Mutharika slurs North Malawi MPs caucus: ‘Bunch of failurers who can’t see development ’
President Peter Mutharika has gone to town castigating Northern Region Members of Parliament (MPs) Caucus which has been established to purely fight for developments of the region, saying it is “a bunch of failures.”
Mutharika, who is touring the north, said his government is giving the region many development projects and that the ‘northern block’ causus are just frustrated individuals and failures who cant appreciate the good things.
Speaking when he toured tarmac roads the government is constructing in Mzuzu, Mutharika cited the Mzuzu-Nkhata Bay Road, Njakwa-Chitimba Road, and the roads in Mzuzu as some of developments his government promised and are underway.
He said all the roads will be completed, adding that he wants all roads in Mzuzu to be tarmacked by 2019.
“Very soon we will start the Karonga-Songwe Road. So, if someone says there are no developments in the North, they are blind, they can’t see or they live somewhere else on the moon,” said Mutharika.
The North MPs caucus maintains that Mutharika government has failed to provide enough developments in the region.
It also accused the government of Mutharika for practising nepotism and continued application of quota system in selecting students to public universities.
One of its members, Rumphi Central MP, Enock Chihana (Aford) said they are ware that since the Caucus was formed, government is pressing the panick button and had to arrange President Mutharika to visit the north.
“The President visit in the north is to prop up a fake image that government is developing the region,” said Chihana.
He claimed that government is also organising and sponsoring groups in the region to disown the Caucus, saying they will not be intimidated.
“We will not be intimidated at all. It’s high time we fight for the development of the region. North Malawi does not nee lip service or small cake from government . We want a fair share. We pay tax like anybody else in this country. We all vote and we all are Malawians,” he said.
“We are there to fight for development and that is what we will do. We are MPs from different parties, but it is the geopolitics that has brought us together.”
Meanwhile, some pastors led by Prophet Amos Chuma has said the idea of forming groups will bring confusion because not all of them are there for development.
But Prophet Chuma said pastors are equally “ not satisfied with the level of development in the region.”
North MPs Caucus publicity secretary Agness Nyalonje (People’s Party) said the pastors grouping might have been funded by government to divide the caucus.
“They are entitled to their opinion but you don’t start saying these people have ill motives when you don’t know what their agenda is,” said Nyalonje.
Caucus chairperson Kamlepo Kalua said the grouping wants to push for construction of roads, universities, health facilities, secondary and primary schools, and other social development projects in the region.

At present if we can be serious with observation, the whole Malawi needs modern planning of its cities, highways, road construction and the like so that our country should match modern standards. The state president alone cannot solve all the problems rocking the country he should be flexible enough to accommodate other people’s views. The other issue is we should start electing presidents by rotating in regions so that no region should continue crying. In that way those in leadership will be acting responsibly, they will not take things for granted.
Mutharika hit the nail on the head.. Let’s talk about Nkhata Bay District..
The MP’s past and present have done nothing and will never do anything for the area or
the people. There was an American Investor in NB who built a unique and beautiful Tourist
Facility in the Boma on the Lakeshore. A local Tonga Man (Richard Chinyanga Chirwa)connived with
The Lands Officer (Santos Mphande) to steal the Americans Investment. The MP or The Tourism Official of Nkhata Bay did nothing to help this Investor. Eventually in 2016 after 7 years of struggling on his own the Investor demolished
such an amazing Tourist Investment. Thereafter the Court rendered judgment on his behalf condemning the Local man and his Accomplices!.. The point is.. What is the reason the area have MP’s? .. None whatsoever. They are not interested in development of the area or country. They are only interested in developing their own stomachs.
Malawi has too many useless MP’s and lazy people especially in the North!… Mutharika is right..
He should get rid of all of them. The Northern Region is hopeless due to the cultural attitude, behavior and lack of education of the local Tribe!…
NORTH PIPO, AGALU INU KUZIKONDA TOO MUCH, GOD SHOULD PERISH YOU, BOLAKO A CENTRAL BUT NORTH E PANYAPANU NONSE, MUNYEPANE
Kkkkkkkk yoo.malawi is a joke taking its pple as a fluke.roads development is far behind.all of us we’re failures.come to south africa n see how they build roads.malawi infrastructure is very bad n poor…good development comes with good leadership.our cities in malawi were not properly planned n designed… South africa’s smaller towns can not even match to those so called cities of malawi.come here in RSA you will c reall development…
Bwana Muthalika, you have no moral authority to condemn MPs for the initiative that primarily seeks to foster development of North Malawi. I have never doubted your inability to see things objectively particularly knowing that your main agenda as DPP and as Lomwes has been to promote the supremacy of your tribe. Now you can’t hide it anymore. You are now only promoting and appointing your tribesmen into important jobs in the public sector. Then you think others should sit back and allow you to abuse power wily nilly. This caucus should condemn this politicization and tribalization of the public service. This caucus should provide checks and balances that should ensure that the public service should remain professional and provide services to our country. The North has been neglected for a long time and it’s amazing that despite sustained efforts by succeeding administrations the North remains a region with more progress in terms of poverty indices than the rest of the country. I hope this caucus will not waste its time engaging with you but will provide strategic direction for development of our region. Nobody will meaningfully develop the North than Northerners themselves. There are a lot of donors internally and externally who are willing to support development in the North. Nyika National Park is the largest and most beautiful in the entire Malawi and yet it is the least developed. It can rake in more forex than the entire tobacco industry. It’s not one of the priorities. Hmmmmm what a shame. Are you not a bunch of losers instead of our MPs?
