Mutharika blasts Chakwera: ‘MCP is a very brutal party’

March 6, 2019 Patricia Mtungila-MEC 73 Comments

President Peter Mutharika has blasted   opposition Malawi Congress Party (MCP) president  Lazarus Chakwera for  using the plight of people with albinism for political mileage.

Mutharika:  Hits back at Chakwera

Speaking  at a whistle-stop tour  at Shoprite Roundabout  in Mzuzu on Tuesday, on return from Mzimba District where he commissioned a multi-billion dollar water Project, Mutharika said his administration has already started putting in place measures to protect people with albinism.

“Let us stop violence against people with albinism. We have already adopted a tracking device to protect thousands of people with albinism in the country.

“And we have a programme to put 43 albino youth into boarding school, to protect them. We are also including people with albinism in the Malata and Cement Subsidy  programme,”Mutharika said.

Mutharika, however,  criticized Chakwera who faulted the President for “sleeping on the job and being a coward” that the MCP leader is seeking cheap political popularity using   attacks on people with albinism.

He challenged Chakwera to  share his solutions with government than wait for three more  months until May, before providing solutions that could save lives of Malawians with albinism.

“There are some people who are politicizing the issue of people with albinism. Some people are saying that they have a solution for this issue , if  he [Dr Chakwera] has  a solution,  why not tell us now than wait for three months until May?

“ Alibe mfundo  [They are clueless].  You must stop this nonsense,” Mutharika said.

The President, also,  labeled  members of the opposition  as “clueless” on the development of Malawi for failing to respond to his calls to collaborate with the government in providing solution to Malawi’s development woes when he extended an olive branch after taking office in 2014.

In his re-election plea, Mutharika  also  labelled MCP as a brutal party that will kill  many people if voted back into power.

“MCP is a very brutal Pparty. If you vote for them on May 21, you will be choosing to go backwards.  On May 21 you can either choose light or darkness. MCP is clueless and if you vote for them, you are choosing darkness.  All  we are asking for is five more years so that we can continue these development projects that we are already
doing,” Mutharika said.

Before  President  Mutharika took the stage, Transport Minister Jappie Mhango promised Mutharika  massive votes  and a landslide win in the Northern Region in the May 21  Tripartite Elections.

“ Mr President, you will get all the votes here in the North. Others tried to hold a rally  here but they have failed because there were only a few people,  ”  Mhango said.

The meeting was also attended by DPP leaders including Presidential Advisor on Youth Affairs Simon Vuwa Kaunda, Minister of Sports Grace Chiumia and, Chiefs including; Traditional Authority  Kabunduli of Nkhata Bay, the representative of Chief Chikulamayembe of the Tumbuka and throngs of DPP supporters.

At the whistle-stop, the representative of the Tumbuka  Chief Paramount Chief Chikulamayembe,  praised Mutharika for  equitable distribution of development projects in the country and not sidelining the North.

President Mutharika who also announced that his government is scheduled to commence construction of  administration  houses for the Mombera University  in Mzimba District,  said that he will stay in the Northern Region until Saturday 9th March where he plans to commission several development projects including; the Karonga Water Supply Project and NkhataBay Water Project.

  2. Mr Maliseche was shocked to observe that dpp has been rejected in the north and that research indicates that MCP is leading in the north.Out of anger and paranoia he decided to personally attack Chakwera who was not there when Dausi and Henry Mussa the former MCP youth league chairman were brutalising pple.This song has bn overplayed and won’t win u votes coz what is fresh in the mind of pple is the killing of albinos, Njauju murder, Chasowa assassination and the July 20 massacre of the northerners by the dpp regime.

    1. And Buleya. He deliberately created a security system of past killers Jose, Dausi and Mchacha. Even the committee which was formed to discuss issues of people with albinism, the head is Ntaba past MCPdirty man.

  3. MCP will always be MCP nkhanga siyisintha manga….,,,,nkhanza, kupha, kusowrtsa anthu ? Ku manga anthu osalakwa and make therir families and the generation to follow very miserable 😫👍

  5. mumuhuze peter mutharika asiye kulota landslide inali yomweija ya 2014 pano antu anamuziwa kuti ndiwokuba

  6. I thinx madala ndiwopenga landslide azivotela yeka nkalambayi , pali chani mpaka azikalota landslide aonaso mu may of the government tatopa ndi mbava izi

  7. Awanso awa tawauzani akhale chete. What is he talking about when he and his DPP are behind the killing of people with albinism.

