MCP hits back at Mutharika over violent attacks accusations
Main opposition the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) has hit back at President Peter Mutharika, saying it is his Democratic Progressive Party which promotes violence in the country.
MCP publicity secretary Reverend Maurice Munthali was reacting to Mutharika’s address to the nation last night in which he accused the MCP president Lazarus Chakwera of promoting violent attacks.
Munthali said the accusation against his party was unfortunate and an indication that the DPP administration lacks direction in running government affairs.
“The statement by the President is attempting to divert people’s attention from the issue,” said Munthali.
Mutharika also described rumours about blood suckers as a political strategy by opposition parties.
In the special address on Tuesday, Mutharika said Chakwera is encouraging acts of violence against members of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) who have had their houses torched and their property destroyed.
According to Mutharika, Chakwera has ordered his followers to catch and kill innocent people who are reported to be collecting national identity (ID) cards from villagers.
“As a supposed man of God himself, I want to appeal to Reverend Chakwera’s conscious that we are dealing with God’s people and these people are already distressed with coronavirus.
“Let us love Malawians, every life is precious,” said Mutharika.
On rumours about bloodsucking, Mutharika said political leaders are creating the rumours to cause panic and distress among Malawians.
“They are creating these rumours purely for political gain. First, they spread the rumour then they label some people as suspects and they mobilise people to kill those innocent people,” said Mutharika.
He added that the creators of the bloodsucking rumours have vehicles and they move around at night in the Central Region where they intimidate and kill people.
Mutharika also connected the rumours to the 2020 presidential elections saying similar rumours spread in the Southern Region prior to the 2019 elections.
“We know this is a political strategy for some people who want to create panic to suppress people from registering for the 2020 elections,” said Mutharika.
He then thanked the Malawi police for arresting 158 people suspected of being involved in mob justice and criminal acts related to the blood sucking rumours and political violence.
The Malawi leader ordered the Malawi Defence Force to work with the police in intensifying patrol to ensure Malawi remains a country of order and peace.
But Munthali said Mutharika should not bring in politics in very serious issue.
“He should not bury his head in the sand. Malawians know that it is the DPP which unleashes cadets to terrorise people,” he said.
Munthali said Chakwera and the MCP are peace loving.
At least a dozen people have been killed due to the blood suckers myths and superstitions.

Zoti kuli democracy simukuziwa? Apumbwa inu a DPP
May Muntharika knows that the time is gone for him to tell lies to the nation his time is over,your days are numbered
DPP will pull through.
MCP should not waste time responding to useless views of a senile old man who is so desperate to cling on to power at all cost.
We have a far big problem on our hands as a nation and I would expect MCP and all opposition parties to be pushing the government on how they are or will handle the covid 19 issue in our country.
At the moment I have heard nothing from the government on what they are doing to increase capacity in our already overloaded intensive care units to accommodate the inevitable covid 19 patients. Nothing on the procurement of ventilators, intensive care beds and PPE for our exposed health care workers.
This is what the opposition should be doing holding the government to account and not responding to useless rhetoric from the government which every sensible Malawian knows that it is just a ploy to divert attention from the real issues while they are stealing money from the covid fund…..coronagate.
How did beautify Malawi get the K1 billion from the coronavirus fund, why are the coronavirus committee members getting obscene amounts of allowances while asking other Malawians to be patriotic, how has the K15 billion coronavirus fund been used? These and many more are the questions that all Malawians want answers for and the government cannot provide the answers easily and that is why we need the opposition parties to put the government on the spot and expose the thieving that is going on day and night in this DPP government….
Leave our Chakwera alone. We are aware that the Peter is having sleepless nights over him.
We can’t leave Chakwera alone when is inciting, organising and sponsoring violence, blood-sucking rumours and the killing of albinos.
Himself is a blood sucker chakwera
Peter Mutharika knows that Chakwera won last year’s presidential elections and is currently very scared of him. He will say anything to discredit Chakwera. Mutharika also knows that his DPP is collecting people’s Ids in the central region with the aim of disenfranchising them. He also knows that under age youngsters (and Mozambican nationals) are being given the national ids to broaden their voting base. Mutharika also knows that the ‘blood sucking’ myth is NOT being created by Chakwera.
