not DPP. But without going into the merits and demerits of the advice which Ntata gave to HE, the exposure of such confidential information is an offence under the Official Secrets Act, as well as a breach of solicitor client privilege which exist between a lawyer and his client. Can Mr. Ntata be prosecuted under the Official Secrets Act, and his practicing license as a legal practitioner be revoked for breaching the client-solicitor privilege which is not only unethical but also a common law offence. Director of Public Prosection, please release the consent that Ntata be prosecuted.
When people have decided to follow the path of destruction,they become deaf and blind.
This is a dangerous game and I see something terrible happening sooner than later.Watch this space!
Kodi Ntata yu alibe chochita eti.. looking at this, now I know this guy is a looser..mbuzi yeni yeni..Desperado. sangapange zina zaphindu koma kulimbana ndi amzake. If Peter’s govt doesnt need u to serve, find something better to do, u loser..mmene wayambira muja , ukupindula chani? watikwana wamva
Ntata does not want to earn trust from idiots. You are very stupid to associate him with this rotten party which he dumped and your headless chicken. Fool!
Ntata is a true law abiding citizen and doing the right thingm
Waiphula! The memo is genuine and the handwriting on the left side is indeed Bingu’s,I doubted you Allan but with this, I now see some brains in you.
Things are going out of hand now, I the govrnment should do something on these leaked state house memos. Investigations should start now to find out who passed on these to the media. All this nonsense happening now just because of puting high the name of this mercenary lawyer Allan Ntata by this online forum. All people involved in the leaking of the documents be arrested and face the courts. What has APM done wrong to show us the confidential material, u president omwewu kapena zina za personal. This office has to be respected at all times, Something has to be done now!
Allan don’t waste our time
The wise late B Marley who was not that educated sang and I quote; ”who soever dig a pit, shall fall in it”. And further that “man to man is so unjust, children do not know who to trust, your worst enemy could be your best and best friend worst enemy”.
Fellow Malawians what I see in all this trash is that Nyasa Times and Ntata are shooting their own foot here, because at the end of the day they remain with their true ID Malawians.
Gone are the days when pastors used to teach their children morals, hence no wonder we hear about their children being involved in slander and robberies.
I strongly believe that Ntata is also involved in the cashgate in one way or another just as most of us Malawians are.
Let us all be the agents of the change we preach.
One of Don Carlos’s album is titled “Time is the Master”, whilst Mutaburuka sang “Tis no gud to stay in a whitemans country too long”. My mom told me time and again that “Never fight your brother in public, cause strangers will take advantage”.
One question I always ask myself is that why is that, it is only nyasa time publishing and promoting such items, why not these other print medias?
I told you Ntata and I will tell you again……You and your DPP Stink!!!!!
Big Man ndinudi big.
memo yabodza why hayou hidden the signature. amla
Bullshit! Only cowards r boot lickers. Boot licking will cause u engest bacteria while money changes r falling 4rm boot’s owner. Eventually the boot licker will die of diarrhoea. Will u blame the boot’s owner 4 the death? Foolish ignorant born ppl, when shall u stop licking the boot to prevent ur own death and that of the nation?
Allan is not wrong !Tell us more bambo Ntata ! May be some of these people can wake up from tulo!
I know those who are insulting Ntata are stupid DPP die-hards who have nothing to do but to defend the DPP led government at any costs. Allan, you are not alone. We are behind you and you are a man. Some are angry because they feel their DPP is painted black. Let’s call a spade a spade; DPP led government is never short of blunders. Mr Ntata, I know now that you have the welfare of Malawi at heart.
THEN THERE WILL BE A TYM WHEN THE TAPS WILL RUN DRY, NO MORE REVELLATIONS KENAKO BASI WAKUMUDZI, NAZIWONAPO NDI CHIPANI CHINA CHITACHOKA MU UDF, CAMPAIGN KUMANGOKHALA KUULULA ZOMWE ZIMACHITIKA WITHOUT EXPLAINING NJIRA ZOTHETSERA ZONHITIKAZO, KATA TITANI KAYA.
Ntata, keep the fire burning!!!!
