Govt dismiss Chilima charges: Challenge Malawi VP to bring evidence of Macra, MRA abuse of public resources
Government has said UTM Party presidential candidate Saulos Chilima should substantiate his allegations that Malawi Revenue Authority (MRA) and Malawi Communications Regulatory Authority (Macra) are abusing of public resources to fund the governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) election campaign with evidence.
Chilima, who is also the country’s Vice-President but quit DPP last June to launch his presidential bid, told a political campaign rally in Blantyre on Sunday which was televised that bosses at MRA and Macra are funding the campaign of the ruling party using what they are calling ‘special operations’ fund.
He warned that those bosses “will be held personally liable” when there is change of government.
The State vice-president also claimed to be aware of other parastatals involved in the same practice and pledged to reveal their names during his forthcoming rally in Kasungu.
But Minister of Information and Communications Technology Henry Mussa, who is the official government spokesperson, said in a statement made available to Nyasa Times that the claims by Chilima are “false.”
“Government would like to remind Dr Saulos Chilima that his habit of telling lies with the aim of gathering voters is shameful and beneath the office of Vice President,” reads a statement from Mussa.
Mussa said the books of the MRA and Macra are audited and challenged Chilima to produce “just a single audit report that indicated or suggested the institutions are funding political activities of the DPP.”
The government spokesman warned Chilima to “stop this pettiness of making wild allegations against innocent public officers and organs of State.”
The Minister said government will be “forced to get into his [Chilima] cupboard and flash his skeletons out.”
Mussa said Chilima is “desperate and trying hard, including through telling lies, to sell his so called transformative agenda which rides on the promise that in the event of him forming government public resources will not be mismanaged.”
However, Mussa accused Chilima that he is currently mismanaging public resources by receiving a salary of the Vice President and using other public resources like vehicles and security while he absconds from duty.
He accused Chilima of holding “personal grudges” against some individuals at MRA and MACRA “which date back to the time he was in the private sector and which also registered during the time he chaired the Malawi Public Service Commission.”
Reads the statement: “These people are being targeted because he has personal scores to settle with them for reasons that are demeaning to reveal.”
Mussa said Chilima should be kindly reminded that the politics of retribution and threats is not transformative and has no place in democratic Malawi.
“The public is assured that no public resource is being used to sponsor any activity of the DPP,” he said.
But Chilima said his UTM Party “know everyone who is involved” in the abuse of funds in State institutions and that the controlling officers should brace themselves to account for the funds in the event of a shift of power after the May 21 2019 Tripartite Elections.

Chilima can’t produce evidence and he doesn’t have to. Such information can easily be provided by office messengers for free.
Ine magalimoto ya UTM ndikumawaona ngati ndi a Mount Meru😂😂😂😂😂
Here I praise you let not the government lose much money just because the elections and civil servants get no payment in May.Squeeze them to save public money.
SKC said he gets funding from some people in DPP so he also is getting funds from Macra and Mera. Only problem is maybe zambiri zikupita ku DPP. Akaba 100mita mwina the SKC group in DPP akumangopezako ka 10mita ndiye wakwiya. Otherwise name the officers involved.
He did said people not macra koma enawa
Why and why should Govt keep skeletons? How many skeletons are they keeping? What and how many skeletons are they protecting? Boma lakuba, that is what the DPP Government is. They are the same with UTM. Aliyense kuopseza mzake kuti amuulura. MCP is taking over Government, inu zimenyanani komanso zibisanani.

WHAT CAN ONE EXPECT FROM THE LOMWELIZED MRA AND MACRA MANAGEMENT AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS?
THE DPP THAT MALAWIANS OF INTEGRITY KNOW CAN NEVER NEVER TRUST A MAN OF INTEGRITY NEITHER TO HEAD MRA NOR MACRA . EVYLIN MWAPASA A QUALIFIED ACCOUNTANT AND ONE OF THEIR OWN WITHIN MLAKO WA ALOMWE WAS CHASED AWAY FROM MRA AND ESCOM BECAUSE SHE COULD NOT TOLERATE WHAT THE CURRENT BOSSES OF MRA AND MACRA ARE DOING.
