Mutharika’s UN General Assembly attendance in limbo
President Peter Mutharika is set to cancel his attendance to this year’s United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in the United States of America (USA) amid political tension as a result of the disputed May 21 polls.
Security sources are said to have advised Mutharika ‘not to leave the country’ anytime soon as tension is still high.
“Mutharika will cancel attending this year’s UNGA, instead Foreign Affairs Minister Francis Kasaila will represent him. He cannot afford to leave the country, it is very risky,” said a government official in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Other sources said Mutharika is reacting to an intelligence reports that other people planned to block him from returning to Malawi from UNGA until the elections case was resolved.
“He is not taking risks. He is not going to UNGA this year. Even his Vice President Everton Chimulirenji is staying put,” insisted the aide.
Insiders said Mutharika was given the same security advice when he skipped an important USA-Africa Investment summit in Mozambique, just a few days after his controversial May 21 elections win. He sent his Vice President Chimulirenji to represent him instead.
“This plan of forcing Mutharika to stay out of the country is real and looks like it has some blessings of some military bosses and Mutharika is aware that anything can happen and that is why he is not taking any chances,” said a high placed military source.
There was no official response from presidential press secretary Mgeme Kalirani on the matter.
Lately President Mutharika has been running scared seeking comfort of heavily armed military personnel and changing to ‘safer routes’ especially when he is entering the volatile capital city Lilongwe.
Mutharika has been on record that he ‘does not fear anyone’ but has locked himself in highly secured State Houses in Mangochi, Blantyre and Lilongwe since elections.
Mwati anyamuka litilo ndiye
yes dziko satenga ndi nkhondo koma ballot
Kodi who cheated you that APM is a cowar?. Koma mulira zoona as you try to dream of taking the country’s leadership lawlessly. Mutulusa bloody tears. Ubig salimbila. Musova.
A president who chooses to be protected by ma kasinja is a big coward, afraid of weaponless people he is supposed to rule
The president can attend the meeting , no one can overthrow him. I am very confident that the Army and Police can not allow that to happen
Let him go and you see what he is gonna get
OSANGOMWALIRA NDI BP UMUTSATILE BINGU UJA BWANJI?.SINDIKUKUWONERA KUKONDWA NSANAME ‘PETER MUTHARIKA’.I JUST PRAY FOR MUTHARIKA TO DIE SO THAT MALAWI REMAINS PEACEFUL…I ALSO ASK GENERAL NUNDWE TO HELP US TO REMOVE THAT BASTARD CALLED ‘MUTHARIKA’ HE EVEN OPRESS SOLDIERS.PLEASE MR NUNDWE REMOVE THAT BASTARD, WE ARE TIRED OF HIS CORRUPT GOVERNMENT WHICH LAYS MALAWI UNDEVELOPED AND PROMOTE SUFFERING OF MALAWIANS.
Mwasowa cholemba eti? Kodi president akukupatsani ulemutu osati kukuopani he can go anywhere in Malawi kungoti akudziwa kuti there are some foolish people who can be tempted to do foolish things and will end up being killed.
No army will attempt a coup while the legitimate president is attending to UN duties. NO WAY! That coup can not even last an hour. UN will escort the president back to Malawi and guard him while lambasting amateurish warlords, Chakwera and Chilima, at a political mass rally at their own Kabudula and Nsipe villages!
Where were the demonstrators when APM was being sworn-in and inaugurated at the fully packed Kamuzu stadium? Where were the demonstrators when APM was doing mammoth thank rallies in BT and Mangochi? Where were the demonstrators when the president was presiding over opening of parliament and 6th July activities? Where were the demonstrators when APM was opening Bwanje dam deep in opposition territory? Why didn’t you foil all these activities and you want to make us believe you can attempt to block APM landing back into this country? What a silly joke of the century!
Let him leave and you see the powers of young brigadiers.
Zavuta pa Malawi
Are you sure Malawi represented by kusaila? Aman of sex scandals.. aman wjo failed to answer questions from George kasakula… ?
I don’t understand why engineer kasaila ali ku foreign affairs… ? Munthu wopanda mzeru and skills … kasaila nde mbola ya munthu….
Wosampatsa binton kumtsaila or henry mussa bwanji? stupid DPP munya mwakhaliratu nxt month mukutuluka we are TIRED
Anakunyengerani mkazi wanu kodi Kusailayo. Iwenso ma scandal alitho koma palibe angalembe za iwe chifukwa ulibe dzina kkkkkk shame. Timalemba ma scandal a anthu odziwika kkkkk
What does he do at UN anyway? No one knows him, his country and hence no one listens to him. Just goes on holiday to see his and wast tax payers money.
He gets billions of dollars of ‘investment’ pledges to help develop Malawi.
……….
Sorry, I didn’t mean to make such a ridiculous joke!
The court case will be over while he is there and we will seal the boarders he can stay with TRUMP
He is an illegitimate president anyway. so he cant attend UNGA
A Nthondo anakuuzani kuti akuchita mantha. We dont compromise security baba. As far as security is concerned we treat anyone as a criminal. You think the president is like you? Enanso mpandowu akuufuna ndichifukwa chake nkhani zili mu khothi. Komanso kalembedwe kanu kakusonyeza kuti school ya utolankhani inavutatu baba.
He was just pretending to say that he doesn’t fear anyone in this country.
He has just shown how scared he is by being escorted by Army with 7 Kasinjas.
Malawi is not the same to Mr President, he can see it openly that majority of Malawians are not happy with his leadership . You better resign Mr president to reserve the 30% respect u still have otherwise it will come to zero which means no one will respect u Malawi.
kodi inu mumafuna president azikhala pa msika mesa all this time amakhala ku state house nde lero ali komko muli sakuoneka….nyau mentality..kamuzu samapita ku general assembly or oau meetings nde kuti amaopa? pliz zimbano get a life
Mutharika lives for UNGA; he has not missed any since he became president. If he misses it this year, it will mean that it is indeed not business as usual for DPP…who knows, this could well be APM’s last UNGA
Khwangala wamantha
Khwangwala wamantha
Is it HE the President to resolve the elections case or is it the courts to which the fake accent ex-reverend submitted their prayer which has been hijacked by Mutambo and his cronies as well as Chakwera’s zinyau?
Mbuli yamamina, ukudziwa chiyani onyela mumpoto ngati iwe.Fuck !!!!.
Kumeneko kutukwana? Sindibwezera because people will not make the difference of who is a fool between us.
Musiyeni apite ndi usual 100 convoy okaphuzila busines aja. Mxiiiiii. Stupid idiot.
Ena anali ku UK with the never ending song. Kukangoononga ndalama zathu shopping. Zinayamba kale kale bisines zake sitiziona than anthu ake kumakapanga za dama.
Shopping basitu.
Cidzete ca munthu wacikalambile.
Pita uuluke shit man
Kodi iwe ndi chigoba Cha chidzete fake accent ex-reverend kapena Cha Arafat, or both?
aliratu alira
Where does he lock himself up when there is no political tension? Amateurs need to know!
WHY CAN’T THE SPEAKER OF PARLIAMENT REPRESENT US AT UNGA INSTEAD OF THESE CROOKS / MAFIAS ??
Mbuli imadziwa chani?
