Mtambo accuses Malawi President of ‘making noise in silence’ over Nacgate
Malawi’s renowned human rights activist Timothy Mtambo has faulted President Peter Mutharika’s continued silence on the controversy that saw First Lady’s Beautify Malawi (Beam) Trust and Mulhako wa Alhomwe collect money from National Aids Commission (NAC), citing his mute as suspicious.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with Nyasa Times, the CHRR boss, who is also the spokesperson of the 13th January nationwide demonstrations organized by civil-society groups, indicated that Malawians were still disturbed to-date that President Mutharika and his government [through the Ministry of Health] had decided to remain “silent” on such an important matter like “NACGATE” which was doing more harm than good to his government’s image locally and internationally.
“Why is the President quiet? Does it mean that NACGATE scandal is of no ultimate concern to his government’s professed efforts towards reduction of HIV and AIDS in the country? Why is the President not condemning the act, and calling for swift action in the matter? queried Mtambo.
According to Mtambo, President Mutharika’s continued “silence” may be interpreted by the general public as consent to NACGATE especially considering the media-related propaganda launched by his government against Beam’s refusal to return NAC money and other governance and economic concerns.
“The President’s silence on the matter is making a lot of noise, and to a greater extent his silence may be implied as consent to the malpractice. Yes, such conclusion seems to be well backed up when you see the deep commitment and vigilance Peter Mutharika’s regime has attached to media-related propaganda on both state and its privately controlled media establishments against human rights defenders who have decided to expose NACGATE, and in the process arousing more questions than answers,” argues Mtambo.
State House press office said presidential aides such as Dr Collins Magalasi and Mabvuto Bamusi have been making public comments on the matter and that it did not necessarily need the Head of State to speak himself.
Mtambo also took a swipe to brush off accusations by critics of the street protests.
“Allegations that our planned 13th January 2015 national demonstrations are a rushed one are totally misplaced, and only indicates lack of objectivity on such persons.
“A background of a series of press statements on the subject calling for action, followed by a 7-days ultimatum for the implicated parties to respond and refund the money coupled by a strategic slating of 13th January 2015 (4 weeks after the lapse of the 7-day ultimatum) just to give room for a possible engagement towards the total refunds of the money can never be said to be a rushed idea,” argued Mtambo.
Added Mtambo: “It is beyond reasonable doubt that there was no any political will from the implicated institutions let alone Mutharika’s regime to engage the CSOs concerned with NAC-gate, that is, if the arrogance we have received from NAC, BEAM and Mulhakho Wa Alhomwe is anything to go by. If anything, staging the demonstrations immediately after the lapse of a 7-day ultimatum in mid-December would perhaps arguably be said to have been a rushed idea.”
He said the CSOs feel they have “exhausted all the necessary channels” on the issue, saying the street protests shall also provide Malawians the platform to air out the prevailing governance and economic concerns apart from NACGATE.
“No government-orchestrated propaganda will stop us from this path of reason,” said the outspoken Mtambo.
He said the activists are “more than determined” to fight their cause to the very end in the interest of all Malawians and human rights for all.

people both locally and internationally are watching with keen interest what will become of the nacgate.such arrogance by ht eculprits of the nacgate will not take us anywhere.the biggest problem with all malawians these days is that when looking at issues we do not do that objectively, we first of all look at our party colours then see what we can do to make our party clean.work up malawians this country is for all of us whether you voted for the party in power or in opposition cause when inflation goes up everybody will be affected.
Koma zinazi. Why should this young man, not given mandate to rule by Malawians challenge the state President in this manner. How clean, moral, educated etc is this a Mr. Mtambo. Please stop giving platform to non entities. This is the downside of democracy, freedom of speech and human rights. Sick and tired of petty issues in Malawi. Everything is too politicised.
Asatitopese a Mtambo wa with his silly accusations towards APM. Had it been Bakili Muluzi bweziso zili chonchi!! The whole time APM is keeping quiet, yeyo Mtambo is making a lot of empty noise. Sometimes tiziganiza tikafuna kunena mfundo zo tsogolotsa dziko lathuli kuti tipite mbali limodzi… I’m surprised that he’s not congratulating the president on the Kwacha gaining some momentum, please criticise our president objectively osati kumangomu crasha and kupezela mistake pena pali ponse… Za ziii!!
Friend, the cosmetic appreciation of the kwacha will cost ur children and entire malawians billions as interests and coverups since the money has bn borrowed unofficially by govt against ur to be back breaking 2015 tobacco. Govt is infact lying to itself coz this will soon catch up on them
Kodi mtambo cimene ukufuna ndiciani kwa pitala? Sukuziwa kuti ukuwonetsa umbuli penapake?