Mine is question. why is breach of secrency being over expressed by u DDP cadets. wakuyalusani? is it that the DPP state house plans and hide evil deeds as it was done past weeks. Remember there is no secrency under the sun.
APM has nothing to offer us.This country has gone to the dogs.Have you seen that our GDP is the worst in Africa. I tell you all of you who voted or rigged the elections for DPP. Mudya mayi. No medicine,no donor support,kusolola at MBS,Njala this year also mulila. Mphudzisi uyu ndi chitsilu and that’s why he is busy with stupid fights.Let your work do the talking not running to courts like a little bitch.Ntata has done nothing wrong here.The truth hurts.
Thats being careless allan. Whatever your plans are you will never earn the trust of APM and dpp in general.
Koma allan mpaka wafika popanga release ma memo? Are you out of your mind?
So Mr Ntata if this true or not he signed OATH of Office on any communication between advisor to the president and mr ntata being a lawyer ????? Barrister UK ???? disclosing those previladged information is a crime by way advise given are subject to be accepted or not….
Desparate diseases require desparate remedies. A wise man will not conceal the truth simply because he signed or took some stupid oath!
The problem that has haunted this nation, and will continue to do so, is its stinking high ignorance level on the part of its citizens. This ignorance is always reflected in the comments that follow articles as this one!
Please look at facts! There is a lot to learn from this article. This article, for example, reveals why APM turned down the Attorney General’s earnest request to hold officials who authorize unreasonable arrests that lead to loss of govt funds through compensation, personally responsible.
I am sure that, just like ntata, kaphale is also having his recommendations thrown out of the window time and again! Arrogance runs in the DNA of the Muthalikas!
Ntata ndiwe Mbuzi chomene, Nyasatimes Mbuzi and JB Mbuzi. Nonse Mbuzi, Mbuzi, Mbuzi. Bull shit! Mavuzi anu.
It is not wisdom to make available confidential communication in the way Mr. Ntata is doing here. If everybody who served government was revealing confidential issues, then there could be chaos. That is the reason, people working in certain positions take oath. This is a criminal act by Mr. Ntata and it is difficult to understand considering that this is done by somebody who is a lawyer. This communication does not help Mr. Ntata to correct his bad character but is actually exposing how bad he is. The memo is irrelevant as it was between the late Bingu wa Mutharika and Mr. Ntata, it does not mean anything to most people. Those who have grudges with the Peter Mutharika administration might be happy but should be a lesson to those in authority the people they recommend to assist in running the country. Time will tell but I see no champion here apart from destroying mother Malawi.
No breach of Oath here unless the oath he took was for life. He is No longer a state house employee!!!!!!
Kodi a DPP Ntatayu munamutenga kwaaani? Thana nayeni nokha ife tinamudziwa chifukwa chainuyo. Mbuli inzanu
Whoever and whatever you are Maximum Prison, your thinking is so idiotic that it makes Ntata material for Laurete Nobel nomination.
Whether all this story is true or false, but the background to Z Allan Ntata’s come-back matters most. The guy was in hiding after the death of late Bingu. Why did he run-away? This a side, during former president’s reign, the guy was still in hiding till Peter came to power. From there that’s when we heard of stories that he made efforts to meet the president. Snicking in cars of big people that wanted to meet the president and late we held of firing and shiftings of presidential residence guards due to Ntata’s presence within the residence. Why did he make all those efforts to get to Peter that time and the President seemed not willing to meet him? Now for me, Ntata’s pressure on the government is like an attention grabber/seeker. He has unfinished business he wants to do when back on-board. Unfortunately the chance to get on board is not there, so in frustration, he does what he is doing.
A Ntata find other means of compansating yourself for the lost promises, don’t try to be good to in people’s eyes and yet nthawi imene mayi amatenga boma munathawa. Mumkathawa chani? People want to know that too……..
Order Please!!!! Mr. President avoid picking up a fight with Ntata, ignore this and caution your aids not to respond!!! Concentrate on pertinent issues affecting our nation presently without any distraction. Good day!!!!!
i remember how ntata used to parade himself on tv malawi defending bingu policies. lero nde ukuti chani? only a fool can listen up to your nonsense.
going through ntata’s previous articles and public statements he made, it goes without saying that this man is lunatic and hypocrite of highest order.
