Malawi CSOs ask President Mutharika to resign over governance and economic concerns
Some active Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), activists and human rights defenders in Malawi have asked President Peter Mutharika to honourably consider resigning if he keeps on failing Malawians, accusing his administration of lacking vision and leadership in steering the nation from the brink of collapse.
The CSOs’ who addressed a news conference in Lilongwe argue that the sad state of the country’s democratic and economic governance, water as well as electricity crisis, attest to the Mutharika failure.
“Of late, we have witnessed with alarm large-scale challenges such as water and electricity crisis, ills in the education and health sectors and a cloud of uncertainty over the Farm Input Subsidy Program [Fisp] in the agriculture sector.
“We have also seen a country fast receding into an old-age political and economic malaise: A country where pursuit of corrupt cases alias Cashgate is highly skewed towards offering immunity to those in power while coming the hardest on the weak,” CHRR’s director Timothy Mtambo read the statement signed by the CSO’s and activists.
The CSOs include Centre for Human Rights and Rehabilitation (CHRR), Human Rights Defenders Forum, Centre for the Development of People (Cedep), Civil and Political Space Platform as well as human rights activists Martha Kwataine and Billy Mayaya.
Others are Charles Kajoloweka of Youth and Governance Activist, Robert Mkwezalamba of Human Rights Consultative Committee (HRCC), Moses Mkandawire of Civic and Political Space, Kiko Mapunda of Centre for Governance and Public Participation, Benedicto Kondowe of Human Rights Defenders Forum, Bright Kampaundi of Forum for National Development, Desmond Mhango of CEYCA, and Macdonald Sembereka of MANERELA .
The CSOs also argue that Mutharika is compromising interests of the general public “to serve vain, selfish and partisan interests” and observed signs of leadership crisis and arrogance in President Mutharika.
“Many Malawians are enduring the effects of poor governance under the current administration, yet the President has chosen to plunder hard earned taxpayers’ money with an air of unbridled entitlement. This is an insult of the highest order, and not befitting the high office of the land,” the CSOs charge.
“We, however, feel the President is honourable enough to consider stepping down if he keeps failing Malawians. And I repeat: the President is honourable enough to consider stepping down if he keeps failing Malawians,” said a visibly fearless Trapence
During a news conference on his trip to the United Nations General Assembly (Unga) last week, Mutharika said he was already a millionaire when he returned to Malawi from the United States of America (USA), further declaring that he can do without taxpayers’ money.
“You can check my [bank] account in New York,” stressed Mutharika, who had lived and worked in the USA for roughly 40 years before returning to his homeland in 2007.
The CSOs noted that the remarks by ‘super rich’ Mutharika are demeaning.
“We believe that Malawians do not need to be told whether the President was a millionaire before joining the race for presidency for they exactly know the truth, and have vivid answers in their hearts. This mockery must stop!”
“His spirited and emotional defence and explanation of what transpired is unsatisfactory and a mockery to the citizenry. As an elected leader, the President has continued to show lack of leadership in steering the nation from the brink of collapse. He is failing to provide a vision of what Malawi can become and a mission of which direction the country has to go in order to reverse it from the current state.
“ Many Malawians are enduring the effects of poor governance under the current administration, yet the President has chosen to plunder hard earned taxpayers’ money with an air of unbridled entitlement” reads part of CSO’s statement.
HRCC chairperson Robert Mkwezalamba said it was disturbing to note that some government officials lied that some activists were sponsored by some international organisations to be part of the President’s bloated entourage when in actual sense such activists were within the country, and didn’t travel as alleged.
Mkwezalamba described this as unfortunate and blamed the President’s advisors for misleading him.
On Public Service Reforms, the CSOs argue gains being made are only on paper and nothing substantive is being achieved on the ground, further branding the programme “a window-dressing exercise aimed at gaining cheap political mileage”.
“The mere fact that the establishment and functions of the Public Reform Programme Commission by-passed parliamentary approval calls the legality and legitimacy of the body itself into serious question,” they claim.
On his part, vocal youth and governance activist Charles Kajoloweka noted that Malawi was being led by a frustrated and angry President.
“It is dangerous to be led by a frustrated and angry President. Should he really be allowed to continue failing Malawians at such a critical time like this when we all need transformative leadership to bail us out of this catastrophe? It’s unfortunate that we have a leader who is clueless.” said the outspoken Kajoloweka.
Mtambo of CHRR observed a “myriad of persistent leadership challenges stagnating the progress of this country and further, eroding the public trust in the current administration”.
He cited high cost of living and ailing economy, dwindling service delivery peppered with empty talk on Public Service reform as some of the indicators not reflecting well on Mutharika and therefore called on Mutharika to take charge or resign if he feels he is not up to the task.
