Suleman hit by questioning: Kaphale, Chokhotho rip into key testimony in Malawi poll case
Attorney General (AG) Kalekeni Kaphale and private practice lawyer Tamanda Chokhotho, both representing Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) on Tuesday rounded up the Daud Suleman, the sixth witness for the second petitioner, in cross-examination of the landmark the presidential elections nullification petition case.
During cross-examination, Suleman made so many concessions in his testimony that could cause discomfort in the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) camp.
Being a self-proclaimed guru in information and communications technology (ICT) profession devoid of any undergraduate degree, and acknowledging the importance of any IT person to understand and master the clients processes, Sulemani surprised everyone when he said he does not know the difference between a vote and a ballot and that a vote only exists in the Results Management System (RMS).
When confronted by Kaphale with Polling Station Results sheet 66C, which clearly records candidates’ votes and exists outside the IT system, he failed to fumble his way through.
The witness also came out with a bloodied nose when he claimed he did not know about the existence of Form 60C, the primary record for Presidential candidate votes.
Suleman made another important admission that actually, the IT system is a mere information transmission or transportation and aggregation system, stating that without it, it is possible to determine the result of any election and this has been the case since time immemorial.
After this admission he was made to note that MEC published all the election results on its website.
Pressed by Kaphale if he bothered after having noted his concerns with the MEC IT system, to manually aggregate the published results and find out if MEC’s result is wrong, Suleman told the court he never bothered to do this, although admitting the capability and competence to do so.
Suleman was later asked about what outputs a well run parallel tally centre must produce. He told the court that among others, it must come up with a vote tally from its own sources and validate the MEC tally.
His attention was immediately drawn to the fact that MEC parallel voter tally centre had not presented to court any figures of what they think each candidate got. Suleman admitted they had not done so, despite professing competence and ability to do so.
Suleman admitted that MEC was transparent enough to have monitors witness the voting, vote counting, vote tallying, and recording process and they even were availed copies of results sheets.
He also conceded that despite all his allegations against the MEC IT system, he had been unable to bring to court any result sheet that could have been tampered during transmission.
Suleman actually observed that MEC’s act of distributing tally sheets to monitors at the national tally centre was aimed at allowing complaints and comments on discrepant results before the same were posted.
Getting into his presentation on the MEC IT system, he admitted during cross-examination with Chokhotho that his critique about a kit in Mulanje South West and Thyolo East were wrong as the data he presented was for Local Government elections relating to Luchenza township which straddles the two constituencies so the local government result was correctly captured using one kit and the data clearly showed it was for local Government elections.
The same went for his critique of the Blantyre West election results. He was made to observe that the result he was questioning related to Parliamentary elections and the data had nothing to do with the Presidency.
To cap it all, Chokhotho also aimed at damaging the credibility of Suleman as he was put on spot that that his Microsoft Certification, obtained in 2004, had expired, and so had his CISCO networking certification. This left him with only the Masters (MSc) in Strategic Management and Masters in Communications Management, none of which are an official IT Auditing certification.
Being heard by a panel of five judges, Healy Potani, Mike Tembo, Dingiswayo Madise, Redson Kapindu and Ivy Kamanga, the case has UTM Party president Saulos Chilima as the first petitioner, Chakwera as the second petitioner.
President Peter Mutharika of Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), in his capacity as the declared winner, is the first respondent with MEC as the second petitioner.
The petitioners contends that Mutharika “won a fraudulent election” fraught with irregularities, including alleged stuffing of ballot papers with pre-marked ballots, tampering with election results sheets through correction fluid and being found in possession of result sheets at home.

KKKKKK, I LIKE THE WAY CHILIMA AND CHAKWERA ARE LOOKING AT AG KKKKKKKKKKK. MFANA WOSOKONEZA KWABASI UYUYU
The problem is that everyone is writing comments with party colours in mind , what you should know courts don’t go for the real truth on the ground but evidence to case. You can kill someone with a gun but if the finger prints of someone is in the gun he can be arrested not the one who kill the person . This is what the court does.Lets make our conclusions after the last testimony in court, it many happen that Suleman is saying the real truth of the saver but Chisi can come tell the court that the system saver is hidden here.
i hope justice shall prevail,we should all accept the outcome of the verdict without compromising the peaceful malawi
The last joker torn into pieces.Ngongole pa Benchpo zachuluka.
You would have to be a complete idiot to think Suleman said anything sensible. He just presented how election rigging is done through deliberate or planned hacking of a computer system. Because of low levels of education and exposure to IT systems in Malawi, many people who did not know that hacking is a common trick used to interfere in computer systems believed Suleman. Of course, most of peoplthe e who believed Suleman are MCP and UTM supporters. But sorry! Kaphale has asked simple questions and the entire simulation by Suleman has been torn into pieces.
