Mutharika spokesman says Malawi President ‘will not resign’ despite calls from CSOs

President Peter Mutharika’s spokesman Gerald Viola has said the Malawi leader ‘will not resign’ despite calls from Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), activists and human rights defenders.

Malawi President Mutharika refuses calls to resign

Viola said Mutharika is determined to remain in power until he finishes his term when elections will be held and he will contest for re-election and rejects CSO’s demand for his immediate departure at State House.

He said Mutharika will not resign and counter attacked the CSO’s, saying they are inciting regime change.

Viola said the CSO’s should form a political party to contest for election in 2019 than being in civil society.

“He [Mutharika] was mandated and elected by majority of Malawians (36 percent) during 2014 elections. If they are calling for resignation of the President, who do they think will take over? Timothy Mtambo?” queried Viola.

Viola said CSO’s claim that public trust has been eroded on Mutharika leadership is but a figment of imagination.

He rubbished the activist and human rights defenders saying they have no mandate from the people of Malawi.

“They are not representing Malawi. They are representing themselves and those that sponsor them,” the Presidential Press Secretary said.

Viola said if the CSO’s are representing Malawians, they should wait for the citizen to speak with their ballots in 2019 elections whether they want Mutharika out of power or not.

In a media statement, CSOs cited high cost of living and ailing economy, dwindling service delivery peppered with empty talk on Public Service reform as some of the indicators not reflecting well on Mutharika and therefore called on the President to take charge or resign if he feels he is not up to the task.

Among other recommendations, the CSOs have urged Mutharika to reduce local as well as international travels and revise the Decent and Affordable Housing Subsidy Programme budget and adjust downward the newly introduced fees in schools.

They have also urged Mutharika to respect and protect media freedom, by among others, signing the much-awaited Table Mountain Declaration, and fully supporting the enactment of the Access to Information Bill (ATI).

“To take quick measures to employ all health workers and teacher graduates to ease service delivery in the health and education sectors; address the drug shortage; depoliticize the public sector reforms by supporting it with necessary legal regime in order to ensure continuity; ensure that Public service reforms are periodically scrutinized by Parliament to improve the program delivery and ensure that reforms reflect the views and wishes of Malawians,” appeals the CSO’s.

The CSOs include Centre for Human Rights and Rehabilitation (CHRR), Human Rights Defenders Forum, Centre for the Development of People (Cedep), Civil and Political Space Platform as well as human rights activists Martha Kwataine and Billy Mayaya.

Others are Charles Kajoloweka of Youth and Governance Activist, Robert Mkwezalamba of Human Rights Consultative Committee (HRCC), Moses Mkandawire of Civic and Political Space, Kiko Mapunda of Centre for Governance and Public Participation, Benedicto Kondowe of Human Rights Defenders Forum, Bright Kampaundi of Forum for National Development, Desmond Mhango of CEYCA, and Macdonald Sembereka of MANERELA .

  5. CSOs can you provide monetary support to Malawi for the Government to fulfill all the demands you are putting across. By the way which CSOs are these? Can you identify yourself because some of the CSOs are equally surprised and shocked with your demands. Leave the President alone!!!

  6. A viola mumangafuse kuti kodi peter akapanga resigh atenge mpando ndani? olo mwana wa std 5 atha kukuyankhani funso lopusalo. kodi malamula adzikolino suwadziwa? Mwachidule tingoti kayambeninso sukulu[primary}

  7. Nde enanu mukamati sanasankhidwe fukwa anthu okwana 64% sanamuvotele (36% omuvotela Mutharika). Komatu anthu okwana 73% sanavotele MCP (27% omuvotela Chakwera), tikafika pa PP nde kuli ambili omwe sanavotele amai Joy. So mukamakamba zoti majority sinawavotele, muzikumbukila kuti nambala ( as percentage) ya anthu omwe sanavotele enawa ndiyokulilako kusiyana ndi ya aplezidenti aDPP. Nkhani ya anthu enanu yokhudzana ndi 64% ya anthu omwe sanavotele Pitala muchizungu timati “is illogical”

  8. Kodi what is the meaning of majority according to our constitution when we talk of elections?Mungozinamizabe basi,if you say 64% rejected him so tell us who did that 64% elected and who is the president now?Mupengatu kkkkkkķkkk

  9. “Naperi”, “defender” and “levelheaded”, I salute your insights into this issue. Is our sole job as Malawians to only dwell on the gaffes of our leaders but never fully analyse the leadership role and BOTH the negative and positive actions, policies and so on and so forth. Aside from this I am yet to see a criticism that actually points to alternative solutions we as Malawians in our different realms of understanding can appreciate or add on to.

