Malawi Catholic bishops reject K50,000 cash handout from State House: Talk tough on gays

January 10, 2016 Wanga Gwede- Nyasa Times 137 Comments

Catholic Bishops in Malawi who met President Peter Mutharika at State House last Friday rejected cash handouts of K50,000 and asked the President to channel the money to hospitals where  patients are now only getting one meal a day.

The Catholic bishops went to Kamuzu Palace to formally formally introduce to President the newly-appointed Bishop-elect for Zomba Diocese, the Very Reverend Father George Tambala.

The delegation, which came under the identification of Episcopal Conference of Malawi (ECM), was led by Archbishop Thomas Msusa of the Archdiocese of Blantyre, who is also chairperson of the ECM also held closed-door discussions with Mutharika.

Later, State House officials gave each of the bishop a an envelope each which had K50,000 inside.

But Nyasa Times sources in the ECM said the bishops did not want to take money.

ArchibishopMussa thanked the President for the gift but said,” Your Excellency, we sincerely thank you for being such a kind leader, we have appreciated your gift but will leave the money here. If possible Your Excellency do us a favour of donating these money to any of the hospitals were patients are missing their  meals.”

His Grace Msusa, who is the head of the church in the country , and who led a five-member delegation, told news reporters that the closed-door discussions were cordial and in-depth.

He said the five-members delegation of the Catholic bishops told President Mutharika to “resist pressure” over the controversial issue of homosexuality rights by following constitutional guidelines in running the country.

“We were candid with the President, to say that these controversies and undue pressure on gay rights [Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender intersex matters] are alien to most Malawians and are being championed by foreigners.

“As the Catholic Church, we say ‘no’ to supporting these gay activities and we will follow strictly our church doctrine,” Msusa stated.

The head of Catholic church in Malawi disclosed that the bishops told President Mutharika “not to be swayed” on the gay rights campaign “but to follow what the Malawi Constitution says.”

Anyone convicted under Malawi’s anti-gay laws, some of the toughest in the world, can get up to 14 years in jail with hard labor.

Justice Minister Samuel Tembenu said recently the laws will be reviewed.

He said Malawi government has imposed a moratorium on anti-homosexual laws pending a decision on whether to repeal the legislation.

The Catholic Church calls LGBTI practices un-Godly and recommends that such people be conscientised, counselled and be guided to repent from their practices that run counter to the teachings of the Bible.

While expressing profound gratitude for the appointment of Father Tambala, President Mutharika noted how crucial the church has been to the country’s social fabric for many decades and how best it can continue to champion such a cause.

“May you accept our gratitude for everything that the Catholic Church is doing in support of my government’s development programs. Your provision of education, health, food security and other services are appreciated,” said Mutharika.

He assured the Bishop-elect of unceasing support from him as an individual and his government in all the activities and programs of the Zomba Diocese.

“When people have faith in God, they [ultimately] have faith in themselves. Allow me, therefore…, to tell Malawians to believe in themselves and in their capabilities. If they believe in themselves, they work hard, they will be patriotic and they will be contributing (to development) and in the end, it will be Mother Malawi that will progress,” said Mutharika.

Bishop-elect Father Tambala, who was appointed Bishop by Pope Francis in October 2015, was born on November 18, 1968 in Zomba.

Presidential spokesman Gerald Viola  did not respond to a request for comment on the cash handout to the men of the collar.

  1. It was a gift, even in the village we give visitors a chicken or farm produces,that’s not strange. The bishops could just raise the food shortage issue separately to the president. That’s why l like kamuzu, he had no time for pipo like them than inspecting his pipo’a fields though some tried to abuse the tours! As president travel less, be in office and few visitors becaz your are busy with office work. Ask mama the life style of kamuzu! Introduce youth league l want to be the chairman kkkkkkk

  3. Navigator how people going to benefit and how povegoing to finish if president is giviney to the bishops? Did you see Kamuzu giving money? There were no hunger during Kamuzu. No corruption in the range of billions. How are the bishops going to end poverty with 50 ? Are u so ignorant?

