Msowoya, Kaliwo and Kabwila obtain court order against MCP: Retained in their posts 

Malawi Congress Party (MCP) first-vice president Richard Msowoya together with party secretary general Gustav Kaliwo and three other executive members who were suspended last Sunday, have  gone to court for a relief after obtaining an injunction stopping the main opposition party from implementing the decision of the national executive committee (NEC).

Kaliwo: Obtains court order to stop MCP suspension

Former Attorney General Kalekeni Kaphale, who is now in private practice,  represented Msowoya and others  in obtaining the court order.

Kaphale said the injunction was granted by High Court judge Healey Potnai and means Msowouya, who is also Speaker of Parliament, retained his position as MCP first-president and Kaliwo as secretary general.

He also said the court order also retained Jessie Kabwila whom the MCP NEC dismissed .

Others temporarily rescued  are Tondy Kandiero (former s treasurer general) and deputy secretary general Chatonda Kaunda.

“As it is , five members have retained their positions until another court order,” Kaphale said.

MCP NEC resolved on Sunday to suspend Msowoya and Kaliwo pending disciplinary action for their alleged role in destabilising the party.

And on Tuesday this week, newly appointed MCP publicity secretary Ezekiel Ching’oma announced Kabwila’s dismissal and the suspension of the other members

Judge Potani ordered the MCP members to file interpartes summons in 14 days.

The judge also orders MCP and its leadership to respect the court injunction reinstating the officials, warning that if they disobey , MCP president Lazarus Chakwera and others may be found guilty of contempt of court “and may be sent to prison” or fined  of their assets being seized.

Potani said MCP  may apply to court anytime to discharge the order but must inform Kalekeni Kaphale Layers firm  in writing  at least 48 hours beforehand.

    1. You mean pastors are not capable leaders? And you want us pastors to vote for your party? Chakwera is all over. Mentioned more than any person on MBC etc.

  3. Otembo odafunsa Kodi mudawawona o Chakwera ali chairman wa branch kapena Secretary mu MCP? Nanga o Mia mudawawonapo? ha ha ha “Olo atandithira DOOM Mkwamwa sindingavotele MCP” odatelo o Bakili. Mbusa sangayendese chipani cha ndale komanso dziko ndi zinthu zosiyana izi. Ngati chikumukanika chipani ndiye muwapase dziko a Chakwera? kufuna kuwona za a Joyce Banda!!!! DPP Woyeeee

  4. The good thing is that ife ma supporter a MCP we know that the 5 are confusionists and they will lose ku convection-mark my word. awa ena akulemba apawa ndi a DPP-So dont mind them

  5. Kaliwo ndi Kabwira analandira ndalama zambiri ku DPP ndiye kubweza kukuvuta koma Conversion akabudulidwa onse akakhala Msowoya adzipatse ulemu asakhale speaker woyamba kuno ku Malawi opanda mwambo koma enewa Mutharika akufuna ndalama nzake chifukwa akanika kusokoneza. chifukwa chake akukakamira DPP yawapatsa Lawyer Lekeni Kaphale

  6. Vuto a Kongolesi they don’t learn and they don’t change. Zimenezi zidachitikaponso m’nthawi ya Tembo ndi abambo a Chakwamba and it failed. It was only the NEC that was able to remove a bambo a Chakwamba and not NEC. NEC members cannot remove another NEC members. How can laborer fire another laborer, kikikikikikiki. A Malawi Fisi sasitha ai or mutamuchita mutate ma genes in a laboratory, sangasithe. Azungu adachitapo mutate genes a certain fly called Drosophila a thousand times to see whether it can became another species of a fly or even another type animal to prove the theory of Evolution but it remained the same Drosophila and the same fly just with some minor deformities. So MCP will remain MCP how hard it may attempt to change, it will remain MCP a party of death and darkness. Anyone with different idea is considered a rebel and worth firing. Abale Fisi ndi fisi sasitha.
    If I may tell you the MCP black Cock is not really black in color, it is red because of blood of thousands of people murdered under their regime, koma amaoneka wakuda chifukwa ali pa mdima Tambala yu (muchitumbuka tikuti pa chisi)