    1. Histories are histories people change world has changed since the one party state now its democracy
      Isnt Mutharika and the midnight 12 sennt a dead corpse to SA

  9. Are the cadets under mchacha who are terrorizing and maiming innocent people MCP members? . The 17 people who were massacred in July 2011 were they killed by MCP ?. Was chasowa killed by MCP ?. Was Issa njaunju killed by MCP ? . Are people with albinism being killed by MCP ? Come on old man. When you live in glass house don’t throw stones because people may retaliate ndiye paja simuchedw kulira threatening land tones of bricks on them. Mzimu ya abale Athu albino will haunt you. Mwapha ochuluka

  10. Paja Bwanawa amati ndale zonyozana ayi ndiye ife tikudabwa nazo bwanji akunyoza MCP and its LEADER? Okey tidzaonana pa 21 May 2019.

    1. Alamu ake okhala pafupi anadziwa kuti eter Maliseche Muthalika m’mutu mwadzadza chuku ndiye chifukwa chake mowamvera chisoni ankawauza kuti apume. Koma akukankhidwa ndi mbava zachulukitda ku DPP.

  15. Chokani inu mwapha Lule Buleya atakutchulani kuti mukupanga business ya ma Lubino inu mapazi ako Peter

  18. MCP/MYP, DPP/CADETS/ANA a DAD are all thugs, musalodzane chala, you are all brutal, uncouthed morons!

  19. True! MCP and MYP their paramilitary wing are synonymous with unspeakable tourture, horror, terrorisim and intimidation we all lived like prisoners in our own country

  20. For once , I will agree with Mr Maliseche, we should never forget the atrocities committed by MCP lead government. We should NEVER allow MCP to ever rule again

  22. Tell them like it is.
    Sensible MCPers should feel despondent when reminded of their atrocious behavior, the well documented extra judicious killings, forcing people to buy MCP cards or else “you are out” in exile, filling Mikuyu and Dzaleka Detention Prisons with those critical of their political father – DICTATOR KAMUZU, extensive abuse of our human rights …
    And oChakwera has not done anything to assuage the feelings many Malawians have of MCP, as a Party. Some call it, fairly or not, Malawi’s “Nazi” Party.
    Can’t win the Presidency with that kind of rep.

  24. Challenged Chakwera to share his solutions…

    I thought he proposed installation of alarm systems and you have implemented, what solutions are you talking about?

  25. You mean even APM cannot differentiate between the pre1993 MCP and the rebranded one of today? Sometimes it’s better to keep quiet than spew incorrigible utterances.

  26. Spot-on His Excellency. This fake accent graduate of unaccredited American Bible School is heartless. People with albinism got thoroughly soaked in rainy Lilongwe this afternoon because of misguided and careless statements by this de-floaked reverend and his stupid henchman Mutambo. Very sad.

  28. I can not see the name of Chakwera being mentioned by Peter hence the theme differs with the context. If something is in blacket it means, it has been added not original. Poti masukulu a kumalawi a journalism amangopakidwa maphunziro

  29. Thats him being delusional again. He keeps on saying MCP was brutal bal blah. Thats his message. This guy must go assoon as possible to liberate Malawi from all the troubles and tribulations.

  31. APM must thank Chakwera for sharing with him what to do. muzingothokoza mbuyache… aaah !
    Chakwera is the next president … kaya mufuna kaya simufuna … ! ndizimenezo.. mwalephera basi !

    NDANI kumpotoko sadziwa kuti inu ndi DPP mumadana nawo ?

  32. Only mad people can believe that 1. MCP will kill people. 2. Mutharika will get a landslide in the North. Kumanamako bwino abale

  34. MCP amene anali mwana ndi amene akuyipanga sapoti pano kapena zokhoma za MCP sizinamugwerepo, koma ine aaaah ayi ndithu.

