Kabwila calls Mutharika govt ‘incompetent’

September 16, 2014 Wanga Gwede- Nyasa Times 89 Comments

Malawi Congress Party (MCP) spokesperson Jessie Kabwila has branded the Peter Mutharika led government as incompetent and out-of-touch.

Kabwila said in parliament when lawmakers from across the political divide expressed dismay that ministers were undermining the National Assembly by not answering questions tabled by MPs in the august House.

Kabwila: DPP is incompetent and hopeless
Kabwila: DPP is incompetent and hopeless

Former vice president Khumbo Kachali also voiced his concerns, saying business is being stalled because of the ministers’ failure to answer questions.

Kachali advised cabinet ministers to make it a point to attend Parliament during question and answer sessions.

The MCP spokeswoman went ballistic, blasting the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) administration for being hopeless.

“Stop calling this a caring government,” Kabwila who is Salima North West MP, said calling to Mutharika to get a grip on an “incompetent government”.

She said: “This is an incompetent government.”

Kabwira said the DPP-led government is behaving as if they are not ready to government.

MP for Chiradzulu East Constituency, Henry Mussa , who is also cabinet minister said: “This is not a place where you come and prove how good you are at using negative language.”

Restoring order, First Deputy Speaker of Parliament Esther Mcheka Chilenje  told the legislators “we are all honourable members and this is an honourable house which challenges us to treat it with the respect it deserves.”

She said the very fact of their being elected as MPs was enough sign that they were all competent, hence the trust that their constituents bestowed upon them with their votes.

  1. kodi ameneyu amavuta akasuta chamba chakecho bwanji,anzako akasuta amayakhura za nzeru ngati amzake alephera osawakonza bwanji? izi zingoonetsa kuti suganiza polakhura.

  6. Che ndusu, keep your silly phapharing to yourself. what does ngonde or whatever shit you call your damned tribe mean to the next person. Fools like you can surely march into their graves shouting bayethe. And of what use is a dead fool. These people in government must really hasten the process of ridding Malawi of you monkeys. You are sickening. So the whole you thinks ‘war’ every time things don’t favour you? And you think a war is nsima ya chinangwa. Very foolish. Make all the noise your damned knuckle-head can wish for, but one day you will wish you hadn’t talked so out of your shallow mind. A few motherf…….rs won’t even need live ammunition. Please shut the f……k up and continue being alive.

  7. Kabwila is right. These ministers are not only incompetent, but they are taking the nation for granted. Parliament was half empty during question and answer session. Where were the ministers? Just because the president is out of the country does not mean that they should stop attending parliament sessions.Is it right to expect MPs to remain silent when ministers are not performing their duties?What kind of representatives would they be for their constituencies if they did not speak up. We should all be thankful for MPs like Kabwila, a lesser person could have also just called it a day and gone home. I commend her for speaking up.

  12. Sometimes it pays to have MPs in the August House who can call a spade by its real name and provoke debate. Not every one can afford to use diplomatic language when one sees beaurocratic tendancies that drag parliamentaly progress by failure to provide answers to questions served sometime back. The Deputy speaker should have, instead, rebuked such beaurocratic tendancies in the public service.

  15. ntema wakula ndi sange kabwila ndatsogoleli ake onse amadwala motu wawukulo sifundo zimenezo zomanga taona ndisanje,adikile adzaziona.akadzawina mulungu akadzalola,

  16. No!no!no! I beg u please lets not speak like that, am not a tumbuka but I feel we should not be castigating on each other. This is our country if we dont’ love each other what cud be the consequences. All differences must be sorted out amicably. divided we will fall and united we will stand.

  17. I just discovered most comments against kabwila are out of subject.In this case a sober mind would want 2know if indeed some ministers shun parliamentary procedings or not. If they fail to attend to parliament then those defending them could b lost in partisan politics, dont know civics and in need of civic education.or de ministers are blunk and in dire need of oriantation,perhaps they hire competent personal assistant who are more educated than them.

  18. why malawian u speak things that have no direction when u say north iz dead,look at yourself and think dont speak wat u dont know and this is not a time toarse each aza every malawian haz no limitation,north,south either central region lets build malawi every thing has time like season change ,.,, look forward

  20. Why was Kamuzu staying in the South, not central or ku thengere the dead north ask yourselves???

    South will remain Malawi, while central will be called Visanza or Nyau country and dead north will be called Thengere or simply Tumbuka country.

