Bikoko being welcomed in DPP
 Bikoko said he has joined DPP as an individual and that not as a Mayor.
The Mayor said he will make sure that he serves the party well till it wins in 2019.
“I am a development conscious and it is unfortunate that whatever we have been planning have never materialised due to obvious reasons,” Said Bikoko.
Bikoko said his ten point plans will now be easy to implement since he is working with government.
“My joining to DPP shows I always put country first politics second,” said Bikoko.
Bikoko urged Malawians to love their country.
During the function which DPP organised , at the Golden Peacock Hotel, former Minister of Justice Fahad Assan and members of Depeco also joined the DPP.
In his speech , Assan assured DPP secretary General , Gelseder Jeffrey Wa Jeffrey that he will not compete with her during the forth coming elections.
Welcomimg the new members , Central Region Vice President, Hertherwick Ntaba commended Bikoko for choosing the right path of working with Government.
Ntaba advised the new members to avoid back biting within the party.

  2. Not surprised.The guy is behind land wrangles involving Bottom Hospital and Simama.He bull dozed papers be awarded to Simama. So too has tax invasion issues with MRA and govt gave him an option to face the law or realign himself with DPP to avoid the wrath of the law.

  6. Aise Bikoko we kno the reasons for ur defection. U have been involved in so many fraudulent activities and u are owing MRA over 15million in taxi evasion so u think the best way to escape this is to join dirty dpp which has become a safe home for fraudsters, thieves and thugs. No wonder Uladi Mussa who is answering charges relating to aiding or facilitating issuing of malawian passports to foreigners is contemplating to rejoining the thieves club. U should kno that MCP ikatenga boma 2019 ino all these will haunt u. Mark my words. Ask Reuben Ngwenya I forewarned him not to plant chigayo coz sangawine koma sanamvere. Lero ali kuti?

  7. What is the working definition of Government? We seem to be misguided by mixing ruling party and government. Government includes opposition and all development is done by Parliament do not hide personal agendas behind terms such as government

  8. Bike koma educated savage ask mtaba how many times has he tried to be an MP for his area but all to no avail 2019 wina adzadzimangilira Bikoko Bikoko how many times have I called u? You ask Gwengwe 2019 palibe zobera. Inu a Kalirani ndi a Mtaba mukanawina ma by election onse mukanativuta mpakana kuononga ndalama za account number 1 kubuilt malo aaaaaaa nwadza zomwezi

  9. MCP was frustrating the guy that he should not develop the city in the administration of DPP. Bikoko looked at this idea as very stupid and unhelpful to the community. The people who voted for him will be asking for what he has done in the next campaign. What will he point at if Chakwera is barring him from working with DPP admin? If Chalamanda was MCP he would not achieve anything in the city of BT because Chakwera would not allow him to work with govt. Yes, MCP councilors and members made him mayor for a purpose but unfortunately the members themselves forgot that purpose that is why he want to do it without them. After all, the members have no financial powers to support Bikoko. Does Chakwera have the money for chitukuko? Let him finance his councilors and develop Lilongwe. Thumba liri ku Boma under DPP Administration wosati Chakwera ayi. If you want bibles okay, go to him. You call him kadziwotche yet the guy wants to develop your own city? Accept my sympathy you blind followers!!!

    1. Santana! You have a rotten head, you think in upsidedown way, how can mcp frustrate your Bikoko! The truth of the matter is that Bikoko has accumulated heavy MRA debts not rubbishes you are talking. Why dont you shutup your dirty mouth since cashgate has swallowed you? Nature will deal with you for sure because you always run away from the truth to appease your evil masters

    3. nanunso asantana ndale zanu zanyansi kwambiri? Do you have evidence to what you are saying? If he is gone into government, who was he close to? Awansooooooooooooooooooo!! Ambuyanuwo akugona nyumba yomanga bola la chipani chiti? Capital Hill buildings za chipani chiti?

