HRDC raps Chakwera, ‘not transformative after all’ but rather talk-talk
For the first time since the Tonse Administration took power, the Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) has made a stinging attack on President Lazarus Chakwera describing him as “not transformative after all.”
In a statement issued Wednesday in which HRDC has commented on the K6.2 Covidgate, status of the Tonse Alliance, Malawi Energy Regulatory Authority (Mera/National Oil Company of Malawi (Nocma) US$50 million deadlock, the human rights body says it feel the President is “not angry enough” to lead the country and that Chakwera seems not to be transformative after all.
HRDC in the statement urges President Chakwera to walk the talk in “clearing the rubble” that he has repeatedly promised Malawians that he would do so.
“For instance, the rubble hasn’t been cleared at the Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) despite the courts finding several officers at fault. The rubble hasn’t been cleared at Nocam where you said you supported public concerns that the acting CEO was a known operative of the Democratic Progressive Party,” reads the statement in part.
HRDC also takes to task the Chakwera administration for not showing any direction on fulfilling manifesto promises that propelled them to power including; the one million jobs for the youth, K75 billion loans for the youth and women, free water and electricity connection and duty free week.
In view of this, says the statement signed by HRC chairperson Gift Trapence, the Tonse Alliance leadership must jointly address Malawians on the state of the alliance in reference to the joint and consolidated manifesto that Malawians voted for, among other demands.

Do you know that all the drama that is taking place the 6.2 billion and what have you, all these are driven by Chilima? This crook is dangerous. People may think he is quiet but he is playing hide and seek. He feels it is enough of his suffering after assisting Chakwera to ascend to the highest position. He feels Chakwera has damped him. That’s how Zeze is like. Chakwera will have tough time to rule this country.
Ndiye akuchita bwinotu. Akuulula umbava. He should keep it up
Only the last Paragraph makes sense.
Chilima. Where are you?
But saying that the NOCMa acting CEo is known DPP operative is very stupid. Malawi is democratic and any body is free to belong to any party. Trepense you are stupid and useless.
Abusa apenga
On the issue of this k6.5 Billion, why is the president only calling for expenditure reports now???
Surely one would expect that these reports should’ve been of normal interest to the President without waiting for Malawi to cry foul and then the President starts calling for reports. Expenditure reports MUST be business as usual for the President.
Malawi, unatani?

Mwazionera nokha

Don’t get it twisted. Just because we don’t like what Chakwera is doing, doesn’t mean we wish DPP was still here. DPP is still manyi and may they never come back.
What changed was the colour, from Blue to the mixed colours of tonse alliance…..what we are experiencing is not what we were expecting…..& HRDC shld just keep quite….mukayambaso mademo muzikayenda nokha…..you want to use us again to find your personal gains like what Mtambo has achieved….don’t confuse us, we are waiting for 2025 Zeze azitinyamulireso matumba
But better than the blues and we thank God that they are going.
Kkkkkk kulira kwawankulu chisoso chitamulowa maso yekha
Politics is just a game, i don’t blame anyone, i blame myself for putting them in power, Chakwera nd devil osekelera tikapanda kuganiza bwn tonse titha.
There are still outstanding MEC & DPP crimes of unbelievable scale, but this President seems so uninterested in pursuing them or justice. He doesn’t want to interfere; he says!
Now he’s attacking his own government with audits while the Jane Ansahs and Alfandikas keep enjoying government salaries and benefits. Koma ya!!!!!!!
Talk about KuBleya on the job!

DPP shall never come to power again,they are wasting their time by waging propaganda in every aspect.Trapence lacks patience he is a myopic, unstable guy,
Some of us knew that this pair can’t take us to Canaan. Sometimes God deliberately change things to make us realize the mistakes we make in life. Am afraid this is one good example. Most Malawians are regretting for supporting the devil.
This is just the beginning. Mark my words.
The president seems overwhelmed.
What is stopping him from clearing the rubble at MEC?
The President and VP should hold press conferences and answer questions. We are tired on hot air with no action to follow. No questions No press statement.
Why hasn’t there been follow up on MEC?
Why hasn’t MEC chair started an audit of what happened with BDO, Tippex, ghost users, and the rest?
Why is Alfandika still running elections despite both the courts and parliament saying he is incompetent?
We don’t want to hear NO INTERFERENCE. If that’s your stand, then please promptly resign and let SKC take the reins because we don’t want this country to be running on auto-pilot.
Much of this noise is being started by disgruntled UTM carnival barkers and DPP cadets who were never on board with the Alliance in the 1st place; but it’s only because you have given them a vacuum to fill. This is just tragic. Chakwera is a good man but mmmmmh, a Bwana, you lack a sense of urgency.
Which SKC? The son of Mr Tik Tok whose whereabouts are still unknown? Tingovotanso apa this Ndekha Alliance is not promising at ALL.

