Malawi President Peter Mutharika is being accused of blatantly lying to the country over his trip to United States of America after observers said reason for the trip were not accurate.

Mutharika: Mist over his US trip
Mutharika: Mist over his US trip

Mutharika flew out Malawi on Monday April 13 and said he was going to Washington DC in United States where he is scheduled to deliver a keynote speech at the International Conservation Caucus Gala.

The President’s press office said he will be attending the high profile summit as one of the special guest speakers at the invitation of US President Barack Obama.

But Nyasa Times has been alerted that the 2015 U.S. Congressional International Conservation Gala was already held on March 19, 2015 at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium in Washington, D.C.

Organisers confirmed that the 2015 ICCF U.S. Congressional Gala honoured the Prince of Wales and it was attended by Guest of Honour, Prince Charles of Britain.

Information on the organisation’s website also confirmed the gala was held on March 15.

On departure at Kamuzu International Airport on Monday, Mutharika said: “It is a very important meeting that will draw together a number of leaders to discuss and share ideas on conservation. As a country we have been given the honour to deliver a keynote address at the meeting.”

Apart from the conservation gala, President Mutharika also said he is scheduled to hold discussions with various world leaders and officials on a wide range of issues affecting Malawi.

Among those leaders to have an audience with President Mutharika are Ms. Dana Hyde, Chief Executive of the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), Mr. James C. Nicholas, Executive Partner for Global Business Resources USA and his team.

Mutharika will also have an audience with professors from the Dayton University, OHIO, and the Chief Executive of Universal Leaf Company among others.

Nyasa Times also understands that Mutharika will have a stop-over in Dubai to meet  officials of RAK GAS of Saudi Arabia.

RAK GAS submitted applications for oil exploration licences in Malawi and a recommendation was made to grant them the licences.

However, a new fierce critic of Mutharika’s government, lawyer Z. Allan Ntata is a consultant of RAK GAS.

Government divided Lake Malawi into six parts called blocks. The Saudi company will take up blocks 4 and 5

  1. jimbo and tsetsefly inu ndiye a kape grade munakakhala anthu a nzeru munakamupambanitsa munthu amene mumafuna inu. Ndikukudziwani a gula la cashgate mumafuna muzitibelabe ndalama za misonkho yathu. Munyanga muona chaka chino.

  2. Mr.Ntata I think from today, onwards I will call you an Education fool because you have shown that you have nothing to offer to people of Malawi.

  6. Why is Mutharika meeting officials of RAK GAS? This is VERY STRANGE. Do you smell corruption?

  7. My fellow Malawians…. I believe the APM won the elections with the help of some technicians from the voting mobile service which was being utilized by MEC.
    I have figured it out how easy it easy to hack into the system without anyone knowing.
    Here is how it works….
    Anybody with knowledge of the system, can hack into it and may guess passwords, like ABC1234, which are default passwords. Once the hacker is in, they can change any voting numbers at will and there is no system to capture it.
    Now that we know how APM stole the election, responsible people must follow through and inevstigate. If this is not stopped, I assure all of you that I am going to run for office next year and I will beat everyone else running…purely by using the same system APM used.
    Watch me!!

  8. Surely there must be something in the Malawi Constitution that allows for the removal of a deadbeat President. This man APM cheated his way into the Presidency when he was already on a treason charge. Why can’t the opposition parties table a ‘no confidence’ motion in Parliament and declare a new election? There must be some legal way short or a revolution to get rid of this useless and dishonest man.

  9. Tinasankha kape. This man will one day wake up and realised its May 2019 and that nothing has been done on the ground that benefits Malawi.

  12. I’ve followed this story with interest. We need a Presidential explanation from the Press Officer-which Gala is the president attending? Another Website bearing similar acronym ICCF is to hold another gala on May 7th to honor Mr. Jonathan Bradford, CEO / President. This Gala has nothing to do with International Presidents.The Congressional Gala referred in this article was indeed held on March 19 where Prince Charles received an award.

