MCP calls for Dausi arrest over MEC arson: Chilima given 7 days ultimatum to reveal more
Malawi Congress Party (MCP) has called for the arrest of Minister of Homelands Security, Nicholous Dausi, following revelations that he was behind setting on fire of Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) warehouse in 2014.

MCP director of elections Moses Kunkuyu made the call during a news conference in Blantyre on Thursday following revelations by UTM Party presidential candidate Saulos Chilima.
Chilima, who is also the country’s Vice-President, made the claims during a whistle-stop tour of Chitipa District on Wednesday when he accused governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) for being behind the missing of closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras at MEC offices in Lilongwe on Tuesday this week.
“It is DPP that have stolen the cameras from MEC. We are not surprised because it is the same DPP, led by Nicholas Dausi that set a MEC warehouse on fire in 2014. Let them sue me if they want to. We shall meet in court,” said Chilima, who was in the governing DPP when, on the night of July 15 2014, fire burnt the warehouse and destroyed some property, including ballot boxes scheduled for a vote recount in a contested Lilongwe City South East parliamentary election.
Addressing reporters in Blantyre, Kunkuyu said MEC should take Chilima’s revelations seriously and that it can vindicates their claims that the 2014 elections were fraudulent.
Kunkuyu said when there were demands for vote recount in 2014, the DPP, which had President Peter Mutharika and Chilima on the presidential ballot, “vehemently turned down such calls, further raising eyebrows by well-meaning Malawians.”
Kunkuyu also gave Chilima seven-day ultimatum to give Malawians a detailed account of what happened in 2014 regarding the torched MEC warehouses.
MEC declared DPP’s Bentley Namasasu as winner of the parliamentary poll with 10 956 votes against MCP Ulemu Msungama‘s 10 854, a difference of 102 votes.
But two days before a High Court hearing of the case, which followed a failed recount due to an injunction restraining MEC from going ahead with the process, the warehouse caught fire.
Hours after the arson, both MEC and MCP said they suspected arson.
University of Livingstonia political commentator George Phiri backed Chilima for revealing the person who was behind the burning of the warehouse and loss of CCTV equipment.
He further warned that Chilima is likely to spill more beans, saying: “I believe we will be having more revelations. We should expect more, especially on corruption.”

MCP can you please stop this useless crying about the anatibera thing for once and concentrate on the current elections coming!!!….that ranting is not helping you at all coz even village pipo know that an opposition party can not rig elections Malawi…DPP won the elections in 2014 credibly ….work your strategies well and you might win in 2024 and not now again…..make ur party a national one so that it should be able to get votes and win sits in all regions of Malawi not just banking hopes on 5districts of central Malawi,,,,stop aligning urself to pipo well known and tainted with serious corruption in malawi…u have already killed your chances of winning by bedding with a countrywide/worldwide big corruption/thief suspect…. already even our development partners abroad are seriously questioning ur seriousness on providing the best government to the pipo of Malawi….the low turnout at your njamba rally last Sunday should tell you something about the mistake u have made by bedding with the big corruption suspect known worldwide.
Moti dzina lako ndiwe history!! Koma angulu enawa……………..! I hate history and can’t read this………….!!
Muchipeta iwee shut up. Wayesa padambwe pano? Suunamve kuti Arafat anakanamu ku Chitipa thsat MEC cameras we stolen yet they were not. Enjoy the cashgate loot from JB with fake accent.
Chilima is equally responsible for this crime and has no moral ground to run for president
Says who???
This Chilima boy makes me sick. Let Police arrest him first for cashing salary and drawing government resources for sitting phwii. After that we wil take him seriously.
I think it’s high time Chilima tame his tongue when talking about some things…he might think by ranting senselessly like this he will put DPP guys in dip but alas he is digging his own grave……take it this way…dausi never went to torch the building himself..it’s some young guys…now wat if the whole DPP point fingers at Chilima as one who made the decision to have the building torched???….with evidence from 30dpp guys,Chilima won’t escape it but dausi will coz he never went to torch ….Chilima Chilima Chilima kunena kwa ndithendithe nanthambwe anazitengera!!! …..samala poyankhula …Atupele is always quite but he knows things..don’t think ndiopusa…you can’t win elections by being loud like that noooo….samala lilime lako!!!
