JB dismisses Kaliati’s ‘hallucinations’: ‘I do not follow Mutharika’

Gender Minister Patricia Kaliati is grossly misguided in her “hallucinations” to suggest that former President Joyce Banda “has a liking for following President Peter Mutharika wherever he goes”, Banda’s office has said.

Kaliati reportedly addressed a news conference in New York to “react to reports” that the former President is also scheduled to travel to the United States of America (USA) where President Mutharika will be attending the United Nations (UN) General Assembly.

“Without being seen to engage in a senseless battle of words with Hon. Patricia Kaliati, it is still important to correct the wrong impression advanced by Hon. Patricia Kaliati. It is saddening when the Minister, or indeed anyone, misrepresents facts about where the former Head of State is and what the motive (s) of her trips are. “Indeed, the President left the country on Monday, September 15, 2014 for South Africa. She is currently still in South Africa where she has been attending Board Meetings for the Joyce Banda Foundation International (Africa Initiative).

“It is therefore wrong and embarrassing for the minister to churn outright lies,” reads a press statement signed by Andekuche Chanthunya, Public Relations Officer for Banda and made available to Nyasa Times on Thursday.

According to the statement, the former President does not dream up her trips. While she is a free global citizen who is at liberty to travel at will, anywhere and at any time, her recent trips that have coincided with President Mutharika’s international engagements were on invitation.

“If it has happened before that the former Head of State was abroad and in the same territory as was President Mutharika, it must have been purely coincidental. It has nothing to do with the nonsense contained in Hon. Kaliati’s hallucinations,” reads the statement in part.

The Office of the Former President clarifies in the statement that former President Banda will indeed travel to the US where the UN General Assembly will take place next week. She will be there attending the Mary Robinson Foundation-Climate Justice meeting at the invitation of founder and chair, Mary Robinson.

Robinson is the seventh, and first female, President of Ireland who served from 1990 to 1997.

According to the statement, many other former Heads of State and Government will be in New York attending various meetings on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. For example, Gordon Brown, the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (UK) will be in New York. Former President of Nigeria Olusegun Obasanjo will be in New York attending various meetings. Former Presidents of United States, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton will also be in New York attending various meetings.

Reads the statement: “Does it follow then that since the incumbent US President Barack Obama will be attending the UN General Assembly, Presidents Bush and Clinton are ‘following’ him? That’s wayward reasoning.”

Concludes the statement: “The tag of being former President does not begin to deter Her Excellency Joyce Banda from fully enjoying rights as a bona-fide citizen of Malawi.  She is a global figure and citizen of the world who is free to travel to anyplace in the world at any time as long as she is not breaking any law. “

The statement said taking leave of the President before travelling as suggested by Kaliati is at the former Head of State’s discretion and not a constitutional obligation.

Banda’s office said Kaliati “must therefore come off her politically induced utopia”, saying s he must be encouraged to communicate facts instead of her imaginations.

  1. We Malawians in abject poverty deserve better minister not this headless junk,we need value for our money which u a blowing there nothing. If u a there for JB its very much unfotunate.

  2. I can’t remember when last kaliati has ever commented something sensible.She believes in getting favors from top brass through her stinking loud mouth.She has been worse than dogs in her behavior and altitude.Why can’t she leave Joyce Banda alone?Abiti Mtila is still a public figure,just like Bakili Muluzi,it’s whether one likes it or not.They in the likes of Chissano,Lupiya,Mogkale,Gordon Brown etc etc.A a ah,you people,why do you always want to show your total ignorance in public?Sshaaaaaaaa!

  3. Kaliati is right.This devil is trying herself to pull down prof.admministration so that people should judge him as a failure. She booteed out of govt but up to now she is not accepting. Shame on you!!! Believe me or not, malawians are not ready to allow this devil back into govt. NEVER!NEVER!!!Leave Peter alone and don’t dream of killing him as you did with BINGU. Satana iwe eeti!!!

