Kaliwo fumes at order to settle MCP convention case out of court
Embattled opposition Malawi Congress Party (MCP) secretary general, Gustav Kaliwo, on Thursday walked out of Lilongwe High Court a furious man after it was ordered that issues he has with the party’s president Lazarus Chakwera be settled out of court.
Kaliwo, a lawyer by profession, had wanted Chakwera to appear in court over a case that revolves around the party’s national convention.
The esteemed barrister had called for an emergency last year with an argument that members at grassroots level were unhappy with the present leadership.
The party took an injunction against the call wanting, instead, to hold the indaba from 4 to 7 this month.
The issue made headlines in the press which were heightened by a court order that Chakwera should appear in court for cross-examination.
But on Thursday Judge Charles Mkandawire ordered for the “discontinuance” of the case, and that the matter be settled out of court.
According to the order which Nyasa Times has seen, “the order deals with withdrawal and discontinuance of a claim by the claimant.”
Kaliwo who came to the court a relaxed man left “fuming” and refused to grant journalists—who rushed at him—any interviews.
He walked hastily to his car before speeding off. His lawyer, Powell Nkhutabasa, is the one who took interviews instead.
Nyasa Times understands that Kaliwo’s faction badly wanted Chakwera to appear before court to “humiliate” him.
Apparently, the faction is not happy with Chakwera whom it has accused of “dictatorial” tendencies.
Meanwhile, the high court in Blantyre is on Friday expected a determination on the injunction obtained by Kaliwo against MCP going on with a party convention.
The ruling may pave way for the convention to take place.

Kikikikiki. Judas adagulitsa Yesu chifukwa chonda ndalama. Kaliwo has been there for the party, when Kamuzu was alive, John Tembo, Gwanda chakwamba stilll in MCP, ndi year Leroy ana osalandira mwambo nkumati he is shithole, oh God have mercy. You have never contributed even a single coboo to MCP May be when you bought a members card that is if you were born by then, which we did. He rendered his service to the party but because of Mia’s money you open your mouth and insult this innocent man. This is not DPP it is the love of money Chakwera has that has turned this issue up . Calista vomited her insults should we say it was MCP that sent her. God will punish this evil party for ever. Nothing good will come out of MCP. The departed souls are watching and crying in the forest of Thambani.
Allow did not see what was going to hit him! He did not anticipate this and not at all. But the he needs to know that MCP is where it is because of Chakwera. Again he needs to respect the fact that the party needs to accommodate new members who should equally be considered for positions.
Who are in his faction? How many people does he command? Please don’t make a mountain out of this mole hill shithole. He is sponsored by shitholes in dpp.
Wakhaula Kaliwo, pano wadziwa kuti chake tsopano palibe…………………………………………………………………!! Wagwa nayo wagwano ameneyo………………! Khethemu kuti waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Kodi masowo anali ataledzera kabanga kapena kanundu?
Chakwera ndi amene wagwa nayo because he is the one withdrawing the case. He is fearing kuyaluka m’khothi.
A person like Kaliwo is among the people who are killing this country. They take things so personally. Why put the whole Party at ransom. kaya
Hahahahahahahahahahahahah GK get that fake accent chakwera to come to court! Why is he running away? Mr American accent koma kamwa smelling of Usipa!!
Zakuwawa. This is what we call politics. Simunati. He knows how to play it. Look at 4billion issue, Salima issue and Simbi issue, Mia issue. Kabwira, Jumbe issue, his house issue etc. They guy is smartly winning in all those examples. Wait and see.
MCP battle continues. Chakwera thinks he is clever but one day he will reap what he is sowing. He came right from the pulpit and thinks he can make his way in politics by being nasty to others. Pastors of today! Power and money is their guiding principle. If they can’t get it in the church, they will try and get it elsewhere.
Not true, we need God fearing leader, ziwanda tatopa nazo
God fearing does not desert the altar but makes sacrifices for the nation from the altar. It is the highest position. Chakwera want just fame but MCP will never rule again.
You are such a wasted sperm.Fool of the year
Very concurring with you
We need godly people like Chakwera not mathanyulaz. Who told you politics doesn’t need pastors? Did you study history? Read history in England, USA, Africa you will see that Pastors or religious people have been core to politics.This myopic and achaic thinking that politics is for dirty people leads to corruption and cashgates. Chakwera is not the first pastor in Malawi to have gone for politics. During 1993/4 Aford had Reverand Pat Banda, there was also Reverand Dumbo Lemani, there is Reverand Mtonga etc.
You call yourself wanna understand that you are limited in thinking together with all with similar arguments. And that kind of thinking shows mulibe chifukwa chenicheni to attack him. Why again saying all pastors?
Is this how Kaliwo looks? Just like beasts in dpp. He looks like beast Chponda and beast Mwanavekha Mathyola. A Kaliwo kapumeni ngati Pitala. Musatosokoneze.
Malawi politics is full of very old, uninspiring and sick people, leading a young and healthy nation. No wonder the country is in bottom 5 of Happy Countries in the world.
Gustav join DPP, Felix Jumbe has already done it.
He is intoxicated with tablets.he is a sick man.
Akaliwo kwanu sakudziwani kuti a MCP or shadow mp wa mcp simungawine kwanu inu. Pama elections munapeza mavoti osakwana 1000 ndiye mukufuna chiyani?
Wakumana ndi anzako ochenjera kuposa iwe. Umaziona ngati ndiwe dolo wakumana nazotu. Tikambirane kunja kwa khothi basi. A Kaliwo kukwiyako ndiye u dictatorwo.
DPP wants you more than MCP. Join them!
They are waiting for you. MCP will be better without you and you know it.
This guy has failed its party big time. He should just resign.
He hasn’t seen enough yet. One wonders whether this man really uñderstand what he wants. Chakwera took the injuctioñ to stop him from holding a conversion in July which he succeeded. Now chakwera wants the Indiana held. So why should he argue the case anymore than just dropping it. As for this Fridays determination Does it matter really to MCP. Chakwera will stil represent MCP as it’s presidential candidate and nothing can stop him from appointing Mia as his partner. It is his prerogative. So man of law you are trying to stop the unstoppable.
Akaliwo zanu zinakuderani Mxieee!
Foolish man who thinks being a ruthless lawyer but has artificial teeth to bite.
Kaliwo ukuchedwa, Chakwera ndi bwana wako sungamuthe, inu musuluka ngati msuzi wa usipa. Lazurus Chakwera for pressiident!
Kaliwo inu sukulu sinakuthandizeni. What are you fighting for? You are th one who is getting humiliated. Yambani chanu chipani and let us see if those grassroots you are talking about will follow you. Join DPP, it needs people like you.
Komanso anthu away otsatira Kaliwo amaganizs bwanji? Bola Wandale abale.
. No difference with APM and Bakili Muluzi in their shenanigans. Welcome to politics pastor. Nobody I say nobody can ever come out of this game clean. As for Kaliwo. Leave this. Nobody in MCP will listen and sympathise with you. Aftee all mulibe chikoka abwana.
Hahahaha. Wabodza ngati iwe sinamuone. Chakwera and Alamu Pumani Mwakula Ali ndi chikokandani?
Inu phee nzanja lalemba basi. Mukhapa anthu koma change is inevitable. It is coming.
Ukunama kaliwo ,your days are numbered in mcp
