Kamlepo says northerners tired of being used as condoms: No plot to impeach Speaker ―Chilenje
Against the backdrop of rumour plot to impeach Speaker of Parliament Richard Msowoya, the deputy speaker of the National Assembly Esther Mcheka Chilenje, has told the House that there is no information oust the Speaker.
On Monday, Chitipa South lawmaker Werani Chilenga (People’s Party- PP) first raised the issues in the House that some people were planning to impeach the Speaker.
And on Wednesday, Rumphi East legislator (PP) Kamlepo Kalua also raised the issue.
Msowoya faces impeachment rumours over his alleged association with the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and causing friction in the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) where he serves as first-vice president.
But Kalua said plans to out Speaker Msowoya are unwelcome.
“I have information that there are certain people who are plotting to impeach the Speaker. We northerners are tired of being used as condoms. So let me warn those planning [impeachment of Speaker] that this is unwelcome and mind you it’s a strong warning from the people of the north,” said outspoken Kalua.
Mcheka-Chilenje ruled Kalua out of order, saying there is nothing the parliamentary leadership’s office on the alleged impeachment.
“I rule you out of order honourable. I do not have that information in my office,” Mcheka-Chilenje said.
MCP’s Dowa East MP Richard Chimwendo Banda on Monday said the move to impeach the Speaker is neither here nor there, saying the MPs were only making allegations but it is “a non-starter”.
Msowoya was elected into office in June 2014 by 101 MPs against Francis Kasaila (DPP) who received 89 votes.
According to the procedures in the Standing Orders, the mover of an impeachment motion must ascertain that about one third of all 193 members should endorse, or sign, that petition which will be given to the concerned Speaker.
In addition, the concerned Speaker shall be entitled to be heard in his defence, within 14 days when the House is sitting either by himself or through a legal representative.
The petition must also state in clear terms the specific charges which the Speaker is allegedly to have violated and, according to the Standing Orders, the motion must be adopted within 14 days after the notice.

Mr kamlepo you and hon Msowoya are letting us down.you’re the ones who are being used.Malawians will never take us (northerners)serious coz of you guys.you’re being used by the DPP. Why do you change like chameleons? Today you’re on this side tomorrow you change.plz put Malawians welfare at heart not your selfish interests.
MCP yafikaso pa ziro in North in South already at ziro nkhaza Zanu sitiyiwala ku North and you are still doing it for northerners you can’t win the election your time was gone you were selling cards to pregnant women two cards with unborn baby no more .
These so called northerners did not vote for MCP in 2014 but DPP and PP because they did not like Msowoya to become the state vice president. If there are people who hate Msowoya are the so called northerners themselves. After Msowoya failed to bring votes to MCP, the party did not abandon him instead he was honored with the speaker of parliament title from the same MCP the party the northerners did not vote for. Instead of being grateful Msowoya betrayed the party by associating with DPP. In this case is it wrong for MCP to look for someone more popular who can bring more votes to the party than this stingy lebwedelebwede man? Blame yourselves northerners.
It is wrong for members of the house to be making careless and regionalistic statements in the house. The conduct of Hon. Kamulepo Kalua needs to be condemned.
A lesson to us from the North is that we should also stop acting as condoms, because if we are used as condoms by others, then it is ourselves who allow to be used.
Am surprised how impeachment of msowoya is linked with the north being used as a condom? That in itself demonstrates a tribalistic tendency. Msowoya has failed to play his cards well in his own party. How can he fail to reach a compromise with his president? How could he allow the kaliwo and kabwila to use him.? Him as a man with integrity he should have stood his ground and worked with chakwera camp, nanga with kaliwo? Hahahaha i dont see them succeding in their battle. So please kamplepo spear north, do not generalise. What this country and north inclusive needs is a transformative leader not opportunist
How do you know that it is probably Msowoya that has been using Kabwila and Kaliwo him being a senior and influential member of the party???. You have to blame somebody for the failures of Msowoya. Musatitopese apa..
Kada, you’re absolutely correct! Am sitting here all perplexed how the probable riding of Msowoya translates into tumbuka’s being used as condoms. This misplaced statement from Kalua is a clear reveal of a tribalism mentality – wanting to fight where there’s no course. So sad that these are the kind of leaders we have in the country. If they are not kidnapping and tiring themselves then they want to play tribal victim unnecessarily. My fellow Malawians, we need to take back control of our country, positive transformation will NEVER be instituted by these politicians. We are the triggers, use your vote wisely. Honestly we can’t be complaining of the status of our country yet on the other hand we keep voting in politicians like Kamlepo.
Koma Kalua amadzimva sugar kwambiriiiiiiiiiiiiii!! Ndi ndani wa MCP amene amamvera iweyo Kamlepo?? Mbuzi iyinso nayo iyiiiiiiiiii Kulamula ndiye umakufunatu kwambiri!! MCP is not Rumphi East Constituency amwene!! You are a nobody to MCP man…………………………………..!! Iwe ngati akutanganidwa abakha enawa ndi MCP ndiye iweyo………….!! Iwe ndichimodzimodzi galu wachiwewe……………………………………….!
