Nyekhwe! DPP Central region governor Kambalame arrested 

July 2, 2020 Alfred Chauwa -Nyasa Times 69 Comments

Central Region governor for the erstwhile ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), David Kambalame has been arrested on charges of causing grievous body harm  when he assaulted  Malawi Congress Party (MCP) secretary general Elsenhower Mkaka when he was in opposition.

The allegations are that prior to the June 23 fresh presidential election, Kambalame roughed up Mkaka when the MCP secretary general was investigating reports that some people had gone to his constituency to collect the voter IDs.

It is reported that the DPP cadets , who were buying the IDs,  were not arrested despite that the  Malawi Police had witnessed the incident.

Kambalame is being held at Lilongwe Police Station.

Earlier  in the week, DPP Councillor for Bangwe Nthandizi ward, Isaac Jomo Osman, also known as Mtopwa 1, was also arrested and charged with malicious damage and theft allegations.

Mtopwa 1 has since been released on court bail

  6. This is typical witch hunting.MCP ssizasinta ndithu kkk.Mmesa Kainja ngwa MCP,so galu khwiyaa ,zotumidwa kuti akugwira bwino ntchito yake kkk,
    Kuli mavuto kuMalawi kuno kkk.Change ija ndiimeneyii.How many people have suffered in the hands of the MCP? even pa ma elections apapa Lilongwe Nyau dancers have terrorised DPP monitors.This is coming following Chilima’s barbaric hateful campaign against people from DPP and the Southerners.A gift Trapence ayamba kunya manyi amowa kumati atumiza invoice kwa Atupele???Bwinotu bwino osatulutsa diso pazomwe mapeto ake simukuwaona.Maso amaphulika poyerayera.

    1. Man mulandu sumawola ayi this guy should have been arrested nthawi yomweyo,just like Jomo ,koma chifukwa chipani chani Cha DPP chinkapanga promote violence and impunity,that’s why they were let scot free.Police is just doing their job apa kumanga onse olakwira lamulo palibenso ya tsankho,just justice

        3. Only those who committed the crimes/only criminals.,,if you are innocent/free/did not commit any crime so don’t worry..

    4. Inu ngati munapita ku school siyinakuthandizeni, inangokuchotsani umbuli osati uchitsiru. Which MCP are you talking about???? Ya a Dausi, Bakili Muluzi, Henry Mussa, Hetherwick Ntaba yomwe pano ndi DPP. Move with times a crime is a crime even after 100 years. MCP ya a Chakwera is very clean, thats why it has more support on the ground than DPP. You were relying on rigging and Jane Ansah type of MEC Chair, mwagwa nayo. mention one name in current MCP leadership who worked with Kamuzu. Pansi pa mtima you know last year Chakwera won even without 50+1. Mumati MCP yakupha kuyiwala ankaphawo ali ku DPP, simunati mukanalira.

      1. Yes, their rigging failed this time!!! They were exposed before they could carry out their plan..thats why no new registrations were allowed…but why so bitter…the people have chosen sibasi…

  7. My prayer is that the UDF and DPP should die forever.Zipani zatsankho, kuba moyipa and ukamberembere. Indeed they shall die and go twelve feet under.

    2. Here comes the one party system promoters. Just because you don’t like the party doesn’t mean others should not have a choice of choosing it. We are a democratic country.

  8. Chitukuko sicibwera kuno ngati Manna tsiku limodzi ai.

    1. And that Mmwenya Who Raped a Young Girl in Mpingwe Must be Brought to Book…Zangayambe kuyiwalika …LIMBE PoLice…

    2. I hope cashgate, Joyce Banda plane will be next huh, otherwise it will start to look like political witchhunt

  10. Why r u arresting DPP members only? Is that part of ur promises to develop Malawi? We r still waiting for electric trains

    1. And WAWA you are next to be arrested . DPP cadets have been a nuisance for too long. Now that your great grand father was scandalously defeated at the polls, you will dance to the music

    3. Note that it is not the Chakwere/Chilima government that is arresting these DPP criminals but the complainants have gone to police to re-open the cases for action because when these cases were reported to police at the time that they happened the police did nothing about it. Similarly in Blantyre Ntopwa 1 has been arrested (although given bail) this time after the complainant wanted justice to be seen as no action was taken at the time the crime was committed because the criminals were being protected by the DPP. The police could not arrest these criminals because Dausi had instructed them not to. These DPP diehards were busy assaulting people thinking they would be untouchables for ever. We want all those who committed crimes to be prosecuted and the majority of these are DPP followers. DO NOT FEEL SORRY FOR THEM, LET THE LAW TAKE ITS COURSE.

      1. Ehhhhhhhh the worst government ever!!!!! Terrorists and bullies…i got to the poimt where i was prepared to leave my country, to settle elsewhere coz there was no future, the country belonged to about 20 people only…but now i see hope

    7. This is so because its the DPP members only that causes havoc in the past 6 years thinking they are above the law and untouchable,so they MUST account for their barbaric actions,PERIOD

    8. They are DDP members and they acted against the law. It is their time to face it. The DPP protected them at that time. We are waiting to see Dausi locked up as well for sending thugs to burn a voter warehouse.

