Kaliati survives road accident, UTM claims it may have been an assassination attempt
Newly registered UTM party suspected the road accident near Mvera road bock on the Dowa-Salima Road which left the party interim secretary general Patricia Kaliati on Friday unscathed was not a genuine accident was a botched assassination attempt.
The accident, which happened at around 4 pm, left Kaliati’s vehicle a Toyota Fortuner registration BS 6562 damaged beyond repair.
She was in company of UTM official Callisto Khama Matumbi and four others
UTM supporters spread rumours on social media that ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) , which has a history of political killings, was behind it.
“People don’t want to believe it was an ordinary accident. They wanted to kill Kaliati,” said one UTM member.
Kaliati, Mulanje West parliamentarian, was taken to a clinic in the capital, Lilongwe.
Dowa Police Station spokesperson Richard Kaponda confirmed the accident but said he was yet to get details on the accident from Mvera Police Post.
According to Kaliati’s personal assistant James Manuel, said the UTM Secretary General and five others who were in the vehicle escaped unhurt.
He said the accident happened when a three tonner lorry which was going in the opposite direction unexpectedly diverted to the right-hand lane of the road and in the process colliding with Kaliati’s vehicle head on.
Malawi’s roads are notoriously dangerous, having deteriorated in recent years through poor maintenance.
People, this was a mere accident and Kaliati and fellow UTM brass should know.
Government should maintain roads immediately or else
APM risks to be booted out.. Nice roads are the national jewelry , in as long as infrastructure development is concerned…
Kaliati and Chilima have been in Government for a long time, why not spearheading good road development and maintanance,,,,,,,, Demet
Give us details about the three tone lorry. What has happened to the occupants of the lorry? Nanga zithunzi zake zilikuti? Give us a complete story.
We thank God that they all safe. my advice to kaliati muzipephera Chemwa. choncho Kuti mufufuze amachokela kwa a sing’anga, mzimai uyu ndi zitsamba ndiye yake. mudziweni Mulungu.
To be quite honest our roads are death traps. I would like to know who heads the Department of Roads and transport and why he / she is there. Our roads do not have directional signs and not many visible commanding signs. Most of our roads are not kerbed on the edges which makes them delapidate quickly. Traffic police are there to make money for themselves not enforce law. We living in 21st century but our country existence is on the dark edges. Some of these things can be fixed quickly with the right deployees at the helm. Many departments are run by deadwood. Choose people correctly for positions and give them performance contracts things will change quickly in dear Malawi
This is total madness on the part of UTM. Misala yeniyeni. How can u associate the accident with assassination? Ngozi zonse zikuchitikazi anthu nkumafa ambirimbirizi ndi DPP yomweyonso? Basi chilichonse kumangolowesapo ndale, kufuna pa sympathy kwa mtundu wanji kumeneko??? Anthu azakuvotelani mukawauza nfundo zogwila mtima , osati kukunvelani Chisoni . stop being crying babys if u want pples votes.
Sometimes you should learn to read what newspaper /online news write with a pinch of salt. I don’t know which official in UTM has said this. The Nyasatimes reporter has not quoted anyone and because he is just presenting to you second hand information he/she can not even put his name in the byline.
I agree with you Agenda, most of nyasatimes stories don’t make sense and the reality of their stories are opposite. This is a trash news provider. But on this story of wamisala kaliati, nyasatimes has quoted the exact words of kaliati. She even said it pamsonkhano wa UTM ku Dedza.
I can see the words ANA A DAD DPP 2019 BOMA! written all over that 3-ton truck in invisible paint. This is Mchacha’s first assignment as Deputy Minister of Homeland Security. APM you should know that “Dzenje lomukumbira mzako umagweramo wekha”. Do you remember that your brother Bingu also tried to cause an accident on Joyce Banda? Pitirizani kufinya korona Akweni.
Kkkkkkkk They are afraid of their own shadow.
KWEENI OSAMAIWALA KUPEMPHERA KHUMI LIMODZI PAULENDO ULIWONSE.MARIA NDI MAI WA MPULUMUSI KOMANSO TONSEFE
Pont of correction “Maria ANALI mai wampulumutsi koma tsopanoli ndi mwana wa Mulungu ngati inu ind ine, akudikira chiweruzo pa ntchito zomwe anagwira padziko lapansi.
Iiiiiiii koma abale, mmene galimotoyo yaphwanyikila a Kaliyati olo pokandika? hahahahahaha malawi wafika penapake powonongerana mbiri. Who can trust or believe Kaliati anyway such a drama queen.
inunso ndiye ndinu achuletu.
Pepani akweni
I don’t belong to any party but I can tell you this was an accident waiting to happen as I have seen Kaliati & UTM members going to rallies- they drive too fast & recklessly overtaking all the time several cars at one go. Anthuwa are full of matama ngati alowa kale mboma ndiye akalowa kaya zitha bwanji?
