Malawi new ‘holy’ govt: Promise what you can do, and do what you promise

1. Holly Govt when mkwiyo is written all over the face of your judicial-coup president Chakwera? The guy has been in office barely a week but he has already arrested dozens on petty politics issues and you call that hyena holly? Fotseki!!! APM was the best leader by all standards. He was not full of vengeance. Ask Mrs cashgate Joice Banda and Timothy mtambo to confirm this. If APM was as heartless as this Mr Covid Chakwera, both JB and mtambo should have been behind bars now.

2. Mwayamba kale kukumbukila kwa iguputo sitinathe ndi mwezi womwe…shameful.

   Just like a few chiefs in the south were on the side of atsamunda when all Malawians wanted self rule and independence in 1959, it is not surprising that their grandchildren today like the Itimus are following their ancestors line of thinking, it’s in the blood they say.

   First of all it is important to remember that the new government has come in at a time when DPP has plundered govt resources because they knew they were going to lose the election.

   The new govt has to manage their promises with the little resources that was left and on top of that we have a pandemic which is having an impact on tax collection…..these issues does not need a scientist to understand.

   The fertiliser subsidy this year is just the beginning of better things to come, give the new govt space and time.

   When a family goes to bed on an empty stomach, even kids understand when they know that their parents did everything they could, but if the same happens because the dad in the house took all the food money to drink beer then that’s a different issue.

   I would rather suffer under the Tonse alliance govt so long as I know they are trying everything they can to uplift the lives of all Malawians rather than suffer under the DPP regime when I know they are stealing money to enrich themselves and a fraction of their tribesmen….

   1. I cannot agree with the claim that the DPP plundered all the resources becoz they were going out. The following are the reasons:
      1. There is no government since independence has ever left the economy on a sound footing. Eg inflation is at single digit, exchange rate very stable, donor funding is on and interests still at 13.5%
      2. Foreign reserves not less than 3 months.
      3. The budget had just been presented.
      4. Pro-poor programs on the ground
      So, it is not true that the previous govt plundered resources. On top of that Chakwera and his friend knew the economic situation of the country when they were making their wild promises. So, please, stop defending for their failures. The promise of fertilizer was universal and not only two bags. So, this is the test of their promises and should be now.

3. Ukanama sikuchedwa kucha lero ndi izi mmalo mobweretsa universal subsidy angoti I we we iwe eee timatumba tiwiri tiwiri ta fertilizer SHAME.Cry my Beloved Holy Tonse Alliance Party

4. It is a 5 year term NOT a 1 week term of office

5. Tonse has already scored a point.If 3.5 farmers will access fertilizer Malawi wa bwino wodya katatu wayambika.This is number one problem hunger to many malawians.for 26 years of democracy.zaka zopanda njala 3.Za njala 23 chidziko chimenecho.koma kuba basi.koma kusapota achair adadi atu.nonses.

6. Which sins are you talking about.If you are a dpp udf sympathiser you can go to jupiter kuti muzikachita zanuzo za mitundu kuba regionalism za chipemvedzo you are free but our tonse is that if sonething is not good we are all responsible thats the difference

7. Itimu, start with accusing Pitala for not making Malawi look like Singapore in 6 YEARS. That was his promise in 2014. Sorry that TONSE Alliance has disappointed you in 6 DAYS. However this change will be gradual and painful for you because DPP has stolen everything. Malawi was left in the hands of thieves for 6 years and there’s a lot to be fixed and recovered for Pitala and his mafias. We all know you’re a beneficiary of government plundering. Your name tells it all.

8. Fotseki, you can’t start taking them to task. They are not using their own money, they have to first recover all that stolen money re-channel it to fertilizer for instance. No Government can come up with such funds to deliver services on day one, certainly not with looted economy the like that DPP has left. So, kindly rethink your article..

9. Itimu wa UDF? Don’t you know this is just a provisional budget to keep the country running for the time being while tikulanda ndrama zomwe DPP ndi UDF anaba?

10. I can understand that the Tonse Alliance are having opposition from the media but i didn’t expect you to be one.You know very well the way how dipipi messed the government right now you can’t say that all Pitala promised he fulfilled,that is the total lie

11. Nyapapi promised us Singapore

    1. After his five years term failed to turn malawi into Singapore then he thought of turning malawi to America in his dreams after taking red wine. Am also thinking of the vision 2020 ija ya bakili muluzi Kuti aliyense adzakhala Kaya Amati magalimoto magetsi madzi amipopi zilikuti? Anthu pa campaign amalonjeza zambiri . Let’s see how tonse alliance will perform for Malawians.