This is totally nonsense, being a northerner does not mean you can misbehave in any organization, correction should be done to every body as an individual not basing on what Mr kalua is saying. Mind you MCP has credible sdource that the ruling DPP will make sure offer a good package to Speaker as vice president of MCP to disturb the party. As it is the speaker is debated on K100-150 Million kwacha if the Dpp really wants him to disturb the party.
In 2014 the southern region was divided in three big parties but the MCP with its central region majority failed to take advantage of this. Yet they dream of winning in 2019 when the centre is no longer strong.
Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am from the north and honestly do not support what Msowoya is doing, to me he has demonstrated that he is just another selfish leader reacting to things which he can not show. MCP has never said that they will remove him from the party neither discuss his position as deputy President, so why create a fuss on issues people talk as probable scenarios and then you react as if you are already chopped as people suggest. It shows you are not mature enough.
Kamlepo, uwauze a kongilesiwo kuti amalawi asamve kuti chinachake chamuchitikira Msowoya. We will take serious reaction to this notorious party. We still remember what this party did to Chafukira. We do not want to see Msowoya being subjected to MCP’s backwardness.
Abale, can Mkaka propose to the Registrar of Political Parties to consider deregistering MCP?
Hawkins
I didn’t know that regionalism is still an issue in Malawi,, so sad,,,,
I wonder why whenever somebody corrects the nonsense in MCP he is said to be pro-DPP. Are you telling me that all MCP members are dunderheads that they cannot see if anything goes wrong in the party? Up to now MCP members are not coming out to explain why Msowoya is being treated like that. Press reports are saying that him and other members criticized how the pastor is flouting the party’s constitution. Is Chakwera a sem-god that he cannot be criticized? There are people in MCP who love the party but they don’t want to be blind followers by clapping hands on whatever Chakwera says. I wonder why MCP members did not react responsibly when someone who was not an elected member in the party insulted their vice-president with his LEBWEDELEBWEDE slogan. Chakwera was there when Msowoya was being insulted. Why didn’t Mia fear Chakwera before insulting Chakwera vice? It means Chakwera was the one who first called Msowoya this insult when the two were dining somewhere. M’BUSA wa miseche ngati ameneyi alibe mwayi uliwonse pandale za dziko lino. God did not hear his prayers in 2014. You Tumbukas claim to be educated but you don’t have wisdom. Your thinking capacity is very shallow that is why you can be used anyhow. Kamlepo is just helping you to think wise.because it is long time you have been used by people from other regions. Because of your shallow thinking you have created hatred with all northerners who are ministers in Mutharika’s administration Mapeto ake muzingogwira ganyu ku zipani zoti sizidzatenga ulamuliro muno. MCP should stop the silly and stupid thinking that whoever points a finger at MCP he is DPP. Where do you take this philosophy? So you are telling us that there are very clever people in DPP than this oldest party? May be this party is affected by OLD AGE. Some members despite being young they are forced to think old and past.
Well said. Quite true!!!!
Kamplepo ndi munthu opanda pake amakonda kulenga nkhani ameneyu. Tisawale paja amanatinamiza kuti Nduna 7 za boma maina awo ali muripoti ya 577bn cashagate APM anamuza nena ndunazo analephera kunena .Kamplepo yomweyi anadzimanga kudziponya ku kwacha Roundabout lero wapeka nkhani ya speaker, osamangodya ndalama za DPP kachetechete .Am not surprised by remarks from George Chaponda that Kamplepo Kalua is mad person. APM sangasakhe nduna yopenga.
I like the weakness of northerners because they are always divided. Maybe because there are 36 languages in the north which are making them porous. If you want to impeach him, we will support you, and we will put ours.

This is not Kamlepo i used to know in the past, amudyesa chibanzi ameneyu.
CHIPYERELO, yeah three northerners started and formed MCP and they championed dawn of multiparty democracy and on the way they failed to make it as head of state. They have produced more graduates as you claim, but what is the point of producing more graduates without achieving their dream of producing a head of state. Mind you my brother God can not create one tribe to be intelligent than the other. God created human beings equally. Because of such mentality that you are intelligent, people from southern region and central region will continue voting based on tribes and regions. If it will be like that, then it means the president will be coming from central and south because you are in minority. Siyani kuzikonda kuti nafenso tizayambe kukondani ndipo tizachose maganizo oti mukazakhala pa mpando wa upulezidenti simuzatizuza.
Spoken like a real idiot.
Mr. Yankho Kwa Iwe, all people in Malawi regardless of tribe are born with intelligence. But intelligence quotient varies from one individual to another. The statement that people in the north claim to be intelligent is merely a statement intended to rile those who look at them with disdain. Of course it is embedded in people’s mind that “they are selfish” but their selfishness cannot match with the actions of those who back selfish actions by introducing real “discriminatory policies” with a view not only to marginalize them but also to hurt them. That is why, one, there is a measure of fear, nonetheless, among northerners partly because the political system is not designed to cater for them; and two, they lead marginalized lives while aspiring for a federal system in which they feel their aspirations would be met, with education and employment being on top their priorities.
