Ben Phiri

Kalemba however could not define whether Phiri’s farewell can be considered as resignation since he has not officially written a formal communication.

But when contacted, Phiri told Nation Online to ignore the message.

“I did my part and surely I couldn’t do everything. To some, I was a bad Minister … and to a few, a good minister . All those are just perceptions and opinions, which is ok . All I can say is, I am going a happy man filled with joy that I came and now leaving having left a mark in the Ministry” Phiri is quoted by Nation online.

“Today I bid farewell to all of you here . I may have made mistakes along the way. Trust me, it may have been an error of judgement and not intentional. Please accept my apology” he added.

The development comes as Malawi awaits the announcement of official results of the June 23rd June Fresh Presidential Elections (FPE).

Meanwhile, Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) has started announcing official results of the FPE.

So far according to reports, Dr. Lazarus Chakwera of Tonse Alliance is on the driving seat.

  4. Now he will have time to attend a real university osati za Jerusalem zija. He has stolen enough money to go to Harvard, Oxford or Cambridge. Oh! He will be in jail, my bad!

  6. You have 30 days to give back the MK250,000,000 ija munagulitsa Malo chaku wenela or Maula is waiting

  7. I want these people on this podium, Jamax,Chataika, Chilipa Thako, Winston msowoya, ndi ena aja, now we are waiting for the MEC to announce the official results telling us that Jonah will be our Sixth President of the Republic of Malawi, are we together on this or ulendo uno mukugwilizana naye uja munkati ndiwamisala amafuna Mulanje ndi Thyolo kuti likhale dziko palokha uja? Ngati muwelenge funso langalo, please yankhani.
    Pano siposungilana zifukwa and that is very true but it has come in my mind with the same feeling and pains I was having when you were insulting Dr Chakwera here! I can’t forget all the names you gave him, I can’t forget myself telling you that one day and one day, you will call this Jonah of today,Mr President! And now here we are! I can’t stop wipe my tears because I feel for you,you will be under the leadership of the same Jonah for 10 years! Nkhope zanu zikhala zitakwinyika chifukwa cha mkwiyo! May God find it good to give you peace! This is Malawi our only home we have in the entire World!
    Congratulations Dr Lazarus Chakwera! May God give you wisdom! Be strong and courageous!

      1. Yes Lego, thank you for reminding me. i feel bad for these young men who had that heart of not understanding what is happening in their own beautiful Country. May God open their eyes to see what the Malawi wanted.

    1. kkkkkkk!!!! Iwe Kaitano Kagalu tipatsane moni kaye koma mzanga iwe unasowa kaye eti???? Any way as you know and many others who understands POLITICS it is nothing else but a DIRTY GAME why am I saying this it’s because in politics people will always differ in their opinions and choices. But if you can remember what I used to write and demand from the people of Malawi = it was one thing RESPECT FOR OUR RULERS. As for me from now own since GOD has given as another PRESIDENT who is yet to be annoited in the Name of Dr. L. Chakwera as according to the Bible from the book of Romans 13 verses 1 -2 if possible just read very carefully – this is what will be my position towards the current government. I humbly welcome our chosen President and as by the word of God I will remain subject to him as long as he shall maintain JUSTICE & PEACE for all Malawians. may God bless Chakwera and may he bless us ALL.

    2. Uyunso Amati kuswa kuswa huwiiiiih๐Ÿ™€๐Ÿ™Š tulukani osabindikila limodzi ndi adadi anu Ku ndata farm iyayi๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

  8. Go well corrupt man.its in record the boy was perstering Blantyre City CEO to allocate him plots so that he sells to Indians and one of the plots is the one that Chilima said he has sold to Faizal. These are the first people who need to locked up and audited. The dude once run away to UK escaping akatapira but today has billions that he has been stealing through fake tenders and dubious deals

  9. Iwe Ben usawone ngati kuti ukuthawatu hahahha usayiwale malo wagulisa aja ndiye tikufuna pomwepano kuti ukanene zoona

  10. Wishing you all the best. Omwa tea adzamwanso who knows maybe nthawi imeneyi using a big cup. Bola osakhala opposition yangati ijayi yachiwewe.

  11. Akafike bwino. Chonde Tonse Alliance don’t do what Former President Dr. Joyce Banda did kulekerera Mbavazi until she was ousted by DPP. Investigate them immediately you are in office. Remember Albino killings, Njauju, Robert Chasowa, Area 24 Bombing, FDH boss, K145 Million, Beam, just to mention but afew.