12. Kondwani Nankhumwa as leader of opposition is much much better than this stupid journalist . The heading itself tells a lot of how bitter you are.
    You mean you don’t understand the meaning of provisional budget? You think all promises will be achieved in a single year? Kani ndiwe galu chitsiru chotere?

13. Tilitonse won the elections premised on lies but the sad part of it people would not blame them because they already demonized APM.
    Just one week into government
    1. They appoint Chikosa Silungwe as attorney General who is also claiming MK 9.7billiom as legal fees. If these lawyers would charge such money, these people should have been flying jets. This was an arranged theft by the court and the petetioners.
    2. Passport at MK14,000
    3. Universal fertilizer yet they are now saying it will target 3.5 m
    3. Ending all albino cases within 7 days. Yet there is nothing.
    4. Bullet train from Blantyre to Karonga.
    5. Life style audit.
    6. Conclusion of Chasowa, njaunju and Nsudwe cases.
    7.Conclusion of midnight 6 case.
    This government comprises certified crooks and piers.

    1. Nthawi zina kumakhala ngat kuchenjera koma kuli kupusa,provisional budget can not carter for all the promises made,even a financial budget for a year can not hundle all the promises at once.We know the leadership will come thru in time koma kungot anzathunu mtima ukuwawa nde tikukunvetsetsani.Peter wanuyo analonjeza zinthu zambiri zomwe sanapange kuti tizitchule mpaka tsiku lonse kutha,chanzeru anapanga ndikusankha Chilima in 2014 as his running mate,the rest kaye amachita kumupangira chifukwa chokalamba.Peter is the worst president that Malawi will never have again.These past elections have just shown us that Malawi still has 1.7 million fools in the name of dpp supporters.Mwina xool imakuvuta,let me indulge u abit,Malawi has 18 million people,on average a single home has 5 or 6 people that makes 3 million homes,so if the fertilizer is targeted at 3.5 million people it means every household can purchase the product,you are just a fool to see this

       1. @Brown If a person disagrees with your views, you have to accept just that. You can not call them uneducated or fools. The 1.7m people who voted for DPP are not fools, they exercised their constitutional right to vote for who ever they wanted. Like wise there are many who voted for Tonse alliance not because they like Chakwera or Chilima, no!. They were attracted by the message regarding universal fertilizer, low passport fees etc. Surely they should be concerned to hear that the universal fertilizer they hoped for is no longer universal, it’s targeted to 3.5 million people. The population census of 2018 indicates that people of the age of 18+ are 8.7m and 90% of these are married fending for themselves. Going by calculation of the allocated bags of fertilizer leaves about 4million people in cold. The provisional budget should cater for 100% in all variable and fixed costs of all cost centers but the fertilizer cost element has been slashed more than by half causing a genuine concern.

          1. So according to the census 8.7 m are married does that make 8.7 million families or half of it, that means we have about 4.35 million families and all of them are not farmers that 3.5 million target is very good, because people amaona ngati apeza business yogula fertiliser ku Malawi kumagulitsa kunja mwaopobda

14. Kadeti wopusa iwe you think beam would have come on air announcing the billions and then steal ??

15. Koma first tilande ndalama zomwe dpp yaba.

16. Itimu, I suggest the best group of people that you needed to address in your writings were Malawians, and NOT MCP!! Sincerely your write up has strongly demonstrated that you know nothing about how a party goes into government! Iwe why should MCP and not Malawians appreciate ideologies of dpp when its not them (MCP) that put a party into government! You seem to have a lot of grudges against MCP Itimu……why? Ngati kuganiza kwake ndi kumeneku ndiye mukhala nthawi yayitali ku opposition ndithudi!! EEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. moti pali iwepo ukuona kuti MCP has to be appreciating something from dpp?? Appreciating what? Corruption, nepotism, tribalism, regionalism and many others……………… isms, awansoooooooooooo!!

    Waiwona nyenkweeeeeeeeeeeeeetu iweeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! Ndiye usanati, dikila kaye uuwoneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

17. Cry me a river

18. The writer is a beneficial of plunder by peter and his fellow crooks, dpp never managed to do the little Mcp has started within 3 days. Arrests has started will end we never know, the most useless administration in our history ever. 90% of people in dpp are corrupt and tribalistic.