Unfortunately the people surrounding him are not telling him the truth but are telling him what he is obsessed with and would like to hear, that Chakwera is the culprit in all the unrest and killings in the country.
Chakwera is a terrorist and MCP is a terrorist group.
Terrorism is in your brain Lola..
Abusa bwererani pa Pulpit chitonzo chithe inu ndinu munthu wa mulungu zandalezi musiileni Saulosi ndi enawa …inu ndinu munthu wa Mulungu osati muzinyozedwa chonchi komanso paja Saulosi wakuuzani kale kuti saimva akufuna iyeyo akhale President basi musiyireni akhale iyeyo …
How is the Govt doing on PPE and Covid 19 Preps?
And please stop calling him ‘reverend’. Chakwera has no reverence in him. He is now a seasoned bloodsucker who bankrolls terrorist groups such as the one in Nsundwe.
With his recent waves of terror attacks and destruction of property, chakwera does not know that he has actually caused more misery and mayhem on his fellow chewa people of central region than anybody else. This stupid Chekwera thinks he can assume power by intimidation and force. Izi ndi ndale zachikale za one party system.
Chakwera must ask APM how to get into power from the opposition bench. It is all about peace, peace and peace. People love peace that’s why DPP shall always be in power.
Komanso ndi ambili amene ma title ali nao sakuwakhala. Ma profs, maexcellency, Reverend or honorables athu mMalawi. Sakugwirizana ndizochitika, maganizo ndi zolankhula zao. SAD
In the end, peace always wins
Chakwera is a violent thug who loves spilling blood.
Please let us Vote and see who is killing people.Why is peter afraid to vote and keep on changing dates? Do you the expiry dates of his Ansah? He must be careful with his speech and dont know if you dont ask each other at home that KODI AMATICHIYANINO ? because she did not hear him though he tried Chichewa language.
Let’s vote and find out who is killing innocent people
Come on interim leader Mtalika don’t think that Malawians are fools not like ur cabaals and primitive so called Cadets
Any party with a right wing is a violent organisation.
Thats why I call them Devil Peoples Party bekoz they have all false excuses to solicit primitive minds who support them.
Leave our leader and mighty MCP alone
U really see that Malawi’s Dawn is coming soon to shine on Malawians again more than ever.
Voting is the only answer to stump Covid 19 and Devil Peoples Party ( DPP) and Ugly Devil Fools (UDF)
Freedom is coming tomorrow whether u like it or not blood will spril
We are more than ready a stern warning to u BANDITS FOOLS Who has taken Malwi like ur spaza shop.
We as unique people from Mighty MCP/ UTM alliance are not fools like dumbest right wing organisation cadets who don’t respect Human rights
Freedom is coming tomorrow for unique idle Malawians
We already know who is killing people. It is the terrorist Chakwera – he is the one who is causing, organising and sponsoring violence. He has openly called on violent youth groups of the MCP to terrorise people.
Mwaiwala kupha, kuba, ndi zauchifwamba zomwe DPP inatchuka nazo. Don’t you think buying ID cards is a criminal issue? Why is Police not arresting individuals? Why is NRB quiet? Hope if your are objective enough you’ll link these issues to mother of all corrupt, DPP. Every sensible person will be ashamed associating him/herself with that kind of party.
Stupid allegation by stupid Lelu
So far, Chakwera has shown that he likes violence. Nsundwe was created on his instructions. The ID vigilantes have been created by him under lies that some people are buying IDs. He has also sent groups to spread rumours about blood-sucking. These groups are targeting and killing people.
Chipani chokupha!president wake mfalisi Kusiya za mkachisi Kuka lowa ndale,kuyamba kutukwana kumakamba zokhetsa mwadzi. Chipani cha pioneer ndi ayufi!

APM is a dull person, dustbin material
U are a very smart person who can’t do anything about it despite being smart but look up to apm to save u and ur loved ones from many things including corona. Let that sink in
DPP will pull through, peace and love are the answer.

