‘Plot to arrest’ Chilima after Malawi VP threatens to reveal more rot in DPP administration
The ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) are pushing for the arrest of their new bitter political competition, Vice-President Saulosi Chilima who has launched his United Transformation Movement (UTM) ahead of next year’s watershed elections, Nyasa Times understands.
Reliable sources privy to the plot say the DPP strategists working with deputy police chief Duncan Mwapasa, are convinced that the arrest on trumped up charges would severely weaken Chilima.
Head of Criminal Investigations Department (CID), Stain Chaima, who is deputy commissioner of police has prepared a dummy docket and is consulting with the DPP strategist on the matter.
Chaima has been meeting Vilera Liwonde an investigator at Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) to compare notes on the docket so that charges can be slapped on on allegations of corruption.
But the crime buster refused to comment when contacted.
UTM spokesman Chidanti Malunga, MP said they have been tipped of the plot to arrest Chilima on “ trumped up charges” politically motivated.
He said the idea is to get the Vice-President in Police cell and the regime could then administer a poison with intent to inflict grievous bodily harm to Chilima.
Chilima, who has been accusing the DPP–led government of perpetuating corruption and saying his movement is ready to usher in the change Malawi needs, is on record to have denied t been involved in corruption, but hinted at an attempt to smear his name by his political rivals.
The Vice-President also hit back at critics who have accused him of sitting and watching corruption since 2014.
On the contrary, he said he took several steps to prevent certain corrupt dealings including discussions with his boss, President Peter Mutharika.
Chilima has not only been speaking on corruption after launching UTM, he has been openly talking about it even before he resigned from DPP.
While he was still in DPP, Chilima gave a public lecture to students at Chancellor College’s Department of Philosophy titled ‘Addressing Moral Decadence: Towards an Effective Compliance and Ethic Programme’ in which he said Malawi will continue to pay huge economic costs of moral decadence unless citizens work together towards transformation.
Chilima observed that moral decay, including corruption, accelerates conflict between ethics and the law in all sectors of the economy.
“Adherence to ethical standards or moral conduct is the norm not the exception. But despite this full realisation, we still find ourselves caught in this trap such that these malpractices take the shape of normalcy and become a way of life.
“Individuals that are appointed to hold senior positions of influence eventually lose control over the organisations they represent because they are obsessed with external attachments.” he said.
Threats of arrest comes at a time when Chilima has warned that he will soon spill the beans about shady deals the current administration is allegedly involved in, including in the procurement of Escom generators.
He said UTM was formed to clear the mess created by the current administration which continues to plunder public resources when the majority of the citizenry were living in abject poverty.

DPP. Try or Kill only Hope VP Chilima Malawi adzayaka Moto as nafe tizabweza . Ndipo tiza. Yamba mbuyanu uja kutii Nanu mumve nyatwa.
My advise for those responsible for his security . DPP will try to poison Chilima through food. Water even bottled and sealed water can be contaminated with poison. Selected food and water at meetings or hotel could pose a risk of VP being poisoned.
DPP Team A ndiimene yaononga President ndi Chipani. Opportunists oti ndi ndale zomwe saziwa. They cheated the President to push away veteran DPP politicians who always stood with the party and the mutharikas in times of problems so that they can be close themselves. This is the problem we now see. Jeffrey, nankhumwa, mchacha, msaka, goodal, mhango and their like are the culprits.
We will set the country ablaze indeed. don’t dare to arrest Chilima because you are afraid that he will reveal your corrupt activities. We will be hitting DPP one by one until we finish you up. pliz we don’t want fighting. But you dpp idiots don’t provoke peaceful Malawians
Arrest him and experience a true revolution agalu inu. We are prepared to die for this guy and not you assholes.
I have read comments on this rumour, but has anyone carefully reflected on it? Don’t u think its also a strategy by those in support of chilima to gain more sympathy that there reader will soon suffer or even killed. APM for 4 yrs now with his adminstration has no record of arresting anyone on political grounds,ask chakwera or Joyce banda. Nde u think ayambila pa chilima pa. I think this is a cooked up story by UTM supporters themselves.
TIKUDIKILIRA MUNGOYESERA YOMANGANAYO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!TISOSOLANA YAMANJA TSOPANO!!!!!!!!!! ANGONI TILI TCHERU KUNOLA MIPALIRO!!!!!!!!!!
No need to arrest him. That will make him a hero. By remaining VP in a gov he says is corrupt and serving it for four years without saying anything until he was denied candidacy in DPP, he is guilty by association. If e runs on the accusations that DPP is corrupt, he only hangs himself.
Arresting Chilima licenses him into the 2019 presidency.
ODYA ZAKE ALIBE MULANDU KOMA AMENE ANADYA ZA AMALAWI OSAUKA ABWEZE! DZUKA MALAWI DZUKA!!!!!!!
We don’t want revolts or civil unrest in this country because of some few individuals who do not understand the word multiparty and freedom of expression.We fought for multiparty while the likes of you Peter Mutharika were not in this country.And you stupid police try to arrest him(Chilima).I am not a UTM member but all i want in this country is peace to prevail.