Among other recommendations, the CSOs have urged Mutharika to reduce local as well as international travels and revise the Decent and Affordable Housing Subsidy Programme budget and adjust downward the newly introduced fees in schools.
They have also urged Mutharika to respect and protect media freedom, by among others, signing the much-awaited Table Mountain Declaration, and fully supporting the enactment of the Access to Information Bill (ATI).
“To take quick measures to employ all health workers and teacher graduates to ease service delivery in the health and education sectors; address the drug shortage; depoliticize the public sector reforms by supporting it with necessary legal regime in order to ensure continuity; ensure that Public service reforms are periodically scrutinized by Parliament to improve the program delivery and ensure that reforms reflect the views and wishes of Malawians,”appeals the CSO’s.
Special advisor to the President on non-governmental organisations and civil society, Mavuto Bamusi is on record telling the press that the CSOs were being childish by attacking Mutharika’s attitude.
“CSOs are being immature. They are taking a childish approach. CSOs in Malawi need to mature. Malawians were being fed with lies and the President could not tolerate that. The CSOs have to be responsible,” said Bamusi.
Mutharika, 75, has already ruled out a possibility of resigning, saying he will stay put until his end of term in 2019 and has already expressed interest to seek re-election for a second and final constitutional term of office.

75 percent of the CSOs are from north who were eating from the same plate with the cashgater, JB. Why you dint demand the sales from jet. yet you were satisfied with only words that the jet was sold and the cash was accounted for.You were very quiet to the extent that even people in the villages were taken by surprise.
apa ongofunika massive demonstrations to show our anger with this clueless Government.
Pano Malawi ndithu rated as the poorest country on earth…sikupusa uku.

Thus typical of CSOs are trying to protect their master as she comes this month end such that she should not be accountable of the maize that rotten without disposal and the Jet saga that went missing as if its pocket size item.

16. promises to marry getrude on condition he successfully steals the presidency
17. trains the unsuspecting wife on how to deep fingers in NAC funds
Just arrange 5 Lieutenant colonel s from MDF. The nod will be done and it’s gone be history.
Plz let the so called president resign its not about amess in the economy only as put by some members,its quite the whole process of governance is just rotten.To me he is not better than any of his/her predecessors period
Inu dikilani 2019 kuti mzavotele razaroyo. Tione ngati mzawine.
Malawians its time to wake up and traise up against this corrupt government. Otherwise we will be called poor and stupid because of corrupt and clueless leaders, this man is just a thief. If we love Malawi it’s time to march to Kamuzu palace and chase this thief b
The president has started a ‘War of Words’ with journalists. Mark my words, he will soon be a walking skeleton. All through I have learnt never to fight a journalist, otherwise you are finished.
Did Mayaya resign when he stole huge sums of money at HRCC? Did Sembereka resign when he, alongside, Mayaya and Undule swindle huge sums of money at HRCC? Akakhala Kwataine ndi uyu amangosainira ma allowance aulendo woti sanapange ku Macra. Ngati mukufuna ntchito, tangonenani akuganizirani. Zitomveka Kodi?
The greatest problem we all have as Malawians is that we think just bcoz someone is educated we think he/she can deliver, but the truth is School imachotsa umboli but foolishness its only God who takes it out, both the president and the CSOs need to give their lives to Jesus.
Is it a command or something else? What if he doesn’t resign? What will be the next step by CSOs? Malawians, can’t you smell Neodictatorship?
The APM that I know is more educated and takes evrything in educated way. But why do we suffer after the educated man is @ the helm of the mantle. Its only bcoz we are not educated. kkkkkkkkk. APM wants evrybody to think as he thinks. Kkkkkk. But is that possible. Kkkkk. Not @ all. hence resign APM.
Fellow Malawians antagonising and scapegoating are not going to change any thing. The only solution is just find out what is it failing us. Its like we want to exstinguish fire by removing smoke instead of actual fire. We always get wrong when its time to vote. This is a genesis of all these problems. We vote people into offices because they have such number degrees, tribes, regions, language and so on…….. Therefore, whether we make right choices or wrong choices. Sometimes we forget that some leaders in our country went to school but school did not go through them. Now these are the fruits we are experiencing. Our MPS are just idle enjoying their salaries. This country needs a prophesy. take it or leave it. Its is not about the president as the majority claims rather its about all malawians lacking visions when entrusting leaders into high offices. As wrong as we continiue with this type of voting system. This country is generating into a ” Banana Republic”. Dont blame the president. He is doing what he can to ensure that this country becomes a banana republicwhere there is no food, employment, high inflation, no drugs in hopsitals , you name it. In africa, Democracy is just on paper. Wait until 2019. This country need a Generation X leader. There lack of moral governance in our leaders. Yet all this messy, malawians are to blame. Therefore, stop blaming the president. Let us blame ourselves. Our country need overhauling.kkkkkkkk
Our CSOs are agents of the devil. They are saturated with demons. After all they lost credibility long time ago. There is nothing that they can tell us. No sane Malawian can hear them. They are slaves of political machinery. Clouds without water. They have nothing to offer us. All they know is burking but they dont have any solution to the problems of this nation. If they have solutions, let them come forward. If they dont have its better they shut their mouths. We want people who have solutions and not people who can point out problems. As for Rev. Sembeleka, he is a fallen angel. His light has become darkness. How great is that darkness. Shame on you.
