Kaliati challenges Chakwera on integrity: ‘MCP leader pocketed Cashgate money from JB’
Reverend Lazarus Chakwera, who is presidential candidate for the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) is said to have received millions of Kwacha in campaign funding from the then ruling People’s Party (PP) during the 2014 elections, according to Patricia Kaliati, UTM Party Secretary General.


Kaliati made the revelation in Mangochi, Sunday, during a rally held by the party in the district.
“Chakwera received millions of Cashgate money from Joyce Banda and, up to this day, his party does not even know exactly how much you received.
“I know what I am talking about, take me to court if you want to be embarrassed,” Kaliati said.
A former senior PP official has since collaborated the story saying the strategy was meant to distabilise the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) by making MCP stronger in areas where PP was failing to make inroads against DPP but where MCP had a better chance.
“It was a lot of money and there are a number of fellow senior members in the party at that time who are familiar with that operation,” he said.
Chakwera, initially, ran a very aggressive anti-Joyce Banda campaign, during the 2014 elections campaign, at one point naming her the ‘Queen of Cashgate’ and demanding answers on the sale of the Presidential Jet.
But the attacks suddenly started to fizzle just near the 2014 elections before grinding to a complete cessation by the time Malawi went to the polls in May.
This was followed by another peculiar event during the post- elections fiasco: while attempting to annul the elections and force a re-run, JB was quick to tell the nation that she was not going to participate in the re-run but would endorse Chakwera, instead.
But sensing that the move was not garnering sufficient public support, Chakwera abandoned JB and did not even have the decency to show up at State House for a meeting to discuss how to move the plan forward, leaving Banda holding the bag.
“Amayi (Mother) was really angry when Chakwera disappeared at a time she really wanted him to rally around her plan to have the elections annulled.
“Only late James Nyondo and his delegation showed up, at that meeting and Amayi was livid,” said the former PP senior official privy to the issue.
Chakwera could not immediately comment on Kaliati’s remarks as Nyasa Times went online with the story.
MCP secretary general and party spokesperson have been asked to provide a comment on theis story and Nyasa Times will give the party their right to be heard.

It is interesting to say ACB should investigate the money Chakwera pocketed from JB, what offence is there? All what we want is ACB to investigate JB if she pocketed money from cashgate, then the money given to Chakwera will be deemed proceeds of a crime. Otherwise whether Dr Chakwera got or not, there is no offence committed and whether Chakwera revealed the amount to colleagues or not it an internal party issue where up to now no party insider has complained to any authority. So I see no substance in this issue.
heheh mwaona masiku akutherani,munalikuti monse muja?inu kwanuko simukudya za cashgate za chilima hahahha musandiseketse chakwera 2019 boma!!!!muona kuti mutani
kodi iwe Kaliati suja unavula Mzimayi kuti ma cadet amugwilile chifukwa umamuganizila kuti amanyengana ndi amuna ako? Mayi woyipa iwe.
UTM gurus, if you have issues worthy investigating, just report to ACB and Police so that such issues can be taken to courts otherwise attacking individuals won’t help the party win elections. It’s like frustration is catching up with all of you. Mind you, UTM has to live beyond 21st May 2019, after all the party is less than a year old. Give it time please!!
I see UTM full of frustrated and power hungry politicians starting with SKC himself, Kaliati, Masangwi, Ngalande, Kabwila, Msowoya and the list is endless. Most of them won’t make it to the honourable house mark my words!!
CHILIMA IS GOING NOWHERE
MCP cadets take a breath before you go overboard. You cannot chastise Kaliati without doing the same to Sidik Mia’s rants on the podium. If that is the case then you are hypocrites.
EMUSIPI Youth Leaguers are back for sure with their gule wamkulu politics of death and darkness. Why stoop so low to insult the decency of a woman just for pointing out the corruption of the fake accent ex-reverend? Is he a holy cow or a human being replete with greed? Get alive youth leaguers and aerial chairmen.