    I feel it is a pointless undertaking to simply say government has failed without showing an understanding of the issue on which it failed as well as having the necessary knowledge to elaborate on a alternative measure or trajectory. By the way has any CSO, opposition party, media publication or anyone with an opinion, actually looked at the leadership, its policies, reforms and programs holistically?? I highly doubt that. I mean….ok, so he resigns, then what do we do?? Will our problems be over, and do we even know the extent of our current economic situation, do we have a predetermined direction we want to head towards??? Until that happens we are just shooting in the dark.

  10. CSOs, please people can only take you serious if you leave out Sembereka and Trapence. These two are themselves failures. I know Sembereka and Trapence – these guys are hungry of money and this is why Joyce Banda silenced them during her era by appointing Sembereka as advisor. Now they are looking for other opportunities. revisit your team please (free advise)

  11. This nonsense of “Kubera mavoti” must stop. You opposition and CSO members must know kuti mavoti saberedwa. You are failures and you will remain so. You will also be crushed in 2019. You mean you do not even understand why 36 percent is majority? Do you really read our Malawi constitution? By the way, why is it that the majority of the CSOs are from one tribe? Tikukuonanitu. Nafe zimenezi zatikwana. The Father and Founder of the Malawi nation the late Dr H.Kamuzu Banda(MHSRIP) founded this nation on the premise of PEACE. Inu adyeranu mubweresa nkhondo muno chifukwa tikukuonani. Mumadana ndi MTUNDU umodzi koma dziwani kuti mtundu umenewu ndi mtundu wa majority ngakhale nutaphatijuzana. Ndikubwereza inu a CSO tikukuonani. You can not just be faulting each and everything.Are you sure you did not see anything wrong in the just ended previous regime? Shame on you.

  12. APM 2019 Ngo!!!!! Akudzaxutsaso ngati mulibe zolankhula zanzeru inu otsutsa boma kulibwino mutapita kuchimbudzi mukadikirire.Musatitopetse ndikulankhula mbwelela …kumangoti tax payers money…Mumati ndalama azizitenga kut? Otsutsa boma mwatikwana kwambiri!!!!!

  13. A Viola, the truth is that he neither won elections and that 36% is not majority. Which school did you go to- paja mukumagula ma degree abodza you idiots like your president. The man you are calling president is not fit to be one he is a puppet of some people. Mind you there was Bingu in there and if you start this fight you may render your boss succumb to what his brother did- some of these things are family issues or ailments. These people appears to have a very bad blood magadzi awo ndi onunkha- the dictatorial tendency runs in the family- munthu walilaka ngati njoka kaleyo musiyeni akuferani mukhala padzuwa Chilima akakhala President.

  14. A Malawi tinatani kodi? president amene tikufuna azakhala otani becoz olo atagwa kumwamba timupezela chifukwa akhala olephera basi.Tizakhala osauka mpaka kutha kwa dziko ndi dumbo lathuli ndikakhala ine Chakwela ndinakanika kutumikila God ndiye palibe chomwe ndingachite. Anthu omwe mukunenao kuti ndi ma CSO ndimayesa amai momwe amatitengera ndalama zathu nkuti ali limodzi koma palibe ndi tsiku limodzi lomwe ma CSO auza amai Joyce Banda kuti abweze ndalama.,timadziwa kuti muli pamenepo kuzilemelesa nokha ndi azibale anu anthu omwe mukuwaimilirao akusauka mungoti mukufuna banzi.

  15. Despite his blundering and incompetence, I don’t support calls for his resignation. We foolish Malawians chose him whether by default or not. I can assure you even if elections are called today, he will win again, that is how foolish we Malawians are.

    Csos, you need to engage the govt in a diplomatic way avoiding too Much confrontation. After all you are talking to a stone. I still feel he has not been long enough in office to judge his performance on the economy, give him three years. Then we can start talking. There is however no harm for us not to continue to criticize any blunders he makes on good governance.