Aliyese akufuna kulamulira malawi @? Enanu nde munama kwambiri, nsiyen mphwake wa Bingu pa chiwongolero, bwanji kod???
Zayambika basi.. shame on you peter
No way you can take out the president only through vote come 2019.you cso are minority while Malawian supporting peter are majority
I really don’t give a hoot who or which political party is ruling, all I care about is a president and a political party with the welfare of the poor people of Malawi at heart even if it means I vote for someone from china to be the president of Malawi. People in Malawi must get civilised and change the way they think. I remember somebody some time ago saying in mangochi even if you put a chicken as a presidential candidate for udf, they will vote for it. This kind of thinking cost us dearly and now people of the south will always be elected as presidents even if their abilities leaves alot to be desired. Honestly this is utter bullshit, we have a country 50 years after independence can’t afford to feed it’s own people even toothpicks have to be imported. Malawians in dwangwa grows sugar and yet sure is sold at a price one would think it is imported from Mars. Our politicians are just as stupid as they come maybe we must try mcp again.
Since the President is rich and doesnt need tax payers money, he should forthwith stop drawing salary. Let his salary be used to purchase medicines.
He should encourage his other rich ministers like Gondwe and Chaponda to also forgo their salaries
If the idiot stays put what value will he add anyway? We can not carry on like this till 2019 and in 2019 he is more than likely to rig the votes again. We can’t afford to have a layman at the state house who does not know almost everything. In other countries especially in Europe even a useless scandal (ie financial mismanagement etc) bosses voluntarily steps aside and fresh people with fresh hands chips in. But this so called already billionaire of yours wants to cling to power even if people wants him gone. Malawi is not some Zimbabwe where you got an old man ruling forever. Do the country a favour and step down and you will be regarded as a hero since you may have saved millions of live by doing so.

THAT IS IN SHORT A DUNDERHEAD MUTHARIKA
Readers of Nyasatimes feel free to add to the list of DUNDERHEAD definition.
CSOs are misguided and led by self-interested and vindictive individuals. They are using the people in order to get funding from donors. Malawians are fed up with these selfish elites calling themselves activists.
To those of you who worry about what happens when Dunderhead Mutharika resigns or is made to resign we have a Vice President and our Constitution to guide us. After all when Dunderhead Senior Bingu died whilst fornicating the VP took over., the men in the barrack made sure of that remember!
CSO’s should channel their concerns through legally mandated institutions such as parliament,the chaotic way of doing things will create a very bad precedence the next leader will also definitely face problems from victims of our present actions,it will be a tit for tat style and Malawi will be stagnant and suffer as a country.
A mayaya ndi gulu lanu nonse ndi makape. Mukuganiza mungaopsese nthutha ngati pitala agalu inu
APM DO NOT BE CHECKEN we will sort them out. We are just waiting for time to come.
ONYASA MITU MUZICHULA ATSOGOLELI A CSOs MUZAKHALE PATSOGOLO (front line) ndasula kale mivi yake just tell us when n which road will u take. Tizaona kuti Dolo ndi ndani
Mmm CSOs just tell Malawians that APM left u behind kkkkkkk. Peter knows what h z doing. Madzi magetsi r not issues for BIG Man stepping down. MDALAYU anavinidwa akuchitani Sort out kunsewu komko. Musayiwale ndi aphwawo a achindevutu paja.Afuna kufa azapite pamsewu kkkkkkk!
If you want new leader,make sure that your new leader is not sourced from political institution instead look into other institutions like of that health,education ,agriculture except MDF $ Police.
The biggest problem with Malawi’s economy is the billions that dunderhead Mutharika, his thankfully dead brother Bingu and the corrupt Indians have sent out of Malawi to keep in banks in Dubai, South Africa, off shore islands, UK etc. And the fact that Indians do not pay taxes to MRA for these billions that the send out of Malawi illegally.
Taking the billions out of Malawi and not paying taxes is the main cause of inflation and loss of value of the kwacha.
