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

How APM WON ELECTION
How APM WON ELECTION

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… Read more »

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.
