JB says on Ligomeka’s rigging claims, ‘Malawians deserve to know the truth’

December 29, 2015 Zawadi Chilunga -Nyasa Times 136 Comments

Former President Joyce Banda says President Peter Mutharika should explain to Malawians what transpired during the May 2014 elections that ushered him to power following claims by Christopher Ligomeka that he was among a team of IT experts that implemented an electronic election rigging scheme in favour of Mutharika and his DPP.

Joyce Banda:
Joyce Banda:  Malawians deserve to know what really happened

Banda, who lost the presidency to Mutharika, when Malawi held presidential, parliamentary and local elections on the same day on May 30, 2014 said in a statement that President Mutharika should comment on Ligomeka claims.

Ligomeka claims were published on Malawi24 and Malawi Newsnow that he was hired by the DPP regime to rig the elections by hacking Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) system.

Ligomeka alleged that the ‘rigging centre’ was right at the house of President Mutharika in Area 10, Lilongwe.

During the elections, Banda accused a party, which she did not name, of infiltrating and hacking the electronic system, which transmits the results to the headquarters of MEC.

With Ligomeka claims, Banda feels vindicated about her fears of fraud and corruption that dented the May 20 Tripartite Elections results.

“The issues that Mr. Ligomeka has raised are very serious, which cannot just be wished away. Malawians deserve to know what really happened,” Banda said in the statement.

“Malawians deserve to know the truth about the two issues above to fully understand why President Mutharika and his DPP government are under so much paranoia and panic,” she charged.

Banda said many people had suspected that Ligomeka was involved in some rigging scheme during the election.

“He himself had met several people and confided in them what had been going on in the course of the elections to manipulate the final results. Details about the alleged rigging scheme are awash in the media, including copies of emails exchanged for that purpose,” said Banda, the first serving female African head of state to have lost an election.

“It is because of these allegations and the fact that MEC had admitted that there were suspected fraudulent cases within the course of the elections that I made a statement we needed either a re-run or a recount of the votes. In the case of a re-run, I said I would not contest as a presidential candidate to demonstrate that my decision was not based on greed.

“The issues that Mr. Ligomeka has raised are very serious, which cannot just be wished away. Malawians deserve to know what really happened,” she said.

Before being declared winner of the 2014 elections, Mutharika denied the DPP was involved in rigging.

“I don’t see how an opposition party can rig elections,” he said.

He said the army and police had been sent to his house to “intimidate” him.

A democratic governance expert pleaded with MEC and the nation at large to investigate to its logical conclusions of allegations of electoral fraud.

Kizito Tenthani—who is Centre for Multiparty Democracy (CMD) executive director—is on record saying what he saw during the tallying of the election results should move authorities to make a follow-up and establish what really happened.

“I am at pains to believe that some of the mistakes that I saw are natural or innocent errors,” he said, adding that MEC chairperson Maxon Mbendera even admitted that some of the records that were received from the field “left a lot to be desired.”

An analysis of Malawi Congress Party (MCP) and People’s Party (PP) DF dossiers of electoral complaints shows that returning officers—who were mostly head teachers—were either grossly inefficient or heavily compromised.

Glaring arithmetical errors and outright disregard of MEC guidelines, among other lapses, by returning officers, display a mess that gives strong credence to claims that the legitimacy of the electoral outcome may have been flawed.

In some cases, there were tallies such as 30+40=800, which were blatantly inaccurate.

Tenthani, however, said whether the irregularities amounted to rigging depends on where one is standing on the matter.

Apart from the changing of figures from polling stations and those printed at MEC main tally centre, other challenges included discrepancies between the station’s totals for candidates and the votes cast, discrepancies arising from intentional or unintentional arithmetical errors between number of votes per streams and station totals of the votes for specific candidates; polling station results sheets that do not bear MEC logo, or barcode, or polling station codes and names.

Some polling station results sheets did not bear names or signatures of the presiding officers whereas some polling station results sheets were not signed by political party monitors.

In some cases, the name and signature of the same presiding officer appeared on several polling stations’ results sheets originating from different locations while some results sheets bore figures that had been altered or tippexed out and in some cases results were altogether illegible.

Banda was Head of State between April 2012 and May 2014 after ascending to the presidency in line with constitutional order after the death of president Bingu wa Mutharika on April 5 2012.

  1. How I wish DPP had the wisdom to rig the economy the way they did with the elections. MMene likuendera dzikoli zikuchita kuonekeratu kuti mtsogoleri pakali pano tinakalibe.

  2. NOW SIGNIFICANT ISSUES WHICH REQUIRE IMMEDIATED ATTENTION CASHGATE AND VOTE FRAUD.

    NO ANY EXCUSE ON THE TWO.