We all now agree that this stupid nurse can not be taken seriously . By the way , for those who don’t know Ntata , he is a son of an SDA Pastor, he did his secondary education at Malamulo Private at Makwasa, Thyolo, then he proceeded his nursing and mid wifery at the same institution , Malamulo Hospital, I don’t know how he turned out to be a Lawyer , may be ( a loya ungoberabera omwewa a masatifikate ongopenyapenya ngati aja anaona Hophmaly Makande ) . Bingu is dead , why brought things about someone who is no more and can’t defend himself. And I know people like Anthony Kamanga , Mbendera , Bright Msaka, Lovemore Munlo , Lewis Chimango who were at the whelme of various governments , but I have never heard someone revealing what was discussed during there time , so you see you politicians the dangers of hiring people not on merit but to please them, see now
Allan, something is wrong with you my friend. who is cheating you to believe that malawians are happy with your rubbish? the problem is that i do not really see what you are fighting for? do you know yourself? share with me. you seem to be very confused. how can you on earth leak such information? if you have corruption or governance issues with the president, you as a lawyer, do you not know right platforms?
UK, you can see how untrustworthy this creature you are keeping is. he claimed to be royal to the late president but see what he is doing to the dead. that man is dangerous, he can leak important information for your country. who knows he might be linked to bok* h*r*m.
be careful young man with your wide uncontrollable mouth.
Useless Ntata. U think we will be busy reading your nonsense? You were there during that time and you were busy defending the late Mose on TVM ndiye utibowe lero chifukwa APM sanakupatseko udindo? You run away before Bingu was buried so uona ngati ungapatsidwe udindo?
Koma iwe ndiwe chitsiru bwanji. Ngati sufuna kuwerenga za Ntata ndiye apapa ukukomenta zandani? Kapena ndiwe sing’anga ndiye wadziwa kudzera mmaloto zomwe walemba Ntata? Ife tiweranga za Ntata yemweyo basi!
Mtata expose them stupid politicians ! They have a lots of skeletons in their cudboard. Deal with them . More fire ! Wina alira .
Mukudziwana apa asa!! Garve
Allan Ntata is really a disgruntled person! He is trying all he can to get into the government! But mind you can’t fight against the government otherwise you will end up draining all your resources while the government is going strong Four years to go while you are still fighting? All your ammunition will be finished and the opponent will pounce on you without much a do! The best way to get into the system is to be a boot licker else you die trying! Azako akumwa wa mkaka iwe uli busy kutukwana boma! Zako izo! Anzako akudyelera!
Ine si wa peter koma mtata watopetsa
SHUPIT ZAKO. Ukunamatu iwe. Wagwanayo. Koma ulimba mpaka 2019? KKKKK JB akupwetekesa mphwanga. Uzingomudyera ndikumukwera basi kkkkkk.
a che ngana inutu mukunama, ife Ntatayo tamukonda kwambiri chifukwa ansonyeza chidwi chake kwa Amalawi. Anthu salimba mtima kumuuza president za chilungamo. Ma legal advisor ambiri sapereka ulangizi oyenera koma omuuza president zokhetsa mwazi ngati momwe ziliri msiku a pitalawa. usaname amalawi palibe akusangalala ndi boma la Pitala. iwenso manyi ako ukanyere uko
Bingu adapita kuli mphwake lero
Ndithu Allan tithandize mbuzi izi za Munthalik ndizonzunza kwambiri
Things worth smilling,if was the case Mr so called Ntata would hav another way out of telling this bull shit stories,let u govern th country failling whch u govern ur family else go to hell…
The memo doesnt look aunthentic because the author of the purpoted memo has tried to hide his ass by blacking out his signature. we all know that documents can be doctored just as what the author has done on this. Ntata my own advice is; You were employed in a high sensitive area and leaking state house information ngati amako Joyce Banda amanena kuti ku state house kulibe CCTV mpaka iwo anachokelapo osakonza will lead you to the very same arrest you are purpoting to have been advising against here. Kodi anakusayinisani official secrets act kapena paja zinalowa MULAKHO kumangopasani maudindo osasatila ndondomeko agalu inu.