    Peter, try to invite the csos, all of them not just those that support you, sometimes they need attention so that their grievances are heard and considered. They want yo be seen to be important, don’t we all? For once be a stone that responded. Change of behavior is crucial, Peter.

    Parliament or mps please do your job if you think this rotten govt has gone too far. I know your salaries are always paid in time, never delayed while the rest of the civil service cries.

  18. The losers always cry like babies ….. wait for 2024 maybe devil wanna smile on you . for its DPP and the Professor period .

  19. Oh really 36% is a majority now???? These people have no shame, they lie between their teeth. Viola plz just get fucked with Mathanyula in your rear end and shut up!!!!

  20. 36% means 64% rejected him outright. This means he is not a legitimate president and is not even rocket science but a crystal clear thing for one to understand. only in Malawi you can call such a person a president elected by the majority. Maybe I’m yet to be schooled as to what majority means.

  21. Apetala Nga Simu Uza Mtundu Wamalawi Mowwe Mudabela Mavoti Zinthu Zikuvutani Kwambiri, Ambendela Mumalila Chiyani? Tikudziwa Chimali Chisoni Kuba Ndikoyipa,mwabela Munthu Wa Mulungu ,kumbukilani Mulungu Amamvela Atumiki Ake ,monga Adamvela Yoswa ,adalamula Kutidzuwa Li Yime Ndipo Zinathekadi

  22. Kulibe civil society ku Malawi. Zonsezi ndi mbava. Uyu Mayaya, Sembereka ndi Undule anaba ndayamba ku HRCC zoposa K100 million. Ngati mukufuna kudziwa zambiri, funsani Badwin Chiyamwaka, yemwe anali mkulu wa HRCC. Ndalamazo simunabweze ndiye pano muli yaviyavi president apange resign, zoona? Inuyo, when are you resigning? Ngati mukufuna ntchito, mungopempha muja anachitira Mayaya mwina akuganizirani.

  23. He is President of Lomwes who vote for him. He won by 36% all by rigging by the Chilima cha munda. He is not President of the whole country because the other 63.999999% does not believe he is legit
    The President cannot even be on USA TV with even a journalist. That means this lomwe speaking cheap and foolish person is not recognized.
    Kalyati welcoming him to the US. KIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIK>

  24. Mtambo and friends are sick political lay sponsored by political failures who think can ho into govt thru back door again mukhaula u WL kill no one again
    Can these CSO guys answer the following questions;
    Where r proceeds from our own jet sold by Uri lovely sister
    Which govt made donors to stop 40% budget aid to Malawi coz of cash gate
    When z Uri sister coming to Malawi for cashgate witness n case
    When the economy went yo the dogs during pp govt when did u tell Joyce to resign

    Why did ur friend sembereka failed a parliamentary seat in mangochi when he represent interests of pipo
    Tasankhani mmodzi mwanu akhale President poti mwati peter achoke

  25. A Viola, 36% ndi majority? Sukulu inakuvutani eti? Bwampini wanuyo anakusankhirani umbulowo, kapena chani? Machende ako ndi Mutharika wakoyo.

  26. I want to challenge all Malawians to check what these CSO leaders have achieved in their personal lives. You will find that they have achieved literally nothing. These are people who have failed to manage their families. And here they come ng’we ng’we ng’we! making noise about national affairs. Good thing is that I know most of you personally. Enanu mwayamba kuidziwa tooth brush chifukwa cha timabungwe tomweti.

  27. APM oye Apita sendera tichoke mmboma,Viyola/voola ukunamatu iwetu ambuyako akadzachoka udzaona polekera tell him the truth 36% against 74% who can win, game one wina alira.

  28. Are there any alternative solutions apart from donor inputs? why have countries which are not resource rich like Tanzania and Kenya doing well?? They have very resourceful and entreprenerial people and similar cultural inclinations for seeking prosperity like ALL Asian countries. But Malawi? laziness and big mouths basi. wasting time in public rallies, demonstrating,posing like intellectuals and obtaining dubious doctotrates of no value but personal aggrandizement etc. whilst the rest of the world is striving 24/7 to create wealth and economic development. case closed. if you want to know the problem in Malawi my friends, please pick up a very clean and well polished mirror and look into it. yesss, my fellow citizens, what you see reflecting in that mirror is the problem in Malawi. I ahve also done the same.

