Mtambo hits back at MP Lunji’s remarks: ‘Its DPP gradual healing from electoral defeat’
Minister of Civic Education and National Unity Timothy Mtambo has hit back at Nkhotakota North East legislator Martha Lunji’s remarks demanding his dismissal, calling them ‘divisive and spoken from a position of understandable frustration’.
Lunji—who is Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) deputy chief whip in parliament —called on President Lazarus Chakwera to fire 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) was involved in demonstrations that saw people’s businesses, houses and other structures being destroyed.
But in an interview with Nyasa Times, Mtambo said, as a person who led the struggle to remove DPP from power, he understands the frustration of politicians such as Lunji and he prays for their instant healing.
“Malawians, from Nsanje to Chitipa, were tired with how nepotistic, corrupt and divisive the DPP was. I led the struggle that united the voice of Malawians in removing them from power.
“The evidence of such a united voice was confirmed on 23rd June when Malawians gave a resounding victory to Tonse Alliance led by President Lazarus Chakwera and Vice President Saulos Chilima,” Mtambo said.
He added that such a resounding victory was a vindication that the struggle he led had the support of Malawians.
However, Mtambo was quick to underscore that, though he understands people such as Lunji to be in pains, he wants to invite her and all Malawians to a table to work together for the good of uniting the nation.
“The same energy I used to unite Malawians in removing DPP from power; is the same energy I want to use now in unifying this country so that we prosper together,” he said.
Mtambo, who is Commander-In-Chief of of a political grouping Citizens for Transformation Movement, underlined that God blessed him with the gift of being able to speak to people and people listen.
Further, he added that there can never be a better experienced person that Malawi needs now to be unified than in a man of his stature who led the struggle for change, a human rights defender and a person who has done up to post graduate level in peace making and keeping, conflict resolution and management, restorative and transition justice.
“I have the education and the passion to unify our country. This is why throughout the struggle my slogan was always people power, one Malawi one nation,” he said.
Meanwhile, peader of the opposition in parliament, Kondwani Nankhumwa has commended government for showing interest in promoting unity in the country through establishment of Ministry of Civic Education and National Unity which is headed by Mtambo.
He asked President Chakwera to continue implementing initiatives aimed at promoting peace and unity in the country.
“However there is a lot which needs to be done and this include formation of clear policy that would help to visibly address issues of unity in the country by clearing the rubble of regionalism and tribalism,” he said.
The leader of the opposition also advised political leaders from both government and opposition side to take matters of national unity seriously, if the country has to develop for the better.

Some times you have to break to fix a problem so mtambo did it you can cry the way you want no problem at he is still there as minister
Ntambo doesn’t deserve a ministerial position let alone that of unity and civic education. His character is that of a barbarian, vandal, a terrorist. Unless if the president created a ministry of terrorism
Kwa anamalira nonse tikuti, pepani, pepani, pepani. Kwakukulukulu Chauta wodziwa kutonthoza, akutonthozeni. Ndi mawu ochepawa, ndikusiya mwambowu m’manja mwa a mpingo kuti apitirize. Zikomo.
He has been quiet for along time he must wake up
Indeed Mtambo must be fired
He has corrupted malawiian citizens
We were expecting him now to do some demo over the lies of Tonse government.
Mk14,000 passport is no where
Water and electricity free connection is no where.
Mtambo lied to the nation that he is doing demo to save the nation.
But now he is dancing with the devil at dinner table.
If you still believe that you led Malawians to ouster Dpp from government……I think your medula oblangata is not functioning properly .The truth is that you led Malawians to destroy there country without the real cause .Today the DC office in Karonga is in ruins ,the fisheries office in Karonga is only ashes the list is endless.Are you happy to see these ashes and you jump as your achievement …something must be wrong indeed in your tiny brain.Even the president i dont understand him ,why he gave you that position .You dont give a responsibility like yours to a Mafia like you .This is the reason why MCP gurus are hunting you day in day out .If you feel that you are a fighter ,we will see how you will win this battle that have started .Because of your actions ,this is the reason you are moving with many security than any other minister in Tonse government .For your own information stop mentioning Dpp in your utterances ….if you are intelligent enough use your ministry and unite Kaliati and Harry which are terrorising Tonse alliance unity at the moment.Bravo Martha Lunji for telling this useless guy the truth .