  7. Let them get injunctions again when they lose their seats next year. That’s when I will salute them

  8. Some of you are linking the MCP troubles to DPP. Sometimes kumamusiya satana azikhala pa mtendere wake. So you think Kabwila,Nsowoya and others are stupid people that can be easily used by DPP. The MCP leader shd not expect the yes bwanas he had during church time….this is politics and constitution has to be followed……wish you well as you tackle the problems to show Malawians your leadership qualities

    1. Not thinking anymore Sir. at the moment its obvious that Msowoya, Kaliwo, Kabwira are working for DPP. The most fortunate part is that anthu adzionera tsopano. The political value of these 3 is quickly diminishing just like what happened with those former District Chairmen. They will not succeed. Their final day is in April.

      1. If you think Msowoya, Kabwira kaliwo and others can not make independent decision then ask yourself what type of leadershp MCP has. See the writing on the wall. MCP 2019 opposition again!!!!

  9. Whatever the case may be the record of the reinstated executive members of MCP has been messed up and this may have negative consequences for those aspiring Parliamentary seats. by now people know who is problem in party.

  10. Branches that do not bear fruits are supposed to be pruned and burnt.. msowoya ndi anzake are as such. Msowoya ndi munthu amene kukaya timutchula chikonyofu/ chizereza kapena tinene kuti chitsiru.. Go and assess his popularity in his constituency…. he is one of the useless guys…. Has never done/said any positive thing for his party. Ise tikumutatawani waka wadada .. Tionanenge next year.

    1. wow. Atumbuka kutukwana mwana wakwawo. Lero enafe tikati tinene kuti a tumbuka ali na suzgo ndiye muziti tili rationalistic.

      1. Ise banthu bakumpoto banandi tikuyikira kumasinda navyauzereza unyakhe ivyo mukuchita banyithu kusika uko cha. Kweni para munthu (kwali ni mulongozi nesi munthu waka) wakuchita nkhalo yawaniche, yawuchigolo, yakujipatula, yakuparanya na nkhalo yinji yaukazuzi; tikumuzuzula kwambura kopha.

        Imwe mwanyithu mukukuwa waka mawoko navambula mutu yayi. Bankhungu bene Mutharika na baMuluzi bamugonekani na njala, kumubirani ndalama nyengo zitali nakumukomerani babale binu nge bena Chasowa, Njauju, Kalonga Stambuli, Matafale na banjakhe banandi.

        UBULU NGUNANDI MWAWANYITHU NDICHIFUKWA CHAKHE BANGEREZI NGE BENE TRUMP BAKUTI MUKUPANGA LACK FORESIGHT.

  11. I don’t see MCP to win the 2019 elections. How can a political wonder become a running mate.he will not even get a 100.000 votes in the south.kugulitsa chipani kuti chiluze.

    1. You are not right Daniel. Just last week your party welcomed 3 political prostitutes namely: B. Mpinganjira, Ken Lipenga and Henry Phoya. Are you aware of that?

  12. Injunction with evil intentions. Come on after eating DPPs money you are still pulling stupid stuns. The den of educated fools.

  13. game on! MCP is the only party so far in Malawi that has ever, suspended vice president, Secretary General and its spokesperson in straight manner and according to party procedures, I hope. And they are free to sue and get court injunctions.

    Otherwise, other parties just withdraw functions of a vice president and give him news blackout and the vp cannot go to court for fear.

  14. MCP just ignore these guys. April convention is around the corner. Non of these will win any position. MCP grassroots does not need or want them. If anything just do a counter court action to keep them busy until April when we will get rid of them.

  15. Patrick Phiri, you don’t know waht you are talking about. Whether you like it or not MCP will carry the day come 2019 General Elections. You will walk with your face down after the 2019 elections because your party will not make it to state house.