LET HENRY MUSSA WAIT FOR CHILIMA TO REVEAL THE DETAILS OF THE PAYMENTS THEN THE DPP SUPPORTERS WILL SHUT UP THEIR MOUTHS.
IT IS NOT A SECRET THAT MACRA HAS BEEN PAYING FOR DPP CAMPAIGN MATERIALS JUST LIKE IT IS NOT A SECRET THAT THE INSTITUTIONS MENTIONED BY VICE PRESIDENT SAULOS CHILIMA ARE TOO LOMWELIZED FOR SELFISH REASONS.THIS IS THE TIME FOR DPP TO BE ACCOUNTABLE, MRA AND MACRA ARE NOT MLAKO WA ALOMWE ESTATES.
Mussa you’re right, why can’t he report it to be investigated. I know Malata, he is a discipline man. Wherever he has worked he has performed well . I know him from Limbe Leaf where he worked with Morgan Tembo, He isaman of integrity. Let Chilima bring the evidence, than barking like a rabid dog. He first cheated that once elected he will reveal the people involved in cashgate. If he was saying the truth he would have revealed them now but it shows the cannot be taken serious. Just waste time.
Inuuuuuuuuu. You have no idea what influence politicians have. You bring evidence to ACB and it gets trampled on and nothing happens. The forensic audits into cashgate revealed a lot of culprits why do you think some of them are still walking scott free and their cases have not been taken to court???? Some have served their jail terms of 5years and are due to be released when some still haven’t been committed. so you reckon if SKC reported it would have helped???
Chilima ndi DPP ndiamozi …The smoke screen is a part of. He’s said himself is getting funding from DPP for UTM campaign & sokuona chilakwika… Masamu ndi amenewa a Malawi. We’re not fooled by these DPP cronies masquerading as good men.
Chilima whether you like it or not, the competition is between DPP and MCP. It is obvious DPP will carry the day. Peter managed to win when he was out of government, when Joyce Banda was in full force distributing cattle and when Atupele was real Ung’ono ung’ono and Chakwera as a new comer after Tembo had more support in the central region with too much competition in the south. Peter by then was not well known but this time with the many developments he has done, no doubt he is winning. Chilima just know that your failure will be your down fall because nobody will employ you, neither will you become a future president nor you will do successful business. This means you will only rely on your pension as former vice president. That’s the end oy you my dear Arafat Hamdan
Mwayambapo a DPP kunjenjemera. Well, more rot will be revealed
Bwana atulutseni ma skeleton a Arafat Hamdani Saulosi Klaus Chilima tiwaone. Aaaahh…asamangotinamiza apa kuti ndi Mr Kilini n’kaladi ameneyu…aaaah.
In the first place Chilima is talking to MRA & MACRA bosses that they should stop advancing financial resources to DPP in order to help DPP realize funds for campaigning. Why should Government quickly come in to refute? At MRA & MACRA they have their PA’s they can defend themselves, they do not need the cult looking Henry Mussa to speak for them.
An if they are looking for evidence I wonder what evidence because Chilima himself is evidence, He know what he has seen and heard probably. So Tembenu a Lawyer as you are you should know that witnesses are part of evidence, so Chilima is witnessing that MRA & MACRA are giving money to support DPP campaigning and you want evidence SURE?
It is sometimes inappropriate to call someone foolish or a fool, but when one deemed wise behaves like one, I don’t know how we should describe him, your guess is as good as mine.
I am not surprised know, this is why APM settled for Chimulirenji leaving out the likes Tembenu & Mussa, I means these guys are just proving to us that they more of sycophants. Anyways your time is up we will meet each other on the otherside after elections when you become just like us.
demeaning to reveal kkkkkkkkk
Frustrated cilima aunt she got no idea the whole world has seen watched her arrogacy mwina she thot aona ndi omwe anali naoo pa nthawiyo. She will b disapounted.