  3. Where did JB get the money to enable her live extravagantly and lavishily in self exile for so long without anybodys help? I smell a stinking rotten dead rat here.

  4. According to the sky rocket way in which JB aka Namaloko has chipped in to comment on this Ligomeka elections rigging allegations issue, it sounds to me that she (JB) is the one behind this cheap propaganda kind of narration which is mainly aimed at buying her political and public sympathy.
    One may be asking why is she in such haste way commenting? Is she only one concerned?

    By the way, who is this Ligomeka and where was he all this time? If he is our own fellow Malawian, where is his patriotism if at all the allegations has truth behind?
    My plea to JB is to shut up her mouth because the more she talks, the more she decampaign herself.

    All what Malawians need to hear from her is the issue of her involvement in cash gate scandle hence the need for her return.

    All in all, GOD Bless Malawi!!!!!!!!!!

  6. Dr. Our country doesn’t think that way. Here we believe in rumor mongering, treachery, theft and other vices. If you continue writing like this, you’ll be deported! We must blame all the ills on JB and applaud the govt for everything including the multiplication of our mighty currency against the useless foreign ones. Wamva?

  9. Who is ligomeka and the JB connection and why now after convict senzani reviwi f court statements the fears are are so surprising but the truth will be told…these are outcomes of stealing poor people funds no peace is guaranteed be warned fellow Malawians let’s live normal lives by God favour and creation

  10. its not news at all, how many people do you think voted for peter??? the fool even lied that he bet atupele in mangochi………..bullshit!!!! mpake chibomachi chikuwakanika, ankayesa phada

  11. JB is not eligible to comment on this issue. She is hiding the truth about cashgate. The peoples court has found JB guilty of stealing government money.

    Thanks

  15. Thanks ,you can come back during the time we will start arresting 577bn cashgaters because most of your enermies will be there, including mr X

  16. Since the born of our democracy, stealing, killing, corruption and favoritism are accepted by our supreme law of the land. Therefore, there is no case that this government can answer because that is what Malawians liked to crap hands of.

    Mathanyula woeeeeeeeeee,

  17. My People Lets Love One Other And Lets Spoke About Future CashGate Will Never Help Us.Bible Say When Old Things Go Ever Again,So In Division We Cant Make Malawi Batter!

  18. mai zikuyenda komaaa? bwerani zinazi mudzazionereko pafupi. First clear ur name thru th court, then u can objectively talk abt other issues lik ellzctions. Otherwize ndakaikila cholinga chanu

  21. All this time amatani samaulula? anali asanathe kumeza mabuns amene amene anampatsa?
    Pano wameza njala yamupha wasowa chotafuna ndiye waganiza zoululano?
    Tsono akuganiza kuti iye sanapalamule mlandu?
    He also has a case to answer, amene mukuti Christopher Ligomeka-yo.

    Zachamba basi eti?

  22. Rigging is hazardous in any democratic country as it leads to strifes and civil wars which malawi must avoid. It also leads to irresponsible leadership becoz its like money without ownership found on road and don’t expect such leaders to deliver in fullest capacity. It is also a sin before God whose leadership, pple shud not expect prosperity unless forgiven by God himself.

  25. What Mama is saying can only make sense if she was saying it from here. Every time cash-gate convicts mention her in their pleas, she quickly turns to Mutharika as the one who is putting words in their mouth. Now, it looks like it cuts both ways because the same can be said that she is using a fellow Yao Ligomeka to taint Mutharika and DPP. Aunt Gettie should be extradited so that she should be making those serious pronouncements to the relevant authorities instead of barking through the media from outside the fence.

  26. Madam JB, in case you still do not understand what really happened on May, 20: it’s simple and clear, “you lost the election”. or we can say in other words, you were booted out of government.

    you dont need a scientist to explain that to you.

  27. Hmmm koma joyisi! So Senzani, Lutepo, and Kalonga were influenced by the government to implicate joyisi whereas Ligomeka was not influenced by joyisi’s cashgated money to implicate the government?

    Message to joyisi: Malawians are not fools. They are more clever than you think. Please go and complain at MEC or indeed go to court and sue the MEC and the DPP if you have material evidence and you are convinced that the DPP rigged the elections.

  28. zaziiiiiiii. Kodi unathawa chani iwe???? Munthu oluza ndi choncho. empty tins makes a lot of noise. eg Msonda, Andekuche, etc.

  31. A Malawi tonse ofunila dziko lathu zabwino don’t just stay Phwiiiii!!!! let us wake up and take Action on this Issue, Please!!!!!! Tikudziwa kuti Mavuto tidawazolowera, but at this juncture let us Act!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  32. Kodi joyce sumamvesaabe kuti imaluzaa eeh? u forgot tht i were not voted but rather ascended to that post courtesy of a constitution order. utonthola liti? waliratu mayi. Nde kulirako amalirira kunja? bwerakoni amayi baaasiii. Tsopano mwan’nakkoo mbenderayi? atamuninkhe madzi osamba ndani?