Under Kamuzu the Kwacha was strong because Kamuzu made sure that the Indians paid their taxes which they now do not and that the Indians kept their money in Malawi and invested their money in Malawi.
Like dunderhead Mutharika the Indians buy up all the dollars to take out of Malawi and to pay dunderhead Mutharika his 15% bribe or commission as he calls it.
Some comments?
Proffessor my foot
I live USA and is a ex student of APM. The man called Prof.was rhe worst teacher I had. All students who took his lessons complaned. To be a professor does not mean one is good. Its is something u read. Malawians go for status. The man has lived in USA where money is worth more than a human being. Peter looked down upon you Malawians since he came and join his brother. How many minstrial post he had and what was his perfomance in those posts. He already showed that he did nt care about Malawians except his life style. He was using president helcoptor and stavelling like h was a president alread that time. To me I am not surprised that he hired expensive jet plan. The old man did not come o help Malawians but contunue enriching himself. Peter,s account is full of dollars from Malawi. He is lying that he was very rich already. Why saying this now? Where is the money Bingu left? The money found in the state house. I live i USA have been here sinci 1976 and have a good job, house but Iam not very rich as he claims. We pay bills here. We pay tax here. We have mortgage here etc. By the way have you checked f his wife get salary like Callista did? That rubbish must be stopped. One does not marry for others to pay salary. Wives are not employed. All the money wasted for useless things for the high government officials could have build Malawi. Blacks we are. Lack of calculation of how and where we can cut. I am tired of hearioong that e are beggers. This is why they respect us. We have the money but money go into their pockets. Travelling has become their salaries. That is why they want to travel. It is ALLOWANCES they are after. Donors have tried to advise us against travelling and allowances, but we defend it. Travelling in business or first class also cost. Does president need to travel all the time? Why not send VP? Or minister?
A Sembereka mwaiwala kuti mai uja madamnamiza kuombamo mboma ndi Lutepo ndi inu ndi onzanu? Lero ma economic concerns ake ati? Akangofika tidzamufinya choyamba adzatiuze komwe adapititsa ndalama za jetgate, maizegate, oilgate and other gates.
Here is my free advice to President Mutharika
1. Don’t believe everything your advisers tell you. If you said you approve the list if 18-member delegation to your UN trip and you ending up having 115, it means your advisers lied to you. You should have insisted to have a full list, sponsored or not sponsored and vet. Of course this is the job of State House, Foreign Affairs, etc but these guys are out to help one another. So watch out! You should demand full information on almost everything that will have an impact on image of Govt and your leadership.
2. Don’t accept to attend each and every small function organized by your boys. These are much interested in PR for their own benefits so as to be seen to be working and become good boys. in my view, if you launched technical college training programme for the youth in Ngala in Karonga, there is no need to have individual launches for every technical college as was the case with Mponela and Naminjiwa. These rallies are a drain of resources. One political rally masquerading as development rallies cost not less than K70 Million. If you want you can get that money and let it be used on things that people can see and appreciate. Afterall, you are not an orator naturally.
3. Beware of people like Kudontoni who always wants the president to be on the move so that they can take advantage to attack the opposition. Let them organize their rallies if they want. There is a tendency for party zealots to persuade the leadership with lies that if they don’t hold rallies, people will not know them.
Resources or no resources, Peter should fight to solve the problem of water, electricity, etc. We have had these problems for long enough and Malawi should just borrow money from lenders and use it prudently. Stop rhetoric!
4. Malawi inflation is largely anchored by food availability. The issue of Greenbelt has been talked for a long time without action. Govt should partner with private sector to make the initiative a success. We knew there will be hunger in jan 2015. Govt is now billions of kwachas to buy maize from other countries. That money should have been pumped or used on Greenbelt Initiative and by now we should have a bumper harvest from this programme.
5. Malawi population is growing at an alarming late. Govt needs to intervene on this otherwise, you will find it difficult to govern this country in future given our limited resources. Its nonsense to just think of votes in future.
6. Govt should move away from subsidies. No economy can grow when you just focus on consumption!
7. The president must show leadership and he must be felt that he is there instead of leaving the country to Viola and his cronies to manage.
I rest my case!
APM is here to stay till 2019!
Try to go to the streets with your supporters; they will be met by resistance to your call. There will be two opposing groups fighting deadly and if you think the Army or Police will take sides, well you are deceiving yourselves. They will just be there to try to remove tension from opposing sides of: DPP supporters and MCP CSO supporters or in short South vs Part of Central plus part of North.
Take care!

The prophecy is slowly coming to pass on APM and DPP .the permanent end of the Mutharikas has come just like Bakiris name. the sad part is UDF , is stone dead even if Atupele was going to come out of government ,no one will ever take them seriously not again,and give MCP the only party to be trusted for governance.
