Kaliwo, Msowoya get injunction stopping MCP convention in April

March 13, 2018 Alfred Chauwa –Nyasa Times 50 Comments

Embattled opposition Malawi Congress Party (MCP) secreyray general Gustav Kaliwo has obtained a fresh injunction against the party not to organise a convention in April this year expected to put in office new leadership.

Kaliwo: Obtains court order to stop MCP convention

Kaliwo through lawyer Kalekeni Kaphale has successfully obtained the court order restraining MCP from implementing suspension orders which the National Executive Committee melted on party vice president Richard Msowoya and Kaliwo.

Other party officials reprimanded by the NEC include Jessie Kabwira and Chatonda Kaunda.

The order also stops MCP president Lazarus  Chakwera, who is first defendant,  and Ezekiel Ching’oma, who is second defendant representing NEC members  of MCP to stop  plans to hold a convention until after a determination of the court.

“This order restrains you or any other persons from inviting the claimants to disciplinary inquiries and from suspending them and also from convening a convention  of the party until trial of the action or until further order of the court,” the order reads in part.

MCP is planning to hold convention in Mzuzu on April 4 to 7.

The opposition nMCP  resolved to suspend Msowoya, who is also Speaker of the National Assembly and Kaliwo pending disciplinary action for their alleged role in destabilising the party.

Ironically, Kaliwo has been arguing that an early convention would help to resolve some of the challenges the party was facing as well as help the party to prepare well for the 2019 Tripartite Elections.

  1. The two have proven to be useless polititicians or shithole politicians. At the beginning of the wrangle they called for a convention to remove Chakwera. This is done and they are against it. Can Msowoya really be a leader? Can’t he be thankful to MCP for making him what he is. He is afraid of Mia and I can see DPP helping these people. They are people that no Malawian can trust.

  2. Msowoya, Kaliwo, Kabwila, and the group amafuna convention ndimeneyo tsopano mukuti ayinso convention!! Ndinu zitsilu machende anu. Badyani ndalama za D P P koma ndi misonkho yathu

  3. Kaliwo and Msowoya you have my support. These people are not against the convention. All that they want is fairness. We hear Mrs Mia is chairing the fundraising committee. You remember during the PP convention, this woman and her husband bribed delegates at the convention ndi nsima ndiwo zake nthumbwana and the husband corruptly defeated BJ. That is the same strategy these crooks are using to defeat Msowoya.
    CSOs if you are not biased, demand the list of contributors to the K70 million MCP raised during the recent fundraising. Some quarters suspect the money has been collected from the asians by one of the aspiring Vice President candidates during the convention. If that is true then MCP is actually laying a foundation stone for corruption should they accidentally make it to state house. CSOs, if you are not biased, press for the list and where the list reveals dirty sources demand the return of the funds to such dirty donors. If you are to maintain your credibility, this must be done with speed.

    1. Inunso tazingosapotani chipani chanu cha DPP, osati zomwe zopanda mutu mukunena apazi a Hatton.

  4. kaliwo has mental problems,komabe olo mutero bwana kaliwo ndi msowoya tikudziwa cholinga chanu kusokoneza chipani cha mcp cholinga chakuti chisankho chisadzachiyendele bwino, koma ife akufuna kwa bwino kwa dziko la malawi,tidzamvotelabe mcp, president wake bwana chakwela running mate wake bwana mia, 2019 mcp boma woyeeee

  5. Some people still amaze me, how can you say Kaliwo and Msowoya are agents of DPP. Kaliwo has been there for MCP before the people you are favouring now. Kaliwo stood for the party , fought legal battles for the part and today you start accusing him it is unfair, MIA or Chakwera has not been there when MCP faced storms. It is a curse for people to open their dirty mouth to accuse this man. You make noise yet you have not given any support to the party but Kaliwo sacrificed for the party. The constitution clearly state that he is empowered to call for convention, not Chakwera. What you are doing supporting Chakwera you are creating a dictator who does not respect those who have been there for the party in its storms. This shows clearly that Chakwera is not fit to be the leader of the nation. Good luck with court challenge.

