Malawi journos speak on Mutharika’s cash handout: NPL editor returned K50,000

November 25, 2014 Thom Chiumia - Nyasa Times 105 Comments

Media practitioners that had dinner with President Peter Mutharika at Sanjika Palace last Tuesday have been commenting on revelations that the Head of State gave the cash handouts of K50,000, saying they were rather ‘ambushed’ to receive the money.

Times TV editor and columnist Graciun  Tukula first went public about the money that was given to the media practitioners which triggered scatching attack from Malawi law professor Danwood  Chirwa, calling it “bribery.”

Media trainer Dr Levi Zeleza Manda told Nyasa Times  that  Chirwa, a professor of law at the prestigious University of Cape Town in South Africa,  “is right” to accuse the President.

Manda said  the journalists were “ in a fix” because they were deceived to receive envelops purportedly containing documents of President’s media freedom literature yet to discover cash was in it.

“Would it have been appropriate to give back the money there and then?  If they were honest with themselves that money should have been declared to their newsrooms or donated to charity. That’s what happens elsewhere.  I find the  justification by some recipients that actually that money was their tax to be tantamount to justifying the looting called  cashgate by fellow tax payers,” Manda said in comments made to Nyasa Times.

On Misa-Malawi internet discussion forum for media practitioners, the matters has dominated debate and also on social media platform , Facebook.

It emerged through the discussions that Nation Publication Limited editor George Kasakula  did not take home the blue envelop after realising it contained cash.

“For the record, George Kasakula returned the money to Frederick Ndala [presidential press secretary] the same night. At least clap hands for him!” wrote BBC correspondent and Muckracking columnist Raphael Tenthani.

Tenthani disclosed that he and other journalists have committed to channel the money for charity towards the health bill of former Malawi News editor Limbani Moya, currently in India to undergo a kidney transplant.

He defended journalists for collecting the money.

“Look, the whole thing was shambolically organised. When we got the invite  some of us asked what’s on the agenda. We were told it’s an ‘interface’  with the President, he airs out his frustrations/concerns, we air ours. But come the day the President indeed asked for comments from his guests  after his speech but MC Timpunza Mwansambo decided to curtail the whole thing. I’m not sure whether this was planned or Timpunza was just being overzelous.

“Then Kondwani Nankhumwa [Minister of Information]  lied to us that  everyone should get a folder which contained the President vision on press freedom in Malawi. Everyone was surprised to see that the  President’s ‘vision’ only included an embosed folder with a blank  writing pad, an engraved pen and a white envelope! Some  just sent the folders to their drivers without checking what’s in there. So they discovered the ‘trick’ at home. “

Tenthani confessed that he discovered the ‘trick’ there and then but did not return the money and justified the reasons behind.

“A few of us agonised over how to react. We agreed this was plain wrong. But returning the money then  could have served no purpose because the State House ‘boys’ and ‘girls’  could have had just shared the money among themselves.

“Of course, with hindsight, that could have even been a better story for someone could gotten in trouble.
Going forward, some of us have decided not to return the money to State House but to donate the K50,000 to a fund created for our colleague Limbani  Moya who is battling kidney failure in India.”

Tenthani, one of the influential columnist who offers objective critique on social and political issues, said  the Presidential “bribe”  will not “mellow our fingers or inks.”

He called the Sanjika saga as “the most stupid way to bribe people for lack of a better word. Why lie there was a booklet where there was none? Perhaps he was afraid that if he  mentioned the ‘white’ envelops (clever crooks use brown!) some of us  could have had time to think properly.”

Tenthani stated: “As it was State  House ambushed us. And, as Gracian Tukula rightly put it, returning the  money there and then could have cause a scene.”

Prof Chirwa  said the President’s conduct  constitutes crimes under sections 25B and 26 of the Corrupt Practices Acts.

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.

Presidential spokesman Ndala  did not respond to a request for comment.

  1. That sounds to me plainly that “i have nothing to offer you; here is a pen and a very blank notepad, make your own rules boys & girls and i have included the money for posting or you can get a ride and bring it over to me” in short “I don’t have time, so you do it”.
    Guys, keep working and just remember to use the right words. ‘love you all.