    South has more educated people (one of them is Prof. Peter who in 1971 taught at London university this was the period when racism was at its best in the UK. Did Kamuzu ever teach in England??? No. Among all the Malawians whose CV is closer to Butulos Butulos Ghali, if it is not Prof. Pete’s only.) Let us tigawane typical of a woman in the bible who had pressed her newly born dead in the sleep and later switched it with her live friend’s child, and when King Solomon ruled that they slaughter and share the only live one, the mfiti welcomed the trying judgement and later discharged the wisest judgement in favour of the other who stated that the King should give it to her, as cant kill her own child.
    People of the North are failures and losers in society so are seeking sympathy all the time. First of all please siyani Kuzikonda ndi kukondera. Look at OBAMA, a black guy was voted twice in the while belt-regions, why???? He is the best despite being black.
    One Tumbuka will also be voted into Sanjika if he proves to be the best and different from other racist Tumbukas……Kikiki, Tumbukas will never rule Malawi

    2. Which Malawi are you talking about you foolish idiot?? We don’t want to rule your banana republic. We will rule our own country which is coming soon! And you will see how we catch up and overtake your silly so called cities you aren’t even ashamed to be proud of!!!

  21. Central and Northern Regions should put more fire on federalism. I whole heartedly support this noble cause. Boko Halaam, Scotland and several other countries and states are seriously advocating for secession or federalism why can’t the Central and Northern Regions of Malawi not do the same? It is just a matter of time the two regions will become autonomous sooner than later.

  23. Paja zimaterotu wakuba akaba zinthu zoti sakudziwa chochita nazo. Inu munavotera DPP’nu munaliika dzikoli pamavuto aakulu kwambiri. Chipani cholamula ndi moto!!

  24. Inu anthu a kumpoto mwayamba bwino, ife a pakati tili nanu limodzi. tiwasiye amapwiyawa alamulirane okha okha

  25. Friends, this issue is not about Kabwila or anybody else, its about Malawi. Attacking Kabwila for what she said or says in parliamentwill not save matters let alone MCP or DPP. We elected them to represent us there so let them battle it out in parliament not outside the august house. Let the ministers be there to give responses to our MPs and not just walking around, opening silly workshops. It doesnt make sense even Khumbo Kachale stressed the same point.

  27. There is need to educate some Bulituzi on feudalism. They don’t understand and claim North want to become a country on its own. My political science lecture at Oxford need to educate these lomwes. We are speaking a different language. We northerners want desalinization and don’t foul people with your lomwe interpretation of it.

  28. When calling gov’t incompetent you must point out two or three facts of substance and make suggestions of how to move forward.For the gov’t this is a wakeup call.Clean the closet.The reason why people want change in life is because they are tired of seeing,hearing or being promised same things all the time without fulfillment.About Federalism,wow,this is a non starter.Government must just implement national programs without favor .LISIKU LYA MBONE KWA A MALAWI WOSOPE.

  30. we’re back to bingu’s stupid govt. peter is almost 99% bingu’s tactics.with no doubt this govt will shortly be like an estate.we shall shortly be facing all estate structures!remember, majority age left malawi during bingu’s & this will happen again. GOD OF MERCY SAVE US.AMEN!

  31. If DPP is incompetent, why did mcp accept defeat? Kabwila! are you toasted? You should thank DPP coz big projects have been done in central region for the past 8yrs and it doesn’t need to mention one by one but the southerners never complain. You want to start again making noise??? Muziyamika DPP poisintha Lilongwe. Mind you,it hurts us when accusing DPP and you should know that its pple voted for it.

  32. kabwila ukunama. akakuitanira ndege upita. kenaka akuitanira ku bedroom. koma ndiyetu usikuwo mdima wokha wokha. bola osadzidzimuka. kikiki nkhopeyo nkhopeyo

  33. We are not talking of regiöns but we are saying that the DPP government is useless, hopeless, helpless and meaningless. There is nothing better that can be offered by the ligging and failing government.

  34. It would have been better if some people were not born. They just make God to cry. We Malawians are suffering because of greedy people. For Example Undule Mwakasungula created trouble which is haunting Malawians now. Many people are suffering. Now some with greedy minds are also stirring trouble. But remember YOU NEED NOT TO LOOK FOR TROUBLE. Poor Malawians are already suffering.

  35. Malawians think along tribes. Malawi is Tribal Fearing Nation The Hot Heart of Africa too big to be one country imagine 14 million people but land mass is 5 times less that Zambia. Koto ine!! Why did my forefathers bring me to this hearthly hell called Malawi? Where tribes hate each other as intense as hell fire with political leaders behaving as wild animals with church leaders being blind as Bartimeus. God punish this country with Ebola please!