Going by what the paper is saying, Suleman had no evidence because his argument was based on the data for MPs and councillors. He failed to prove reasonable doubt by his expertise in IT that the elections were rigged. Our problem is that our minds are corrupted by politics. Therefore our analysis is wrong.
This is not a criminal case , where you have to prove beyond reasonable doubt my guy
My opinion is that two lawyers, Kaphale and Chokhota are at a loss of how they can respond to Suleman’s testimony. So far they have failed to dismiss the fact that MEC Chair announced the results before every vote was counted, that there was/were ghost user(s), that the RMS had weak controls, that tippex was used probably to tally with the results MEC assigned to candidates before hand, that only a handful of results were properly approved. They have dwelt so much on paper qualifications of Suleman and the manual process which we already know was messed up. Claiming the tippexed tally sheets were signed by monitors does not help MEC very much. Tippex was applied after they were signed. If it was not the case, then every alteration needed to be signed for as well.
There argument that MEC kit that is alleged to have been used in two different places at the same time was used for local government elections does not help them either. Remember, these were tripartite elections meaning you cannot have the same kit at the same time in two different places.
Judges are funny creatures. They will listen attentively to your arguments even if you are not making sense as my two learned friends.
so you have become a judge yourself.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm cadet wakondwa eti!!!!!!!!!!!!! Akubwera SC Msiska with re-examination. Muzamva pain then. It will be time for more explaination anyapapi inu
Koma this Daudi, how can he use data for parliamentary elections and local government elections to make conclusions on presidential elections. Was it to manipulate judges’ minds because of the technical nature of his evidence? Its a shame how such mediocrity can be allowed in a high profile case like this. It appears to me after all, that both sides are using desperate measures to win the case. None of them is exonerated and as such may the judges pass the verdict which is for the common good ; peace to prevail. Philosophically speaking, a rerun is a greater evil on account of two issues viz; rerun will invite more violence for the period prior to the elections and the fact that the seeking of justice by the opposition is hypocrisy. Neither of the opposing sides is clean and will do things differently. Why then should we endure the torture of violence and political instability for no good reason (just to change from one task master to another equally corrupt task master).
The question is what did the judge get from this? Suluman made a good point which cannot be dismissed. Kaphale is defending lies and it will not help this time. Evidence is there something was up during elections. We will not stop till we get to the bottom of this.
The responce to the technical allegations will be well handled by chisi. And cemented during reexamination by kaphale
That is everyone’s expectation too to hear the ghost user was and why the audit trail was deleted.
Kodi inu mungolibwalubwa mwamva kuti mulandu watha? So you think when Suleiman was saying I dont know, it means he really doesnt know? Again, this is another article from a paid up cadet who cant analyse issues but only aims at discrediting Suleiman because of the fat cheque he has. Mudya mpaka liti, soon mudzimbidwa. Why do you choose to be blind or twist the truth on things which are clear. Komanso knowing that Suleiman has exposed the whole fraud done through the use of IT, mwayamba kusintha, you want to bring the whole election issue kuti it was organized manually. mwachedwa nkhanga zaona
That was deliberate n it will be made clear during the re examination phase by his lawyer…you mean Sultimana didn’t know form 66? It can’t be n we all know the game that is being played here..wait for re examination n you will see what this means in general… Suffice to say that the evidence he gave have not been refuted by Kamphata remember..he is focusing on manuslnn him on IT
Finye ndi Tambala zakumana
milandu ingati akaphale akhala akuluza nanuuuuu inu anthu????? kkkkk ekha anakuuzanitu uwunso akudziwa yekha.
ekkk
anthu musadabwe….kumuona kaphaleyi chonchi ndikumumvela chisoni munthu oganiza monga mbava za dpp thats why amamupenya like that….
thank you kaphale for standing in the way of egoism
In fact it was Kalekeni and his buddy Chokhoto who seemed to had lost direction . They kept asking him things that were not in his territory. Just like you Cadet Chilunga they could not understand technological terms such as garbage. Yes as IT specialist Daudi won’t label records and values in the Database as votes. A Chilunga muyambe course ya Data base and SQL. Ndiza ma IT specialist izi.