Just mind your business talking of corruption is a huge and wide issue as it begins with your so called sec. he has just recently revealed that they rigid the elections alongside his colleagues like dausi. stop talking bullshit as if you’re any better at all. this is 2019 and the Spirit of the Almighty is over us for a fight against all the evil people from team A Dpp and team B Utm
Mama Kaliati , have u forgotten that ur president told the nation that he gets funding from some DPP top officials. Is that money clean? Should we trust u madam midnight six that u have turned to an angel. My vote cannot go to untrustworthy person who keeps a secrete of MEC warehouse burning. Trust me u will regret on 21 May God will do wonders this year on mother Malawi.
And have you forgotten that Mia said him and Harry Mkandawire are funders of MCP Kalikokha?
Chakwera cant win, he is not presidential at all and is not intellectually gifted. He is not even street smart. It is however his corruption and lack of ethics that makes him completely unsuitable for the presidency.
If there is anyone who sees things the way I see it’s you Big Man. He is not street smart indeed. Being a Pastor is not a qualification to be a Head of State & Government. As much as we love our Pastors to be on the Pulpit and win souls to the Lord. With all due respect Dr Chakwera doesn’t cut it to be the President of Malawi.
You don’t know the meaning of pastor, you and your friend, I wish it would be good to keep quiet than kuonetsa umbuli pano. Have you ever have a time and ask for a good leaders in your country? Useless comments coming from useless Keene Obseriver and Bigman. If you ever did praying wHicham I don’t believe that you go to church, now one has come, you are saying he is not fit to be the President and you said in Malawi, is he not a Malawian? Educated fools!!
U r used kulamulidwa ndi mbava,,chilima mbanva ndiazinzake a masangwi,,musova ife chakwera bomaaaaa tatopananu a dpp team A nd B
If what Kaliati is saying, the the reporters show their skills to investigate the truth of this claim. Am sure I it should be true, if Kaliati has challenged Chakwera to sue her for defamation if she is lying, then it is something worthy investigating. Anti corruption should also investigate this issue, it is serious in nature. Thanks Kaliati for revealing this. Mwambi walero. “ chisamakomere Mbuzi kugunda Galu, koma Galu akati abwezere nkumati ngwachiwewe uyo njateni”
kkkkkkkk Ndinthumbidwadi izi eti !!!!!!
Nthumbidwa ndi inu a psyuta, mukufuna kumbira lameness Nsanje wanu ukuwonekera. Is it not MCP that were even getting party materials from another party when John Tembo was President of the party. You are beneficiaries Of cashgate money. Truth and nothing but Truth.
Yes expose them cos some can not differentiate between Wolves & Sheep. Bring them in the open for the world to see & know who really they’re.
I see the following lossing parliamentary seats;
Kaliati,
Manganya,
Lucius Banda,
Chidanti Malunga,
Massngwi,
Shaniel,
Shame on them. We will vote for MCP. Mwangowononga ndalama zanu.
EEEEEeee koma ma supporters a MCP mwakalipa, mpaka calling Patricia a bitch, with no evidence. maka uyu akuzitchula kuti alamu mwakalamba pumani. eish! you are a dog for sure. have decency please for women.
Looks like Akweni has run short of issues because I didn’t expect her to stoop so low as to start name calling; something strange of late in UTM. How many cashgate beneficiaries are there in UTM? Several, I would say. And this is where it gets tricky with SKC. How is he going to deal with the likes of Masangwi, Makondi, Ngalande , just to mention but a few, when he starts his purge. Some things are better left quiet until the day of reckoning.
Akweni mwatha nzeru. Mwaona kuti mukuluza. Bwelerani ku DPP akulandilani.
Ok
Rivals fighting for leader of opposition
The bitch is finished. She will soon live a miserable life like late Marjorie Ngaunje who begged from us Maseko Ngonis. The entire utm executive is losing. Kaliati is losing, Willet Karonga is losing, Noel Masangwi is losing, Lucius Banda is losing, Chidanti Malunga is losing, Usi is losing, Kambala is losing, Winiko is losing, etc. The new government should introduce legislation to pay VPs and others once and not life time benefits. We can’t be feeding people who are doing nothing. It’s bringing laziness in these people and they don’t care because they say government will take care of them forever. This must stop.
