Speaker Msowoya to join Chilima Movement after dumping MCP: Decries ‘corruption, nepotism and cronyism’

Speaker Richard Msowoya who has  resigned from main opposition Malawi Congress Party (MCP) will be joining the much-touted Chilima Movement which is campaigning for transformation leadership and change to be led by  Vice-President Saulos Chilima, Nyasa Times understands.

Msowoya will be joining the Chilima Movement

Msowoya presented his resignation letter to MCP president Lazarus Chakwera to quit the party that ushered him into office as legislator for Karonga Nyungwe in 2014, and also as Speaker of the National Assembly.

“Intolerance to divergent and objective opinion that also is not in tandem with  the current political environment has taken root, breeding a form of tyranny that is dangerous for Malawi.

“I do not believe that the MCP in its present state represents the ideals of its founders in the quest to bring about development to the people of Malawi,” Msowoya told reporters.

Just like Chilima, Msowoya decried rampant corruption, nepotism and cronyism in the government.

He said with transformation leadership, Malawi  has the potential to attain self–sufficiency in areas such as food security, quality health, education and infrastructure development.

Msowoya said he will serve as an independent member for the remainder of the term and called on Malawians to work towards rebranding, rebuilding and repositioning the country.

He is destined to join the Chilima Movement with a number of legislators and  MCP members.

  1. Its too late.Most Malawians vote for party identity.Most youth in Malawi are just for moral support yet they don’t vote

  2. This is a fine looking Dude!!!!! that suit is well tailored man, fits perfectly, can Malawian men learn how to buy nice, well tailored, well fitting suits like Mr Msowoya pleeeeease

  3. Msowoya asatinyase MCP sifuna athu alebwedelebwede komanso aulesi ngati akufuna apite ku Chilima Movement kumene pulesident wawo amadziwa miyambi basi komanso enafe sitimamudziwa anali kuti thawi yonseyi .Come may 2019 MCP boma basi who Richard Msowoya after all? Bravo MCP ,bravo Chakwera ,bravo Mia bravo, Mkandawire Harry BOMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Msowoya amakonda ku opposition

  4. This so called Chilima movement now of people who disgruntled. People who can see corruption too late that they could not speak the time it happened. It’s for people want others to speak for them. Go well Mr Msowoya. Some load needs offloading as we move forward!!!

  5. Which movement now is he joining?The one who rigged our election and victory now he wants to become an angel after making us suffer

  6. In fact msowoya was fired long time ago possibility 2 years ago. There was no need for him to call for press conference, go well with your bad luck my brother. May be MCP can find peace. MCP do not entertain greedy people like msowoya the 4 billiongate, the tractorgate, the cashgate, the speakergate, thieves always speak same language, go and joint your fellow thieves. Malawians wake up, we should not be taken away with this so called chillima. These chilima movement are graduate s of DPP the plunders .They are coming to us like angels. For instance, masangwi the chasowa murder, kaliati the cashgater in bingu administration. Any time acb will be on her nake. Their leader chilima himself ,the chief 2014 votesgate. Guys don’t give them shinning faces they are contaminated with DPP blue blood. They are all crooks kkkkkkkklll

  7. This mathafacka thinks he commands a large following, hahaha,fuck that. He knows he will lose in his constituency that’s y he says he will not run for a parliamentary seat these coming fucking elections. People in his constituency know he is a fucked up guy who was bought by dpp mathafackaz to bring chaos in MCP,the mathafackaz lost the battle and now he says he is leaving, you ain’t leaving nigga you dying politically. Even chilima can’t make you running mate, I gave MCP about 260 thousand fucking votes in the North, that’s a mathafucking peanuts that chilima can’t take being a guy who thinks strategically. Indeed Malawi needs transformative leaders, you just ain’t one of them, Peter ain’t fucking one of them, Chakwera is a 50-50 mathafacka coz the mathafacka doesn’t have good experience and he is with a bad mathafacka, Mia. Chilima is a good mathafacka, a transformative leader but he fucking doesn’t have the platform to fucking be a president of this mathafacking country. So whateva shit comes, as Malawians we better vote for one of these mathafacka C mathafacka, Chakwera or Chilima as president bcoz they are lesser evil than the Dpp mathafackaz.we just need to show these dpp mathafackaz that if shit reaches a certain level we do give a fuck.

  8. Truth be told, this is a movement of failed politicians. Msowoya could not have ditched MCP and say whatever he has said if he was considered as a running mate to Chakwera, Kaliati and others could not have been saying whatever they have said if they had positions in the government. It is all about sour grapes. Those who will follow Msowoya are the ones who lost at MCP convention and those who are not happy to see other people joining MCP and those who believe MCP belongs to them and their tribe. MCP is as old as Malawi, it was there when this country was born, it has survived many challenges, it will not die just because of few individuals who have left. MCP does not have “owners” like DPP, PP, UDF etc. or a movement that is called after a person.

    1. oChakwera thinks he owns MCP; at the least, his actions, style and management of the Party is so suggestive.

