SKC to drag Malawi leader Mutharika, Muluzi to international criminal court in The Hague

Vice President Saulos Chilima has said he has instructed lawyers to file for prosecution of Malawi President Peter Mutharika and former president Bakili Muluzi before the international criminal court in The Hague over political violence and crimes against humanity.

Chilima – fervently called SKC – said this at Namadidi in Zomba on Saturday during a televised political campaign for the fresh presidential elections.

He is the running mate of Malawi Congress Party (MCP) presidential hopeful Lazarus  Chakwera in the nine party grouping called Tonse Alliance.

Chilima said  failed political leaders are perpetuating political violence to postpone the forthcoming fresh presidential election.

“I have information that among the people sponsoring violence is former president Dr Bakili Muluzi.

“He has paid people to attack me when I go to Mangochi and even kill me and one such person hired to attack me is a Mr Mtenje,” said Chilima.

Chilima said he is now going to the International Criminal Court to complain against politically motivated violence in the country.

In an interview with reporters after the rally, Chilima confirmed that he will file a case at The Hague court.

“ We are proceeding to international court of justice,” said Chilima.

During the interview, Chilima said it is time that the international court deal with President Peter Mutharika, former president Muluzi and for their alleged crimes.

Chilima said the trend of international justice was to make sure that there is no impunity for rulers or government officials.

In his address during the rally, Chilima urged  people to vote wisely in the fresh  polls and bring about genuine change.

He also appealed people not to avenge violence that has so far been seen since the campaign started.

  2. Chilima has intelligence than Peter. Ladies and gentlemen thus all i can say.Chilima has Action verbs than Peter.I rest ma case.

    1. Action verbs of a lunatic. AN empty tin that makes so much noise. He thinks the ICC has incompetent and corrupt judges.

    2. Intelligence of a lunatic. Chilima thinks ICC judges are corrupt and incompetent like Concourt and Supreme court.

    1. Which violence? Malawians themselves were telling the establishment that they needed change. If Chakwera was perpetrated any violence, your president would have used the apparatus of the law enforcement at his disposal to deal with him. As it is, he saw that Malawians themselves were not happy with. It worked. He now knows that people do not want him hence his delaying tactics in implementing court orders.

  3. Tapita ukayaluke. This man is fool of empty redundant threats. You think ICC is like the nepotistic, corrupt, basterd courts that you have been using against government here. there is no Nyirenda, Madise and Mkandawires in ICC unya uwona

  4. APM is planning to exterminate other tribes in Malawi. It is time his instructions to bomb and kill those against him is taken seriously before it is too late. A lot of lives could easily be lost on Malawi in the name of APM.

  5. Chilima is sensible he knows what he is doing. I would have loved if Malawians could change our thinking (tribal politics) come up with developmental manifestos & implement them. Remember our development will depend on the way we think(creativity).

    1. Chilima does NOT know what he is doing. The things he says and the tone of his voice shows a man who is bitter and distraught. ICC si court wamba. It’s jurisdiction does not include petty things that Chilima is talking about.

  6. Chilima, ICC has competent judges that you cannot bribe like Andrew Nyirenda, Dingiswayo Madise, Ivy Kamanga, Mike Tembo, Anacklet Chipeta, Anthony Kamanga

    1. Are you referring to the Banker who tried to bribe the judges? Last time I checked, it was your president and his party who tried to bribe judges. They failed miserably.

  7. This Chilima Dude is crazy childish. Sometimes I wonder if he really is a rt VP candidate. He is a gifted public speaker ofcourse , but men, he overrates himself. He truly believes he is the only annointed one who can solve Malawi problems. He alone, nobody else is capable of redeeming the country from its current mess.
    Why does he wonna take fellow Malawians to Hague? For what? U cant sue someone based on what u think or hearsay. There is no evidence against Peter here. Anyway, Go ahead take them to ICC. We will also take u there for Nsundwe violence. We all know u were behind it. You supported Nsundwe and Ndirande violences with every fiber in ur body. U crapped hands and congratulated them murderers. LETS MEET IN COURT DUDE!

  8. Saulosi Chilima is consuming more coccaine to fight fatigue but it’s not doing him good in the head. Trust me, he’ll soon collapse and rise no more… at the rate he’s going!

    1. It won’t work guys. Change is coming to Malawi no matter the amount of demeaning language you use towards Chilima. This guy has taken your president whom you say is brilliant at law to court, and has won. It is high time you started questioning yourselves, whether it is you who is crazy and fighting a losing battle. Killing an innocent family in Lilongwe is crime against humanity. You should know that.

