MCP veep Lombola disown Msowoya, Kaliwo letter:  ‘I did not attack Chakwera’

Malawi Congress Party (MCP) second deputy President Macdonald Lombola has disowned a letter purporting to be from him and some top gurus accusing the party president Lazarus Chakwera of flouting the party constitution.

MCP deputy president Lombola: I did not fault Chakwera

According to  a letter dated January 12 2018 addressed to Chakwera, which has been circulating on social media, vice-president Richard Msowoya, Lombola, secretary general Gustav Kaliwo, deputy secretary general James Kaunda and treasurer general Tony Kandiero accuse Chakwera of going against the constitution of the party and his own word.

The party brass signed the letter including Lombola.

But Lombola on Wednesday denied being party to the letter.

“I am not accusing Chakwera for his style of leadership. No, not at all,” Lombola said.

Asked why he disowns the letter when it has his signature, Lombola insisted he did not endorse the letter and the signature was forged.

“I am not party to it,” he said.

When pressed to explain how his signature was used in the letter to Chakwera, the MCP second deputy president opted to have Nyasa Times speak to secretary general Gustav Kaliwo.

Kaliwo said  Lombola has all along backed the context of the letter and that if he has changed  his mind, he is entitled.

However, Kaliwo said the authors of the letter expect  Chakwera to “respond to the letter.”

ODALA, how old are you? Up to now you don’t know that Msowoya was a running mate to JZU? If that is not working with JZU, what is it then? MCP sizalamulanso dziko lino.
Even Kamuzu was just favoured ndi anthu a Ku Nkhatabay for him to rule this country. Kamuzu harvested where he did not sow.
Chinalaka JZU, Chakwera sangachithe. Mpata woti muzaphenso a malawi, kongilesi siidzaupedza.
Chilembwe opened up the presidency for the south and that dominance is here to stay. Come 2019, kongilesi iliranso.

I am 45 Years! I was there during Kamuzu. Mwana ngati ali wako zolakwa zake sizimaoneka. Zolakwa za DPP simungazione a Hatton. You better take statistics of people who like MCP now under Laz. no matter the infiting therein. I only like the dpp of 2004-2009 not the current. God will help malawians. 1992 was the same, Kamuzu couldnt believe the wind that blew then, Mtaba and Dausi were misleading Kamuzu.

Mr Lombola, mukamva tulo; nditimeneto. Palibe choopa apa. Chakwera sadziwa ndale. How we miss JZU. Late Chakuamba tried to rejoin MCP but the seasoned politician, JZU, refused. Koma a Chakwera zoona kupusisidwa ndi Mia nkumanyoza anthu Omwe anasunga chipani? Rt. Hon. Msowoya, don’t worry. You have worked with real politicians such as JZU. I am not surprised that you are incompatible with amateurs in politics such as the Chakwera’s. Mia is the real confunist in MCP. Watch out for this crook. For Kaliwo, your are great and genuine MCP. You defended Kamuzu and JZU in the Mwanza murder case. At… Read more »
