Law expert urges impeachment of Mutharika for ‘bribery’ of Malawi journalists: Calls APM ‘worse demagogue’
Malawi law professor Danwood Mzikenge Chirwa has called for President Peter Mutharika to voluntary resign as Head of State or impeachment proceedings to be commenced against him for “bribing” media practitioners that had dinner with him at Sanjika Palace last Tuesday.
Chirwa, a professor of law at the prestigious University of Cape Town in South Africa, told Nyasa Times that the grounds of Mutharika’s impeachment are twofold.
Firstly, Mutharika is accused of publicly bribing journalist he hosted with K50 000 each. Secondly, he is accused of patronising an ethnic cultural event [Mulakho wa Alomwe] which had used public funds to cover part of the costs of hosting the event.
“Both incidents show his proclivity towards criminal behaviour and actual participation in criminality,” Chirwa told Nyasa Times.
The law professor stated: “It is deeply troublesome that as the cost of life is spiralling out of control for most Malawians, the judiciary is on strike, teachers have not been paid their meagre salaries, primary school learners are not in class and patients are dying in hospitals and at home, the President continues to abuse state resources with reckless abandon.
“His brother stands accused of having drained over 90 billion kwacha from which he has unjustly benefited. We had expected that Peter Mutharika would distance himself from the fraudulent and nepotistic DPP and regain public trust by carrying out a sincere campaign against looting of state resources. On the contrary, Peter Mutharika is proving to be a worse demagogue than his elder brother.”
Chirwa in his no-holds-barred interview with Nyasa Times said it is difficult to understand how President Mutharika could continue milking resources from this bankrupt government.
“Either he is in a vegetative state which makes him incapable of excising his mind, or his thinking capacity has dwindled due to old age. On either ground, he is disqualified from acting as President of Malawi,” the law expert said of the 75-year-old Malawi Head of State who was controversially elected in May, 2014.
The University of Cape Town law connoisseur said it is an impeachable offence for a President to commit a criminal offence while in office.
“He is not the first to this, but the public must begin to hold these morally challenged leaders to account.”
On the allegations of bribing journalists, Chirwa cited a newspaper column by Times TV editor Gracian Tukula who disclosed that at a recent meeting with journalists the President hosted , the Minister of Information Kondwani Nankhumwa misled them into believing that the envelops they were being given contained the President’s plans for the media.
It turned out that the envelopes contained stacks of 50 000 kwacha.
Tukula wrote on his column: “When I saw people getting out of the banqueting hall and returning with a big dark blue envelope I assumed that was the promised booklet and went out to collect mine. When I went outside I got my own envelope, a pen and another envelope. I was shocked to note that there was no booklet in the first place, but a blank pad in a branded wallet. The other envelope had K500 notes amounting to K50,000! I could not hide my surprise to my table mates. It simply did not make sense to me. I first thought of returning it but did not want to create a scene. What should I do with it?”
Nyasa Times journalists who attended the meeting also confirmed receiving the “blue envelops” which contained cash.
Chirwa commented: “If the bribe was indeed the President’s plan, then we have a more serious problem that just this single blatant act of bribery. The President has committed himself to corrupting journalists in future. It is unconscionable enough that the office of the presidency should be occupied by deeply flawed, corrupt and nepotistic individuals. It is worse when such individuals act with impunity and commit bribery in front of the whole press and with members of the press.”
He continued: “The bigotry of the President is manifested in the fact that he had the audacity to make a plea at the same event to donors to give his government money. The question is, does he want more money so that he can continue to convert it to his own use and maintain his networks of patronage and corruption?
“ What will it take for these presidents to realise that they cannot continue to steal from the state, that stealing from the state is stealing from their own poor Malawians, that stealing from the state is criminal and unconscionable? How long shall poor Malawians suffer and continue to lead languid lives in poverty before President Mutharika and his henchmen realise that the people need ethical and stately leadership.”
Chirwa challenged the journalists involved that they have a moral obligation to return the money and to report the bribery to the authorities.
“ Indeed, it is deeply troubling when a whole cohort of journalists sees blatant corruption but do not notice and report it immediately. This underlines how deeply embedded corruption is in our society and the need for extraordinary measures to combat it. That includes an immediate demand for Mutharika to resign on his own or be impeached,” said Chirwa.
The law expert said the conduct of he President constitutes crimes under sections 25B and 26 of the Corrupt Practices Acts.
He called for the opposition parties and MPs to “arise from their slumber and begin to lead” accusing them of being . “ too soft on corruption and government incompetence,” which he said is itself very worrying.
“This country needs to stop corruption and abuse of state resources,” said Chirwa.
Before the meeting with the President, Ministry of Information said in a statement that government would pay journalists travelling outside Blantyre K30,000 each as accommodation allowance. The money was paid plus K50,000 from the President.

Who cares about the Nyikas who are talking nonsense. This is how the Nyikas do when they are working temporary sweeping jobs in RSA do. During Kamuzu banda Mwanamwana tchweee voiced unnecessarily in south africa against Kamuzu. To the extent of giving kamuzu Banda 100 days for him to resign. So Tumbukas are noisy all the times. Thus why they will never rule this country and no body will give them feudalism let alone seccession. The will keep barking like the dogs that do not bite.Kamule the Tumbuka talked shit in John and its Chirwa talking the same shit in John.What type of people are these. Are they Malawians or what. I have never heard a southerner or central gulewamkulu vomiting shit in John against hist country. North has problems. Take note.Atumbuka ndi anyani wopanda kwawo basi even the source of the above report is from Thom Chiumia, a northerner. Koma ndiye mumaidziwa critical criticism.
You people from north what are trying to bring in this country? Nzeru yasowa eti? Shame!!!
Taziuzenidi mbuzi zimenezi!!!
Guys out there I am an experienced journo. Getting money from APM is not an issue. I received my share over K150000 as senior in the profefession which was recognised by the head of state. I just thanked God for opening hands of APM to give us such amount.Yes I thanked God as what Billy banda the Malawi watch leader for being given chairmanship for ESCOM. So Phodogoma has eaten the money and I am very happy. After eating and eating from the government I will hide as what Mwakasungula did during abiti Mtila. Ndi nthawi yathu yino yoti titakate atola nkhani. We are not politicians.
Banjoyani. Bola zisachite culminate into PETERGATE. Tifuna kuziwa kuti zachoka pa vote it? Anakachita cash ndani, ndipo bank yake iti? Zikuoneka ngati cashgate ilipobe. Mphwiyo wina alipo. Tiyeni nazoni!!

