MCP confirms firing Kabwila, suspensions of ‘Nkholokolo’
Malawi Congress Party (MCP) has confirmed that its national executive committee (NEC) dismissed spokesperson Jessie Kabwila for alleged misconduct and that first-vice president Richard Msowoya and Secretary General Gustavo Kaliwo have been suspended.
Addressing a news conference at the party headquarters in Lilongwe on Tuesday, newly appointed MCP Publicity Secretary, Ezekiel Ching’oma said NEC has also suspended party Second Deputy Secretary General Chatonda Kaunda and Tony Kandiero.
He said the members will be summoned to disciplinary hearing sessions.
“NEC agreed to suspend these people pending conclusion of disciplinary process,” he said.
Ching’oma, who was flanked by public relations officer Alekekeni Menyani and others, said NEC has appointed Reverend Maurice Munthali as Deputy Publicity Secretary.
He also confirmed that that Wickford Sulamoyo is new party administrative secretary.
Wrapping it all Ching’oma said the party has also appointed Elsenhower Mkaka as Secretary General.
He also confirmed that the dates for party elective convention will be between April 4 and 8 at a venue yet to be disclosed.
Ching’oma has since vowed that MCP will continue speaking for the Malawians on all ills which Malawians are facing.
Press conference ya ku Lilongwe Hotel ija matiuza kuti akutumani zotsatira zake ndizimenezi.
I love Kabwira but DPP has loved her most
Apapa MCP yagufa kwambiri because voters in the north are always undecided since the demise of AFORD. This can be confirmed by their voting pattern.
Voters in the center and south are very decided and their voting decision is inelastic. Serious vote hunters always go for undecided voters. It is therefore extremely silly for MCP to abandon the north for the south. Anthu a ku m’mwela anaganiza kale zochita ndipo adzachita zomwezo; with or without Mia.
Komadi aswiswiri ayamba kunona, Mia was riding on the popularity of his late father, everybody in Chikwawa knows that. He is a businessman and he is going to use MCP to raise money for himself. I have warned you in MCP.
If Msowoya were unpopular as some misguided in MCP think, then he should have been replaced with someone from the region, otherwise remember chitsilu chiri ndi mwini.
Hatton, ndiye chamba chimenecho.
Wait for the post-convention activities before blowing your mind. Maurice Munthali is in the bag, so is Harry Mkandawire (touted for the second vice president position) and Cornelius Mwalwanda is also in the MCP bag. Then there are also young tested politicians from there in the MCP bag. Kezzie Msukwa is destabilising the DPP foothold there. So, dikirani kaye musanathe mau. Your Richard Msowoya is a failure. I am a northerner but would speak against him. He failed to sell MCP in the region, leading to DPP and PP scoring big there. His suspension is good riddance. After all, he is being used to destabilise MCP because he is DPP.
Blind loyalty to DPP, you will be suprised what the northerners will do in 2019
Gayezi, chilima sanhafanane ndi msowoya, chilima ndi smart motion kuti dpp tichotse chilima muzaoma momwe dpp ndi bwana Pitala adzalizile pomwe Amsowoya an go fun a udindo moral kwao kumpoto aline amayi ndiozikonda.
Msowoya ndi pumbwa. Anakanika kukopa anthu ku North ali yekha yekha ngati running mate. PP ndi DPP scored big there
Lembani zobveka achimwene. Sizikumvekatu zimene mwalembazi. kapena mwina nokha mukumva.
Shithole leaders don’t learn from past mistakes. Mugabe fired his vice, where is he? Bingu fired his vice, what happened? Why can’t you wait for a conversion which is not far from now.
MCP fired a confusionist, not vice president. Mind your business in DPP where big trouble looms. Why are you taking panado on someone else’s headache? Umafuna o Chakwera oziweta njoka? Why are you complaining, Msowoya and his friends said they are forming their new party, apite tiwaonere hahahaha
Good development to DDP
Mr 7777999 kumbukilan mawu a bingu za mngelo lusifala zimene anamupanga mulungu kumwamba tisasokoseletse nkhosa zambiri kamba la imodzi….a jesse ngati Ali khang’a kwawo adzawinaso koma ngati amoneka ngati wanzeru coz of chipan nde zake zada palibe chabwino.viva mcp viva Dr chakwera
This is a welcome move, even in our houses we discipline our own kids if they misbehave. The problem that madam Kabwira has is that she does not want to accept to be on a wrong side, she thinks she is always right.
Take for example the time she was at Chancellor College during the academic freedom fight with late Bingo, she was always on top of everyone. Now the same attitude is that which she is displaying in MCP. This is not an academic institution but a political institution with different agenda. Therefore in politics, it is not that people should see who you are but rather what you do with them on unity to achieve the common goal of the institution in this case the party. Lastly, she derseves the punishment but let reform herself and be back in the mighty MCP party.
