Mutharika woos civil servants, spoils them at Kamuzu Palace
President Peter Mutharika on Thursday took the 2019 election campaign to new heights when he hosted civil servants at Kamuzu Palace in Lilongwe for luncheon and promised them instant promotions.
First Lady Gertrude Mutharika initially invited the civil servants for lunch but later on Mutharika appeared to meet the unsuspecting civil servants.
Mutharika then ordered chief secretary to the Office of the President and Cabinet Lloyd Muhara to immediately lift a ban on promotions, saying the civil servants deserve promotion because they work hard.
“My desire is to see each one of you, every civil servant to own a house,” said Mutharika.
He said the government will put in place a housing scheme which would allow the civil servants own houses of their own and ordered Muhara to immediately implement the scheme.
He paid tribute to all civil servants be it messengers, drivers, cleaners, middle and top civil servants for working hard, saying most times they work odd and extra hours without any extra pay.
Mutharika said he has accomplished all what he wanted to in the last four years because of the civil servants.
The ruling party Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) officials selected civil servants deemed party supporters amid fears that only DPP civil servants would be promoted if at all the promotions would come

This is the parable of all politicians especially those who want to remain in office/power for a life time.They offer so many incentives then take it back in taxes. Many go against God’s will for the nation and forgetting that you and I are outing here contemplating that one day our son/daughter/grandchild/neighbor will be the next leader to some day take the country forward and not 10 times backwards. Anyway it is our God who puts up leaders and bring them down also.Just give the people what they rightly deserve and stop using the rightfully benefits as campaign gimmick to gain or stay in power. You can fool the people sometimes but not all the time as one day they will wake up but I hope when it is not too late. Let my people go.Too many power hungry leaders out there feeding off the people souls all you need to stop it and stop it now.Many go to prophets to get blessings from the Lord and also sangomas to get the tricks up their sleeves. Two unlike forces wont and cant work as God is and always is greater.
Gulu Lina la vitsilu ndiye aphunzitsi, I believe they allow government machinery to abuse them and can’t claim what belong to them. Though I’ve generalized in here, but I feel pity for them.
Malawians please tisama ombele m’manja zinthu xopusa, nthawi yoseyi analikut.
When I see your face,I see a thief. A very big and merciless thief. K145m
Mimba ya mkuluyu akadangochotsa ntheradi. Munthu wachabechabe. Ukufuna the poor servants lero? Anthu angovala kaunjika. Kaletu ku capitol hill kumafika stagecoach buses. Lero kabaza ndi bongos. Kale kunali emergency advance, car advance and furniture advance. CO amakhala mu area 18 and Chitawira. Pano civil servant angokhalira kuba, kusugula Mafuta mpaka ma PS, ma director etc. Mufera limodzi ndi Alamu Pumbwa Mwakalamba.
So, instead of going to Capital Hill and telling everybody in the face about the nonsense you are talking about, you decide to invite Ana Adad to the Palace for a #PoliceFoodRation share. #TimeWillTell.
enjoy the lunch but vote this idiot out if u smart enough hes still the same guy that refuted your 66% salary increase to 10% you civil servants
Problem is that the majority of civil servants, the low paid ones, were not at the party. You won’t get their vote.
Kkkkkkkkkkk I agree with you, instead he has just made them angry.
For four solid years it never crossed your mind about houses for the civil servants because the OPC in conjunction with the ministry of Home Affairs have been constructing staff houses for the police. All of them are no longer commuting from rent houses what a feat! The truth is that these grand achievements including such capital projects are matchless in our history. No lip service what a pragmatic leader who combines words with deeds. A visionary leader who talks about JB cashgate not a word on K145m pioneer investments pie coaxing civil servants into voting for DPP by reintroducing promotion holding them hostage it is their contractual entitlement tepid offer!
Mutharika is a new word for corruption in Malawi.
Ma civil servants ndiye akubawo because they are lowly paid. The number of civil servants for a country the size of Malawi is just too bloated…..they’re unproductive and inefficient. The message to them should have been that they work hard and at least be in the office for 8 hours a days doing what they’re employed to do. Why are you praying them, Mr President, for work well done……what work? You’re really promoting mediocrity; is it because you’re also mediocre?
heheh nthawi yakutherani mufuna muzigula anthu ndi zakudya ndi mowa?shamee..kazipakirani kumeneko ngati kulichoti muzanyamule
That’s part of motivation for workers they feel valued.I salute you Mr President!
It’s too late wat was he doing past 4years ? When its winter you remember where u lost your jacket
Civil servants working extra hours without pay???? where??? People report for duties at 10.00am and go for lunch break at 11:30 and come back at 14.00hrs and knock of at 15:00hrs. Most of these people are paid for doing nothing. One day you should visit government offices and see what I mean but also see that condition in which they are. It is not a Civil Service one can be proud of.
walemphera iwe basi kapume uzipita ku america kwanuko
This is just one more aspect of DPP corruption – an attempt to buy votes in the 2019 elections. It won’t work Mr President. These civil servants have already seen through you. They will enjoy your food and hospitality and then vote for another party. This kind of ‘electioneering’ shows how desperate you are.