Esteemed ladies and gentlemen, I see no reason to argue here. who makes noise when you get huge sums of money from meetings and workshops? can this be an issue to get transport reimbursement of 50,000 from the president? If you have enough money does not mean to everybody. There are alot of issues of national interest which journalists need to fight for and not this rubbish. Its high time we have made stories from senseless issues. Musamatichititse manyazi. There is not even one day, when the so called professor Chirwa stood up to fight for better perks for Journalists. walk around and appreciate how the media guys are staggering to Balance for their basic needs in day to day life. Bravo Mr President!! you did good to give the 50,000. enafe kanatisuntha. tinagulako matemba, mchere ndi sopo and managed to settle with the landlord. Olemeranu khalani.
There is no offence committed since none was reported to Police or ACB. None of the journalists took up a citizen’s duty to report the offence to an appropriate forum as you had accused Lutepo
I am Tonga and from the north, However I find Danwood a learned dunderhead and nepotistic. If he has the lives of Malawians and the development of malawi at heart, what is he doing in south Africa…I hate people that sort of thinking….Secondly Some word of caution to Tukula is that he must remain a professional and never practice politics whilst still practicing like what his brother Brian did…”you are assassinating your Image and professionalism”….thirdly you need to know that when you work out of your duty station, you are supposed to be taken care of with transport and other things irrespective of the hardships that we are all going through save for Danwood and that is a painful fact unless you change the employment acts currently in place.
Lmk,you dont know anything dumb head,the transport and accomodation was already given(k30000)for reporters travelling outside BT..The 50 pin was i think a share of cashgate money which will be mentioned in 92 bn plunder.
tsono bribe yo nde k50 pin, tamanenankoni serious acusation. Mukanacokako empty handed nde mukanakwiyanso. Tsono nsima mumadya ija nde si bribery, na ka whisky kaja? Bwanji simunakagwande! Komabe impeach him anyway
I am very worried with the shallow and biased thinking among the majority of you posting here. Since when did transport refund became a bribe. The president invited the journalists; some of them had to drive all the way from Lilongwe. The Kwacha is devalued and MK50,000 is not much; it is justifibale to cater for fuel, wear and tear and other incidentals. When you receive the same money from NGO functions, you say is not a bribe. Lastly, Prof Chirwa is too aggressive and his conduct does not befit of a sound intellectual but rather someone seeking public attention for his future political agenda. I urge him to remain mute until he comes back here in Malawi. As for the rest of you, you are not saints, you say no allowance no meeting. Shame on you, let us all change.
Abwana mukati refund of allowance kodi anasayinira
Limk@215, In NGOs journalist sign for their money and not given in envelopes. If the money was meant for fuel, wear,tear and other incidentals then it was very little for those coming from Lilongwe because fuel only should be in access of MK80,000.00 at the applicable rate of 7 kilometers to one litre. Again bwana Limk@215 why was MK50,000.00 given to journalist from Blantyre. Can the same justification be used that is fuel, incidentals, wear and tear ? or just bribery. Why the uniform rate.
### 215 Limk, !!!! you are totally idiot when president handout the ENVELOPES Peter Mutharika did not explain what K50,000.00 for, so you cannot guess here by saying it was for FUEL yet Malawi as a whole people are suffering, we have poverty and hunger as well as UNEPLOYMENT then you gave money to journalists and yet you are saying for allowances and journalists did not ask for allowance WRONG, WRONG and WRONG conduct from president of Malawi.
Who employed these journalists is it president of Malawi NO! NO! and NO they are coming from different films ( companies )
Giving money to journalists through ENVELOPES what does it implies to you, please you do not need to be educated to determine bribes or corruption president of Malawi is buying journalists so that they must write good news for Peter Mutharika and his organisation DDDDDDDDDDPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP.
ABUSING GOVERNMENT FUNDS PRESIDENT OF MALAWI
i`m just urging the tumbukas to cntribute positively and wisely on this issue.being a tumbuka doesn’t mean that you should criticise whatever mw president does. mukakhala inu a so called professor chirwa you have just been proven to be stupid and full os mumble jumble.a tukula ndiye za nzeru palibe ndiwe mbuzi.i u r righteous why not returning the cash? it has now started ringing in my thoughts that nyasa times is just the machinary and mercenary of the pp. to hell with tukula and chirwa, zitsiru anthu. u r just a shame to be called malawians.mwandipsensa mtima kwambiri akapolo odontha inu
just speak ur views and no insults, anger and frastrations.
Hypocrates! U r all wicked, exept one.
APM IS CONTINUING FROM HIS LATE BROTHER BINGU STOPPED. WE JUST NOTICED NEPOTISM , CASHGATE (NOW AT NACA), BRIBING , SHOOT TO KILL ETC ETC
When are you people going to realise that APM has no understanding or respect for Malawi? He uses stooges around him to navigate the political field and these stooges are from the Bakili Muluzi University. To APM anything and everyone in Malawi can be bought. Do you remember this guy was passing envelopes with money at his brothers funeral to keep MPs in the blue section ? Do you remember that recording that was leaked ? He invites journalists for discussions where the journalists are not allowed to speak, a little dancing , a little food – here is your envelope, now get out! And it is not only because we let him but we also participate by accepting these bribes …. less than $100. Mpaka Tenthani, Muckracker ? Hear him now … oh, i didn’t know there was cash till i got home – why didn’t you bring the issue up until Gracie Tukula did. Our actions only enforce the poverty from which we attempt to get out of. Muzamva one day … Mmxxii
you journalists who do you want to cheat? clean your house first, you are the ones who have corrupted our minds by claiming money after every meeting you attend to and you are on paid duty. When we don t give you don’t come. who do you want to cheat?
There is no issue of bribery here Mr Chirwa. It was a gift from the state house. If it was a bribe then the food and drinks they had was also a bribe? While I appreciate that you are a law expert, it seems you don’t understand the culture. If the same president visited Inkosi and give a gift of the same type will you say he bribed the Inkosi. If the reporter was not happy with the gift, he could have left it there, no one was going to accuse him. Sometimes we want to look like we are saints but the truth is that we have received so many bribes in our lifes. Is is a bribe because it was from the president? Lets stop this nonsense and move ahead. If people are to come out and say how Tukura has been bribed before you will be shocked Dan. Tukura is not a saint as you think , even yourself is not a saint.
On the Muhlakho group, I don’t understand because NAC cannot release money without a proposal that has been approved. Where on earth will NAC dish out fans without a proposal that meet its obligation. Please stop hating other tribes. The more you hate other tribes the more your cvs will be looking oogo.
peter’s inner circle is full of rotten brains,no wonder he is making such reckless moves.i don’t have any problem dinning with journalists but giving them money clearly shows political shortsightedness. the president needs to make changes of the people around him coz it seems they are misleading him.
Being a proffesor does mean you have wisdom, if you were a good man why are you a law professor in a foreign country, you ‘ve just shown how useless you are by saying APM must resign. Even if can resign do you think you can be our next president? Maloto a chiumba amenewo. Just enjoy with the rands you are getting there and don’n mislead peaceful Malawians here. If you realy love your country why are you in South Africa, you are busy developing other countries and leave your own country, shame on you, just shut up your mouth and leave Malawi alone. Impeachment what are talking about nosense.
Peter is a mchona, we only got to know him when Bingu became president. Akuwaka manda a mayi ake lero kunama kuti Kamuzu akanawamanga. We have been without Kamuzu for 20 years. Nchona koma ameneyu. Wabwera kudzaba ndikuti adzayikidwe mmanda owawidwa. Uko akanafa ngati nkhuku. Sathanso kulankhula, sanamudule lutata, mukamudulitse.
I’m now convinced that the only reason journalists in Malawi are angry about Cashgate is because they were left out of it . There is no difference between most of our journalists and Lutepo or Kasambara .
You knew that he was bribing, osazibweza bwaji ndalamazo?
ndalama yabvutira pano eish landilani mukuyangana kumbali……but if it ma 50 kwacha mukanayankhula…..what about akumangwetu was he bribing ppo who were getting tima 50kwachati tokhala ngati aloverayu…….every where there is corruption just by seeking favours its corruption
Look who’s talking ? U’ve your mouth full of chimtuwitsa and yet u r condemning the supplier of the scorn. Tukula must be a hypocrite . If your conscience is truly what u r struggling to display , then u must return the bundle of k500 notes .
Pac was there. Catholic clergy were there . Presidential candidates were there . And a horde of others went and received their notes and silently stashed them and walked away . Our journos went And received their bribes as well and noisily gobbled their bribes . Stupid noisy scribes . Who are you trying to fool?
Peter is now Bakili’s friend. So we should expect the envelope system to resume.
Ifenso tikukonza wathu ulendo wakustate house just b4 xmas . We promise to silently walk away to ” avoid making a scene ” .
Malawian journalists , i wish u a prosperous xmas, full of scones .
This is the very reason Malawi will never advance, will never develop. Here is the whole president bribing journalist and we are clapping hands for him. I know most of the comments here are from the very same corrupt journalists and the ignorants who apologise to the person who spits in their face. Zoonadi ngakhale fisi amakhala ndi abwenzi. Tsoka Malawi
Kuphuzisa kumalawi umango sangalala ndi amkazi ndiponso a eni basi kapena nandolo akuti mphatso
Tjo am tired and sick of this Mutharikas actions,i agree with u Danwood 100% bcz he has shown as that he isnt reliable & must be impeached no other way.That is why he doest support federalism bcz he wants a vast space to do this.
Number 191 called Wawa is a very mental retarded person here. Whats wrong with someone working abroad? Have you find out how much investment Mr Chirwa has put in Malawi? You silly burger
Koma akunena chilungamotu. Vuto la Malawi munthu akanena zoona mumadana naye. Although I am a Mlhomwe, I 101% agree with him. This is daylight robbery. Ena adzapezeka mmanda atamangidwa ndi unyolo wopanda potsegulira. Kubera a Malawi akusauka
@ 191 Your bloody president worked in the USA fo 30 years and came home with nothing and now busy stealing just like what his brother did.This intellectual is a prof at Law.
i told this country in in the hands of dogs now!
Koma ziliko. Vuto la nkhalambazi ndilimeneli. Mxiiiw wandiktanatu ameneyu.
Bribe intends to uncover some scene. So, so called Prof Chirwa, establish dat scene. Adawiz u r mad n jelousy. HE may have given da envlops to appreciate journalists’s attendance to a meeting. Com onnnnnnn!
a narrow mind of a learned professor of law. empty tins too noisy!
Ask your friends in the country and they will tell you real polictics in Malawi.
You must know that the voice of the South is more defeaning that it is well heard in the centre and North. This is the more reason that, albeit the negatives about APM that you flighted everywhere in Malawi and abroad,he won the presidency.
if you are jealousy about somebody in life, just be rest assured that he will rule you forever. you see just after two years they are back m’boma. Mcp is still failing to return for 25years, udf for 15 years and AFORD is long dead. professorial law knowledge is but theoretical,entirely classroom knowledge. if practical lawyers like Raphael Kasambala / Justin Dzonzi speak we know a man in legal profession has spoken and we trust. Bye for now!
Journalists,if really you took the money from the so called president then i blame you,your conscious if any,your teachers as well as your masters. You have embarrased the profession. You are nothing but maggots. You are encouraging this president to steal and share a little to the priviledged
A Malawian teaching in RSA failing to develop your own country???? You have to come and develop Malawi, why are you teaching in RSA. Let us speak in MW speak.
This issues is not for Tumbuka or whosoever, its a nation concerns. Malawian sometimes try to understand what others suggest.
people attacking the learned professor and indeed even nyasatimes for publishing this article are really missing the point. Frankly speaking how can the govt spend lots of taxpayers money to bribe journalists, lavishly fund muhlakho, and others which are nevertheless important but to few and fails to pay innocent civil servants their hard earned meagre salaries. Its clear something is out of the norm here. Bringing issues of federalism, tribalism, realism or seccesionism wont help malawi to move. Lets see the sense and logic in the issues raised in the article and not necessarily the origin or the mental faculties of the author and the propounder of the article. Atsogoleri athu ndi anthu amamva tikawadzudzula constructively. the wiseones said ‘ukundisokosela, komabe wamva’
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk These are daft Lawyers who are diluting the profession. Mr. Chirwa, concentrate on issues that can help poor Malawians. We know that you are a failed Lawyer who is seeking refugee in South Africa. That’s why you were unemployable in Malawi. All the same you can contribute something helpful to Malawians. Even an embecile has a stake in development.
You must be a daft if you can’t get sense out of what the learned lawyer is saying. Probably you must be one of these stupid lomwes who clap hands even when the president blunders. Apa ndipamene timatsimikizira kuti ATUMBUKA NDI ANTHU ANZERUDI who are not driven by emotions but facts.