  35. Am I being naïve, or is it not strange that in other countries it is the incumbent in power who is in a position to rig elections? Is JB admitting that she had no control over her own govt when she was president?

  39. Stop all this! we have huge big problems to resolve in the country! and still you are fighting about the votes!

    Shame on all of you! people are starving! iwe Joyce you are galavanting in the world ! where did you suddenly get such money? people have died and are still dying in Malawi and all you so called politicians can do is fight over who rigged and did not rig votes! embarrassing!

    stop it! Grow up!

  40. Jb kodi nkhani iyi yayambiranso pati kodi? Nkhani inali ya xashgate, iyiv yaloweranso pati kodi? kkkkk mzimayi wabalalika uyu!

  41. com clear cashgate first then we can pay attentionn to your next story Jb. Meanwhile am very sure u want us divert our minds from ur role in cashgate to ur losing of elections. Bastard thinking from a woman!

  43. Tingofunsa FBI itithandize kufufuza basi.
    Komano a DPP sangalole m pang’ono pomwe kuopa kuyaluka.
    Komabe olo atelo ayalukabe, tangodikilani pang’ono alumana ndi kudyana okha okha.

  45. Whenever a sentence for a crime is not carried out swiftly , the human mind becomes determined to do evil.. eccl 8 v11

  46. Let her come and complain while in Nyasaland.How can we trust her when she doesnt want to be here and clear herself on cashgate?Is this more important than swindling from our coffers.

  49. I agree that Malawi faces many problems, one of those problems is election rigging. If the electoral process is compromised, then the whole democratic dispensation of government is a sham; it is meaningless.

    I have not familiarised myself with the duties, rights and obligations of the Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC). I would like to believe though its duties should include post-election assessment and evaluation of the robustness of the electoral procedures in order to tighten loopholes and put in place better and rigging-proof safeguards to ensure a credible outcome of the next elections.

    It is documented that the MEC itself was unhappy with many aspects of what transpired during the last elections. The question is what has the MEC done about it? What does the law say should be done by the perpetrators of election frauds and rigging.

    The MEC cannot be silent about these issues; and the fact that they raised by a former Head of State( regardless of issues she may be alleged to be involved in— under Roman-Dutch Law, one is presumed innocent until proven guilty) does not invalidate the need to strengthen the existing electoral process after fully investigations what transpired during the last elections.

  50. Lets leave everything in the living God.I can assure you if indeed DPP rigged the elections their leader and the party is cursed.No wonder a lot of problems are in this country.God has got his own ways of punishing thieves.Lets keep on praying.God is on our side and this country needs devine intervation and it will come to pass.

  51. What is require is that this woman needs to be dragged to Malawi and face what she fears because hiding and running around the worls wiill not assist her. After all she has not been charged of any offence by now. I think her intelligence is making her slave of speculations. Even if she is arrested upon arrival, the courts are there to handle the case. She must accept it, most Malawian leaders faced the door of the prison either by false imprisonment or on suspicion to have committed crime. Mayi come back that you complete your political journey.

  52. A Hendrix ndi anzanu elections are based on laws. Any decision about elections has to be made within the context of the Malawi laws. Neither Mbendera, other commissioners nor JB could bulldoze the election decisions outside electoral laws.
    As far as running elections are concerned electoral commissioners could not make decisions once stakeholders went to court.
    Nkuonansi Amai analephera kuletsa/nullify chisankho. President alibe mphamvu zimenezo.
    Muzifunsa zinthuzi mmene ziyendera kwa anthu odzitsata.
    Akakhala Ligomekayu,tikudabwa kuti apolisi angomumvetsera osachitapo kanthu.

  53. to verifywhether elections were manipulated it’s very simple and straightforward it doesn’t someone to have PHD.each polling centre had people who were running or conducting election of which commission has names of presiding officers ask them at each centre should say who won election against the copies of party monitors. This can put to rest all the sentiments about the authenticity of election results. otherwise it becomes very difficult to come to terms with claims of rigging and others issues.