  8. Seriously, what more proof/ evidence does any sane person with 5 senses need to understand that the likes of Msowoya, Kaliwo and others are actually beneficiaries of state sponsored grand looting of tax-payers money, other than the recently exposed K4 billion scandal?
    If the whole finance minister shamelessly and illogically attempts to legitimise plundering of such huge sums of money in parliament, how much can one just imagine is being wasted on such political conspiracies? JUST look at the number and caliber of people who, ALL OF A SUDDEN have CHANGED TUNES & clearly started advancing DPP agenda?
    Just imagine how much tax-payers money is going towards such political shenanigansisms? Mk4 billion is but a DROP IN THE OCEAN. Of course a Malawi eni ake ali pa mavuto adzaoneni!!!

  9. Crying for Hon. Richard Msowoya. I can’t believe he is behaving this way. He is the person I have respected for the whole of my life. I have now started believing these people are being sponsored. Shame!

    1. Richard Msowoya is also a human being. He can’t accept to be used and dumped like a condom. No ways.

  11. Kaliwo ndi Msowoya musatikwanepo apa. Munkafuna convention Lero ndimeneyi mukuikananso. Mxiiiii! Dpp cadets. U think we don’t know.
    Chaka cha mawa His Excellency The State President Dr. Lazurus Chakwera and The Vice State President Right Honourable Sidik Mia muzawafuna mark my word.

  12. Many people who are commenting against Kaliwo don’t know what the MCP constituion says about who should call for a convention. Chakwera erred by calling for a convention because that’s the responsibility of the Secretary General, according to MCP constitution. Since Kaliwo is the MCP Secretary General, he is the only one who can call for the convention, not Chakwera. Chakwera will lose the case when it goes for full hearing in court.

    1. Chakwera did not call for convention but NEC , by the way which constitution are you referring to?

    2. Awanso nao awa………………..!! MCP constitution is not static but dynamic!! Monse akhala akupangira misonkhano ya NEC mu iwe ukuganiza angaiisiye constitution yo kuti ikhale chikwanje cha kaliwo……………………………!! Even Kaliwo himself has been saying this in t he past, but look at how he is changing goal posts……. pali nzeru apa? Basi chifukwa ndi secretary general then he should be holding the party at ransom? Asssssssssaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  13. You party supporters and politicians are difficult to understand. When one party faces some challenges you celebrate, when a hiccup happens in your side you feel the hiccup is sponsored. Anthu amene atenga chiletso sianthu wamba monga ena akuganizila, tamvetsetsanani kuti zinthu zikonzedwe. Zowona anthu akuluakulu ngati amenewo muwathamangitse nkumati tsopano tiyeni kukonivention? Tikanayetsetsanso kupewa mkhalidwe wogwilitsa ntchito atolankhani kapena mabungwe kumayipitsa kapena kulemba mwamiseche mokhudza zipani za anzathu. Titatero zithandiza kuti ndale za demokilase ziyende bwino. If you can’t take advise you will regret.

    1. Mwina mumamumvetsetsa ndinu ndipo mungatiuze zoona ndinu!! According to his dictionary what is the meaning of “early”? Just last November he made noise and was demanding an early convention ,, and then he alleged its because his team strongly felt it would help to resolve some of the challenges the party was facing as well as help the party to prepare well for the 2019 Tripartite Elections>

      Now what is happening? Mutengeleni kujaku kunapita mtsogoleri wa the KU THE UNITED STATES OF THYOLO AND MULANJE. Kumeneko mwina akagwirizaanako mwinaaaaaaaaaa!!

  15. Kaliwo, you wanted early convention, now here it is and then you get an injuction. What stupidity is this??? Chindere chakufikapo. You are selfish and I think although you are a trained lawyer but mmutumo muli mamina okhaokha. You and Msowoya knows that politically you are finished. Form your own party. You can not be bigger than the rest of MCP members.