You do not discipline people through unconstitutional means. This is surely MCP collapse. If Chakwera is failing to uphold party constitutional provisions, can he manage to adhere to national constitutional provisions? This so called man of God is surely a national disgrace.
I SUPPORT THE DECISION… NO ONE IS A KING AND QUEEN IN THE PARTY, THEY MISBEHAVE THEY GO.. ANATITOPETSA. MAKA MSOWOYA HE ADDS NO VALUE IN THE PARTY AS HE CANT EVEN BRING VOTES FROM THE NORTH YET HE WANT TO BE TREATED LIKE A MACHINE GUN NO WAY.
MCP has missed on this one. the way i look at the party now, it needs people who are fearless as Kabwila. MCP , i do not know as to when your wonders are going to end but this is your downfall. whats sort of party is this which cannot forgive its members who have wronged? Instead of keeping members within and come with real hard strategies for 2019 and you are busy firing members.
If you have eyes to see, see beyond the confusions in the party. otherwise time is passing and by the end you finish with your squabbles , time will be up to save Jerusalem.
You need people like Kabwila. wake up!!
Fearless on uhule or umthirakuwiri? Nawe usatinyanse apa titha kukuchotsa Mmalawi
This confirms fears that MCP has not changed. People cant be fired, or suspended because of holding an alternative view. This is definitely not democracy. Chakwera will regret this. His trust in Mia will turn against him. This co called man of God is in fact already captured by some rick tycoon, so if Malawians expect him to fight corruption, they will be very disappointed. I am now starting to imagine, DDP may in fact win in 2019
Its Peter Mathanyula Asslicker who will never change.
Congrats MCP this is what real polices should be. Ena munthu kuchita kuonekelatu kuti ndi wakuba osmuchotsa muchipani. Kuba Chimanga, kuwotcha office ku Capital Hill koma kumachisungabe mchipani. This only shows kuti chipanicho ndi cha anthu akuba
Alindifigatu Kabwira kikikiki. Ka natural beauty.
On a serious note, it looks MCP has finally lost the Salima plot. Sidelining Jumbe and Kabwira means sidelining Salima. Welcome to DPP you guys. A lot more and bigger could be waiting for you in DPP.
Ndatha ine Swiswiri, Mulomo wa Mulomole wa PAC.
We have seen Mia use his money to influence Chakwera and many others. Its all in front of our eyes but we pretend not to see. When MCP people are reacting to public comments, they argue only MCP members should have a say on such internal issues and yet they want to rule all of us. Does that make sense? Fact is Chakwera has a price tag. The diffrence is that he has not been bought by DPP or someone in GOVT but rather a bussinessman with bussiness interests.
Let’s see if DPP will continue giving the nkholokolos their evil cash.
DPP has cried foul (namalira wamkuku) on the decision by MCP more than anyone else cos their plans have been foiled with the removal/suspension of the “kaufiti”
If what MCP has done was a political gamble DPP would celebrate but now DPP is under panic
This could be anything ie it could be the pacification of the main opposition party MCP or it could also be the beginning of obnoxious turbulence.
This is a tough decision. I hope it does not bring hatred among the members. Members of MCP most of them are bootlickers. This is dictatorship in making. Any grouping cannot have the same views.
Can I ask Malawi and of good will wishing the country well form a party as quickly as possible to be led by Chilima. This is the time. Don’t wait for tomorrow. Guys and ladies from all regions kindly link up. The current 4 parties are undemocratic and tribalistic.
Chilima adzakhala president nduna yemweyo, mp, khansala? kuganiza mobwerelatu uku!!
Even in church there are disciplinary procedures. I wondered why it took long to reach to this decision. Let them form their own party and leave MCP alone. They cant do anything to bring down the party apart from being used by DPP as cadles of campaign for the rulling party.
MBC has been used in the same through a guy called Business. We will judge DPP through a ballot box
Yambitsa chako coz Our Chilima is too smart . he don’t think like a chicken the way you think. do u want to end his carear? IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!
hear him! hear him,true true. Chilima pls position yourself we are eagerly waiting to witness the formation of this party.
You must be out of your mind! Chilima? He is the one who has destroyed the country. If he didn’t steal votes for DPP all this could have not have happened. He is responsible for bringing DPP thieves into power and I would not want him to be my president! He is the biggest LOSER in this situation because DPP used him for the votes and then kicked him to the curb.
Guest!! This is nonsense. How can you propose such when the man you are asking to form the party is in the one of undemocratic party? Wasowa zokamba eti? Kakolope m’nyanja uko and give us a break please!