  9. A chair aliza direction achita manyazi do not divide malawi iwe chair anthu ku central kuno amakuvotera bwanji sanje.mupira nazo ku hague anyamata mukuwapatsa zida adzagwidwa ndi kukuululani chenjerani atcheya mwakula pumani bwino.muli ndi milandu kale.Atha kukumangani.

  10. We know the steps for you to take them there.Hv u exhausted the procedures at your dispisposal.Dont take us for fools apo bhii u will lose my vote.Dont just say things because you hv bn given platform man aaa.Mumaxatigaetsatsobulesi bwanji

  11. Ku Hague kulibe Chief Justice Nyirenda who could hardly explain 50+1 in relation to 1999 majority interpretation by the same Supreme court.

  12. Chilima has lost his marbles. Is he the president of the alliance to make declarations as if he is the torch bearer? Chakwera was better off with Sidik Mia. Chilima is now a big liability. He is filled with so much hate, vengeance and fury over nothing. He is making the Tonse Alliance less and less popular. The majority of voters are poor people in rural areas. Such messages of intimidation, castigation and threats will only drive voters away.

    1. Why was he attacked as if he is a torch bearer? He is doing it for all Malawians. To say the fact things are not on the right track.

  13. Peter is aiming at genocide and ethnic cleansing of Chewas, Tumbukas and Ngonis. Before it is too late, the matter needs to be reported to ICC. People are being bombed in Malawi. The killings are going too far.

  14. VERY SAD such negative comments directed at the Sitting Vice President who is NOT on the BALLOT yet stupid ignorant selfish Cadets firebomb his cars, his offices, Murder a Guard his wife and child, Stone journalists in his campaign convoy HE HAS A RIGHT to be ANGRY to Protect himself. I am Angry, We all SHOULD be Angry, YOU SHOULD Angry The RIGHT to Live in PEACE, The Right to Vote is in the Constituion, WHY ARE YOU Cadets and President TRYING interfere WITH MY RIGHTS OUR RIGHTS. Chilima NOT running FOR President BUT he STILL PROTECTs the RIGHTS of all Malawians. The President Does NOT CARE he is SELFISH suggesting Supreme Court was Wrong it was a Travesty of Justice to Rule against him. President IS CREATING ANARCHY and LAWLESSNESS. Say NO TO THIS President. VOTE a NEW ERA of Government FOR THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE vote CHANGE

  15. I think SKC now knows that political violence like the one perpetrated on Apm convoy in Ndirande can happen to him as well anywhere in Malawi.

  16. I see many cadets think Chilima is childish because they know Chilima means business. If you think he is desperate or childish, let’s wait and see. You can’t be sponsoring violence and then going in front of TV with a different face like Mutharika and Atupele are doing. Malawians wake up! Change has come

    1. Mukunama Atupele ndi chilima after chakwera chilima will take over chifukwa chausiru ukuchitika panopa the youth generation is watching even in the south you cannot control youth voters I tell you chilima is a deal.when he enters govt he will be popular that he makes presidential candidates enter govt.He hrlped agogo anuwo pano chakwera aAtupele anuwo sangalowetse munthu mboma ieonso upulezident sadzaulawa.Awononga mbiri.zowinira ntundu chigawo zatha ndi 50 plus 1.Ndiye mavoti okhaliea upulezident adzawatenga kuti ku central zero ku north zero.Atupele becareful with your future.Enawa akukusapotapanowa pa forum ndi polopoganda.Akukupweteka.The truth is that iwe ndi chilima ulikutali or mutati pa upresident in 2029 awiri chilima adzakukwapula kobasi.Chilima has shown maturity humbleness and result oriented.God is on chakwera and chilima side.Only the one assisting annointed chakwera will be next president after chakwera.Chilima has national support north south and central very appealing.For you your father has cheated you that you should only rely on regional,tribe and religion devide.Let me tell you on regional divide central and north has 3.8million voters than 3million voters in the south.on tribal divide the chewas are 6 million lomwe 3.3 million yao 2.5 million also not some of the yaos about half million are from central region and the others in other districts in the south not mangochi and machinga only.on religion divide there are 2.5 muslims against 14 to 15 million christians and nonchristians in the country. Atupele ndi a Chair your strategy has no place in malawi.Ghe only strategy that is visble is that of Chakwera embracing all political parties from all regions and tribes.Tonse alliance is Malawi lomwe ,chewa ,tumbuka, sena ,ngoni ,ngonde ,nyachusa ,tonga ,nyanja etc.This is how malawi should be one malawi malawi wa tonse osati zanuzo a DPP ndi UDF.Chakwera next sixth president as prophesized by Senior Prophet Austine Liabunya in September 2014.Amen

  17. Chilima is crazy and needs urgent mental help. ICC is not like the ConCourt or Supreme court of incompetent which Chilima and CHakwera bribed.

