Mutharika cares really? Persons with albinism reject APM branded alarms

May 11, 2019 Green Muheya -Nyasa Times 44 Comments

Association of People with Albinism (Apam)  has rejected the security gadgets which the government bought to aid in monitoring the security of people with albinism because  they are inscribed “APM Cares” – apparently refrerring to President Arthur Peter Mutharika.

The gadgets come in blue colour  and are inscribed “APM Cares”.

Apam Deputy General Secretary Ian Simbota said they are against the personalisation of the 1 600 security gadgets .

Simbota said it is wrong to personalize property bought using tax-payers’ money.

“It is one big question that I think a serious organisation like Apam shouldn’t just look at it and let it go. We are not ready to look as if we were siding with anyone,” Simbota said.

He added: “If you look at guns, which the police and the Malawi Defence Force have, you will not find anything like ‘APM cares’, you will not find anything like ‘Bakili Muluzi cares’ or ‘Bingu cares’ because they were bought within the time such leaders were in power. So, why are those security gadgets written ‘APM cares’? We, as an association, can’t subscribe to that and we are not ready to use that and until it becomes neutral.”

Human Rights Defenders Coalition  (HRDC) chairperson Timothy Mtambo has backed Apam’s stand to reject the blue gadgets, saying nobody, including the incumbent Head of State should be using people because of their vulnerability.

“Somebody should not use national resources for campaign. That’s actually unacceptable. APM did not take the money from his pocket,” Mtambo said.

  1. The DPP is just a morass of morons. How stupid and idiotic.

    Please countrymen, lets get rid of these idiotic, morons. How can we leave the country in the hands of these dunderheads?

  2. The Way these DPP People are Reasoning sindizatodabwa ndi pa Panado pa Ma bandage pomwe atalemba APM Cares ….Kodi Anatogulira makobiri ache Ambwiye Che APMwo ….kapena Misonkho yathu?

  3. @Anzelu ndi Anzelu the albinos’ lives are already at risk from APM Govt & the gargets labelling of APM Cares is to fool them coz the killings origin is DPP lead Govt. This culture of personalizing tax payers money with the ruling party is pure theft & insult to Malawian lets hope Chilima & Usi put it to stop after 21st May.

    1. @Kanyimbi mwaonesa kale kuti mulimbali yiti. This issue of killing albinos inayamba ku Tanzania, then Mozambique, after that Malawi. The chief culprits behind this are these satanic witchdoctors who are promising people riches and lucky charms through albino tissues. DPP officials may be implicated, yes. But let’s cast the net wider because there are others also who may be involved. This being an election month and with so much smear campaigns, I smell a rat in those accusing others. After elections, when there is all-round sobriety, then we will know who the real killers are.

      1. @ Anzelu

        We are talking about killings of persons with albinism and the information we have is that the mutharika led government is involved. Musanamizire asing’anga please . The names have been mentioned and we all know them. Is this rocket science for you to understand?. Incase you haven’t heard the names mentioned well I will volunteer them to you. It’s mutharika, mussa, Dausi and ntaba

        1. @from likoma
          U r so loughable indeed… follow these events carefully and with a sober mind of analysis…don’t be partisan in ur thinking and analysis..can’t you see that these are the most hated names in DPP by the opposition and mtambo’s CSOs??..these are names in DPP that are causing too much headache in the opposition UTM n MCP camps…. that yohane guy has been bought just to bad smear these DPP guys mnthawi ya campaign ino…but it’s too late even village pipo know it’s all lies akungowanamizira and pipo will still vote for them….bodzatu silisowa likanenedwa ..I tell you silikhala ndi weight at all….yohane amunamizani kuti UTM ikawina azamutulutsa ku ndende…koma azalira ikaluza miserably pa 21 pano

      2. Chitsiru iwe eti…Magufuli in TZ took action, mfiti yakoyi couldn’t because ikupha ma alubino ndiiypyo ndi Ntaba. Its nor speculation kapena smear campaign, Mutharika ndi thakati uzingoona kunyansaso chinkhope ngati kumatako. Nonsense. Aziika chi dzina chake choopsacho pama gadgets anagula ndi iyeyo kapena Malawian money? Mfiti zokhazokha kubakiraba mitumbo yanu fotseki

  5. There are no brains left in the DPP, just Madeya basi. Blunder after blunder. Useless people.

  6. Apam you’re drived with someone I can see. Jst a brand? Why we have Bingu stadium? Did he use his pocket money? Why we have Kamuzu central hospital ? Did he use his pocket money?

  8. Just leave them Mr President, these people of Apam are being used by opposition so whatever you can do for them will never appreciate by complain of it so leave them to do whatever they want to do with their lives but don’t mind then again if they will need your help. They are fully politically used.