    1. A Omex70 simudanenepo zanzeru chiyambire. We can give you statistics that can prove you 100% wrong. Look at the tide. In normal circumstances, the opposition was supposed to gang up against government. Why then are some opposition parties aligning themselves with DPP? You must be very young and myopic of political turbulence at the moment. Tell me which district can DPP fail to amass votes? Tell me how many votes will Lazaro get in the whole Southern Region? All things being equal, DPP would be coming second to MCP in the North but with what MCP is doing to the Northerners like Msowoya, I tell you MCP will have to blame itself for being hungry for money. By the way, between JZU and one amateur Lazaro, who knows and knew politics? ow did one JZU fail to taste the presidency all these years?

      1. You also dont have substance. Azipani zinazo ngati akupita ku DPP ndi chifukwa choti opitawo nawo ngakuba, CASHGATERS, kobisala. John Tembo was in politics too long with bad image already pamene Chakwera is clean and budding politician amene a Malawi ife achinyamata tikufuna. You hunt kuti mumupezere zolakwa Chakwera but it is just hatred. I dont hate our President Peter Muthalika neither anyone from DPP koma comparing Peter and Chakwera honestly the latter is better option. Akanati apikisana ndi Nankhumwa, Chilima, Mchacha Malawians could have challenges to choose. Here the game is won already by MCP just based on the two. During Tembo MCP was not as popular as it is in north central and south. Take this for granted and you will be surprised.

      2. I bet you don’t know how to analyse things. You have missed it. You were here cheating yourself that your party was going to win the October 17 Bye -elections. You goofed miserably. But you haven’t learnt anything from that. Today mukuwerengera mbewa ndi michira yomwe kuti zioneke ngati your party has a largest following. Pakati pa inu bwana kwacha ndi ine zidzadziwika kuti amene amanena za nzeru ndi ndani.

  16. Gentlemen,
    This issue of division in MCP is not natural as it is being portrayed. There is a force somewhere. The government intends to borrow the A Chair strategy that brought Tembo and Gwanga Chakuwamba camps way back in 1999. We have to pray that something natural happens in the ruling DPP, otherwise we are in for a repetition of that scenario.

    1. Mphwanga iwe ukuonekako kuti ukupenyako si enawo ayi amene akulephera kuionera game patali. They think DPP will go to polls as an underdog. Alephera a PAC kumbereka mbusa mzawo. Lero ndi izi.

  17. This should act as an opportunity for MCP to work on a common solution. This shouldn’t be treated as a set back but as a platform for intraparty democracy. Now Dr. Chakwera and Mr. Msowoya find it as chance for the two of you to work together again for the mighty part MCP. Dr. Chakwera, call the concerned individuals to a round table discussion and map the way forward for the mighty MCP. You cant afford to have divisions in the party at the time Malawi sees MCP as the alternative government. Dr. Chakwera, time has now come for the nation to see your leadership skills. What you showed the nation on the day you decided to suspend your NEC leaders was incompetence and intolerance. We have high hopes with you being the leader in Malawi but we need you to trade carefully as such divisions have a potential to alienate you from the masses. Learn to have an inclusive leadership that is capable of propelling the party into Government. Msowoya and the team are not your enemy but they just want you to follow the MCP constitution.

    1. The idiots (zigandanga) Chi Msowoya, Chi Jesse (Jezebel), Chi Kaliwo (Gang’a) ndi zinzawo are just a waste of time to summon them to a round table. They think they own MCP noooooo. Convention ikuchedwa so we can see Msowoya akunyeredwa ngati wayamba kale kuonetsa mantha about competition. NEC should appeal, we dont need these people in MCP anymore. Akayambe chipani chawo chija mbuzi zachabechabe izi.

      1. I understand you Finye. But the least MCP needs now is division. Regardless of the fact that MCP doesn’t need these people, there is need to respect the party’s constitution. There is already a proposal that convention should be held in April which is just two months from now. Then why fire some NEC members now. As you have said, let them be humiliated at the convention. And as you have rightly said, they may be fearing that humiliation and that can also be true with the Chakwera team. You may not know may be Chakwera team fears this other faction and hence firing them before the convention. But these are just mere speculations. What MCP needs now is a united front that is tolerant and aiming for the common goal that higher goal of getting into government and MCP needs everyone on their side.