  4. NO NO NO NO JB jb must indeed stop this behaviour.She actually trying all her best to flustrate peter and his administration so that they can be judged as failures. She’s still not believe that she booted out of Govt.Shame on you!!!.Whether you like or not, but believe that Malawians will never ever allow to be ruled by you again.Enough is enough!! your time is over DEVIL!!

  5. Zili zisankho tikanati opinion polls ikuoneka ngati JB ali ndi majority Akweni zawavuta. Koma ngsti a kweni ali ndi ma advisers, please advise her to cease fire. Akweni anthu atopa nalo kamwa lanu. I wonder what ur husband says about ur attitude. Mai kweni ayi ndithu zanyanya.

  6. Kodi a Kaliati kutimanga mumatimanga 8pm ku mukuona ngati tikukondwa? Muuzane mulengeze kuti tidzilekeza nthawi yanji kuyenda kusiyana ndiumbava mukutichitawu Government ambushing and robbing its own royal citizens first by DPP in free Malawii

  7. Kaliati usatinyase ndi Mr IBU wakoyo. JB is not visiting Ndata farm. When shall you Ngulu’s learnt to respect other people. Idiots.

  8. Mlomwe iwe, what is your problem? You people wanted to be in government and you’re indeed there. Instead of concentrating on issues of importance, you are busy castigating people who have not wronged you. Be careful, you are inviting a curse upon you. Kaliyati usaiwale, kuti pamene a Bingu amamwalira nkuti iwe utakangowonana nawo kumene; chitayo kapena chiyani? Peter kumene muliko mpaka kuno, muchenjere naye Patricia akuonongerani mbiri yachipani chanu. Ngwantayotu ameneyo. Malemu anu aja kuti adzipezeka moteromo ndi ………yu. Posachedwapa ngati osasamala tikhoza kukhala ndi masankho. ali ndi khutu amve.

  9. Anthu nonse amene mukuikira JB kumbuyo ndinu mbuzi. You don’t JB. She is very evil this woman. Nonse ndinu mbuzi zenizeni and you don’t know what you are talking about. Shut down your stinking proboscises.

  10. Leave Kaliati alone!!!
    Joyce, your friend ruled from 1990 to 1997 (7 year, ). Your friend came into power through the ballot as opposed to your “hand of the devil – Death”. Never have you won an election as a president yet your mouth is as loud as that of your fellow Patricia.

    As for me, kaliati is congruent to Joyce Banda (SSS)

    1. Jose JB was elected alogside Bingu which vote are you talking about? ill manners? Jb lost vote yes but that does not confine her of home bound bliss, if she has the money let her go for fresh air, Kaliati azaku zerezeketsani nonse, she is a fool

  11. Something big is wrong with Kaliati. She is afraid of her own shadow. I thought she has learnt a lesson after all she has been seeing other spokesperson talking sense in public. Pliz reason before you engage your mouth into gear. kikiki iwe ulipamapwito zedi. Kukonda kupezelana zifukwa nthawi zonse, wake up and behave chonde.

  12. Like I said in my last comment concerning this story, it is very sad that our Minister chose to make those remarks about the former president on foreign soil its a great embarrassment to the intelligence of the malawi Woman as well as all malawians. “Hallucinations” may indeed be the issue here I would strongly urge the minister to focus on matters of concern to the Nation not picking school ground fights with the former head of state please Hon’ Minister if at all you have some sense of pride help us fellow malawians with your intellect but PLEASE don’t burden us further with useless fights we already have many fights to win in our everyday lives here.

  13. Mayi kaliyati u went too far the best thing here is that come up in the open and apologise other wise thats a minus on dpp. Jb didnt wrong anyone worth rebuking.

  14. pachoka mzako pali malo, amene munamkana kuti sangakhale president, pano aUN amtola, sanakutengeni inu bwanji poti munali pa ulova nthawi yonseyi.? JB is highly ambitious woman, she z bcomin a global figure…zikuwawani ndi chani.? Asayende.? U got th mentality tht munthu akaluza basi akhale choseweresa muzimunyoza..? She z Not your level…u r just a govt barking dog..u cnt b more than tht..thanks kuti mwatenga mpando chifukwa chokumverani chisoni….u dnt evn deserv it..