To all the cadets making unreasonable comments here, go back to the article above and point out where Kaphele discredited the presence of the ghost users on mec system. Can any of the cadets indicate from the above article where Kaphale discredited the claim by Suleiman concerning who approved the elections results on RMS. The evidence of Suileman has more to do with the RMS so Kaphale was supposed to punch holes on this evidence. If the commissioners approved the rest of the results manually, who audited those approved results? If Suleiman and mec fail to agree on certain issues like details uploaded in the RMS, the best way is to produce the audit report and mec has the onus to make it available. Commissioner Alufandika has already started shivering wherever he is because his time to be in the dock is fast approaching. Auditors were part of the elections’ process, why are they not featuring anywhere in this case? Alufandika will shade more light on this one.
abale mcp nchani? you could have found someone with valid certifications to argue your case. apapa sulemani ma certificate atayidwa bendulo ndiye alibiletu ndimodzi yomwe……you are not serious with this case mungosokosela. kaphale wakuchotsani chimbenene
It depends on what you were interested to hear on his evidence otherwise my personal take is that both lawyers have failed to discredit his witness.the questions we should ask MEC are;1.did the commissioners approve results in the RMS during the dry run
2.did they indicate that the IT chief could be assigned 3 roles in the system
3.were final results supposed to be verified by auditors
4.was the RMS important in the determination of results
5.why was the system fed data after results were already released.
6.if the system was not that important why did they find it necessary to delete some data.
Akaphale atiuze izi otherwise they have just dwelled on discrediting his professional status when we all could see that even the MEC IT chief sangafike pa mnyamatayu.
Follow the case with a sober mind , you lose nothing..
Kaphale ndi katundu
Bring me the heavily Tippexed ,Overwritten ,form 66 with no signatures .Oh no can’t see …Give me Duplicates I want to Aggregate Presidential Results …I need a Calculator ,a Razor Blade to Scratch the Tippex…and a Magnifying Glass- Justify ,Justify and Justify – A Case Study on How to Tippex and Win Elections- Sulemani already said it- Garbage in and Garbage Out….
The thing is! Every case needs evidence so that judges can look those for judgement without evidence do not think of wining case.
Tha only thing Cadets must know about this case! How many evidence for opposition’s witness brought in the court and how many Evidence MEC and DPP brought in this case! For all Cadets you will find the answer if DPP and MEC can get something from this case.
Achimwene it is for the petitioner to bring the evidence. To prove that the irregularities affected the outcome. They have failed. I agree they were irregularities however the missing link is HOW they affected the votes.
What does Danwood Chirwa say now? He’s a shame of a lawyer. Why not just keep quiet than embarrass yourself?
Shame to you Patrick, you are faiy to follow what professor Chirwa said, since cross examine started no lawyer from defending side as over turned the dilered information, they are just asking where it can be found
“DC” is washed up already.
His analyses usually miss the mark.
By the way, fail to fumble is positive. The writer should have affirmed that. Having said that, my opinion goes to suggest that the aim of the simulation was to demonstrate loopholes in the IT electoral management system. I think Suleiman significantly demonstrated that. Did this writer see any strengths in this witness. It appears not. Why? Probably because he wants to sell out. Or: he is partisan. At the end of the day, the learned Judges, not us, will separate the minors from majors. That’s all social media is for: discussion. It is healthy. These are opinions. Regards to all.
RMS data and their behaviour reveals that out of 1134 questions that Kaphale asked, Sulemani had the following responses
Don’t know 556
Yes 349
Don’t agree 46
Yes with explanation 84
Out of question (deliberately avoiding to say yes ) 99
KKKKKKKKKKK
It looks like the writer of this article does not understand the material he is reporting on. The article sounds like an opinion piece from a party symphathiser, who has not bothered to understand the line of questioning by the lawyer, as well as the answers that were being given.
I listened to the court case and it is hilarious that the author of this article and the editorial team think that this article is an objective representation of what actually took place in court.
Maybe if the site would like to have credibility, it should do research on technical matters outside their field of expertise before embarrassing itself to the whole world. As I said, people listened to the court case.
Kaphale avoided key key testimonies of Suleman and was busy asking him other unerelated issues. Tiona pamapeto pankhaniyi. Those judges are not stupid
How can MCP & UTM allow this to happen? Seems like they are just swinging at anything hoping to land something. I mean, some of the questions their witness was being asked were obvious to anticipate, they should’ve known that he will be questioned on them and they should’ve taken the time to cross check his facts in preparation.
1. How can they allow him to make reference to results of a different election process when he knew very well that the data he is using is not for the scenario of his argument?