  13. Its official Malaw has no President after Joyce Banda, we have a tourist in our midist. While JB used to go about familiarising with peoples problems, Mutharika goes frequently on foreign tours, going for dinners, and sleeping in expensive suits. We made a mistake guys

  14. A good Ten days shopping in America while Malawians dont have water, electricity and are starving due to hunger and the impending one. One year in office hundred. trips to US alone

  15. Oops!!!

    Point of correction: The website should read “Dinner.html” at the end not “Dunner”. Hence the right address is: iccfoundation.us/conservationupdates/ConservationinAfrica_Dinner.html.

    Thanks.

  16. I have checked the website for the organization: iccfoundation.us/conservationupdates/ConservationinAfrica_Dunner.html.

    It is true that Mutharika has been invited to a dinner where he and the president of Gabon will receive awards for conservation initiatives. The keynote address will indeed be made by Mutharika at the dinner.

    I think the so called “Observers” need to do information digging first before accusing someone that he is lying. You made all of us believe that the president really lied yet that’s not the case.

    May be the only concern that was supposed to be there is that alot of tax payers money may be spent on this trip since the president can not travel alone and I don’t think all of them can be sponsored by the organization.

  17. Malawians will always be docile and accept medicrity. These people are robbing us blind and we just sit phwiii and do nothing. I wish the military would send him packing and tell him to never come back! mbava iyi

  19. Musiyeni President akawone mkazi wake waku USA ndi ana… Munthu asapeze mpata wopuma? Abwana dyererani, akamadzabwera a Chakwera 2019 nayenso adzapeze bankrupsy.

  20. The president needs a presidential Jet as any president in the long term. Forget about financial problems facing Malawi. Hiring a jet will cost more, same as if you rent a house or hiring a car all the time. Lets us think about it MW.

  21. Utsogoleri wakuba uwu, ngakhale wolengeza chisankho analira, kuyimvera chisoni Malawi. Manyazi alibe, kutero kusapemphera, mzimu alibe!

  22. Mutharika has no people @ heart, the looming hunger will definately kill us, he is not serious

  23. Typical Peter. He has gone to correct and review his USA assets declaration issues.

    Also to beg ntata not to damage his party and promise him that the gas contract is his and his Dubai cohorts.

  25. Thats why he failed to houner the deadbody of bro due to selfishness ,greedness, rudeness, reckless ,madness and so on and so forth ,chani

  26. i have checked o n the internet, the gala was held last month.i now believe what ntata has been ranting.this is a scumbug of a president.it is his prime minister who is telling him to lie to the nation.i cannot wait to hear what he is going to say on his return.

  28. People read this, like thieves who come at night to steal, Peter Mutharika has changed the message on his facebook page, he is not in USA for gala but for dinner.

  31. Now I believe Ntata, our president doesn’t know what’s happening around him. I don’t think he is the one lying but his inner circle. One lie after the other. Mr Mbendera now see what u ve done to Malawians. I feel sorry for APM. If his children are sensible let them use this opportunity to help their dads dignity and do the right thing. This is not own.

  32. Wake up people, don’t talk of something you don’t know about quite well. You don’t have to be in U.S in person inorder to file your taxes, you can do that from anywhere in the world.We do that on line.

  35. He is in the States to file tax returns on his earnings on property and bank accounts as April is the deadline. He had to manufacture a lie to dupe iliterate ignorant Malawians.

  40. He has also gone to prepare and submmit his annual tax returns to America’s IRS. This is a yearly exercise whereby every person earning income in America must account for each financial transaction to be sent to IRS. Peter Muthalika earns income in USA and therefore must abide by IRS rules. Is this not so bambo Muthalika?

  43. Malawi sidzatheka. You know what There is a Beating Conference at BICC whcih started on 14th April and it the President was supposed to the guest of honour at the conference. The OPC confirmed his attendance and in the local papers they have been announcing this news. And all site meetings were being conducted by Public events guys at BICC in preparation for HE presence. alas it was last minute when the organisers of the event heard on the tv that president will be travelling to USA same period and indeed it has happened. I really dont understand how the itenary/trips of the president can be planned a month in advance. did those responsible for president Itenary not aware of the two events. Shame on you guys.