ngati ndi dolo bwanji osabwera kumalawi kuno ndikukumana masondi maso;your a coward
Allan Ntata,you dnt knw tht there you are it z nt your Country?how do you think they will trust you?cant you see your kickng yourself from the back?do you think they can trust you?you musst know tht how long it may take you will never have chance of employment outside Malawi.believe me or not,your act is jst crucifying yourself,you are acting more less like a child.So what are you trying to tell us here?You want to tell us tht just because you advised Bingu,Peter should hire you to work as his adviser too?Hahahahaha!I cant see the basis of your artical in attaching these,or you want the Police to convict Peter because Bingu arrested Politica Fellas previously?
Do you want People to hate Peter because Bingu did tht in the past?fine is there any story or at tht you are refering t tht has happened recently?Indeed you are digging your own grave my Brother,I tho being the son to a retired Pastor, you were supposed to behave exemplary.Cant you see you are embarrassing your Father’s name?I dnt this will yield anything for you,i can see tht you want this current government to arrest you so tht Peter be ressembled to Bingu.I can see you have taken a very wrong tack or forum,If are to be arrested,this will be done in accordance to the oath you made not to expose the state issues.Once again jst by lookng to wht you have done,you deserve to be arrested.Not tht Peter hates you,but you hate him and yourself!I feeling sorry of you!!

With my due respect to Allan Ntata, i do not understand why are you so furious with His Exellency Prof. Peter Mutharika to such an extent. Munayambana chiyani?
I don’t think this is good for Malawi. Lets love our country by being responsible citizens always. I appeal His Excellency Prof A.P. Mutharika to forgive this estranged kid and invite him home.
We have one country Malawi to protect its image to the outside world. Lets all join hands for this noble cause.
The Mutharikas are power hungry freaks, liars and bigoted control freaks! They think they are God’s gift to Malawi…they are not! In as much as it is not right to start leaking sensitive government documents for the obvious security damage it does to the country, one welcomes these leaks. I have every beleif that it will finally end up at the doorstep of Peter Mutharika having been complicit in the K92biilion looting of the government resources.
Does it not matter to some of you who continue to support these thugs, that people, our brothers and sisters, cousins, parents are dying unncessarily in our hospitals because these fools looted the economy and continue with their impunity to this very day? When will Malawi really wake up to the reality that NO DONOR has any confidence in Peter when he failed to advise his own brother against the deportation of the British High Commissioner while he(Peter) was Minister of Foreign Affairs in his brother’s cabinet.
Lets us wait and see. The kwacha is tumbling and there is no stopping it, no matter what that idiot Bad-all Gondwe can say. Very soon there will be no forex in the country to buy fuel. Then, and only then, will Malawians wake up to the reality that Allan z Ntata should be our next president. My advice to Allan, leave DPP and join MCP. You will add value there. Not with these fools…
THEY SAY…”NEVER KISS AND TELL”…
A Ntata inu, osamakapangitsa ma Effort bwanji? mesa ndiwe mwana wa m’busa?
whatever the case might be, I insist that Mr Ntata should find another platform or means of advising the president not through the media if at all he is doing this for the good of the country and the president.
Are you telling us history or current news? Is this Muntharika Bingu or Peter? tell us. Lets talk of today. mind you even if your father goofs you can’t call him a childless chick? Always mind your language when talking to the elders .Give them the cultural respect they deserve.
Koma ndiye ziliko. Z . Allan Ntata is a deal. I presume that this might be the end of APM, i can’t wait to see this clueless government coming to an end.
Mr NTata are you trying to vindicate yourself, you are now dealing with Peter not Bingu. You can not link the behaviour of Bingu to Peter thats where you are missing it, your continued attack on Peter will not yield anything because Peter is a different character and he drives things differently.
From the look of things there is completely nothing you are fighting against. You started fighting Ben Phiri and Peter and since Ben Phiri is no more the front runner with the President you have now concentrated your fight against Peter. Since you started your campaign against Peter the President has been ignoring you, but you continued harassing him using very crude language to irritate and try to force him to use the Government machinery to stop you which he never did instead he used legal means to politely ask you to leave him alone.
