Malawi ex-spy chief Kalilani detained together with State House former ICT expert
Malawi Police Services in Lilongwe on Saturday arrested former director of National Intelligence Services, Kenam Kalilani and former State House chief ICT officer Chance Chingwalungwalu.
The police are however mum on the charges levelled against the two who worked in the Peter Mutharika administration.
Chingwalungwalu’s family members said the former ICT guru was summoned by fiscal police at police headquarters in Area 30, Lilongwe.
The two were being kept at Lingadzi police station.
Police also arrested the director of youth for the opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Dyton Mussa in connection with the petrol bombing of a UTM office in Lilongwe which killed three people of the same family.
President Lazarus Chakwera has embarked on what he describes as clearing the rubble, arresting and prosecution those in the former regime who were involved in corruption, economic plunder, murder and other crimes.
In a recent letter addressed to President Chakwera, DPP Secretary General Gelzeder Jeffrey claimed the arrests had nothing to do with the rule of law but borne out of hatred by the new administration against sympathisers of DPP and Mutharika.
She warned President Chakwera that “her party would not be cowed into submission or relegated to the footnote of politics by any arbitrary arrests and intimidation”.
Chakwera has pledged to “clear the rubble of corruption” based on the rule of law and not political victimization.
He pledges to serve all Malawians regardless of their political, regional, tribal or religious inclination.
Lero ndi Lero you want new govt to give you jobs? UMBULI UMENEWO .Peter failed basi alibenso mano.
These cases will end at bail mark my words. We have seen arrest on Mbilizi, Chisale, Mathanga, Magalasi. All these cases will die a natural death. The arrest are done as a joker to give an impression that the new government is serious. I have heard Chakwera say he will reduce presidential powers yet we have seen him making illegal appointment at MRA, Police etc. He said he will reduce his convoy but that is not decided by him but his security. They will scare him that if he reduces the convoy he will be attacked so that they continue travelling with him and claiming allowances.
On allowances, tame your ministers. When Kadzako was going on familiasation tour, he claimed allowances both fuel and out of pocket from his ministry yet here at MACRA we also paid him allowances and fuel. The same goes with other ministers. Their trips dont come cheap because they are accompanied by all the senior people at the ministry. On average one trip of a minister drains over MK8m
Who else is next!
ku MERA awatutako.
I Hate what the DPP has done to Malawi and if I hear someone sympathetic about it I puke

Cadet iwe choka adzingowona akuba kuti munthu wanilungu
Does God forgive a person who has not repented?
Nyauses,how can you forgive someone who was wedding to corruption?do you know what this have cause Malawians?do you know how Malawians have suffered under dpp?do you know how many people have died because of careless dpp,Have you been to KCH yourself and see how cancer patients suffer.have you seen three patients being put on one bed?Time has come let them dance to the tunes of our taxes.ungoti pheeee uoneeeeeee,nanga akubawa awachita bwanjiiiii ungoti pheeee uoneeeeee.
Show your repentance not just your remose as you are doing!
Mwana wa njoka iwe , pita kutali . Simunati mulira
Stupid Nyusesi! Who are you to
Judge? It’s not your responsibility to judge that men of God do not forgive. When you and your fellow cadets were looting, did you care about those dying in hospitals due to lack of medication? The money the looters were flashing on mahule could buy medicines and other necessities. You want to talk as if you know the Bible?
Amangotola aliyense kukhala spy chief. Deloli Kalilani anali “M” a la “M” in James Bond? Kaya zanu izo. Kapitani kundende, kalilani, kadandaulani!!! 😭
Debrief him fully, Dr Laz. 🔗

we want them to be arrested by Tonse because they claim that they are clean and want to clear the rubble and we are just helping them to see the rubble inside their camp before they look outside.
If these arrests are not politically motivated, then JB, MASANGWI AND KALIATI SHOULD ALSO BE ARRESTED. RECORDS OF THEIR CRIMES ARE WITH THE POLICE AND ACB.
Munali ndi 5 years kuti muwamange a Kaliati ndi Amasangwi? Bwanji simunawamange?
something that is puzzling is that all the so called corrupt people are only DPP? Are you sure Chakwera that you are really arresting people on a bisi of crime? please search your soul extremely carefully or all this will come back to bite you hard! by that time it will be too late!
