Kaliati says no hard feelings towards Mutharika
Fired Civic Education, Culture and Community Development minister Patricia Kaliati says she has no hard feelings towards President Peter Mutharika for sacking her from the cabiet.
Kaliati could not say why she thinks she was fired, saying it is the prerogative of the President to hire or fire a cabinet minister.
President Mutharika fired Kaliati on Wednesday morning and immediately replaced her with Cecelia Chadzama, ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) deputy secretary general.
“I am not bitter, this is normal,” said the upfront talking Kaliati.
“ I thank the President for appointing me to serve the people of Malawi as a cabinet minister all these years,” she said.
Her comments come as speculations are rife on social media as to why Kaliati was dropped from the cabinet.
Some people say this was as a result of growing friction between her and Local Government minister Kondwani Nankhumwa while others claimed on Wednesday, during the launch of the Malawi Rural Electrification Program in Mulanje, Kaliati allegedly openly quarrelled with party secretary general Grazieder Jeffrey.
The new minister Chadzama said she will prioritise in instilling the sense of culture among the youth.
Chadzama is also MP for Blantyre north east.
Kaliati becomes the second powerful minister to fall in months after former Agriculture minister George Chaponda.
Both Kaliati and Chaponda come from the DPP strong base of Mulanje and Nakhumwa is now the strongman in the power wielding too much power.

Kaliati is lying! A normal person should be bitter after loosing one’s job and Akweni is no exception! Although I do not know the reasons for her dismissal, I welcome it! Maybe we can rest from hearing nonsense from this chatterbox!

I knew that this day, when Kaliati would be fired from cabinet, was coming but did not know that it would come so soon! For Akweni, please smell the coffee, be shrewd and streetwise, know your political enemies and you will see what we ordinary Malawians are seeing: that political positions are not for eternity lero mulipo mawa palibe!! Watsala u MP, komano a Kweni kupanda ndale mungatani??? I for one am happy that Akweni is no longer a cabinet minister….this is not a career…..its a priviledge and Akweni has outlived her usefulness, no new ideas! Kwao gule, ena alowe… Read more »