  4. Very shameful to do that. Does Peter think he can buy everyone? Bribe is Corruption. And he the president is promoting Corruption. A man of Law, educated lived and teach law i. USA can do this. Now Malawians should know what Peter is. This man has brought so much rubbish into our country. I am sure its is his advisers. Those royality advise are ignorant. What was the money
    For? Someone so stupid has written the president has right to give and priests should not refused. I what to tell you President is nt God. He is elected by you and other people. Priests are men of God. Not thieves. So sad that there are people like you who think presidents have all thr rights. May be u need to go to school. This is why person like Peter use you. Because he knows how ignorance some Malawians are. This country will never change with people who have such mind set.

  5. kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk ma Bishop andisangalatsa pokana ziphuphu. Koma ndikuganiza kuti anakana poti zinali zochepa, nanga ka K50,000.00 kokha? Nchifukwa anati mukapereke ku chipatala. Nanga poti analipo ma bishop 5 tinene kuti K250,000 ingathandize chakudya chokwana bwanji pothana ndi vuto lakusowa kwa chakudya muzipatala? Komanso chinanchina, apa a president manyazi anawagwiratu.

  7. Gulu limene linayambitsa ndipo lomwe limachita za u gay kwambiri ndi akatolika omwewa. amagona tianyamata tija tothandizila misa tija apapa catholic ndi njoka mu udzu. Akufuna kuonetsera dziko that they are innocent yet ndi njoka mu udzu zimenezi ndiyeno popeza mu katolika( I mean catholic members) ndi mbuli pa Mau a Bukhu lopatulika, ndilo mau a Mulungu, akuchita congratulate ma bishop awo sakudziwa the aim behind all this. Akatolika ndi atumiki a Lucifer

  8. hmmmm!koma ndalama zikuseweresedwa.nanga kokaonetsa nkhope konko kukafupidwa?asaaa!mwationjeza

  9. We might as well amend the National Anthem by removing the name of GOD All faith denominations in Malawi, i.e. Christian, Moslem, etc doctrines prohibit homosexuality according to GOD’s command. How then can we ask GOD to bless our country in the National Anthem and then do unGODLY things.

  12. The individual cash gifts to each member of the delegation of Catholic Bishops by the President was ill-advised and irregular. It smarked of bribes to sway the Bishop away from their anti-gay stance. That was a very unfortunate act on the part of the President.

    What would a cash gift be for? Thanking each member of the delegation for coming to talk to the President? If the President wanted to support some activity carried out by the Catholic Church, why not hold a Press Conference and make the donation publicly to a specific project and explain why.

    This precedent is worrisome. How about other churches that may seek an ordience with the Head of State? Will they also be offered P50 000 on an individual basis as delegates selected to go and discuss matter of public interest on behalf of their churches?

    The bishops are to be applauded for refusing to accept a vailed bribe. What is more, they showed a high moral standard by expressing concern and need to support the sick. That is God’s work here on earth. This is moral courage and rectitude as well as selflessness and concern for others.

  14. Malawians, always barking on about imaginary controversies and gossip. Critical of everything for the sake of it. We surely are a shameful and backward lot.

  19. amawuluranso za ku closed door? hehehehede? nde masanjetu. Ndalama mukanatenga ndikukapereka ku Chipatala inuyo, a APM nkungowadziwitsa kuti mwatero. Mphatso ya akulu sakana choncho.

  20. Utitiri wanene zomveka. Kukana ndalama kumachita kuti anakapembako ndalama. Bwana musathandize budget yaoyo, akagwere uko! Akufuna kupusisa ndani. Double edged sword.. Ziri ngati kunena kuti ndidya nyama yokhayo koma nsuzi ai ndi haramu. Pamenepa game sanaisewere bwino.

  23. Very Interesting!! I thought The Best thing that the Bishops were Supposed to do, was to take the money & donate to the Hospital of their choice, I mean if they really know the problems in Public hospitals and they care about that!!!!

  24. By sitting around the table, he thinks that is what working means, roll your sleeves bwana, wear some boots and go and lead from the front, building roads, hospitals etc, we are not a developing country that you should be sitting in a room like that as if you are leader of a developed country.