This is satanic at its best, how can the whole president give such amount to journalists yet Malawians in the village are failing to eat ndio with salt because of high prices of goods due to the depreciation of kwacha, go peter go
CHEAP JOURNALISTS – FOR K50000.00 you sell you voice and birthright? A cow is superior, it costs over K300000.00.
You mean your organisations were unable to transport you to Blantyre for the official function, so you needed to stoop low to accept corrupt monies for transport?
If indeed you accepted this money then you have no legitimacy to speak for the voiceless, because you are the hypocrites
Even the muckracker?
I personally don’t promote tribal hatred but our friends from the north are now proving to be a thorn in the flesh. we have our lives to live musandiyankhulitse pambali its against my concious.
Now I believe u are ass-wiper of corrupt and useless leaders of Mathanyula and Buluzi
A Chirwa kani ndi inu ooneka chonco. We can not waste time with those looks. Timayesa kuti ndi zinthu kapena kuti ndi munthu wenin weni wa kumutu kwa anthu. Mukufuna kuthawa ina ija ya Law Society. First deal with that one and then find other better things.
Umati awoneke bwanji anyamata wophunzira awa, kwanu kuzolowera corruption basi.
Lets talk about what can develop Malawi here and not this nosense of tribalism. Nothing we can all get from pointing at each other as mtumbuka or mchewa or mlowe or myao etc. Talk real issues here. Ngati mulimbe fundo pitani kagoneni kuti mupange refresh your drains. Mukulimbana nawowo anapitatu ku sukulutu!!!! Nanga inu munalekezela pati tikudziweni? Mukunyoza Professor!!

This js not a learned man but an incarnation of a book fed lseudo- intellectual whose understanding of the real world and indeed even the academic world is severely limited. Where in Africa- including South Africa have u seen a President resign?! Was it in yiur dreams or in the ilusionary Republic of Nyika??? Punk nigga!
A chirwa find other things to do with your nzeru. Forget zikwanitsidwani ndi UCT basi do not waste your time and breath. Dziko ili. Fedulo siikugwira nseu tsopan impechment?

Typical Mtumbuka- sitting on a tree like a full fed monkey and encouraging others to risk their lives when he lives in safety in Cape Town! Does he even begin to understand thesocial uoheaval this will cause. Is he ready for war???! Yhen let him comr back to Malawu dnd fight on the frontlines!!!
You dont get a gift after attending a meetin,The allowance has to be paid through proper channels.This was clear bribes.The problem with Malawians is that you see the problem and yet you back the fool and smile and T THE end you start complaining about the cost of living.Idiots
Eeeeiiiiii where will Malawi go with this driver? Woe to those who mislead people like those who mislead President to continue bribing.
I believe now that it may not be the will of President but the influence of the people. The President is for every Malawian. If you still maintain tribalism,we will not make a better malawi
Let us follow the principle of the rule of LAW. Don’t take the law into our hands because of our positions.

It take two to commit a corrupt act. In this case the Media people that received the money without returning it and make a case are also criminals, they should be dealt with also. Where are the relevant NGOs to take this matter up. Malawi. We are yet to see worse things. We have leadership crisis in Malawi. We fail to find cadres that are fit to hold such an office of the Presidency.

Gracian Tukula and all well-meaning journos. Use the money to help a fellow journo undergo a kidney transplant…that is, if the money is really burning a hole in your pockets Otherwise….shaddup!!!
Moyenda, are you telling malawians that you see nothing wrong bribing? Are you truly a malawian yourself? Are you a father, one who is responsible? If you are how do you see the future of your children under such leadership? May be you will leave the children with their mother and their uncles and you will be gone to another chikamwini.
Shoou, you are a die hard tribalistic. May God guide you. Sorry I am mtumbuka/mu phoka. You can hate me too and call me names, but i love you as a malawian and as human.
When you propose a senseful thing to senseless society what do you expect? Peter was, is & will be a thief; NACGATE now JOURNALISTGATE. Shame! Peter will steal K500 billion. Mark my words.
they may argue that the money was meant for transport\fuel or whatever for the journalists but i feel its on the higher side. but also if they were to be given k10.000 kwachas, the same could have started calling him names, owumila etc. the journalists, by accepting the money, they too should resign as to me, they are corrupt themselves. when did they notice that the envelopes contained money? did any of them report it to authorities? i know a lot of them always demand for something when ever they are invited to a function, especially ku sports. ask any sports administrator, he will tell you this. these journalist are not different from lutepo.
the presdent gave them money not bribes.what is it he has done that needs favor from them’?waba kapena,inuyo mutiwuze zomwe wachita APM kuti akuopa.mwangokhala prof of law koma bribe simukuidziwa.amenewo ndi allowance coz anaitana kuwasiitsa ntchito zawo.inu ndinu anthu amene muma sangalala kumalawi kuno zinthu zikamasokonekera.empeachment or what,ndife tiri kuno kumudzi omwe zingati not inu ku capetown.shutup
Did Malawians really expected a defferent story from this man? I mean his brother was a big thief,he must be a thief also.
what about you chiba? Pple say ur brother raped your sister, so you are also a raper, not so?
Man, you r talking

There is alot of sense in what Danwood is saying. The only problem is that impeachment can only work in a functional society and functional democracy and not in Malawi where all the systems are on auto pilot.