    9. akymangidwa a DPP akatonyasa makhalidwe kuyambila tate wao. mmalo molongosola boma timabwerera ku THANGATA kumaenda coseta tikaona a DPP .kulephera kulankhula. ndipo ndi ana omwe akudziwa.
      boma losasa la mphutsi.

      KENAKO KU MA EMBASSY.ZIYAMBIKE.
      BEN BOTOLO HAS THE FILE AND I MEAN IT

    10. because its DPP members only who committed the crimes you muppet. If they committed crime the should face the law. This attitude of abusing power when in govt should be stopped. they should be made an example of.

  11. This is a very good development, everyone who broke the law must face it to the full. I am particularly looking forward to the Cadets and Police who assaulted/ raped girls in Msundwe. No room for impunity.

    2. One of the Criminals mentioned in this Story actually Beat Up a Lady on the Election Day …Unfortunately because he is a Gang Leader …People in his Community Fear him So much …Olo apolisiwo wakhala akuwamenya makofi ….I don’t know Why DPP wants to be Associated with this Criminal….

  13. We know it that Nyasatimes is for sides and it is anti-DPP but pro UTMCP. People should not lie to the rest to cause criminality under the party which they belonged. There are many at the bank to be arrested and this is just exodus. We know well that they are some people who frequently travel to Blantyre for basically their sister in law using bank’s residence in Blantyre cheating the wife’s twin sister here in Lilongwe that there is a lot of work at reserve bank in blantyre. All these will be surfaced and just wait, Be bail out or Jailed Tonse Alliance will work on it and no matter people talk any language.

    1. Meaningless comment from you Kashma. It is difficult to understand what you are trying to communicate as even your English is below acceptable standards.

    2. These are thugs honestly, its time for payback, muona nyekhwe dont think u were smart or clever, Police service is back to bite all those nasty thugs

  14. These arrests are great! They show that impunity does not pay. If the current govt does some of the stupid things DPP used to do, then I expect the next regime to fully investigate and punish the perpetrators of such evil deeds. That way, everyone will learn that it does not pay to break laws. So let’s not discourage such acts. They’re needed by us all.

    1. No my dear,but rather,thugs need to be locked up in the cooler before real development starts,because they may end up destroying everything KKKKKKK,the long arm of the law is finally catching up with all wrong doers kkkkkkk

  16. David Kambalame is the most notorious criminal and these kinds of people need to be locked up. It is wrong for any ruling political party to go on the spree of terrorizing Malawians because we disagree with their policies. Respect cannot be demanded but you earn it through your deeds. The DPP and UDF in their administration have been using violence through the militia groups. I hope MCP, UTM, and Tonse Alliance won’t use brutal method to impose something that the nation don’t want. Listen to Malawians because they are the ones who put you in power. All the DPP and UDF thugs need to be locked up because if we let them wonder out there; they will still maraude like unleashed dogs thinking they are still under DPP and UDF that let them rape, kill, steal, and or do all sorts of criminal activities. I warn the MCP, UTM and Tonse Alliance to thread very careful. Don’t do want Kamuzu Banda was doing to stay in power. Malawians are tired being chained since independent of their motherland, Malawi. Aluta Continuaaaaaa, Malawians.

  18. Mulira muwona ana anjoka yinu ma cadets
    ntchito kuba ndalama zamisonkho ndi ambuya anu anja.

  19. mcp should realise arresting dpp politicians is not beneficial in the long term. For a little while this will be popular with the masses but soon soon these arrests will go out of hand. Everyone knows how mcp’s muwalo qumayo and focus gwede together with British officer John savage started small but later expanded their political persecutions. Opposition will rally around these kind of arrests and mcp will be seen as a party full of atrocities which has not changed one bit.

    1. It is the police who are arresting them for outstanding crimes they committed while in government. I am happy with these arrests and if the MCP guys misbehave then them too will be arrested at an opportune time. Why should we Malawians be victims of political efulefus and hoodlums just simply because they are in government? This should serve as a warning to those in Tonse alliance that you misbehave you pay at an opportune time.
      We also want those behind the murder of the area 24 bombing victims in the dock asap.

  21. you will waste time with such nosense intead of working on your promises. Learn from Ben Phiri when he was abducted and beaten by Lemani he forgave him and move on. Even me should I encouter Nkaka he deserves my slap

    1. arresting people is the duty of police, they are working. you will not see Dr Laz or SKC arresting people, they have no time for that, it’s not their duty either, so everyone is doing his job.

      2. Just like you said after Bingu death. Remember the euphoria, soon masses realise when the policies implemented started hitting them hard. Remember you have taken over in midst of pandemic and pending economic crisis, yet you are busy with arrests, dismantling fisp. Instead of cushioning the businesses to the impending economic crisis. Time will tell

    3. Who can vote a party full of nepotism and corruption back in government? If you failed to win while in government do you really think that you can win again while in opposition? Soon we will start getting back the money you stole from poor Malawians.

      1. Who ever thought atrocious MCP for 31 years could come back. Very possible DPP can come back if they reengineer themselves. This will also depend on how MCP performs.

    4. ife tikubweza pano, this is just day 4 for Tonse Allaince, dont even start talking of 2025, u will be smoked out by that time time, DPP will completely dead never again to taste power in malawi