Mutharika should stop focusing on the main opposition and it’s leader Lazarus chakwera rather than focusing on the big issues Malawi is facing as a nation. Like what he did on corona virus update was a great progress that to say opposition opposition bra bra . Was expecting a speech that could wrap up the whole nation of Malawi together , he afraid of MCP n the leadership of chakwera I think so. Why should he mentioning John chisi Rasta chikomeni 😂😂😂 are they too not oppositions every time chakwera MCP 😄😄
All chakwera does is talk about muntharika
The president should have touched on those collecting national IDs. What is his say on the ID collection under the guise of giving out loans? Did he launch the loan scheme as a ploy to rig election? Why did he not condemn the practice of collecting peoples IDs and why is it rampant in the Central region and not in the South? There is no way Mutharika can give more loans in the Central region than in the South.
APM needs to focus on this violent opposition leader who is sending violent boys around to target, torture and kill people.
Stupid thinking
MCP should not waste time responding to useless views of a senile old man who is so desperate to cling on to power at all cost.
We have a far big problem on our hands as a nation and I would expect MCP and all opposition parties to be pushing the government on how they are or will handle the covid 19 issue in our country.

Mcp always attacks muntharika has he no right to attack too? U see the wrong autocratic mentality u Mcp zealots have. you think only ur opinion matters.
Is there anybody in Malawi who still respect for Chakwera let alone Maurice Munthari. The spirit of God departedn from these people long time ago. We all know that Chakwera has been sponsoring his Nsundwe thugs to cause havoc and they were being ferried by Ntambo to kill and destroy.
You are the one who has no Spirit of God. You are there to shamelessly tell lies here. Who was killed by demonstrators? Your not ashamed at all to defend your evil speech by the president. This is a sign that there is no truth in you.
This ok man Peter isn’t sleeping with MCP and chakwera kkkk. The bloodsucking rumours started with this social media networks voice clips from Zambia that were coming to Malawi so the fear gripped in people’s through this way , and that Zambia and Northern region Malawi are boundaries this is why the fake rumours have spread out over and very fast that if they see strange people especially men and more especially at nights they take a person as a threat. What do you expect from opposition if you go with their tax money’s pretending to help them giving loans by taking their I’ds to help you rig election? Mutharika lost the points to address the nation of Malawi about bloodsucking rumours and albino killings as a national leader I guess.
APM needs to protect the people of Malawi. It is his duty. Therefore he needs to tell off Chakwera who is a violent leader leading the bloodsucking MCP
President Mutharika has lost direction and he is trying his best to point his fingers at someone else for his incompetence. This is sad!
Does Munthali really knows MCP? How can he say MCP is peace loving when it is undisputable that MCP killed thousands of Malawians during Malawi’ Dark Ages of its rule. It has also recently undisputably been recorded that MCP is the only opposition party in SADC region, if not the whole world, that has managed to kill police officers while in opposition. In fact, Malawi is poor today because of MCP, it disturbs every economic progress made so that they can say government has failed. MCP and the Devil drink from the same cup, they all wish Malawians to perish.
It was dausi/ ntaba who were in MCP killed hundreds of innocent people in those one party system, and now are in DPP now killing innocent albino people , not MCP was the killer but the people who was in kamuzu cabinet just like in Dpp now. Ask bakili muluzi will count you all the criminals killers coz he too was therein , kamuzu and MCP wasn’t aware of the killings, even chakwera and mcp are innocent people. @chiombagaga
Usandiseketse.. u really have no idea what beast u are trying to wake and unleash on Malawians. Mcp ndi jombo,makofi ndi ng’ona.. not time for talks, court, injections. Umangosowa basi
Useless comments. I think your brain stopped working many years ago iwe Chiombagaga
Chakwera is one of the most violent people. DPP has real behaved this time round . nsundwe is what rings in his head they will never take you to state house. If God says you will be there you will in deed but as of excuse us. you are as a good as a radical. no more Huma in you.
Munthali ufela zaeni
Nsundwe Al Shabaab very dangerous!!!!!!
Nsundwe is totally NOTHING, the Mozambican Government has already IDENTIFIED the people who KILLED Mozambican CITIZENS in transit to Tanzania.
Those associated with the so called Nsundwe Al Shabab will be brought to book by Mozambican Government right here or elsewhere.
To Nsundwe Al Shabab:-
CONTINUE KILLING INNOCENT MOZAMBICANS