Adada mtambo vitayeni ivyo vikusyuzgeni comene.
Kodi mtambo president acite coment ziti? Iwe mbuli eti? Osamgoyamba ndale bwanji?
Eni ake anac anena kuti sanalakwitse pogwiritsa ncthito ndalama za nac ku msonkhano wamlakho. Ndiye iwe uzikati ai mwalakwa? Cifukwa ciani kodi? MWATUMIDWA ETI?
I am shocked at the blindness and hate most of you have against mtambo and the tumbukas.
Nac as I recall has a budget of around K350bn and Goodall Gondwe’s budget for the whole country is about K770bn. Nac’s budget alone is therefore about 50% of the national budget. And the president of the Malawi should be silent when nac money is being abused? That is where your tribalism, corruption and thieving is killing Malawi’s development.
When we say the president and his dpp govt are incompetent, corrupt and know nothing about good governance there you have the evidence staring at you.
The president should be addressing the nation, not Mtambo as some of you with twisted heads are suggesting. Mtambo is a nobody but nac money is dearest and very important to malawians.
Do you know why the president is silent on nac money? He is silent because he is guilty by association with many other organisations, such as NGOs, govt depts, tribal groupings, foundations, beam, etc of misusing nac money for dubious purposes over many years.
Forget about mtambo and others, any proactive and intelligent president with very good advisors would have responded immediately when an organisation with a budget half of the national budget is missusing and wasting money as nac has been doing over the years. After all he the president is heavily involved in reshuffling and firing nac personnel, why? Because he knows nac is very important!!!
So you can insult and kutukwane a tumbuka but you are the ones looking stupid, being swindled by the same people amene akukuberani ndalama zanu.
Nac money is a lot of money, funded by foreign donors, is that not another good enough reason for the president to come out so that donors believe that we are serious about stopping this thieving and abuse of nac money?
We all love Malawi abale Inu. We are mostly Christians and we don’t want to seek the truth?
Pitani ku demoko. Koma ziwani kuti sikukakhala anthu ambili bcoz most of malawians knw wat is behind Mtambo & his crew. Kodi campaign yanu ya mathanyula ija mwasiya? Kumangoulukila kwina kulikonse komwe kukupita mphepo. Fotseki Mtambo .
Have these csos engage government in direct discussions over the said issues? I find it very unreasonable to support u because u act like uncivilized family limene limati likayambana onse awiri amatuluka mnyumba ndikumatukwaniza ndi kumenyana panja ena kumaonelera ndi kumakwiizira. I undrestand that u have only used the media on this issue and not direct confrontation. Mukuopa chani kuitanitsa onse okhudzidwa ndikukambirana ndikupeza njira yothetsera nkhaniyi mwabata kapena tinene kuti amene musakuwafunira amalawi zabwino ndinuyo pofuna kuti global fund isiye kuthandiza nac. Komanso anthu ake mukutsogoleranu mmmmmm a sembereka, a kwataine, akuti akuti si pp yokhayokha iyi kuwawidwa mtimatu uku kuti gule anatha adakakoma satero wamtima wankhwidzi amafa ndi mtima vomerezani and start afresh zikuyenderani osati izi ayi. The way u present ur facts just shows that ur frustrated look at the term nacgate it shows that u r offended when pipo use this gate term and u want them to be seen in the same boat with u sorry.
let the demo be done so that we shall see the right thing ok
Mtambo you must have limitation on other issues. You are now getting much in politics than your row in cso. I think you are having a person agenda with the president. APM is malawi president not BEAM official.
Anthu do not take this kumitndu kuba ndi kuba mugo bwebweta asiyeni apange demoyo mukuopa chani? nde mukuziwa kuti munabadi
Ntambo is not a renowned activist but renowned TRIBALIST. He is making all this noise because the president is a Lomwe period. However let it be known to you and your supporters that you will fail big time. APM and the people who love this country will have the last laugh. That is why I said sometime back that the federalism/succession issue should be supported so that these people should have their own country.
The President cannot be commenting on everything like a head of an NGO. There are responsible parties to comment on issues that concern them. This is not a national issue by and measure; not as yet.
Nac is very important!!!
Mwati wisest president peteryo mmmmmmmm? Koma !!!!. If wise means zko kwambiiiiriw ndiye kuti kulibenso anthu anzeru tonse mbarata basi.zoona zikommmo kwammmbiri zikhale wise, wisdom. Kayya
Mtambooooo, a purely, typical, primitive, uncultured TUMBUKAAA. Sangamve, sangaphunzire- HOPELESS!
But your uncivic choice of words here displays more primitiveness which is hiding inner insecurity.
