Malawi police have no report of missing DPP monitors

June 29, 2020 Nyasa Times Reporter 22 Comments

Malawi Police Service (MPS) says it has not received any report or particulars of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) monitor, who is said to have died as well as the 12 DPP monitors who are reportedly missing after allegedly being abducted by Tonse Alliance  followers during the June 23, 2020 fresh presidential poll.

Deputy Commissioner of Police Noel Kayira: No record on DPP monitors missing or dead

The deposed ruling party, through its publicity secretary Nicholas Dausi claimed that about 15 of its monitors were assaulted by MCP and UTM followers during the elections and that 12 of them are missing.

This was followed by a claim by United Democratic Front (UDF)  president and running-mate for the DPP-UDF alliance Atupele Muluzi that one of the monitors had passed away.

Ousted president Peter Mutharika, who was torchbearer for the DPP-UDF alliance repeated the claims on Saturday, but just like Muluzi, fell short of mentioning the name and particulars of the deceased monitor and the missing ones.

However, Deputy Commissioner of Police Noel Kaira, who was in-charge of security issues during the historical presidential poll says the police have no single record of the missing monitors let alone details of the deceased monitor.

“We expected the claimants to report the missing of the monitors as well as the death to any police station but as I speak now, we do not have any report or particulars of any individual who is missing or has lost his or her life as a result of the political violence,” said Kaira.

The statement by police has now left people wondering how a party which was ruling when the said incident occurred could fail to report the issue to police.

Dausi was Minister of Homeland Security while Muluzi was Energy and Mining Minister in the previous administration.

  1. What else can one expect from police under mcp government, police under chimwendo banda who openly called for violence in this country.

  2. This whole shit sounded suspicious from the start. With a straight face, Dausi claimed that his party’s monitors have been kidnapped by a kang’wing’wi/pedegu joint hit-squad. Unfuckingbelievable!!!

  7. We knew that was fabrication by dausi and dpp/udf bunch, kikikikiiiiiiii. This explains why they tried very much to stop the elections cause they knew they were going to be obliterated. Welcome to the opposition benches.

    1. Unfortunately, it helps nobody to have liars, cheats, thieves and ahule on the opposition benches.

  10. Dausi, Muluzi and Mutharika should be taken to task to explain the claims as musings about abductions are serious matters.

  11. A thief is a thief. I have doubts on the total registered voters as well. Only 64% as voters is very low. where are the two million people who did not vote? The election wind was everywhere. Something fishy.

  12. May be the records are with the Department of Wildlife since the alleged abductors are gule wamnkulu caricatures and not humans

    1. The report is saying, they have not receive any of this issue in their Office, not that they have failed to find the missing monitors! umbuli umene mumkakana kupita ku school ndiye ndizizmnezo.

  13. That’s DPP for you. When they say the sun sets in the East, start looking in the West.

      1. Please forgive the young Muluzi. He was given about 4 billion by adadi for campaign and after going round the country he reported back to adadi that people all over the country were ready to vote for adadi. He now has no choice but to cry the loudest so that adadi still has confidence in him.
