Mutharika brands Malawi CSOs as ‘criminal society organisations’: DPP manifesto promises special courts for corruption cases
President Peter Mutharika did not spate the civil society organisations (CSOs) his subtle attacks when he launched the 2019 elections manifesto at Kamuzu Institute for Sports in Lilongwe.
Mutharika, who is presidential candidate for the governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) in the May 21 2019 Tripartite Elections, branded the CSOs as “criminal society organisations.”
He said the CSOs have been up against his administration but failed to topple him, saying DPP remains “unshakable, unbreakable, and unstoppable.”
Mutharika said Malawians should vote for DPP because of its track record.
“We are the government that has done more development in five years than any other government in the history of this country,” he said.
President Mutharika said the DPP] are not coming to experiment with the lives of Malawians.
“We have been tried and tested,” he said.
“In 2014, we found a broken economy, but we have fixed it. The Malawi of today is better than the Malawi of 2014… I want to assure Malawians that we will do more this time than we did in the past five years.”
Mutharika continued: “We are now ready. The battle has started. This year’s campaign is more important than those of the past years. We are going to choose whether we want development or politics. To choose between those promising and those already doing it.”
In the 2019 DPP manifesto, the party promises to put in place stiffer and custodial sentences for convicts of corruption and economic crimes, including a minimum of 15 years jail.
The manifesto adds that special courts will be introduced to speed up handling of corruption cases.
Minister of Civic Education and Culture, Everton Chimulirenji, expressed appreciation for being selected Mutharika’s running-mate so that after May 21 if elected, he would be the country’s second-in-command.
“I am happy that people have supported me. I have been holding a number of rallies. Malawians support you, Your Excellency. You are definitely winning the elections,” Chimulirenji said.
DPP secretary general Grezelder Jeffrey went guns blazing with foul mouthing Malawi Congress Party president Lazarus Chakwera and his alliance partner, the country’s former president Joyce Banda of People’s Party.
She did not spare in the verbal combat the country’s estranged Vice-President Saulos Chilima, who is challenging his boss in the presidential race on the ticket of UTM Party.
The DPP was formed in 2005 when the late President Professor Bingu Wa Mutharika ditched the United Democratic Front (UDF) for the DPP. Ironically the late Mutharika announced of his resigning from the UDF at the Kamuzu Institute for Sports where the incumbent president has launched his party’s manifesto and campaign period.

fucken stupit leader and all your fool followers tell us what have you done? shame on you. hand it over to others otherwise you will loose something. remember yesterday
Its the opposite bwana APM, in fact the writing is on the wall that DPP is the dangerous criminal most wanted by all Malawians on 21st May 2019 to be judged sadly u the most learned Prof dont see it. Indeed very very sad.
Indeed they are Criminal Society Organisations. Especially PAC, YAS, etc etc.
CSO can’t be any more criminal than DPP if one considers trillions looted under its watch according to Chakwera who appears to have credible information, no doubt provided by insiders. So, bwana APM, be careful with your utterances.
People in glass houses should not throw stones.
You mean, there were some people who understood what this gogo was saying that day!? I tried to pay attention but antaaaa osamva kanthu!!! kkkkkk
k145 million
Tested, tried and (tired indeed)
And in life “that what doesn’t work will never work,” and keep doing it over and over again is waste of time and insane.
Ma rubbish
Mr President with sue respect how can you say this when your party has presided over some ery alarming corrptuon crimes in our country with some of your senior party cadres being the leaders of a very nasty cartel.
No Mr President if you are disgusted by this you should have been thanking the CSOs because soem corrption were being hindered by them and not by your strategy to root it out
kkkk choncho Nkhunda zikalole kuuluka ….Munakatotenga Anachikwangwala.Azimayi anatoyesesa kuziponya koma haa .
Someone all dressed in blue is counting his chickens before they hatch.