Well analysed. In fact these pumbwas and gulukunyindas have already lost their plots. Asova
Kaliati you are worse than a dog anakuchotsa unduna Peter Chifukwa cha kuba, masangwi wakuba chilima wakubaso
Chakwera King of Cashgate benefits….JB Queeen of Cashgate. Mwagwa nayo. mmati munabisala. no wonder the alliance. kkkk game yakukulirani.
Kodi amalawi mwaiwala kuti chakwela ndi JB anakumana ku state house 2014? kumene tonse sitikudziwa kuti amakambilana chiyani.kabwila anavomela koma nkuti chakwela pastor atakana nkumati sanakumane 2014.anadzavomela mtolakhani atamuuza kutitu kabwila waulula kale ndie akunena zoona ndani?
The story looks suspecious, as Nyasatimes has also hidden name of the reporter.
I have said it for the upteenth time the fake accent ex-reverend is someone the nation cannot trust. His human side is very wicked. After using Abhiti Kazhigheti as a meal card lero wakwera joisi ….kkkkkkkkk
MAYI WADYERA UYU KU UDF ANANUTHANGITSA KU DPP WATHAMANGANSO OSAKHAZIKIKA APA NDE JUTHA YU UKU
JB mukawafunse anthu a kwawo kwa Malemia. mzimai ozunza azimai anzake zedi. Woipitsitsa zones zikhale zake. She is devilish
Neighbour mutu sukugwira. Ma endosement achuluka. When JB wanted to partener with UTM she was a saint but when partener with MCP she is a cashgater. Mmmmmmhh chilipo chomwe mudachera kuti mukapge mbomamu. Hi 5 on the move. One nation one vision
UTM in a self destructive mode. Simungawine inu. Mwachepa. Ndinu ana kwabasi.
MADAM KALIATI MUST COME WITH CLEAN HANDS .THESE ARE KICKS OF A DYING HORSE. THIS IS INDEED UTM IN A DISTRUCTIVE MODE ,FIRST IT WAS SAULOS CHILIMA WHO ADMITTED THAT INDEED IT WAS THE DPP EVIL MACHINERY THAT HAD EARLIER ON BURNT THE WHARE HOUSE THAT HAD KEPT THE BALLOT PAPERS THAT BELONGED TO THE PEOPLE OF MALAWI.
CHILIMA IS SO INTOXICATED AND GREED FOR POWER THAT HE FORGOT THAT HE WAS INFACT SHOOTING HIS GUN AT HIS OWN FOOT.
HE HAS ADMITTED THAT DPP MACHINERY BURNT UP THE WARE HOUSE THAT HAD PAPERS BELONGING TO MALAWIANS, ALAS FORGETTING THAT AT THE TIME THE HOUSE WAS BURNT CHILIMA WAS PART OF THE VERY DPP.
SO FELOW MALAWIANS IF WE LOVE OUR COUNTRY LET US VOTE FOR CHANGE AND THE CHANGE THAT WILL HELP US.
SO LETS PRAY FOR OUR NATION AND LET GOD HELP US SO THAT WE SHOULD NOT BE GOVERNED BY EVIL PEOPLE.
IF THEY HAD CONIVED AND BURNT UP OUR PAPAERS WHY SHOULD WE TRUST THEM WITH OUR LIVES???????????
A BIG NOOONONONONON NO
NO TO EVIL MINDEDPEOPLE
GOD BLESSMALAWI
Musatiyankhulitse pambali pakhundu tulupaona,PP isanafike ku MCP inayamba kukambilana ndi utm.Mukadafuna kuti a Malawi akwa Bumphula, Tulonkhondo ndi Lelebzya akukhulupilireni mukadayamba kunena ndalama zomwe mudalandila kuchokera kwa JB.Iwe ndi chilima wakoyo ,mzimu wobwebweta wakukanthani,kenaka muyamba kunena momwe munadyela ndalama za chipepeso cha malemu Bingu.