Sometime back I was regarding Kunkuyu as a sharp guy. I was wrong. He is as dull as his ujeni. I registered merely to vote for Chilima. I wouldnt have voted this year. We are tired of trash. On May 20th, I will call my mum and Dad and all relatives to vote for Chilima, period.
Kunkuyu waiwala ndalama za ku ministry of education anakokola zija. Ku livulezi river ku ntcheu ana ambili apita ndi madzi such kuti amaolokera pa ntengo walking 6 miles ku school. Nzako anathawitsidwa akudya curry rice ku India as ambasada now.
Idiot kufuna kutiphimba mmaso.
Sipaja cilima u vice wake munammangalila pa kona asamalankhule kena kalikose?
Dikilani pa 21 pano
Why not arrest Chilima? If you know of a crime which you were an accomplice and didn’t report it isn’t that enough suspicion to hold him in a cell until investigations are concluded? This man is one of the worst crooks I have ever seen
Chilima knows he has a powerful Lawyer on his back , no wonder he speaks with such confidence
Cry my beloved MCP! Those PPs are there to break your party. How can Kunkuyu be spokesperson for my MCP???, JB, Sidik Mia, Harry Mkandawire, Khumbo Kachale…and the list goes on you call these MCP sympathisers???? Try to lose the vote on May 21 and you will see power struggles you have never seen before in MCP. That will be the end of Tambala Wa Kuda. Mark my words.
Kunkuyu is director of elections not mouthpiece. Maurice Munthali (REV) is the Publicist.
CHILIMA GAME YAMUKULIRATU APA MWANA WACHEPA NAZO IZI
MCP??? Musachenjera pakamwa paja Chakwera nkhani ya 4 billion ikumukhudza. Chilima can wake up and set your camp ablaze with some revelations regarding your entire camp. Be careful what you wish for
Chilima akayamba chonchi two or three days muona kenakake pa social media. But it’s too late for ultimatums of Dausi’s resignation with only less than two weeks remaining before cabinet is dissolved.
Kodi what can happen if with the cabinet dissolved there is an ermegency requiring cabinet decision, can APM & SKC meet?
7 days ultimatum, kikikikikiiiii
Kunkuyu, why don’t you concentrate on campaigning for your party which is failing to reach out to Malawians in the rural areas. Your conduct speaks volumes of how much your party envisages trailing last during the elections. Please don’t waste time fighting DR SAULOS KLAUS CHILIMA who has demonstrated beyond doubt that he is a good leader – a leader Malawians have been longing for since the passing on of Professor BINGU wa MUTHARIKA. DR SAULOS KLAUS CHILIMA has a very clear vision for Malawi – UTM MANIFESTO is a clear testimony to this.
Just like the hi5 agenda, MCP’s MANIFESTO is highly plagiarized with so many copy and paste statements and photos of unrealistic dreams without citing and acknowledging sources. MCP is headed for another fall. You will agree with me in the next 18 days.
I think the VP has immunity up to May 21.
If our leaders love this country, they must take an action on Dausi, Chilima ndi deal amwene, mawa atiuzaso yemwe anaotcha ministry of Agriculture offices at Capital Hill, is it the same Dausi? what goes up …. comes down………………
Chilima is not GOD fearing, not true patriot and not honest. He did not reveal all this because he was in the midst of fellow devils but now that he wants to be president, he starts talking a lot, not because he loves his country. He is not a patriot
its called ‘politics’ get with the program!!
Did Cyril Ramaphosa in South Africa reveal that Jacob Zuma had abused resources for upgrading his Nkandla home? But today he is president.
Next is atibera song by malawi cashgate party, dont panick mr kunkuyu ndi abusawo muyimbabe ya 2014 this year its only 18 days to vote 😎😎🤔😂
Chilima is not winning these elections….He is just a Crook not good to be president
Bola musatilande njinga za blue zomwe mwatipatsazo,misonkho yathu tikuinjoya ndipo tidzakwera pokalumbiritsa THE MIGHTY LAZALO.
