Mtambo ready to serve Tonse govt as Minister of National Unity
Commander-in-chief of the Citizen Transformation Movement Timothy Mtambo has said he is happy and ready to serve in the Tonse Alliance government as Cabinet minister.
Mtambo has been appointed Minister for Civic Education and National Unity in a Cabinet announced by President Lazarus Chakwera.
However, on Thursday fake news was spreading that Mtambo, who formerly led Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) has turned down the offer.
Speaking to Nyasa Times, Mtambo said he is looking forward to serve Malawians in his new role and that he is “glad” for his appointment.
“For the sake of nation good, I am accepting this role. This role will give a better platform to continue the struggle that I have fought for many years, issues of human rights, freedom and national unity are very important for Malawi at this time,” Mtambo told Nyasa Times.
“I will deliver as required. It is time to build people-centred power. I will do as required in the interest of the people.”
Mtambo strongly believes Tonse government will be a listening government.
“We have talked about servant leadership and this is what we will deliver. I would like to thank President Chakwera for putting faith in me and including me in his cabinet. This position is not mine only, it is for all Malawians and I am ready to serve,” added Mtambo.
In a statement issued prior to the appointments, President Chakwera said he and vice-president Chilima had a tough time to come up with the Cabinet as there were many capable individuals who could not all be taken on board.
Timothy get ready for the demonstration now its Malawian turn now to destroy as you did few months ago there is no way such idiot can be our leader.
Its all about greed and personal enrichment. You expect us to listen to u now coz u r in a position of power? No freaking way! The fact remains the same-You are a murderer , destroyer of poor people’s businesses. Nothing changes. Timothy, Man up and apologize for what u put Us through. Otherwise, we wont take u seriously. U are a big hater. Infact, I have never seen a smile on ur face b4. This is the first pic of u smiling coz of a cabinet post.
Mr Mtambo, your acceptance of this appointment is clue that you had selfish gains attached to the struggle you had. I think you would have been a hero if you remained at CFT as the head. Anyway, we all want money.

What exactly are you supposed to be doing Mr Mtambo
mtambo remains one of the principal architects of disunity. its an insult to have him in government. The vote pattern shows the regionalism that you have built and the cabinet appointment confirmed that Malawi is officially adopting regionalism and cronyism as a policy. From lomwe to chewa with love
This is all he wanted, his goal has been achieved now, well done to Malawians who were there demonstrating on the road instead of working, you have just helped him to clear his way.
Go ahead comrade and all the best.