Foregate castigation from His excellency the Presidedent to your castigations , mind you its only those who are oroffessors can talk about him not you others , trouble yourself ankafumbwe will do away with you like maize grains kkkkkkkk
Others can be foreseen you’ve anger in you of unknown,Tricks are being made and fail, this and fail, but know this if you wish some body bad that bad turns to be yours, mind you ,all what you are trying is to mount unneccessary pressure to the siting President so that he should be underpressure , believe me you that will bear no single fruit reason being its distractive and Negative to Malawi as a Nation.
Let the issue of Tumbukas be out of this.Every cause someone from the Tumbukas belt champions automatically some short sighted minds in this country come to antagonise it Why? Let us look at facts not always having perceptions of tribalism.Are the Tumbukas not human beings.It is very sad that some people in this very very very poor country of Malawi have the audacity to say they hate the Tumbukas very much.Why?There is a God who is seing whatever is happeing in Malawi.With those tribalistic stance no wonder Malawi is a very cursed country.No matter what you may debate,no matter what strategies you will put in place there will be no positive development in Malawi unless we practice LOVE.LOVE.Love you neighbour as you love yourself.These tribalistic hatrade will not lead us any where.By the way Malawi can be the very least country in the world to practice apartheid,tribalism because we have nothing to show.Ignorance??
KKkkkkk kodi anzathu a cashgate yodziwikanu , mwati muyesereko kuti the current government kuiikapo cashgate yanuyo , kodi cashgate ndikuba ndalama kuchokera ku bomatu society donation like what NAC did if at all NAC did, but the most funny is IT SHOWS YOU HAVE TRIED MORE TO FAIL apm ‘S aDMINISTRATION BUT PROVES NO AVAIL.Sorry to you all bad wishers because with God things goes opposite IF GOD SAY YES NOBODY NOBODY SAY NO NO MATTER WHAT , Therefore be advised you all that GOD is in control, He ruins MAlawi as anation.
One word to Mtambo and your group you all are doing very wrong to Malawi as anation and you end yeilding lemons out it because what you are planning its evil to Malawians, hate or love it but unless if you have consulted the most high GOD of Universe
a Mtambo mukayenda NDA kazi anu kunsewuko
HE the state president APM is the wisest president Malawi has ever had. He never commented on FEDERALISM and it died a natural death. Timothy Foolish Mtambo is afraid that if HE the state President does not comment, NACGATE will also die a natural death. so he wants to involve him. My advice to APM is do not comment this stupid war. This is the war by Tumbukas against the Lomwes. The Tumbukas do not want to be ruled by the Lomwes so they want to pull APM down, Malawians know this NDIYE MUYALUKA ngati momwe munayalukira za FEDERALISM.
The CSOs are themselves up to their necks in the swindling of money from NAC. These demonstrations should go on, but the target is not BEAM or Mulakho if they benefited, that means the problem is the with the criteria used by NAC and this means that NAC has wrong criteria for awarding funds and a lot of money is being siphoned from NAC. Let us go and seal NAC offices until a complete forensic audit is done.
Sad. even sadder. Mtambo muchitanazo manyazitu izi. Dzitayeni amwene
Are the demos organised byCSO or political parties. i wonder that people involved are mebers of the opposition parties eg sembereka(pp), kwataiwe(pp), trapence(pp) mtambo(pp)kabwira (mcp)
Poor Mtambo, literally sulking that the president is not engaging in public debate or a tit for tat with him, trapence and sembereka over this useless issue that NAC approved funds to some organisations.
Look, organisation X applied for funding just like everyone else, NAC (not organisation X) approved the funding based on its own policies. So where is the problem with organisation X?
If you are not happy with the approval, surely you can query NAC to justify (which NAC already did!).
So now you want the president to comment on this issue? Is the president the approving officer for NAC funding applications?
Malawian NGOs are pityfully dull and always dressing themselves in political filth. There is so much more that they can focus on but they’d rather be used as foot stools to various political players in the country in exchange for alms. A corrupt and savage lot always barking, barking, barking and barking some more….for nothing!
If u don’t c a problem NAC giving Monet yo beautify Malawi n mulhako then u are the problem
The problem is with NAC you idiot!
Timothy you are now becoming personal. Peter cannot just comment on any silly issue. There is segregation of duties. You should as BEAM and NAC officials to comment. You are just a lazy person who cannot find a meaningful occupation but to beg from donors. There are enough big problems in Malawi for Peter to concentrate on than on your bitterness. Ukulowa nkati tsopano. Behave yourself. Do not disrespect elders its God who chose them. Ask Mwakasungura he will tell you.