        1. There is none among those suspended who can compete against Chakwera and win. MCP under Chakwera is a very good party than you used to know. Chakweras name is mentioned most times in DPP rallies than Peter Mutharikas name, that shows how popular and good the MCP leader is. Munazolowera zomuloza chala JZU when he was the leader kuti ali ndi magazi mmanja, koma muziti chiyani za Chakwera? Is he the first church leader to join politics in Malawi????? Remember the Dumbos, Kalesos, current Mzomera Ngwira etc whose their background is from the church. Every institution has laws and if you choose to do the contrary you disciplinary action

      2. Iwe Finye, anthuwa sanalakwe, they are simply demanding constitutionalism in the party. If Chakwera is allowed to violate the constitution, how can he be entrusted with the national constitution?

        1. Don’t be surprised Patrick. This Finye is behaving like most MCP supporters. They don’t have facts but are quick at swearing at others. Signs of a loser. How can you wish to be democratic if you violate the same principles of democracy? Lero mutukwanana simunati. Ena ati kuyetsetsa kubweretsa ka equation ka confusion mu DPP koma adabwa DPP ili njiiii ngati chitsulo cha njanje. Iyo chitukuko ikutibula daily. Mvula yavutayi mkhokwe zawo chimanga thooooo. Palibe afe ndi njala. Ena amafuna chimanga tigulitse lero ufiti wawo waonekera aliyense wadzindikira tsono.

    2. Unfortunately, Chakwera is a perennial violator of the constitution. He thinks by being the party president he is above the constitution. Malawians need to be very careful with Chakwera. He is a potential dictator if given the chance to be a state president. Fortunately for Malawi, he will never be one.

      1. Better dictator than family presidents, than dynasties which are fertile grounds for dictatorships too. Enawo tawayesa kale tawona zabwino zawo pamene zalekezera. Peter ndi president wabwino koma osati wabwino kuti athane ndi mavuto mMalawi. Ena abwere. Tamuwona kuyambira ali Minister. Apume a president. Anyamata dont push him, he needs to rest and enjoy. He has everything he needs to rest, actually he will have some honour. We want achinyamata aku DPP kuti tiwavotere ife.

        Vuto lina anthu tikamangomva DPP timadziwa kuti chipani cha banja la a Muthalika. UDF chipani chaku nyumba ya a Bakili. Abale pasanikoni ena mpata ndi Democracy iyi. I believe the president is just okay koma inu omuzunglira, please……

    3. Ovolasi Valani which round table are you talking about? Was the NEC meeting which was called not the right forum to discuss that? Why did they choose not to attend? Thats why tikuti they dont want to save MCP they have evil intentions. They can not be bigger than the rest of NEC members

  18. MCP SHOULD RESPECT THE COURT ORDER AND SHOULD APPEAL THE INJUNCTION. DONT ATTENPT TO DISOBEY THE COURTS, PLEASE.

  19. These idiots (Msowoya, Kaliwo, Kabwira) I dont understand them anymo. Why getting injunction when u said you are forming your party? You should be ashamed of yourselves here in MCP we are done with you, imbeciles!!!! Lead our lips, you are IDIOTS and you should belong to DPP not MCP.

    1. Koma kumeneko! Chaka chake ndi chino. Mudyana simunati. No wonder Prof Chisi wanena zoona kuti bvuto mu MCP mwachuluka mbuli zedi. Anaymata a std 8 kulimbana ndi anthu amabuku awo odziwa malamulo. Nanga chingerezi chake chimenecho?

      1. School simachotsa uchitsiru, so is this Chisi. He is not a good stakeholder, he completely in 2014. If I remember he did he was one of worst perfomers. He is seeking symphathy from DPP coz politically Chisi has no future

  20. Kalekeni Kaphale is dpp we all know that and he was Attorney General just last year. Shame on you and you days are numbered. We all know that is the tactic of DPP to bring confusion so that people should say look a MCP akuyambana okha okha za Ziiiiii! MCP is loved by all Malawians those tactics are cheap tactics and will be contained at convention and we will see the Msowoya people if they will sail through.