  54. kodi mayiyu adakalirabe za chisankho?????mcp yabeledwa kambirimbiri koma imavomereza msanga nanga kuli bwanji amayiwa oti anangolawa mpando chifukwa cha imfa

  55. JB has a reason to fear. Peter will do anything to revenge to JB. First to stop over The country when his brother dead. All Malawians know what Peter wanted. Peter is a blood man Who wanted power to all costs. People Who hate JB are The cause of many Malawians suffering. Hej does not care about Malawians. Hej was not there when Malawians were fighten for demoxracy. JB was there. Hej comes and want to eat and leave luxury on others blood and sweat. How can not JB not be afraid DDP has already killed Nyaunji. The killed Chasowa. They tried to kill JB with The lorry of Muli. People warned JB. All these is proof that Peter can kill JB. Do you want her dead to believe? She is protected by verk expert western. Peter is thirst to kill JB. I did not like her and the way she was ruling but she was better than Peter. Peter does not deserve to Rule Malawi.

  56. Koma truly speaking we are tired of statements of Amai from foreign countries she should come back and defend her course here in Malawi whatever she says now is considered by any average Malawian as useless senseless thoughtless and clueless. We have so many problems here rather than listening or reading useless statements clarifications or refusals by Amai just back ngati simunabe the courts eill set you free thats all

  58. Next election I can sense parties of having complicated hackers. It will be like if you don’t hack,steal,buy officials then you make it. Corruption will be a passport to rule

  59. The lady knows what she is ralking about. She also knows the consequencies of coming hone. She is not in power, she can be killed, she fears for her life. MCP talks about this issue even though the elections are long gone, utsi sufuka popanda moto. There has to be some truth…. how can 30+40=800,

  61. Joyce tatopa nawe zokamba zako usatisokonezere dziko ayi chisankho chinapita kale tabweratu udzanenele kuno zachibwana zakozo kwanu ndi kuno nanga ukuopelanji kubwera wa chibwana uye usamalankhule uli kwa eni tabweratu kwanu kuno watitopetsa

  62. In Malawi we dont take elections rightly. He was a judge, entrusted with the affairs of running MEC but could not even make a logical conclusion even after acknowledging the irregularities. Malawians are suffering because of Mbendera. He sold this country to the devil. He is aware of this. Malawians did not vote for Mutharika. And he knows it only that the truth hurts. He rigged. The claims by Ligomeka are genuine. But let him come open and tell Malawians what really happened. He should not fear anything. We deserve to know the truth. It is clear that this government does not have the blessing of God. Please Ligomeka tell us the whole truth.

  63. what are you afraid of barking in your country.You know that all claims you are making are false ones.Please come and bark here and later face trial on false claims and cashgate trial.All Malawians know that you are a hub of the cashgate.wakuba amathawa yekha.Milomo yako yatuwatu.muziipaka mafuta osamaiwala chifukwa cha maganizo.unaziyamba wekha ulimbe nazo.matama onse kuti pee.

  64. Iwe Joyce Banda can you come and talk that nonces in the eyes of Malawians.. To me I think you are a very bitter person and you need special prayers..
    At your age living your grandkids ku Mudzi Kuno suukuchita manyazi Kodi?
    If your claims were true you could not have self exiled yourself in South Africa bwenzi Uli ku Europe Koma anakutulukira azungu that’s why you runaway ku USA

  69. We’re being tortured with several life atrocities just because of this greedy mutharika and his team who wanted to rule not because of good will but to steal from us and conceal their bad deals. Here you are, failing to notice even your own shit. Utsogoleri apa nde wakanika. Utsogoleri ndi uphunzitsi ndi zinthu zosiyana.

  71. Sorry mama, we no longer value presidents in Malawi. Just as ligomeka claims, several others also implicated you as a big cash gate fish. You expect Malawians to act on presidential results yet same Malawians are calling you back to defend yourself and you cannot because wakuba amathawa yekha. If Ligomeka was indeed a tool to deceive Malawians, he ought to be arrested together with all of you. Dont use Malawians, we have more than enough probles from you stupid and greedy politicians.

  73. Mau anuwa Mai mukati muziyankhula muli mdziko mommuno olo muli kumeneko munjira yovomerezeka, bwezi akumveka. Madam, this is too late for you. Tangozisiyani zimenezo. Komansotu olo kampeni imene ija isadayambe, zinkaziwika kuti PP ndi inuyo anthu adalibe nanu chidwi, munachulutsa chibwana. Tafunsani anthu awiri okha a kumudzi Kwathu ku Zomba akuuzani kungoti inuyo munkaona ngati anthu omwe munali nawo pafipi ankakufunorani zabwino, koma mmmngh ata aMai Kkkkkk.

  74. Indeed truth must take its course. Malawians are crying in agony becoz there are some few greedy malawians who don’t love their country, they deliberately commit themselves in cashgates, votegates etc etc rousing God’s anger. Leaders are chosen by God but this shows that during 2014 elections leaders chose themselves upon greed and powerhunger, that’s why our nation is moving in recurring calamities and disgrace. We are being punished in God’ anger and this must not be repeated if we want God’s favor and Change. We need to turn to God as a nation, Only fervent prayers will reverse the curses failing which Malawi will remain poor and cursed becoz of our own choices.