IWE NDIWE GALU CADET WACHABECHABE
Kicking out DPP/APM was not cheap bwana.
Che Bauleni you are right. This Mtambo idiot is full of self praising as if he did something worthy patting him on the back. He has forgotten that many people lost property and life in some cases due to his reckless thinking. Now things are backfiring. Belive me, this will be the first casualty to be fired by the Chakwera administration because he is really doing nothing. Kuzimva umulungu sort of. Stupid Commander in-Chief.
The president should just remove him from the undeserving position.
Bravo Lunji
Mtambo has no morals. He left Malawi in ruins and there is no way such a moron can unite us. The glass house which mtambo stoned in Mchesi is still in ruins, and the traffic lights which mtambo smashed in Lilongwe are still not yet fixed. Offices which mtambo set on fire such as government offices in karonga and many police station across the country are still in smoke state. And you go and make such a terrorist become a Minister? No no no, mtambo’s appointment to ministerial position is a clear demonstration of the level of impunity, arrogance and insensitivity of Chakwera on affairs of Malawians.
Ngati pali chitsiru cha munthu ndiye Chakwera amene anachita appoint chidzete chotchedwa Mtambo kukhala Minister. Lazaroyo ndiye wouma mutu. Lunji akunena zoona osati akunenera kuipidwa kuti DPP inaluza chisankho. Mtambo kwao sikuno ku Malawi. Iyeyu ndi wothawa nkhondo from Burundi and settled in Chitipa. Look now lero Lazaro ali mboma and a lot of buildings were destroyed by this Mtambo and his HRDC party. You will need cash to rebuild offices in Karonga , Lilongwe, Mchinji, Blantyre and many more places. Ulibe manyazi Mtambo ukamaona these dilapidated buildings that were destriyed by you and now you are in Government today??? Munkayesa mukuphunza DPP today its you who have to repair them???? If Chakwera indeed ndi wa nzeru whihc i doubt, let him fire Mtambo after 5 months. Let Mtambo fall!!!! He does not deserve to be a minister for Unity. He is a warrior for destruction. Abwelere ku HRDC. Nayo Saulosi ndithu kulolela zimenez za utsiruzi?? Pena titha kumvetsa chifukwa Saulosi adakalibe pa Keliyala kotero sangayimbe beru. Mtambo woipa nkhope ngati pakamwa pa toilet must be fired . Chakwera please take heed and take instant action by removing him from that postion and dont deploy him anywhere to eat our hard earned tax moeny
IWENSO
Atokwene ndiwe galu wa a galu
Musiye iwe Atokwene uku ndi kulira kwa Cadet. Umphawi wamupweteka chifukwa chandalama zakuba za DPP zamusowa. Umuona pompano akufa ndi njala. Kuchira adzachira koma mochedwa.
Mtambo zakupwetekani kkkkk. Even spending time answering. musova.
Mtambo must Fall..why should tax money be spent on a ministry that has no significance at all.
Well look at his face as if he is pushing a hard stool in the toilet. I hate this man . He terrorised Malawians more especially he celebrated when Imedi was killed . Whether DPP lost and is frustrated in non of his business but Malawians are worried how Chakwera in his wisdom could appoint a certified terrorist and gay activist to champion unity. I hate you Ntambo.
Whilst you may think that he celebrated the death of Imedi, take note that he was the first to condemn that death. No one from the opposition followed suit even Chakwera or Chilima till today have never publicly condemned that death. I just wanted to us to be fair on this one.
Those were crocdile tears. He has never shown any signs of remourse. Mtambo is disgusting and foolish.
It was not sincerely condemnation
Mtambo deserve to be charged
We must take mtambo to international criminal court
Coz he was hired by MCP.