  15. Kaliati kodi kusuta kapena chiani? monse muja udayambira muja kumunyoza JB JB zake phee. ali ndi ufulu opita kuli konse kumene akufuna

  16. Akweni just shut your mouth and keep quiet – do your job you are paid for. JB is going to attend so many meetings which according to reports invitation and acceptance were done a while ago before she even knew APM will go. Let JB travel freely

  17. Wide & big mouth is always full ndi mwano. look at kaliati’s mouth, so big and wide. needs two tongues at once to kiss. hehede! koma ziriko ku Mj ko.

  18. Stupid dull woman Kaliati leave JB alone,whatever noise you can make you can’t match her she is million miles away from you

  19. I hate this Kaliati woman to hell,she is actually a disgrace to this nation,she need to separate power from monthly period thinking,does she reason at all when speaking? Was she speaking as who because she is not even government spokesperson neither information minister? Am sure she has personal grudges with the former president but alas JB is not in her league anymore,she need to accord her with full respect as the former head of state

  20. What do you expect from a T2 teacher? She is typically dull can’t understand things,by the way why was she appointed into the cabinet? Are these not the same people that failed Bingu? Kaliati and DPP should learn how to respect Malawians they rigged election and they want to continue enslaving us? No,not this time again leave JB alone or you will face unspecified action that will lead to make your government completely fail.

  21. Kaliyati ndatitu unatikwa,sumva kodi?ukufuna uipitseso boma labwinobwinoli ndi mkamwa mwako moolamo…

  22. Amalawi nonsenu ndinu opepela kwambili inu kusankha munthu oti mavuto tsakuwaziwa borani nkaziyo ndiwoziwa zinthu a president anuwo ndi akuba akugwilanso ntchito ndi galu kaliati onsewo ntchito yawo ndikuvutisa amalawi

  23. Interesting Malawians always fight for the things which can not put bread on the table. JB is better than APM vice versa, really???? These are politicians there is none who is better they’re just politicians. What they do best is to play with people’s minds

  24. Kaliyati You are alright.all these People that are making noise here ,they dont have foresight.these People,in the likes of jb akweni distance yourself frm them.they are not good peoplem

  25. Thats why I always say that politics is for mbuli(dull people). Kaliat cant even understand what she is talking about. musiyeni ameneyu ndi mbuli basi. Joyce Banda has done alot. She is the our former president of the republic including Kaliat herself.

    What Kaliat has to know is that her end time is coming.

  26. DPP pliz why appointing this woman as aminister you mean to say that DPP cannot perform without her?ldont like this party coz of her.

  27. Your Excellency, don’t even pay Kaliati any mind. With that sort of attitude she will never hold the office of President. People need to to stop this accident President assertion as they will remember that you were elected alongside President Bingu wa Mutharika and by virtue of him dying mid way during his term and you being Vice-President, made you the rightful occupant to that office.

    Do you realise only uneducated people make foolish innuendos and comments about your ascendancy to that Office. Excellency, you served well and did what was necessary to save Malawi from collapse.

    Continue to serve our people with dignity and pride. Be proud to be called Former President, Your Excellency Dr Joyce Banda. Some will never have that designation.

  28. mai kaliyati pepani pepani ife tilibe nanu milandu koma pangani zanu please please please inu zomwe akupanga maiwa simungakwanitse ngakhale munkachedza limodzi nthawi ya munthu wankulu bakili muluzi nzanu mukalimbana naye mukulimbana ndiwolakwika chifukwa iye ndiye anapita kale ambuye anamudalisa inu nthawi yanu ikubwera ngatitu ilipo.

  29. Koma mbuli zinazi inu..munthu asayende??? & the FACT is JB has achieved much much more that Kaliati sungakwanitse ndipo sudzakwanitsa..BS!!!