  44. the other side of the coin – it can be a date error of the printing of the date – any way still as a leader he can meet as many fellow professors, the leader of US as he is his personal friend, the John Kerry and many others.

    The aim of having media, is to inform us the people, and we need to be positive sometimes to prevent an foreseen circumstances. People are getting beaten, killed sometimes due to how our reporters have made their reports and sometimes the news we are given is worthless and useless.

    In all our reports we must make sure of what will people learn of this report am making? If it is not beneficial please better not give us the news.

  45. The president must be a shame to human race if what Nyasatimes reports here is right. Why can he not tell the nation the truth? If he is sick he could just said he has gone to the hospital. It is normal and human to be sick. I hope nyasatimes is just playing a joke here which seems to be an expensive one. If correct then Ntata is right may be The defacto Prime Minister wanted to visit USA then commanded APM to do that. What a shame to this Lomweism.

  48. Peter and his type are scum of the earth. All they know best is cheat and steal. This guy is a weasel and has crooked his way through most things and he knows it. He was a pathetic “professor” of Law 101. Malawi as a country is in trouble if these are the kind of people that lead the nation

  49. This is what poor Malawians wanted by giving him this post, you rejected good leader Dr C hakwela, ndiye poti sife oyamba even the Jews rejected Jesus and choose Barbar and worse still anzathuwa sankadziwa koma ife timadziwilatu ndiye tisadabwe.

  50. christians shld nt b taking part in politics,these ppl r lies, thieves,mony hungly,dont even vote 4them.

  51. This dude and his gaffament are callous. A lot of civil servants have not been paid their March, 2015 salaries up to now because, it is said, Government has no money to meet the payment of the salaries and yet he chose to travel to Ethiopia and now the USA with lots of his barking dogs. Could some of the money that was paid for his dogs’ air fare and allowances not be enough to cater for the shortfall on the salaries? What sense does this make to the poor Malawian civil servant who has to pay rent, fees and fend for the family? It is a big shame to also learn that he lied to Malawians about participating in a meeting that took place in March.

  52. akunama ameneyo wapanga ulendo so that he can accummulate allowances akayise into his account ku America. komanso akulimbana ndi Joyce Banda

  54. They have gone for shopping.By the way akamabwera adzereko ku SA kuti atengeko mafana ali stranded wth xenophobia mu ndege yakeyo.

  55. Mwayambapo? I for one had no problems with you, Sir despite not being pro DPP koma izi nde bullshit!!!

  58. It is very unfortunate if indeed the function was held in March. May I ask the Authorities to be very prudent in their dealings.

  61. What is wrong with us Malawians. And then we blame Z Ntata for exposing the shenanigans at Plot number 1, instead of questioning this jamboree of a circus which is the DPP led administration. Why lie to us. Why not tell the truth. I would not be surprised if Chola Boy Phiri is behind this trip. If he wanted to go and buy more expensive suits and collect rentals at his US properties he should have just said so. Predictably some fanatics will come out guns blazing in defense of such corruption and misrule.

  63. THEY WILL REFUTE THAT IT IS A SCAM . AKATERO PETER MUTHARIKA WAMALIZA ALI PHEE. KOMA NGATI AKUNAMA CHONCHI POYERAYERA NDI ZINGATI AKUCHITA ZAMSERI? AMALAWI NDIFE OGONA KWAMBIRI.

  65. What else would you expect from a puppet leader surrounded by highly incompetent advisers. This is one of the many goofs coming out of poor advice. Taking Malawians as highly ignorant people that one can just come out with any lie and no one will ever find out. Idiots

  70. A country which relies on mediocre people like Patricia Kaliati as Minister for life, it is justifiable to be the poorest on earth

  73. Not surprised, ndi mmene achitira mu banja limeneli.

  76. Nchabodza chi mlomwe ichi. All those who voted for this imbecile are all lunatics like your president. How can a whole person calling himself president have only one tooth? Ndi baby?

