Muluzi donates to China medical supplies to help battle coronavirus
United Democratic Front (UDF) president Atupele Muluzi, whose party has entered into political alliance with the governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) of President Peter Mutharika, has donated medical supplies to the Chinese as it battles the coronavirus outbreak with more than 90,000 cases of the virus worldwide and more than 3,100 deaths from it.
Muluzi, who recently spent three months as visiting scholar at Peking University in China, presented the donation on Tuesday when he paid a courtesy call on the Chinese Ambassador Liu Hongyang in Lilongwe.
He said “in a symbolic gesture of solidarity” the UDF leader made a donation of medical supplies towards the global fight against Covid-19, the official name of the disease caused by the new coronavirus given by World Health Organization.
The word coronavirus refers to the group of viruses it belongs to, rather than the latest strain.
Covid-19 name is taken from the words “corona”, “virus” and “disease”; with 2019 representing the year that it emerged (the outbreak was reported to the WHO on 31 December).
Muluzi was accompanied by UDF leader in parliament Lilian Patel and former deputy speaker of parliament Clement Chiwaya, to present the donation to the Chinese
“The spread of the Corona Virus is a global problem, with China the most affected so far and in the African spirit of Ubuntu we come together as one to face our challenges together. The spirit of giving during times of difficulty is a universal value,” said Muluzi, a former Minister of Health.
The Chinese Ambassador appreciated the kind gesture from Muluzi.
“On behalf of our people and the government of China, we are grateful for this and this really defines the slogan of this country-the warm heart of Africa,it is more than words,today we have witnessed it in action,” he said.
If you vote for these crooks you are stupid too
Chalakwikwa ndichiani kuthandiza mzako pamavuto ngakhale nyumba mwako mulibe ufa? zoti China imathandiza Malawi pamene mzika zina za China ndizovutika simundiwa. Koma adakapanga izi Chilima bwezi titamva kuti ndichiani. mtsogoleri was maso mphenya
Kulolezedwa kwa chamba kutionetsa zinthu. ena andalama akasuta mapeto ake ndi izi, akasuta opanda ndalama ndiye misala.
Upange zomwezo mu zipatala zaku malawi. Just check mulanje hospital and nsanje hospital. Very pathetic. No medicine, no gloves.
Very clever, Atu. Our hospitals things are worse. You cannot see. Out of touch. No wonder you joined the thieves.
Ndinu a nzelu
MWK1.7 billion anaba atate ake ija!
Why not mentioning them to say he has donated gloves simple. Malawi imports these medical supplies from China ask any medical supplier, brought tot Malawi and to be taken back to China, really. Do you think these will be sent back to China. Otherwise tell us the truth you have given them our ivory
we have had people living without food in their houses, where were you Atu? ku Madrassa? iwe ndi mwana wabakha ndithu
Bakha koma iweyo
This is a calculative tactic. What’s happening here is Mr Muluzi seeking campaign funding from the Chinese. This is not about good will and don’t make a mistake thinking that Atupele is being stupid. He is literally giving something small whilst eyeing for bigger things to come. (Am not saying it’s good nor am I saying it’s bad ) – but that’s what it is, funding for campaign.
Konza kapansi kuti kamwamba ka tsike.
Village ppl send town ppl chicken and maize for something in return
A reasonable gesture. Shame your political instincts are worse than your Dad’s.
Kutunga ndowa ya madzi kuthila nyanja. Mukati solidality ndiye kuti chiyani ? Osatengela zilizonse kunotu ndiku Malawitu.
Inu ndi achimidzi kwabasi.
Join the discussion…anaona sadabwa anakakhala achita izi ndi
asogoleli anu aja panakakhala palibe vuto kkkkkk koma amalawi
This is symbolic and to say if only Malawi were rich, we would have done more and we are in solidarity with you (China) in the fight against Covid-19. You all may wish to know that the first African country to donate to China was a small Guinea Bissao…….
The goods bought from China shipped in Malawi and given to the chinese to be shipped back to china for distribution. I think Atupele has lost his head and has priorities upside down, What you need to have done was to send asing’anga who are plenty in Machinga to help cure this virus.
Honestly, Malawi is very poor, simply go to any government hospital, there is shortage of everything. Here we have a son of a thief, donating to China in support of dealing with coronavirus. China is a major donor to Malawi, so what is Muluzi doing is insulting Malawian people where he was a minister of Health. Did he personally donate to any poorly resourced clinic in this country? Its fools like these that Malawi should avoid putting in power. PEWANI!!!