CHIJERE CHIRWA CHIMIMBACHO BWANJI? 24 month pregnancy?
The President showing and leading how to do corruption. Malawi yatha dzikoli. Just because he is immuned to prosecution does not mean he can not be removed, either impeachment or people power will do. Peter Mutharika is surely walking on borrowed time. Everyday he creates scandal. He was taped being nepotistic, he was involved in treason, he corruptly and forcefully acquired Lilongwe mayors house, Accademic freedom saga, stealing of election votes, the list is endless and we Malawians sit comfortably that we have a President in Malawi.
I have never seen an incompetent president like Peter Mutharika. We all saw how ineffective he was both as Minister of Justice and Education, yet people still entrusted him with the higher position of presidency? The holy word says it all: He who fails in small things, cannot succeed in bigger tasks-Never.
this stupid president dis is great evidence dat he robbed de presidency, he is falling to control the situation instead corrupting pple who diseminate information.
LETS PRAY DAT ALMIGHTY GOD HELP OUR NATION MALAWI AND EXPOSE THEM NOW AND AGAIN.OPOSITION MUST COME IN OPEN ,DO SOMETIN OR WE LOSE TRUST IN YO CHEKS AND BALANCE JOB. FACT:OPOSITION GETS POPULA THRU POTENT CHEKS AND BALNCE ON RULIN PARTY EVILS
I hope it is not true. I had a lot of respect for the Professor. Malawian Journalists, where is your integrity? That money will be finished one day, but the sin against the suffering Malawians and GOD will be with you to the gates of hell. No wonder that lady who danced with the president was all too, too, too happy. Let’s not support evil just because we are in that tribe or party or family or from that area. I will condemn evil even if it’s from my own house.
Mbudzi iwe, namalira wamkulu!
Palibe nkhani pamenepo… you losers! iwe galu wachabechabe wa federalism, political frustrated idiot. Dp you… dare you impechment. if private campanies give out transport for hosting journalists… what about statehouse, if church members amapatsidwa alllowance iwe ndiye uti. Organize your own press event and if you dont give allowance to these guys … they will not participate…. ask UN agencies if they can conduct an press event without envelops. no sense. by the way corruption yake yayenda bwanji. osamasokoneza gifts with bribes
Opanda nzeru inu, you think like animals without an intelligent brain.
Total rubbish.
Why didn’t you chirwa first ask for the impeachment of MP’s for allocating themselves k12milliom loans which the poor Malawians will be footing for the next 5yrs?
Being a professor doesn’t mean whatever you say is wise.
Constitutionally Malawi laws only says that impeachment can only after serious violation of the constitution which I feel it can’t be proved here.
Waste of time.
Total crap
The act of president is very worysome because the state president can not do such stupid things in the presence of it’s citizen.i do realy agree that he must resign fron his position of president.
Ndi wanzeru kwabasi,ife ndi chifukwa tinamusankha kuti alamulire inu anthu osaphunziranu ,ndipo timusankhaso kachiwiri.
Nobody who chose Muthalika its judges not Malawians people, you’re Very foolish my friend.
TAZILANDIRA.SO WHAT? APM WATIPATSA MPHOTHO.
Mphoto for what?
This man is a fool how can you give K50,000 for nothing when teachers want their remunerations, Malawi is thrown to the dogs

Atolankhani, zinakanika pati kuti mufufuze chifukwa chomwe munalandirira extra K50, 000 yet you were only entitled to receive K30, 000. Mwatikhumudwitsa inu atolankhani. Despite all the challenges Malawi is passing through, the whole head of state is busy dishing out money for nothing. How do you then indend to rescure Malawi poverty. Who will trust you with such unethical conducts? Malawi is not you as president, but people who entrusted you to lead the nation through their May 20 votes. Dont forget that you are not the first and not the last one.
Nothing wrong with that it is called ‘token of appreciation’ for attending the meeting
no one can prove that The President did not use his personal money…..nothing wrong with giving…
Imraani wakhutadi mpunga wa yellow wa ku sadaka.I know u support it Because Mathanyula is screwing Buluzi.Ndi Billy Kaunda paja chidatha.Boko Haram!

but why cant this new broom sweep well?
I doubt whether this country will ever have another president as stupid and as dull as APM . This guy is a complete disaster for Malawi . Mbendera must be embarrassed wherever he is .
Ndalama yavuti wina kukupasa sungakana,umalandiriranjia iwe galu eti ukanabwenza
kkkkkkkkk was this a workshop? what was the purpose of these MK50,000s? where did this money come from? I this is the way the President want to run this mother Malawi then a call for his impeachment is valid. If our journalists, media house owners, MISA chairperson stand such a low profile then they don’t deserve respect and trust. Money indded is a source of all evil. Peter should pack and leave Sanjika.
Chijere chirwa chotu chanyoko! Not long ago you were enemy number one for bingu, now what are you doing with petera? I now have seen your hypocrite side of you swine!
This law pro based in SA is just a professor. There is nothing in this article. Do u know where these K50,000 were coming from? the president have his own cash. He cant bribe openly. There was Tenthani, Kachitosi. U cant cheat these guyz. U’ r enjoying a good lyf there and ukupalasila moto anthu kuno. Wozelezeka iwe.
I beg to differ. its just allowance for travelling. how can the whole president bribe journalists with only fifty thousand kwacha only. nosense.
Koma ambwenu mbwenu enawa,imeneyi ndi nkhani yomuchotsera munthu pa udindo?kodi APM NDIWOYAMBA KUGAWA ZITHU?JB SANAGAWE ZITHU?.ZIKUSIYANA BWANJI?,KAPENA CHIFUKWA CHOTI AWO NDI ATOLA NKHANI?AMENEWO AKUSIYANA BWANJI NDI ANTHU ENA?
50 thousands for transport and accomodation since many of them do come from outside Blantyre,so being a legal expert in S.Africa do not guarantee you to confuse the arleady confused system by mismanagement of your in-law.It was arleady communicated that lodging and transportation will be provided for.Chirwa dont force us to categorize you ethnically as archtechts of federalism out of electoral insomnia.Prove your claims,since Mlakho wa Ahlomwe never ceased to take the pomp it is associated with for past 2 years JB was in power
Can you read ? The government provided 30k for traveling and accomodation allowances which was duly signed for. Then the journalists received an extra 50k which even the journalists themselves didn’t know what it was for … And they didn’t sign for it as you would for allowances. Let me tell you , your support for this behavior only confirms APMs view of malawians as simple minded hungry people who can easily be controlled… He has NO respect for Malawians this guy.

This law professor is really a Deadwood. He is too vocal like one time Harry Mangulenje. Tumbukas never stop to amuse people. After sharing the loot of Joyce banda they are playing reputation management. You deadwood, did you come home and vote in the previous elections? You must be a deadwood indeed! Just stay close to your mother their in RSA and enjoy the loot she got from Lutepo basi!
why even single radio station didnt tell it to the nation? chilungamo chasowapo. mwayambira amabungwe kuwapatsa mipando lero ndiizi kuzemba mafuso. PROF by name.
I think the learned Professor should have enough sense to direct this to the right forum and not Nyasatimes. This article will not contribute to his list of publications or lack of it. He is a rouble rouser who clearly faild to make it in Malawi.

Looking at some of the comments above just confirms why Malawi shall always not only be a third world country, but also, not one of, but the poorest. How can anyone support blatant wrong doing such as this, especially so, at a time like this? We are dumb, us Malawians. And it had to take someone in SA to bring this to the fore and we still have the cheek to call him names for doing so. Sad, indeed.
And suddenly, people are calling this “allowances” for the journalists, really!! I guess we will be calling the MK15,000,000 stolen from NAC a donation. I guess we like looking at “mabele” so much we do not mind who is displaying them anymore (men or women), simply because we cannot access the right ARV’s and are having to make do with whatever is dumped on us. HIV/AIDS is not only in Malawi, but ask yourself this “where else did we hear of men developing “mabele because of taking the life prolonging drug, uuh?”
That’s the Malawian at his/her best.
Especially anzanthu awa osaphunzra awa, sakudziwakanthu ata! How can someone support what Munthalika did! absolutely foolish thing, Mankhwala mulibe muzipatalamu wina akugawa makobili.
Agalu osayamika inu! Munthu wakuitanani kunyumba kwake mwakasusuka za tswayitswayi,wakuninkhani ya Bonya mukuti walakwa.
Your comments are an indication of the moral depravity of Malawians. God forgive us.
why it that u pple from north always couse problems in malawi ,kodi chobvuta ndichani munyamuke mukakale kwanu and not couz problems ,u come here from north get money here buy houses here do biznes here develop bt and ll living your north in that stet koma chifujwa chofuna kudzesa chisokonezo u want someone to develop your north mbuzi
May God of all nations humbly please help us, we are nothing without you please Lord of mercy.
I thot they told us that they had raised 60 million during the Mulhakho fund raising dinner and dance at COM?Why then stealing that huge sum from NAC?Shame!!!
Uyu ndiye professor chitsilu bwelako ku capetown whkuta nyemba eti impeachment ? what are talking about?
God sees all what is happening & has the best solution this.
That is exactly what we were saying that Peter Mutharika would be the worst leader than his brother Bingu, see now. Bola lolowa mobera ndi limeneli a Malawi anzanga.

