MP Lunji asks Chakwera to fire Minister Mtambo: ‘His character is questionable’
Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) deputy whip Martha Lunji , who is also MP for Nkhotakota North East, has called on President Lazarus Chakwera to fire Minister of Civic Education and National Unity Timothy Mtambo, saying his character is questionable as Minister responsible for uniting Malawians.
She said the Minister, by then leader of Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) and currently Commander-in-chief of the Citizen Transformation Movement, was involved in mass demonstrations that saw people’s businesses, houses and other structures being destroyed.
However, leader of the house, Richard Chimwendo Banda asked if it was proper for the DPP deputy whip to question the president’s prerogative.
Second deputy speaker Aisha Adams agreed with Chimwendo Banda that Lunji was not supposed to question the president prerogative.
Mtambo, who sits in Parliament as a minister but cannot contribute to debate because he is not an MP, organised street protests against the May 2019 electoral mismanagement.
Leader of Opposition in Parliament Kondwani Nankhumwa on Monday it is “a naked fact” that the June 23 polls left the country with a bitter after-taste and divided the nation along tribal and regional lines.
“As opposition, we wish to commend the government for highlighting an agenda of unity through the newly-created Ministry of Civic Education and National Unity.
“It is also important that such policy projection is matched by actions on the ground to indicate seriousness. Malawians are expecting to see how this peace and unity initiative will heal the wounds of victims of MCP 30-year atrocities.”
He said Malawians will be expecting to see how victims of political demonstrations in 2019 will also be taken care of, especially in form of compensation for those that lost property and lives of dear ones.
“ I have in mind the death of Superintendent Usiman Imedi who was killed in the line of duty at Nsundwe in Lilongwe,” he said.
Chipani chilichonse chikalowam’boma sichilephera kupha,motelo izi ndiye nchito za MCP.
Uku nkungoyamba,
Ndipo uyu waphedwadi pankhani zomwezo.
Kodi ngati angavomele.
This appointment is like kumuwuza mwana kuti kolopa manyi ako
Chimwendo protecting a fellow bandit.
Mtambo must fall ,Chakwela missed it for a pointing Mtambo the person who lie to Malawians to demonstrate for his personal gain.I don’t think this man can unite Malawians may be mentally ill Malawians can if Chakwela and Zeze take us like that.Mtambo must fall he is having blood in his hands,he does not deserve ministerial position.
Mukumva kuwawa eeeeh! Mukumva kupweteka!!! Azalira WAWAWAWA! Bitter aftertaste, kkkkk
The country is united, from Chitipa to Ntcheu Tonse Alliance vote. Za mulhankho kingdom zanu iizo, zintha
Better to have Mtambo in cabinet than Mchacha , I think u know better the difference between the two.
(1) Mtambo is Educated while Mchacha was a Chikwere
(2) Mtambo has leadership skills while Mchacha has thuggery skills.
(3) Mtambo can read and write better proposals for government to use while Mchacha can insult people much better zamukabudula eg What he did to May Kaliati .
(4) Mtambo has never stole anything from Malawians but Mchacha stole Land stopped by ACB.
So where was Lunji not to ask Muntharika to fire Mchacha who also married an underage girl?
U will feel pain with Mtambo, Wether u like it or not but Mtambo will still remain your minister .
Mtambo must fall, he is not fit to be a minister responsible for uniting the nation. Cracks that we see in Malawi is as a result of the works of Mtambo. He organized those demonstrations for personal benefit. Since he was appointed as the minister, nothing has done to heal the wounds that were inflicted by his HDRC and DPP. That guy doesn’t love this country
To say the least, putting mtambo as minister of reconciliation is a mockery to Malawi citizens. The wounds which mtambo inflicted on Malawians are still fresh and you can’t send the same person who caused injury on us to clean our wounds. That is a mockery. The more we see mtambo the more we are reminded of the atrocities we suffering and humiliations we endured during his destructive demonstrations targeted at southerners. Memories are still fresh and we have not yet recoverd from the property and life we lost due to ruthless and careless actions of mtambo. Just remove him and give us a break and peace of mind. The fact is that Malawi can not be united by mtambo. Never!!!! Chakwera, it’s high time you respected us by putting someone sensible on the seat to reconcile and unite us, not mtambo.
‘..destructive demonstrations targeted at southerners,’ Jane Ansah was the target. She was not a southerner, was she?
Mr Citizen, you are very dull. Don’t you know that Jane Ansa was just an escapegoat, the real target for demos was APM, DPP and southerners? Why were southern car numberplates being targeted in Central Region demos if all you wanted was Jane Ansa?. Koma chimutu chakocho chimaganiza Mr Citizens?