Iweyo Kaliati unadya ndalama za Vwaza Marsh Project fotseki
Honestly speaking UTM can not and will not be frustrated as events unvail themselves now
Not even can fake accent and his party of death and darkness EMUSIPI be trusted…..kkkkkkk
This Reverend is fake not only in accent but in his actions. Speaks one thing in public, but completely corrupt in private.
kumeneko ndi kulira kwa ananfedwa
Kupsa mtima kuti Chakwera waiphula kkkkk
Kaliati you have no moral grounds to coment on Chakwera. for over 20 years you have eaten dirty money from UDF and DPP. Kaliati you are the biggest cashgater, liar with no morality. You think that Malawian will listen to you. ng’oooo wauponda Chilima and APM are not different both have stolen our money. Kaliati may be you think we don’t know that you have been there in DPP and enjoy the stealing of our money today you come without shame with your leader SAULOSI CHILIMA to talk about corruption. I wonder what corruption are you referring to because you are the ones who are corruption SHAME on you Kaliati mbuzi yeniyeni.
Kaliati has no ‘mfundo’ to talk about instead she dwelt on castigating Chakwera’s name, saying Lazaro used to eat left overs…guys what has this to do with presidential aspirants. These people are fools, kumeneko kuiopa MCP? At first I thought of voting for UTM, but hearing big foul mouthed Kaliati talk yesterday, aaaa fools are indeed fools, they will never change….I have switched to MCP.
Hule ili limadziyesa lochenjera. Time is up for her. She even betrayed her own husband who stayed with dpp. I wouldn’t have such a woman in my house. Kuposa kwanji Angie kumeneko. Chisiye chinzukwachi
Ukunyoza mai athu kuti mbuz mapwala ako iwe
ANTHUWA AKUYIWOPA MCP ANDI MGWIRIZANO UMENEWU NDI MASTEN AKUMVA PHENI , OLO MUNENE ZOYIPA ZA MCP , CHAKWERA AKUTENGA BOMA NDIPO SKC WILL JOIN THAT MCP
IWEYO KALIATI NDIWE MBAVA
. WABAYIZIKA KWAMBIRI. wabodza kaliati. YANKHULANI MFUNDO ZOMANGA MALAWI OSATI MABODZA AMENEWA
And i wonder why people think Chakwera Is holy man
paja ma articles olembedwa ndi Nyasatimes Reporter amakhala atalembe anyamata ogula space mu nyasa times online paper … apa ndekuti anyamata a UTM ndi DPP… MUSOVA …..CHAKWERA BOMA PA 21 POMPA APA
kaliati wawona kuti chilima akuluza chisankhochi
UTM is completely frustrated. You do not go into government under frustration no no no no no. PP met you UTM for a possible alliance and you rejected her. Today PP is in alliance with MCP now its money exchange kkkkkkk so Kaliati you are out of ideas please UTM is just wasting time of talking against Dr Chakwera our state president from May 21. Articulate fundo zimene muzapange. It is too late to save Jerusalem. Chakwera satukwana sanyoza munthu ali busy kuwawuza a Malawi zomwe awachitire a Malawi akasankhidwa and he is ready and steady to govern the country. Shame on you and if you Kaliati will win a seat praised be the Lord.
Tiyeni nazo
UTM must be very annoyed with the MCP, PP coalition, they hate this coalition more than they do DPP. When Kaliati was in DPP, she should have demanded an inquiry into this but she did not, alas a missed chance
So it means you have agreed that Chakwera received the money ryt? Because your argument is not in any way defending your fake Pastor. Tikuulurani sitikusiyani…….Then Tiwinaso
UTM cannt win …..not all….ife tikungodikira kukuwonani pa 21st May….
Kaliati and SKC anali ma minister and why not saying this that time?