19. Brilliant article. Only those dont understand english will oppose. CASHGATE NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED NOW

    1. muchila

20. Useless article written by a useless fool.

21. Useless article from remains of DPP in the name of Harry Itimu! Peter Mutharika promised and never delivered! Mombera University, Jenda Road through Embangweni, Livingstonia Road from Rumphi etc. There are so many such ‘projects’ that have not taken off and myopic Harry Itimu thinks Mutharika has been a performer! Peter and his wife Gertrude are also thieves who have siphoned money from government for their personal use, and am looking forward to their arrest and imprisonment! Are you in Malawi to miss all this? Chakwera and Chilima have been in office less than a week and you are already rating them! The cheap fertiliser will initially be sold to 3.5 million Malawians and will later be raised so that everyone in tha country has access to it. Medef will be improved on, again, so that the youth countrywide benefit because as the situation has been recently, only Itimu’s likes (DPP) have been benefitting from the scheme. Itimu should wait – we are currently plugging the holes used to siphon government cash and soon you will see that what the alliance promised is being delivered.

    1. Musiyeni Che Itimu ndi wa UDF uyu ndayimba naye school, amayembekeza Peter kuti awine , ikatha miyezi isanu Peter atule pansi apatse Bwampini Austin. Itimu senior is Avery good friend of Bakili Muluzi

22. mwafulumula ma cadet kulila dikilani tikhazikike tikonze kaye motulukila chuma chathumo kenako tilande munaba zija then we can now show you what we have I understand you have seen the wholesome provisional budget rate our tonse alliance with that

23. Count how many lies DPP said and did not accomplish in 6 years before you blame a government which has not been inaugurated. Why are you using different measures?

24. You have clearly shown your colors and commenting before getting the real information. You have demonstrated your poor journalism skills, go back to school to learn report writing

25. You can’t even understand what’s contained in that few paged provisional budget what more when the entire budget is out? Please do ur research before writing otherwise you are embarrassing yourself. Go back read the provisional budget and come again here with facts. By the way where is Singapore Mutharika promised us before promising us USA ?

26. While it is true that leaders have to deliver what they promised i beg to differ with the author of this article based on the following
    1. He lies that Peter never promised what he could not deliver. I wonder if you are living in Malawi and you have been following the campaign promises of 2014. Where is the Mangochi airport? where is the Mombera university? these are just a drop of examples that i can give of things he promises but never delivered until his term finished. Why he lost this time around is because people were judging him based on his failed promises.
    2. It is true Tonse alliance got popularity with the universal subsidized fertilizer and now we are told of 3.5 million people/families will access. It isn’t universal but quite a big jump from the DPP subsidy. If you read what the president wrote, you would understand that he indicates that this will be incremental until the universal access is reached. We are judging the failures of DPP after their term. Do not judge Tonse alliance less than a week in office

    I would say Peter never fulfilled promises. The Tonse alliance is yet to be judged.

27. Your Peter Muthalika is gone,whatever you paint you paint him is useless,him is absolutely stupid since he was minister of education up until his presidency that dog has achieved to steal money and build his Mangochi house and whatsoever.Agalu inu ndi DPP José.

28. Mr Itimu ndiwe cadet wamkulu ulemu wanu, koma wang’omboka! Si uphula kanthu, Malawians have spoken through their vote, they were excising their birth right no one can snatch away from them. DPP & UDF will be on the bench for the next 52 years!
    It is too early to judge the performance of Tonse Alliance in 5 days but we supporters are so far very happy with the progress made by the Alliance which is bearing tangible fruits.

    Pliz wait and see!!!!!!!!!!

29. Itimu you are a living fool, Why you are failing to remember that your president Peter promised us that Malawi will be like Singapore once he elected to presidency, and that he will turn this country like America , you are idiot

    1. Itimu you are a cadet and the article shows all your colours as UDF cadet sent by Atupele. You are all useless people. How do you expect a provisional budget to answer all promises. Wadya nawo zakuba iwe wuzilavula. Njala times has become a cadet spokes media. Muzako ndi Fiko. Mwina ndiwe amene wangosintha zina to itimu

30. nexium omeprazole singulair coupon zovirax otc canada cymbalta 80 mg buy ivermectin where to buy flomax

31. The beginning of fickle poltical leadership caught up in the plight of ordinary people left to salvage what they can from the misfortunes of voting such leaders into power.