    1. Musaonetse umbuli abale poyerayera by saying all Malawians love MCP? Kusukulu mudachedwako ngati? Tsono inuyo mutakhala kuti ndi inu mamuna. Mukukangana mbanja mwanu. Ndiye nkumanena kuti oPhiri ndi omwe akupangitsa kuti muzikangana. Zaka nkumapita. Pomwe oPhiri mbanja mwawo ali pheeee. Tsono pakati pa inu ndi oPhiri anthu aziti wanzeru ndi ndani?

  21. You may try to confuse us or make us hate one another but when the dust has settle we will remain one strong family and you will wear the shame on your face forever

  22. You foolish Idiots, just form your party, we don’t need you, why destabalising the party you pretend to love? Stupit Msowoya and Kaliwo you don’t have any mark in politics. MCP helped you to be speaker now you decide to turn against it, get out Mtumbuka odzikonda iwe or go to your sponsors DPP.

    1. Anzathu opalasa fumbi inu, you mean you didn’t see this coming? Or the whole kangaroo court that evicted these people didn’t know? You mean Chakwera didn’t see this coming? Kumene kuli Mia ko angoti koma zidude ndazipezelera. Akadzangoganiza kuti anene kuti akuluakulu ndabwelera mbuyo ndipamene MCP idzachite cholera. By the way, a Mia wo ali ndi zingati zoti mpaka Lazaro amatibera chakhumi ku Assemblies yu achite kufa naye mutu? Bwanji sadawinitse JB pamene anali mboma?

      1. Mukumva kuwawa mukulamulira. Nanga mutachoka? kkkkkk. That will be the end of DPP.

  23. MCP is a party of confused people. How can they suspend and fire members for telling their leader that his actions were not in tune with their own constitution. If the party leader is failing to uphold provisions of the party’s constitution, would he manage to uphold the national constitution? A political party is different from a Church where you can ex-communicate members. Even in a Church, you cannot ex-communicate someone anyhow. Chakwera is a more dangerous dictator than Kamuzu was.

    1. Typical thinking of a dick head Cadet, you fired Joyce Banda and Khumbo Kachali, together with the Anita Kalindes, you moron who has a memory as small as a chickens

      1. Okay. Tsono mukuti popeza DPP idayendera iyi nafenso tiyendere yomweyo eti? Nchifukwa chake munthu ouma mutu ngakhale mutampatsa mayeso kuti akopere ma answer samakhonza. Mind you, DPP imasewera ndale zaketu monyansa kwambiri. Mwachepa ngakhale mubere ma style simukwanitsa ndi izi mukugwa nazozi. Muwafunse oBaba oTembo.

        1. Komanso inu. mmmm. Your arguments lack substance. Malamuro amayikidwa to be followed. If not then actions follow. Thank God Chakwera has more time now on MBC. I can watch MBC now even when nzonyoza zokhazokha. Komano his physical appearance speaks more. Ena amane sanamuonepo Chakwera MBC is helping them on daily basis. Blessing in disguise.

    2. Where is Kaliati? Kaliati ali kuti? Kumpalume? Chilima? Chaponda anachotsedweranji pa unduna?

  24. What will you be doing you stiff necked fools? We are done with you. The courts are not the grassroots. Msowoya is fooling you. Why did you not want Mia to join MCP? Does MCP belong to you? Those who started MCP like Orton Chirwa left the party and the party survived without them. This is not a family party like DPP and UDF which will die with the family members.

  25. Mukupanga matukutuku yet you know your political future is with MCP. How are you going to work with people whom you can not associate with? You want to be working in isolation but in the name of MCP. It does not work like that, you were called to the meeting but you chose not to attend, which is which and you still want to be part of MCP family. Umbuli umenewo and thats why tikuti akukutumani and your aim is to bring confusion and divisions in MCP. We are saying start your own party or join DPP, it is as simple as that otherwise come convention you know you will not retain your positions. A Msowoya ndiye kusonyezeratu kuti you are not democratic, you dont want competition.
