JB body guards still have security objects: Malawi ex-president goes abroad
Spokesman of former President Joyce Banda has said her security is intact dismissing a newspaper report that government has disarmed her security personnel.
Andekuche Chanthunya denies telling The Nation newspaper which reported the story that Banda’s security is compromised ahead of the 2019 Tripartite Elections.
Chanthunya denies confirming to the paper that the body guards from Malawi Police have been disarmed.
He told Nyasa Times that the security objects have not been seized from the security detail of Banda, fondly called JB.
The Constitution does not state the number of guards to be provided to a former president upon leaving office.
Meanwhile, Nyasa Times understands that the country’s first female president has left the country on an international tour of duty.
She is expected back in the country to bid for another run for the presidency next year.
The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) government which ousted Banda from power in 2014 is reportedly taking on her to divert attention amid allegations of corruption against the Mutharika administration.
Mutharika’s government issued an arrest warrant for Banda last July for alleged complicity in the so-called Cashgate scandal during her brief tenure as president between 2012 and 2014.
Banda has always claimed that Cashgate took off under the presidency of her predecessor Bingu wa Mutharika – brother of the current incumbent – and that she had nothing to do with it.
Ayambaso zoyendayenda koma mayiyu atitopetsa
JB has gone to see TB Joshua again? For what?
The true stories from the lie mongering Malawi media is the Malawi CSOs biaseness. Unless they say and do something about the ultra expensive house being constructed at maula and the illegal water connection at MCP headquarters in Lilongwe, they should not be allowed to rebuke anybody in this country. Even Public Affairs Committee has never said anything on these two vices. Them too should not be allowed to rebuke anybody in this country.
Had similar things were done by APM and his mighty DPP, pastoral letters would have been flying left and right.
This time any attempt by these notorious agents of the opposition to disturbilize this country will face resistance from some of us who see this open biaseness by opposition tilted CSOs and Public Affairs Committee.
APM you have delivered and a second mandate is yours. This is the reason why those who were cheating themselves that they were popular and their agents are trying their best to avoid chisankho and opting shortcuts to get into government. Zimenezi sizitheka. Ifenso dzikoli ndi lathu and no one appointed them to represent us. Malawians agreed in 2014 to have APM handle the affairs of this country on their behalf. I SALUTE YOU, APM.
Why should we discussing security details of an Ex president in the media that not the right thing to do aMalawi anyway happy independency day
MCP take note that DPP is using jb to foil your strategy. On eleventh hour she will endorse pitala.
Wathawanso Abiti Cashgate?
Don’t believe what the media says – it’s full of Fake news.
Another sojourn away from Malawi, abale? Again running away … ?
Simply unacceptable unless she’s gone for medical treatment.
All the allegations are just cosmetic. DPP a crowd of escapists. Dark clouds on the 2019 political horizons the best manifesto is to launch propaganda against biti Ntila the nation will lose focus on its prince of corruption ask pioneer investments. Please call Chilumpha over treason the Khumbo Kachali over Mponela hospital beds the Saulosi for the chilima roadshow look at them all have drunk from the poisoned gourd Veep Malewezi has been to the quick sands harassments
Shame on Malawi media.
why?