32. Useless and meaningless write meant for the dust bin ab initio.

33. Ndinu anthu ochepa okha amene muli Singapore, leave us who are in Malawi enjoy the change we have, idiot

34. Stupid cadet.

35. Nonsense. DPP promised 10,000 police houses which they never delivered. They promised mombera university and airports in Mzuzu and Mangochi… All of which were never delivered. Just shut up and wait and see what Tonse alliance will bring

36. Itimu like APM are still in denial. Things have really changed man. It was lies like that he (APM) will develop Malawi to the likes of Singapore, which are so glaring that I am surprised you have already forgotten them. You know, we Malawians are not foolish. We will hold our government to account when we know it is time to do so. You, on the other hand, are doing so not because you love mother Malawi, but because you are a mercenary employed to shoot down the government which is now in power. You don’t see things objectively because you have been given a mission to accomplish and your paymasters are watching. We Malawians have fought for this hard-won freedom from DPP. We have also liberated ourselves from people like you who are selfish and do not wish our country well. You Itimu will have to start looking at things objectively before you can tell us something we will believe. You betrayed the common man in Malawia long time ago and Malawians have moved on from people like you. Get another life man.

37. 1 Corinthians 11 verse 1 Paul says that we have to emulate him as he emulates Christ Jesus. To extend K15 billion to K40 billion is quite significant. Please be educated that Rome was not belt in a single day. How many days, hours, minutes and seconds has president Chakwera and his deputy been in office ? Do you expect supernatural to happen ? Please let’s be honest in our thinking and not let frustrations due to us not winning rule our good minds. Let’s build Malawi together after all it remains our beautiful country.

38. AI was disappointed when the new president started his job with lying in public. He should repent? How many young people were going to university in his time? how many are going this time? comparing the two ndikupanda nzeru. Of course am not surprised; the guy lacks confidence, hence he changed his English. Shame.

39. Let’s wait for new govern and give prayers to Chakwra to heal the country.

40. CAN YOU ALSO INVASTIGATE NICK CHAKWERA AND HIS MILLIONS FROM ASIANS A ZODIAK NDI ENA, KOMA DPP ITS NOW PERSONAL, LOOK AT RAINBOW TV AKAPANDA KUYIKA NKHANI YA DPP THEY ARE NOT HAPPY I THINK DPP A=IS AVERY POWERFUL BRAND LEAVE THEM ALONE THEY ARE OUT OF GOVERNMENT

41. Mr Itimu we know that you’re a UDF agent this is crying. Wait for 100 days then start talking that then 1 year & come trll Malawians the same then we stand eith you not now. Keep that to yourself. The matrer of the dact is tgat people rejected Mulhako government. If Tonse Alliance government will do their mistakes let Malawians be the judges come 2025.

42. Koma ya fertilizer yokhayi afunsidwe ulendo tisanafike patali kapena mwina ine sinnamve bwino anatitu universal subsidy osati anena my budget zi

    1. Universal for smallholder farmers. The Ministry of Agriculture has the number of smallholder farmers at 3.5 million. Smallholder farmers will also be able to get AT LEAST 2 bags and NOt a maximum of 2 bags as erroneously reported.

43. Mwayamba kale kukumbukila kwa iguputo sitinathe ndi mwezi womwe…shameful.

    Just like a few chiefs in the south were on the side of atsamunda when all Malawians wanted self rule and independence in 1959, it is not surprising that their grandchildren today like the Itimus are following their ancestors line of thinking, it’s in the blood they say.

    First of all it is important to remember that the new government has come in at a time when DPP has plundered govt resources because they knew they were going to lose the election.

    The new govt has to manage their promises with the little resources that was left and on top of that we have a pandemic which is having an impact on tax collection…..these issues does not need a scientist to understand.

    The fertiliser subsidy this year is just the beginning of better things to come, give the new govt space and time.

    When a family goes to bed on an empty stomach, even kids understand when they know that their parents did everything they could, but if the same happens because the dad in the house took all the food money to drink beer then that’s a different issue.

    I would rather suffer under the Tonse alliance govt so long as I know they are trying everything they can to uplift the lives of all Malawians rather than suffer under the DPP regime when I know they are stealing money to enrich themselves and a fraction of their tribesmen.

    1. Some chiefs were on the side of atsamunda at independence as we’re all achewa or achipeta on the side of the authoritarian and iron fist one party state when we wanted to go multiparty democracy.

44. Thumps up for you Harry. This is what we call objective writing and calling a spade a spade. It’s hardly a week into the government and promises are being broken. What are we going to see by the end of the 100 days? This government is starting like the Trump government in USA condemning the predecessor and lying about themselves. Shame 🤦‍♂️

    1. this is s harry let us tonse alliance work first judge us after a year

    2. Wait for the 100 days! Peter failed to deliver in over 5 years and you expect others to deliver in one week? Poor thinking!

    3. Kudos for coming up with such a sound intelligent piece of writing. All you have pointed out is spot-on. In life people tend to clap for mediocrity without thinking, only to realize that their act was ill-timed.