This tells me what kind of person is Atupele Muluzi.A Good Hearted Person.He may look stupid in other peoples eyes but God sees the giving souls we don’t know who might benefit from that kind of donation.China is a big economy but what Atupele has shown is his heart for the suffering.The Ambassador has received this with gladness because of the heart.
when is he going to do the same to our completely empty shelves of our public hospital’s phamacies
Uyu ndi baby ndithu woganiza mwa u bakha
Congratulations Mr Muluzi..this other haters always knew how to receive ..but Mau a Mulungu amati even with a little things that u give God will give you more..keep it up
Words from a stupid religious book written by racist middle eastern savages from 2000 years ago
For the first time I have not liked your comment APM Wanya. I believe you were not in your usual senses.
Stupid Man
Imagine, just imagine that old beggar who sits outside the U Save Shoprite shop in Limbe giving me K100,000 to buy food for my family!!!! (I’m a stinking-rich businessman if you may wish to know). Really, Atupele? Hah hah hah!!! Dziko lamera diso….😱☻😻🙉👇
Uku nde KUPUSA, sizinawonekenso. Kodi a Bwanawa ayamba kudya chamba eti?
Baby thinking!!! The proposed running!! What a waste!!!!
Priorities upside down. Malawi hospitals have no medicine
Antchito amzpatala amakhalila kuba mankhwala komanso zipangizo zilizonse zomwe angapezele ndalama Koma zonsezi amapanga mogwilana manja ngati mmene amachiti mma depart ment onse aboma
Sindinawonepo zimenezi kkkkkkk. Tupex, charity begins at home.
Misala sikubwebweta kokha
This is beyond stupidity!! Malawians are suffering because hospitals are functioning at bare bones and you have the nerve to donate medical supplies to China? ?? ….. what kind of madness is this??
I do agree with you Mr Nyusensi..We feel for Chinese people but China is far much equipped than us,they managed to build a 1400 bed hospital in 7 days,,we can keep those medical equipments for ourselves because sooner or later the outbreak will reach our borders
let me just explain pangono muthuyu sanalakwise he is 110%right kuthandiza boma la China for corona virus, coz ndi ngozi yangogwa mwazizizi in fact we all knows that China have big economy in the world but the can not fight alone it is thagh time for them. for example kuno ku malawi wina akafeledwa olemela or osawuka sitimasokha Ufa wakumaliloo? it is the same Chinese government is on big pressure the can’t do it alone another example when malawi was hit by storm tanzania Zambia Rwanda and other nations helped us with medicine and so all, this does not mean that those nations does not have problems, ndingongole imeneyo Chinese government will give more than this to malawi government when we have unexpected problems like this. hope you understand very well,
So is the donation on behalf of Malawi government or on his own behalf?
Inuso nzeru MULIBE, osamaganiza ngati bakha
HON. Muluzi sanalakwise ayi 100%
Ife tiye tiyamikile pamene wachitabwino komaso tiyeni timuuze pamene walakwisa.
Funso kodi HON. Muluzi sanathandizepo muno Malawi zipatala zathu?
Nanga inuyo NDI ine tinatengapo gawo posamamalila zipatala
you are wise
Kamba anga mwala
Has Malawi reached a stage of donating to rich countries?
As a sign of solidarity not donation as you understand. And helping does not require rich helping poor only.
Can you explain that to us “Mr Civilized Citizen” coz I don’t get it . And also can you go to our hospitals and justify this stupidity to suffering Malawians!
why is this stupid idiot allowed to do such a thing? There is no medicine in our hospitals and then he does this! Really? Kuteleko a Malawi mubvotera izi?
The more you open your hands to others, is the more you can receive blessings from God.. It does not mean kuti alibe nde asapereke kwa olemela pathawi zawavuta..
Equipment was made in China
I agree with you this uneducated people the dont know
Atupele has done the right thing. Pamavuto palibe kuti uyu wolemera osamuthadiza.
How do you expect something from other people while you do not know how to give
With this type of thinking am fully convinced as to why many people are suffering while their relatives are giving bread and nice meat to dogs
Amalawi ambiri tilibe mtima opereka koma timafuna tizingolandira. China yagweredwa chiphinjo choncho kuthandizapo sikulakwa ayi. Kodi khomo lochita bwino kukagwa zovuta anthu samasonkha pang’ono pang’ono kukawathandiza?