Create the Special court. Ukayambe ndi iweyo kulowamodi with the 145 Metre Pioneer knicking. Agogo okuba kkkkkk. Chilima woyeeee!
Ma secretary general ena, akanakala ngati chipani, NDIYE anthu ambiri alowamo ndikutulukamo.
Rubbish of a woman !
I love DPP
Boma ilo kupitiliza kulamula come 21 May
This pumbwa needs to jail himself first for 15 years before we take him seriously. He is the most corrupt president. He never wanted to fight corruption. Instead he has protected criminals, himself being one of them. He never wanted to free ACB, despite this being in the previous manifesto and he thinks he can now fool us. Nkhanga zaona, watchera kumwezi. Just start booking your next flight to USA. But we will still have you repatriated.
Amalawi tizayankha ndi vote tisiyeni. Masiku atha kale awa
Very unpresidential! Sue this idiot pls.
Dont waste yur time with this bloody idiot dpp, they are packing ofunika ma airport onse pa 22may asazapase agalu amenewa danga lothawa
Clueless leader, you’ll fight corruption why not ending it now. Malawi says no to corrupt leaders. Hi5 chooooongu!!!!!!!!
Right hand is almost paralyzed. Were you born a left handed man? Akalamba awa inu. Callista has experience of what the Muthalikas do when they are old. Uyu now is beyond the age at which Bingu died. He is much worse. Tiyese zina. You have failed to fight corruption. You are a thief with Zameer. Chilima more fire. Chakwera more fire mpaka achite collapse. He is more or less a statue now.
As a lawyer, Peter Mutharika should have known and appreciated the role the CSOs play in good governance system but alas old age is doing a disfavour to him. By the way, Mutharika and his DPP were at one point forced to refund MK145,000 to one corrupt supplier because of the same CSO influence. Who is criminal here? one who is an enemy to good governance systems, i suppose!!!!
Actually DPP didn’t return the dirty money It was merely a public stance to save the face of “stealers”. But they got it back through the backdoor. The money was in fact a tip of the iceberg. God wanted just to expose thieves. This is the money DPP is now using for its extravagant lifestyle, opulent campaigns, very expensive but bizarrely large fleets of vehicles.
Once in stealer (cheater) always a stealer. Make no mistake about it, it’s a fact of life
@Cops koma ndie mungodziphatu coz Dpp will win this election and you’ll still heard of it bra
Yea in your dreams buddy……………………………..
what is the difference between Bingu [mhrip] ditching UDF to form DPP and Chilima ditching DPP to form UTM. Both were following their minds/and leadership principles.full stop.
kkkkkkkk Mukativotera tizapanga kkk mesa muli m’boma kale osangopanga lero bwanji tisanakuvotereni kufuna kupusitsa anthu inu a D PHI PHI eti
Totally agree. CSOs are Criminal Society Organisations. They get so much money from donors and enrich themselves and yet keep frustrating government. How much money have CSOs received from western donors and what have they done with it? Go to the houses of the loud-mouthed activists and see the mansions they have built. Look at the cars they drive and go and check their fat bank accounts. To me, CSOs are worse than politicians because they are SELF-CHOSEN (not elected) and are accountable to NO-ONE. They behave with utmost impunity.
I agreem…..criminal society organisations.
Mxiiiiiiiiiiiiiiew ………………how i hate this party!
Because you are part of criminal organizations
@ vision
We all knw that it is DPP that is a criminal organisation. Stop killing people with albinism DPP
No. Because it is incompetent and a waste of time and space. The so called president is too old and clueless
@ vision
Nanunso inu khalani chete apa. Ndi mayesa ndi csos omwewa anapangisa kuti mubwere ndalama za ma deal za police zinalowa mu thumba a ambuyanuwa nde mukuti chiyani.
A criminal is one who kills and steals. DPP is killing people with albinism. It is looting our hard earned tax thru malawi police. I guess we can all tell which entity between csos and DPP
Whatever……….
Oh yes. You can say this again. Only criminals support this party.