  9. Mukumva kuwawa ndi Chilima. Anthu omutsatila akuchulukirabe tsiku ndi tsiku. Wait fòŕ DPP conversion and see what will happen later. Another band will also join Chilima.. This will be the time chilima will tell Malawians his road map to 2019. SKC ndi deal!!!

  10. Awa ndiye ndi mbola zenizeni. Zoti anali mu MCP amadziwa okha. The guy could not even help MCP win a councillor ward in Karonga. His influence cannot even felt in his own family. A Chilima muchenjere ndi zinazi mugwa nazo chagada. Munthu wanji wosokoneza chipani using the likes of Kaliwo and Kabwila? He was free to contest in the convention. Palibe lamulo limene MCP linaphwanya to hold the convention. Msowoya and Kalieo abused the courts. Kafikeni bwino kwa Saulos Chilima.

  11. This is but one way of Msowoya to show his disgust, hidden heretofore, of oChakwera’s leadership; the two were never joined at the hip anyway. Rather they were only using each other. And by joining the so-called Chilima Movement, Msowoya cements the belief among many Malawians that he is only tactical and not strategic in his political thinking.
    … more MCPers to be defecting soon: many of them invested so much in the Party, before oChakwera – the destroyer. Mia should also take some responsibility here. One wonders if Msowoya’s resignation was not Mia’s and oChakwera’s original wish, and whether the center of MCP can still hold together before a real rebellion at the grass root level. And will MCP still be viable and competitive next year?

  12. I agree with Joseph. Why holding a conference? For who? Do we even need him? lebwedelebwede azikalebweduka ku movement ya Chilima hahahaaaa

  13. Richard Msowoya,now you have reached your destiny and remain there for the people of Malawi.Indeed, I and my group of diaspora,are moved by your patriotic stance and please,remain with Chilima movement that will encourage and lead the masses of our exploited people under the former crooked leaders who had plunged our magnificent country into economic stagnation and political brutality which had come the order of the day.We have unwavering belief that Chilima with his movement,will instil hope and enthusiasm which will ultimately turn Malawi’s political and economic viabrant after 54 years of brutal and corruption under the leaders who were trusted by the people,only to be turned slaves and onlookers of the so-called leaders,who were just relaxing and mismanaging the national economy for their own interests and of their families with millions of money in foreign Banks.You have taken a patriotic stance that will enhance Chilima and other leaders to ensure the welfare of our people who fought very hard for our freedom and dignity.Right now,we are just regarded as loughing stock of the world and political lepers of Africa.Malawians are very hardworking people,but their so-called leaders,have let them down.Lastly,congratulation for your wise decision for MCP is the Party of Arabs and Chakwera is an observer captured by MIA,who runs the PARTY.SHAME CHAKWERA!!!!!!!!!

  14. MCP lost a local government by election in your own Karonga nyungwe constituency when you was MCP vice president, And with Sidik Mia just as MCP Member, MCP won Nsanje Lalanje constituency, Please did not leave your friends like Kaliwo, Kabwira and Chatonda, After all in northern region MCP is intact as there is Harry Nkandawire Catherine Gotani Hara, Rev Morris Munthali and Loveness Gondwe, Wishing you all the best.

  15. This politician is saltless he should have announced to his constituents who voted him to Parliament. It doesnt make sense to hold a press conference as if all districts who voted him. He contributed nothing to MCP. The party has not benefited anything from this man. Mbitee

  16. He is nobody in political circles let him go and indeed go well. I can’t wait to hear from kabwira and kaliwo the same thing as the mighty party is going into power come 2019

  17. Msowoya munthu osayamika wadyela pitani ku chilima movement tione ngati mukakhale A Vice President

  18. Waste of time. his home does not need him;Whoever he joins never wins.This is the symbol fail.Please do not take him ,Born very stuborn .Ask the spirit of Bingu. It is like eating only pepper with nsima
    .

  19. Akafaike. He won is parliamentary seat by 36%.

    In fact there was no need to hold a press conference. He would have told his constituents only. Malawians did not choose him.

    Akuti “change is coming soon”. What change? Kkkkkkkkk koma !

    1. Mr Msowoya go and Join chilima wako. Chilima was one the DPP members and he is the vice president of Malawi Chilimayo asatinamize kuti iyeyo alibwino akunana iyeso wadya nawo zamu boma la DPP sanganene relo anachoka 2 hyears isanakwane.

    2. Sorry Mr Joseph, when it comes presidential vote every vote count . one can win a seat by only one vote margin in Malawi. So CHILIMA MoVement. should a worry to MCP and DPP . the movement will spoil votes. And the winning party will not have a majority in parley it will need this movement in Parliament. So this movement will be a power broker

    3. Zakuwawanitu…Masamu ochotsera basi…amene ali nazo azaonjezeledwanso zambiri, iye amene alibe ngakhale ako kamene ayesa alinako azalandidwa 😂😂. Natural selection baba at its best, life is like that. The Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men and giveth it to whosoever he willeth to rule. No man has ever resisted his will