  3. My brother, allowances are signed for, not the way this happened. Kodi mumathamanga ndi ma comment pa zinthu zomwe simuzidziwa? Silly goat.

  7. zovuta izi. so many issues arising. oh .my mother Malawi. pastors, bishops, shehez etc etc, where are you? dont u think this is right time to organize prayers!

  8. Tukula asatipusise ife. I have never heard of an event that journalists have been invited and never got cash never. Even if you tell them you have some event that is worth covering if you dont tell them they will receive money they dont come so they shouldnt pose like little saints here.

  12. I think Mr president want to tell dis so called journo guyz that he has been to America for long, he knows hw to play de game called corruption and bribery, and it also tellz us Malawians dat he also playz american acting during election time, I hope he will pass all these bcoz he’s an american mafia, bravo mr president to let them know dat U have been in the field for long, kuvotela mbiri za chikale mwagwa nayo……APM woyeeeeeee!

  13. Anthu enanu ndidzitsiru, munthu wakupatsani freely now you criticise him??? If you don’t know, in case you grew up in the villages where you used to eat cassava for lunch and supper, in town people give each other gifts. Its an act of appreciation.

    Perharp it is not getting into your minds, gifts are always a surprise! Nonsense and bullshit

  14. Zintchito zonse zakumidima zidzaonekera poyera ( all works from the black world shall come to the public awareness ) The protagonist in a such a way shall be identified as one of the cashgaters and evil doing to the Malawi nation shall bounce back the the sender

  15. God is watching evry jim en jck,crcks en folz,God’s clock keeps ticking lightly waitng 4 proper tym 2 clock,hear from me pipo…..in no tym i prophesy……..muyisova,subtraction basi

  16. can they be bought with 50 thousand………. how much do they have in there accounts zimene akumana ndikupasta odwala amene akunenedwawo. Malawians jack-up its 50 years!!!!!!
    Ask for an explanation why it was given to them not coming on the media and talk zopusa….. what do you want in return from the peoples if you are really that intelligent, siwekha ophuzira ku malawi kuno

  17. I am still waiting for word from the ACB, Fiscal Police and finally the Chief Prosecutor. Meanwhile, APM could also do a “Lootepo” by taking to Zodiak.

  18. What goes around comes around i beg you my Brother Peter Mutharika to simply resign than keep on ambarassing us in this world bcz what u doing now has come out of ppls control,Jst resign otherwise ppl will set fire that Sanjika house.Like what happened in Burkinafaso.

  19. Kondwani Nankhuma,Peter Mutharika are all unreliable ppl to use in bringing back the good future of Malawi.Opposition MPs seems to have forgotten their work in Parliament and i dnt see any reason of waiting for them to act but simply people themselves must remove Peter as President before this country is placed in a bin.

  20. This is just the begining there is more to come from these crooks,MBC can you kindly explain to us like you did with Lutepo, JB saga last week , this is also hot bcoz its our money which is at stake here

  21. Chikuwakanika chigayo kuyendetsa My Bible Tells Me NO PEACE FOR THE WICKED,Ýou rigged elections you thought you will manipulate Malawians, They watched you stealing their votes with your bribes managed to bribe the judge and Mec all that God was watching and still watching your trcks dont think you will go scott free when His children are crying foul, check yourself you have limited time to show Malawians you are a better leader worthy rigging

  22. This president will not serve us he thinks he can buy people are with stolen money, barely with weeks ago he was pleading to us to be responsible citizens in paying tax and that there is no money for the government run efficiently . Today he is busy bribing journalists with K50 000, wait a minute, where did he get the money anyway? This president and his henchmen are bunch of thieves need to prosecuted.

  23. All people insulting the President and DPP will be surprised after DPP turns things for better Malawi.The problem with Malawians is short sight.Don’t espect things to workout today,its impossible even those making noise you can’t stand the heat Malawi currently the nation facing.Let’s unit and pave way forward.Do you this the likes of APM,Gondwe, Chilima etc can go to office to play ??? Guyz, let’s think tili ife

  26. Even Tenthani himself, he might have smiled at the money as he went back. The fact that somebody has opened the lid of the boiling pot, Tenthani has decided to talk. Guys, how many journalists were there who received these Mk 50,000s? Would one calculate and allowances for drivers and assistants! How much journalistsgate was it so that we have a point of reference when we talk to ACB?