What you should know is that you make take yourself to be a champion or you are being paid to fight Peter or else you want to impress and making a show off.
Take it or leave it, if the leadership of Peter is GOD approved and you are trying to use Satanic and Devilish methods to distract him the same Almighty will strike you hard mark my words, but if he is not GOD approved you can continue to write you trash and nothing will happen so my brother seek wisdom from GOD not men
This is fake memo. you mean they use such style for memos at state house with no government or state house seal / logo? A memo to the head of state? Mupengatu inu. muli nayo nthawi ndithu.
Good that we have to be the judge and jury at the same time. An adviser writes so many memos to his boss and by leaking this one it seems Ntata values it as his best. Now looking at the problems that Malawians were going through during the said period, I can say that Ntata was a bad adviser because he is saying that the PAC meeting said nothing tangible when we all know that PAC wanted Bingu to resign within 90 days. A bad adviser who still hoodwinked his boss to gain favours
If Ntata had signed off this memo, his handwritten signature should have not blacked out to show authenticity. Why black it out? Masanje eti?
The truth remains: Peter Mutharika has stolen millions of dollars from poor people of Malawi and hidden the loot in American banks. I hope Obama can help root out corruption in Africa by instructing his agencies to freeze stolen money in Mutharika’s Bank account.
Zitipundilira chani izi abale, zopanda ntchito
ZAUTSIRU TIMEWASTING
This article has ill intentions and it only labours to make Ntata look good. Why trying to gain marks over the dead? Not wise at all
So what Allan? This does not make you an angel. People still hate you for what you did
So high profile people should not be arrested when they have done something wrong? Why should the police consult the president, attorney general or Ntata in order for them to carry out their duties? This is total rubbish Mr Ntata. Unless you say that the arrests were without reasons or people did not break any law then you may be right but if they broke the country’s laws they should be arrested whether its Kapito, Kasambara or whoever its the same treatment just like any law breaker.
I thought this is breach of the oath he took? I am not impressed by these kind of people. They are lame
There is more things to learn in this article . Read with sober mind
He is a political and good governance activist. What he does is for the general good of the people of Malawi. He has the truth with him and do not dare him with your bare feet. In all he says he has the information so do not take him for danderheads. Wina anyeredwatu apa. Iwe wangokhala Cardet koma ulibe information ungodalira chikwanje basi. Learn to push things with vast knowledge and information.
Mukatha kukangana agalu inu mundiimbire thenifolo i want to have special meeting wt you two.
This is god stuff. This is good piece of information for Malawi and the upright shall always stand.
lets wait & see, how long a bird can fly, one day will land.
Sizinati ziululika zam’biri.
You mean anyone can be excited with things that happened four years ago? Hahahaha Ntata is desperate
I have a problem with political arrests. But I have a greater problem with waiving what would be lawful arrests just for political gain. If Bingu was convinced it was lawful and there was evidence to that effect then he was right to uphold the rule of law.
Unfortunately, we all know some of these so called lawful arrests were not lawful. It was ill advice from some sectors including you Mr Ntata. If I may borrow your words in your memo you said you were certain there was a law broken by Mr Kasambara. Indeed the president had to rely on some sectors to make decisions and you just gave him your opinion that it was certainly lawful.
Trivia
We keep talking about history.
The world is 600 billion years old, at no time has it been said that a civilization here on earth went back in time and corrected the wrongs that happened, and there after their future changed for the better.
No amount of lamenting about the past will make a better future, if anything it ensures people remain bitter, and confrontational.
I personally do not see the benefit to this country, that the said memos will have. They will have a benefit to those that dislike DPP, they may even put them into power, then what? The same old story will start again.
How many people has this Muthalika thrown into jail? Does the writer wish he had, so he could make a better comparison with his brother?
A party is an abstract with shared ideology amongst its members. Malawian parties do not have ideology, they follow the leader. So because Bingu was Peters brother, does not make Peter Bingu. Was the memo copied to Peter?
Alan has beef with Peter, how does a memo to Bingu fit in.
If people were guilty of their brothers crimes, there would be no one out of jail.
