HRDC gives Cabinet ministers Botomani and Mhango 7 days to resign
Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) has called for an imediate resignation of Minister of Information Mark Botomani and Minister of Health,Jappie Mhango for abuse of Covid-19 funds and trying to cover-up the same.
The ministers have been given a seven-day ultimatum to resign.
A letter signed by HRDC chairperson Gift Trapence, National Coordinator Luke Tembo and all regional leaders, addressed to the two ministers, the activists said they are disappointed but furious at their selfish and heartless behavior and have lost trust and respect in the two.
The letter has been coppied to the Office of the President and Cabinet (OPC), Chief Secretary, Minister of Disaster Management Affairs and Public Event, ACB, Speaker of Parliament, the British High Commissioner, United Nation Development Program and European Union in Malawi.
“You have displayed a behavior unbecoming of the noble and honorable office that you hold. Just the other day Mark Botomani, you were on Times Television lying to the nation that you and your team are not drawing allowances from the Covid 19 pot only to be caught on camera conniving with your colleague to cover up the racket.
“This is scandal of the highest proportion. You do not deserve to continue holding the office you are holding. It is more disheartening and heartless of you to note that while the Covid 19 budget is already in red and you and your colleagues are busy cashing in on the pandemic,” reads part of the letter
The activists question the two ministers logic to swindle Covid-19 fnds when frontline health workers lament in vain the need for essentials to effectively do their jobs while they go around the country spending millions that are supposed to buy PPEs for the health providers.
HRDC said the acts by the ministers have not only soiled their reputation and that of the office that they are holding but that of government and the president at large.
Among others, the activists are demading that the ministers should refund the money that they have pocketed so far and that should they defy the resignation call, HRDC will proceed with other remedies including demonstrations and/or vigils at the Ministry of Information.
Apart from seeking legal advise, the activists have also indicated their desire to write the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) to institute a thorough investigation into this scandal.
Very funny where was HRDC when Chakwera was absconding parliament but still getting benefits??? Where were they when Chilima gets paid despite not working?? Foolishness. Hrdc is run by very stupid people.
If we had a credible president, he/she could not tolerate the malpractices done by these ministers. Unfortunately the so called our president like and shield crooks evidenced by his stand on MEC Commissioners.
The “chejumo” is the president himself. You can actually see from the type of minister he appoints, “anyamata otakata pa town”. Ben, Tchalo, Yappie, B,
Which credible person on earth could trust these individuals “running serious affairs” like that of a country? kkkkkk
It never rains but pours
Yeaaaaah pa Malawi pangokala tili tose.
masamu chess iyoooooo.
pitala kkkkkkkkkkk
That is how God does. To put secrets in the open.
I like Jappie Mhango. He is a great son of malawi but working for evil minds. Bottoman can go. He is been an empty tin. He can’t emulate Nankhumwa or Mwanamveka or Chimunthu Banda. He is in person destroying the image of our beloved leader. Whip him
Kusowa chochita. Inu ndiye aja ofunika kukhala pa lockdown.Game mwailuza. Ngati analephera Mtambo ndiye Inu tudzi.

Botomani masaya ngati chapati. Apa ndeuziti cha?
Tiye nawoni a pumbwa amenewa they have been taking Malawians for granted for far too long.
The problem is that, we have had a weak opposition in this country for a very time and this is why every party in power steal taxpayers money with impunity…….thanks to the HRDC for feeling the gap.
For how long will Malawians tolerate this thievery when we have people dying on our hospital beds due to lack of medicine and medical equipment?
How many more cashgates can Malawians put up with? Memories are still fresh of the….
K557 billion cashgate by DPP
K22 billion by PP
Tractorgate by DPP
Savings Bank salegate by DPP
Police uniformgate by DPP
Police recruitment cadetgate by DPP
K3 billion police ration gate by DPP
K30 billion cashgate during the last two months alone, by DPP
Livimbo & school land salegate by DPP
Power generators and fuelgate by DPP
K90 billion Admarc maizegate by DPP
Coronagate currently underway by DPP
Concourt judges briberygate by Mpinganjira & DPP
K11 billion Muligate currently in the pipeline
The list is endless and the patience of Malawians has now been tested to breaking point and something has to give, we cannot carry on like this.
Our country is bleeding and we need patriotic and selfless individuals to raise to the occasion just like our parents did against the colonial masters otherwise our nation is doomed forever.

Trying to remain relevant post mtambo era. Resigning is asking for fanta to turn into kuchekuche
Akuba okha okha including the top most man. Sakuonapo choipa apa its just business as usual with their toothless dog.
I’m not much on the issue of Ministers stealing money and or lying to the Nation, this is the way how the DPP Government runs its business.
My concern is on those poor Doctors and Nurses who were crying begging the same money which some one by the Title Minister who is the eye of the President in the Country was taking it home and or shopping in the Super Market.
I knew the demand by Doctors that it was not looking at the Pandemic but at Crooks called Ministers and I said it here.
I still have the same question, can we say the President doesn’t know what his eyes were and or are doing? Or he has decided to be blind deliberately? I repeat, his quite was to give chances these two Ministers to steal for him,he is not sick, he was in the Office, definitely communicating with the same Ministers since we are in an Emergency situation.
Prove me wrong by arrest these two bastards.
Mr President, this was a dangerous protocol.
ku maiko kwina awawa kuyambila tsiku lomwe lija amaonetsana chaima apa game muja sitinakawaonaso next thing kunali ku waona ku khoti. koma poti Pitala naye has no accountability ya ndalamazi mhuu.

Stop whining you idiots. Mwasowa zochita eti
Too much vindictive people. The ministers’ work on Covid-19 is separate work.
kodi gulu la 1st aid lili kutiko
Jealousy. You wanted to get the allowances yourself.
Fotseki. Leave these ministers to do their job
Yes, let us leave them to do their job of stealing. After all, who in Malawi does not know the people we are dealing with here.