2. Couldn’t they check that his certification is not up to date?
3. Couldn’t they check if the alleged doctored system results are any different to the manually compiled results?
4. Couldn’t they check if his claims are merely showcasing how the system could be manipulated or they are indeed hard core evidence that the system WAS INDEED manipulated? Coz honestly his claims are purely based on how the system can be manipulated rather than evidence that the system was manipulated.
It just makes me question a lot of things.
MCP, I think you should start thinking of a succession plan. This whole case is introducing a blind spot on how it’s high time somebody take the reigns at MCP.
This is good analysis. After simulatipn, suleiman should have gone a step further by clearly showing the number of votes that were tampered with, where and for which candidate and by who. In his case, he has just shown how the system could have been manipulated. So no evidence. Zero pa ten.
This shows you how greedy Malawian lawyers. Iwo bolani alipidwa. Very very greedy. I think for the rest of us these are lessons when dealing with our lawyers please keep both eyes open
Kkkkkk Ana achepa
This sounds like more of an opinion article than a news item by a reporter. How can a reporter make comments like “bloody nose, fumbled, etc?” This mediocrity is a shame for the media profession.
On the other hand if a defense lawyer makes relentless attempts to discredit the process other than substance just know s/he has a weak case or probably he’s not good enough. It is very clear even to laypersons that Suleman or Bendulo were not hired as external forensic experts but witnesseses who saw IT irregularities firsthand during a sham electoral process.
Hahahaha everything being discussed in all circles including comments by Danwoon Chirwa are opinions. Even saying that Suleman has nailed it that also is an opinion. Lets be sober and avoid emotions. Lets enjoy the opinions while waiting for the verdict.
News reporting is not supposed to be opinion numbskull. Comments, including that of Danwood are of course opinion. No wonder this country is going down in almost everything. And you are one of the guys entrusted by the a thieving party to be running the country?
Suleman knew not what he was doing and MCP goofed in the way they lined up their witnesses. Those who came before Sulemani were supposed to prove anomalies on hard copies and Sulemani wasa supposed just to subsatanciate what was said by bringing IT data evidence. When elections are heard data is recorded manually and then the data on hard copies is entered on computers as an end product. Though people have praised Suleman but the dude is a big cheat and he has managed to con MCP as he did in 2014.
So can you tell us more since you are telling us that you know better than the rest?
However, Suleman set the bar so high and MEC lawyers have terribly failed to bring him down; I tell you. Besides, MIcrosoft Certification is of high value the fact that he didn’t renew his membership won’t move the judges to discredit him. He even mentioned that he is the first Malawian to obtain it and nobody could dispute that. Moreover, not renewing your certification/membership of microsoft doesn’t imply that ones knowledge has expired. Suleman’s bar still stands high.
I absolutely agree. Suleman has been let down by the witnesses before him.
You are right. The whole process was basically manual. The results that were transmitted using IT equipment were first printed at the main tally center, checked by the commissioners and auditors then passed on to party monitors so that they could verify with their monitors at constituency tally centre and when satisfied, go back to MEC and tell them to proceed posting those results or not. The posted results were on a big screen for everyone to see. So the question of a hacker is irrelevant as any manipulation during transmission would still be intercepted and questioned. Basitu!
1. To see the two petitioners, oChakwera and Chilima, wasting time and sitting phwii, and looking like they want to intimidate Kaphale, is pathetic. These two might as well have been playing Bao, right there. Is their presence at the Court really necessary?
2. It is now as clear as daylight that Suleman is NOT an IT professional; judging by the number and size of holes Kaphale and Chokotho have poked and exposed in his presentation. Suleman is simply a technician, when it comes to IT. Professionals, those with the academic qualifications, know why things are done – clearly Suleman doesn’t know – and technicians simply know how to fix things (at the Tech Shop).
3. Suleman clearly misrepresented the MJ (SW.), TO (E.) and BT (W.) results as to their relevance; and by doing that, and admitting to it, he was treating the Judges as maKape. They must be furious about that.
And how could the MCP/UTM lawyers not see this coming? Perhaps blinded by the big money they are getting paid from Mia; and Chilima will soon be asking for advance salary from his pension too, to help with paying the lawyers.
4. The Court is NOT a political podium, where almost anything can be said without consequence.
Suleman is now being reduced to who he really is – a Tech; but will still walk away having pocketed money from MCP/UTM grouping regardless.
His appearance was supposed to be the apex of the case. And now, there are so many holes in his evidence that we are getting close to conclude that there is NO CASE here.
I think you know nothing so stopping talking shit here.Let me just educate you now on this issue,the questions that Kaphale is asking most of them will be handled or answer by MCP Lawyers.So if you are a diehard DPP supporter you better think twice before its too late.We all follow the court proceedings.Why Kaphale and Chokhoto are running away of the Ghost Adm.Its high time for you to open up your blind eyes and deaf ears.
