MCP’s Kazombo praises Mutharika: ‘Time to set aside politics to develop Malawi’

February 28, 2020 Nyasa Times Reporter 66 Comments

Malawi Congress Party (MCP) Member of Parliament for Kasungu East, Madaliso Kazombo, who is also First Deputy Speaker of Parliament, on Friday surprised many during the launch  of  consultations for developing the successor to Vision 2020 when he used his speech to highlight  the challenge of divisive politics Malawi practices putting his party and its politics on the spot.

Kazombo: Why can’t we come together with government

MCP,  led by former church cleric Lazarus Chakwera, is  criticized for inciting post-elections violence and burning and demolishing public infrastructure which is key to development.

Kazombo was invited to the launch to deliver a National Assembly commitment to Malawi Vision  on behalf of the Speaker of Parliament Catherine Gotani Hara who was presiding of the National Assembly Mid-Term Budget session which she had adjourned sine die.

According to Kazombo,  Malawi has not achieved much in the Vision 2020 mainly  due to luck of unity among politicians.

Kazombo said Malawians political leaders in the opposition are busy playing tribalistic and regionalist politics which is retrogressive .

“It’s painful to see countries that copied Malawi’s Vision 2020 implementing it while we  Malawians, the originators of the document are failing to implement it,” Kazombo said.

Kazombo, who excited the audience at BICC auditorium with his  speech, told the gathering that the main problem with Malawi politics is that the opposition parties in Malawi do not work together with government to bring development.

“Why can’t we come together with government  and join hands to develop this country?” Kazombo wondered.

“Ndale sakudya! (We don’t eat politics),” Kazombo thundered to the cheering crowd.

Kazombo, who was the first to deliver a commitment  and he used the opportunity  to strongly censor  his own MCP,  which has been sabotaging development projects in Malawi in the name party politics  since 1994 when it lost power.

The MCP legislator then asked the audience to recognize efforts by President Peter Mutharika  to development Malawi  adding that  Mutharika needed support from all politicians to continue developing the country .

At this juncture, Kazombo asked the audience to clap hands for President Mutharika  for being a true statesman and the audience obliged .

The Malawi Vision 2020 strategy was launched in 1998 as the roadmap to Malawi’s Development from 1998 to 2020

The launch of the Vision 2020  Successor consultations is expected to kick start national wide  consultations on the successor Vision.

Sources privy to MCP politics say Kazombo is in the Kasungu camp agitating for the removal of Chakwera. Kazombo used the forum to hit at MCP leadership.

  6. Kazombo is a great fearless man who deserve an accolade. That’s the kind of leaders we need in the country.
    Big up Hon. Kazombo you deserve to be MAP president osati zinazi kuthawa kutchalichi ndi kumakawatsogolera anthu kukaononga zitukuko zimene boma likupanga

  9. When a writer hides his name he’s not worth to be a reporter. Whoever listened to Kazombo knows pretty well this is not exactly what he said. Gutter journalism. Look how the ducks have taken into it hahahahahahah

  10. Good thing is that he was not speaking on behalf of MCP. Knowing DPP, they will shower goodies on this idiot for uplifting the party’s image.

    1. Lets call a spade a spade. Kazombo was speaking about our country Malawi not atdogoleri. Timuyamike munthuyu. Mayufinu tazidziwani kuvomereza zikakhala bwino. Kodi zowotcha ndi kugumula ma office omanga manga zija zukukondweretsani? Mudzakhala mukubwezeretsa zomwezo mmalo momanga zatsopano, komwe nkuzichedwetsa. Tiyeni tigwirane manja titukule dziko lathu, zinyau tizisiye apo

    1. Telvin phiri, the problem with u is that u dont want pple to speak their mind. If u dont agree with him, its fine iwenso u have yr own image about the whole thing. Respect other pple’s views, thats the game. Inu mukufuna aliyense adziyankhula zokomera inu basi

    1. Kazombo studied economics at Chirunga campus and was chair of CCAPSO he is level-headed than most of the MPs…Yearo 1998….Mbelwa Hall#4…. Malawi….I don’t know ngati enanu mmadziwa chanco has nyasaland and Malawi….

  14. Umphawi uyu. He joined DPP day one. He just can’t declare DPP because of his constituents. He dislikes Chakwera. He’s a sellout!

  16. So mukamati kadzombo wayankhula mwanzeru you mean Kuti vision 2020 zimene zinakhazikitsidwa ndi bakili muluzi zinalepheleka chifukwa cha MCP? Ndalama zimene mukulandila komanso ngongole zakunja zikufikila ku opposition parties or bona Mmmm mwanama Ngati mwalephera masomphenya omwe musakhazikitsa kufikila 2020 poti yakwana osanamizila amene amatsutsa zolakwika Kuti mukonze . Konzani misewu mankhwala ndi zipangizo mu zipatala ma school muli zambiri zofooka ma business development it’s not opposition parties it’s the government

  19. Kazombo I salute you. Listening to your contributions, one would tell that Mmutu mwa Deputy Speaker yu muli nzeru.Politics saadyadi. Dziko la MALAWI 🇲🇼 can not develop with the kind of mindsets of the people like Chakwera who mobilize people to break Development projects initiated by government. I want to urge Kazombo to school his boss Lazaro who thinks being leader of opposition means being an enemy of government. Kindly censure chakwera and let him refrain from politics of antagonism.?If he continues please remove chakwera from leading the party and quickly identify a sober minded leader
    P

  20. He is an intelligent Fella ….Don’t lead too much into it ….Him and some of Us of his generation read Julius Ceasar at MSCE…..We all know it’s not the Opposition which Steals 30 percent of the National Budget ….It’s not the Opposition omwe amatolima Miseu yakabwere Mawa….It’s not the Opposition which used to do Zitukuku za Mipanda ndi Toilet nthawi ya UDF…..It’s not the Opposition which sales national assets at Give Away Prices…ANY INTELLIGENT audience will Realise It when someone is playing Mark Antony….

