Rev Baloyi ‘surprised’ with court cancelling Tippex elections
Former moderator of Livingstonia CCAP Synod, one of the Commissioners for Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC), Reverend Clifford Baloyi o told Parliament’s Public Appointments Committee (PAC) at the end of an inquiry to assess the competence of the electoral body that the widespread use of the correctional fluid, Tippex, did not affect the valid vote in the 21 May Presidential Elections.
Baloyi totally disagreed a Constitutional Court ruling which said that the irregularities and anomalies had been so widespread, systematic and grave that the integrity of the results had been seriously compromised..
“The elections were free and fair and the use of tippex did not affect the results,” said Baloyi.
“ I was very surprised with the Constitutional Court judgement on 3 February which nullified the 21 May presidential elections results saying MEC did not manage the elections properly. I was very surprised because we as MEC we run a satisfactory, free and fair elections”, Baloyi said.
During the hearing, Baloyi confirmed that some ballot papers were printed locally but was not aware who printed the ballot papers
The inquiry follows a February 3 2020 order of a five-judge panel of the High Court of Malawi sitting as the Constitutional Court that nullified the May 21 2019 presidential election over irregularities and mandated Parliament to assess the commissioners’ competences.
Commissioners Yahaya M’madi, Moffat Banda, Linda Kunje and Jean Mathanga already appeared before the committee at Parliament Building in Lilongwe. They followed in the footsteps of Mary Nkosi and Elvey Mtafu.
Embattled MEC chairperson Jane Ansaha, judge of the Malawi Supreme Court of Appeal, also appeared before the committee.
On Monday, the hearing was stopped for a few minutes due to misunderstanding that erupted between PAC members as some wanted the committee to come up with a verdict on last week’s hearing before interviewing Baloyi.
Definitely not suitable as MEC Commissioner. What kind of Reverend is this man who expresses no remorse for theft of Malawians votes through Tip-Ex.. This born again Reverend happily goes on the pulpit to preach to all and sundry about the suffering of Malawians as a result of mismanagement of the country’s scarce financial resources.
Kagwereni uko a reverend. Just quietly enjoy your ill-gotten benefits.

Which planet was he?
So it is true that not everyone who calls on the name of Jesus is a true follower of Christ, koma pa tsiku lomaliza kuzakhala zinthu. they call themselves many christian names and yet they are not. Koma Bible anakonza…. it says that on that day they will say Lord Lord did we not preach in your name?….. and he will say to them “get away from me for I do not know you workers of iniquity” mayeeee judgement start from here on this earth. Ma commissioners nonse amene mumazitcha ma Rev, Bishop, Apostle or whatever please for the sake of your souls Repent before you face your maker one of these days, there is still a chance while you are alive you can make your ways straight. money corrupted your souls but God is forgiving, do so before it’s too late, do not harden your hearts like pharaoh did – I rest my case
Looks llike he didnt know about the court case
This thing!!!
This Rev is a DPP suporter from the early days of Bingu wa mtharika and we still remember he mess up at Embangweni, loudon mission because of his behaviour backing the Dpp govt. Akagwere uko ndi Dpp yake ndipo ndi munthu mmodzi omwenso akuononga mbiri za mpingo anthu oterewa. Pitani konko mukakhadzikike ku chipani kwanuko
It is not surprising, either the poor and lost Reverend Baloyi is so incompetent just like the other commissioners that he cannot even do self appreciation of the level of his incompetence himself or he neither followed the court hearing nor read the final Court judgement. These Commissioners should have been fired long time ago.
kkkkkkk anapangana kusanace
Koma Azibusa, kaya ma Bishop , kaya ma Patstor, kaya a Postole , kaya ma Reverend so and so, you have really let us down men and women of God!.
Reverand Baloyi, Reverand Mgawa, Bishop Nkosi, Pastor Jane Ansah men and women of God i see u..eeeeeee now i 100% believe that fake reverands/pastors trully exist. Indeed satan & his agents exist in this world
Hearing a Reverend accusing judges of incorrect verdict, shows there are many skeletons in the MEC. This is shameful, the money really exchanged hands it seems. The commissioners don’t seem impartial
Rev. Baloyi is a genius. No doubt about that.
That’s his opinion, we can possibly all have different options, what has the north to do , that’s being tribalistic, which is not good at all.lets comment sensibly than offending regions they come from. Don’t forget we are all sinners before God,
when we talk about regions I see how man is uncivilized . A lot is happening around us beyond that deep rooted idiotic regionalistic thinking which we need to break out of. We have intermarried a lot and resettled from one region to the other. It is high time, we unite as a nation.