All Tumbukas are useless. Indeed they are useless because of how they handle this issue. First Tumbukas be aware that you are regarded as selfish tribe because of how you handle national issues. Its an obvious thing that NACgate if you want to call it that way, is an offspring of cashgate.During the main cashgate the time of JB you did not do any demonctration yet you were existing and major cashgate broke out..
Then why today when money exchanged hands between NAC and BEAM in a mutual understanding and the money was spent openly.NAC members were there enjoying the function. If anything its NAC that is a thief not BEAM. Its our culture that if somebody steals an item and shares that to you, the recipient is not the thief but the one who has stolen, a quote from JB. This statement was produced when you Mtambo was there as you used attending JB meetings. DYERA BWANJI AGARU INU ATUMBUKA. Munya muona.
Malawians are also surpised as why CSOs do not squeeze the balls of NAC itself. Why a mare recipient like BEAM.
As if that is not enough you are pushing APM into the matter he has not played any action. Why? I must tell you Mtambo that if your wife has stolen vegetables from your neighbour’s garden its Mrs Mtambo whose breasts will be squeezed not the balls of Mr Mtambo unless this is a culture of useless Tumbukas. Tell me. Satero ayi. Leave APM alone. APM and Getrude Muthalika are not the same.
Worsestill JB received over K&# million kwacha. Who knows this is the corporate responsibility of NAC. Musawalakwitse a NAC. This is exactly what you were doing with Mbendera of MEC.
Thats why this online paper is quoting Tumbukas as useless tribe of Malawi. The word of free advice is letting you Tumbukas to leave for north your motherland. Dont you
hear? The confused minority homos. You never win any national argument. If you think currently DPP has a poor followers, then you are cheating your self, this is the time it is well organized. Dare it.
Try to take advice from private radios. All are against national demonstration at the expenses of giving dialogue a chance at least. Useless Tumbukas think twice. After all you die easily during demo. Or you want compensations. Over my dead bodies.
Do you include Kyungu in your description of Tumbuka uselessness?
iwe ntambo.ngati umamenyela ufulu wa anthu pita ku nthyolo ukamenyele ufulu wa ana o alandidwa malo amasiye.uwafuse amij akulondolele wamva? ufiti nasi? .azungu akangosiy kuthandiza odwalafe uziwanso.tizikakhala kwanu.
Ndikutsimikizireni pano kuti ndimadana ndizonyoza mtundu wa munthu aliyense kodi amalawi zimenezi nde mwazitenga kuti nanga zafika liti muziko mwathu muno? Kodi mumaziwa kuti munthu wina aliyense analengedwa ndi mulungu? Love and Peace is the way of life if you insult other pipos tribe or colour then you are not enjoying the precious gift which is (life) so guys lets change the way we live we are all Malawians,mbite!!!
Number 12 your argument ndiyomvetsa chisoni. The problem is you don’t see how other democracies work. Obama comments on a lot of issues the only thing I have heard him openly deny to comment was the issue in Ferguson where he cited there was court proceedings and din’t want to influence any decision. Cameron comment on almost everything apart from issues in the court of Law.
In Malawi it the opposite, they comment on issues in court and not such issues that are disturbing Malawians. He needed to say something about this developments economy etc. Is his concern only the Cashgate? Remember Joyce admitted kunali Cashgate during her tenure, if she was personally involved we are yet to see. Koma the evidence dates back 2005, how can we treat a tree from the top? Don’t we treat it from the root? Why start dealing with outcome and not the cause or its very origins. For government to say kuti ‘yes evidence ilipo koma tiyambe kaye dealing with Cashgate ya 2/3 years ago kaye’ serious? What about that of which happened 7 years ago? Insanity and being clueless comes to mind.
Mulungu alanga onse awa!!
Iwe #9, walembadzo sidzikugwirizana, mutu ngati tchipisi
Keep the fire burning Mtambo! Areal Northerner but fighting for Malawians. No fear!
Kodi ma demo amenewa akupanga against Peter or nac or govt or beam kapena mulhakho? Coz I don’t think its necessary kuti president should speak… Even ma demo are not necessary. Malo moti tizipanga ma demo against ma company ogula fodya amangowabela alimi apa…
No matter what!!! APM is not going to give you money -go and demonstrate the onus is on you PERIOD!!!!!!! is NAC Mtambo?
Aphalemwe ninji izo mukutukwanizana apa? Tonsene ndi a Malawi tiphate mabasa limoji, tikondane kuti jiko yathuyi iyende mwadidi. Now the President, as a leader, is not expected to be commenting on everything. You know in Government there are systems and ways of dealing with issues and we can only let those systems to work. Again as Malawians, let’s not cause mischief-thinking we are directing it at the president, because they may end up negatively affecting the development of the same Malawi-which we claim to be our sweet home. Angakhonzeka anadzalonga nafe, panombo timpatse mpata.