UTM zavuta…..mungofuna DPP ilowenso mmmboma…
Kaliati unkafunakugulisa Vwaza and Nyiko……
UTM u are so frustrated…….so frustrated.. Wait for real frustration….it’s just 14 dys
Nyansi za a Chakwera zayamba kutuluka ndipo sizinati. A Nkhoma Synod muluyankhulapo chani penepa. Timva zambiri.
Hahahhaha…..kambani zina……SKC singawine….Mulimbana naye Chakwera…as soon u are ok bench ya opposition……mudzigwirizana ndi DPP…….kumeneku….
Viva MCP
A Kaliati mwaiwala kale zanu za ku vwaza zija? Na nga za masangwi mukudyazo sizakuba?
Thanks kuti mwavomereza kut adachitadi abusa izi……MCP will not have anything again in Malawi……..I know you are ready so sing Atibera song
MBAVA NDIZAMBIRI KOMA TSOGOLO NDILOWALA
Kusowa zonena, UTM is soiled and they think they can do the same to Dr Laz, forget!!
15 days remaining – MCP boma can’t wait………………..
i dont know where you are taking that confidence ……Malawians are ready for change ye. but mind you we dont change to something we aready know
It’s like you are alone!!!! Kikkkkkkk kkkkk.
Mamam you are not alone. Fake accent ex-reverend is very wicked. He will rot as opposition leader for ever. Let him ask Ungapake.
Mamam ndiwe watulo sudziwa kuti the devil you know is better than an engel you don’t know. Kutengeka mudzalira tsiku lina.
CHAKWERA BOMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Kodi chi boko haram iwenso ukuti chani? Mamam si maina a ma M23 rebels awa, nonsense
UTM mwachedwa! You are not going to make it,let alone in Mangochi. Kaliati, this could be the end of your time as a parliamentarian. DPP will retain your seat. You have 16 days left.
Akweni mukulankhula zosamveka apa,inu chanu palibe,mukaluza kaya mutani,mzanu mkupusitsana naye chilimayo ali ndi pension
Zamkutu zaziiii! We have absolutely no time to respond to nonsense. Akweni is confused completely, mutu sukugwira neba
Kubisa machimo a fake accent…..palibe nthawi yoyankira nonsense ya cashgate wadya mbusa wakeluyu…….koma munthuuuu………kkkkkkk
Imagine. 14 days to polling day: all insane crooks are now paranoid!
How can a member of parliament who failed to vote for important bills while in DPP but promise to do that when she wins on UTM ticket?Umangodziwiratu kuti Mmai uyu nzeru zatha.Musamatitenge AMalawi ngati ana.UTM pamene inapala ndipamenepa.Much as pipo seem to like Chilima but Kaliati as Secretary General it can’t make any difference.The woman is disgruntled.Kaliativpano ndi RasWoman Chikomeni ndiwamolaro basi.No credibility in what she says.
Simple minds discuss people , strong minds discuss ideas. Political parties in opposition should stop castigating each other. Malawians need change. You all have skeletons in your cupboards. Read Romans 3: 10 . At this point in time , Malawians look for lesser evil. if you have run out of ideas , please ask.
THE NGERENGE MAN MWAYANKHULA BWINO NDIPO MWANZERU
Chakwera is the lesser evil here, t borrow your word. So Malawians, lets vote Chakwera in just 2 weeks to come. He is the only man of integrity apa. Chilima is an accomplice to evil, kuotcha MEC offices and he could hide these pomwe amadziwa. Why bark now? How can we trust you when you had the guts to hide such devilish acts. Who killed Njauju? Mangochi people do not be deceived, Chilima and the Kaliatiz akudziwa the people led by Dausi who murdered Njauju. Let them mention before 21 May. Chilima akubisa zambiri. Don’t trust the guy, musafere kuyera a Malawi.
Former meaning anapanga join UTM yomweyo,,,,Apa zawakanika ndthu a UTM. Mmesa iwowo anapanga mgwirizano ndi a PP omwewo? They dont have any moral ground to throw mad at JB and Chakwera. Pano akungobwetuka basi. Chilima naye anapanga benefit from umbanda wa a Dausi. For 5 years anali duu ndiye pano akufuna kunena kuti chiyani? Chilima is a crook.
