MP Ngalande welcomed into MCP fold: Mia says more joining
Malawi Congress Party (MCP) deputy president Mohammed Sidik Mia Sunday formally inducted Member of Parliament for Balaka North Constituency and business magnate Tony Ngalande into the party, with the new MCP catch saying he wants to help grow the party in the southern region.
During the June 23 elections, Ngalande, a former member of People’s Party (PP) when former president Joyce Banda was in power, endorses Chakwera for presidency.
In Parliament he was on the government side until in February 2020 he requested the Speaker to allocate him a seat on the opposition side.
And now Ngalande will move to the ruling MCP benches in the august House.
“As an independent MP who believes in the progress of the nation and before the 23rd June 2020 fresh presidential election, I publicly endorses the Tonse Alliance and now, most especially aligning the wishes of my people with a leadership that is visionary and sound. President Chakwera fits the cap. Hence my joining MCP.
“We are ready to serve the nation under the Tonse government,” said Ngalande.
Three councilors also joined MCP at the same meeting. They are Michael Sauka junior of Nkhonde Ward, Joseph Daniel of Chimwalile Ward and Byson Gombwa of Utale Ward.
In an interview with Nyasa Times after addressing a rally in Balaja, Mia said Ngalande’s coming to MCP signifies the strength of the party.
“We will strengthen MCP more in eastern and southern regions,” said Mia.
He hinted that more MPs and politicians will be joining MCP.
Strong opposition is required to Force government to do best,
Osamangothamangira kuboma please.
These ministers are always on the road making allowances. One would be surprised that the Mias are known to ha e money yet they are sweating for peanuts as ministers. Mia has been minister of works since Bingu, Joyce Banda and now Tonse and if there are projects that stagnated , he is responsible. Mia is a certified thief and very corrupt. I used to work at Motal in accounts and he would come to collect cheques. And the guys who are there also tell me that they are still paying him and the money is drawn as if they are going to pay day workers.
ACB can you listen to that please!
good riddance.
Mia is aiming for the Vice President’s position. Mia is busy with campaigning for 2025 and outsmarting SKC. Mia is the real Vice President, and will not rest until he out shines SKC.
Za zii
Selfish politicians hiding behind a curtain
How did the Honourable Minister get to Balaka?
Did he use his government car and fuel allowance?
Is it legal or ethical for government resources being used for private political party partisan functions?
Ndiye mukuona ngati a Mia angasowe petrol opitira ku Balaka ngati boma litapanda kuwapatsa? aaaaa abro ganizani bwino bwino pamenepa. Inu petrol uja munkakatenga ku Escom yu bwa?? ife tinkadziwa kuti munkakatenga petrol ku ESCOM? olo even iweyo did you know that your fellow DPP supporters were receiving petrol at ESCOM? Leave Mia alone, he is not a poor man that one — shame on you
Zayambapo. Politics of strengthening the party. All politicians wil join the Tonse Alliance. Dont like this stuff. BS!!!
Me too. We need a vibrant opposition
This guy is the right person for the position of 1st Chief Advisor to the Party. He has the best qualities.
This is normal in stupid countries like nyasaland
The truth is there is no alliance. This Tonse Marriage of convenience is only at the presidential level. Member of Parliament subscribe to their respective parties. The objective was to dislodge DPP and the objective is achieved.
Nonsense! These are opportunists wanting to join the gravy train. Eventually, you’ll be swamped by such characters who do not necessarily prescribe to the Tonse values and they will start looting under your watch. You’re just as good as DPP – bastards! I wasted my vote.
I agree, actually there is nothing MCP in this Tony Ngalande guy
Let us not kill DPP, we need a credible opposition the way MCP was in the past 26 years. The tendency or everyone following the ruling party should stop. We are still practicing the same old politics that has not delopped our country. The Presidential Advisor on Youth should be a youth who has the experience of being youth
On point Sir
Harvest comes with opportunism. No empty basket when the opportunists are abroad. In 2019 where was the big catch? It’s these crowds that may rock the MCP boat so look out amidst the euphoria for empty political shells
Absolutely. That is exactly what killed DPP. Rent seekers.
So should we still say Tonse Alliance when inside there are crossing floors amongst themselves?
It looks like there is competition between MCP and UTM in bringing into the parties the prodigal sons. I am waiting to see what will happen in the Karonga Central bi-election.
