Mutharika offers K5 million ‘albino bounty’: Malawi buys personal security alarms from Britain
President Peter Mutharika has pledged that his government will pay a K5 million reward for any report leading to the arrest and prosecution of anyone hatching plans to abduct, maiming and kill Persons with albinism (PWAs).
The Malawi leader disclosed this on Thursday at Kamuzu Palace in Lilongwe when he met a group of people with albinism calling itself Poor and Concerned People with Albinism (Pacpwa) – split with a splinter group of the Association of Persons Living with Albinism in Malawi (Apam) which declined to meet the President, choosing a vigil outside Kamuzu Palace from March 6 to 8 this year instead.
Mutharika also disclosed during the meeting that government has procured 3 000 personal security alarms from Britain to be distributed to persons with albinism.
Since November 2014, the number of reported crimes against people with albinism in Malawi has risen to more 150 cases, including at least 23 murders and seven attempted murders, according to public records.
There is a myth that PWAs are targeted for their body parts for rituals some people believe bring magical powers, including those that can make one rich.
But the Society of Medical Doctors has dismissed such beliefs, stating that PWAs are no different from any other person apart from the skin, hair and eye colour.
Reads a flyer from the doctors condemning the attacks: “Albinism is an inherited condition characterised by lack of ability to produce a pigment that affects vision, hair and skin known as melanin. People with more melanin are darker than those with less melanin.”

Is this personal money or government money? If it is government’s money who has authorized it?
Mr President, why are you a Professor of Law allowing your cadets to break the law and drive vehicles with Illegal “Ana a Adadi ” number plates? Why has Dausi and Mchacha instructed the police not to touch these vehicles? What is being ferried in these vehicles? Why are you allowing such lawlessness Sir? Are you surprised that people are saying these cars are used to carry Albino parts? If its not true, then you have brought this bad accusations on yourself bay failing to uphold the Law and constitution which you swore to obey. Its not only disgraceful, but impeachable.
mvula ikagwa zolila kuchuluka. but let us not politicize this issue. it seems other pple are happy kuti wina aoneke kulephela. tiyeni on this issue be serious on how to end this issue collectively. a ndale i know them they will be boxing instread of ending this issue like momwe tichitilila pamuzi pakachitika malaro or matenda. shame on us all tili busy kupanga ndale pa vuto la anzathu.

do we really need a commission of enquiry pa izizi? kodi mesa munthu anaulula apolice amupha? poyambira palipo, munthu watchulidwayo bwanji osamumanga? DPP musamatipusitse mwamva!!!!!!!!!
A president,mumangisa anthu osalakwa,kunjaku kuli ludzu la ndalama ndiye mwati olandira akhala amene aulule za ma plan to abduct ? Print it clearly and school the prospective bounty hunter properly.
they shld not implement that business of 5m but instead life should pay life not money
Ma albino alipo 3thousand pa Malawi pano? Plastic surgery. Ponyani apolisi mmakukamu. In all villages. Ndalamayo ikwanira ma allowance
5 must ikutuluka lero. Ma albino afa angati.? The sad thing about Malawi is the country is full of uneducated people who vote blindly.
Mr Maliseche we want to know y dpp police service killed Buleya and don’t u mention abt those who are involved? The nation knws u r big fish u knw the beta than we do why Buleya was killed.
But guys, don’t you think that Buleya was interrogated in police custody, anauwulula chirichonse then decided kumupha kuwopa kuchititsa manyazi a big man. Alubino, anakawonako ku State house, apasidwa madzi okumwa ozizira, ku mtima mbeeeeee😆😆😆😆🤔 am just joking, chonde musandiukire
Is Dausi now going to make fun of the personal security alarms his government is buying for the people living with albinism ? He laughed at Chakwera for promising the same once he assumes government come May 22. Sad. Umbuli ndi matenda zedidi. K5.0million siyamwazi imeneyo?
The alarms are not enough for everyone. Understand there are 10,000 people of albinism
Where was this all this while?…and the problem is not about the killers and abduction, the problem is to find the end or market for these atrocious acts. Mr President we have already found and arrested albino killers but all we need is the market and the end. Send the police to go flat out and they will end this
Tidye cash APA, iweyo pitala ndi DPP ndiamene mukupha ma alubino.. Zangazo ndalama ndipaseni
What are you going to do with the one who mentioned Buleya Lule and died in police custody Mr President? Is the other one not going to go through the Buleya Lule way. Zikuopysatu bwana.