  77. Mukuzizwa vichi na vichitiko vya munthu winu uyu. Munthu uyu ndiyo ni munkhungu/wakwiba/mbava yakufikapo ngani umo mukulu wakhe wakawira chindere chakufikapo. It is unfortunate for the whole of the president to lie to well over fifteen million people about his visit. Since his stealing of votes in May last year, I for one, have no trust in him that is why even if he comes in the territory where I live, i do not have a dot of interest to see him.

  78. I agree with the writer. Google 2015 conservation gala you will know that it took place on March 19. So which one is this?

  79. Can you leave the President alone Please!!!!!!!! why do you follow each and every step he makes Nyasa times, more over you told people not to vote for him and you have tries all ways to pull him down and you are continueing harassing him. He has a right to privacy and has a right to visit donors like millenium Challenge and many other cooperating partners so dont divert Malawians.

  81. If this is true then the so called president is liable to impeachment because he has committed a crime by wasting public funds or has stolen our money by false pretence so his impeachment is valid. We need our sleepy parliament to wake up and start holding the executive branch accountable so that we don’t continue seeing those thieves in the name of presidents and their colonies enriching themselves illegally.

  83. We need the paparazzi to check on his movements. He is going to open new bank accounts buy property etc in order to make good his fake asset declaration. Journos wake up!!

  85. This what Malawians choose in returns this is what we should deserve.He must pay back these moneys if ti was other countries he would have been called to shade more light on this, probably he would also paid back all these expenses.See my name.

  87. So what has he realy gone there for? To deposit some cash into his US Acc to make up the deficit according to his claims in the declaration or medical check-up or treatment because the man looked abit unhealthy and overweight if my
    eyes judged that video of his guard inspection at KIA correctly.

  89. Just lying to the nation like that shows that there are big underlying reasons for the trip. Tell the truth.

  90. He is going to renew his greencard and also for anual leave as you knw is close to a year now in office

  92. This is a very stupid president malawi has ever seen. A liar, a thief, tribalist, saddist who is just keeeping Pss at home on full pay and removing chiefs willy nilly as he pleases. Mbolo yako

  94. 19 or 15 March?Any way,ndi umudzi kwawotu kumeneko.He will be spending the nights at his house.Worry not.

  95. A cheating president. he is going to sort out the cheat on declared assets. sad for the country as a head of state. some diehard must be burrying their heads mu manja. Mukumva bwanji A Goodall Ndi A Chaponda. Men of intergrity

  96. So what are you going to do?? That’s the extent of stupidity for voting DPP I power. Don’t cry. What do you expect from such untruthful politicians? There is more chaos to come.
    Democracy is all a lie. Why can you not choose to unelect such a malingering government??
    Mulila simudati.

  99. Why is lying to Malawians ? Is he trying to disguise himself as someone who is very important ?

    The guy is a crook ,he just wants to spend and misuse our hardly earned taxpayers money , more to it he is showing off to those black Americans that he is the in charge of one of the poorest country on earth.

    The guy is an idiot , why lying ?

  100. PLEASE MR. PRESIDENT LEAVE THE LAKE ALONE. OIL IS GETTING CHEAPER NOW. IT IS THE OIL COMPANIES THAT PROFIT. LEAVE THE CHAMBO ALONE. A MALAWI PLEASE PLEASE PROTEST ON THIS IN THE STREETS. SIMUZILAWA NDALAMA ZA OIL. BOLA MUKUDYA CHAMBO NDI BONYA. CHONDE CHONE A MALAWI LAKE MALAWI IS THE BEST ASSET THAT EVEN WAKUMUDZI AMAPINDULAPO. KODI OIL POLLUTION SIMUKUYIMVAAAAA? THIS IS GREEEEEEED. POLITICIANS ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO ARE BENEFITING. STOP OIL EXPLORATION IN LAKES IN MALAWI NOW. MUKATI MWADYA NYAMA AMALAWI NDI NSOMBA ABALEEEE!!!!