  35. If there is a brutal party in Malawi’s history, it is DPP. Shame on you Peter Mutharika. You killed people with your late brother during demonstrations, you killed Chasowa and Njaunju, and now you are killing albinoes. You think you can fool northerners? You are the worst president in Malawi’s history. You will lose come May 21st and you will dance to the music, you clueless president. A whole president commissioning water supplies? Your friends in Rwanda and Uganda are commissioning the production of cars and smartphones, that’s what we call progress.

  36. Kuthawa vigil madala kapumeni 21May 2019 Chakwera takes over. Chakwera provided on press conference the very same which your so called information minister criticized. Chakwera mention that pin those suspects who were arrested in connection with abductions and killings of albinos. He mentioned that you Muthalika did not fund National Action Plan. He told you to provide alarm system to all albinos to press it during emergency Dausi said he does not know it useless people.

  37. When was the first Albino killed since DPP came to power?

    And the President is saying WE HAVE STARTED PUTTING ‘ NOT WE PUT IMPLEMENTED AND HAS WORKED.

    MCP Is a Transformed and has solutions for this Country.

    DPP is brutal. Just look at how DPP brutally killed Chasowa, Njaunju and many. Now they are killing Albinos and those holding information. Look at how Mr Lule died just weeks ago and the President decides to be mute on that.

    Look how DPP CADETS and Ana a dad are killing Democracy and physically killing Malawi and undressing women.

    Look at how Malawi has been looted leading to death of innocent people because DPP cannot control their sticky hands.

    DPP is worse. Deserves to be wiped and all behind this Nasty party deserve to be jailed for life.

  38. vyako ivo ise tawene mpoto chaka chino tivotere chakwera,wana wakumalizga sukulu mbwe ntchito haaa,

  40. He is confused ,why not solve all these issues we are facing as malawians.Why running away from APAM?.He is old and dont have an agenda to sell malawians.Ruthless murderers that dented MCP is with you Adad onamiziridwa ana aweni.Check Dausi,Mtengowaminga ,you cant win masses ndi mfundo yakoyi yabodzayi.Nyengo yamala,get out of statehouse after 21st May,2019.

  41. What solutions is he looking for ? If Chakwera did not mentioned the lack of funding of National action plan, if he did not mention the rapid alarm response gadgets, the safer housing ….bwenzi DPP led by APM ikugonabe pano. Anyway waht should we expect from the masterminder of albino killings.
    Albonos are Malawians hence must be condemed by every politicians. APM is so naive to realise that
    Mwayiwala its Dpp that has just murdered Buleya and all albinos, the 18 mascre, chasowa, the list endless – APM are you not brutal yourself –infact you have drawn us back to the dark ages and even beyond. Shameless president

  44. Kaya amwene bola kuvotera BRUTAL party yomweyo than afiti opha ma albino nu iyaaaaaaa

  45. I totally disagree with those are saying that there is an equal distribution of projects, north has good roads it’s a nightmare to travel in rural areas. Northerners stop being fooled by the DPP govt. Our many brothers and sisters are being denied to pursue dreams in institutions becoz of quota systems. Usamangowombera m’manja zilizonse.

  46. Who”smuggled” the dead body of his brother to South Africa in the name of Daniel Phiri so that he can become the president.

  48. Tell us who killed Chasowa, Njaunju and massacred 20 people in 20 July, 2011

  51. What? Another 5 years? No no no Sir. Lets see what these other people can do. Please just go.

  52. Munthu uyu ni mutchona nadi. Did he ask Ntaba what had happened to Orton Chin’goli Chirwa at Zomba maximum prisons? Did he ask Dausii what he knows about the deaths of the people during the decades Dausi was right right at the dentre of old MCP? Did he ask Dausi about the deaths of Chasowa and Njaunju during the the time Dausi was heading NIB? Did he find out whether MCP is still keeping people who served the old MCP along with Ntaba and Dausi?

  53. What solutions are u looking for Mr President remember
    1. He told u not to sleep on the job and use ur powers to protect our brothers & sisters.
    2. To release 3 billion approved by parliament of which u have just done after being reminded.
    3. U have promised to buy gadgets for our brothers & sisters , this was also a solution of Dr Chakwera.
    What more are u looking for, mukanakhala munthu wa nzeru mukathokoza Chakwera for these solutions since u have taken the same.
    Come back people are on their way to ur house they want to see u Sir why running away.
    Also Dausi wants ur answers about the gadgets akuti sakuzidziwa.