    1. Figurately you are grasping at straw, perhaps you need to apply the idiom which states that SILENCE IS GOLDEN”.

  36. Pano pacentral napo tikufuna feudalism of Government because no ways the whole central region basi kungokhala ndi nduna yimodzi mu boma?Zimenezi sizingatheke tiyesesa kuti tigwilizane ndi aku mpoto kuti boma ili likhale la feudalism basi.

  37. Madam Kabwira, please give us a year to prepare ourselves. Remember we stole votes to be where we are and we were not sure as to whether the rigging would work or not. Thanks to the sleepy PP we got our way but we need to reorganise ourselves from rigging bandits to a governing team. Such transformation takes time and I hope Madam Kabwira and team would understand that.

  38. Kabwira if you are against the government because you have not been given ministerial as you demanded in the presidential jet from South Africa, then you will cry and cry for it until you finish all your tears. Stupid Kabwira.

    1. Which rock do you live under KK? Kabwila was offered a ministerial post right after the elections, along with Atupele Muluzi and she turned it down as a matter of principle. She refused to cross the floor and join DPP unlike some political prostitutes.

  39. Kabwira if you fail to manage a family which is a gathering of five or six people, how can you manage a collection of 15 million plus plus. I mean you don’t qualify to even somebody’s family adviser. You can bring more fires in the family. Yes you failed to run your family affairs. You are a failure.

  41. Remember how the so called head of state failed the education ministry and other ministries he headed. So for me I am not surprised at all. Leadership is very important to drive the needed change and I do not think Peter is the kind of leader this country needs. How on earth would a minister be allowed to go to the august house empty headed. This is panthetic and a waste of tax payer’s funds. And when you hear that someone has already declared his interest to stand in 2019 one concludes that yes we are doomed as a nation.

  42. I think JK is right. Ministers should be able to answer questions in parliament, especially in the absence of the gallivanting president who is out to honey moon where he will spend one month in the name of attending UN meeting. How could the president leave the country when parliament is in session discussing the stupid zero aid budget? I thought he was supposed to be there to defend his stupid ideas. People like JK should be listened to otherwise we will have a parliament that rubber stamp everything that stupid people present to the august house. The days of “Zonse zimene mukambirane kumeneko tizagwirizana nazo” are long gone.

  43. I initially could not really understand this lady but now am really convinced that she is much much more intelligent that most those who call themselves men in that august house and in this country generally. Her brabbings are actually backed by her reasoning and facts. No doubt about it. Keep it up Kabwila, am now behind u

  45. What Kind of Technocrats Ministers who are failing to answer basic qusestions of Good Governance of Malawi? Can we say these Ministers are just lazy-doers by themselves or they are acting on Instruction from the Central Executive Powers of the President?

    It is however the tendency of the Government of DPP to take easy of any important issues of Malawi…What I know Competent Technocrats will not fail to answer useful questions of Parliament!

    When the Government is incompetent what follows is “Vote of No Confidence in the Government” therefore if the Government of Peter Mutharika is incompetent,vote of no confidence must follow and Malawi must soon go to the Polls and moreover we had incredible May 2014 Presidential Election, for this reason it shows Peter is ruling by chance, we don’t want chancers rule, we want accounntable and transparent government!

  47. Mzimayiyu Kwake Nkubwetuka Basi!! Sindimamvetsa Chifukwa Chomwe Amaphatikizira Nkhani Zakunyumba Yamalamulo Ndi Boma La Dpp!! Kuphunzira Sikuthadi!!!!

  48. Kabwila-Kapasula will always be purveyor is hyperbole. Criticizing to the extreme, and always no suggestion for alternatives. That approach does not win votes on the national scene. People see straight through her cheap politics. MCP will lose the next elections, with outspoken Kabwila as spokesperson. Period.

  50. EEEEEEH, KOMA OPPOSITION YADYA FRUSTRATION. MCP, PP, AKUSOWA MTENGO WOGWILA. DIKILANI MUWONE BOMA LIKAYAMBA KUPANGA IMPLEMENT MA PROJECT, GAME YANU IGONA BASI

  51. MP wathu waku Central region ndi amene anayamba kunena za federalism/secession mu Parliament, kuti federalism ndi yofunika muno mu Malawi. Kumpoto mukutsatira ife apakati. On federalism, the Central is supporting the system. Mp from the Central is the one who introduced the issue in Parliament. Ndiye musamati ndinu akumpoto munayambitsa za federalism. WE STRONGLY SUPPORT FEDERAL SYSTEEM IN CENTRAL REGION!!! Hear! hear!hear!. Federalism siitanthauza kugawa dziko! Ngati simudziwa khalani chete, musasonyedze umbuli wanu. Malawi will still have one President