Since you are a professor, you are automaticaly appointed as senior section head at Tsawala primary school TA Mwanza in salima.Please confirm it before deadline that is
B4 30 October,2015.
Malawi dont derseve blind pipo like MAVUTO BAMUSI. This is crisis we swimming in, where it is 50/50 – succumb or survive. How do you expect passangers alive alive at airport if pilot has gone crazy on their way? Those concerns reflects citizens as work is represent them. So if you bullshit them, automatically you are onto Malawi as a whole. Learn understand when your child is crying, have a close investigations and apply solutions in a responsible manner.

A very disgraceful conduct done by the so..called SSO.I wish I could renounce my citizenship as a Malawian.
APM woyeeeeeee mpaka 2019 Boma! More fire!
Calling for the president’s resignation = negative energy + abdication of CSO core mandate. Period. Antagonising the president with calls for his resignation is just not a constructive approach befitting a progressive attitude. In fact, it is a bit childish. Such naivety should stop. What will you do if he does not? Expending negative energies renders no credibility to CSOs. Consider the chaos and social instability such an act would cause. CSOs should stick to the issues and the accountabilities that the president and the executive should live up to. If the call for resignation continue, CSOs will lose credibility, and they will have themselves to blame for abdicating their responsibilities.
Its free advice offered to APM by the CSOs. He needs to improve otherwise some of you boot leakers continue to be defensive for nothing and you just continue to bring APM in disrepute.
Sikuti dzikoli ndi la munthu mmodzi. Ngati enanu mukudyelera ndi APM mudziwe kuti a mabungwe akufuna kuti kudyelera kwanuko kupitilire ngati Peter atamvera ndi kutsata malangizo ndi zofuna za AMALAWI.
CHENJERANI INU SI OYAMBA.
inu mukuti APM achoke your stupid ..kauzeni amai anu …achoke
Peter Mutharika you are welcome to apply for the job as a PROFESSOR at Mzuzu University, please apply before you step down as a president. Your immediate application will be highly appreciated. Joseph kalambo will interview you Mr professor.
CSOs. This is fine. Do not wdr. Tiyenaoni ameneo. Look at Malawi today! Yet we have three yrs to go. Where shall the country be be, by 2019?? You are our mouthpiece. Akatolika nanunso mukwampenya osayankhulapo kanthu. Mudakadyabe masikono awo anakuikani kukamwao?
President wopusa uyu kukanika kulamulira dziko?
You headless CSOs,especially those that are advocating for Peter’s resignation, who doesnt know that you hate this guy with passion? You have never wanted this guy ever since and you shamelessly claim that he should resign because of the problems Malawi is facing today? a Martha u board chair wa Macra omweu? Get a life you dunderheads. You want to go into government through backdoor? You wanted the guy to resign even before he was elected and in your unholy communion you will sing your songs hoarse but the guy aint go nowhere. Just strategise for 2019.
Peter was not a millionnaire when he came here. Not a lecturer. His brother Bingu was struggling with life when he was fired at Comesa. It was Namondwe who offered him a house at Area 15. We could see Bingu driving a green Nissan Sunny. His party UP had no funds and why didn’t Peter join him. Had it not for Bakili to hand pick Bingu for presidency this family would have been an ordinary family. It’s, therefore, a lie for Peter to claim he was a millionnaire when he came here. Bingu channeled stolen money to Peter’s accounts. Let the FBI investigate this monster in power. The problem with Malawians is failure to analyse a person. Peter is even more than 80 years old. He will soon kick the bucket. The arrogance will end there.
Arrogance, lack of fiscal discipline, boasting that he was rich before becoming president yet clinging to a K1.4 m/ month job, poor service delivery, nepotism, corruption etc A Malawi mukufuna achite kukuphani kuti munene enough is enough? A Malawi ndinu omvetsa chisoni kwambiri.
Moderate terrorist groups not Csos can nyasatimes.com correct that.Very soon they will be giving thier alliagance to ISIS and Boko Haram.they love press conference as well as media spotlights to seize from chaos.
CSOs you have now yourselves into political parties. How can a president who was elected by 1.5million people resign just because Sembereka and his army of fools have wanted?
Kodi nkhani ya Njauju inathela pati? Yangozizila ngati ya Chasowa bwanji. We expected the CSOs to touch on those issues as well because it would appear that these mysterious deaths are as a result of government machinery to silence or indeed intimidate those trying to unearth corrupt practices within the upper echelons of authority.
When did Bamusi himself mature – He only goes where he is given huge money at the expense of poor Malawians. He wants to please the president so he can continue living hefty life, himself. I wish people like Bamusi would not mislead the president.