Lets just thank God for the safety, we hear of several accidents on our roads, are they caused by our enemies? We thank God you escaped unhurt.
Another on-line newspaper reports the cause of the accident differently, making no mention of an assassination attempt. According to the police report, Kaliati seems to have been driving carelessly.
““It happened that the driver of the motor vehicle registration number BS 6562 Toyota Fortuner which was being driven by Honourable Mrs Patricia Kaliati was coming from Lilongwe direction going towards Salima with Five Passengers on board,” reads the police report in part.
“It adds; “Upon reaching at Milala near Mvera Roadblock she failed to negotiate a slight curve and encroached to the right side of the road and hit the motor vehicle registration number LL 3584 Mitsubishi Canter which was going towards the opposite direction.””
@C Banda, where did you read that police report, and in what capacity were you given the report to read? You think we Malawians are sleepy eti? Just shows you are one of the perpetrators you murderous cadet!
Ngozi iyi ndi yopangidwa basi. Truck kuchoka mbali yake kupita mbali ina. Ngati kuti amachokera ku south africa ndiye anatopa? Man made accident
Dautsi has just started his job which he has bn appointed to do. This guy is evil minded and he is used to kill.
God will punish you as well. You will also die no matter what
Zakukanikani kuletsa registration pano ndiye mwati muyambe yakupha. Mutsatira komwe kunapita a Kamphulusa, marshal, zimba, kachimbwina. Mudzafa mwachidelu chifukwa Mlungu adzatimenyera nkhondo
Zimba yeah!! tha Kasungu guy!!!! anasowetsa anthu mtendere heavy, koma zinamutsata
Mmmmmh Just thank God. Osalowetsapo ndale apa.
UTM woyeeeee
zitsiru za anthu…moti mupite ku chipatala basi busy kumajambulana..Uyu Calisto Matumbi akutaniko kumeneko…Angofuna kukuberani munthu wa fake degree.Ask Joyce Banda.
Grag the cadet driving the Lorry and ask him tough questions. DPP are a bunch of murderous clowns and it is clear Mchacha and Dausi are behind this since they now control Homeland Security. Forget the police investigations, they are compromised.
God always protects his people, if its not your time to die God will not allow it.
Koma this Maliseche APM is really going too far now. Let him be aware that we are Legion, too many for him to stop, and on 21st May we will retire him and save him from further embarrassment. Koma akatikwana, we will retire him sooner. Wachepa kwambili!
Yes Malawi roads are dangerous. Kudontoni was killed and and last month other dpp people were killed. Pitala is not concerned and busy stealing with Zameer.
DPP and mutalika achokemo mboma nawo ayambe kulipila misonko aone mumene zimawawila kudulidwa nsonko amaonangati zopweka akamakweza magesi ndi misonko ndala ameneyi sitikufunaso pano, anangozolowela kuiba misonkoyo nde pano anya ayisiya chikalile mbomamo aonaso
shame DPP cadets with mutalika you will fail kufuna kupa antu chifukwa cha misonko yatu yaulele ngati imeneyi
pepa a secretary general atu you will be fine , god will always protect you mama antu ena mpaka akupeni nkani yake it. antu okalamba kale azisala inu nkumapedwa zachisoni kwambiri
ENGAGE EXTRA GEAR IN YOUR
PRAYERS MADAM GOD LOVES YOU !! NOT ONLY THAT — HE
HAS A SPECIAL MISSION FOR YOU
TO FULFIL TO HIS PEOPLE !!
Who is the owner of the truck? Who was driving the truck? Why did the driver suddenly change lane. Anamutuma. THY WANTED TO KILL KALIATI.
Useless are you sure DPP can waist time to cause accident of this idiot?
Not just roads quality but also degenerated driving skills driven by impunity, impatience, IND ignorance and lack of enforcement of the highway code. Corrupt traffic police are part of the mix and high appetite to corrupt by unworthy road users. Oncoming vehicles overtake when they should not and expect vehicles in the correct lanes to give way. Malawians drivers have converted their roads into the wild west.
God is with you. Do not be afraid. Aegipito mukuwaonawo simudzawawonanso. Read Exodus
Are you sure people have survived from that car unhurt? Zikuoneka kuti ndizibolingo zinthuzi from neither side.
An accident is an accident, fellow Malawians let’s stop associating people’s accidents to witchcraft or staged accident always. To my brother Mgeme Kalilani, God loves you brother Mgeme. But if it is true that you don’t believe in Jesus nor the existence of God, then I plead with you brother Mgeme to immediately change your thinking. This is God who has saved you from this fatal accident.
They tried this on JB
Pepa Kaliati. Assassination should not be ruled out. DPP is having sleepless nights and would be very glad to hear that executive members of UTM are all dead. However, GOD is there to fight for you guys. Though I am apolitical, I wish you good luck.
God is on your side, Akweni. Police investigate the driver of that 3-tonner. But then again I know you won’t find anything incriminating with him. How can the police investigate their own?