  19. Nkhaniyi timvetsetse bwino. Kaliwo and colleagues are not against early convention. The MCP constitution is very clear about who should call for the convention. It’s not the president, but the Secretary General, who is Kaliwa himself. Chakwera has violated the provision of the constitution by calling for a convention. He doesn’t have those powers. If Chakwera is failing to abide by party constitution which the party itself prepared, will he be able to abide by the national constitution which was written by other people? He is simply a dictator. The court is not stupid to grant the injunction. Something is seriously wrong with dictator Chakwera. He thinks by being the president he can do anything, This is wrong and dangerous for democracy. It must be stopped before it’s too late. Bravo Kaliwo and the court for showing monster Chakwera his limits.

    1. But there were all invited to NEC meeting. They refused to attend. They were called for disciplinary hearing, they got an Injunction.

      What else do u expect to hear from them. They are simply useless.

      MCP is bigger than them. Convention will still be conducted.

      They are all finished politically.
      TRUST ME

      1. They are not finished. MCP will regret soon. It’s a party that will remain in opposition for many years.

        1. Never, currently the party is gaining more ground than ever before. All the nkholokolo have no ground support even in their own backyard. For example, Kaliwo lost miserably in his constituency…..people don’t even know him.

  20. Here is free advice for you two (Kaliwo and Msowoya); just resign from politics and go into business or rest at home. Let the youngsters run the country. In fact MCP should get rid of all the old and tested politicians. That’s what I would call part rejuvenation.

  21. Kaliwo and Msowoya ..need some serious beating….we need to revive the way the Chakuambas vehicles were burnt down in Mangochi, Chakufwa was mishandles and whisked away and Bakili chased in Karonga…They are insane…..they know that cannot make it to the convention. Msowoya knows he cant make it again to parliament…..He needs to quietly keep his integrity as he will benefit as a retired Speaker..but he has an ego..too much ego..and this ego will finish him completely…

  22. LOL Court injunction for what now?I have never seen such useless and stupid desperate politicians.Why are you wasting your time on this issue Kaliwo,Msowoya and the Nkholokolo group?If you are popular just form your on party or join the party that is using you to cause confusion in MCP and see if people wanna vote you in the positions you will stand for.The money that you are paying the lawyer you could have assisted the Blantyre United FC.No matter how you will fight for this case,the outcome will never favor you.Moreover,win or loose you shall pay the lawyer…SHAME!You are acting like kids

  25. A Kaliwo vuto lanu ndichani. Kodi alipo wakuletsani kukachita contest ku convention. If you are a true member go and contest and see if you will be voted. Inu nthawi yanu yatha amene akukutumaniyo akupweteketsani. Mukuopa chani mpaka court injunction.

  26. KKKKKK Judge Potani issuing an injunction to disgruntled former SG of MCP does not make sense. That type of judgeship in Malawi is unacceptable and work against principles of democracy. Any way we know fully that dpp is behind that and they will all not be successful in this MCP is intact and prepared for convention and winning team for 2019 is ready by April 7 2018 whether Potani thinks he will demoralize MCP morale in the country as the party is growing stronger than DPP by issuing such injunctions is unfruitful and wont yield anything for Kaliwo and Msowoya and more over muchita manyazi pompanopompano.

  27. Bunch of losers with no political clout Just a mirage of false aspirations. Form your own political party or join Dpp.

  28. so what’s it you are looking for? You had been calling for convention today you don’t want a convention kkkk

  29. work of thieves -DPP- using our taxes to bring confusion in MCP, but whatever the case, the convention will still take place some day, though late

  30. Kodi ine ndimayesa kuti munkafuna early convention? Pano nukukana disciplinary hearing and convention. You think Malawians are still stupid? Anthu inu ndioseketsa. kkkkkkkkkkk

  31. Msowoya and Kaliwo are now clearly showing their colours. These people atikwana ku MCP all along Kaliwo has been calling for a convention but now that the cionvention is set he is changing tune what are they afraid of. KKKK mupita basi you are not useful and productive in MCP.

    1. atumidwa awa ndlama zaononga msowoya anakakhala wina anakayamika wat mcp has done for him,munthu osayamika Mulungu sangamukuze,,lets wait and c