Pls cilima unearth the rot. A mw tinazolowera zosisita munthu. Why do we hate the truth.
Aunt a cilima za kubanja kwanu ndi za kwanu if u dint get u wanted from him. U know ,every strory has 2 sides. Musadzacite manyazi. Old woman looking to be 2 good. Muyaluka nazo izi.
Mussa is becoming more dull and useless, Chilima cannot sink so low to tell the country of the money DPP is getting from MACRA & MRA because of individual personal grudges. Wanenatu kuti ngati muli ndi mafuso you know where he stays. I can see many of you DPP thieves running away on 22/05/19
Anakuuzani kale Atupele za chilima kuti he wants to go into government to revenge . Ali ndi nkhwizi mu mtima mwake. Even her own aunt pansipe told the nation . Unfortunately he is not wining the election. The writing is clear on the wall that DPP will carry the day. MCP second and utm third . Udf fourth . Wait and see.
Maybe on your wall.
Anyamata a DPP amathamangila press conference kutsutsa nkhani yomwe amadziwa kuti pali chilungamo, wait Chilima wati surtday atiuza
Chilima ndi mbava – he is getting money without working.
His job is to be VP. What else do you want
This is senseless….
Mukumukaniza ndi kumubisira ntchito – a Pumbwa okuba inu. Chilima is no nonsense! Muzavina ina okuba nonse Chilima akazakhala President. Mwagwa nayo.
So if Chilima has personal grudges it means there is no smoke without fire. Even if he brings evidence now u will simply say akunama angodana ndi anthu a MRA. Ndiye kuti anthuwo anabwera kudzadandaula kuti mukuwayika mmavuto powaudza kuti adzikupatsani ndalama. Whatever the case DPP gets money from almost all parastatals. What I know from my spiritual magic is that DPP will not be in government. Chilima has pined DPP down like rats
Amussa mudzanthawatu inu ,Atidyanawo Atembenu mudzathawatu
STOP STEALING GOVT MONEY, MULIBE MANYAZI KODI? ONE DAY MUZASANZA NDALAMA ZIMENEZI, INGOBWEZANI MMENE MUNABWEZELA 145 MILLION IJA

Am I right
Za KIA zilipata ndalama za lift plz plz.
Za mapasipoti zilipati?
Please be serious,. Mr mussa have good day
THIS YOUNG MAN WILL GET THE SHOCK OF HIS LIFE IN 4 WEEKS TIME
Nobody cares about your response Henry Mussa, you are as useless as the rest of your fellow ministers. Just stop getting funding from MRA and MACRA and also desist from getting parastatals like Escom to print billboards with APM and DPP slogans. Tatopa nanu.
CHILIMA SAKUNAMIZIRANI AGARU INU ADPP MUKUTENGA NDALAMA ZATHU ZAMISONKHO KUNGOTI CHILUNGAMO CHIMAWAWA
What chilima is saying has some truth. I am speaking from an insider point of view!!!!!!!!! You can try to hide the evidence but it is bare for everyone to see including details of how this is done including details of accounts transactions Onongani komanso ziwani!!!!!
Chilima wayamba kulira. Mumati mutani inu a UTM. Mwachepa ndinu makhanda ndipo ndikuuzeni kuti simungawine chisankho. You will not even be the main opposition party.
Why not allow the accused to respond themselves ? when did government begun to defend the accused ?
if what Chilima is saying is not true, why can’t you sue him for defamation of character?
You don’t need an audit report as evidence of fraud sir.
DDP ndi Henry Mussa wanuyo ndi mbava zokhazokha,mulibe ndi manyazi womwe mbava , munayamba kale kutibera ndalama za misoknho yathu,
UTM and CHILIMA BOMA come May 21 2019.
Boma likamumanga muyambe kulira kuti akufuna amusokoneze mavoti….munthu woluza ndikaleyu