  30. Kaliati, why don’t you concentrate on what you are thare for and please come back and tell the nation feedback because it seems like you don’t even know what you are there for, sounds like you have too much time to yourself

  31. Joyce Banda is bad enough but put her next to Kaliati…. JB shines! Hey guys! This is the Post Cash gate era now. All can walk free…All has been forgiven and forgotten, Did you notice? Now we’re merely getting titillated with JB-Kaliati mudslinging. Where are the Doners during all this??? Hello! Hello!! Anybody home?? They seem to have left!

  32. After making such a public gaffe plus embarassing President Mutharika and Malawians on an international platform, Patricia Kaliati has proven herself to be unfit for the Cabinet position she currently occupies.She should be publicly reprimaned by our head of state and subsequently fired, so that Malawi may finally be rid of this delusional woman.

  33. kaliati sangafanane ndi JB mtunda wa Malawi osati Mr. Ibu anuwo olephera kulankhula kaya ku UN ko anthu akamumva kaya munthu anakanika kumudula litata ali mwana amene uja. odi uko kagwereni

  34. It JB is still a national important figure. If anything goes wrong it is Malawi Government’s responsibility to take care of her. Kaliati is not wrong as others may think. She must notify the authorities that is the whole issue. Osati anafe timangoyenda ngati ntchentche zikationekera boma silingatithandize. Let us follow the government procedures please.

    1. Rasta,
      You are underestimating JB. Malawi government cannot take care of JB, they have not even stepped up to the plate yet. They will be people all over the world climbing over each other to help her. So Rasta please get a life!!!

  35. Andekuche Chanthunya?No wonder Misonzi Chanthunya wasn’t being repatriated!Akweni nanunso shut your proboscis up!!

  36. Kaliati is a fool who just wants to get people’s attentions on silly matters . Why of all the problems the country is currently facing then the whole cabinet minister complaining of the former head of state travels just because they have coincided with the current head of state who is also a thief for that matter. Don’t waste our time Kaliati find better things to do other than. Kulalata kwakoko.

  37. kodi JB chifukwa choti analephera ndiye kuti zache zathera pompo? is she a prisoner that she can not freely move around the globe? Amalawi ndale zanu zimandidabwitsa. Apita bwanji ku America president wathu ali komweko? Ulemu wamtundu chiani umenewo? America is a vast continent so you mean to say that ‘coz your president with his large entourage using tax payers money has gone there, JB should not go there. what’s that?paja mumadyera momo ndi ulemu wanu wabodzowo.

    1. Yako ndi imene yatha, JB still stand though she lost the election kusiyana ndi iwe oti atakuitana kuti ukalandire million ukakhala pa line.

  38. A Kaliati olo mutani mutani singafike pa JB, pa chuma, Makhalidwe ndi mbiri yomwe. Mbiri muli nayo inu ndiyomenya Mtsikana yemwe ankapeleka chimanga chophika kwa amuna anu.

  39. Kodi Kaliati ukulilalial chani…. APM ndi Katundu wako……..Anakakhala first lady akulilalila bola……. mwina amadyana JB and APM… kkkkkkkk

  40. This woman is good for Civil Society work, not running the Government. She is too shallow. PP, please replace this lady if you want to do better in the next elections. Time is running out. You have a lot of better people, whom Malawians are ready to follow.

  41. A Bob Phiri inu chanzeru munapangapo ndichani tachilozani anthu achione, mzimayi ameneyo was nominated amongst the likes of president Chissano way back before she become a president, even ufumu wakwanu atha kusankha mzukulu wanu olo ali std 3 kusiya inu mukakhala ndi maganizo achoncho, muyamikeni mzimayi pazabwino osakhala a mtima woyipa

  42. NTHAWI ZINA NDI BWINO KUMAVOMERA ZINA ZIKAMALAKWIKA NANGA MUNTHUWE KUMANGOTI NDONDONDO.TIKUDABWADITU IFE MAYI.KUYENDA YENDAKU MUKUMAKATANI? BWINOTU BWINO

  43. KODI ANTHU MUKUNENA ZA LEVEL YA A JB – Please help my ignorance:- Which level are you referring kwenikweni. Mukunena NZERU? KAPENA KUKONGOLA? KAPENA MA QUALIFICATION A SCHOOL? kapena chani kwenikweni???