       Surely, it makes no sense to promise poverty stricken and illiterate people the moon when you can not even afford a simple flickering light. But as usual, Malawians will remain as such till the end of the world. The point is that all the promises made are just too good to be true and it takes an idiot to bite the bait. Not very long from now the same ululating masses will turn around and look at the little things they chose to discard only to rush for semi-precious nonsense, that their choices were wrong. Unfortunately, it will be too late to reverse things. The previous government kept on advising people that there is a scourge known as coronavirus but they said all they were trying to do was to stop an election. Today people are dying and just because warnings are coming from Chakwera and Chilima, the same people are now heeding the advice and even pointing accusing fingers to APM and company. Really?**@

       As rightly said, all this follows the USA scenario whereby Trump puts the blame on Obama even when he goes around telling people lies. Now God is always good and justified. Trump has Covid 19 on his doorstep. Will he continue to point an accusing finger at Obama? Chakwera and Chilima are basically following suit; who are they going to place the blame on? If you choose to lead by lies, chicanery, crookedness and looking for someone to blame; in no time you are caught in the open with nothing to show to your idiots. “Give them the benefit of doubt” we will do exactly that and time will tell.

45. Holy Govt? Tiona

46. Next time you write, please make sure the story or whatever you call it makes sense. Stupid type of writing.

    1. My thinking as well. Do your research first before peddling lies here. MEDF was not meant for Malawians but rather for DPP cadets and Lhomwe people.

47. If there is duddy of duddy its Peter Muthalika and up until today I believe if Bingu bwas live could not allow Peter Muthalika to take over the mantle of presidency of Malawi. This man is completely useless. People were tired of his lies in the sense of laying foundation stones through the country nothing worked out to benefit Malawians. He promised Malawians to turn the country into Singapore only to realize that even himself he has not built a house not buying but building. What a hero is this old man. Muthalika failed the country big time and loss was expected from every Malawians. How can you win the heart of people if you love your tribes men only and heart other tribes from other regions. Thanks 50+1% voting law now to be enacted.

48. DPP Cadet walira mokweza. You will cry till 2025. Useless article.

    1. Not 2025, but till 2045

49. We will start and finish by arresting Mr Arthur Peter Mutharika on K145m bribe and Gertrude Mutharika on theft charges. Malawians will be happy.

50. If they say we will construct an airport in Mangochi, did they mean is a day one project? Expansion of 15 Billion loan to 40 Billion, did they say that they have stopped there or they will continue? How many subsistence farmers are there in Malawi? DPP pegged at 1 million farmers… is it not a mile to have 3.5 million farmers?

    1. It’s not about doing things in a week. We all heard about universal subsidy not increasing the number of beneficiaries from 1 million to 3.5 million.

51. Show me where the former govt did all of its promises first week. If you expect complete change today,you are mistaken. Change takes ,you can ask even peter mutharika.

    1. Well-said!!!

    2. Mawu!!

52. Show me where the previous govt did some of the things it promised in it’s first week. If you expect change today then you in the wrong country.

53. Good advice indeed. We want nothing but the truth.

    1. They also promised stipend for the elderly, but provisional budget is silent.

       1. Mubangula simunati. You are saying yourself that its a provisional budget.

          Kudos to the Minister of Finance who had less than 24 hours to present that budget in parliament. Genius!!

54. Who said that Malawi will be like the US or Singapore by 2025? Is that not promising Malawian lies. Please stop defending APM here.

    1. Is this 2025 you fool?

55. Mr Itimu mwafulumiratu osadekha kaye bwaaa?? DPP is gone Malawians rejected it no matter how you can praise it, we don’t need anybody to see on our behalf, we have eyes and able to see, stop making noise.

56. Am not sure promising to bring Malawi to the level of Singapore, Germany etc. was realistic.
    Mombera University was promised and am not sure that was delivered.
    Give Tonse Alliance a chance, you cannot judge them within a few weeks.
    Previous Government had 5years plus…, and the current Government has just turned switch ON.
    So hold on your breath and judge the current Government after the same amount of time so that can compare apples and apples, not apples and oranges.

    1. You are absolutely right. Not even a few weeks. Just a week and so much negativity.
       Besides we all know the present budget is an interim one. These guys haven’t had any time to even sit down and look at the figures etc. They had to hit the ground running.
       Give them a break. Even then looks like their achievements and their way of doing things so far show signs of being much better than the 6 yrs the past government has ruled.

57. well put

    1. “Better than others” Try to compare yourself with yourself bwanji. . Banja lomayelekeza ndi laena silimatheka. Ndiye with the comparing attitude you will fail; i can assure you; half of what Bingu Wa Mutharika did in five years you will not achieve.