  27. UDF, AFORD,MCP, NGO S,MCTU AND OTHER BODIES PLEASE INVESTGATE THIS —— WHY WAS IN THIS WAY —— AND NOT BEING OPEN ——– SOMETHING WRONG SOMEWHERE.

    A MALAWI TULO ——– MORE TO CROP.

    BUT I AM AFRAID UDF IS ALREADY BOUGHT

  28. Kuba mpaka pulezidenti, zamanyazi. Just release all the cashgaters if you say the president can steal or corrupt with impunity just because he is the president. Thus the ACB would have no reason for its establishment in this apparently cursed country.

  29. Majonalisitiwa amativutitsa kuti akufuna ma alowance akabwera ku maworkshop kwathu kudzafuna nkhani. Now they went to Sanjika to seek stories and were given money ndiye akupanga mwanonso. Does that mean akamabwera kumaworkshop kwathu to get stories and given monney, we are bribing them? Kuyambira lero, journalist no allowance at the workshop – ndi nthito yake.

  30. queen obama Xi putin uyu waku geremaniyu abe Malawi ndi yolemela. mumabvutikilanji kutipatsa tima tambala tanuto ife kuno tidzingodya. munya muona Amboma musadandaule mudzalandila January zonse ma aliyazi zokomza komza. salary tinakukwezerani koma sitikupatsai pano munye kaye.

    KODI CHILIMA ALIPO?????????????????????? KUBERA MAVOTI KONSE KUJA UNKABERA ALOMWE????????????????????????AKWANU KUDZUNJE PANO AKUVUTIKA NCHITO IWE ULIPHWIIII NGATI FRIDAY MAKUTA.

  31. Now things are making sense! If the first citizen bribes,what then of his siblings? APM pls give to me that position and see where i can take this country,or pls explain what for was that money?

  32. What is this happening?For how long?Lord Jesus come soon and rescue us from this corruption of highest order!!

  33. When you come to think of it, what Mutharika attempted to do with the journalists should not really surprise us . Here is a man who cheated his way to State House . Money, lots of money, must have played a big role in the cheating exercise . Should it surprise us that he now believes that bribery, which gave him the presidency, is the answer to all his problems? Maxon Mbendera, when are you also going to make a donation to one of the charitable organisations in town?

  34. how many journalist attended this function? in total how much was given? if only this funds were channeled to public works namawapatsa anthu ma 1000kwacha agulire feteleza ndi mbeu za ma 500kwacha am so sure even heaven could have smile at you but this olo zitakhala dola zathumba mwanu apa mwapanga za undele kwambiri am sorry but you dont pay people for listening to your speech listening is for free(free to air) i mean free to hear no free to listen free to take it free to believe it free to leave it and free to disbelief govt employees salary is in mess judiciary is on strike address those issues not anyamata amalembalemba wa aint this what you took from my gross salary that 45% if this is your weakness pray to God almighty he will help you to be a great leader M-dub has neva had

  35. I pity the president, APM has been black mailed by his own advisors. Please Mr President, fire these dudes as they are up to no good. You might have had a good intention to dialogue with the scribes, but the other guys spoiled the broth. Get to the bottom of it, who mooted this idea ? SHAME on them

  36. Corruption is two-fold opeleka komanso olandira, stono enanu musadzalembe, kuwulutsa kapena comment on currupt practices because you are currupt yourselves, mukuoneka kuti mumangosowa mpata, koma zitapezeka mukhoza kumathandizira ovtika, kupeleka ku chipatala, zina kugula sopo kkkkkkkkkkkkk pa Malawi.

  38. Tenthani’s nose and cheeks look like they have received and are hiding at least one million kwachas from the corruption enhancing Peter Mutharika.

  39. Education does not give one wisdom. Here we have a whole law professor bumbling about, clueless and without vision. This is typical A chair style. I am sure he advised him this. APM has just proven himself to be morally bankrupt. This DPP is just a collective of mafia and all you who subscribe to civility and morality leave that stinking hive immediately!!