However, when it comes to discrimination, Malawi’s history is engraved with many dark memories. Think of the purging of southerners and northerners at the University of Malawi in the early late 1960s and early 1970s as well as the deportation of teachers hailing from the north to their region of origin on February 9, 1989. Think again about the purging of senior public officers from various government institutions and statutory corporations hailing from other regions after the ousted of the congress party from power in 1994. The question is: which people or ethnic groups are truly “not selfish” in Malawi?
We northerners want Msowoya impeached, which northerners are you representing iwe KAMLEPO? Msowoya is useless and he is not representing wishes of people from North, he Rejected 50 + 1 Bill and you run away
Why kamlepo not MCP MPs speaking like this
chindere chakufikapo kamplepo, wukachimbila 50 + 1 bill iwe
Kamlepo is simply looking for recognition within the DPP camp. Pajatu akuluwa amatero. Akachoka apo akadzimangilire ndi zingwe za green aziti MCP inawaba. KKKKKKK
All along I thought Honorable Kalua is some body we can trust. But now I have believed what my friend told me. Kalua is useless and above all he is just an opportunist.
Just a point of correction to Biti John, Sam Mpasu was not impeached but rather appointed a cabinet minister and forced to resign which is different from impeachment. Second point of correction to one called Dr. Fiderus Miyoyooo, northerners are not makape, can makape dominate all spheres of life? Are you aware that MCP was formed by three northers Aleke, Kanyama and Orton Chirwa? Are you aware that Chikufwa contributed significantly to dawn of multiparty system of government when people from the centre and south save for the Catholic bishops were hiding? Are you aware that northers has produced more university graduates in this country to the extent of coming up with an affirmative action to trim the figures when it became clear that on merit people from the south and centre could not compete with them? Are you aware that Kinnah Phiri remains the greatest footballer and coach Malawi has ever produced? Are you aware that Mwai Kumwenda and Tabitha Chawinda are northerners? What can of a Dr are you? You are a big embassament. Malawi is not developing because people like you who think and act cowardly are in majority and end up voting on tribal and regional lines. You are a disgrace.
Kaya ndinu anzeru kaya ndinu odziwa mpira. Mbwenumbwenu sadzalamulila dziko la Malawi. Inu mudzingotigwilira ntchito basi kikikikiki
Inf fact northerners are perfect makape, first class mazoba. Just look at how Jappue Mhango, Goodall Gondwe, Obama Chiumia mouth lick the ass hole of Mutharikas? Look at how kamlepo kaluwa rants on non sensical issues just for him to get exxagerated visibity?
Kodi so inu people from the north who hero worship people from other regions? Who gave Kamuzu Banda and Bingu Mathanyula such tags like Ngwazi? Is it not Goodall Gondwe who is allocating more money to Thyolo District? Is Thyolo District in the north and is he not from the North? Mxiiiiii. Shupit zanu
Sam Mpasu was impeached .He is from Ntcheu but no
One from the central said people of central region are feeble up being used.
What’s wrong with Northerners ?
We are all Malawians .
That’s a political post not a tribal one you daft Kamlepo
MCP has disciplined leadership, there is nothing on the table of what you (kalua) are saying but tenganani nonse ndi Msowoya wakoyo pitani ku DPP, very untrustworthy, kumpoto alipo anthu ena anzeru not you.
Mr Kalua just join DPP paja munadya kale zawo.You went to negotiate for the safe return of JB?Amayi anakukaniranitu.
DADA KAMLEPO , DON’T RUN AWAY FROM THE FACT THAT YOUR COMRADE RICHARD MSOWOYA IS A COWARD AND IT IS NOT TRUE THAT MCP WANT TO REMOVE HIM BECAUSE HE IS FROM THE NORTH.
IS HE THE ONLY NORTHERNER WHO IS IN MCP ?
BY THE WAY, AM STILL WAITING FOR THE EVIDENCE OF THE THE PEOPLE WHO KIDNAPPED YOU LAST YEAR ?
LASTLY, WETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT ‘” DPP'” IS BOUNCING BACK IN 2019
Anthu akumpoto ndinu makape. You sell out yourselves and don’t wonder why people give you a lot of tags like used condoms, vindere etc you are selfish people
pathako pako shupit wochokela kwa chief lundu
Honorable Kalua you are stupid stop using words like.. ‘We northerners , we are ………” . The speaker can be impeached if there is good but not in this case. whether he is from the north or south. You think MCP are sympathy seekers to involve you in solving their problems. You are boring with your we we we we.
Chimwendo Banda very strong man we are proud of you when you speak, you speak for the people every body listen carefully.
UZINENA INE KAMLEPO NOT WE NORTHERNERS >STUPID> PATHAKO