When a country is ruled by thieves this is what happens: kusowa mankhwala mzipatala, katangale, kumawulula zobera chisankho chifukwa iwowo adwakana kuyimira dpp security breakdown.
this Chilima guy must confess more before his and his dad’s end on 21st May. God will always punish the wicked at his appointed time. watch out!!!
He will repent don’t be too quick being the Judge.. Judge Saint KKKKKKKKKKKK
KOMA YA APA MULI MU MPIRA TINGAMATI MA STRIKERS AMAKIDWA APAPA DPP IKUPUMIRA MUNKHWAPA
What about arresting Chilima for illegally holding the office of Vice President when he actually had lost the election. Why can’t the media ask Chilima why he is still holding that office if what Dausi did is indeed illegal. I Chilima has sank so low.
He is an accomplice in the crime by hiding envidence for a long time .This does not make him any better as he
is liable to prosecution. Those cheering him are doing that out of legal ignorance.
Wasting time while Chilima is living comfortably soon he gets his benefits still as a VP! Lets focus on other productive things folks!
Mr Kunkuyu, you have no right to give ultimatums to anyone. You were one of the most corrupt ministers under PP and the fruits of your corruption are there for all to see. Please climb down from your Range Rover and tell us where the cabinet sold the presidential jet to and what happened to the funds, what about the Nigeria oil deals?
We are tired of hearing claims that MCP won the 2014 election, what SKC was talking about was a single constituency in Lilongwe so dont try and lie to people that SKC has revealed that MCP won the election.
MCP can never win an election in Malawi, not with all the blood in its hands.
Iwe ukuzitcha kaya ukuti bigman ukuti MCP sinawine oti skc wakoyo anathandiza apm kubera, Ndipo ananena yekha. l think bigman you are a fool and you’re a thief chitsilu cha munthu
Inu a Tamalisha, kodi pamene mwatukwana nde mwatenga boma?
kaya zanu zo, ife nga nga pa Chilima basi. Come 21 May tizangochonga pa SKC, kuti Chongi!!!!!!!!! basi.

Nanu a Big Man just parroting what you have heard from others. Why is can’t these people be arrested if yu and your grandpa have any evidence against them?
Wise people will always make well calculated speeches to avoid contradictions.Mr.Pupulumeji ,this is not the way to hunt votes and convince Malawians that you can set Thames on fire after miserably failed them as VP.Your party,equal to the putrid dpp,has never even attracted a single vote from Nambazo,Bumphula,Tulonkhondo,Kasonjola,Kamtuwale and Lelebzya.The party for kabaza boys in the cities with no branches at Nyezerera ,Mbiza,Kasuza,Tembwe and Mtsiro.Just enjoy your pension,last salary from your boss Madzalamphuno and see the fall of your dreams.
Iwe ukuti kaya big man ndikuuze ulibe phavu zoletsa kunkuyu kulakhula za kuchipani kwanthu thawi yatha yoopseza wava tilipano kufuna chilungamo we dont care we are real malawian we are crying for our nation wy mbava kulamulira malawi God mulange mbava zonse zobera mavoti
let me tell you we are not shaken about the truth we want to know coz umboni ulipo chilima akunenena
muva madzi MCP NDINYAMULE
PALIBE ZOOPSEZANA HAHAHAH THAWIYATHA MAN TILITCHIRE KUKUYANG’ANANI NONSE MUKUDZITCHA MA BIGMAN PA 21 MAY PANO
Bigman, this what we call blind following.
MCP, you will never ever rule this country. You are very lucky that there’s anything still called MCP left in this country after the crimes that you committed on thousands of Malawians. We should have strung you up in the gallows after 1993 just like the Nazis at Nuremburg. How dare you run around this country shouting your Kwacha! nonsense. You should be treated the same as the Nazis are treated in Germany. Some of us are mature enough to know what your party was like, you will never ever rule Malawi. Atone and humble your miserable selves please.
MEC and law enforcers, you have a job here to arrest Dausi immediately. The VP is a very high official with a lot of information therefore this revelation should not be taken lightly. Am sure the VP has more revelations to make to Malawians
Bwanji mukulimbana ndi Chilima anthu inu,. he is the next president come May 21 2019. MCP, DPP, they must pack and go.