THE ACCIDENTAL PRESIDENT -MALAWI’S DOOM
You will never be home in a strange country home is where you belong
They call themselves Malawians yet they have dual citizenship, there is no way
a person can live in two different worlds at the same time, one needs to have a sense
of belonging and being a part of a particular group of individuals who share a common ground, beliefs and aspirations.
A true Malawian will acknowledge and understand the fact that Malawians are currently
going through very difficult, tough and hard times, only God knows why we continue to survive at the mercy of our corrupt leadership
We must come together and speak with one Voice against all evils of Men and Women at the Helm of Power in this Country lets we all perish one by one as we watch their Fat bellies getting bigger and thicker
This country and all its resources does not belong nor is it a shared or leased property for some few corrupt individuals who believe they are above the law .As Malawians we must demand for the prosecution of all corrupt cases even those involving the sitting president we must fight tirelessly until we see justice delivered at the end of the day.
Malawi has the potential to grow we are well capable of graduating from an aid dependent country to a self sustaining flourishing economy all it takes is a great deal of brevity ,wisdom and will to make a change and we can all do it together as one Nation one Malawi let us love, enjoy and protect our country from the Exploitation WITHIN and BEYOND
its been very wonderful having you read this article am yours truly
CHILUNGAMO CHENI-CHENI
come on ppo, the way amavutikila ma journalist aku Malawi kuno, kungopatsidwa chi 50 grand cha ulere akanakana? in as much as i dont like APM but i dont see anything wrong with him giving the journalists some money. osabwebwetuka zoti he invited them for dinner bwa? imeneyonso si corruption? aaah kodi inu anthu aku Nyika republic achina professor Chirwa kufuna kutamika bwanji? zindere zakufikapo!
Dear All Journalist who received the envelopes.
Please put all the money together and give it back as soon as possible. Timaziyamba tokha. Why fueling corruption. The fact that none but one mentioned about it, means u are also cortupt. #GIVE BACK THE MONEY.
Guys, forget about these people from the South. They will support anything even something bad as long as it is Southern oriented. How can a normal person support what the President has done in bribing the eyes and ears of the people. This has never been heard of on this world we are living in.To be precise,the whole world is laughing at us right now and they are saying WHAT A STUPID COUNTRY, STUPID LEADERS and SLEEPY PEOPLE. Now i know that it is true what Dr Kenneth Kaunda said long time ago and i quote “KAMUZU IS LEADING DEAD PEOPLE”end of quote.While other regions are waking up,the people of Southern region are still sleepy and dead. They can even support a dog to lead them as long as that dog is one of their kind.If my comment infuriates you,then forgive me but it’s the truth,the whole truth but the truth.
All journalists that received K50 000 are very stupid & I have stopped trusting these thieves except Gracian Tukula. Tenthani et al are foolish. Mbava inu pamodzi ndi gogo wanu. Zitsiru inu ma journalist.
Any organization that invites journalists to its function, reimburses transport and foots accommodation. If K50,000.00 warrants a bribe, then journalism is cheap. Some journalists came all the way from Mzuzu and were supposed to spend a night in Blantyre, where were they going to sleep? What about travel expenses? A minister on duty outside his home gets K80,000/day and if a journalist is given K50,000. for a day and night that’s corruption? If you are feeling pain inside you, wait for 2019. This is APMs time!
hw dd u kno that the mone was taken fro government cashbox? iyeyo zake alibe? a chirwa atonga achebechabe inu. iweso umangidwe coz boma lakuphunzitsa kenako ukugwira ntchito kwa eni
While most of the statements coming from our esteemed Prof. Danwood Chirwa are very illuminating and persuasive, I am of the view that he should now tone down and minimise the number of his commentaries , lest he be perceived to be pedantic and a mere busybody .
Akuluwa palibe chomwe atachite kupatula kuonjezela mavuto a a Malawi. Chifukwa bomali anatenga mwa chinyengo. Ndikulila aUDF kufela za eni.
I do not see any good from this government…

how can i be one of the pikesi? this slut has to go mwee.
This is the type of thinking I fail to buy Mr so called Proffesor Chirwa, you are supposed to understand things by using simple examples that occur within us, for example, if I have a wedding and I want to invite from the village, I will need to either send them transport and provide food and accommodation and I don’t need to expect them to attend my wedding on their expense, as of now life is getting costly by day and we also need to upgrade our thinking, It seems the fact that you are in RSA , you don’t learn anything yet you attend all the seminars outside RSA and yet you get alliowances for food , accommodation and sometimes clothing incase of cold season in other countries,
Proffessor Chirwa pls think like you are a professor and you are exposed to good things, this is the type of Malawian thinking where by you don’t add administration costs whenever you are sending someone to do things for you, I fail to buy your idea Mr Chirwa
Malawi ikufunika moral cleansing . Zinthu zasokonokera kwambiri . Whoever gave APM this idea of bribing the journalists ndi chitsiru kwambiri . You are taking advantage of APM because you know that he is almost a foreigner and doesn’t know this country that well . One of these days you will land him into serious problems .
The President of Malawi as a CITIZEN has a right to interact, socialise and play with anybody,
most of the Journalists used their Vehicles to and from their places of work and are entitled to some allowances as that meeting was organised by The President who is the Head of state.
You can not bribe all the journalists at one time and with the same amount on the same day.
As per our History all the Presidents have done this before and not only to Journalists but to many groups.
This Lawyer is drunk with nepotistic tendencies and has no right to question the President while he is in CAPETOWN, and the grounds of Impeachment are baseless and useless. Kamuzu used to Patronise traditional dances, and he used to patronise development agendas to the central region and to his district of Kasungu, he abolished Chinyanja and replaced it with Chichewa which is for only a grouping in the Central Region. Chakufwa Chihana Patronised his Party with only people from the North and he was openly allowing only Northeners to be his Secretaries and workers when he was Minister of Agriculture and Irrigation. So this Daft is implying that only people from the North can do anything or dictate the happenings taking place in Malawi, as much as we appreciate that we are all Malawians and we need to live in peace with each other, we will not take these allegations lightly and people will take you on legally if you will clandestinely try to push this using your networks in Malawi. You people killed Bingu because of noise and ufiti and this time around we will protect our legally elected President with the help from GOD.
Mbunzi ya munthu, kungolemba zopanda mzeru, ndi u profesor wakowo moti uthandize kamanga Dziko ukugumulanso. Pitani kukaya mukapange Dziko lanu. Za chamba basi. Musiyeni APM amele mnofu wabakha, shut up your nonses

If you organise a workshop, conference among others if you do not give journalist allowances they do not come, they only go where allowances are given. Palibepo nkhani apa
When you study Ancient Philosophy, you are told of the Platonic Myth of the Cave. It talks of those who live in darkness and know only of the worl of shadows.When somebody comes to lead them out of the shadow to know the world of light, such people revert to their old state of shadows.
What Prof. Danwood Chirwa Is saying here is loud and clear. He is helping us to open up our eyes and see the light according to the corrupt practices act. Here we are castigating the prof just because he bears a northern region name. Kikikikikiki!
I wish i could talk to you live, you so called Law professor Danwood. I think you dont know what is happening in MALAWI. I remember well the President three months ago hosted a fundraising cermony in preparedness for the mlakho thing. How come you come and tell us that the president stole the money from government and used them?. When Presidents calls for a meeting with chiefs, they always go out with some money, trust it or not but its a fact. So, why dont you come up and react against such practice you so called Danwood?
Let me assure you that, you cant impeach APM and You wont till 2019.