  29. As the fight against cashgate is going into advanced stages this is expected. It is sad that some people and groups of people can sink so low to divert governments attention from tackling the very cause of the misery we are now in. It is sad that the people we trust as our activists can feign ignorance that we are suffering now because of cashgate or they benefited from it in a way

  30. Kodi a Malawi munakhala bwanji? Bwana APM chikhalile pa udindo achita zitukuko zochuluka ndipo asintha zinthu: Atangowina anakwatila patadutsa zaka 30 akumangomeny ijayo. Anasankha alangizi ochuluka kuposa mtsogoleli wina aliyense mu mbili ya Malawi. Pa vallentine anawaphsyophsona [kiss] a first lady kutipatsa chitsanzo chabwino. Anatenga anthu oposa 100 ku America.a first lady anayambitsa BEAM ndipo nkutenga ndalama ku NAC. Kodi chitukuko chipose pamenepa?

  31. All those calling for Mutharika to step down are cowards. Please let APM run the affairs of government. This is a president who was elected by Malawans and not CSO.Wait for 2019 when elections will be held.That’s what the constitution of Malawi sayssays.
    Don’t mislead Malawians.The solution doesn’t lie on stepping down . Inu ngati muli ndi alternative solutions bring them forth and stop ngwe ngwe ngwe wanuyuo

  32. ZOBERA ZILIBE TSOGOLO IWE NYAPHAPHI-MBUZI YAMANO KUNSI.UMUFUNSE MBWIYAKO MBENDERA NAYE ANGOBA KU MEC.TIKUCHOTSA UKHAULA.AKAKHALA MSENA VIOLA-IYEYU NDIYE MAWA LOMWELI TICHITA NAYE KANTHU

  33. Peter is going nowhere. Even if we can vote today, he will win again. A performer he is. But he MUST STOP coming to rallys and meetings late. This problem of coming to functions late is worsening.

  34. The problem when you are not supported by the majority of Malawians. 36% with 64% means you are not supported by the majority, DEMONSTRATION is the way to kick the pig out

  35. I think he can’t resign because afterall, he has been doing charity work having already been a filthy rich millionaire relocating from the States, kkkkkk.

    Advice to Bwana Peter Mutharika: people no longer want your charity work because they can do a better job without you.You are worsening the already sad and volatile situation.You are not a good captain of the ship.You are a wishful thinker but not a true performer.Your 36% that made you ascend to power has been reduced with reserve exponent.You deserve to be among the elite since you declared your richness and therefore need not serve the “Whiners” as you call them, because these whiners are yearning for true leadership with a passion to serve and not to rip them off.Your arrogance is a catalyst for civil disobedience and therefore we don’t want people’s lives to be in danger if the situation would degenerate into chaos, you will be better off washing your hands not to be part of it hence the need for your resignation.It seems you are confusing the two words “serve” and “rule”.You seem to be too obsessed with the word rule instead of serve; this explains your dictatorial approaches when concerned people question your integrity.A dictator will never say “sorry” when things go wrong because of misjudgment, but be reminded that in a democracy, critical voices have their own inevitable place in it.

  36. MULTIPARTY IS REALLY EXPENSIVE. WE RELY ON DONORS TO FUND ELECTIONS AND AFTER ELECTIONS THE DONORS RUN AWAY. WHAT’S THEIR MOTIVE?

  37. Kodi kamene akuti Kaviolaka ndiye kati? kamachokera kuti? kanaphunzira kuti? kamapemphera mpingo wanji? kamagwira ntchito kuti? kanakwatira kuti? kali ndi ana angati? Ndikufuna nditakawona pamaso kuti kodi ndikotani…Poor Viola plz stop this rubbish immediately otherwise you wil die before your life span

  38. Kodi ma CSO yanu ndi achoke achoke basi? Come up with something useful that will make a difference because changing president is not a solution

  39. Power hungry ???? it will take Malawi nowhere. Achakwera, abusa dekhani dikirani mavoti. Ulendo wa Ku USa ndiye wakupwetekani tu. Leave it forget it life must go on nyimbo imodzi sachezera.