And i love Mtambo so much just as God loves him
REALLY
Useless response, Mtambo you are devilish. You are happy that you caused some people loss their lives and property? Let me educate you, it very easy to destroy than to build. What you did was destroying that is why many people followed you especially MCP, UTM supporters and thugs. If you claim to be educated and manage to mobilize malawians for a change, why are you now failing to mobilize the same malawians for unity and peace as a minister now? It can be even better to start with those who were sponsoring you MCP, UTM PP parties. There is no peace between these parties. Are you not aware about what what is happening between these parties? Is that peace? Yet you are in the same government you are serving.How can you be a peace maker when you yourself do not have peace? Why do you have a lot of security, official and private wherever you go? I would like to advise you to find your own peace and unity first before going out to malawians. Chakwela is already a failure by choosing you as a minister for the ministry, may be he is trying to give you a rope to hang yourself!!! No body can trust you even the people who used you, they also know that you are a devil. You can see now the social distance between you and them after achieving what they wanted. How can you achieve peace when you are always on wanted,
I would rather have Mtambo as a minister than Mchacha
Mchacha is good on
(1) insulting women and girls
(2) Marrying underage girl
(3) Stealing Land from Malawians
(4) Stealing taxes from Malawians
(5) Having no Education back ground
(6) tribalistic man .
So why didn’t Lunji ask Muntharika to fire Mchacha in the first place ???
Fuck off munthu uyu akutebera tikuona.Its just the same as having cadets on the payroll
Mtambo you can not unite the country period. You are a killer, destroyer of innocent people’s businesses, freaking pompous, and big headed lunatic. No one in opposition will take you seriously. No Lhomwes will listen to ur big mouth. You planning to invite some folks to the table (for discussions) simply coz u r enjoying ministerial benefits. Back then, U couldn’t listen to no one, now u want Us to listen to U? Heck No. Forget It.
Foseki
Bingu Bingiza was more violent and utterly useless. You remember 20 people were shot dead during Bingu Bingiza and you kept quiet.
Mtambo lost a lot of property through bombing by DPP mercenaries while the one commenting here lost nothing. Do not say Malawians will not follow Mtambo. Always there will be a section of the society that will not align itself to what the majority would want to achieve.
Wawa tilibe nawe ntchito after all Lhomwes si munthu woti timudandaule ndi support yanu. Koma osadanda muchira posachedwapa
No Timothy, you are violent and divisive figure who presided over the breaking of window shops and looting. You are sadistic and not the right face to unify the country. Soon the pressure will mount for you to pave way and chakwera will correct this one mistake of appointing you. Your pride makes you unfit as well.
Hon chakwera should have picked someone like Justin malewezi perhaps or some other retired church clerk or politician.
Anyway, I support the MP. She is 100% correct. Your ministry is useless.
Za chamba!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A Mtambo kudziva kukoma. The ministry has potential but the character assign, I doubt. Mipando ngati imeneyo imafunika anthu ngati reverend Semphere, rosati munthu wa nzeru ngati ameneyo.
Timothy mtambo assiholl kapena ndi nene momveka bwino kuti pathakopako. Ine ndilibe nawe nunkhira machende ako ndipo umandinyasa kwambiiiiiri ndipo ndikanakhala ndimfuti ndikanayamba ku papha iweyo pakunyapako galu.
Most of the comments here are useless,usually people who do something to bring peace are not loved,Mtambo fought for the freedom for everyone including you who is posting useless comments against Mtambo.Dpp messed up this country big time and Mtambo had sleepless night fighting for you dandruff punks who cant understand things more especailly political maturity,you hungry hand clappers open your stagnant brains and think positive.We are now all free because of Mtambos sacrifice.Zikuwaweni,zikawawa kwambili mukakolope nyanja mxiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii akeeeeeeeeeeeh,
I understand your pain Chifwilimbwiti. Unadya zambiri za DPP pano umphawi wakupweteka. Pepa, pepa, pepa. Koma uchira ngakhale muli mochedwa. Koma dziwa ichi: DPP uyiwale siidzabwereranso m’Boma. DPP yatha basi. This is a dream come true for almost ALL Malawians.