    1. Well said ! Make their cases stick and give them the maximum jail terms ….atleast 5 years. This will have 2 effects:
      1. Teach a lesson to all Malawians that cheating does not pay!
      2. Consolidate Tonse Alliance power!
      Amayi let these guys loose when they had ceases to answer and that haunted the whole nation for the past 6 years! If Malawi is to be unified and to develop then keep DPP away from Power..period! And ofcourse everyone knows that DPP cannot survive 5 years out of power…anthu okonda katangale ngati amenewa cannot manage to be in opposition.

  12. Kapumeni Phiri history will judge you whether you did a good job or not….

    Just to give you heads up though, from July the first, the Tonse government will be offering an amnesty to people like you who have accumulated obscene amounts of worth in a very short period of time time…..to return that money to the right owners the taxpayers if the money was stolen…..this will be your last opportunity to avoid maula prison…..it will be entirely up to you to accept the amnesty.

  13. I wish to declare that I am DPP just like tradition I cant change my affiliation, I love the true DPP concept but Oh I am glad change is here.
    I have a theory that APM never wanted to win these elections and his close allies knew.
    I should believe he’s heading for a full political retirement.
    APAM being a learned man and for that matter at law, I do believe the 03rd February concourt determination was enough to open his eyes which have been closed by his, tightly closed manipulative and ungrateful few individuals who made him believe he was a darling of all.
    I believe he never wanted to appeal the case but the the same people pushed him or.seeked his authority to against his will. I believe he would have thrown in the towel, his health and insight to the true political status of the nation quickly made him look for a successor. Unfortunately in DPP there is , or was no right amd easy pick successor to APM, if we look at Chaponda maizegate haunts him, Nankhumwa has credentials issues, ascension to power could end his political career in an instant, Uladi is “a change goal” you cant trust him, Goodall is as good as retired of old age, Msaka is no match to lead he’s unpopular. I believe his choice of Chimulirenji was another strategy to eventually hand powers to someone clean. The coming of UDF into a coalition with DPP whicj was planned before May 2029 elections bit was frustrated is not and was not for these elections, I believe this was his way of handing the party to UDF. I will not be surprised to see these 2 parties soon merge and Atupele leading.
    I should believe it is the reason APM decided not to campaign for re election it speaks.volume of why Atupee single handedly campaigned to chance at presidency. Am sure he was told if you want it go get yourself. Mind you Bakilis slip of tongue over Atupeles presidency. I believe it was no slip of tongue but a hint.
    In their mind they are hoping Tonse Alliance will no live long, the egos of Chakwera and Chilima will see them going their separate ways towards the next election levelling the battle field for “Ung,ono ung’ono ” to bounce back into power. Soon APM if not his speech during Dr. Chakweras swearing in if at all he will attend, he will hint of his retirement. Remember this is my theory based on observations. So Dr Ben Phiri, it is no surpise he is bidding farewell. He knows his boss wanted things to be this way.

    What do you think comrades? (Apologies for the long read)

  14. Bravo Ben Phiri and all DPP/UDF alliance. You fought a good fight but as you may be aware all systems were against us plus a few blunders we made (power got into our heads but that’s nature of humans) it made things difficult.
    Advise to DPP and UDF if we have to protect our region from becoming politically senile:
    1. Let us form one party, a political pride for our region. For the time being retain APM as president while presidential hopefuls do primaries. DONT IMPOSE A PRESIDENT ON THE PARTY. Let the party supporters chose who they want,
    2. Dont allow any manuevering of anybody from Tonse Alliance to come and take up our presidency, I can assure you someone will try to.
    3. We have been nyekhwelised so let us go into political nyekhwisolation for about a year and bounce back when this Tonse Alliance start backfiring.
    4. Block any attempts to change the date of next general elections from 2024 to 2025. I know will be difficult for DPP & UDF MPs not to allow an extra year in parliament but the net effect is that denying them the change will mean they only have two years to fulfill their manifesto before 2024 campaign starts. They will be caught off balance just like what happened to PP in 2014.

    1. Pipe dreams. Presidential term is 5years. Next general elections would be in June 2025 and there is no mistake about that.

      1. Choka iwe wayufi kumamvetsa chomwe nzanu wanena. Kwaiwe general elections is presidential election and tavota dzanazi kwaiwe ndi general election? Koma abale!

  15. Shame to you ben10 time is over you wasted our resources and our country see u in the street