And for our president, please see the truth in what people are saying. Sit down and devise mechanisms to turn-around the economy. Malawians remember well that which ever ministry our dear late Bingu gave you it was a disaster: Min. of Education – Academic saga; Ministry of Foreign Affairs – Deportation of UK High Commissioner; Ministry of Justice – Poor laws and problems in justice system; Ministry of ……failure! failure!!. I wish the president did his own soul searching. Listening to people like Bamusi, Chaponda, Chiyembekeza, Fabiano and other clansmen will continue to be a disaster.
By the way, where is my old friend Lloyd Zawanda? Eating scones with his employer ‘ung’ono ung’ono’ who has been swallowed by the ‘bombe’. I voted for the president and I wish him well in his performance.
Stupid CSOs. What do you know you lazy people who eat from handouts of donors and cashgate? Akakhala Gift Trapence anaba ku MRA ndipo anamuchotsa. He is a convict. He can’t be employed by a wel meaning company.
Gay, lesbian activist you don’t have powers to show weather you are serious or not,If you are dare enough go for matching show us what you got,See my name.
APM was elected and you the so called CSOs were not elected by us so you have no power to ask the president to resign. By the way how many CSOs do we have in Malawi because it looks like everyone has his or her own NGO. Government please put a body to regulate these NGOs,they are just empty tins.All countries are experiencing hardships look at Greece,South Africa,Iraq and the like.olamulira dzikoli ndi satana ndiye simungayembekezere kunyauda more especially mutakana za ma gay.
This time round you won’t succeed. What you did to Bingu is enough. Try it and see what happens.
STUPID CSOs MUNGOFUNA KUSOKONEZA BASI APA NDIYE MUKHAULA TITHANA NANU MWATUMIDWA ETI. APM SACHITA RESIGN KOMA MUCHITA DISBAND
its time to arm ourselves,enough is enough,the president must resign at all cost,we want a leader with sound mind even the constitution states clearly that the president must be someone with good mental abilities
Mavuto ndie alipodi
Nyasatimes please put an option to ‘dislike’ some comments just as there is an option to ‘like’.
am supporting the guyz. if he was rich who called him to come for help why don’t he stay in usa? he is rich thus why he cannot meet the demands of the poor. pple r crying now and then, they r even failing paying k350 for school fund. tikamafika 2019 wina adya chitosi, sukulu aphunzire ndi anawo ndipo akufuna tonse tikhale mbuli. anawo,zizukulu zawo zizakhale atsogoleri athu. THE DEVIL THAT DESTROY GOD’S PPLE CAN NOT GO UN PUNISHED BEFORE THE WRATH OF GOD BE FALL upon HIM
Come up with altenatives on how best the coutry can be run without donors. You were totaly silent during cashgate, sale of jet collapse of security etc. Electricity, water problems its coz we have finished vegetation and issue of climate change, why not facilitate on how best can vegetation can be regenerated. Some of claims r inmature and childish. Love your country by trying to highlight solution to problems faced
Komaa ee pafa mzungu apa….
Cashgate,jetgate,maizegate,mortuarygate and donor withdraw are the real cause of what we are facing to day.Do u mean o thiz could have been solved in a yr and 4 months? You were silent in the previous gvt. You a so harsh calling the president to resign becz of mistakes done by previous gvt? Why not seeking an audience with him to discuss and come up with solutions? You think through press will solve? CSOs please be matured enough its a country of many not a family of few. Dont divide us , you failed us during cash gate, maizegate ,jetgate ,donorgate. You are cowards
I CAN TAKE THE CSO’S SERIOUSLY AND ONLY SERIOUSLY IF THEY’RE NIOT TAGGED WITH GAYISM, OTHERWISE NANUNSO KHALANI CHETE MUKUNGOSEKANA ZIKUNDU NDI APM WANUYO!! CHOULUKA CHIDZATERA!!
It is laughable to note that these guys have not laid down rescue measures known by them that would bail out Malawi from its current situation. I would have expected they put these on Mutharika’s disposal, engage with him and put time lines and agree on them. That would be professional! Only if he can ignore these, then it could be justifiable to call for his resignation.
There is no doubt in every sound mind that this call is personal against the name Mutharika. It is unfinished business of Bingu.
In JB’s government in 2013 when cashgate broke out, we had a simmilar situation m: people dying in hospitals due to lack of medicine, people displaced by heavy storm with no disaster help from her government, ever sky rocketing prices,JB’s ever country traveling distributing cows and bags of maize. JB even boasted that she was a business before and was well to do; and insult to Malawians.This was happening yet in the wake of cashgate but we did not hear a call for JB to resign from this CSO.