  18. Chilima ndi wanzeru kwambiri amaposa Muluzi,Peter Munthalika and Atupele, Fertilizer atsika kuchoka pa K23000 to K4495 that’s great. Sizowona kulima one acre munthu zoona azigwiritsa mpaka K45000 pa 2 bags of fertilizer only, bad leadership, instead of using that amount to buy atleast 8 to 10 bags, atleast a farmer can have 4 to 5 acres instead of just one acre.How can we end poverty and hunger in our country?I will vote for Tonse alliance,the world has more people who needs food,If Malawi can harvest more that can feed itself and surplus maize can be exported to make extra money, that is prosperity.Osati Za a DPP and UDF alliance tizingosauka,even tili ndimphamvu zoti nkuthesera umphawi wathu.Munthalika ayi watitopesa.

    1. Chicken mathematics. At K4595 fertileser will be too cheap for reach people who will buy in bulk and cause scarcity. This is why TONSE alliance is completely losing direction

      1. The World market price of Urea is $235 per metric tonne or about k8,600 per 50kg bag by using the FISP money that is no longer working the NEW Government buying in bulk distribute through Admarc will assist more people to ensure food security. To DO NOTHING or NOT LOOK at Options in changing FISP Malawi will continue to fall behind….All Governments Must Invest in their People to promote prosperity for all…… A NEW ERA of Government For the People by the People Moving Malawi FORWARD.

    2. Nzeru za nkhuk u who told you that farmers are failing to produce maize only because of fertilizer. Reducing the price won’t help. Even FISP is useless. It needs a more comprehensive approach. If you can reduce from 23000 to four thousand you might as well just subsidize the actual maize because it’s guaranteed he gets so many bags

  19. Chilima is destroying the TONSE alliance with these declarations. It seems the alliance knows it is going to lose the election that’s why there is so much petty speeches.

  20. Chilima is a liability to the alliance. At this rate, I think MCP would have been better to go it alone, I cringe every time I hear this man talk this kind of rubbish. What happened to the message of prosecuting people who acquired wealth through dubious means, sending real criminals to jail. Those messages resonated with people rather than these silly utterances that just show that you have run out of ideas.

    Some people have already mentioned here that the ICC have more important issues to deal with rather than some perceived threat to some unknown pompous Vice President of an unknown impoverished country.

    Get a grip Chilima, campaign on issues, don’t bother people with you cry baby utterances. These are own goals you are scoring.

    1. Abiti Cashgate Joyce Banda akudyera nawo mbale imodzi ya TONSE alliance so he can’t talk abou mbava anymore.

    2. It’s not a perceived threat when 3 people died in Lilongwe. Perhaps you would prefer bakili killing thousands first for it to be a real threat. Don’t be stupid

  21. Chilima, you don’t have friends and relatives sitting as judges at the International Criminal Court (ICC). The judges at the Hague have serious cases to deal with. By the way, they cannot be bribed. They are competent in themselves and they would not be listening to counsel or write rulings from the diktats of Ralph Kasambara or Joyce Banda’s husband, Richard Banda.

  22. Chilima must be taken to a mental hospital for treatmem. Crime against humanity, over my dead body. Eleven months ago we’ve seen him perpetrating violence against Malawians through demonstrations. If theres someone to be taken to ICC is him hrdc and chakwera.

  23. Totally agree with SKC. Violence should not be tolerated. They are not satisfied with LOCAL NYEKHWE, let them see INTERNATIONAL NYEKHWE.

    And, who lied to the Muluzi’s and Mutharika’s that they are the only smart families who can run Malawi?

    1. @#BetterMW get the facts right here your zeze is very confused, when the presidential convoy was stoned in Ndirande you celebrated when the president was blocked in LL forcing him to use the bypass you celebrated, when Atupele was stoned in Salima it was good news on social media. When some pple in Msundwe decided to support dpp they have been victimised willy nilly but none of your leaders has spoken against all this vices.