  40. Malawi has been a peaceful country for many years. we hear about wars from other countries. we have never experienced war situation. our country is already the poorest in the world. donors have stopped helping us. Who has come up with the solution? would we say asking for the present to resign is the solution? who would come up with magic? It should be someone from the CSO leadership because they have seen the problem and they know the solution. Don’t look for the solution from someone else because you will ask him to step down when he fails. You The CSO have the solution. Come in and lead the country.
    PLEASE CSO DON’T PROVOKE SOMETHING IN THIS PEACEFUL COUNTRY. READ THE CONSTITUTION AND SHOW US WHERE IT SAYS WHEN THE PRESIDENT FAILS HE HAS TO RESIGN. You should be the first to respect the constitution and wait the president’s term to finish

  41. We want real malawian leader who knows our problems that we had before previous election.In fact those people voted the current leader could not vote him if they had know that things will be such.Therefore beware.

  42. Viola, if u tell the President the needful things now, he will go alone, but if u wait for mob action u may without doubt also go. Muthalika has America, what do u have?

  43. Apange resign Apm?.. chofukwa waononga 300 millio?..munali kuti inu amabungwe ndege itagulisidwa?…kapena nonse munachoka??

  44. A Peter step down. Time up before its too late. U uttered that rich what u want in Malawi. Haha haha.viola watch out yr tongue. You are not clever ok

  45. Malawian CSOs, a useless group obsessed with trivia and gay rights. Which Malawians are you representing?

  46. Oh! Time really changes. Viola standing out full of innuendoes on us? Dont buy cheap popularity from president. Where the hell did u see NGOs takingover presidency? Until now u stil dont know the duties and responsibilities of NGOs? Musamati mwadala madzi adakayenda.

  47. Maluzi akutumula amenewo, amayesa kuti naye APM azipanga cashgate nkumawaponyela ngati momwe amapangira abiti.

  48. u sco dont cal 4 rsgnation but rather start teln wrong voters from south- who r hangly now who wil make a gud leader.VOTE 4 a WOMAN-SALIF WOOO

  49. Mr viola.mukuonatu vuto longotola munthu ku MBC ndikumpasa mpando wofalisa nkhani.aviola tapangana political calculation,ngati anasakhidwa ndi 35 percent ,nanga 65 percent sanga yime. Pachulu,kodi mukuganiza kuti 35 yo idakalibe choncho mulibe mantha kuti mwina panopa ili pa 10 percent.

  50. When the seat gets hotter hotter and hotter he APM will resign or burn and die. It’s a matter of time

  51. Dzuka malawi dzuka. Tichape nkamwa tiyankhule zo mveka munthu uyu ndi mbava yachabechabe. Abwelere kwawo he doesn,t deserve to be a malawian.

  52. Viola if you enjoying sucking APM’S ass becareful wamva you gona die for nothing. Remember banja la mutharika ndilotembeleledwa dadi. This time this is not going to die naturally like his brother but by viorance. He taking LIKE ALL MALAWIANS ARE RATS NOT HUMANS. This time we will pull the Trigger.

  53. This is nonsence CSO’S GO & START YOUR OWN PARTY PLIZ DO NOT STRESS OUR PRESIDENT.WE KNW VERY WELL THAT OUR MALAWI IS POOREST COUNTRY.
    IF YOU SAY PETER MUST RESIGN.
    1.INU MUZAKHALA NDI NDALAMA WANUWANU.
    PAMENE MUZABASO NDALAZONSE M’BOMA.

  54. Mr. Viola again taking criticisms meant for president as yours…Mr Viola, to be spokesperson doesnt mean demeaning the message before getting it to the destination but rather taking true message from the source without distorting it and get it to the rightful destination. Are you now personally shielding the one you are reprisenting? I wish Malawi had no people of this kind the Violas, the Dausis who personally shield the people whom they are representing and deliberately allow the truth to die natural cause…why choosing to tell Malawians lies yet you know that what these people are saying is true? Look at the economic problems, unemployment rate and other hardships that Malawians are going through and you are saying all is well? are yiu a believer? why raping the truth at expense of safeguarding your position? Mukakwera mumtengo msamati pansi mame palibe one day you will find us here waiting for you Mr. Viola. You were a great man before involved in these politics koma pano, learn from other people like Former Malawi IG Mr. Kumbambe amene amadziwa their job discriptions not just working for the sake of working and please someone but according to ur job description…

  55. useless self appointed csos Mutharika aint going anywhere. Tell us what Mayaya, Kwataine, Trapence, etc
    have done for Malawi apart from the useless noise they always make? Idiots!