We Malawians would need consistency and fairness in the manner you deal with your issues, not the way you behave!
These people will cause Civil War in Malawi if not checked. Not all Malawians would agree with you and that will be the source of resistance leading to Civil War! Read the situation and be warned!
Zikuvuta ndati Wina zimuvutatu kkkk just saying lol
CSOz you are slow to react to issues and somehow selective in your approach.
I know not all of you are totally in disagreement with what this government is doing because you are beneficiaries. good example is Mr. Voice Mhone and Mr. Bamusi.
We are very desperate now to have solutions.
mukamufinya kwambiri anthu afika powona kuti mulindi personal hatred naye,simungaphunzire kuti hatred yanu munayamba evin atangobwera mudziko muno? chilichonse amachita mmachitsutsa ndipo mumayesa ndizimene anthu akufuna haha but anthu anamvotera were u note surprised, mukamachedwa ndikukana kuti anawina, or anthu ambiri amamukonda, mulephelanso. think, u can do better
Malawians have to fully support the call by the NCO’s for dunderhead Mutharika to resign. Sadly it is MCP and PP who should be calling for Mutharika to resign and organising civil demonstrations demanding that Mutharika resigns.
But the opposition parties only know how to design the cloth that their supporters have to wear when dancing for their leaders and how to get their supporters to worship their own party leaders. So democracy has failed as the opposition parties either sell out like UDF has or are dumb, deaf and blind in parliament.
Our hope and prayers therefore are now should be be that our suffering and pain is felt in the barracks and our brothers intervene to force dunderhead to resign or force him to resign and hold him at Mikuyu until the billions that he and Bingu stole is returned to Malawi. And clean up Malawi politics from these self serving leaders who have high jacked our democracy.
Kuyendetsa boma is a serious business amangwetu
ma Ngo okuba awa a gift trapence ndiye mbava zazikulu ma drug artist maluzi akumenyani anthu akudya ndalama za cashgate munali chete lero mwaona kuti mwagwa nayo ndiye mwayamba kutokota munya muona ife nga nga nga APM
These CSOs are simply showing their utter ignorance regarding how democracies work.
None of those allegations are listed anywhere in the Constitution as requiring a Malawi president to resign. Malawians will not stand by and just watch their democratic rights getting trampled on by these people, who have only personal interest at heart. To justify their existence to the foreigners funding them.
We voted for this government, and it has four more years to go. Ndiye mukhaulatu?! (Take ‘dat).
Since when did any CSO become a judge and executioner? These CSOs are laughable; and they would not cut the muster in any other country. Only in Malawi.
The Constitution actually demands that APM should “…do right by all manner of people without ill will according to law”. Carelessly spending public funds taking illiterate chiefs and junior state house employees to New York is not doing right by Malawians. And when he is reminded about his obligations, he stupidly boasts about being rich? Then why the hell did he bother campaigning instead of just quietly enjoying his “wealth” like other rich people do?
About kukhaula for the next 3 and half years, please know that okhaula sadziwika. If you think APM can continue abusing his office in peace, then you have got another think coming. We are going to make sure that as long as he doesn’t play ball, then he has as much stress as possible. Remember that his brother thought he could ride roughshod over Malawians, and in the end he just dropped dead from all the unnecessary stress he created for himself. All the riches APM is boasting about will be left for the Maseko’s of Balaka to enjoy…
Amateur Chikhwaya = amateur comments.
Get serious man, and quote equally serious sections of the Constitution. Wagwa zazo izi! (Go get a copy of the Constitution, and consult a lawyer before quoting again.)
dziko lino ndilatsoka,anthu a cso, a livingstonia synod,MCP ndi ena sakonda dzikolawo.zoganiza, zochita zawo ndizija..aha! watere! mwayi atidziwe ife siyamasewera,tikazisiya anthu amukonda kwambiri,,. meeting kuyamba mpaka kumaliza ife.. ife, adziwaso..akutimangira abale anthu* cashgate* kkk zovetsa chisoni ndithu. this country does not need a perfect leader neither there is one,we don’t a listening leader but visionary & strong leader.l think we have one,do watever u want this muthalika wil perfom and wil go wrong way
Honestly we will actually help APM to have him resign.the guy has no idea of what he is doing. Malawians the earlier the better. We do not have time to waist on him.
mwayambapo za misala zanu a cso. Foolish people. If he has told u lively that he was already rich before elected into power z it rude? Foolish. Economic crisis z not only happening in Malawi only, but also in developed nations . Our image here is tarnished therefore donors lost confidence in our leadership. And we can’t make it in absence of donors. U know this. U hv intended goal. If peter resigns, then one of u should b the interim president n u shud turn tables around. Devils. Go back to school

It can’t happen for the president to resign because of few dunderheaded. Go to Zambia see what’s going on with their economy even South Africa. What’s wrong with you afisi inu? I was in Zambia last week this economic problems are there but never hear Zambians calling president Edgar to resign. You must stop your nonsense right now. Useless CSO and it’s you who have failed us.