Choka akuti kuwulula kwake ndikumeneko man. Maluzi angokuchapani man.
Alarms for what? If people are able to steal a car which has got car track system and is fully patrolled, then what more such ordinary alarms, guys apapa tukamba za moyo wa munthu osati zomalankhula ngati mukamba za njinga zamoto pilizi.
Iweyo tanena solution yako….enawo akuti bero ndiye wanyazisa taponya njilayo mwachangu
Those that were arrested are the ones who got the solution to this Barbalic act, kodi muja anamuphera mchimwene wathu wa ku dedza muja, anthu anayezetsa koma anakanika mpakana anthu kutemedwa mmudzi muona ngati alarm ingapange chan? Anangoyenera adziwe customer nkunyonga ameneyo ndekuti palibenso uyo angaganize zolupha azibalewa, the problem here is a buyer not a seller, boma likulimbana ndi ogulitsa osalimbana ndi ogula so eeeeeisshhh zikavuta tizangoona povota basi.
Kanada atavuta ku mangochi akupha atsogoleri a ndale kamuzu anangochotsapo kamudzi koseko mkukaika ku Dzeleka zose kuthera pomwepo. Kumtumanji ndi azake ku chilobwe chilomoni ndi chitawira kamuzu anangogwira nduna imene inatchulidwa ndi suspect woyamba kugwidwayo mkukamuika ku Zomba prison khani yonse kuthera ponpo. Koma lero ma suspect ambirimbiri agwidwa koma khani kulerephera kutha chifukwa alomwe ali m’boma ndiwo akupha anthu chifukwa chofuna makhwala a zisakho. Taganizani Buleya anali Mlomwe M’busa uja ndi mlomweso wa polisi uja mlomweso. Olo mu alabino aphedwere ku Kalonga muva kuti suspect area of origin lomwe belt. Anamapopa lomwe belt. Kudulani mawere lomwe belt. Ati mankhwala owinira zisankho. Solution ndikuwachotsa alomwewo pa 21 may pano. Na mmalawi amene akumva chisoni ndi infa ndi nkhanza izi asadzavotere dala DPP ndiye kuti azathuwa atha kuphedwa.
How long does it take police to arrive at a crime scene?
Useless,,why did government killed Buleya??Thats guy could have helped to solve this puzzle..Kumupha dala lero ndikumati amene angaulure mumupatsa 5 million.. Infact your name is being mentioned in a lot of social media as the one behind this..Who are you trying to fool??
Make use of the viral audio clips implicating ntaba ;Peter and friends — they know something —
Mwachedwa akulu. Nthawi yonseyi munali kuti. Beware with these kind of Samaritans pamene aona kuti chisankho chayandikira
Cash diplomacy. That’s what a president of Malawi wanted. MBC coverage trying to show a gallant face. Every sane Malawian with the guts to think knows that this president has dismally failed to bring this horror to an end. Ndifuna ndiziwe kuti kodi kuvotera Peter Mutharika ndiye ukuvotera chani? Ndiye kuti ukuvotera kuti anthu awa achialbino apitirire kuphedwa chifukwa boma ili liribe lingapange ndondomeko iliyonse, liribe chidwi choti ndondomekoyo gwire ntchito. Voterani chipani china kuti awa akapume ndi kulephera kwawoko.
As usual the foolishness of the DPP regime never stops, and typical of anybody rolling in corrupt money they think brandishing K5 million at the albino killings will stop the killers who are themselves hired by well connected people driving around in “An a Adadi” number plates that never get searched by the police? And why waste money on personal alarms? Who will come to the rescue? The police have no vehicles or fuel, and most of them are happy to kill to defend those who are ordering Albino killings even right there in the police cells.
Just look at the poor lady Albino sitting next to the president, she’s scared to death of the bone collector in chief.
Absolutely tragic.
Rapid response! You coming in a little too late
Bolani a peter mutharika mukhale kuti mukunena zoona chifukwa ma politician inu boza limakuchulukirani kwambiri simutha kukwanilitsa zinthu zomwe mwanena
kkkkkk koma Malawi
The onw who was supposed to tell us the truth was murdered by your police, But why has it taken you this long???