We have to differentiate between corruption and and gift.
corruption in the dictionary: is lack of integrity or
honesty (especially susceptibility to
bribery); use of a position of trust
for dishonest gain.
gift in the dictionary: is something given voluntarily without
payment in return, as to honor a person
or an occasion or to provide assistance;
present.
Explanation: corruption is prepaid before the beneficiary action is taken to receiver, it goes with conditions that grims and forces the giver to pay without h/er interest, in other way corruption is taken in order to jump some Laws put on that thing , which upon discovery brings misunderstood in the public and private sector , it is also given privately.
while gift needs no conditions mentioned above, is never asked as compared to corruption with no specific, nevertheless unexpected by the receiver.
Conclusion: Whenever we want to scrutinize anythings we have to judge with intellectual principles, we are not suppose to see things shallower as it is, We are not suppuse to politicize anything.
useless president and your ministers , God is going to punish u, fiti za anthu u dont even think of your own pple!!!! why giving 50 000 kwacha to journalist! Do u want to silence them? God is there for us.

Wow! Danwood Chirwa! Why such hyperbole?
Seems to me like you are mouthing off just because you have a big hole in your face, man. What section of the constitution can you refer to that allows for your outrageous claims of bribery, technically speaking? Have you run your idea(s) thru some more competent legal minds, I mean minds more competent than yours Vis-a-Vis the Malawi constitution?
One might criticize the president, on policy grounds; but, my goodness, on constitutional grounds? Who were your profs on Constitutional law at Chanco? Perhaps time to revisit your notes.
Finally, if my son was planning to take law at the university you work at, and taking one of your courses, I would first want to find out for sure if they do money back guarantees. That is, guarantees on your courses!
We have a stupid president!!!! Even what comes out of his mouth is not inspiring!!! Tough times ahead for the nation. Now and again I have pointed out that this President is Clueless!!!
Very strange,shocking and sad indeed,first citizen being in fore front,my God, bless malawi!

Come back to Malawi you Chirwa who continues to make noise in Cape Town.Those people who feel offended but had received the money just return it period.Malawians are well known for petty issues.This is not the time to be politicking because you are bitter you lost the elections.Accept the fact and continue with your lives next elections are very far.

IF THAT IS TRUE WHY NOT SUPPORT THE POOR WITH THAT MONEY OR BUY MEDICENES IN THE HOSPITALS,.
We had so much hope for this learned professor that he wuld do things differently. What has happened? He is perpetuating the old bad habits. I know someone must have suggested this nonsense to him but I would have expected him to say pay them for what???? But to my disappoitnment he is just endorsing old habbits. SHAME. wHERE is the hope of change for Malawi??
And Journos what a shame? Like one suggested your colleague need a transplant why not donate this money?
zoonadi utsogoleri opanda nzeru. ndalama zimenezo osakonzera madzi akuvuta mzipatalamu bwanji

THIS IS CORRUPTION AT ITS BEST. APM IS DEMONSTRATING TO US MALAWIANS THE BEST WAY TO SURVIVE. HE KNOWS VERY WELL WHAT THESE SCRIBES WANT!!!!!!!!!!! CHONDE APM MUSADZALANKHULENSO ZA CORRUPTION BECAUSE YOURSELF IS VERTICALLY, HORIZONTALLY AND DIAGNALLY CORRUPT. NO WONDER ALL YOUR MEN AND WOMEN CAN NOT BE PROSECUTED IN A COURT OF LAW. DPP IS IN A CORRUPTION COCOON BUT TIME WILL COME YOU WHEN YOU WILL ACCOUNT FOR ALL THESE
Danwood Chirwa just wants to be famous. If you were a true professor you would come home. Why don’t you talk of the ills that Zuma is doing in using public funds to construct his mansion? You pay your taxes there so you should comment about South Africa. You don’t pay taxes in Malawi and you don’t vote so don’t waste your time on us. Don’t bring confusion you cowards, matchona opanda ntchito. Mukafa kumeneko ndiye muzibwera muzitivuta ife kuno.
Sorry Professor Chirwa, your fellow Professor is here to rule Malawi the whole 5 year term. He aint going to resign nor impeached, Period
How much was the food and entertainment worth? Was that bribery as well? The journalists were being reimbursed for their travel costs, those who did not need reimbursement simply should have given the money back. Stop barking.
I have completely lost faith in all Malawian journalist except the one who had let the bird loose. Money really crucified our beloved Jesus christ the son of the holy GOD.