  40. Kodi m’mene Malawi national imavutika ndalama za camp ma K50,000.00 anali kuti? Sibwezi ndalama zimenezi mutapeleka ku Nam kuti apatse ma queens kapena ma Flames iwedi wopusa Bwampini mwina ndi malangizo opusa amakupatsani Bakili eti!

  44. A malawi barking too much. Wolungama ndiwutiyo kodi? We are all in one way or the other corrupt. In churches, funerals et cetra ndalama zimabedwa. Despite being professionals, palibe angakane ndalama apa. Put yourself in the shoes and what could K50 pin do to you in a month?. Let us not cheat ourselves here, the majority of us are not employed and hardly earn this kind of money. Or even the majority of the jonos who went there maluzi ali thoo. instead of thanking APM for his generocity and do not forget that wolandila chakuba sabe napo. Muzafera chilungamo zisiru inu.

  46. what a shame this is pathetic that president doesn’t have any other way but to try and buy journalists with what is more than likely stolen loot. I hope the donors are watching all this . Fish always rots from the head. DPP thinks they can influence their corrupt ways. I hope some one deal with these thugs. We need a black spring in this country. The president should be ashamed of this corrupt behavior. I commend the journalists who are donating this stolen loot to a just cause.

  49. The “Nyasa Times” guys said they too, would be attending this event, remember? Well, if they did, how come they won’t tell us their own account of what happened? And what did they do with their K50,000, (or was it K80,000 if one includes their T&T and accommodation) ? Some things simply refuse to make any sense in our country!

  50. Malawi Broadcasting Corporation is completely finished now! all the reforms that JB introduced are no where to be seen. All we see and here on MBC is praising the president and leaking his boots! For example, when Joyce Banda’s name did not appear on the cashgate report, MBC didn’t talk much on the issue and were almost silent but later on after Lutepo implicated JB through ZBS, we saw MBC heavily publisizing the issue. Is this not stupidity or madness. Now the public broadcaster is no longer called Malawi Broadcasting Corporation but rather “Mutharika Broadcasting Corporation”. Please i beg our Mps to give these idiots another MK1.00 during the next budget because they are useless now. Zodiak is next in my comment…………………………..just wait

  51. Please members of parliament, i ask you to take this issue to the parliament and summon Peter Mutharika and company to explain why they had to bribe journalists. I now agree with APM that indeed Malawi is a failed state as he used to say before ascending to the highest office through vote rigging.

  52. hehehehehehe this is Mutharika and DPP in action. They have silenced Kapito and Company by assigning them to various boards now its Journalists’ turn. I wondered why an ethical journalist like Gregory Gondwe was so happy to pose with APM, knowing for sure that millions of Malawians are suffering in the village. What a shame? instead of our media professionals being a voice for the voiceless and marginalised and oppressed maltitude, they are now being used as a political weapon by politicians to devour the underprevileged in the society. Please i beg you journalists, don’t lose direction and vision with these thugs. We all know that this is just the beginning of many strategies that DPP government will employ to silence you, but truly speaking, i urge you to stand firm and reject any effort that will undermine your credibility as renowned journalists in the country.

  53. perhaps, the president really needs a qualified advisor on strategy and communication. How can the good professor stoop down so low? The little faith that I had in this ntchona is quickly diminishing. As for Tenthani, Look here, the man needs to reinvent himself. Bravo to Danwood Chirwa for his careful choice of vocabularly on demagogue.

  54. No wonder some of us are looking for federalism in Malawi.We cant keep on with this kind of trash leadership of buying the way through to the top through bribery.Ambendera analira mkati mwautsiku ngati zenizeni not knowing his was betraying Malawians with this kind of mediocre leadership.Tione mmene zithere.

  55. If this story is true, I have to say I am very disappointed. I like DPP, I think its a worthwhile party but I have sharp words for APM.

    I think very highly of you, dont let the pressures of high office dilute your integrity! dont start going down the same way JB went you will quickly lose credit. If you are doing the honest truth and if you are not afraid of anything then do not go down the path of bribing people because it does not work and you will lose respect!