  25. I don’t really understand why this issue has been blown out like this. The Bishops went to introduce the Zomba Bishop elect, they also gave a budget for the Zomba Bishop elects activities so that the President should donate towards the Bishop Elect Activities. If they refused the K50000 allowances then they should not also accept the President’s contribution towards the activities as this money will also come from taxpayers!

  26. Why do the Catholic Bishops trek to Kamuzu palace every quarter? The Bishops’ too frequent visits only tempti this already corrupt president. Easy Bishops, easy!

    1. Leviticus 18 vs 22 . Usagone ndi mamuna ngati mkazi. Choopsa chimenechi. Mu ufumu wa Yehova ndalama siinunkha kanthu. Ngati mufuna mvula kondweretsani Yehova. Masalimo 37 vs 4 ,dzikondweretseninso mwana Yehova ndipo adzakupatsani zokhumba mtima wanu.

  28. Demonic & diabolic elements plus evil forces hiden behind “Human Rights”.It’s now becoming “Demon Rights” cause gay is sth inhuman.You so-called Human Rights Organisation plus activists promoting this,do it in your offices but not distracting God-fearing Malawians. Even you Mr President why not just terminate all this useless,senseless & stupid havoc like your fellow did in Kenya-The wise & bold president himself, what are you afraid of????!!!!!!

  29. How low can APM go? This is a clear sign that DPP is rotten from top to bottom. How can you fight corruption if you, as a leader, indulge in corrupt practices.Why are you trying to bribe the bishops, of all the people.
    Zochititsa manyaziiiiiiiiiiiiii.

  59. Mbendera and your corrupt useless team at the electoral commission how do you feel when you hear that? Don’t you think these men of collars are more patriotic than you morons?

  60. HOMOSEXUALITY IN MALAWI: The subject of legalising homosexuality was fair to be raised to the Leader of the country as a matter of courtesy and cognitive point, but not that he has jurisdiction over. Its a citizenry plebiscite subject. A moot subject for any politician, no matter how high ranking. They don’t shape and determine the subjects’ latitudes and philosophies on issues of religious, cultural, and legendary nature. Instead, should turn them to us, for determination. No leader is above the will and wish of the people they guide. Note, guide, not rule. And guide within the confines of powers given to them, not given to themselves. They are not Lords, but Servants of the People. Principle of Popular Sovereignty and Vox populi recognition.

  61. Aja Ena anapitanso a CCAP sanathyolere mthumba kumeneku. Ndakaika chifukwa anangoti chete pa za gift. Chilongosoko woyeeeeeeee

  62. Igwileni ntchito yanu ya Chauta ma Bishop.osalola kugulitsa anthu aMulungu. Ambuye akhale nanu zikomo

  64. I request as a Malawian that anyone who goes to the state house should not be given money! its meaningless, its inappropriate and its a bad habit! It should stop forth with! please Mr president stop this practice. Bishops thank you for directing this properlyI hope it stops immediately.

  65. MK50,000 translates to £50.00. Yet they want to pay Times magazine £295,000 for positive news.
    No medicine in hospitals.

  66. AM REMINDED OF 1992 THE CATHOLIC BISHOP MADE THE MOST MEMORABLE DECISION WHEN THEY CONFRONTED THE LEADERSHIP THEN. THESE GUYS HAVE BEEN VERY CONSISTENT THROUGHOUT IN THEIR STYLE OF LEADERSHIP. THEY DONT ACCEPT POSITIONS IN BOARDS ETC. AND IN THIS MEETING THEY DIRECTED THE PRESIDENT ON WHERE TO CHANNEL THE BRIBES.

    I HOPE OTHER RELIGIOUS LEADERS WILL LEARN A LOT FROM THE BISHOPS.

  67. Hypocrites par excellence! You, Bishop had no problems with a pope ( benedict) who shielded paedophilic priests who sodomising thousands of choir boys in the 80s!

  68. The spirit of handouts will never die!! Politics stinks, and politicians feel,untouchable! No wonder every President in Malawi thinks he or she can use taxpayers money according to his or her whims! Amangwetu , why give envelopes to people for visiting our leader???
    Bravo Bishops for teaching APM and the state house a lesson!