Arresting in arrears !! A opposition were already arrested ….. kungoti nthawi zonse paying rent in arrears imawawa !
I think Chingaipe you are useless.Don’t think MCP will ever be there for GOOD,BELIEVE ME 2025 YOU WIL BE EMBARASSED.THE SAME CHILIMA WILL RUN AWAY FROM MCP.Zomwe ukuchita zongonyoza wanthu sis=zkuthandiza mphawanga!!!!Ine kuti ndikuyanke zeni zeni uzimangilira mphanga kkkkkk.I am not Cadet but Souherner kkkk
Chakwera samanga anthu koma malamulo kungoti amaponderedzedwa ndi DPP
Please understand us! Chakwera is not arresting people, it the same machinery that you threatened when you or your bosses were looting our money
Good move Kenam thought he was on top of the world
Yes.
Kennam uhule wakowo ukupweteketsa, ndalama mwathera kunyengera ma hule, lero ndi izi……… usova mwana, u were too pompous for nothing nditima degree ta fake taku Jerusalemu to, hahaaaa rot in jail kape iwe!
I will not believe these arrests to be genuine if Masangwi, Kaliati are not arrested. Below are their alleged cases.
Kaliati. influencing selection of undeserving student to secondary school.
Kaliati influencing recruitment of police officers from her constituency.
Kaliati assult of a house maid who was sleeping with her husband.
Kaliati assult of Grezzeder Jefrry
Kaliati dubious sale of Vwaza mash
kaliati encroachment in chikangawa forest and illegal loging
kaliati Midnight six.
Masangwi Chasowa murder
Masangwi smuggling
Bwanji simunawamange a Kaliatiyo nthawi yanu ya DPP?? Chifukwa chiani ? Mumabisa chiani nanga inu Chilungamo mumabisa . Ndiye mwati nyansi zanu apakidwe ndani ?
Mau.kkk
DPP does not believe in political persecution because it ends up draining a lot of resources (police, money) and court outcomes tend to be dismal. The other reason is because of opportunistic politics – corruption stretches from one party to another. TONSE benefited from stolen government money.
So Dpp let them free
So DPP was waitng for Chakwera to take over so that he can arrest Masangwi and Kaliati
If didn’t arrest them all this time, it shows you didn’t have any evidence so you want the new government to deal with issues that you failed in your time? Maybe you used them and you were afraid to be revealed?
Very true 😂
Take the evidence to ACB, the institution will do its job. Otherwise posting here won’t help you. Moreover, she was with DPP many years you let these things go on.
Do you know what you’re talking about? Who bought Vwaza Marsh Wildlife Reserve? Don’t talk of things you don’t know…? You’re pathetic..!!!
Haaaaaa? Can repeat this again 🤔🤔🤔🤔🖕is vwaza marsh gone! Oooooh my gosh , we are already vying for the sold of chikangawa forest and now vwaza marsh eish this greedy presidents where are they taking Malawi nation to? The railway company, the manufacturing companies all gone to the mwenye’s . What sin did Malawi committed to deserve this.
DPP was sleepy when these allegations were supposed to be looked into. If your DPP was sleepy, do not expect the present gov. to do the job your thieves were being paid for.
Kaliati is someone Malawi doesn’t need in public life. She was UDF, jumped to DPP and now UTM. These are people who we should be discarding into the dustbin of history.
Where were you so that she should be nominated as Minister ? You should have taken her palce
But all these that you have mentioned it was the duty of DPP to prosecute. Why DPP didn’t even mention these alleged crimes?
You should have arrested them, what were you waiting for. As for you thugs, you will prosecuted and our money recovered
You had your six years in govt . Why didn’t you arrest them then?
Spy chief? Or just a ‘wireless mouse’?
Ndipo simunati munya.. Nkhani za a Kaliati mwaziona lero bwanji simunawamange. What DPP has done is beyond belief! Chaka cake ndi cino. Brace yourselves.Ili ndi boma lomwe likudziwa what is happening osati zinazi.Call it what you like people are going to be arrested en mass.