KKKKK now i know why, in a class, others will pass while others fail after using the same resources. It can tell from the comments below and arguments by T. Mtambo above. BEAM, NAC and MWA are orgs and a cultural grouping. Someone in the name of rights activist wants to push the Proffesor/lawyer/President to speak for these organisations and others are busy clapping hands for this mad activist. it is clear from the article that Timothy wanted a confrontation with the president to mark it as a success. Mind you Timothy, the rights you are fighting for are not for all Malawians but your family and those funding you. We know this. Let’s see how you finish this fight.
I like your comment MAN lets see how Timoteyo ameneyu will finish this fight .I love my president APM no matter what and I love DPP all and all I love my country Malawi and you Timoteyo mind you tongue or else……….
WE NEED A THOROUGH FORENSIC AUDIT AT NAC FOR THE BETTERMENT OF POOR MALAWIANS OUT THERE PLEASE !!!
Mtamboyo amaphunzira chani kwa a Chikandako?
Mtambo, stop being an idiot for once. APM cannot open his mouth because you are asking him to do so. He is a man of principles and he has to follow protocols. Do think all the president are the same that they can engage in silly arguements with you. The president is not responsible for the dispensation of NAC funds, neither is he the director of BEAM. Its not a problem that he is a Lomwe that he can answer for those organisations. No president has been an overseer of what is happening at NAC. Does the president control who should NAC give funding? Does the president read and agree with proposals that are sent to NAC? What do you want the president to say. Should he even take over from Human rights charity you are in. Do we want the president to be a dictator over everything that happens in our charities. Stop being silly man.
Just go ahead with your planned demos and leave the president out of your callousness!
My name is Kadakwiza, I believe all nations to leave together with love. Malawians must do everything together as a nation. Let us eat, dance,mourn together. The syndrome of Tumbuka this, tumbuka that, will not help. If we want to fight together with one spirit. Malawi could have been long time ago. Koma kukokana kokana.
These CSO’s were so active during Bingus regime and they went underground when Joyce Banda was president despite all those scandals like cashgate and about the misapproriation of presidential Jet funds.They have started making noise now when Peter is at the helm. APM is not directly involved the way Joyce was and this is suspicious. It seems CSO led by Tumbukas have hatred towards the Lomwes. This is not all about APM. Am glad us Chewas are not involved in this fight.
Malawians please join hands and fight bad governance. I feel sorry when some bad citizens keep on insulting Atumbuka. History has it that These Tumbukas have always fought for the freedom you are enjoying now. Dating to Usamunda up to the so called Democracy. So whether you like it or not , Tumbukas are TUMBUKAS. Lets just face facts and leave the Tumbuka issue out of the ground.
Guys, you have to understand that this leader was put there by the Hand of God. The Bibe tells us to respect the authority. I tell you, sometimes anthufe timalandilamatembelero because timafuna tikhale mouthpeace ya Mulungu pamene sanatipange appoint. Ainai let’s just leave them in the hands of God. Let HIm judge. Let’s respect our leader. Sindili mu chipani chilichonse and I will never choose to do so. I love my nation so much. nane ndimafuna zinthu ziyende. koma zinazi tizingoyang’ana. bwanji tiyambe kupempha Ambuye kuti amutsogolere President kuti He should make the right decisions. And by the way, nkhani yomanyoza atumbukayi ikutikwana. sibwino!!
Malawi is full of idiots thats a fact. All countries in Southern Africa laugh at us. A good testament is the tribalistic comments we read here. Many are not intelligent enough to think beyond their nose. We the poorest because we have too many idiots in the country who can be duped or taken for a silly ride without questioning. All those hating Mtambo are just some of the idiots we have unfortinately.
Mtambo’s idiocy is now outed and is all there for everyone to see. with all his foolishness he hought he could engage the whole president in this game of chipako. Does he think the president could stoop so low as to engade this idiot in a verbal war? Now that his atempts to gain cheap popularity thru verbal tirades exchange with the president has clearly been frustrated chayambano kumupweteka yekha. Mtambo, with your chicken brain u though you could fool the president. Peter is a Democrat. He knows who directly runs BEAM and MWA that is why he left those responsible to answer for themselves. Meanwhile he has come out to articulate development policy he has engaged well meaning citizens busines captains and religious leaders on truly national issues. There is no way Peter will treck your foolih path because he knows you and your band of jobless coleagues are looking to provoke him to get an angry response. Mbuzi yamunthu iwe uzingomenyerera ufulu ogonana azibambo okhaokha kapena azimayi okhaokha basi.
kodi mtambo ndi mbuli yophunzira eti?akuyendesa bungwe la beam ndi president umafuna alankhule zoti bwanji.anthu ngati inu tatopa nanu kumalawi kuno. tsiku lina tizakuyenderani pamseu.mzako mwakasungura amatero ndi chani chomwe chinasintha ku malawi kuno chifukwa cha kulankhula, iwenso wayambapo amalawi lero anadzukatu watch out.