    1. Uuuuuu. Can you tell us what is happening to the hyped MCP and UTM negotiations. Why is it that Chakwera and Chilima have hit a snag?

    2. You realise even the opposition is the parliament eti and they bring input for what development is important?

  22. Kazombo wadyapo zako,akufumbatitsa, Kodi nthawi yomwe Munthalika analandira K145 million, was that vision 2020,it was the pressure from opposition which made Munthalika to return the money but still they took the money.Shame on you kazombo.Cheap politics.

  23. I remember last year you also wrote that Kazombo had joined DPP 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Koma ma cadet muli busy

  24. lol cadet you’re making too much from this. Eh eh. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. This was just a civilized speech. What did you expect him to say? Umafuna atukwane a president ?

  25. ‘PALM GREASE’ seeking politics is rampant among our esteemed society. Check what happens next. ‘Proper rewards’ are likely to exchange hands!

  26. Chakwera is not MCP, MCP is not Chakwera, neither is Kasungu MCP. and Kasungu and Kazombo is not MCP.

  28. Zaza, the opposition does provide checks but DPP does not listen to anybody, possibly due to arrogance, an “I know itall” attitude and advisors!

  29. Nyasatimes, your useless reporters are once again on DPP retainer. Everytime i see them not use their names i know they are most likely writing nonsense. Who is editing this crap, Mchacha?

    As for Kazombo’s words, It’s always good to smile before plunging the Knife in to the hilt.

    1. Ana okulira moputsisidwa, everything provided on a silver plate without them sweating. They are usually foolish and cannot achieve anything on their own. All this Kazombo thing is looking for is easy money and favours from thieves.
      Before Chakwera, Kazombo is despising MCP was on its downward spiral. Mbava za DPP zimawina u MP ku Kasungu komweko. Kulankhula moputsa. Learn to give credit where it is due. Osati zaufiti zanuzi.

      1. Petros, I think the reporter is misrepresenting what Kazombo said. And he’s outright lying about Kazombo trying to remove Chakwera. Last year another similar article LIED that Kazombo had joined DPP. Kazombo ran as an independent after some fools in MCP betrayed him. But he remained loyal to the party. The guy writing this article is just trying to tarnish the man because he’s a rising star and obviously in order to cause some confusion in the opposition

  32. This is what we expect from mature politicians. Being in opposition does not mean frustrating goverment. It means providing checks.

  34. Kazombo is right. MCP and the entire opposition has been frustrating government and as a result our country is not making enough progress.

    1. Was it MCP that frustrated government when it decided not to honor its contract with Simbi which would have brought water to Lilongwe? Did MCP frustrate government when it decided to waste money building those two stupid stadiums? Was it MCP which frustrated government when it decided not to finish constructing Mombera University?

      1. Yes, it was the opposition and HRDC that frustrated the Lake Malawi Water project. Paja HRDC is opposition paramilitary wing. MCP does not like DPP being praised for the project.

  37. PLEASE. Do not mislead yourselves that the ‘originator of VISION 2020’ is Malawi. PLEASE. PLEASE. The world is laughing at OUR ignorance. Stop this nonsense Mr Madaliso Kazombo!

    1. Check on the internet: “…by 2020 Nigeria will be one of the largest economies in the world, able to consolidate its leadership role in Africa and establish itself as a significant player in the global economic and political arena” – Nigeria Vision 2020 – Wikipedia. Amalawi pepani. Chotsani umbuli.

  38. Adad wasn’t born a politician but now I can see udf hands in all this. Dpp is too rude to approach opposition but udf is the political engine of this country.

  39. I think Kazombo is just making sure that he is liked by all parties so that whoever wins iye apezekepo. The other day praising SKC , lero APM. I think he is playing his own game. Kaya tiziwona. No wonder Malawi is where it is today. Too many triple faced people.

  40. I am not sure Kazombo understands politics of multiparty. Which country in the world has the opposition work together with the ruling party?

  41. If that’s true, then this guy is worse than a dog. Either way, this tribalist and a disaster of a leader is packing come May.

      1. Hardy you sounds dumb. If the guy is in the US, he can take a flight home. He just has to make sure he registers first.

  42. Tione zinthu 116 days yatsalayi sure. MCP ndiyotembeleredwa guyz…Zolowa mboma ndakayika…Chilima wayiona 10 years kutalika shaaa. ….MCP back to dynasty…Kamuzu takeover….zipani zathu zakumtundu….Mwachulukana zidzukulu za Kamuzu…please chibwelere kubanja chipani kkkk

  43. That’s the spirit that Malawians need. A true reflection of politics.we have to come together as one,put aside politics and join hands
    Malawi belongs to tumbukas, chewas, Senas, ngonis,yawos,Tonga’s and lomwes
    Thumb up kazomno
