Misa Malawi condemns DPP MPs attacks on journalists: Suleman itches to slap scribes
Media Institute of Southern Africa (Misa) Malawi chapter has condemned attacks on journalists covering proceedings at the National Assembly by some governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) legislators.
The media watchdog said in a statement on Wednesday that it is unfortunate that some Members of Parliament (MPS) are victimising journalists in the building where the country’s laws are made.
“We are specifically appalled by the utterances made by MP for Blantyre City South East Honourable Sameer Suleman who was recorded saying ‘if given a chance he would slap the journalists’.
“He actually charged at some female journalists but was restrained by Minister of Homeland Security Nicholous Dausi,” reads the statement in part signed by Misa-Malawi chairperson Teresa Ndanga.
Misa-Malawi said the DPP legislators also accused female journalists of dating opposition MPs.
“Misa-Malawi finds it unfortunate that some MPs are in the forefront victimising journalists’ right inside the building where laws of this country are made. We expect lawmakers to respect the laws and fully understand that the Republican Constitution guarantees media freedom,” Ndanga said.
On Tuesday afternoon, some DPP legislators led by Suleman – behaving larger than life – blocked the media from interviewing Leader of the House Kondwani Nankhumwa at Parliament.
Despite his interest to grant an interview as a media friendly politician, Nankhumwa was stopped by Suleman from speaking to journalists, accusing them of being “spies” for Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC).
Misa-Malawi has since asked National Assembly to “put an end to such uncalled-for conduct” by Suleman and other legislators.
He is a savage
Asian of Malawi origin Kkkk
Another useless DPP cadet. Call them Legion, for they are many indeed inside the DPP.
He wants to be in the news too much. His wife is also a bitch in town.
He is hopeless and eiiiiish amwenye akufuna kutizunza
This idiot’s head is full of scumshit. Him behaving like that only proves he is an offspring of a pig. Nothing more to say about this shithole. Soon he will have to go back to that swineshit
This guy will not retain his seat ….he was voted out of sympathy now akuziwona kufikapo he was off..pp and now dpp akuziwona kufikapo…kuchigumula anthu akuti akupanga life ya chinwenye kuzikonda…he thinks atha kumupasaa unduna pumbwa ameneyi
The only knowledgable Suleman I know is Daudi. The ICT machinist. Izi nde zitinso izi?
This ugly face Suleman must look twice at his face that looks like a monkey. Why he couldn’t pick up a fight with a male journalist instead of targeting defenceless woman. People like Suleman need to be recalled by their constituency and be replaced because they were not sent to a parliament to victimise women. Here is an MP that is setting a bad example to the nation that when you feel like slapping a woman you just do it. I wish you could have slapped her and your balls were going to be fed to the crocodiles. Suleman, you… Read more »
Ukunamatu inu. I’m a woman and this is very very handsome man
Wasanduka liti kukhala mzimayi gwape iwe, ukufuna kukhala aunt Tio
walemba ndi trapence
WOMEN LIKE YOU ARE FUCKERS AND BITC
Very well said boss. You have hit the nail of this shitface… hand him over to HRDC. Chop his balls off and feed it to his family.
Is he a Malawian? He must ask himself why the female journalists are rebuffing them. A wise woman will think twice when choosing a man to be a father of her children. Even animals do think twice before choosing a mate who will be a father of her sibblings. Wake up dude.
Mr CEO mwathoka heavy…kkkkkkkk