      Now when the dpp decides to fight back you’re branding it at as violent party. Tikamati nkhonya yobwenzela kuwawa timanena zimenezi. Ngati mukuganiza kuti mutenga boma thru violence as your president once said (he is ready to shed blood) the expect violence to be the rule of law in Malawi

    2. Hehe maloto. They will start with Imedis case. Zopusa. Ukadya kokayina. Nkhani zake ndi zimenezo

  24. Cut the crap Chilima and brace it with the politics. The ICC deal with substantive issues not lame cases like yours. Too shallow that this supposedly clever dude can be so childish and useless.

  25. Kuntha ma plan. You think Hague judges are like Malawi judges. Umaona ngati u president amangotola. Wayamba kuyiwelenga patali ya MCP. The praise you get from Chakwele is cosmetic. Chakwela knows how power hungry you are just as he is. Atabwali sametana!!!

  26. Kupenga chiyani fodya akupwetekani ulendo Uno muluza sizinaonekenso zipani 9 kuwunjikana mbali imodzi kukimbana ndi zipani ziwiri mphamvu mulibe mwayamba za ma khoti vote siyinaponyedwe mulira simunati.

  27. Bakili plotting to kill Chilima? Why didnt he plot to kill real political heavy weights like John Tembo and Gwanda Chakuamba? Chilima must be sent to a mental hospital

  28. This is the most stupid allegation I have ever heard. MCP is destroying CHILIMA’s thinking capacity. He is now thinking in the same way like the Mkakaz and Msungamaz not to mention the Msundwe barracks

  29. I didnt know that Chilima could be this dull. In the first place, dragging the 2 to the international court, does he mean that he has no faith in our judiciary? I think after his failed 2019 presidential bid, Chilima has gone crazy. The guy is not thinking properly

  30. This chilima he is a fool….not just a fool but stupid who doesn’t use brain……kolila kwambili paja sikachedwa kung’ambika…..ufunse adzako….keep that nonsense of yours…….am just saying…..

  31. What should be known is that the opposition has never organised acts of violence. Rather, the people the government has been oppressing for quite a long time are taking the law into their own hands because they feel their voices are not being heard. Every Malawian of good will knows that. However these panga welding thugs and what has happened in Phalombe and torching of the UTM office in Lilongwe which killed an innocent family is the work of DPP. We can talk about the absence of proof or evidence but it is clear who carried out those acts. The lack of investigations and the language whether verbal or non verbal coming from Munthalika is a clear message to his foot soldiers that they can continue perpetrating these acts. A president with all the apparatus of law enforcement at his disposal would have already brought the situation under control. He should be very careful because after being booted out he will want to go outside Malawi and if this situation continues, we the people of Malawi will report him to authorities outside the country. He should ask his friend Mussa. This my fellow Malawians is not an empty threat.

    1. So you didn’t hear Chakwera telling MCP members to chase people from the southern region. You didn’t Chakwera create Nsundwe Boys who destroyed police cars and killed a police man. For one year you have not seen MCP, UTM and HRDC thugs damage businesses and buildings. You didn’t see TONSE alliance thugs stone president Mutharika’s convoy in Ndirande.

      1. Don’t be ignorant amwene. Chakwera told the people to apprehend the perps. Do you know what the word apprehend means?

      2. Share the videos, audios and press statements. Chakwera never did that you are accusing him of.

  32. I support you fully. I already notified the ICC that APM is killing his own people. APM is already a wanted crimal. It is time ICC issue an arrest warrant for APM. He is going to retire in Hague.

  33. Bakili Muluzi and Peter Muthalika are typical failed readers.

    MULUZI had 10 years to rule Malawi and he failed the task. his Leadership was charectorised by institutionalised corruption, political violence towards chiefs and opposition parties, killing of people to get privates parts for rituals.

    MUTHALIKA. had 5 years to rule Malawi, and same like Bakili failed the task. same as Bakili, his leadership is full of institutionalised corruption, same as bakili his govt is spearheading political violence, same as bakili, muthalika’s govt is killing albino for rituals…

    failures never finds peace seeing someone showing signs of success, all they want is to hold malawi backwards just to hide their failures. Muluzi is even bringing forward his Son hoping that the son will correct what he failed.

  34. Kod waiwala kale nthawi yomwei kut ndiwe umasogolera ziwawa……kuphwanya ndi kuononga katundu wa eni kubisalira ku mademo……..nde apa wayamba kulira……?????