  44. Mayi Kaliati, azikuposani kuyakhula za nzeru mtsikana Juliana Lunguzi? Zokongola ndiye muli kutali, koma manyazi mulibe eti? Ntchito kudzola ambi shubaba! Kikkkkkk

  45. When you answer a fool, you are also a fool.
    The office of the former president should have just stayed quite and move on with life.

  46. comment 22 you must be stupid kaya akukapanga zokomera iye kaya dziko that’s non of your/our business there so many people traveling may be you don’t know ukamakhala usaone ngati anthu samapita mmayiko. iwe ndi mbuli ndithu !!!!!

  47. even if we can give Kaliati chance to choose what she wants to be it will take her 20 year to get JB’s level. she is just wasting her time. JB also wasted her time like that she will see her downfall

  48. joice banda ndiwotopetsa abale. Kodi zomwe akukachitazo ndizokomela dziko kapena iye mwini? Ndimayera iye ananyanyala chifukwa choluza. Akagwere uko

    1. Problem is you thought by losing the election the world will forget her the way it forgot Bakili too bad for you she is not. Apparently she is enjoying too much popularity for your liking. Mama your were a bad president but you are a very good mother. I pray for you so that you can continue your good work. Take your strength from GOD and not the kaliati of this country.

  49. A befittingly candid response to a rather awkward, unsolicited, juvenile and utterly ridiculous attack on the person of the former president.

  50. to be realistic Mayi Kaliati is a total savage who doesn’t even deferenciate personal grudges and government issues. she is one of stupid minister of this country who doesn’t even fit for the position of a cabinet minister. bus-hit !!!!! she must keep her nasty mouth close.

  51. My oh my! Why dignify Kaliati’s gibberish with a response?? They say never argue with a fool for people may not notice the difference!!

  52. Adamusankha because she’s a Lhomwe basi nothing more. She’s not even suitable to be chairperson of any parliamentary committee. Agood leader id measured by the quality of people sorrounding him or her. Is Kaliati ideal to be closer of any president?

  53. Koma village girl Kaliati is an embarassment ndithu…..Am surprised why she can be trusted to hold that high office___Malawi politics.

  54. JB is a national tragedy. She did not attend Golden Jubilee celebrations of our country, preferring to go abroad at the material time. She must know Malawians got tired with her within weeks of becoming accidental president.She has never and will never win any presidential elections in Malawi.

    1. You are not God Mr Bob Phiri, pray so that God can show you the future.

      By the way, do you know when you are going to die? You do not know, that is why you can not properly say about people’s destin’ies’.

      PRAY MR BOB and be blessed!

  55. Kaliati was talking out of jelousy that Joyce Banda is being invited all over the world unlike her president who is being ignored,leave JB alone Kaliati

  56. Kaliyati ndiwamatama ponds amazola iye uja amathamangiranga ku ubongo.e kodi joyce banda yi simumamugonera kutulo?inu pangani zanu naye amayendera zake asaa

  57. pajatu amachitanso choncho in the time of NGWAZI going arround to block opportunities for malawi and now she is homo and abortion safemotherhood woyeeeeeeeeeeee leave her she should only concentrate on his personal verndettta than that of our APM

  58. Kenako akadzamufunsa unduna utatha adziti amalankhula atavala chipewa chaboma osati ngati individual.ameneyi sadzasintha

  59. The Malawi public already responded for you through the same forum yesterday. I dont think your personal interventions adds anything to the fact that Kaliati is a confused person who does not deserve to be Minister .

  60. I really hope president Muntharike will consider removing Kaliati as minister. She simply doesn’t have quality of being minister. In my view she looks like women selling chibuku, just see how she looks – a real scarecrow. I wonder how she is bleaching herself.
