Joyce Banda promises Cabinet posts to PP legislators in MCP govt
In a typical case of counting eggs before they are hatched and defying Malawi Congress Party (MCP) purpoted servant leadership philosophy, Lazarus Chakwera’s political partner, former president Joyce Banda, says some People’s Party (PP) legislators will be offered Cabinet posts should MCP win the May 21 elections.
According to Zodiak, Banda made the remarks at Chatoloma Admarc ground in Kasungu on Wednesday during a whistle stop tour on her way to Nkhata Bay.
Banda, who has “captured” MCP considering that 80% of MCP executive members are former PP members, is alleged to have negotiated six Cabinet posts including one for her son, Roy Kachale, her would-be running mate Dr. Jerry Jana, and Secretary General Ibrahim Matola.
The former president also negotiated herself to be a co-decision maker on State matters in the MCP government as well as assume the role of Malawi’s global ambassador, 10 Heads of Embassy positions and other public appointments.
Reacting to Zodiak report, most Malawians blasted the former president for putting personal interests first.
“I knew it, this woman is up to no good. Cry my beloved MCP. And Chakwera is weak.
“Perhaps this is why Chilima said no to her demands,” reads one comment referring to UTM Pary president Saulos Chilima who partied ways with JB after a 48 hour alliance allegedly because she had put too many demands including one to have her son as running mate.
“This nyunsensi ndiyomwe Chilima anakana and analora kuti Band igawane zida…. PP wants to use back door ….. Say no to PP. Say no to MCP!” posted one Pempho Chipeni.
Malawi goes to the polls on May 21 but with 11 days to go there is no clear picture of the winner as all UTM, DPP and MCP seem to have equal forces.
However, the surprise package has been UTM, a 9 months old party formed after Chilima quit DPP in 2018.
The 46-year old Chilima has built the party to unimaginable levels and has campaigned more than President Peter Mutharika and Chakwera despite the whole country writing him off that he had no time.

Article ya nyunsensi iyi. No serious news at all. Just the writer’s hallucinations.
Simumudziwa Chakwera, you will be surprised, if he will make it he will appoint on merit, after all MCP will have enough numbers in parliament to carry out govt business successfully
After all its Chakwera who will choose the cabinet. Remember what Bingu did and l have a vision that it be the same.
Even if atupele could join he would definitely be given positions. This is what we want a government of national unity which can work together for the betterment of all Malawians
This lady is selfsh, there is nothing for the Poor Malawians from her. It shows Chakwera is weak. This nation needs a strong leader n not a party.
Thank God she was President for ONLY 2 YEARS!
some of us knew right from the beginning that this woman will eventually take over MCP from the backdoor. she uses her bottom power chank and just like Bingu, chakwera has fallen for it. If MCP wins, Chakwera will not survive until the end of his term. either he will die suddenly or be permanently incapacitated so that MIa takes over hence MCP will be taken over by PP.
shame on you lilian kaunda and you are fool why creating stories? ku-pu-sa
Verbal diarrhea at its best! …..Amayi awa ndiwothamanga magazi, that is why she only became President by Default!!!!!
One of the many problems with this woman is that she runs her mouth too much…… she has verbal diarrhea
Jezebel has Chakwera wrapped around her little finger, Ihave always said Chakwera is such a weak leader who can easily be manipulated
The proclamations made by Joisi Banda, and her demands clearly confirm that oChakwera is a weak leader basi (to be sure): One more reason many voters are getting turned off by MCP.
Why, in heaven or hell, would Joisi Banda feel entitled this way? And how can she not feel the sense of alienation, even bordering on hatred, a plurality of Malawians have for her? She simply cannot redeem herself; and enough is enough.
How can oChakwera accede to these demands? Does the CashGate mmoney he shared perhaps explain this stance? And maybe he’s now getting blackmailed for being on the take?
Where does Mia and his wife now fit in the grand political equation? How are they going to get any return on their investment in MCP and oChakwera?
How can oChakwera give cabinet positions to those mentioned in the report – failures in almost everything they have touched? Even in College.
Why are there no waves made by MCP stalwarts, or were their complaints simply dismissed by their “leader”? Or, perhaps, they weren’t even consulted?
So many questions, and so far, no answers. Nada.
This is just more evidence of serious trouble in MCP land. And, this is with only two weeks to go!
The timing of these revelations of Joisi Banda’s demands couldn’t be better for UTM and DPP. No question here.
Can some of the MCP sympathizers on this forum please elucidate? You owe it to the potential voters.
BOLA MWAMVA! MGWIRIZANO WAWO NDI UMENEWO
Abhiti Kazhigheti dhyera. Did the fake accent ex-reverend agree to these ludicrous and idiotic demands willy nilly? He does not deserve our votes. This nonsense for a few pieces of cashgate gold and silver? Fake accent must be embarrassed of this shameless thief.