  76. It would clear the Banda name if we use Ntila. Banda the killer and dictator. Banda the plunderer .
    To preserve the Banda name, let us use Ntila the woman plunderer.

  77. That’s why this regime is failing local persons. It had no knowledge and ideas of what they shall do once ushered into office hence unpopular votes are being passed without considering on the poor.

    A stupid and unprincipled govt we have ever had!!!

  78. Izo iwalani amai paja ndi mmene muchitira tangokuzolowerani. Kodi otsutsa angabere chisankho? Recently MCP has swept all the seats for bi-elections in Mchinji and Lilongwe have ever heard DPP blaming MCP of rigging elections? Inuyo tadzikhalani kunjako poti utchona wokupezani mutakula ngovuta anzanu amapita ali wana akafika ngati misinkhu they decide to come back to their land and serve malawians. Shame on you kukakukwanani mutipeza muwafunse anzanuwa. Lero u make noise ayi nyumba sakundipatsa, achitetezo andilanda, ayi pension sanandipatse, …………etc. dziwani inuyo mwapha tsogolo la amai anzanu politically in this land.

    Mwakhala mboma two yrs why ddn’t u investigate the 577 billion kwacha, what about Chasowa u made a lot of noise and a report from commmission u instituted was presented b4 u what action dd u take? Mwana Chathunya anapha bwenzi lake uja munakabisa ku RSA uko. Amatero zinthu.

    Mutipezaaaaaaaaaa mukatopa nako mayi!!!!!!!!!!

  79. I was a presiding officer at a station with 2 streams. We tabulated everything properly. When i went to the tally centre at the secondary schl, i was told by the retaining officer that we have made a mistake in tabulating as the system is rejecting. I told him that thats raw data from the station, he said the only option is to rewright the figures. Thats why you noted a lot of changes. That was aftr w were advised so by mec officials. I did some IT at the university and i understood the mec systm vry well. 1 the system had a validadion rule that at a station voters should b 800 and below,in real sense if w had 1100 voters,w put it in 2 streams as 600 and 500. Well tabulated but at the tally center we were told to rewright every thing alone so that its 800 and 300. This meant tampering with results for sure,is this gross incompetency? 2 the system could not allow null and void votes,this was discovered at the tally center too. We were as well advisd just to knw where to pile such votes,then who is to blame. 3 there was no internet and w stayed at the tally centre from the time w arvd in my case 3 A.M to around 4Pm with no food. In my opinion as a presiding officer and somebody who is an it specialist,the system was a mess.

  80. What is this nonsense? From Cashgate to Rigging from Rigging to Cashgate! Don’t u have anything to do? You r boring us and u r losing the little respect Malawians had for u! The best thing for u is just to shut up.

  81. Joyce Banda, I know you are feeling home sick.You wish you were at your house in Nkhata bay.But believe you me ulira ndipo udzagogoda chitseko kuno ku Malawi.Peter Muthalika adzafunsa kuti ndani akugogoda chitsekoyo? Iwe, Joyce udzayankha kuti ndine bwana.Ndipo Muthalika adzanena kuti CHOKA KAGWERE UKO !!!!!!!!!

  82. as a Malawian I am so tired of reading these negative things about malawi. If its not rigging its stealing, if its not stealing its telling lies!

    Are you not embarrasaed? you JB you are supposed to be high rating in society! is this all you know how?

    Disgusting! no wonder Donors are fed up of you! you cant manage yourselves then how on earth are you supposed to manage a country let alone borrowed money?

    Hopeless people! Hopeless!

  84. I would only blame the MEC rules which despite or the irregularities couldnt allow for an alternative. Worse still the chair being a learned Judge couldnt use his position rationally. The President demonstrated her weakness by not using her powers to dictate the right path on how elections could have been conducted. By the way who was your attorney general and legal advisors.

  85. Please get a grip and focus on real issues Madam Banda. To whose benefit is all this endless talk on vote rigging? Which Malawians are you speak for here? Please take a breath, look in the mirror and think twice before you let your ‘spokesperson’ speak for you. Please do not loose or further erode of what’s left of your reputation, by making hopeless and frustrated comments.
    If you have any ‘concerns for Malawi’, please speak through either the courts in Malawi, Malawian parliament where you are represented, or through your registered political; party-PP. Otherwise Malawians know that not all that is posted on Nyasa Times is fact. It is my view that the more you make such grumbling statements, the less people take you seriously. You are an ex head of state by the way, not a political party activist, and unless you start acting like an ex head of state, Malawians will not treat you as one.

