Jappie invites HRDC for meeting over allowances scandal

Minister of Health Jappie Mhango has the Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) for a meeting over the coronavirus allowances scandal.

Minister of Health Jappie Mhango has invited HRDC members to a roundtable discussion on Monday next week to iron out thorny issues bordering on alleged pocketing of Covid-19 allowances and attempts by Mhango and Minister of Information Mark Botomani to cover up the issue.

A letter from Mhango to HRDC says the meeting will take place on Monday in Lilongwe.

The meeting is expected to iron out thorny issues bordering on alleged pocketing of Covid-19 allowances and attempts by Mhango and Minister of Information Mark Botomani to cover up for the same.

The invitation follows a letter HRDC wrote the two ministers on Thursday  to resign or face protests and court action.

The letter states that the discussion will help the activists understand the Covid-19 allowance issue better.

HRDC chairperson Gift Trapence has confirmed receipt of the letter and indicated that he will attend the meeting just to hear the ministers out.

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.

  1. One cannot chew poor of the poorest tax money as if it is part of his grandfathers deceased estate.No no no we are very tired and we will hunt you dead or arrive before we get you out of Government on 2nd July through a vote.

  2. Don’t accept the invitation. You just can’t put it past these dpp chaps that they have a sinister motive. They are up to no good. They will seize the opportunity to silence anyone who is a pain in their ass. Trapence and his crew ranks up there on the ‘wanted list.’

  3. Y can’t u explain to the nation through mbc n other media. Calling for a round table meeting with one group is a sign of trying to buy simpathy

    1. but that does not give him the mandate though he is doin a good job.
      he goofed still period

  4. The rot in Malawi is from top down. It’s a shame that small fry get burnt to death for stealing a chicken to feed family whilst big fish steal millions in broad daylight with no attempt to cover up and gets away with it expecting no questions from anyone. Only in Malawi 🇲🇼 Step down please.

  5. Kodi HRDC who are you? Takutoperani kwabasi there is no single day when we heard you mwakaperekako ma mask or sanitizer kwa anthu aemene you claim you represent. Mkwezalamba wanena kuti he did the investigation and found that there is nothing of that sort and has asked everyone to go through the same books he has checked. So its better HRDC pena pake kumeza mate musayese kuti ndinu machacha NO! NO! NO! we are tired of you time is coming you shall reap what you are planting. Mmalo moti muyamikire APM for listening to ur concerns to include oppostion parties, religious leaders, etc mwayamba kusaka ziukwa zina koma anthu inu chibomba koma chikugwireni basi kumangofunira anzanu zoipa nthawi zonse kodi munatani eeeeeeee kaya ndithu! shame on you God will judge soon!

    1. Are you backing thieves? You must be stupid. I we video clip ija sunanvere? Ndiwe opusa

    2. God will judge you too
      The president is doing his job Ndiye mufuna azimuyamikira kuti watani, the mask you say HRDC can give is not equivalent to what this ministers are getting as an allowance…. HRDC is fighting this stupid Ministers oti saona posusa, Pali ponse adyepo basi… Mtima wakuba

    3. To your question, ‘HRDC who are you?’ Ask yourself this, would you have been worse off or better off with lockdown? If your answer is ‘worse off’ then you know that HRDC are fighting for your rights, and these are the rights of all Malawians no matter political affiliation. I see that DPP supporters with their blind support, if they see anything that is seen as being to the disadvantage of the ruling elite, despite seeing merit in the HRDC efforts, tend to take things personally and unfairly attack the human right defenders.
      If your answer to my question was that you would have been better off in the lockdown, then be unselfish, and think of those people, not just in villages, but even in towns that cannot afford to stock up food for 21 days.

    4. Why should they distribute masks? Do they collect our taxes? You’re an idiot

    5. Jappie waitana HRDC not vice versa.etini!!!

      AIKA MA FIGURES????Tyeni tiikambilane bwino.
      under pitala ulamulilo. zibwana

    6. A chataika Inu nde zukusangalatsani zoti anthu aziba ndalama za covid mmbomamu ???don’t use God’s name on stupid stuff like what you have just commented(fraud) ..Hrdc is doing it’s work … That’s why it’s called human right defendant coliation . Akutimenyela ufulu …leave HRDC to do it’s work … Infact congratulations HRDC mbava zobela a Malawi muthane nazo .kumuyamikila APM doesn’t mean that HRDC isagwile ntchito yake …sizikugwilizana…Iweyo nde u need God intervention

    7. Not HRDC’s job to give sanitizers and masks. HRDC never received any Covid response funds from WHO,IMF, or WB. They do not have access to our tax funds. The government does and it has the responsibility to do that. Educate yourself, or stop ignoring facts. Maybe you are also one of the beneficiaries of the misappropriation? Wake up brother! Malawi is 100 years behind time in development! One should not be thanked for doing the job they are paid to do. More so if they are failing to do their job. Malawi remains the 4th poorest country in Africa and it’s getting worse every day because of poor governance and corruption, and the poverty mentality from individuals like yourself.

  6. No more meetings, just refund the money, you already denied drawing any allowances while actually, you were, that’s taking Malawians as fools…..just refund the money no more tricks.

    What do you want new information do you want to share during that meeting…..no more tricks just refund the money please….thanks.