      All this will better be concluded in 2019, and I pray God should take us thru to there!! Mr Malefula District Chairperson for Zomba (MCP) was as pompous as you are and ended up hanging himself chifukwa chokonda chipani mochita nazo khungu, kulephera ndi kuona zina zoofooka zomwe chipani chikuchita!!

      And your overzealousness shows that you seem to have borrowed a leaf from him………………………………!!

  11. Fahad Asani. God forbid. The guy is finished. Recently he was evicted from his rented house in Lilongwe. He went to Maula prison to plead with a convict that is awaiting trial (and a friend to him) to ask him that his wife and kids move and co-habit in the convict’s house (name withheld).

    But the wife of the convict refused to allow Fahad move his family into the house of the convict. This forced Fahad to relocate his family to the village. This is true story. those who doubt my story please find out. Now if Fahad who was once a Director of Public Prosecutions could not even sustain feeding his own family recently, how do we expect such a huy to even have solutions for the poor masses. DPP I think yabalalikano if this is the indicator of building chipani

  14. Bikoko go well, but that’s your fall, komaso a Speaker chonde gwilitsani ntchito section 65 kwa munthu aliyese Ochoka kuchipani chake kupita kuchipani china

  15. I have very high expectations for this guy. I thought he could match Chalamanda on development initiatives but alas i was in wonderland!!

  17. Here is my understanding. The mayor has plans which Government was frustrating because he was from the opposition MCP. Now that he is in a governing party his plans will be realised. After All Government has control over all financial fountains etc. Hmmmmm! Play it safe my my brother!

  18. THIS IS JUST THE BEGINING, 2018 IS COMING FOR ALOT OF PEOPLE WIL JOIN US. BREAVE ME OR NOT BUT 2019 DPP BOMA!!!! LAZALO WILL NEVER RULE MALAWI, MWINA KAPENA MUTAYESA WINA KOMA OTHAWA UTUMIKIYU NDIYE AYI.

      3. Kaitano ingomusiya chagomelana uyu!! Ndi professor wa sukulu ya kwacha ameneyu! Ameneyu ndi m’modzi wa gulu la nick!! Angakhale utamuuza kuti Breave [believe] zangabve chimene ukutanthauza………!! kikikikikikikikikikikikik……………………..!!

        Remember birds of the same feathers flock together………..!! Kuli ma professor tu kumeneku……………..!! Bikoko kuteloko akufunanso u proffesor………….!!

        1. School za lero zimenezi. samawadziwa ma SILETI kikkkkkk timalemba pansi ife osati za lerozi, timatenga chimanga chokazinga m,mbotolo la Kazinga lamakona atatu.

    2. JOSEPH CHAGOMERA !!!
      IWE NDIYE MBULITU ! BWANJI OSANGOLEMBA MUCHILANKHULO CHA MAYI AKO ? ” BREAVE ME ” NDIYE KUTI CHIYANI ?
      OLO MWANA WANGA WAMUSEKETSA KWAMBILI

  19. Do you know that its MCP members who voted you counsellor, and same MCP counsellors made you mayor? Now you chose to betray them joining a Kleptocracy.

    Thats the end of your political career traitor

  20. While we agree that politics is a game of numbers. It is performance that influence the numbers. If Bikoko was as good as Chalamanda his defection would have been a big blow to MCP.As it is I am sure that those who followed his performance will agree that he was an embarrassment to MCP Go in peace Mr Bikoko. You are such a pleasant person but very incompetent.

  23. This young man…….. Why ending his political career so early? Does he know what he is getting himself into?

  24. People of my generation may remember President Kenneth Kaunda’s book: ‘The High Price of Principles’, published in 1973. Zambia did pay a high price for its principled stand against racist South Africa. Now that Bikoko has sold his political birth-right for ‘a mess of pottage’, we can also see that political principles can be bought for a very low price.

  25. Come 2019, he will miserably fail the elections……MCP will be the order of the DAY… Defected at the wrong time and joining the wrong party…
