- Maloya: Mulhakho mourns patron Mutharika
Mutharika, who was patron of Mulhako, died at Kamuzu Central hospital on April 5, 2012 of Cardiac arrest.
The group expressed deep shock and sadness on the untimely death of its Founder and Patron.
Mulhako said Mutharika’s death is a great loss to the Lhomwes and Malawi.
“However, we are pleased to note the sentiments by President Banda that the late Professor Mutharika be mourned with dignity. This proves we have a caring leader,” he said.
Maloya said the Mulhako is also extending its condolences to the First Lady Callista Mutharika, Peter Mutharika, the children and the entire bereaved family at this very difficult time.
“Our condolences also go to the President Banda and the entire government,” he said.
President Banda used her first official day in office to purge members of her predecessor’s government, including the information minister Patricia Kaliati who is suspected of being in a high-powered group trying to block her ascension to office.
Most of the casualties are members of Mulhako wa Alhomwe.
