Kaliati says Atupele gets convoy, siren vehicle to anger Chilima
UTM Party secretary general Patricia Kaliati has said government has allocated President Peter Mutharika’s running mate in the July 2 polls, Atupele Muluzi privileges similar of a State vice president such as a motorcade and lead police siren vehicle (sweeper) as an attempt to anger the country’s estranged veep Saulos Chilima.
Kaliati was speaking at Mzuzu Upper Stadium in Mzuzu during a political campaign rally where Malawi Congress Party (MCP) presidential hopeful addressed.
Chilima, who is UTM Party president, is Chakwera’s running mate on MCP ticket which represents an opposition alliance of nine parties, and attended the rally.
“They have given Atupele the siren vehicle kuti Chilima apsye mtima [to anger Chilima],” said Kaliati.
Atupele, the president of United Democratic Front (UDF) whose party is in alliance with the governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), is a Cabinet minister responsible for Energy.
He is entitled to a ministerial vehicle and one police officer.
But during the whistle stop in the Eastern Region on Saturday, Atupele had his security detail scaled up.
Reacting to the development, a professor of law at Chancellor College—a constituent college of the University of Malawi, Garton Kamchezera and Sunduzwayo Madise, dean of law at the same college both said there is no legal basis to accord a Cabinet minister or presidential running mate such a privilege.
Madise said under the law only the President and Vice President are entitled to a motorcade with Police escort and that the privileges are not extended to Cabinet ministers.
“Occasionally the police may extend police escort services to other officers and persons on ad hoc basis. For example if a member of parliament or minister is rushing to parliament and the road is congested, the police may escort such officer to parliament using their sirens,” he stated.
Madise said the need for tightening security for Atupele as Mutharika’s running mate cannot be underestimated but said providing him with a police escort without offering the same to other contestants in the race uneven the playing field .
He said since Chilima already has his motorcade and police escort as he is the current vice president, such privileges should be extended to MCP presidential hopeful Chakwera, who would be a possible country’s President after the fresh presidential elections.
Minister of Information, Civic Education and Communications Technology Mark Botomani said the afrranegment does not mean anything significant.
Police spokesman James Kadadzera said the lead vehicle is “for the benefit of all Malawians as the police officers conduct traffic in busy places to avoid road accidents.”

Umva m’bebe Kaliati siunati ukomoka. Atupele ndiboma panopa. Viva dpp udf alliance.
Atupele is not the president yet and he does not require to be given any convey of police. Read the book that mentions about the laws of Malawi. Any person can sue peter on this matter and win the case.
Kaliati that is T3 teacher reasoning. That security derail was provided following the attacks you organized in Ndirande soon after DPP/UDF had presented their nomination papers. Kuti Chilima apsye mtima ndiye kuti chiani?
Have you made a thorough research to determine whether UDF hired the security coverage, coz that is possible as long as you pay? Muchedwa ndi zomayang’ana kuti neighbour akutani lero m’malo momakasaka ma vote.
chimutu
I don’t think people can forget how bad UDF devastated malawi, no one to forget the painful we went through had times for the rest of time during their rulling, hunger was so severe, poor education, corruption was high, crime not to speak, yet you want to vote again DPP and UDF alliance, just know that we are going back to had times, that’s why Bakili want to campaign for his son Atupele, because obvious should they win, Peter will resign in the process then Atupele continues just know we
are back to sufferings, UDF will get it back all alone, better if APM picked Kondwani it would be much better because this guy is courage and can do better without looking at boundaries, what we want is a leader who love his nation regardless of tribes, picking Atupele is Avery big mistake we will leave to reglete, mark my words you will remember me.
Of course we can not forget
Jealousy ndi ufiti
Paja nawo a chilima amakwiya zilizonse.
It is wrong because it is DPP and yet you never said anything when Joyce Banda accorded Willard Gwegwe the same convoy. The problem with Tumbukas whatever Muntharika does is wrong but similar things done by a fellow Tumbuka is rated highly. I think we have heard much if such stupid things from Chanco.
We all have a Tumbuka friend. MItima yawo tikuyidziwa.zosadabwitsa.
Willard Gwengwe? Crosscheck facts before you post
Komaaa atumbukaaaaa awlnjexa. Saulisi chilima uyuuu . Kwawo ku mlitonsooo kuchitipla. Nkumansmiza kuti ndi mcheeawwwaaaaaaa
But Kaliyati is not Tumbuka. Ignorance is really a disease
We need not look far to identify a clueless, lawless and arrogant president whose motive is to ransack Malawi’s economy with reckless abandon before being sent packing. It’s a case of “let the young man taste luxury before we are booted out” Do.Malawians really want this man, full of hatred for Chilima, to be re-elected. Only those who support plundering, nepotism, corruption tribalism, thieving and anything that is bad governance will elect this toothless man.
JB is the mother of thieving in the history of Malawi!!!
Palibe chabwino chomwe ataphulepo a DPP and UDF,zinamukanika Chimulirenji nde kulibwanji Atupele.Mwana wongoyang’ana upresident,siza family izi.