Komadi GOGO uyu does not know how govt system works, how can you instruct your lomwe chief secretary to uplift ban on promotions and implement the same on few selected party civil servants? Do you know the implications of such a thing. 2018/2019 budget was already passed, where will the money for the promotions come from? Kapena mukatenga personal moneys zili muma account ena muli nawo mukubera a Malawi zija. Uyudi sim mMalawi alamu ake anatiuza.
Such desperate &/ reactional acts of pleasing different constituencies of people are typical signs of transactional type of leadership. As opposed to a transformational who is often resolute, level-headed, plans ahead, confident and is in full control of situations.
Awa si izi, ‘utsiku atsalote kuti Chakwera/ SKC/JB awina u president’ mawa lake ndi phuma; beer-bash yama student ku Sanjika, ayitana ma civil servants, akaponya mwala ku Mzimba, akatsegulira ma toilets ku Thyolo, etc.
He is simply not on top of issues. He only looks strong ndi corruption favours.
SHAME!!!
Total rubbish. The laziest bunch of bones in the world. Kampeni yangokuvutani a nkhalamba inu.
munali kuti kale kuti mkweze anthu pa zintchito zawo?mwaona mavoti akuyandikira?ndalama zake muzitenga kuti poti k145,000,000.00 munatenga kale ndinu…..anthu akuwachotsa ziberekero ku queens chifukwa kulibe makhwala inu mutaba ndalama….mbamva inu.
I voted DPP in 2014 hoping that they will do what they promised, but after 4 years in power am not sure what APM is doing. out of the votes you were supposed to get in 2019, you must take away one, because I am not giving my vote to DPP again, not under APM.
Remember alipo amayi a Peter m’boma, these are women who instead of working they go and dance for the president and they are paid for that. There also a bambo a Peter m’boma. Those who are at the centre of corruption and the one who facilitated the arson at Ministry of Agriculture in Lilongwe.
Mr PRESIDENT, CIVIL SERVANTS DONT NEED A LOAN TO BUILD A HOUSE, THEY STEAL. IN FACT OUT OF ALL SALARIED EMPLOYEES, ITS ONLY CIVIL SERVANTS THAT BUILD HOUSES WITHOUT ANY FORM OF LOANS
Your finance minister insulted civil servants saying in the civil service they deserve slavery wages. So unless civil servants are foolish they gonna buy your ideas. Please dont need civil servant when they want to support you. Do you know the basic salary of a graduate civil servant? What about messenger of mulonda. Civil servants are receiving less than MK 100 000. What can a person do with that amount. If you say you value them then it is a mockery. Working without extra pay is slavery which was banned several years ago.
The people who were invited were of course DPP supporters. And why were they invited by the first lady? So there was a ban on promotion? This country has gone worse under this nutty professor than any other president. We thought him and his wife all being professors will be on top of things.
ONLY IF THAT COMES TO PASS THAT MAY BE AN AWESOME GESTURE EVER BEFORE
Civil servants kkkkk, servant to the ruling parties, you have no saying, you are just used like rags by the politicians. paja mumadya limodzi ndalama za cashgate.
WE WILL GET THOSE PROMOTIONS BUT WE ARE NOT STUPID!
ALL THIS TIME WHERE WERE YOU?
VOTE ILIMUMTIMA BASI.
CHILIMA WOYEE!
CHAKWERA WOYEE!
Wamkulu wapenga nthawi yumuthera. Tikumana pa 21 May

Civil servants ‘goes’ to work yemweyo.
The problem is that these apumbwas, mbavas are so corrupt including their brains and blood that they religiously believe that Malawians are so dull that they can be muzzled around the way they want. Wait and you will see. JB was there. She still can not believe what happened.
why should you give houses to civil servants. they don’t work and are the laziest pple in Malawi. they don’t deserve anything. cheap politics Peter Mutharka. your advisors are PHDs. they are making you fall. t=don’t trust anyone a president, not even your wife. chonde chonde anthu akukupusitsa
wopusa ndiweyo civil servant akupanga izizo as a survival strategy on hardships he encounters
Mr president your time is not gone….it has just started…….this is amazing and now you have my vote……..if this can be implemented before elections there is no way you will win with less but it shall be a landslide victory…..you just awakened those who lost trust in politicians…….great decision making…….We all know the truth ; what politicians say or promise during campaign is just political propaganda……..mere romance to woo us into falling for them and break our hearts afterwards. But you are on the driving seat and we are sure of every word you are going to say………keep them rolling sir!!!!!!
you are about to go mr president. sindikuwona dela lochokela mavoti anu bwana
And then he says creating a million jobs is impossible when he can waste taxpayers money on useless luncheons.
hehehehe your time is gone
brain washing again the poor. koma nde ndlama zomwaza kumwazaso
Accidental President makes yet another accidental decision. Standard 8 politics. Losing the plot. You don’t say it, you simply do it if you want to win political favours. Pita mukumupepeletsa….
Heee if there are a group of people who have mess this country then its civil servants,1 they are lazy 2 they are cashgate masters
Maloto a dzulo awa…….not worth cherishing…….I wish i was able to draw a catoon to show the president the type of of mansons Malawian Civil Servants own…..they are the largest of Malawis population who have built palaces in the country…..