Ife tivotera MCP yomweyo. Kwachaaaaaaaaaa!!!
nyika scandal ikukudikira nawe usaiwale kalilati
Kaliati usalankhule, Joyce banda munamufuna kwambiri anachita kukuthawan chifukwa ndinu nyasi zokha zokha
Aaaaahhhhh Akweni atani naye typist Abhiti Kazhigheti?
Chakwera ndi mbava. Ask Assemblies of God faithfuls, ngati mukufuna kumudziwa bwino Lazalo.
And Chilima is not. Anthu anabera ma vote and according to him himself he was part of government that burnt a warehouse full of electoral materials. Stealing votes is the worst crime in a democratic society. All this time he knew that. As VP he was Dausi’s boss. Which means he has shielded Dausi all this time. What for? And he was working with Dausi yemweyo til last year. Thats the kind of person he is.
Tell these idiots that believe Chilima can be president. He is as good as Peter both are devil’s children.
Bodza lopandanalo manyazitu ili a Mutumwa. Give us their names. Shupiti!
Mbava ndi ambuyako, Maliseche, Chilima and Kaliati, mukunya masiku atsala owerengeka. Ana a njoka inu. You think you can fool Malawians? UTM is DPP Team C, while UDF is DPP Team B.
Chakwera sanatengeko chilichonse ku assemblies of God we still crying for our God leader
UTM please mark my words, you will be very embarrassed when results start flowing in. No amount of mudslinging will propel you to victory. Think of how you will settle down after that colossal failure, and that defeat is really coming. Kaliati will apologize for leaving DPP and will go back. Team Chilima will disband and that will signal the end of UTM. I repeat, mark these words.
@Telon:
Koma iwe apa waiphula prediction.
We’ve been saying that “Time” does not favor UTM’s, and that they have no political base.
Result: colossal failure of UTM next month; and quick disappearance into the sunset.
ASA.
ps. Ati Chilima kuyimba nyimbo zachibwana ndizopanda credible lyrics: akuti “Zosiyilana …”
Kapange zako iwe “HARDtalk” Chilima.
UKUCHEPA!
This is not strange. This is a well known story. Even now it is enough evidence that ” Birds of the same feather flock together” that is why Chakwera and JB have partnered.
I thought UTM are the ones who partnered with her first. If they had agreed on running mate would she have said this. Have you forgotten what SKC said about JB on Hardtalk. Have you forgotten SKC actually went to JB’s house in Zomba when he was campaigning there? You are all rotten and unethical. A Kaliati I thought you are in that picture at JB’s house after negotiations of alliance. Why did you go there if she is a bad person. That shows what kind of person you Malawian politicians are. You think of yourselves before the country.
Political vendors on the roadshow. Now is the time to go beyond the curtains held by the key players busy selling half truths suitable for the prospective voters. The market stalls are overweight. It’s deafening propaganda. Some politicians have now gone into poetry memorisation nothing new comes out of their rot stuff. The atmosphere is stuffy and you need a lot of good elaborate quiz of the brain to read clearly politician are spewing a lot of balderdash
You got style
Nkhope zamanyazi chifukwa cha mabodza….dzanadzanali atinamiza kuti Ku MEC kwabedwa ma Camera…..
Ndi zimenezo, Rev Chakwera analandira ndikudya nawo Cashgate. Shame on MCP
Why saying this now.
CHILIMA AND UTM ARE GOING NOWHERE …….AM JUST SORRY FOR THE MONEY LOST DURING CAMPAIGN…..
AS IT STAND NOW ….MCP IS FAR MUCH ABOVE VICTORY..
Kaliqti should notncomment on this issue. You guys are the beneficiaries of DPP rot. You should keep quiet. You stole votes from
Malawians, you have been enjoying in Government and now what do you have to tell Malawians? What? Why didn’t you arrest Joyce Banda? Why Didn’t you take her to court? No sense !!!