I must be honest. I didn’t vote for Tonse Alliance because of the 1 million jobs promise or Youth fund or some such garbage. My main reason for voting was the promises to rid the country of corruption, plunder of taxpayers money, thieving and bad governance. What I am seeing so far does not inspire confidence and unless the president displays toughness in dealing with mediocrity, I am afraid 2025 could be an uphill task.
People are wondering about the competence of the office of SPC, the goings on at NOCMA, suspicions related to some cabinet ministers, why the SPC should chair the Egenco and NOCMA Boards, progress on current corruption cases etc, etc. What’s going on for heaven’s sake?
Very true Chakwera 8s very slow to act this cou try is going to the dogs,maybe this will be a wake up call for Chakwera to wake up frm his slumber. It seems he’s very slow and sleepy on the job
U all heard him saying he will fire anyone for.d to have messed up the 6.2 billion.really only fire??why not hit the table and say u will rot in prison and all your assets will be forfeited to gvt in an angry manner??? We put chakwera as president to do something new and propell our country to new and greater heights but the way hes steering the ship as of now is kugona kwambiri
Iam equally not pleased wth the snails pace this government is taking in dealing with MEC staff rulled out by court to be competent & who abused funds as well and also at NOCMA, DODMA etc
It took a day to know the Leader in Bingu Wa Mutharika. Say what you can people but Bingu was a man. Awa kusiya ubusa was a big mistake because that’s exactly where he belonged. I wonder if he won’t be the second worst president after Bakili. I thought JB was but we’ll see how it ends
Many reasons why Chakwera is slow/procastinating: he may not be conversant with the detailed government machinery and is failing to figure out what is going on; too many of his advisors are bulldasting him leaving him yet more confused in the cobweb; he may know what is going on and that he is part of the deliberate money making drive to retire a wealthy man.What ever is happening, the man is fighting with fires. One can see from the many signs that the man is stressing.
HRDC is right and should be supported by all Malawians who have the interest of the country in their hearts. Citizens of donor countries now have donor fatigue and we cannot afford to waste our meagre resources through unpunished corrupt activities. Chakwera should be held to a higher standard. Let the demos that took place not go to waste by letting Chakwera sleep on the wheel. If he is not performing, he should be out before the end of his term.
This is what HRDC wanted.Only wanted to remove DPP from power out of hate.KKKKK Lero ndeziti.HRDC just helped Timothy Mthambo to secure a lucrative job with MCP.I believe Gift Trapence is just jealous of his boss,Mtambo.I pitty Southerners who were in the fore front insulting their own sibling Peter.Tonse used you to topple your own sibling.KKK But look were Peter is now.He is just enjoying his lake breeze.Apapa nde MCP mimvetse zenizeni kkk.Chilima mukumumva kutokota momwe amachitila muja kkk,Lero ndalama zikubedwa muthumba muli mwawo kkk
I didn’t know that all those promises were ALL lies. Shame. Ine pano Chakwera anayamba kundibhowa. All what he knows is talking, talking and talking full of empty promises. 1million jobs, young and women empowerment, Cabinet Reshuffle after thr period he lied to Malawians, development, change in Civil Service the list is endless. Four years to General Elections, we shall see.
I personally support the hrdc on the ground of corruption not being change chakwera he doesn’t walk in his promises and I don’t know why chilima he doesn’t stand up to whistle blower about corruption state house is full of family so it makwera to displine his family until he fall down
We curse those judges every day
Cavuto, kumene ukuchitaku ndi kulira mokuwa kwa Cadet.
Ubwino wakhe ndiwoti, tose tikuvutikira limodzi, palibe zoti awa ndiwa kongiresi , kaya DPP, kaya UTM tose mavuto basi, zavuta.
The more things change, the more they remain the same. The Tonse Alliance had one goal and only goal, that is, to remove DPP from power. After that, they do not have a clear goal. Can anyone point to ONE thing, just ONE, that Tonse has done since they got to power. Everything they have done is just routine work that any village charlatan would have done if they were in power. Broken promises, lost trust, corruption of mega proportion, etc is now the order of the day.
100pin tax free band – what about that? Do you need another thing ndionjezere?
mwana wa chipwaza
How much has that added to your net pay? Tchula zina ziwiri
just the increase in cooking oil can erode the benefits from the tax band.
100 pin tax free band was eroded immediately by fuel increase afana. Tachula zina, osati demotion by promotion, decrease by increase yako iyi. Lol.
90% of most workers in Malawi receive less than 100 pin, ma 55 pin omwewa. That 100 pin tax free band is benefiting the already privileged people.
Do not deceive people. It was k45, 000.00 free of tax before. The additional has only been K55, 000.00 free of tax to make it k100, 000. In terms of real money saving that is completely nothing. The saving of tax from K55, 000.00 is about K13, 000.00 per annum. That means monthly on your payslip you will get about K1000. 00 more. An increase of K1000 on your salary per month is it worth? Can you buy bread? How many breads? Stop deceiving people and check with your accountant or an economist what K55, 000.00 means in terms of money value in real terms
Let’s face it, removal of DPP from power was not only Tonse Alliance goal. 58%+, Malawians, including me, wanted it that way. Luba kwabasi, nkhanza kudzera kwa ma cadets, corruption (including K145m Karim) etc. Yes, DPP had to go and this was the greatest National achievement.
Amtete, we all know kuti DPP had its own problems but the question is: Aftter removing DPP, then what? The 2020 elections only served to create a vacuum, a void, a big black hole, and now the country is sinking in it.