  56. There is no reason to resign.Let them stand for another Election that’s when Peter Mutharika will resign if at all they are voted into power which I 500% doubt can happen. It’s too early to ask Peter to Resign.Kusowa zochita anthu enawa.Akazawapatsa udindo mboma muzawawona ziiiiiiiii ndichikhalidwe chawo tikuwaziwa ife awa.Theme of Deception.

  57. Jb, which God are you insinuating? If you just want to hear about death on our presidents then the same God can embarrass you by demising you first so that you should not witness what Malawi is about to achieve through those presidents. Mind you every president is elected by God to fulfil the specific task. Kamuzu was to liberate and take us to independence, Muluzi was to lead us to multiparty,democracy & clear the way for Bingu, Bingu was there to imancipate and instill in us the spirit of independence and hard working, Joice Banda was there to bridge the gap between the Mutharikas while Peter is to perfect where the previous DPP went wrong and continue with Bingu’s legacy. That is the observation from levelheaded, a true friend to mother Malawi.

  58. Hon. Viola have abandon his Malawians today just for the sake of defending his boss. Its is a shame. Malawians are suffering and Hon. Viola knows. The number of Malawians going out of the country is growing. Malawians are running away to other countries to look for food, clothes, jobs and education. All this, because of people like Hon. Viola who clap hands when their leader is busy killing own people. Let me remind Hon. Viola that people are dying in hospitals because of lack of drugs. Mr President has failed and must just resign. The mandate what Hon. Viola is talking about don’t work to people who are jobless, hungry and poor. Malawi is the poorest in the world because of its people. They don’t care even their leaders steal from them, or even they are oppressed by the same leaders they trust. As Hon. Viola have said that our President can’t resign, so what next Hon. Viola?

  59. Viola with the way people are dying in our hospitals, you will be lucky if you will have anyone left to vote for you in 2019. listen to yourself 36% you think thus majority? Your mathematics is bad viola. I think thus the lowest any president has ever been erected in Malawi. To me 36% it should tell you viola of how low Malawians thought of him then. Do you think if we can vote today he will get that 36%? He will be lucky if he can get 15%. Viola keep quiet and eat the money while you can, but everybody pays in the end.

  60. Analikukuti, analigonkhwiro, atombolombo ma activists nonse mulibe mphavu zouza president to resign atokunyengani wakutumaniyo. Find another episode t bring on stage osati mabi anu mukunenawo. Mukuona ngati mumuphanso ngati bingu? Ana anjoka

  61. Kuganiza mwa chiTumbuka basi,yakukanikani federalism ndiye mwayamba zolanda BOMA MWAUPANDU…MUNYA MUWONA

  62. KAMUZU RRFUSED TO RESIGN

    MULUZI REFUSED TO RESIGN

    BINGU REFUSED TO RESIGN

    JOYCE BANDA ????????

    PETER IS REFUSING TO RESIGN

    KOMA ZILIKO LIKO !!

  63. Regime change by demonstrations? Are you really sure? Who will take over then? Does Malawi have enough money for another election? No donor will waste uts money sponsoring another election before its time. Will CSOs then take over? Really? Will there be peace in Malawi after that? Really? I would humbly suggest that you think these matters through very carefully. Do u think the DPP supporters will not take to the streets when CSOs take power? U want a revolution like Libya? What has happenned in Libya after the revolution? Pure chaos? Revolution and governance are 2 mutually exclusive things my friends. As they say in England, let sleeping dogs lie
    Or cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war!

  64. The Activists should work on organising a vote of no comfidence.Because for now,no one wants ths Muthalika to continue running the country

  65. It not only through the ballot that people can speak their minds Mr Viola. There is a voice in protests, demonstrations and they speak louder. Already people are silently protesting. Go around and chat with people in towns and village and you will appreciate all is not rosy. If I were Viola I would not blindfold the president with some sweet talk. That is what destroyed Muthalika and he collapsed when someone told him the reality on the ground. This is the time the president needs to face the reality and resigning would salvage some honour for him. Malawi is on fire

  66. When the seat becomes hot, it will not need someone to advise the president to quit. Leave him time will naturally come if he fails to watch his shadow. No one is indispensable.