    2. Kkkkkk which opposition now? Government property must be written APM cares really? Come on Malawians. Who cursed this beautiful country to deserve this ??????

      1. Inu nanu these albinos are being used by the UTMs,MCPz,Mtambo etc against the DPP govt….but akungozitaisa time….big thing here is kungowasiya apange zofuna zawo with their lives mwina akuwatuma mwanowo awathandiza..after all they are not the only group of people being murdered in malawi… everyone is at risk so boma should focus on every citizen’s security

  9. The sooner DPP gets out of the government the better. I can put a bet here.. once DPP gets out of government, that will be the end of DPP. At least UDF has survived… DPP will become extinct. Mark these words. Take a screenshot.

    1. Ukuyamba kumene kuzisata ndale eti??! DPP could have vanished the time the great Bingu died when it was pushed to opposition unexpectedly…but it reorganised and bounced back into govt….be careful with ur analysis man

  13. What’s wrong with that? Do they want protection or do they want to fuss about everything. It was Mutharira who came up with that idea. They wanted them to be branded Puma or Nike? They should stop being childish, their security is more important than petty political tantrums they are throwing. What value do they get by risking their lives for the sake of proving political correctness?

    1. @ Anzelu

      If you can’t appreciate their position on this matter, I truly question your mental status and level of comprehension of issues. With this kind of thinking inu anzelu or whatever people call you I can say it with my hand placed on my heart that the level of stupidly in malawi is of an unimaginable measure.

      1. @From Likoma, I really question your ability to analyze issues here. What position are you talking about? Them being heartlessly murdered or them being secure? How can you sink so low to trade the security of people living albinism for a sticker or decal? Obviously you are one of those dimwits and dumwits who politicize everything. I even think you are so ignorant that you are afraid of looking at the blue sky lest you see DPP colors on it. Think first before you comment, anthu akuphedwa awa, inu mukusewela ndichitetezo chawo chifukwa chandale.

        1. @ anzelu

          You know people like me with all I have upstairs can’t engage a sycophant and a political bafoon like you. For sure questioning my intellect and my academic enterprise is one thing that even your ancestors would surely be shocked about because they pretty well know that you and I operate at totally different levels. The resources that were used to procure the gadgets were drawn from the account number 1 and you may wish to be schooled that there is a clear line of distinction between the public purse which is financed inter alia by taxes and APM. It is thus the failure to understand and respect this distinction that you find politicians plundering national wealth the way mutharika led government is doing. I trust I am communicating here because I can’t get any technical here because zikudusani. Write again DPP follower

          1. @ from Likoma

            Well presented. Why should they wear security gadgets bearing the name of the very person Who is behind the killings. Anzeru inu ngatidi muli anzeru mukhale chete. Shame

        2. @ nzeru

          “Think first before you comment, anthu akuphedwa awa, inu mukusewela ndichitetezo chawo chifukwa chandale” . It’s exactly what we are saying sycophant and this is one simple thing that your grandfather president is trivializing and can’t get right because he is too raw and basic. No president worth his name would stoop so low to take advantage of the unfortunate situation that our brothers and sisters with albinism are facing to a get a political score by having his name written all over security gadgets bought using people’s tax. Why should mutharika has his name written on the gadgets procured using tax payers money and paint the gadgets in blue? This is carelessness, pettiness and stupidity . A whole professor thinking chaotically like that really?. Inu musatinyatse apa.

        1. @ john gray kufa

          Shaa a koma Inunso obalalika bwanji. Bigman forgive this dude. He is completely confused

  15. Why do you want to paint Malawi blue? DPP does not own Malawi. Apam yachita bwino kukana the blue branded alarms. Lately, some of your top government officials are being mentioned in court to be involved in killings of the same people with albinism then, how can you say you care? Shame shame shame !!

    2. Inunso a silica khalani chete apa. Why should they wear security gadgets bearing the name of the very person Who is behind their killings?. Stop wasting our time cadet iwee

  18. This is sad. Where on earth can this happen? After all the tax moneys in millions, some selfish bastards at state house spoiled these gudgets like that. This must be the work of the albino killers. Malawi is a sorry state. Being one of the four poorest countries in the world, this is what we can now do, shame.

  19. Na ine ndekha ndie ndisaname,na boma ili lokha dziphwisi dzimene akuphwisa ndidzaukali,kanyimbi akunama mpaka dzitakutulutsa mkafuno…kkkk!..how true it is? Just yesterday our ears filled with the bad stories concerning the same gvt and the same day distributing the gadgets written WHAT? I cant understand how stupid they are? Even our brothers and sisters with albinism pays taxes so is it fair to lebel the name of individual on their taxes? NO NO NO NOOOO!

  20. APM the killer trying to show he cares a hyena in sheep’ s skin. Kumwamba kwakana basi u may use whatever trick in the books but it will not work. You will fail miserably on 21 May