  35. Start the discussion…when APM was stoned in ndirande you celebrated. Now when you receive the same treatment you cry like a baby. Grow up please.

  36. Chilima do not display your ignorance in public after having been paid in your own currency. The ICC your talking about has very important international cases to take care of. There is no need for them to waste their resources on an individual who chose to practice politics like he owns the country and its citizens. That court will intervene on issues affecting proper human livelihood dangers and not on petty, frivolous shenanigans by a misplaced Arafat Hamdan.

    I earlier pointed out that the moment you begin to act, portray, dress, talk, instigate militancy your followers also followed suite. Who was going about telling people during your useless demonstrations, “Osaopa”, was that not you Bwana? If you try to be heavy handed, others will do likewise because nobody is indispensable.

    Instead of going to the ICC start by exhausting the local legal institutions first; and by the way international organisations of such a magnitude have representation in most countries who observe and report on their behalf. If there is anything wrong they will take it before one Saulos Chilima goes to knock on their door seeking help. Actually, it should have been you and your group who ICC would have dealt with during your looting of property, torching people’s houses and wounding innocent Malawians. Don’t play clever and try to turn the tables, please.

  37. Hahaaaahaa sorry mr chilima dont think that internatiol court is filled with my fellow tumbuka judges where by you were able to bribe them. Munayambisa zipolowe ndinu nomwe ndipo mwakhala mkuononga ma business ambiri mbiri nde pano mwayamba kumakana kuti sindinu eti? Fuck off!!!

  38. This is a temperamentally confused amaturistic politician who is politically bankrupt. You were party to the violence in 11 months that saw property and goods worthy K 65bn damaged and robed respectively. Two policemen lost their lives with one instantly and the other later at hospital and scores of many left injured. You are on the Vedio clips shown encouraging and leading people with your “osaopa” slogan to march and cause violence. All these are evidence directly against you, enough for counter procecution against you and Chakwera. You will know that ICC does not work on piece meals when it comes to criminal cases. They will demand evidence from the time violence started since from the time of demonstrations until now and you, Chakwera and HRDC deemed as perpetrators of violence won’t be spared. Go ahead with plans to go and see “Nyekhwe” there! Kkkk.

  39. Bwana finance minister, its amazing how your crowds are getting smaller every day. Just accept you have lost, your party is in tatters. How does your failure to work with your boss apm qualify for crime against humanity? Your bad pride and temperament have cost you the presidency dear sir.

  40. For which atrocities?? Akulu utsogoleri wanu udzakhala wotani??? Mukuganiza kuti muzingowina milandu yonse??? Be ashamed!!!

  41. SKC ndi kape, very disparate for power forgetting that he has performed miserably as a VP

  42. Now the real perps of violence will go before the court. Atupele has been trying to fake an innocent picture as if they are innocent

  43. ndiyacidziwikile azayankha awa. nde munaona mmene zimakhala? shameful.
    asieni.
    saonatu kuti umaenda ndi convoy.
    WATCH IT

    PSA KOKA

  44. Childish, son of a bitch chilima, you and your MCP cohorts orchestrated violence since May 2019, you started the fight, see it to the end no baby-cry…

  45. Kutha ma plan why waste time eith Muluzi? Koma ma Court nde munawanvetsatu? You think ICC is headed by Justice Nyirenda eti

  46. Chilima, not necessary to do that, it’s not worth the time and resources that you want to invest in it, these dinosaurs are packing and for good; either by vote or by natural invitations.

  47. Nzeru za zeze. Chamba ndichoopsya. Lekani kusuta. Ukufuna tiluyitanilenso Zainab badawi wa BBC azakufuse mafuso Kachale a?

  48. Kkkkkkkkk koma Chilima ndiye kaya komadi game yakukulira tangokakhala pansi bwanji. Iwe ndi HRDC komanso MCP sindiye mwaphwanya zinthu kuno ku Lilongwe ndi ku mpoto nanunso tikutengerani ku Hague becoz even the international community knows very well that during ur demos ppo have been victimised their property stolen and damaged do u think ppo are happy with that? And DPP had its demos but no single person, property was attacked. SHAME SHAME SHAME SHAME on you SKC ndi Lazaro wakoyo wayiwonatu game umayesa yophweka uyidziwa town tsopano umati utani! kukula mtima sikuthandiza wawa!