Please stop this nonsense Mr president. Your brother brought quarter system in Malawi of which shows the divisions in the nation. Stop copying things from other countries. When will you start constructing mbombela university in mzimba to dismiss all these allegations of favor of your leadership. Don’t drug your name under the mud by your wrong leadership but polish your failure
we r fuckin tired of this blood kak,called president of south and Central.
caucus viva and it must not die in vane ,these people think we are rabish as the northerners
Northern MPs caucus is the way to go, backward never forwards ever! Mps represent their constituents and Northern MPs represent Northerners FULL STOP!!!
Ngati nanunso mukufuna form Mulhako caucus or Lhomwe caucus ….no polubulemu amangwetu!
The Northern caucus MPs are not failures, they are winners…they won their parliamentary seats bwana!
Let me xool you bwana and the whole blue or Mulhako league….a failure is a leader who can subject his citizens to blackouts and water shortages and proclaim…ndilibe pulobulemu!
A failure is a leader that can watch while universities are being closed left , right and center and claim no responsibility!
A failure is a leader who can let a bunch of ministers go scotch free while being accused of stealing a whooping 577 billion kwacha.
Some leaders their only success is winning elections and managing to appoint their tribesmen to head in all important departments ie the army, police and NIB!!!
There is no law which says an MP should live in his constituency. To represent is not the same as to live in, a constituency.
Nanga ma mps apa central akafoma yao zitha bwanji? Nanga aku mmwera akati ifeso zitha bwanji? timagulumagulu timayambitsa maphokoso. Chitukuko chikuta dziko lonse
Mr Kalua doesn’t stay in his constituent. Instead he lives in the southern region.How then can he develop his area when he is living in an ivory tower?
I don’t know which part of Malawi can be described as developed. Look at what we call the Capital City! Look at what we call the Commercial city. It’s a laughing stock. The MPs should focus on providing ideas and enforcing checks and balances, not just for the President but for all levels including local government. How much money is stolen in the district assemblies in the North? Is the Mzuzu mayor performing?
The president should not be afraid of criticism and scrutiny. He should in fact invite constructive criticism and challenge the caucus to come up with suggestions. Let’s hear those suggestions and judge them for what they are. No need to be jittery.
U are right. MPS job is to inform the government what is needed in their careas but Northerner Mps have tried with all governments but they are not head. But they want our voted and our tax. If we could divide tax North and Novertherners have their tax which they can use for development in North what will happen? Mind u Northerners are more educated and earn more. Also we are many abroad we can contribute to our region. But that is not what we want. Malawi is one nation its leaders like Muntharika Who came to divide Malawi into tribes and region. Once they desapear we will unite Malawi again. He is becoming like his brother Who insulted Northerners. Its up to Northerners to see the truth about this man. If we are stupid vote for him.
MAY YOU PLEASE ASK HIM THAT “WHO IS FOOLING WHO” AND HE SHOULD NOT VISIT US OR TO PASS
HIS SHIT HERE AGAIN.
We also want our Ntwala Corridor project which was snatched from us since Kamuzu Banda time and now the Mutharikas who have turned it into Nsanje waterway
Osachita khwizi zichitika koma ukanga ndiwamba muchotse
APm muchita discipline central medical stores, akagula mankhwala pa Buy Malawi campaign opanda matendera, mitengo yakwera kwambiri, ndi mankhwala amabwera pa ma drum nchokera China ndi repacked in Malawi labelo ama mata made in malawi, aku ipisa dzina za DPP
Uuuuummmm!!! tilekani ise wena Mpoto, the blessed land, home of think tanks.
You are right Mr President you are developing the northern region but can you tell us why you are not developing the Eastern Region. Tinakulakwirani chani inu a DPP? Machinga has no boarding secondary school, Lirangwe chingale road simukumanga, malindi makanjira road simukumanga, the fisheries university in mangochi and the airport simukumanga. In fact since DPP took power in 2004 what has it done in the eastern region?
It is Muthalika himself who is a damn failure.He has led our nation to be a liability and depending on begging for its existence from foreign donors,shame!!!! He has plunged our nation into economic and political quagmire of unproportional dimention.Regrettably,he has turned our country into one of the poorest in the world with corruption unseen in 52 years of independence,he has plunged Malawi into a brutal nation whereby crime and corruption have become life of the day with tribalism dangerously reaching its apogee.Malawians in diaspora mainly Northerners,strongly support the North Malawi MPs caucus for its patrioctic stance.The people of the North have endured hard and torturous life worse than during colonial regime and yet,Northerners were in the forefront in the struggle for Independence and multi-party struggle.The demands therefore,by the MPs caucus is both legitimate and patriotic.How would the national Government treat other citizens as outlandish? 52 years of independence the North has been left to die a slow demise,while the two regions enjoy the fruits of independence.Northerners are oppressed in every sector of life,be it in education,jobs,infrastructures, and many other necessities of life at times the Northerners are treated brutally more than South Africans under Boers.Malawi belongs to us all and we therefore demand that the government stop persecuting and neglecting the citizens of the North.ALUTA CONTINUA,THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES!!!!!
Maganizo abwino kwambiri.Pazikhala kusiyana pakati pa nyengo yochita CHITUKUKO ndi nyengo yochita NDALE. Bravo North MPs.
…and who is paying for the tarmacking of these roads?
The northeners just want to confuse Malawians with these informal groupings
Chenyono! You are an expert hypocrite. Where were you when Mlahko Wa Lomwe grouping was formed? Uchitsiru wa anthu ophunzira ama points 36 ndi umeneyo, ntchito kudalira quota system.