  67. Viola, Musa, Patricia Kaliati, Chaponda, Chiyembekeza, Fabiano and the rest from Peter’s home should put Malawi and God at heart not just themselves through the president. The president may not resign, but the national performance, especially the economy, is resigning. You guys may go along with it. I am saying this as one of your clansmen. Mark my words.

  68. I thought he resigned sometime back. What is he doing? I can’t notice there is a president in this country. All I see is ceremonial mulakho king wandering aimlessly all over the place and abroad while squandering our taxes and shattering all our dreams as we had as a nation.

  69. Chigawenga chimenechi chofunika the local malawians the army and the police must riseup burn tyres all the way to state hous kukachimenyelakonko IWE VOWOLA UVULALA ZAENI WHO IS PITA AFTER ALL.HE MUST GO BACK TO WHERE HE BELONG TO HE’S NOT AMALAWIAN THE PIPO VOTED FOR HIM AND THE PIPO WANT HIM OUT BCOZ HE IS ABAD LEADER.THE ARMY MUST CONTROL GOVERNMENT WAITING FOR ELECTION OF THE NEW PRESIDENT IF ANYTHING WE’LL BURN NTHATA VILLAGE.U CAN’T LEAD MALAWI U R VERY SILLY PERSON pitala NKHOPE NGATI CHODZUKAKUMANDA

  70. If the so called Spokesman does not have points to say, he should have remained silent. Is 36% majority? To me, it is more of minority than majority because it shows that 64% of Malawians did not vote for the president. School me if am wrong.

  71. The only solution to make Muntharika is WAR. We should start war, Malawi has never experience war thats why Muntharika is taking Malawians stupid. He said he is rich, why did you come back Mtchona? Wamakani sachedwa kupita. Where is your brother?

  72. NKHAKAMIRA ATIMALIZA BASI. We better point A 9 mm in his mouth and same time he will shit in his trouser and surrender out of the state house. IDIOT

  73. Viola Viola Viola…why do you people become insane when you hold those positions? Have you forgotten us Malawians. Your responses are simply inciting us to rise against this dunderhead called Mutharika who cannot think rationally now. We have all the means to get rid of you guys. The same right you gave us to vote on the ballot is the same we can use on protests if we want him out. You think if we start unconditional demonstrations from civil society, government, private sector and every corner which has been highly paralysed by this dreaming government, then we can fail. Watch out your excited responses. You will believe when Malawians get you out Viola and your president. You were supposed to give rational and not these rubbish responses I read here! I am one of those who voted you in and I am angry at your stupid responses. Ndakwera MCP pano. Zitsiru!!!!Nyoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Mbuzi za anthu

  74. Koma bwana musayiwale anthu amenewa amamuvutisa chonchi Muluzi atangosankha chakufwa chihana kukhala 2nd vice anali ziii, think twice

  75. The General Assembly press conference was a huge disaster. The Viola’s and Bamusi’s of this world better engage in damage control rather than waste time with issuing statements which are only adding salt to injury. Is Bright Malopa the communication strategist sleeping on the job or he is becoming frustrated as well?

  76. Ngati a Malawi sakukufunani mukukakamila bwanji udindo. Pajatu munabela ma vote remember! Go!Go we dont want you.

  77. dull viola,if the president resigns saulos chilima will be acting president until next elections,is that clear?? you are so sick minded

  79. He is already rich as for him he wants only to help Malawians. Now from the look of things not many Malawians are keen to receive his help. So why not go and enjoy his millions

  80. Dunderhead Mutharika will never willingly resign, we Malawians have to make him resign by demonstrations because MCP and others in opposition are not carrying out their duties in parliament.
    Dunderhead Mutharika is happy to carry on looting and thieving and receiving bribes and commissions from his Indian.
    Lets pray that the pain and suffering we feel is also felt in the barracks and that our men in the barracks rise up against dunderhead Mutharika and collect him to drop him off at Zomba Central.