Mutharika is a guilty man. He stole Malawi Housing Corporation houses in similar duping style, crook to the core. He cant say anything, he is as useless as he comes. Visit the website of his college in USA and read what students commented about him. Useless man.
Ntambo needs to be put where he belongs. For those who know this guy, he is a noise maker. Someone who fails to balance his emotions when talking. He is a foolish eloquent speaker who fails to moderate hia ideas and shape them to a fact. You want APM to respond to the NAC issue and Mlakho wa Alomwe why? He is the state president, he needs to chose who to respond. Hr can not just respond to attention seekers and greedy Tumbukas like Ntambo. This issue is not about the people of Malawi and NAC or the president but between Tumbukas and non-tumbukas. Am afraid because the coming demonstrations will be patronised by Tumbukas only and fews foolish and dull non-tumbukas. Let us see, if you nepotistic Tumbukas will succed.
Mtumbuka or no Mtumbuka we are going on streets come 13 January – mbava za Dpp zikhaula basi
Mtambo Learn to respect. APM Is not a mere Person like you.He’s the state President not the head of microscopic organisation like you. He’s got wisdom. Wakutuma akupweteketsa iwe mtambo. Akusapota nyansi zakozo ndi

My fellow Mutumbuka Timothy Mtambo, kuwatinkha ba President yayiiiiii! Wapurika? HE APM and his government have much more relevant issues to deal with than to engage in tirades with mercenaries like yourselves. Is your battle with NAC or with the President and his government? Or is it with the Ministry of Health and the Global Fund? Leave the President to focus on putting the economy right and develop the country rather than engage with idiots like yourselfs, your masters and your fellow bootlickers.
Baseless accusations………….
One stupid of official from Ministry of Healthy and NAC said BEAM and MWA can get funding from NAC because they are also affected by the ependemic. Based on their reasoning, may I, here then encourage all political parties, football clubs, Netball Clubs and Bars to access funds from NAC as they are equally affected.
Njokatu sindiwo ukadwa umakhala half mad kwinakonkumayipidwa ndi other tribes zopusa basi.
Foolish Timothy Mtambo kupanga phokoso ndi zopanda pake nkhope ngati nyani iwe.
Friends, the strategy of blaming it all on Tumbuka people has outlived its purpose. Malawians now know better. It is just not working – what with the hundreds of thousands of our kin from south and centre who are peacefully working and doing businesses in all northern districts.
What about Kapito Kwataine, Ngoma, Trapence, Sembereka, are they Tumbuka?
Mtambo insists that APM should rise up and talk because he wants him to conduct business in the manner his previous president did. Joyce Banda is herself and APM is a totally different person, infact leadership styles differ and mostly done dependent on individuals. Give the president and government a break you sods. One idiot even has the audacity to claim that DPP was declared winners by a tumbuka, no that is not true. That lawyer was not defending anybody on that particular day other than merely interpreting the law after seeing that some people wanted to hijack the legal system. Actually APM is at the state lodge because himself, Chilima and DPP as a party won the May General Elections last year. Whether one likes it or not, that is the structure on the driving seat till 2019 and/or beyond. APM is the head of state and not a mouth piece of the state, that is why whenever there is an official statement to be made it is either Nankhumwa, Mkondiwa or the state house press representatives who will talk what the president wants Mtambo and company to hear and possibly quench their thirst. Following the previous regimes management styles is a non-starter and does not suit DPP’s way of managing government businesses.
In Malawi there is freedom of expression which also means freedom to remain silent. So do not force someone to speak. We Malawians voted him because he does not like to speak anyhow as other presidents have been doing. Silence means wisdom.
I believe that Mr Mtambo and his cronies knows that they are empty tins like them that use to make noise. APM knows that “More time patience is more eloquent than words hence his silence.
My free advice to Mtambo and his fellow JB sympathizers is that they learn to differentiate some issues like this one of BEAM and NAC and the Presidency.
Please don’t provoke him (APM) poti even my Holy Bible do say that “pochuluka mawu zolakwa sizisoweka ayi”
All in all, God Bless Malawi!!!!!!!!!!