  69. For how long will government continue abusing taxpayers money to try and buy people off? I salute you bishops for refusing that money. I salute you for taking a clear stand on the the gay issue and telling it like it is to the president. How I wish moderators from my own church (CCAP) would do likewise and take their clerics and deliver the same message so that the church should stand with one voice on this evil (gayism), maybe the authorities that be would get the message! But hey, they are busy being politically compromised! Enough said!

  70. Kkkkkkkkkkk asembe anthu ozindikila heveeee anakakhala achina awa a bznz bwezi adakhala duuuu pa nkhani imeneyi kkkkkkkk wachimina pitala kufuna kupanga chiphuphu asembe.

  76. GIVING MONEY TO PEOPLE WHO DO NOT NEED SINCE THEY EARN A BETTER REMUNERATION THIER CHURCH. APM USED TO CORRUPT PEOPLE LIKE HIS LATE BROTHER TO GAIN FAVOURS.

  77. Good job Bishops for saying no to corruption. This is what we are advocating in Malawi. Do love money too much and lose your intengrity because of K50,000.
    sHAME ON THOSE WHO THOUGHT MONEY CAN BUY THE BISHOPS. LET THIS BE A LEESON TO BISHOP MALASA OF ANGLICAN. HE IS VERY CORRUPT LIKE MULUZU AND JOYCE BANDA.

  78. mabishop mwaitha ntchito yamulungu

    chillungamo ,amachidziwa bwino koma dala ndithu

  79. I am opposed to gay conduct . Actually I prefer polygamy. However I am for individual freedoms. I dont like extreme Moslems seeking to impose their beliefs on everyone. Likewise I dont support Christian zealots seeking to impose their christian beliefs on everyone christian or nonchristian. I agree that church can expel gays from their churches but Government laws are to protect everyone christian or non christian including gays.

  83. There is a different between Churches like Carholic,Anglican and CCP. Compared to these new self enriching like Bushiri and all those Ndovis. They created churches to enrich themselves. Men of God dont make themselves rich. Look at the old churches priests. Onthese thieves Bushiri , Ndovi and the whole bunch Aleluya churches. Do u think
    Bushiri could have said NO?

  84. This should be a lesson to our President Mutharika that there are more to attend to as leader in the country than hand outs. Think of the money you are everyday spending and yet patients are dying due to shortage or non availability of food. Your can cabinet should also learn a lesson from Catholic leaders,Cabinet ministers are some of the unacceptable spendors of our taxes (money), think of how minister of trade spends money on unnecessary foreign trips every month. Hope the PSs will also learn a lesson from our bishops, Chief Secretary stop abusing our taxes please, you spend over MK3,000,000.00 per month only on your one mobile number yet our people are dying in hospitals. Civil servants take a lesson of unnecessary to leave duty allowances. our corporate world/private sector take a lesson too, you make a lot of profits but you can’t even support a health centre with sugar, you make a lot of profits yet you can’t build a toilet for your customers at your bank. Malawi as a nation let’s take this gesture by Bishops as a big and right way of doing things for the betterment of our country

  85. Now it shows how corrupted the DDP is. What is the meaning of giving priest money in envelope. It is the same thi g they did with the jpurnalist. How can educated president allow this? Well he has lived in USA. It is not a surprise. He talks to deal with those who are corrupted but what is he himself doing? It is an insult to priest especially Catholics. He should be ashamed and not trusted. Thank Catholic priests. If so many in Malawi could refuse to be bribed. Malawi is going to be corruption free. Now it tells us that APM bought votes. He bribed Zodiak, bribed Chilima, He bribed Mbendera and the whole shit team. God punish those who steal. Look he can nt get budget support. Thank u donors. As a leader he should not do that. He is behaving like un educated. Shit education of these old michonas.

  88. This are true leaders.they think not only for themselves but for the needy.Africa need men like this. If the President invited this men more often for advise he will “WIN” more support and the poorest of the poor will benefit alot and poverty will be eradicated.Welldone men of collar.

  91. How did you see that the envelops contain 50,000MK? Which bishop opened the envelope? Which bishop told the president to channel the money to the sick? Which bishop told you that they were given 50000MK? This story is a cooked one, just to bring confusion. To what extent will you dent the president? Why do you waste time cooking stories for nothing tangible? Stupid.