  56. Jappie ndi Vuwa Kaunda akungomunamiza mzawo mpoto wake uti ovotera muthu wakumpha athu a alubino ngati nkhuku ngati a Pitala akunena zoona bwanji sakumanga apolice omwe anamupha Buleya two weeks ago, bwanji the whole president wangoti chete pa nkhani ya Buleya anamupha ndani, ndipo ndichifukwa chani anamupha ndi magesi, where did Buleya find the electrical thing kuti aziontche yekha, CHIPANI CHA DPP NDI MCP NDE BOLA MCP DPP CHIKUPHA NDI ANA OMWE MULIBE CHISONI NDI MANYAZI A PRESIDENT KUIMA PA SANJA KUMAKAKAMBA ZA MAALUBINO PAMENE ATHU AMENE ALI NDI UMBONI WOSE MKUWAPHA NDI MAGESI KU POLICE, KOMA PRESIDENT UYU NDE MBUZI YENIYENI.

  57. Nyasatimes, where is the part of the crowd to whom he was addressing? Was he talking to himself or that tree in the picture background? You always show part of crowd when it is UTM or MCP rally but here you have chosen to hide that, why? Wasn’t it to your liking may be? Shame on you Nyasatimes. Why not imitate Zodiak that is fairly impartial and levels the play field? Shame, shame, shame. You may choose to hide that but facts on the ground remain the same and is not changing. Chances are high kuti madalawa akugwetsani nonse pamodzi. Dzitsiru dza ma reporter inu.

  58. ‘MCP is a very brutal party’. Ha! ha! ha! So the pot is calling the kettle black! APM has forgotten all about 21 July 2011 and the attacks by DPP cadets on opposition supporters. Old man with a short memory.

  59. Mr ‘president’ Chakwera’s statement was straight forward! All he said was that if he was the president he would have acted swiftly by directing the immediate release of K3 billion for the implementation of all activities outlined in the NPA immediately it was passed by parliament in June 2018. Chakwera said he will never do as you do………..

    meaning khalidwe lanu lokonda kudikililali tangoganizani kuchokela June 2018 pomwe NPA inakhazikitsidwa ndi kupatsidwa ndalama mpaka kulekelela ma albino kuphedwa kufikila Feb 2019, zooooooooooooooooona mumadikila chani a bwanaaaaaaaaaaa? Kodi tikanena kuti zomwe mumafuna kutenga ku ma alubino pano ndiye kuti zakukwanani ndi chifukwa tsopano mwayamba kuonetsa mphamvu kodi tilakwitsaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?

    After all kodi pakati pa Chakwera ndi inuyo who has authority over the Malawi police and the army? Has Chakwera have any authority over their operations? Moti inu simukuona kuti ndi inu amene omwe mukulowetsa ndale uthenga wa straight forward wa iChakwera…………..! Chakwera tu amkanena kuti, a Malawi akadzamupatsa mphamvu ngati zimene anapatsa inu mu 2014 mu May 2019 muno adzachita zimene inu mukukanika kuchita basituuuuuuuuu meaning he will direct the police and the army to deal with any perpetrators and fully implement the NPA nanga pali ndale pamenepa. Are you happy to see the albinos suffer and be killed? awanso a president a malawi awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Kodi mumaona ngati a Malawi ndi opusaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ndipo samaganiza eti?

  62. We thank the State President for taking advice from MCP leadership not to sleep on the job. He is now implementing the ideas that the Opposition gave him, He is slowly becoming a listening President at last. It seems the President listens more from opposition than the citizens. The fact that he is commenting on what the Opposition says shows he gives attention to the corrective advice he gets

  63. it may have been in the past during one party regime but to my knowledge it has never been in the new dispensation. so which is a lesser devil? a party which was brutal under one party era or one that has been under multiparty democracy? i wonder

  66. Just humble yourself and ask Chakwera for an alliance basi. I didnt know that old people amakhalaso ndi jelasitu.

  67. Mr. President, with all due respect. Don’t you really think we know what a brutal party is?
    Think about it for a minute.

  68. At least you have adopted Chakweras solutions. It matters not whether you recognize them as his or not.