Poor minded politicians, time will laugh at you. It is clear that greed is at the center of most of you guys, but
remember you are digging curses for your future loins generations.
These are silent truths which are only reversed by your right attitude towards people. Because God expects you as leaders to love your people but HYNAS IN SHEEPS CLOTHES. God will not toralate.
Baloyi or Muloyi?
Mfitidi yeniyeni.
It is very clear most people who put on a white collar and claim to be Rev are actually deep down their hearts firthy ATHEISTS. He is not only lying under the earthly legal Oath he’s also fooling himself before the Almighty God.
Reverand, you sold your soul to the devil. Repent before God decides to take you out of this world for ignoring the wish of the Malawian people.
Baloyi
Ndele yakufikapo
I hope your eyes dont heal
Die a blind man
My Rev CM Baloyi
A disgrace for the north.
Muloyi should be his name
What is this about not affecting the outcome? If you drive a car with non functional brakes from Thyolo to Mulanje without an accident is it ok because it did not affect the outcome? MEC ndi chigalimoto chopanda mabulekesi kuchilekelera chitiphulitsa ngozi pa dziko pano ndithu
What a dull man
Aise Baloyi, wachitika uli mwanangwa
One word “incompetence”
Fire all these commissioners please.
There is nothing that is left for Malawi. MEC had many people who call themselves Reverends, Bishops and Pastors, but their conduct lives a lot to be desired. If the so called men and women of God can not be trusted, who are we going to trust in this country?
kkkkkkkk ndiye tikumangomva kuti koma abusa a chakwera ndiye angakonze zinthu how can this be true if his fellow pastors are blamed for mismanaging the elections? malawi ameneyo
KHADETI
Very stupid man. At first the commission didn’t know where the tippex came from and now they say it didn’t affect the vote, then who provided the tippex?
He’s a cadet.
As a commissioner you can’t know where the ballot papers were printed?Why were those ballot papers printed locally then?These commissioners are really playing with us.
Bravo Reverend BALOYI YOU ARE REALLY A MAN OF GOD UNLIKE SELF IMPOSED REVERND CHAKWERA BLOOD THIRSTY MAN WHO CLAIMS TO BE REVERND BUY A THUG
…………who procured new ballot papers printed locally and for what? What a Reverend?
Mary nkosi cut a frustrated figure indeed. Everybody disagree with her
How do you get a company to print ballot papers and not know it’s name? That’s something someone at the top of the hierarchy is supposed to know. You are a joke Baloyi and probably a fake pastor. Vuto si inu, you are just incompetent nkuwona you think the elections were satisfactory
@Don
Another MEC thug lying under Oath,.
Muloyi, mfiti busa should charged for perjury. These thugs masquerading as MEC commissioners do not only lack integrity they are blatant liars and thieves. How can a commissioner worth his salt fail to know a basi thing like a company hired to print ballot papers? This is beyond incompetence, it’s criminal and these things should be jailed.
Kutisithira ma figure nde mudzit zidaenda bwino .????that’s nonsense Rev Baloyi….chicken’s brain thinking…..no P.O signatures, madando not fully attended etc n u call it free n fair election. …….MEC crooks
Bwana Reverend, with due respect, you are not fir for the task for commissioner. You accept having ballot papers being printed locally and you do not know who did the job, that is to say, you do not know who authorized for the printing. Shame, misonkho yathu ikungopita pachabe. A Reverend, simunagwire ntchito yanu pa chisankho cha 21 May 2019. Mpake mukudabwa ndi chigamulo cha KHOTI. Bwana Ansah wanena kale za tippex, nanganso inu nkhani yanu’yi kutsutsana ndi bwana wanu????????
Ansah had honestly agreed on Tippex so This rev is just talking nonsense
The sentiments by Baloyi only emphasizes how incompetent the commissioners are. I did not really know what criteria was used to appoint these commissioners who seemingly do not even have the capacity to follow a simple explanation as professionally yet openly explained by the esteemed judges.
Baloyi in my view seems t fall short of any professional and logical understanding of what they were supposed to have been doing
Rev. Baloyi, what do you preach at your church about GOD if the constitutional law [earthly law] forbids the use of Tippex and you are against that law you fail to abide by the earthly law, do you afford to preach to your congregants about observing the laws of GOD to not break any. You are a shame to the nation of Malawi.
WOKUMWA MADZI WOMETERA
This raises questions about the calibre of the appointing authority?
Matthew 7: 14 – The entrance to the internal life is very narrow.