  93. This clearly shows what a corrupt, moral less regime we have. They always feel like they can buy themselves out of every situation. Sad!!! All this is happening under the Presidents watch. Can’t they do anything right!!! Some people say that money is the root of all evil but I disagree. It’s power and pride that are root to all evil.

  94. lol,,,thax catholic fathers chifukwa chachiphunzitso choterechi,,pamenepo munaonetsa kuti ndinudi anthu okhala ”m’chikondi cha Khristu Yesu”ponena mosabisa kuti ndalama imeneyo ipite kuchipatala komwe ma pantients akukhala ndi meal kamodzi kapenanso osadya kumene,tikuyamikeni chifukwa chaganizo lotereri,koma kodi ndalamayi idaperekedwa komwe munayerekeza kunenako,kapena mafuko a Gehazi anapindira m’thumba?????

  95. gongoni says
    APM sali serious kutumikira dziko la malawi, wazolowera ndi ma 50000 akewo, zingamusautse alekeretu, ma bishop mwaitha kuno gay tipha basi.

  97. May Sheiks also arrange to have an audience with the president in reaction to gays rights in Malawi? Later, may all religious leaders much against this stupid and indecisive government and press for a referendum before hell breaks loose for these stinking demons and all their messengers in the name of Civil societies. God Bless Mlalawi. Rid us of these demons called gays.

Mmesa mukuti ndalama kulibe, ndiye handout imeneyi munaitenga kuti? U professor munaupeza bwanji koma? Kulephera kuganiza ndi za obvious zomwe.mxiiiii

  113. Akulu….Mk250,000 to the hospitals..good koma yachepa…may be you refused coz it was a small amount. What if he gave you 1 mitta each??

  114. Mk50, 0000.00 kwa Bishop ndi villageheadman chani? How can the whole statehouse consider giving 50000 to a bishop. Of course am not happy with the offer but that’s not fair. Bravo to the bishop for teaching these satanic leaders

  115. Uyo Pitala Muthalika wagwa nayo! Akukanira ndalama zako M’maso muli biii! Mai wanga Eklezia katolika siosewera naye, Ukunama iwe, To hell with your handout, Malawi constitution its straight forward on Gay issue, Manyazi bwa? Uyoooooo!

  116. Wamva iwe pitala ndi boma lako ladyeralo,, a Malawi ndi anthu wokhulupirira, kutsatira, ndi kuopa malamulo omwe Mulungu anakhazikitsa pakati pathu.

Bwanji pamenepo, si zamanyazi anakunanira? Bwinotu , ameneo ndiye anthu wokhulupirira mwa ‘YAWE’

  117. Was that not an executive corruption of the highest degree by the president? Whose money was that? Peter’s or government’s? I will leave it to you people to judge.

  119. Plz snzathu aku state house, taphunzirani not to give money handouts mukalandira alendo
    it’s not everyone who wants money but weigh the present situation. Use ur brains mukundichititsa manyazi. I feel sorry for u. Wakeup and start doing things normally. You may have good motive but the timing is wrong. Plz start thinking

  120. Thanks Mr President For the giving spirit but catholic bishops are beyond that, you should have known that by now. Do that to pastors,prophets,sheikhs etc but not the catholic bishops. Proud of u my devine scholars.

  122. Atsogoleri onse amipingo inayi akanamapanga momwe apangila anzaowa bwenzi Dziko likuyenda bwino bwanji?…

  123. Ndizoona kuti Mau a Mulungu akutsutsa za ma gay, homosexual ndi zinazo. Koma zophedwa ayi koma kuthandizidwa. Tiombere m’manja ma Catholic Bishop.

  124. Ma pastor a chi pente kukonda dosh akazi ndi
    kuvina dombolo mu church….take a note what
    Catholic Bishops have done here.Pente stop
    kumagwila mawele ndi ntchafu azimayi.

  126. keep it up Catholic Bishops, thinking about people who are in hospitals that they are lacking something its not a simple thing. One malawi

  128. To say this government is in for reform is glaring hypocrisy. Reform is not only physical restructuring of the civil service but also the mind set.