  52. Ouch!!!!! The truth hurts. I totally agree with Jessie, DPP lead administration is totally clueless. Lets just beautify Malawi everything will fall in place hahahahahaha

    1. I guarantee you azakwezananso ndegeyp. Not only that, adzayitanana for a cup of tea (or a tot poti onse ndi choncho). You know, they may be “enenmies” in fron of you?us. Koma kuseli, they speak the same academia language. kuseli akhoza kusutsana mwaukali. At the end, they will pat each other on the back because to the them, ‘you agree to disagree. Am sure Peter enjoyed the airborne discussion with fellow learned. amatopa nazo zomugwadila ndima sir at the beginning and the end of each sentence. The likes of Jesse takes him back to the professor/lecture’s floor/wing.

  54. Dont be fooled about federal system of government. Central region is for it too. Kungoti they are operating underground. One day you will see that the north and the centre are talking of the same. Just wait and see. This is becasue of naked nepotism in DPP.

  55. Kabila is always right.
    Writing is on the wall. Malopa sangayendetse dziko inu, Koma zithunzi za maliseche azimayi

  56. lets wait and see…..but i think kabwira z right…………………………………our own votes willl turn into d big dropps of tears

  57. Kabwila is paid by MCP to be talking like a parrot. She has no sense of communicating and speaking. Each Malawian must understand this. She is always too mouthful but never near working out an alternative or solution

    She must know the difference between a sin and a sinner. The way she jumps from ministerial failure to answer questions premise to Mtharika and DPP is appalling

  58. What does a teacher of English know about running a government? Osamangosuta chamba bwanji? If you failed to manage your family how can you point a finger at those managing a complex thing as governement? Shut up shupit Zako. Having said that, I know my point is fallacious!!!! KKKKKK

    2. Iwe student of logic, Kabwira is very right. Kabwira being an English teacher is very fundamental for this country. She will teach the Kaliatis’ , the winikos’ etc how to speak good English, Kkkkkkkkk. If Ministers are not ready to answer questions in Parliament, is that the complexity you are referring to? Or May be complex in rigging and touching ballot papers in warehouses? Shaaaaaame!!!!

    3. Student of Logic do you know that keeping quiet is the main reason why cashgate was such a success in our country? Juniors saw their leaders siphoning cash and they just kept silent because they were not brave enough to alert someone and ruffle feathers. Look were we are now as a nation. This zero aid budget is going to hurt all of us, despite all the bravado being shown by the Finance Minister. So when the very same ministers don’t show up in parliament, the Jessie Kabwila’s of this world should keep quiet? Do you love your counrty Student of Logic? or are you more interested in making personal attacks on Kabwila for your own hidden reasons? Wake up! Sometimes we have to hold hands with people we may not like in order to save ourselves.

  59. Nkazi ngati unamufunsira ndi kukukana,wina ndi kumukwatira zimawawa.Ndiye mbeta Kabwila akungopitiliza kuwononga mbiri yake yoipa kale ndi mwano wakewo.MUNYA MABI OSANGANIZA NDI MAGAZI.KUZOLOWERA KUSINTHA AMUNA NGATI MALAYA.DPP MPAKA 2019WOOOOOOOOO!

  66. DPP is on an endless honeymoon after fraudulently winning the general election. This Lomwe led government will destroy Malawi’s chances to develop. The professor seems lost. Get to business man, what are you waiting for?

  67. SAULOS Ananena Kale ku MASINTHA Ndi Ku Stadium Ku LL kuti Bwanji A DPP Mukupindira MICHIRA Ngati Agalu ??? Mumayesa Akunama ???? Mbendera anamuwowoza ku Bt Zonsezi Athuwa Nthumanzi zikuespeza ndithu !!! ALAPE NDITHU !!!

  69. Amayi awa adangobadwa olongolola basi. Dikilani 2019 ngati mungadzawine koma ndakaika. MCP singadzalowenso mboma as far as malawians are concerned. Mwakwera yakuphwa mayi.

  71. Kabwila khala chete, MCP ndiyo inalowetsa umphawi m’Malawi chifukwa ibalephera kupanga chitukuko Ndalama ikadali ndi mphamvu. MCP ndiyo inaba koopsya.
    NDIYE USAMATI MINISTERS AKULEPHERA KUYANKHA MAFUNSO OPUSAWO.
    I WILL HATE MCP UNTIL THIS PARTY ENDS.

  72. Arg, just keep quiet Kabwilabwila. We established that this Gvt is incompetent long time ago, now we are onto bigger than you things, secession. Where have you been? Under a rock? Ooooohhh the jet saga…. My bad sorry.
