Mphepo under fire for saying DPP to punish ungrateful northerners

Chief  presidential political advisor Francis Mphepo has come under intense fire for saying that governmentt will withdraw all development projects in the north because northerners are ungrateful.

Mphepo: Under fire for provoking northernors

President Mutharika has not visited the region on his usual ‘thank you’, rallies since the highly disputed May 21 elections.

In a clip circulating in various social media platforms, Mphepo says Mutharika has lined up a number of development projects in the north which would be withdrawn if people in the north continue to be ungrateful.

Alliance for Democracy (Aford) has issued a hard hitting statement, condemning Mphepo, who is also the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) administrative secretary, for his regionalistic remark.

“Our understanding as a party which selflessly fought for democracy in the country, is that he would differentiate between private resources, party resources and public resources,” says the statement.

The party says the public resources does not belong to Mutharika but the people including those from the north.

Some people in social media platforms are asking Mutharika to fire Mphepo in both his public and party positions for promoting regionalism.

UTM’s Saulos Chilima won more votes in the presidential election followed by Malawi Congress Party’s Lazarus Chakwera and Mutharika was placed third in the presidential poll race.

  1. People from the North just stop paying taxes basi self imposed federal system do business with Tanzania screw the southern products.

  2. This dude needs to retire as he has nothing to offer Malawi. He is a TOTAL DISGRACE to NATIONAL UNITY professed by His Excellency the Life President Ngwazi Dr Kamuzu Banda (may his soul rest in peace), the most PRAGMATIC LEADER Malawi has ever had since kicking the British out of Malawi.

    Shame on Francis Mphepo and he needs to be forced to make an public apology if ever Malawi is to heal from the mess and chaos it is in at the moment.

  3. DPP is well known for such remarks. It started with mutharika who was gossiping with mchacha. Then chaponda and now is this grand father called mphepo. All of them very old people trying to divide our country. Very irresponsible and careless old people. Shame on them.

  4. There is no way Malawi can develop with such kind of people controlling the country. Mphepo represents a draconian sect that sees evil and suppression against others as the norm.

  5. Bwanji pakhale matumba awiri a Misonkho …Lina loti Inu a DPP mukatosonkha Misonkho izikhala mmenemo Lina la Omwe si a DPP …Mumationjeza bwanji Pali amene sakudziwa kuti Zitukoko ndi Ndalama Zathu za Misonkho kapena Ngongole zomwe Tidzabwenzi ndi Misonkho yathu ?

  6. We don’t even need a staged apology from DPP first it was Grezelder now Mphepo,DPP hates northerners too much!I wonder whom Goodal,Vuwa,Mrs Mzomera and Jappie are serving if it’s not their bellies may someone school me please!

  7. We in the north also pay tax,we don’t need to bootlick Peter Mutharika or indeed any party leader to get development infact we are already being sidelined by DPP.The quota system has hit us hard,it is an open secret that PSLCE and MSCE results are manipulated to promote those from the Lomwe belt.So Mr Mphepo shut your mouth,keep your “development”,God will soon set us free from Muhlakho wa Alomwe Club you call government.Tilibe nthawi yopembedza mafano!!!!!!

  8. The people of North Malawi are strong. If they can stand on their own,they can prosper faster than what is happening now.U have been punishing them for 54yrs.They are still strong. Quota
    System has come twice in the history of Malawi against the citizens from north Malawi. What else? Whatever punishment you give them, they will survive again. They ask federal system, Mr Mphepo give them if you can,I think u can not do without them. You know it. Majority of them they are able to differentiate between good and bad things. Do not provoke north Malawians. We love them. Remember to keep the peace.

  9. This Mphepo looks like brainless old man so just forgive him. These are kind of people who are leading us into a grave.

    They don’t know what to do and what to say. This man called Mphepo is not supposed even to be working and pay him our taxes but looking after grandchildren but bcoz of nepotism that’s why he earned this position .

    Northerners are Malawians just as central as well as southerners. My mum is from North while my dad is from South which means Malawi is one. Intermarriage is every where, even Mphepo himself might be mixing either with North, central or south .

  10. IF ANYTHING IT IS THE EVER UNGRATEFUL MUTHALIKAS AND DPP WHO CAN BE HEAVILY PUNISHED. LATE BINGU WAS STRONGLY SUPPORTED BY THE HARRY MUKANDAWIRES, WYSON MKOCHIS, GOODAH GONDWE WHEN HE DITCHED UDF,THEN THE COWARD MPHEPOS WERE BUSY DINING WITH THE POWERFUL BAKILI MULUZI. NORTHERNER DONT NEED THE FADING,DYING AND THE LIABILITY CALLED DPP ANYMORE, IT IS THE OTHER WAY ROUND. NORTHERNERS STAND TO BENEFIT FROM THE EVER GROWING AND MAJORITY CHEWA SUPPORTED MCP IN THE NEXT 100 YEARS.TIME FOR THE MINORITY LOMWE POLITICAL DOMINATION IS GONE AND GONE FOREVER.

  11. These are the type of people liked by DPP. Foul mouthed people. If their president is real, definitely tthis wind man has to be dismissed summarily. Unfortunately he is not in touch of these happenings.