FINE NDANVAPO .
Mtumbuka ndi mtundu umene satana amagwiritsa ntchito kwambiri ku malawi kuno.
Aloleni anthu awa apite kwao akapange dziko lao, tatopa nawo mapeto ake tiyamba kuwachitira nkhanza a Butumawa.
I will not be surprised if the demos will be attended by people from the north only. It is not in the interest of malawians to be bickering on nothings. Ntambo, Empty
I think I agree with the one who said little education is mo dangerous than no education at all mr ntambo let’s face it. NAC was threatened to fund mulakho and BEAM and they gave out money that came from global fund. NAC thinks there was nothing wrong with the transaction and global fund the owner of the money and embassies representing donor countries are quiet possibly in agreement ontop of that the GF says it is not expecting a refund. I dont seem to understand where your argument is coming from. I think you have a personal battle to fight and I can assure you today that you are free to do so and we as malawians we will let you fight your personal battle alone simumuona munthu ndimmozi akutulika it will be you and your friends of like minds
Prof APM is not the empty tin to make unnecessary noise with buluthus and I like his quiteness.lf you want to be popular find another means not with the President.Mwalemba m’madzi even the late Prof BM amakana zoyankha anthu ngati inu chifukwa cholinga chanu mumafuna kungotchukirapo.
Mr president is a good lawyer,don’t you know behaviours of good lawyers,they just talk little bt sensible
Nyasa Times…why do you want to exalt trash? Renowned??? My foot!!! This Mtumbuka is just bitter because his government from whose cashgate coffers he used to benefit was removed and he has no quick cash to fund his personal projects. In fact he is not alone. Ask Enock C, his multi – million hotel project along Kaunda Road facing the new stadium at Area 49 LL has stalled. Reason: he has been abruptly exited from the gov coffers. And he started barking about the now infamous federalism song. It is all abou personal benefits here not for the citizenry. So why should the whole APM comment on that k5 Million? Is he working for NAC? Where were you mute when your PP gov was drawing millions from the same NAC? why di you remain silent when pipo were dying and bodies rotting at KCH while JB kept on trotting globally? By the way, why are you failing to be productive yourself? We want productive contribution to the GDP of this country not barking against the HE daily.
Malawians let’s face it!The issue here is not about Atumbuka,Alomwe or what.Ndalama za aMalawi ovota movutikira zikubedwa apa ndi atsogoleri andale.Atcheya anatibera,Bingu anatibera,Joyce chimodzimodzi(Cashgate).Leronso APM mothandizana ndi BEAM/Mulhakho ndi izinso NACgate.AMalawi kumangosekelera zilizonse zowona?Mwati poti ndi wakwathu timadyera njoka limodzi…kupepera kwache ndiye kwakhwakwanandadi e…
This issue is about bitterness n utumbuka.why didn’t you demonstrate during cashgate?
ALL THOSE COMMENTING ATUMBUKA OUT OF HATRED ARE FOOLISH. – TREAT MTAMBO AS AN INDIVIDUAL AND BONFIDE CITIZEN OF MALAWI ——- REMEMBER NDI MTUMBUKA ANAGAMULA KUTI DDP ILOWE MBOMA. WE ARE FED UP WITH YOUR REGIONALISTIC COMMENTS. BE ASHAMED — MALAWI IS FOR EVERYONE — IF YOU ARE MYOPIC KEEP MUTE.
The Ngerenge man, serious? Ndie atumbuka munatilakwiratu…How can you GAMULA KUTI DPP ILOWE M’BOMA when the whole country fully knew kuti Pitala is an incompetent good for nothing lawyer? Aaaaah koma atumbuka kukamwa kwanu ndithu!
Koma atumbuka amandikwana bwanji, osangowalola anthuwa kuti apange dziko lawo bwanji. Mwini nthuni athufe nkupumako , nanga kumangokhalira kukokanakokana
I THINK NTAMBO IS BEHAVING LIKE HE COMES FROM A BROKEN Family. Mwana opanda mwambo. APM should not be feared but respected as the President of Malawi. But he is giving statements to suggest MWANO CHABE. This is not right. APM is not the head of BEAM nor NAC. If he is not silence he will be seen as using his powers to defend what happened. There is no where it suggested he influenced the deals. Why should he come in? KOMA ANTHU INU MUTINENETSA PA MBALI.