Kaliati, just shut up your poud mouth. Do you want to be reminded that this is not something new on the Malawi political scene. Just to remind you, let go back to Joyce Banda regime. What happened to her when she picked Sosten Gwengwe as her running mate after she decided to dump Khumbo Kachali. Sosten was given all the necessary Presidential respect that would be accorded to the Vice President, ndiye iwe, usatinyase ai. That is normal in our politics. Iweyo, just stay in your lane, mumva madzi chaka chake ndichino.
Asatinyase awa, tired of hearing of this has been she even lost as an MP. Still bitter DPP removed her daughter from the Embassy?? NKhani izitha chemwali! mkwiyo umenewu will be the end of you.
Atu wanuyo anawina?
The President can actually designate any person to be given these privileges so shut up osamabwela kumisonkhano mutamwa mowa
This is the experience that young Muluzi is talking about, EXTRAVANCE SPENDING OF OUR TAX MONEY and enjoying our TAX MONEY as if Malawi belongs to only Muthalika and Muluzi families.
Mayiwa abalalika, mnzeru zawathera, she will never again see the August House, vuto la umbuli ndi zimenezi
Osazinamiza INE Cilima ndikumudziwa wapsya mtima. Ankakonda kupsya mtima kusukulu nthawi ya dance ngati sanamuikile nyimbo ankakonda kuti avine. Anthu afupi amapsya ntima nsanga. AKWENI ponena zimenezi akudzuwa kuti wapsya kale ntima. Mpikisano uli pakati pa Atupele ndi Arafat chilima.Bro,chilima Atupele wakuyenda pansi. Baasi suzamvekanso.poschedwa tizidzati fornet vice president Cilima
Atupele is a carbon copy of his father. This should come as no surprise to Malawians. His father plundered government resources in billions a portion of which was used to send his children to educational institutions abroad while he systematically destroyed Malawi’s high standards of education set by the late Ngwazi Kamuzu insisting that since he didn’t even go beyond Form two (therefore education was not necessary!)yet he was the President! Tippexed president APM is simply expressing his gratitude to the Muluzi family for king-making him. Within the next 54 days government expenditure will rise to unprecedented levels of extravaganza as they know their days are numbered. Shame on you two family dynasties that have destroyed THE WARM HEART OF AFRICA with no shame at all.Your days are numbered!
Where do you know Atupele from. Galu wachabe chabe iwe
AKWENI magwa nayo.Musiyeni Atupele nayenso anyaude. Amene zamuwawa akanene ku police. AKWENI convoyeyo kusonyeza kuti Atupele ndi boma. Koma AKWENI Atupele baasi wakukhwefulani underwear. Munaziputa nokha bwenzi AKWENI muli runningmate wa Peter lero mwazionatu. Nanganso kumgwirizano ndi mcp akupatsaniko mpando popeza ndi Achewa onse atsogoleri anakhiya komanso anagawana kale mipando yonse. AKWENI pakamwa panu ndililine lachilomwelo mukatha kunena kuti KWAACHA…… ?????
Mwagwa AKWENI manyazi baasi mukamufunse Mia akuuzani za Chakwera. Inu mukangokhala runningmate wa MANGANYA
‘A motorcade and lead police siren vehicle’ !?!!? I need one too. Please, madam.
Uchitsilu wake umenewu womapanga misuse government resources and treating Malawi as personal estate are partly the reasons malawians will kick these dirty bustards come July the 2nd.
A Dzonziso adawapatsa koma pano ali pangozi yogwa mwadzidzidzi kudikila kuti zonse zithe pa 2 July pano.
Lets all agree on one thing, this government has turned the country into a lawless banana Republic where anything goes and even the police dont understand their job description anymore. Shame that such lawlessness is happening under the inept leadership of a so called Law proffesor.
The truth is chilima did not get 1,000,000 votes. He actually got 100,000 votes which are proportionate to 4MPs. There is no way a party can get 1m on presidential vote and get only 4 MP seats. Mavoti a president must correlate with the number of MP seats. Uyu chilima got 100,000 votes basi but there was a mathematical error which made 100,000 look like 1000000. Chilima’s UTM is actually smaller than Atupele’s UDF in all forms including structure on ground.
UTMCP MUWONA NYEKHWE!
Cannot remember Atupele having such accommodation last year when he was running for President. Considering this a new policy would it not be right the same courtesy be provided to Malawi’s next President
Kodi Zeze akumva mbebe ndi siren ya Atupele? Apsye mtima kumene mwana osayamika. Munthu ukafuna utsogoleli umazichepesa, umagonja kwa akulu kuti akukweze kumaphewa awo. Ukafuna kutalika, kwela kumaphewa a anthu otalika. Right now Chilima is finished, Atupele Muluzi is a very good humble boy. He is intelligent and has shown that he can be trusted. Apsye mtima kumene.
Inu palibe cha nzeru chimene mmalemba osangosiya bwanji.
This is abuse of government resources. From which budget is he drawing these resources? Currently there is shortage of medicine and equipment in the hospitals, nurses and doctors are getting poor pay and yet taxpayers money is wasted on campaign by running mate for the party?