PETER MUTHALIKA HAS SO FAR DEMONSTRATED THAT HE BELONGS TO THE BAKILI MULUZI CALIBRE.OLD AGE IS MAKING HIM EVEN WORSE.WHAT TYPE OF A LAW PROFESSOR IS PETER WHO CANNOT EVEN APPRECIATE THAT HIS OWN ACTIONS AS HEAD OF STATE ARE TANTAMOUNT TO CORRUPTION!!!!!.IF THE MONEY PAID TO JOURNALISTS WAS MEANT TO BE THEIR PER DIEMS, THEN THE PAYING OFFICE COULD HAVE BEEN THE MINISTRY OF INFORMATION NOT THE PRESIDENTS OFFICE IN THE FORM OF ENVELOPES WITHOUT SIGNATURES. MALAWIANS ARE GOING THROUGH THE WORST ECONOMIC TIMES EVER AND IT IS HURTING THAT THE PRESIDENT IS SEEN TO BE WASTEFUL WITH OUR MEAGRE RESOURCES.WE NEED MORE OF THE PEOPLE LIKE PROFESSOR CHIRWA AT THIS POINT IN TIME.
K50,000 meant for fuel refund since the event to host the media houses and journalists]
was presidential costs to host them to reduce the pain suffered at filling station and tear and wear of the vehicles. I dont think the professor had enough brain to argue the situation in Malawi. He could argued on intent of the presidential events and who should suffer the cost of the event hosted by state house
A Chirwa pali nkhani apa, mulibe ndimanyazi omwe, nsanje basi
Koma ndiye ziriko, ayamba kale kugawa ma blue bans.
Malawi has no president.
Indeed Malawi ilibe president. Water – pangali, electricity – palibe, soft and hard drinks too expensive – security – palibe, theft of money from NAC for tribal and unrelated activities, rampant. nepostism – the order of the day. Govt is failing to contain industrial actions in the face of an ailing economy. When he took over in May the wheels of productivity were moving efficiently and the economy was strong. Within six months the economy has collapsed. When he was in opposition he called Malawi a failed state. Now Malawi is not a failed state, but one whose failures have been compounded by a failed leader
thats normal prof. chirwa. no issue of impeachment here. lets talk about something else brother. is it a bribe when i visit you and give me something like money prof. chirwa? what about visiting the state house? so the president was supposed to let the journalists pay for.themselves a return ticket to blantyre? ndalama mmene ikuvutiramu? how many were they and how much was spent in total prof. chirwa? can you calculate for us? what is k50 000 or k30 000. these days adha? it is our malawian tradition culture kukonzera mlendo kena kake akamabwelera kwao. palibe nkhani apa.
zanuzo mmadya nokha eti? mwayenera. inunso mukazapita kukaonana ndi mtsogoleri wa dziko mtsogolo muno, muzapatsidwa chakudya nsi chakumwa chomwe mmakonda komanso ka fuel adha chirwa, so worry not. ndiye tizapange impeach mtsogoleri wa nthawi imeneyo kaamba ka kamba yemwe muzalandireyo? ayi pali zambiri zomwe tiyenera kukonza mdziko muno limodzi ngati a malawi. so prof. chirwa worry not.
mwadzuka bwanji lero adha chirwa, nanga mowbray iri bwanji. enjoy your snoek adha
Lawakanika boma a Mutharika.. Mxi!
ATLEAST SOMEONE HAS SPILLED THE BEANS ,THIS MEANS WERE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT, THE FIRST STEP IS KNOWING YOUR BEING CORRUPTED AND KUIKA PA OPEN. ZIKOMO AMENE WAULULAYO
KOMA EHHH MPAKA CORRUPTING JOURNALISTS… NDAOPYEDWA
osamamvera chilichonse inu, akunama awa.
Mmesa anapempha kodi. Check The Daily Times of 18th November, 2014. Thom Khanje said ” We want more than a cup of tea Mr. President”. The president being a listening person decided to do just that by giving out envelopes. Was APM wrong?
Atumbuka mukuti Chiyani kodi apa
Useless President Ever is he not practicing cash gate? Where do those money comes from.
Fanzi yinayi kukamba zosatheka. Kungofuna kutchuka basi
ukanabweza ndalamayo popeza ndiwe wachilungamo. As for impeachment, wait and impeach nyika president not APM
Exactly!!! adikile nyika president not APM. Why didnt they impeach JB amagawa agalu mmidzi uja? If there was corruption and our journalists are not corrupted, why didnt they write about it? Ndiwe waPP eti. Nde sunatitu, ulemba utopa. DPP Woyeeee
Is this true, did journalist’s really receive these envelopes? If so, then I’m really disappointed with some of our respected scribes for keeping quiet about it . Raphael Tenthani, Innocent Chitosi, etc, where are your morals? So, you are just like everybody else, eh? Someone once told me that journalists in Malawi are some of the most corrupt people in the country, probably only second to Traffic Police officers . Should some of us begin to believe this now?
ATOLANKHANA MA BANS MWADYAWO SONO MULEMBANSO ZOWONA NGATI. AMALAWI NDALAMA ZIMATIPUTSITSA ZEDI. NONSENU PANALIBE WOKANA????? NGAKHALE A ZODIAK. TADZIWA TSOPANO KUTI PALIBE ATIUZE ZOWONA. A MAKALEKETE THAT IS WHY MUKUWAPANGA ASURE A PRESIDENT ETI, MWADYA CHIBANZI. MULUNGU ATOKUWONANI
Kukhala professor sindiye kuti ukhoza kuyendetsa dziko. munthalika alibe nzeru
Ulibe nzeru ndi iwe nganga!!!! ukanakhala wa nzeru sibwenzi ukuwerenga kapena kumvera zilizonse. Mabodza awa!
Seriously!..I don’t see how I can impeach Mutharika he has never been my president…and his wife is a common thief stealing money for HIV Aids!
okuba ameneyo naye akamafufuza Za anzake aziziwa kuti anatibera ndalama muno,,,
Mr danwood chirwa is it bad for the president to give people allowances of the meeting they have with him?I see no mistake there and no empchiment. Mind way the mulako is organised by the lomwe tribe not the president,and isee when jb was the president the ceremony happened the same,so there’s no breaking the raw.here lets be talking about fedalism, our economy ,bringing back the doners and even our lake not empichment.
Chizungu chavuta2. Mpaka the raw!
If you can’t spell the word “impeachment” you probably shouldn’t be talking about the merits of it.
If you can not see anything wrong in what the executive did, then forget about donors. What a shame a nation whose leadership has no values.
Are you implying what the president did is good? that is unethical and there better things that money could have used for. I am so disappointed.
Who can impeach the President? On what grounds? Chirwa,you must very stupid.
Prof. Chirwa has a point. By definition, to bribe someone is to persuade them to act in one’s favor, by a gift of money or other inducement”. The fact that most of the journalists, even respected ones like Raphael Tenthani, failed to mention this gift of money shows that it worked in APM’s favor. Furthermore, was APM not going on about how journalists should write more positive stories about him? Kudos to Gracian Tukula for spilling the beans.
Danwood Chirwa, u r too vocal cos u live in Kaapstad. U dont experience what we experience here in Malawi, cum back home and say what is to be said. Y didnt the journalists refuse to take the envelopes? The answer is GOD 4 US ALL & EACH ONE 4 HIMSELF.
OHHH MY GOD SO ATOLANKHANI COULD NOT REFUSE TO ACCEPT THE 50 PIN THIS IS A CLEAR INDICATION THAT OUR JOURNALISTS ARE VERY POOR IF THIS WAS OFFERED TO OTHERS I FEEL THEY COULD REJECT IN GODs NAME.
MR PRESIDENT THINK OF OTHERS (PROFFESSIONALS)
So even the Nation newspaper journalists received the envelopes? I mean those who have gone flat out witch-hunting officers with their so-called corruption red card? Can they come out in the open and say what the money was meant for. Its a shame that our respected journalists can be bought with 50,000 Mk. Bravo to Gracian atleast you have come in the open..
Good article, Prof.
Indeed Malawians should begin to hold their leaders accountable for any unethical or poor decisions or actions.
Unfortunately, Malawians are known to accept everything,that’s why the DPP got away with a stolen election.
It is until we start doing something about these leaders right from the religious organizations to govt, we should not expect things to change.
Its frightening to even think that Malawians could even give a few votes to DPP. We accept and forget easily
Is this the reason why the so called Prof. chijere chirwa spoke in praise of the President? He talked rubbish but Kasunda tried to highlight the issues affecting the journalist and the country as the whole.
That is malawian culture kungoitanidwa osamupasa allowance amadandaula kuti inali yauzu mwina bambo chirwa simuziwa momwe zimakhalila kumalawi kuno, vuto ndinunso ntchona muzaziona mukazabwelela kumuzi
Can our opposition parties comment on this?
Mwayambapo Atumbuka, you have seen that federalism call is not taking shape, mwayamba zina, Atumbuka ena akutiwonongera dziko with the gay thing. You people are thorns in the Malawi nation’s fresh. The tricky thing is, you are Malawians and there is no way we can eliminate you. Can someone suggest what we should do with these people otherwise akuononga dziko lathu in our face.
Correction. Professor Chirwa is not a Tumbuka. Please do not show your disdain for Tumbukas like this. The issue has nothing to do with Professor Chirwa’s tribe
Samulani, who told you that Malawi is for the South? These are foolish thinking concepts of rabid bantus. Malawi is for us all and no fool like you will push out Tumbukas to wherever else you are imagining! Don’t create unnecessary tribal conflicts! You sulk! Don’t forget I married your cousin!
How many presidents are you going to impeach? Zamkutuuuuu!!
If the money was pre-determined to be for accommodation and perhaps transportation, where is the bribery? Danwood Chirwa must avoid making wild comments
chizungu mutomva koma hahah welengansoni nkhaniyi
Understand the statement before you comment.
They were paid K30 000 for transport & accomodation, then on top of that, envelopes were also gvn with 50grand in it.
Why fast like ?WE HAVE TO GIVE HIM ATIME YOUR JUST SAYING WHILE YOU IN SOUTH AFRICA ?
Hahahaha, ma journalists a ku Malawi are capable, intelligent and rational. The President invited them in good faith. He even said they are free to criticise him while requesting them to also commend government on a job well done. That is not bribery, journalists are also citizens and they can be invited anywhere.
Too bad indeed. Where is the country heading to? Do the president realise that we r suffering? Is he waiting for Jesus to come and tell him what to do? Listen to what the law expert is saying. U r proving to be a failure baba just step down and stay at home.
It only took 5 months and a half for God to expose him.
To God be the glory.
Anabera masankho koma akulephera kubera kuyendetsa dziko.
Taonani mpaka pano mvula kulibe pamene in our neighbouring countries chimanga abyala ndipo akupalira. God is not happy. We need to pray for His forgiveness, we can not be punished becoz of Peter. Apostle Mbewe mulikuti? Ma Fathers a katolika muli kuti?
CALL FOR PRAYERS FOR RAINS. We need to gather up together and pray or I see famine next year.
Journalism in Malawi is darkened
by a cloud of corruption where
truth is doctored to suit the
political will of the pay masters
with ‘brown envelopes’ running the
show behind the scenes..
Nyasatimes was more trusted koma tiana unalemba kumudzi kuno Thom nditosapola pa ntchombo. They can even be bribed with 2 bottles of kuchekuche
thats the muthalikas malawi is blazed on fire
IN MALAWI WE SEEM TO ACCEPT CASH HANDOUTS AS NORMAL BUT THESE POLITICIANS USE IT AS A TOOL TO GAIN SIMPLE FAVOURS. CAN THE ACB DO SOMETHING. I THINK THIS HEAD IS NOT COMPETENT ENOUGH. WAKE UP MALAWIANS!
Zopusa basi, plophesor amen ER I ndiye utiso, angapange prove zimenezo mpaka kuchosa mfumu pampando Ku Africa kuno?ndakaika.
Bweranitu kuno and do the action yourself. Mukunenela kutali bwanji
Zikukhuzana bwanji ndikusalipidwa kwa maziphunzitsi.Mumafuna atenge ndalama zake kuti akulipileni??? Bad pple.
No case for APM here_bakili gave the rastas envelops to bribe them on matafares death_ joyce gave 50million to BB & nomads. Where were you then?_ kalua is a fool to lament all this. You will die a poor idiot_ DPP woyyeee_foolish crying babies
Long live Prof Peter Wa Muthalika!
Y z our president b masterminded to lead people into this such kind of practice. And the journals mukufuna muzayambe kulemba nkhani zonga zimene a bwana mukazadana nawo? Mukulandila dollar pamene maziphunzisi sakulandila kanthu. Mesa ankati iye samapanga ma handouts sopano awa nchani?
Prof Chirwa, pliz get your hands off from our democratically elected president! Iwe Chirwa uzingolimbana ndi impeachment ya Zuma wanuyo and his Mkandla residence. Zakwathu kuno ku Malawi zisakukhuze ayi. Why barking from far like a mad dog? Pliz leave The Prof Muthalika alone! Give him space to breath! Prof Muthalika is having sleepless nights busy thinking how to put things in order which were heavily messed up by this Lady Mai Joyce Nabanda!
Mpando patsani Chakwera a Malawi ngati mulu funa bata ndizotheka. inuyo a Amalawi mukangoti mwayika Chakwera pamepo basi Malawi akhala watsopano.
chakwera/chatsika zake ndi za mbale amwene! not kuyendetsa dziko.
Nyasa Times journalists who attended the meeting also received blue envelopes. What did they do with the cash?
akanatani nanga poti akudziwa kuti palibe chimene akuchitapo, only way to make himself be known as good leader is to bribe media to be writing good about him. The trueth is that we lacks direction!!!!
Ine sindimagwilizana ndi zoti amzathu achitumbukawa tigawane nawo dzikoli koma kuchokela lero amenewa aime paokha , ndiokonda zokangana basi malawi satukuka ngati anthu awa tikhala nawo limodzi , tiyeni tiavomele azikakangana okhaokha AFORD inatha chifukwa chokangana pano akukangana kuti asogolere fedelism ndani? Ngata awa sitisiyana nawo mpaka yesu abwele tilichonchi sititukukalo pang’ono
By the way Mutharika is not acting president. He is a legitimate president. As i said government should investigate cases of nepotism at law department at chanco. Also go to Reserve Bank, Ministry of finance, ministry of transport, Education division offices and city councils. Bring sanity and remove elements of nepotisms in these departments.
Mvula ikakuona litsiro siikata . The worst is that he is alining himself with another thief Bakili Muluzi. Just call for fresh elections otherwise Malawians will not accept to go for five years under this rigged government.
A bed fellow of Muluzi. Nanga angatani. Nzeru akumatenga kwa Muluzi izi. Utsiru wakeso no journalist returned the bloody money but rather ukasokera mahule pa sportsman bar.
Pitara wayamba udyo. Sitikufunaso STATE FUNERAL. Slow down
iwe amene umazitcha kut ndiwe kaprophy kophuzirira tamulekani PRO wenwen akule chifu,ngat anthu sadakuvoteni mukhaula usova!!!!
Chitsiru cha lawyer. Mtumbuka. A beneficiary of nepotism. Thats why law degree at chanco is patronized by one tribe. Government should also impose quota system for law degree. Pls i beg. Otherwise, this nosense will continue. But is he really a proffessor. But i wonder why is this online media protecting JB to the bone. Did u get a share of cashgate?
13. Jamie. Inutu nzeru zakucheperani. The fact that cashgate was a total mess doesnt mean that the practice of bribing journalists is justifiable. The so called law prof. has just stated the obvious though it doesnt look obvious to you. Lets stop this mediocrity.
Jamie ndiwe chedebe choukha. Prof ameneyu walemba zoona kungoti iweyo utsiru unakulowa zedi that’s why ngakhale wina atanyera ndowe iwe utha kudya. Nkhani ili apa ndi yoononga ndalama. Already ma donors akukana kupereka ndalama chifukwa chodana ndi katangale nde iwe ukusapota mbava waganiza bwa? Kumangosapota mchimbulimbuli? Impeach him basiwatikwana
Zopusa basi iwe Chirwa ukungofuna kuchedwetsa a Malawi ndi uchitsiru. Maiko azathu akutukuka ndi chichifukwa unathawira SA. Kodi iweyo tax yako ukupereka kuti pamene ukufuna kuti tizichedwa ndizopusazo. Zomwe ukuganizazo sizingatheke ndizochedwetsa dziko. Ungobwera kuno 2019 udzapikisane nao ngati ungadzawine basi