    Ever heard of a Chichewa saying, ‘ Zawana safula’. Think of ex head of state in Africa? What are they doing now? And compare that to your current situation? By the way I am one of your admirers but I have been concerned by your recent inconsistencies and cluelessness, or is that coming from your ‘advisers/informants?
    Can you please become relevant to Malawians again like you were before??

  86. If someone claims that he helped in rigging the elections, surely this should obviously be investigated. Why is Mec or govt not doing something about it?

    Serious irregularities occurred but Mec up to this time hasn’t come forward with any suggestions or actions as to how it will in future prevent these irregularities from happening again. I understand even their phones land and mobiles were all corrupted rendered useless by these elections fraudsters so that communications with polling stations failed.

    We need Mec to give us solutions to all these irregularities that occurred or Mec should seek from all stakeholders suggestions or actions to prevent future irregularities taking place.

    We want 2019 elections to be fair, no cheating.

  87. Amayi Joyce Banda was robbed because she was fighting for justice for all Malawians. Today here we are. If Joyce Banda kept quiet about corruption she could be president until today. Joyce Banda didn’t know that her own cabinet was 95% corrupt. The whole Malawi government system was or is corrupt. Many government officials would favour DPP than Joyce Banda to continue steal government resources or avoid arrests. It was a conspiracy so Joyce Banda to loose elections. Today Malawians are paying hardly for her honest. Shame to greedy Ligomeka who sold us all to this cruel DPP government. People are suffering but these DPP selfish leaders don’t care. I hate this Yudas Iscariot Ligomeka. To hell with him.

  88. Mama,

    Aujire kunyumba. Zomangoti bwe! bwe!bwe! iliyose yakulembedwa is removing your dignity. Dont think people will be convinced of your innocence by your talking alot! We are not fools we know the truth. Come and present these arguments here in court. This is becoming irritating now!

  89. Sorry mama you would have won and you would have been here in Malawi by now enjoying with us your sons! Still i suggest you explain because you were Head of State by then please!

  90. Let Ligomeka bring evidence so he can get arrested right away!

    Winning an election demands intelligence and skill. He won, wait for 2019. You can kill a dog not only by hanging, you may poison it or bury it alive. Amayi tuloooooooooooooo!

  91. Too late for that. Is this going to bring drugs in the hospitals? Is it bringing the much deserved forex or crying for spilled milk from the ground. We usually talk of rigging and as far as the word rigging applies from the African perspective it’s the ruling party that does it. Where were you when this was happening? Please spare us from issues that adds no value now.the issue at stake is our money taken by deadlocked rastas who shamelessly did a karaoke show after syphoning people nyasas at Silver stadium. Elections are coming in 2019 and that will be your turn mama to rig as well as its now the opposition that does it better just like Dpp did to you

  92. Apart from MEC kukhala ndi tally centre yawo panali ma radio station ngati Zodiac omwe anali district ina ili yonse kunena zoona pakanakhala kuti ma vote anabedwa bwenzi a Zbss atafufuza kale poti nawo amatsatila chilichonse.

    Ikakhala nkhani yolakwisa kulemba ma figure kwa ma supervisor imeneyo imachitika kwa presidential candidate wina ali yense. Olo Masten pena amapezeka awawonjezera ma figure, ndiye imeneyo isakhale nkhani.

    Apa tiyeni tivomereze kuti zitsakho sizinakukomereni malinga ndi manifesto yanu, pangani zotheka kuti 2019 muzalowe Boma osati zomwe mukukamba apazi zoti ma vote anabeledwa.

  93. An IT expert that helped to rig elections whose votes were counted manually from district tally centres? Really? Is that sentiment coming from somebody mentally sound? By the way what was the job of your monitors you fielded in all voting centres?All of them were not good even in the centres you were leading?

    This desperate woman may either run mad or commit suicide,watch the space guys.

  94. No news here, I mean who doesn’t know that rigging in elections is part of the game, you just happened to fail to play smarter than your opponents, perhaps you undermined their hunger to power, hence beaten by the best players.
    I can’t speak for Western countries, but for Africa, its a common knowledge that “honesty” doesn’t exist in politics vocabulary. Look at Zimbabwe, even a toddler could tell of who should have been in power.
    Here in RSA,the demise of ANC was written all over the wall. Any way as much as election rigging is unacceptable, in case of ANC, it plays in favour of us the (makwerekweres) for it favours the only political party that seems to be tolerant of us the foreigners from African countries.

  95. bwampini abwerere pachisa pa america APA akayambirenso choko kkkkkkkkk nanga sanalowa mwakuba kodi ndipo a Mbendera akagwirepo Jere pang’ono chifukwa cholengeza ma results akudziwa kuti ndiolakwika olo kuti osalungama

  96. Abiti Mtila, surely you have too much time on your hands. Just come home, and stop barking, barking, barking, barking and barking some more….for nothing!