    All you reporters take this money back to APM and tell him to walk the talk! He said there will be no cashgate on his watch and this is exactly how it starts! To keep it up he has to find more and more money to bribe people and malawi will not get anywhere fast!

  56. It is really very simple. It is well known who attended and received envelopes. Once the contributions to the fond have been made, an account of all the payers can be published, and that is it, honorably and clean. No reason to cry hypocrites before you really know what will happen to the cash afterwards.
    By the way, was the money distributed personal from the Prez, or from the DPP own coffers, or was it government money (your tax money), that should be the big question.

  57. What can you expect from the fake president who got through the backdoor?Its time the ACB dragged him to court because him too is not above the law.This is the man who claims to be so conversant with law and thinks palm oiling journalist is the right manner to survive on his self imposed throne through crooked means.No wonder Vp Chilima amawanena anzake pa msonkhano kuti mwangopsyatila michira ngati simunawine not knowing that his friends knows well that they don’t deserve those positions because they got their through crooked means.Pano muyaluka anthu alibe nanu ulemu.You have started showing true colours what type of people you are.Look how some journalist can be bought as cheap as a valueless K50,000.If George Kasakula had not brown a whistle that 50 pin would not hv been donated towards Limbani’s illness.Look how some cheap some journalist can be.koma umphawi ndiye walowadi pa Nyasaland ndi Zero defecit budget iyi.

  58. Aziphunzitsi mwaonatu chifukwa chomwe simukulandira ndalama zanu. A president anazitenga kuti atsekele pakamwa a tolankhani

    1. News ya Weekend ikoma zedi.
    2. Mwina nzeru iyi ndi ya Pilirani Phiri uja wa Zodiak uja.
    3. I can see a Pastoral letter coming soon, unless he has bribed the clergy already..
    4. I can see impeachment.
    5. I can see……

  69. I will take this story with a pitch of salt. It had to take a few postings for Tenthani to respond. If he was that concerned why didn’t he raise the issue immediately after in his Sunday Muckracking column. Where is the evidence that indeed he has donated his share to this fund. Also isn’t it surprising that out of all the attendees only 2 have come out what happened to the rest. We are being told half baked stories here and by journalists who have a strong dislike of DPP. Give us the full story but not half stories just to score points. Mwakamwera ma rider or kugulira another viscose shirt basi ubwele kumatinamiza ife pano.

  70. Impeachment is the only & best solution. Pitala ukozeke paulendo state house yakukulira you are mentally young ukule kaye tidzakuyesaso 2044 when you will be 104. Wachititsa manyazi dziko.

  71. That’s bullshit, bribing atolankhani wowowowowo mwatchela kumwezi baba nkhanga zaona. Nde muyaluka zaziiii. Aziphunzitsi akulira uku koma osamva, koma nde munawapezerereratu na akupulaimare eeeeeeh, ma supporting stuff aku judiciary nawo akubangula.

Go check ur dictionary ngati zimene zikuchitika mma public Universities ndi pro-la ta wanuyo zikugwirizana…

  73. This thing u call the president AKA mr ibu will take this nation nowhere.Kodi anyani a ACB ali kuti? professor owuma mutu ngati uyu sindinamuone

  74. I was just beginning to gain faith in leadership of APM, but I am afraid Malawi is up for more mediocrity. Perhaps, just to save name, APM should fire all those who ‘misled’ him into this silly plan.

  75. i hate you all scribes( by the way even nyasa & zodiak scribes received such shameful cashgated cash)…iv lost trust, now who should we realy trust? woe to all of you including you the BBC scribe,
    Jesus was sold with 3pieces of silver, scribes have ashamed themselves with a meagre K50,000. poor shameless greedy scibes.

    so all the nugging & noise you is bankruptcy? there is no excuse as to whatever reason you got the money, how did Goerge managed to return it?

    your shambolic minds have been murdered, calamity will follow you wherever you go. am not only sad & angry, but am also ashamed with your unfounded nasty behaviour. God is watching…..

