MCP supporters injured after police shot teargas canisters on them
A Malawi Congress Party (MCP) supporter identified as Kate Hussein is battling for her life at Dae Yang Luke Hospital, where she is admitted after riot police in Lilongwe apparently left a teargas cannister to explode in her clothes.


MCP deputy publicity secretary Ezekiel Ching’oma has confirmed the incident, saying victim was among a group of party supporters that stormed Malawi Revenue Authority offices (MRA) in Kanengo Lilongwe today afternoon to demand the release of party T-shirts .
The MCP supporters had moved from the MRA gate to a place about 300 metres away, but the police officers are said to have followed the supporters there and dispersed them using teargas.
Ching’oma said the victim was being referred to Kamuzu Central Hospital (KCH) following her critical condition.
MRA Corporate Affairs manager, Steve Kapoloma, said there is nothing new in seizing the imported good.
He said there are various factors which contribute to seizur such as under disclosure.

This is absolute idiocy by MCP supporters. Seizure of imported goods is common at MRA! They have good reasons for that, why not ask them to speed up the process if the container has stuff that is required immediately?
What has this to do with party supporters? Why all this interest? Who gathered the innocent supporters to the industrial area, Kanengo? For what?
You people keep surprising us. Are these really T-shirts that people should die for?
YOU SEEM TO BE IGNORANT ON MALAWIAN POLITICAL MATTERS
@phillips wangs: @Peace is NOT ignorant about Malawi politics, as you put it.
He’s just frustrated by ignorant people who put their lives on the line for issues they simply do not understand. In other ways, the overzealous and less informed are used by the biggies, worse than a ganyu.
If don’t live in Malawi just shut-up. Come to Malawi and the moment you arrive at the border/airport that’s when you will get to know the nyusensi called MRA. If they were professional , I wouldn’t have a problem. If they were impartial, no problem. Unfortunately them and their police friends are not. Osamayikila kumbuyo zopusa. Otherwise nanuso ndi opusa.
Why impounding MCP T-shirts when DPP don’t pay for all the imported party goods? Check with MRA. DPP goods come in the name of the president or the first lady who are tax exempt and the t-shirts, bicycles get released pompopompo wi5hout paying a single kwacha.. Wake up Malawi!
Women right’s group mukuti chani? Mwangoti ziii. Mzimayi mzanu wachitilidwa nkhanza. Come on ladies. Malawi Police using a heavy hand against an innoncet Law abiding woman citizen

Za MCP zakuwawani za DPP zimangodutsaaa a eni ake a dziko hmmmmmm Inuyo inu a MRA tionana tikuchitani forensic audit on something muonekera ng’amba inuyo mudzalakalaka kulowa pansi
I wonder what excites the police when doing gruesome things like this. I wonder whether we have a functionally Government. Wondering where our humanity is heading to. Very sad and very sand indeed what people can dare to do their fellow humans. Malawians let’s vote for our mighty MCP and Chakwera. Things will change I am telling you!
M.C.P. zinthu kuzitengela pamgong’o, mungapange clear container inu?
Kapoloma pathako pako, Mesa mkazi wakoso anamangidwapo ku John for illegal trade and tax evasion. Mapwara anu man…. Tikuonerani pa 21 May pano. Shupit including your master thief Roza Mbilizi. Anyapapi time up… Nyero zanu
A kapoloma is under disclosure the specific reason your unprofessional office is clinging to materials or you’re just displaying your political colors while in your civil servant uniform?
What is the main reason for holding those materials. Inu ndiye anthu ofunika kuongola after elections
MCP should not be given a chance to rule this country. Is this how you will behave once in power? This was a normal process of the law. Sam Kawale did not declare t-shirts, caps, undervalued and misclassified his goods. So you wanted us to accept his bribe ? Noooooo!!! We had to seize the goods, do the paper work and make him pay the extra duty plus fine for the offense! ! Instead of following the law you go get thugs and poor women to riot? Nooooo!!’ We are very disappointed with you Chakwera and your savages. We are here to do our job!
Stupid argument by MRA Staff. Why don’t you do your job when handling DPP materials?
@MRA STAFF argument and statements are absolutely valid, in this case.
Nobody should be treated special, regarding duties, outside the law at MRA. Taxes have to be paid!!!
If the goods were under-valued or wrongly described, did you tell the importer about the irregularities and what should be done to correct the wrong? Being a DPP plant in MRA will not save your inefficiency. Where a penalty is to be paid you do notify the importer. If he fails then you impound the stuff not when the importer is complying with your orders. Palowa ndale apa. Your bosses will heavily pay for that after elections as DPP is on its way out of government. Should people like Kapoloma be retained in their positions?
which job are talking about? An institution without any credibility at all and the staff like you without any sense of duty only receiving bribes and serving dpp. What are you talking about? So akanakhala mmenye ndiye you would have taken a bribe!!!! So many cases za amwenye you have never concluded. Apapa ndiye mwati you want to do your job. My foot. Kuti katunduyo athe chakatu. Zitsilu za anthu.
Did these people even know what they were doing and why? The importer should be prosecuted for obstruction and harrassmemt.
Kumeneko nde timati kufera za ini! MCP ! How can you use poor people like this? The police were right. There is need for order in this country
Nambewe mwalankhula ngati wanzerutu. Mudzakumbuke mawu anu azanu akadzayankha chonchi mukatuluka m’boma pa 21 May. This invisible hand will be with someone soon. Mulungu sangalole ana ake kuti azingovutika.
Anambewe wapolisi alibe chibaletu. Zikakuonekelani mudzaneneso chimodzimodzi.