    We all know what happened during the election, you lost and made a complete fool of yourself on TV to the point of running into exile with your tail between your legs.

    Who is Ligomeka? Where was he all this time?

    Be honorable and come and clear your name in the courts instead of just looking stupid squatting in foreign lands.

  100. jb, come answer cash gate first, else this seems is an effort to divert our attention. Come home and clear ur name first, so that we kno all u wd b saying is in the interest of Malawians not to bbuy ur own sympathy.

  104. Koma amai akanabwera to tackle all these issues here it sounds like a little mzungu or Ngo outside naking noise tabweraniko amai tizizakambirana nkhanizi mofasa kuno ku Malawi

  106. O……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….O………………………………………………………………………………….O
    Although some people will find comfort in JB’s utterances, it wont change anything but only rob you of your present happiness as you celebrate the new year etc. Know that . . .

    “The longer we dwell on our misfortunes, the greater is their power to harm us.” – Voltaire (French Writer)

    Also, there is always right time for everything. We cant waste time discussing May 2014 elections now. Past is past!

    Our eyes should be fixed on the future now – how to deal with the epidemic called gays, how to bring you JB here for cashgate, when will Kasambara be sent to jail, how Chuka will arrest the volatile Kwacha, the population boom, the leadership vacuum, e.t.c

    Lets move on Malawi. Yesterday is dead and gone!

  107. I knew that you would comment. As they was very much staged to bring that to your points. Everyone knows that the elections were manually counted using the reports from the centers and not from the machine. Zodiak was there to count. Your monitors were there to verify. MEC commissioners from different parties where there for credibility. Chikani apa.

  108. It is very unfortunate and a waste of resources to keep on going backwards when everybody is busy trying to find ways and means of resuscitating the government structures that were brought down by past leaders. If PP is crying foul does it mean that their fellow bed mates also rigged? Because the theory here is that any party that was on top of PP cheated because Malawians wanted PP to be the ruling party – no it doesn’t work that way.
    It shows HE Dr. JB knows how the rigging was done, the whole evidence is at her finger tips; why can’t she take the issue to court instead of bringing every Jim and Jack into this circus? Logging complaints alone will not solve anything because in actual fact if DPP rigged in 2014 then in 2019 it will be even easier for them to rig because they will be more capable of manipulating almost everything. The best PP can do is to ask for signatories who will form an acceptable quorum for the courts to handle their case. A song sung by an individual will Hadley be heard because people hearing would think the singer has personal complaints and not those for the party. Nyimbo imodzi sachedzera gule.

  109. MCP is the chief architect of election riggings. I have been personally through it myself no wonder they call the Central region kuchipinda kwawo. Teachers/headmasters are mobilised by MCP operatives to rig on behalf of the MCP falsifying records and tallies at the polling stations before they are sent to the Central Tally Centres. MCP should not cry foul here munayamba ndinu and as it stands muyiwale zoti mungazalumulile Malawi. We are done with you. As DPP we have 101 ways of rigging elections. So far we have used only ONE!

  110. MALAWI PROBLEMS AFTER PROBLEMS OUR LEADER ARE NOT SERIOUS WITH DEVELOPING OUR COUNTRY ITS BETTER IF THEY RIGGED ELECTION AND LATER THEY ARE DEVELOPING THE COUNTRY BUT ITS DISASTERS AT THE END JB YOU ARE RIGHT TO ASK THAT BUT YOU MUST TELL US MALAWIANS WHERE IS MONEY FOR JET WHICH YOU SOLD

  111. We are talking about the missing money now not votes. We voted u lost JB. We are in south africa striving because of your greed. Come back home and explain that.

  112. This nation is sick from cancer that will never heal this woman was in the government but why didn’t she make reforms even these people from mec all of them are sick they are the ones making Malawi poor if u ask them if they have changed their system today they will tell you its the same system that will make peter munthalika president in 2019.

  114. Mai madam it’s to late the damage is beyond. We understand that you are guilt is now honting you but madam once commited crime can never give you peace

  115. I can not put it past Joyce Banda to have paid this Ligomeka to start this story. Where was he all this time?

    Indeed Malawians need to know the truth, but not Joyce Banda’s truth, the real truth.

