Kabwila rubbishes Jumbe’s decision to join DPP: ‘I will remain MCP despite challenges’
Malawi Congress Party’s (MCP) member of Parliament (MP) for Salima North-West constituency, Dr. Jessie Kabwila said she will remain MCP member despite that some members within the party are hell bent at finishing her off politically.
Kabwila said this on Sunday during political rally she organized at Katitima Primary school ground in her constituency.
She attacked some members for creating false stories about her association with other political groupings, insisting that she cannot join the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP).
“It’s still absurd to learn that some party members are still on my neck. Even going further to dissolve my constituencycommittee. They are doing all this despite my issues with the party is in the court.
Kabwila, however, reiterated her commitment and loyalty to MCP, saying whatever happens, she will die a member of the party.
“I will remain MCP and die MCP,” fumed Kabwira franked by MCP vice district chairperson and constituency chair.
Kabwila disclosed that her fight is not against the current readership of MCP or individuals but making sure that the party’s constitution is being respected and followed.
“My fight is to make sure that everyone respect and follow MCP constitution and not against the current readership as others portrays,” she said.
Kabwil said she believe that MCP is the next government and that joining DPP is wasting of time and killing of her political career.
Meanwhile, Kabwila said the decision by MP for Salima Central Felix Jumbe owho was expelled in MCP to join DPP is not wise.
Jumbe has relocated and wants to contest the 2019 tripartite elections in Salima North Constituency.
Some political commentators described the move as a ploy by Jumbe to give way to the current Minister of Justice, Samuel Tembenu SC, who is likely to contest the Salima Central parliamentary seat on DPP ticket for the second time.
Ironically, Jumbe floored Tembenu in the 2014 tripirtite elections with a small margin.

I can see that many people are not as sharp as Kabwira is. What she fighting for is one thing: respect of the MCP constitutions. The joining of the party by Sidik Mia saw MCP start disrespecting the structures, accommodating Mia into high level decision making processes when, in fact, he was not supposed to according to the constitution. Kabwira’s stance that structures need to be respected is exactly what is expected of a party that is to govern us. Jesse looks evil but at most we’ve know her to belong to one party in her her – that’s MCP. Ena akupangitsa kuti constitution isiye kutsatidwawa muwaone kuti asintha zipani zingati. Ndalama ndi zimenezo koma lamumulo liyenera kutsatidwa. Ndithudi zokoma zina tikuzionazi zili ngati maluwa ongodikira zuwa liwale.
Jesse, continue fighting a good fight. I have always known as as a fighter. If Bingu (mhsrip) were still arrive he would agree with me. Mukhitho too knows you. Chirunga soils know you well. You battle will be won sonner or later.
Mukanangochepetsako pang’ono kukula mtima kwanuko mai.
Ngati ukufunikanso ku DPP.
Ukunama u r fighting for what blocking the president to form a winning team iya go to hell. Chakwera is preparing for 2019 and u r still in 2014 with ur useless team zako izo ulibe timing wakusiya wekha njovuyalema amakunamiza uja now he is party of the winning Chakwera Mia group
Sukulu sinakupindulile ndalama unapata ku mp wamwela mowa zonse back ku umphawi ku uphunzitsi galu
Mission impossible without MCP base for the Hon Kabwila. It’s hard to tell if she really love the party when she’s seen with DPP cronies & siding with those against the leadership hence constitutional issues should be handled in-house than going to the press for public attention.
Nanga inu a Kabwila olo muli ndi vuto muchipani mwanu mungapite kuti komwe angakulandileni.
Kabwila said the decision by MP for Salima Central Felix Jumbe owho was expelled in MCP to join DPP is not wise. It is better to confuse the party from inside. kikkkikii
Kudos
The Problem with you Kabwira is you cannot control your emotion when reacting issues, every political party has its own problems but we do not see members of those parties reacting the way you do. olo pa banja amamvesesana anthu, you should be the first person to teach other mcp members about good communication
Kabwila’s statement or belief that “… MCP is the next government and joining DPP is a wasting (sic) of time …” smacks of maximum opportunism; and that it is the only reason she wants to stay in MCP.
Such politicians do not last long in office, because all they want is power, when their party wins elections. Without a strong political rationale, and not sharing a set of beliefs of the party, and power being the raison detre, such a politician is doomed to failure. Kabwila is NOT a team player: and o’Chakwera should have listened to people who personally know the lady. But, of course, the Reverend knew best!
Is the way she’s forcing herself onto the Party, really show or demonstrate a mature personality in politics (or even in personal relationships) considering how she’s been and is being spurned, or put through the wringer really hard?
And Kabwila’s days may be numbered now, as it is clear that even the Party at the grass root structure, does not want her.
She’s lapping up the admiration by young admirers, by smiling politely. No hubris here from her , for a change, because they see her already a role model. But the admiration is politically meaningless, as she may NOT even get the nomination for MCP: those admirers do not deliver the votes come nomination time. There will be division, if not war, in the constituency; thus paving the way for other Parties to become competitive, when the area should really be a safe heaven for MCP.
One wonders if Kabwila, deep both in her head and heart, she really reconciled with the pschological and physical atrocities that Party inflicted on her person, and her family when she was a very young girl in the Jehovah’s Witness? That Kamuzu, Son of a Gun, had no decency, and knew no boundaries when it came to persecuting people – any person.
Furthermore, there is no way present day MCP leaders don’t think about their Party’s near Nazi like history. The thoughts alone may be alone to prevent some of them from sleeping some nights.
Anywhere else, MCP would have been abolished, or sued into bankruptcy when the dictatorship was abolished. But us Malawians, we simply didn’t how to play hard politics. We were just too empathetic.
Finally, the Party and its leader are not longer enamored by Kabwila. Perhaps she could salvage some personal pride if she left voluntarily. The sooner, the better. Here’s wishing her luck outside of politics.
Mai Kabwila, i think pali kupelewela pangóno chabe kuti mufike pamene mukufuna.
Ndikanakonda kuti mwina mungodzichipesa momwe mungathere kulumukizana ndi azanu onse, chifukwa chomwe chikundidabwitsa ndi chakuti pakati pa anthu nonsenu, ndani sakulemekeza malamulo achipani? kodi tinene kuti inu nokha ndiye wokhoza ena onse olakwa? just swallow your pride and go back to that table, so that tichotse Mbavazi.
Mayi Kabwila ngovuta zochitika thats why banja linawavuta. Too much pride kuzimva sugar kwabasi. Thats why she couldn’t cope at chancellor college she is a trouble maker
Though I don’t like your usual outburst Jesse I feel that’s the way to go.Show everybody that you are a real MCP member,in a way people like you are the once strengthen the party.Sometimes its good osamangoti “yes bwana”.. The bwana must also realize that they are people who can stand up and oppose the wrongs..” Those that are running away will live to face another day”..Big up Jesse,but my plea to you and others is to sort out your differences with the leadership ASAP for the good of the party..Looking forward to see MCP in government in 2019.God bless MCP.
I support Dr Jessie Kabwila, to remain in the party she is not wrong to differ with other party members be it for NEC or general members all I can advise is the two sides need to seat and resolve so that peace issues can be fostered and all we need too is for Dr Chakwera to start telling Malawians on how he shall transform Malawi so that we may claim back our well known being as a ‘warm heart of Africa’ where peace and tranquility had its course of that time where vocabularies like cashgate, maize gate were not existing,
Sure!