Kaya
Duncan Mwapasa my brother, please be very careful on this. Believe people are tired
That’s why the DPP incorporated the likes of Mpinganjira who are experts in abducting people, shame to our non improving police
Ayelekeze awone chimene chinameta nkhanga mpala
God bless Chilima God bless Malawi
Muyelekeze muona takupilirani nthawi yayitali….
The time for the youth pained radicles who have always been wanting to react in revolutionize Malawi against corrupt government has finally come. We have hope in Chilima because we know is capable to end corruption that like cancer engulfs the development of Malawi. Try to arrest him and we will react. he’s is our liberator and we will together side with him.
ITS TIME FOR MALAWIANS TO WAKE UP NO MATTER WHAT!
Tangoyeselani kummanga chilima.Munya muona dziko livuta lino.Agalu a DPP
DPP don’t ever bring civil unrest in Malawi because u know u are a sinking ship….Malawi is a peaceful country.
Try to arrest Chilima inu ma cadet achina Stain Chaima ndi mzako Mwapasa.
The UTM Movement is not Chilima alone, 90% of malawians are UTM, you kill one of us, another will take his place. we have a long que of chilimas waiting. you DPP thugs are so stupid, that is why u became thugs becoz you failed to go to school and stealing is all you know.
I feel sorry for apm, how did u manage to surround yourself with such a bunch of fools I dont know and now you will down in history as the worst stupid president malawi ever had, koma mpakani making malawi the poorest country in the world sha mani.
90%? muzaliratu inu.
DPP should trend carefully on this matter the people the call their strategist are not thinking as the are living in fear of being exposed as a word of advice to the president I would advise him to recruit people from outside DPP inner circle
What is the crime ????? Just try to arrest him this country will be on fire🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Schilima long live will support you what ever they going to did like you zisiyeni mbavazo
IF MY PARTY-THE MIGHTY DPP PLANS TO ARREST VICE PRESIDENT CHILIMA, JUST KNOW OF THE FOLLOWING IMPLICATIONS:
(A) You will render credence to what SKC has said that the DPP is a corrupt party. You will also render credence to the masses that you plan to rig the upcoming elections and you have been at the center of killing people.
(B) You will embolden the UTM strategy team based in BOTSWANA THAT HAS COLLECTED ENOUGH EVIDENCE ON ALL CORRUPTION DEALS YOU HAVE BEEN DOING IN EVERY SECTOR OF THE ECONOMY;
(C) ONCE THE UTM STRATEGY TEAM STARTS SHARING THE PIECES OF EVIDENCE WITH THE GLOBAL WORLD, YOU WILL HURT THE COUNTRY IN MANY WAYS;
(D) YOU WILL PUT THE COUNTRY ON FIRE WHICH YOU WILL BE UNABLE TO CONTAIN.
Am I surprised at DPP tactics? No, I am not. That is expected of DPP thugs masquerading as politicians. Not long ago these DPP brutes held a press conference telling the nation that they had submitted a CCTV footage to ACB implicating JB as the beneficiary of Lutepo’s cashgate loot. To this day, ACB is still waiting for the footage and Malawian would want to know what happened to it. Chilima is cut from a different cloth from JB. If you were able to scare JB, don’t think you could do the same to Chilima.
The DPP thugs are dead scared. Most of them including the Thief-in-Chief at state house know that prison will be their retirement home if Chilima is elected president. We have not forgotten how this thief tried to overstate his assets upon assuming the presidency. The idea was after looting the nation he would then declare the true values of his assets. The increase wouldn’t be alarming to attract an investigation.
Let’s save Chilima. CSOs organise an imprompt street protest right now!!! Killing Chilima is killing the Malawian dream.
Don’t delay. Don’t snooze! Street protests demanding the resignation of Mutharika right now!
Spending time in jail seems to be a prerequisite to taking the highest office on the land. Politics by nature is very very dirty. What is the point in having the word “politics” if the game isn’t dirty.
Typical of DPP THUGS, isn’t it?
Arresting the VP will not work and is the worst thing DPP can do. In fact, It really shows that you have ran out of ideas because I see nobody in DPP capable of responding to statements made at the launch of UTM
A DPP ndiye mwagwa nayotu pamenepa
HAHAHA zayamba kukuopsanitu, osamuopseza Chilima if your hands are clean why don’t you just let him spill the beans and you will clear your name, but if you are really want to arrest him that means mkutiberdi misonkho yathu ,
Dausi tayankhulatu zayamba kuvutita kuchipinda eti kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk , musamuopseze Chilima munaba nokha A Dausi munasauka inu kumayenda wapasi kuchoka ku limbe kufika ku kolokosa pano kuchita kusintha ma benzi misonkho ya athu osauka, athu a DPP opanda manyazi ndi momwe athu akunzuzikira .
Arresting the Vice President at this point in time will be the worst crime the DPP Government will make. Arresting Chilima will cause huge chaos in the country. If this is true, it is ill timed.
Let Pitala be the first to be arrested otherwise dziko liyaka liminelo. Muonanso wina cardiac arrest is on the offing
Expect blood loss just by arresting the VIP and even loss in the general elections,what do you fear a dpp?mwayamba kale kunjenjemera mutangomva kuti chilima abwera lero