  116. DPP will not have peace ruling this country and they will finally quit and surrender. These problems will not stop untl the country is brought to its knees and DPP confesses. Apa zangoyamba chabe. guilt will haunt all who took part and they will lose sleep and peace of mind

  117. Okuba awiri anakumana, onse amafuna kuba golide. Ndi zachidziwikire kuti wokuba waluso kwambiri ndi amene angatenge golideyo. A Malawi pano akufuna athu ozindikira kwambiri odziwa bwino za makina akompyuta. Osati anthu opepera osaphunzira kuti azitilamulira. Ndibwino kulamuliridwa ndi wakuba wophunzira bwino kusiyana ndi kulamulidwa ndi wansembe wosadziwa kuwerenge. We are in digital age and not analogue.

  119. Sister, it is not about elections BUT Cashgate!!!!!!. Did you steal the money or not? Tell us who took the money between you and Senzani.

  121. poyamba I want to point out fools here in Malawi, are pple from ntchewu. Second pple who aid this current government to won are fools too. They cant even think problems we faced in Bingu government. kusowa kwa sugar mafuta ndi zambiri. To day the same DPP, taonani sugar K600 ndi mavuto ochuluka. Lets look back every ministry our current leader head had problems. So other fools aiding this type of person to lead us. No wonder we are in fire.

  122. Madam, It is Senzani and you – not Peter and you. Please do not twist people’s attention. It is your friend Senzani who has mentioned you in her plea – so talk about Senzani and not any other person. Why politicking everything?

    What is wrong with this woman from Malosa?. Ukutichititsa manyazi ife okhala ku Chilema kuno.

  123. Its too late now. Dont bring confusion to malawians. These claims should have been brought forward before MEC’s official announcement of results. This should be a wake up call to our leaders. Whenever you see something going on wrongly in Govt spill the beans immediately. Dont wait until you go to the opposition side.

  125. By the way, where is this female Greedy Goat so called JB?
    Umboni okwanira ulipo kuti abiti Mchira JB ndi amene anakonzekera kubera mavote. Izi zinaululika mafoni omwe anapatsa ma monitor awo atablokedwa. The truth is DPP inangoteteza kuti isabeledwe chisankho. Imene inali ndi maplan obera inali PP ndipo inawapatsa ma monito awo mafoni kuti azilumikizana.
    Mmalawi muno bungwe loyendetsa chisankho ndi la MEC. Ndipo bungwe linalengeza kuti yawina ndi DPP. Oluza nthawi zonse amakahala ndi choyankhula. Sizachilendo. Uku ndi kulira. Kulilira mpando wa ofuofu kkkkkkkkk. Ngati mukuti DPP inabera, imabera inu muli kuti? Zamkutuuuu.

  128. We already know the elections were rigged. But thanks to mandala mambulasa and abusa Mbewe, the riggers won.

  130. I can’t blame DPP neither Mec, I blame the grieving parties for allowing this nonsense to change into sense. I understand and have grown in believing that electoral fraud breeds civil war, hatred, economic turmoil etc but our yet to be entrusted leaders sunk into electoral cowardice, claiming to be peaceful, honest, God fearing yet the same God was/ is not ready to accept the new regime. If Malawi was to wage electoral war God was going to be with us. Remember the holy wars Moses. David, Hezekiah…etc fought had God. on their side. Do we have God on our side?
    This country is pulling further away from God now becoz u have allowed it scot-free ; look, there is no medicines, food in public hospitals, corruption levels have grown more than our GDP, nepotism has even become our national anthem,….. and lawlessness has become law…… we all are to blame kkkkk

  131. Za Ma elections ngakhale zitakhala zoona sizingasinthe panopa koma bweranikoni za cashgate zikukudikirani kuyankha.

  133. JB, you were the incumbent and you let an opposition party rig an election? That’s just incompetence…In fact how could you even let APM’s name on the ballot paper when he had a treason case over his head? It’s ur fault these goons got back in government. Even after u declared the election fraudulent and called for a re run, you went back on ur word and handed over power.
    This is Africa, election fraud isn’t new or unusual. You fucked up and you shud take some responsibility instead of this giving us this crap. So what… DPP rigged the election ; boo ho. What difference will that make to those suffering Malawians.

  135. 1. Ligomeka should be arrested on his own claim that he helped someone stole the votes. Nobody forced him. He was chasing illegitimate rewards at the expense of Malawians. Surely he should have a case to answer for conjuring to defraud Malawians of their voting rights, whether or not his attempt was successful
    2. It is not known if JB would have won with or without Logomeka. I think Ligomeka’s claim is non-consequential. JB was even beaten by Chakwera! And MCP has not raised any complaints
    3. JB should comment on her own incompetence. As president, why didn’t she put in place measures and obtain international assistance to ensure that the electoral process was foul proof? She herself wanted to benefit from the loopholes but she was beaten at her own dirty game. Atambwali sametana. Chozemba chinakumana ndi chokwawa
    4. If Ligomeka is agrieved he can go to the courts! Why was he silent all along?