There are educated people who are making noise in the media for sake of being recognised that they are learned and therefore can pick the grain between the chaff.
Such utterances as Danwood Chirwa’s are commonplace and typical of people who are academically arrogant and attention seekers.
Other academic noise makers are Kanyongolo, Chingaipe, Mtambo.
If Danwood went to school to benefit the country, why not just go to court and start the impeachment?
Otherwise these are utterances of attention seekers. Noise makers and people who think being educated knows everything.
Why not do like Kapito does?? Walk your talk. Do not get constipated with your academic theories.
don’t attack personalities. just argue on what has been said if you are against it. bring your own facts to the matter and prove someone wrong. from the look, you are just bitter with learned professors. for your sake, read on impeachment procedures in Malawi and you cant call someone to come and do it for you as an individual. Wake up
Masoapatali,
You are deliberately missing my point because you hate being told the truth.
Such nonsense as what Mtambo is spewing is just a waste of time. If he is a law expert, why does he not start the proceedings to impeach Mutharika if at all what he says hold any water??
Such theories are only poisoning people’s minds and not helping the country at all. If Danwood Chirwa has balls and believes in what he says and if he is indeed a law expert, let him start the impeachment. Am sure there will be a lot of well wishers to help his good cause.
The man is enlighting you and you are rubbishing him.Because you are benefiting from these corrupt practices!Muthafukaz!
There are times when these learned people contribute to an issue with valid arguments; this time Chirwa has goofed big time. It is a shame.
A Masoambeta, what a meeky name you are bearing and very contrarry to your thinking. Before you give your comments on such issues, consider yourself really in the know how. Do you encourage the corrupt practices being done by these corrupt people? Why should they give handouts to our newsmen at a time when they claim that Gvt has no money? Definitely that was a big “temptation” that any mortal could have refused when you very know that your is perishing at home with hunger. Is this practicing “zero tolerance corruption” being sung at podiums? Malawians should learn to walk the talk. Is it any different from Lutepo saga, NAC and Mlako accusations? Wise up man! before you give your comments here!!
A masoambeta where in the world have you ever seen,heard or even witnessed a single man seeking impeachment of a President on his own in the court…can’t u think of the kind of chaos that would bring??? The Professor here is laying out some issues that the President has goofed big time and had it been in other countries he was definitely getting impeached,the professor has laid out issues into the opening and now its time for our law makers if they got the balls to take up the issue and deal with it….what the President has committed here is a very serious crime a more serious crime deserving Impeachment than the “Lewinsky Scandal” Bill Clinton of USA almost got himself impeached for…this country will never move forward since most of us the exact kind of thinking we love to suffer in silence and let the politicians take us on any kind of ride we want…cowardice runs in all of us….the minute or second we shall put our politicians and leaders to task over such kind of issues we shall have a new Malawi ready for meaningful development…but at the moment I don’t see it in our generation,our childrens generation nor their childrens children…..
Malawi when you dont get paid you talk too much when you get paid you talk too much what do you want?
Eeee ma jorno ndiye kuti those from outside Bt pocketed a cool 80 pini
I Thought that was their perdiem?
Ada Professor Chirwa zoti ine ndibweza K50000 ndiye sizitheka koma inuyo limbikilani za impeachment!
Ka “law expert” akanso ndiye kalibe zochitatu!
Zitsilu inu mmafuna azingikuyang’anani mukulephela kuyendetsa dziko? Tikuwonelani mulungu akukukanthani posachedwapa
Rather than making an issue out of this do the right thing and donate to the many organisations looking after orphans in Malawi or better still assist your fellow journalist Moya