Look at this fool, the so called ED of the YOUTH NGO in Mzuzu, defending JB. THIS IS NONSENSE. THIS ISSUE HAS BECOME POLITICAL AND CULTURAL. The Lhomwes are not stupid. TAKE CARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amwene Josy, mwanena zakukhosi zanu koma zopanda nchere. ATumbuka amene mkuwanenawa tsikuti akupanga izi kuti apindule ndi akwao okha ai koma izi n’zanziko lonse. Kuononga kwa makhobidiku sikwa aTumbuka okha ai. Be patriotic and see where the country is heading to. You may think all is well but we are heading for more destruction soon. It will be a “Free for all” State and nothing for you. Watch out!!
APM is a learned lawyer, very intelligent and very humble! He does not practice politics of confrontation. he is not an empty tin. He is not a mouth piece of NAC not a spokes person of BEAM. He is the State President of republic of Malawi. Therefore his mute does not surprise the nation except the wise men from the North who makes noises even at a sneeze of a baby! If you want to march go ahead and march! Its your freedom but the consequences remains your responsibility.
Hebrews you are very intelligent man the way I read your comment it satisfies my heart that APM is the head of Replublic of Malawi not spokes person of NAC nor BEAM why should APM interfere about NAcgate was APM there at bank to withdrew the money .iwe Timoteo Mtambo or whatever you call yourself your name is go and protest you think normally people can go out and leave there daily duties to match let me grantee you people who loves violence will follow you
A Mtambo anali a classmate anga ku Chanco. Ngati pali munthu amangofuna kuyankha funso lililonse nkalasi ndiye anali amaneyu koma akati ayankhe ndiye mbelela zokhazokha. He is just greedy and good for nothing..ali busy ndi a Kwataine, Dorothy Ngoma, Sembereka Onse amene amadwelera ndi PP. APM alankhule alankhule what? is this worth president’s comment.Tangoyendetsani CHRR akutinso ikukukanika ka NGO ka anthu 12 but you think you know principles of good governance. Hahahaha!!! Tikumana ma pub mulilongwemu. Mukamwa musiye kulalata!!!
kkkkk ena amati APM anaphunzitsa Barrack kkkkkk
Kutiko? Barrack is a great president and you can’t compare ndi babawa who should and must get lessons about leadership from Barrack Obama
U Marvelick…whre r u from?…if u aint a Malawian den u r on a better side..bt f u r a Malawian den sorry u r jx a nuthn…coz dere z nuthn 2 b proud of in Bt, LL or Zomba…yenda n othr so called developn countries..and u’ll see f dere z anythng u shud b proud of n Malawi…so watch ur tongue ‘boy’…
GOVERNMENT IS NOT RUN BY ONE PERSON ,ONE FAMILY, ONE COMMUNITY, ONE TRIBE OR ONE REGION BUT MANY AND OF DIFFERENT REGIONS THAT IS WHY WE SAY IN ONNNESS THERE IS UNITY. YOU CANNOT BUILD A COUNTRY BY A FAMILY. LET’S DESIST FROM BEING GREEDY. IF AN ISSUE HAS CROPPED UP LET’S REASON TOGETHER AND FIND A SOLUTION SO THAT WE LIVE IN HARIMONY AS A COUNTRY. WARM HEART OF AFRICA IS MALAWI OTHER COUNTRIES FEEL LIKE BEING PART OF MALAWI BECAUSE OF HOW WE LIVE AND WELCOME VISITORS.
Big up APM for being silent
lets wait and see come 13/1/15
Are you marching against NAC or APM?
DPP ADVISORS, OTHER MINISTERS AND OTHER DIRECTORS ARE SPOILING AND CHEATING THE PRESIDENT. MR. PRESIDENT BE CAREFUL WITH THEM.
Inu a tumbuka pitani mu street nobody cares…… Mupanga nokha nokha zimenezo!
Kodi ndiye kuti CSO Malawi yonse ndi Timonthy Mtambo basi??? Watikwana mtumbuka ameneyu. Please just mobilise your fellow tumbukas to march or demonstrate in Karonga. What has BEAM or MWA got to do with the president? He has more important issues to deal with than paying attention to your nosense. Wamisala akatha ku mental ku Zomba basi mukufuna president ayankhule kuti zatheka bwanji? This country is not run by CSOs. Mwatinyansa kokwanira.
The government is not run with president only. The COS’s play a vital role.APM must resign before things get very worse and at the moment he can not control the situation.
He failed while he was a minister.What more with a president.
President needs a politician not a professor.This is a vital rank.
Thumbs up Mkwaso mtumuka eneyu watikwana ndipo adzapanga ma demostration ndi atumbuka amzake komanso akapangile kwao zimenezo cha ku Mzimba kuHola osati ku BT or LL
Renowned activist???? Ha ha..renowned lawyer? ???? Renowned musician? Prominent politician!!!! Malawi ameneyo…these other guys r gold diggers benefiting from cashgaters