Whatever Bamusi said does not carry any weight. Peter Mutharika terribly goofed when during the press conference he insulted Malawians when he said he is super rich. That is why Malawians have asked him to resign to go and enjoy his riches. The fact that the budget is off track within the 1st quarter of the 2015/16 financial year is testimony that Peter Mutharika is failing. He should not be wasting taxpayers money by hiring jets and taking over 100 people to the United Nations. The demonstrations are fully justified.
Agalu inu. Kodi mutakhala inu mungatani. Mungofuna ndalama muzigula magalimoto muzikwera pamwamba pa anthu ovutika. Musatinyanse iwe mtambo ndi tiazizakozo. Olo mutapanga phokoso lotani it wont work. Anthu oipa inu ana ama Hule.
this cso hve let us down on cash gate now they are talking like wise guys. where are they all along I don’t like them.this country need wise and sharp pipo to do all this plz problem. pipo who thinks are well educated are the one who puts thus country to mess like this. lets hve time yo repent for god mercies to come.
Iwe Ru-san stop dat nonsense and zip up your mouth, u are not here in Malawi and u dnt know what is happening with this foolish gov, We are the ones who are suffering so let the human rights defenders do their job without fear or favour
Disgruntled DPP members,
JUST IMAGINE CHAM EMPLOYEES ARE CELEBRATING MOTHER’S DAY WITH NO SEPTEMBER SALARY TO DATE. WHAT A MEAN GVT!
Cso, what ever you call yourselves ,you are mad ,selfish , greedy,what did you do to the graves of our brothers at zolozolo, and now you have started ,you want to buy new car using our blood , indeed your stupid csos, you didn’t even take govt to task on cashgate ,you have failed this nation
Good job CSO’s,that’s what we have been expecting all along,that tone should not go down infact it should be raised to THE PRESIDENT MUST RESIGN IMMEDIATELY because we have proved beyond reasonable doubt that he is clearly unfit to run this country
Babylon agwe basi, nthawi yakwanapo.
Hello CSO and fellow Malawians,
I have so many questions to fellow Malawians – especially the CSOs.
1. Why do we have Parliament and Judiciary? – I thought these arms of Govt are there to help and solve matters of the Executive.
2. Why should we change the way govt is run by bypassing these instituted arms of Gvt?
3. Why is it that every person in Malawi has become a journalist, judge, policeman, lawyer, teacher and every position? – you name it. Any issue of national importance you expose it to the world, you judge it and you pass judgement.
Honestly, our country will never progress with this mindset. Let us learn from our colleagues – they dont have such nonsense.
4. Are we really serious to call for the president to resign becoz of this? I am not supporting anyone here, but the point is we really need to follow procedures on how matters of national importance and security are concerned. Amatisekatu nazotu izi pple from abroad.
Please, please, Malawians lets learn to be patriotic an help our country develop.
I cry for my beloved country. CSOs please love your country and dont expose your ignorance and lack of patriotism to other countries please. Am not in Malawi now – but what you do there exponses us all and we look foolish in the eyes of others here.
You will understand this better in the near future. THANK YOU
Zayambikatu,paulendo mutharika,bye bye,its been nice being with you these two years.
Kungoti mmalawi muno muli umphawi, palibe chifukwa chochitira izizi. Our president must resign ruling this country because he failed to utilise the little money we have instead he is wasting them. He hired ajet, and he took alarge group of pple to USA which is not true for the betterment of our nation. DPP ndichipani chama bulutu ozitenga ngati ozindikira koma zili mbuzi, okuba okhaokha. Nthawi yakampeni mumati civil service akulandira masalary onyenyeka panopa mukuti no salary increaments which to me sound nonsese. Talekan mukapumule ku ndata CHAKWERA DZIKO ATENGA BASI!!!!!!.
Kaya a Malawi tidayesanji kunamizidwa ndi anthu oipawa APM ndiyenso bola BINGU anabisako manga ake zaka zisanu zoyambilila koma uyu opanda manoyu eeeeeee kudzitama.
Babylon agwe basi.
Anthu inu…mwayambapo?
The worst President ever, he should resign and not waste our valuable time. We don’t want to waste another 5 years of none development like we wasted some years under Bakili and his brother. If we had good leadership Malawi would be at par with its neighbours but that’s not the case, we are poorest and going down under this clueless thieving leadership
Is Billy Mayaya advancing Airtel Malawi’s in this regard?