Mwamva pain amwene. Politics is a game of numbers, let Joice add numbers to MCP
Only you blindly trusts Abhiti Kazhigeti and your additional vote makes no difference.
Amai awa kulongolola
AN ALIANCE MEANS AN AGREEMENT …..SO WHERE IS THE PROBLEM………….I DONT SEE THE PROBLEM HERE
Open your eyes and see.are you also blind
Jezebel showing her true colours again, its all about her and her alone, MCP don’t say you didn’t see this coming
UTM BOMA 2019 MAY 21 , True a 9 months party emerged like rains from heavy, MCP and DPP, be careful.
UTM CANNOT WIN MY BROTHER DONT WASTE YOUR TIME
You are right DPP is winning with a landslide obviously
DPP will never win again? the spirit of albinos and Njaunju will haunt you until you confess it to Malawians , mark my words.
Mudzazimangiliratu a Thyolo Thava. In pa ground simukuona ndi mtambomtambo okhaokha? Chipani chizikhakhala ndi grass root structures ponseponse. Kwathu kuno ku Mwera mukati MCP simmene anthu amathawira. Sapita kawiri.
It will Mbumba
Remember this word::: TOTAL SUM after May 21st OK
You will see it very soon just hold on. SKC is the most trusted politician in Malawi
Liar. Kuno moto wzimiratu. No area, no branch just the whole party nyooomiii pa mbuyo pa Arafat. Ena akachititsa msinkhano, a Manganya nthumbidwa zokhazokha zosavota kubwera ati nkumayesa kuli zisunzo. You will know that DPP sizocheza come 21st May.
utm is dpp side B.Similarities between chilima and mutharika ;both are running today’s government affairs,both will be receiving pension packages come 21 May.Both are heads of this country until May 21.Both tolerated corruption from 2014 to date.
MCP is PP side B
But is this really worth writing about? Isn’t it expected that where there’s an alliance there will be agreements like these? Or is the intention of the writer to find faults in MCP? Write something different please
If it is not worthy, reporting, what do you think is worthy to be reported? How many cabinet posts is Chakwera going to have if he was president? Indeed MCP will not have any power or it’s power reduced because the cashgate money that has been exchanging hands will prevent Chakwera to resist anything that Joyce Banda. Chakwera has been deceived like the way Delilah deceived Samson. Let Chakwera try to move away from this agreement, heads will roll. Thank God, MCP will not win the elections. Evil will not prevail.
Point of order my brother, why is this current govt not arresting her??????? There was warrant of arrest when JB was in USA and it is over a year since she came back, use your brains baba, if she is cuilty of cashgate why is current govt not arresting her???????????
This is because the current govt knows that she (JB) also holds information against DPP on cashgate related matters since the time of Bingu – of which she can use it gainst DPP. Therefore, a thieve (DPP) is unable to arrest another thieve (JB)…wake up !!!! wait for SKC…he will arrest all of them.
YOU WILL BE SURPRISED TO SEE THE 9 MONTHS PARTY UTM TO COME TO POWER. CHAKWERA AND JB WILL LOOSE THIS GAME BELIEVE ME OR NOT, WORSE MORE DPP.
mchifukwa chiyani anthu amene ali ndi mbiri yoyipa yopindula ndi katangale(ndalama za misonkho ya amalawi) akupanga endorse chakwela and not Chilima. ask Ben Phiri, Muli and almost every dpp member amene akuwona kuti DPP zake zada they all would rather have chakwela as president and not Chilima. That’s not a good sign of a government to be formed by MCP. You can’t have thieves endorsing a good government for you. You always choose someone who will tolerate your behaviour. IT’S YOUR VOTE.
Don’t be cheated Chikutumbwe, DPP is ahead of the MCP, whether you like it or not. DPP will emerge the winner, and that is a fact. Just watch and see.
There’re so many important things to watch and see but not this one
I love charades. Makes life sweet. See you on 21 May 2019!
fooling reporter
who told you to write this misleading article
you seem to be against the mcp-pp coalitions
usova
WE NEED GOVERNMENT OF NATIONAL UNITY …WELL DONE MCP a.d PP
The paln is to weaken MCP, Chakwera doesn’t know this, analoweza ‘ atibera’ I like the true definition of this Game which is ‘Ndale’ not the modest and literal translation ‘ Politics’.
You think Dr Laz is a walk over?? Lets wait and see. The spirit of God his teacher will lead and guide his decisions
In the next 10 days he is the president of this country and he will make it mighty again.
Ucitsiluwo ndiwo umenewo. That is all you are interestedin, cabinet posts.Koma mai iwe umaganizadi? musawabvotele awa and kenaka athawanso kupita ku America. Useless woman.