  76. VOTE MUNAGULA KWA KENYATTA NDI MNZAKE MBENDERA !! MKUPITILIZANSO MCHITIDWE WOMWEWO KUGULA WANTHU WENA MMALO MOBWERETSA CHITUKUKO PONSE PONSE !!

    WANTHUTU AKUFUNA ZITUKUKO OSATI ZAMMANJA ZODYA LERO MAWA PALIBEPO !!

  77. Honestly guys? We are not that daft!! You guys maybe thought no one would know that you pocketed the money. Really sad! I think Peter and who ever came up with this idea are very clever guys: they know that by giving you guys scones, you will have no moral ground to criticise them for wrongdoing. How do you donate dirty money to assist an ailing fellow? That’s a very sadistic way of helping a friend…it is like justifying your corruption….And where is the ACB, by the way? Thumbs up to George Kasakula for being the only true journalist!

  78. U did the same thng to kapito now you wnt to bribe the journalists? Sory mr president u are in civilised country.gone are the days of worshiping leaders even if they are dowing wrong.Yr dayz r numbered bwana.

  79. Mr Nankhumwa, you might want to react ro this one through TV, radio etc as you did with the PP translation of Lutepos confession…

  80. Guys, why did you vote for APM? What were you looking for? You have ruined this country. It won’t recover under APM and DPP. Why did you betray Malawi by voting for DPP? Why? Look now, what are you going to do to reverse the situation?

  84. Silly journalists!!!! You have failed us your readers and we very suspectfull to all you write about bribes. Congrass George for giving it back. Giving or donating to Limbani is like a second thought because people have spoken but it is not yet late to give it back or use it in a court of law. go and give it to ACB SO THAT INVESTIGATIONS CAN BE INSTITUTED WHICH WILL BE SUSPENDED BY APM. SHAME MR PRESIDENT. THIS IS A NEW MALAWI. IMPEACHMENT FIT

  85. Kikikikikikikikikikikikikikikiki koma ziliko ku Malawi. Bwanji osakapatsa anthu osauka kumudzi amene akusowa ndisopo yemwe ochapila. Basi kufatsa kumapatsa ndalama zonsezo atolankhani cholinga asalankhule zakukhosi kwawo, izo,kikikikikiki zaululika mwayalukanso.

  86. THE DPP GOVT THINKS ITS VERY CLEVER BY DOING SUCH THINGS, WHILE THEY ARE WAISTING WHICH WOULD HAVE USED FOR DEVELOPING THE COUNTRY.

  87. In everything that Nankhumwa is associated with always turns out embarrassing and uncalled for likewise with anything associated with Malopa,Mr president you are in for a very big trouble and you won’t easily go off the hook and expect this case after your term of office you are the worst president we have ever had,the illegitimate one in everything.

  89. Can the State President Professor refute this too! How many refutations is he going to make and for how long is he going to do that and distract Malawians? He is simply clueless and confused. He thought running government was a childish business and takes Malawians for idiots!

  91. The result when authority is faked is to buy favours to sit in. APM never aquired the throne with grace from God and Malawians no wonder every good thing media post about him it bounces with negative arrows to public. just confess and seek forgiveness DPP what youd did the night of 20 May 2014

  92. musiyeni peter amasuke! wakupatsani matransport ndi ma allowance mwayambanso kumuukira. asatana inu simudzathekanso! anthu oipisitsa inu, akawalala.nanga chomwe walakwa munthu wamkuluyi nchani? kapena mudangozolowera kutsutsa eti?

  96. Koma Mr Ibu aka Peter WA Muthanyula wayamba udyo. Rumors are rife that the State House applied to NAC to fund this interface with journalists. Once a thief always a thief. Sanjika gate! Hahaha!

  98. kanthu ako!!!!!!!! there are three regions in Malawi, one specialises in ………………..another in farming and another one in education. Dada Mchizi is vindicated. Kanthu kanyeka

  99. This is stupidity at highest level. Bribing journalists by statehouse? Why not give the money to pooe folks in villages

  100. Kikikikiki. Malawi journalists caught with their snouts in the cookie jar trying to paint themselves as angels. Poto zavuta kale please do the right thing and contribute towards Limbani Moya’s kidney transplant operation.