“Moving on” is a strategy that saves people from a lot of things, it has also saved a lot of nations, like Rwanda, which we admire all the time but never emulate.
“Rwanda, this Rwanda that, yes they moved on they do not behave like a dog with a bone.
We use the past to shape the future. When we say we learn from mistakes, what does that mean? Are mistakes in the past or future? Go to Rwanda and see what they are doing to make sure the genocide does not happen again. Do you know that Rwandans no longer call each other Tutsi or Hutu? Rwandans learnt something from the genocide that has helped them shape their future.
You should read what is written not what you want to hear, and always defending what should not be defended.
Rwandans do not call each other Tutsis or Hutu because they have moved on. If you read what I have said instead of defending stupidity you would realise learning from your mistakes means that you do not make the same mistake again.
How many stories do you read on this page that are about how this country can improve? The majority of the stories are about mistakes that Dr Banda made, Bakili made, Bigu made and Peter is making, are we learning from those mistakes? NO! we just like talking about them.
Rwanda learned from its mistakes.
People like you just enjoy gossip.
Stupid he had leaked this himself I mean stupid ntata..what am getting out of this is that mr ntata is not a trust worthy person to hold office in the political arena that requires top secrecy and loyalty. One thing mr ntata must know that this DPP will not accommodate him neither is getting any position nope. Kicks of a dying horse..only trying to save your ass..sir if bingu was in the wrong why is that it had to take to runway after he passed on not the time he was alive. Search me ntata
Reading the post Garvey you have already shown your side. At least I have known on whose side you are. It dies not help matters. You either generate interest for those also on your side or frustrate those who just wanted to see neutrality in the post. You lost me already because you are not neutral.
Leaking of state security documents is treasonous as is espionage. Frustration should nit lead to this. Why then did Mr.Ntata not bring this out to the public when Bingu was alive? Or else he should have resigned. I have no respect for Ntata in view of this leakage of state secrets.
Damn ntata us good
I think Mr. Z Allan Ntata is childish and very immature. He can be arrested because of releasing such confidential information. This is so because he swore under oath for secrecy. He is not obliged by whatever means to reveal such information to the media or any other person. He is behaving as if he is not a lawyer
First of all it is ntata who has leaked this memo basing on the fact that the principal in this case Bingu had responded to the memo meaning it was returned to him so there is all evidence here that ntata was in custody of this memo as such he is liable for breach of secrecy.
Too late to save his image. Ntata is already a devil in the eyes of Malawians. He victimized Malawians at a time they needed him to stop his stupidity on state media
The prose of this article is simply admirable. However, it does not pinpoint anything save for a trait of painting Z Allan Ntata in good light for nothing.
That Ntata was Bingu’s adviser is of universal knowledge as such we expect some of his advice to be plausible.
However, as he was busy advising his boss, Ntata was parading himself on MBC TV churning trash against his very advice in the background.
If you look at the memo, this was the same time Ntata was busy insulting Malawians on the national TV. Had he tried to bring out these memos that time, may be people would have a different picture about him.
Leaking State House documents just to continue fighting APM is childish. Try other PR gimmicks Allan, this one is not good enough
Za ziiiiii! very stale
Once again Mtata is just exposing his own shallow mind and complete lack of ethics. Any Lawyer knows that it is completely unprofessional to leak and publish memos that one sends to the head of state, that is why they are called confidential.
By the way what is he trying to prove here? Because he gave the obvious advice that people shouldn’t be arrested willy nilly (advise that even a dog could give), and the late president didn’t disagree or say that people should be arrested without cause. The president in his response merely states that nobody is above the law which again is obviously correct. Being arrested is not an issue if you are suspected to have broken the law.
The only thing that is controversial here is Mtata leaking a confidential presidential memo that he unethically smuggled to the UK when the late president died. This memo is not Mtata’s personal property, but should belong to the office of the legal advisor as part of the records. You dont steal such documents when you leave office, unless you are a crook.
As the saying goes “Give a man enough rope, and he will hang himself”. You have started to hang yourself Mtata.
Breach of oath of secrecy iyoo. Ntata all along i thought you are smart and shrewed. Being a lawyer you were supposed to know the consequences.