As time goes people will know that Nankhumwa is politically as useless as Atupele Muluzi.How can he talk of Government compensating late Inspector IMEDI who died while on duty.He must have had a life cover and his death was triggered by Peter Muthalika’s arrogance to hold a political rally while people were still angry with Jane Ansah.DPP on the other hand killed 3 innocent Tambala family members, why is this talk talk and stupid Nankhumwa silent.And he wants DPP’s presidency with this nonsense.
Galu Pathako pako
Do you see yourself different from him? How? Kikkkkk the officer was sent by DPP,you think we don’t know that you wanted his blood for ritual purposes? You have killed Albinos for the same, Mtaba and your President is on the list, I think you have not yet forgot this.
Iwe ndiye mbuzi ya munthu. Use ur head.
There is nothing like challenging Chakwera’s prerogative here. Martha Lunji is right. She just reminded the President that Mtambo is a wrong choice. He cant unite the country. His hands are tainted with blood. Mtambo is a stinking Loser who believes in violence. Thought Chakwera calls himself a listening President. He must act on Martha’s call by firing big headed Mtambo.
Koma ndiye mumamudatu Mtambo ma Cadet inu. Muchira koma.
Enanu you can not like Mtambo chifukwa without him and his HRDC team, the Judges and the Military Boma lakuba lija la DPP silikanasintha. We know why you are bitter
Very very very true
Mbuzi iwe kagwere uko.
This very true, Ntambos ministry is useless……just close the ministry basitu. He cannot unite Malawians
AM worried ndi comment ya Achimwendo; thats very dangerous; everything said and done by the president should not be questioned: shame. He is just a human being. God have mercy on us.
Mtambo is the best minister since he influenced change through demostrations. And those demostrations already meant to unite Malawians. In short to end Lomwelisation
Just samuka kuno ku Malawi Mtambo will remain minister of …… whether you like it or NO! nyekhwe
Chitsiru chamunthu uyu no wonder Nkhotakota North East is one of the least developed constituency in Nkhotakota. Msenjere, Katimbimbira, Liwaladzi, Walemera, Senjere, Chimphangwa, Chiphole, Kalinda, Matumbi and Chizeo amayenera kukhala ma trading center amphamvu koma even Liwaladzi is dominated ndi business yakachasu basi. Where was she when Mutharika appointed Mchacha in his cabinet? Akakhala iye Martha Chanjo Lunji mmesa u minister anangomupatsa was campaign uja basi? Mayi opusa kwambiri.
Instead of talking of development, akukamba za Mtambo, zautsiru basi. Think of developing Malawi anthu inu.
ndikape Mayi ameneyi,l feel shamed to see our district not developed due to mayi ameneyi
A Nankhumwa, a Nankhumwa! Inu mwapha anthu angati? Mukunena za Imedi (MHSRIP) nanga inu team yanu ija inapha family ya a Tambala ku Area 24 bwaaaa? Inu chipani chanu cha Tippex chija mmene chaonongera chuma chathu. You are busy with a piece of wood in someone’s eyes, how about the log in your eyes. Shame on Lunji, maluzi amupweteka kkkkkkkkkk. Muchira koma a Lunji ndi a Nankhumwa, DPP Tippex Party and your own chipani chotha ngati ma Curtain, cha UDF. The sad thing is that DPP will NEVER come back to power. Thank you.
Foseki
Nankhumwa what are you trying to be clever. Remember Dpp under Bingu Bingiza Muthalika shot dead 20 people who were demonstrating. You were in government why did you not compansate them.
You are a camerion.
With this selfishness and political shortsightedness talk like this , DPP must forget for the next thirty years to bounce back into Government, did DPP compensate the 20 plus Malawians that were gunned by Police in 2011????????????????? Galu atha kuganizakoso bwino kuposa Nankhumwa
Crocodile tears!
Lunji was right. Ntambo is a terrorist with questionable character. I am not sure what sort of Unity he can bring when he used to demonize lomwes and say stupid things about Muluzi and APM.
He was celebrating as an achievement when his fellow terrorist from Nsudwe mercilessly stoned Imedi to death. He celebrated when his terrorist undressed the police woman. He celebrated when his terrorist destroyed businesses and property. As a reward Chakwera gave him a ministerial position.
I second you bro although am Team Alliance
That thug whose soul is full of violence and gay tendencies should be removed as minister. Its an insult to Malawians to have him in cabinet. Lord I hate that pompous fool.
I thought Mchacha was more thug than Mtambo, did Muntharika removed Mchacha from his position as minister? Mchacha was given ministerial position because of his thuggery behaviour.
Achoke he is even busy just gicking women pamne ntchito yake sikudziwika