Suleman is big man, those who can understand him are only those who knows how to make different things out of usual, what Kaphale was asking and what we are reading here is just what all of us who love to see the truth and the justice in this Country have already see how Mr Kaphale avoided to ask him the part of his evidence he brought to court, Suleman was answering things that are already answered by many of witnesses in this case. For example, Mr Kaphale asked him about the monitors on every polling station, this was obvious to have a monitor on every polling station and he(Suleman) said the process of tallying was not done by monitors, aaaaaaa guys. This guy is supa, he answered according to what he knows, can we say Jane ansah as the one who announced the winner was available to all polling stations so to know that everything went well and have that courage to announce the winner? Your guess is good as mine, you can’t underate his qualifications and or his experience in IT because, the one who employed him is the one who has his CV in this case MCP knows him better, that is why they took him to be there IT persone during this elections, by the way, it was the same when Bendulo was also on the stand, come Modicai you will see the way this Kaphales will suffocate in this Court, Bendulo told the Court how he got to know IT and some of you were here full of jealous, but what Bendulo said in the Court is still ringing in your ears, so as this Suleman, he has Modicai coming to rescue him from what you think Kaphale has done.
I tell you, mukapeza kuti wakuba wavuta kwambiri dela lanu ndipo mwavutika kumugwila, ndipo wina wamugwila eeee eeee ndiyekuti amene wagwila wakubayo ameneyo ndiye timamutcha kuti katswiri. So in this case Suleman and Bendulo hahahahahhaaha ndinu madolo.
Tell dem bro makape sakuziwa chomwe akunena
Kaitano, you have put ice on the ca7ke. In court case of that nature, its very difficult to discredit expert evidence proffered by that IT man. Personnally I would like to see a lawyer well versed in IT law as well as expert evidence to discredit that Suleman. I look forward to that. Lastly, the article here which is the cause of these comments should have been written by somene conversant with reporting court proceedings so that the content reflect legal facts and not opinions that seem to misled the public.
This is why it is advisable to desist from commenting on cases that are being heard in court. Reasons being that prejudice rares its ugly face, sobriety is discarded.
In the ongoing post election case people are genuinely taking sides based on which side of the camp one belongs. That being said, they are carelessly outlining their own judgement without looking at the merits/demerits of the court proceedings. I find this very disturbing, eventually this will escalate the uncalled for torching, destroying of properties and unnecessary human life loses all over again. The judging panel here needs to have very sober and professional delivery of whatever outcome will be arrived at.
Unfortunately, with the rampant ownership of smart phones, every Jim and Jack finds it fit to post every nonsense. Some are saying MCP & UTM should form one front against DPP with the sole reason of unseating APM. I find that to be a very flimsy reason. Others are saying if indeed rigging was done then APM or DPP has to be disqualified. Well, if the constitution says so then I see no point why that line of thinking cannot be applied. My worry is that too much is making rounds on the social media which unfortunately is a recipe to disaster because the judging panel may be driven by some of the comments by individuals; sadly some of the comments are coming from well informed people teaching in higher learning institutions. This is why i said the judges need to judge based on what the book dictates. If partisanship comes into play then be mindful that nobody will trust you again.
You got a point,unfortunately too late.
@Jason Bailer i like your wisdom. i have listened to DaudiSulmani’s cross examination and i can see the truth. What some people are writing is very subjective. They are cooking up stories big time. End result misleading the nation.
Again you opinion
This guy Suleman will prove to be the ultimate failure of the opposition. All that euphoria in vain… atleast as far as the authenticity of his testimony is concerned. Too bad he gave the losing 60% of the electorate false hopes. Once this is over, digressing a bit, let’s have our electoral system revised.
Then stop using the THE PATRIOT because a well patriotic Malawi can not support the way elections were managed in our country.It takes a fool and brainless thinking capacity to side with MEC and DPP
@Lego
Koma nde ehh. BP sinakwere mkapa pano as you see to be taking criticism of the Opposition and their lawyers/witnesses personally? Have you checked the BP lately?
Za ma Biggy tu izi!
The next demonstrations may be against Kaphale
Ha ha ha ha ha koma MCP imandipasa phete,,, let’s forget about MCP and form a new, better, relevant party! Chakwera should just accept and return to reverend
Next move is to sue Ntambo,trampense,Chakwera and nchilima
Kutha kwa zipani. Dpp Moto nyenyani agwapewa. Aduleni zokodzera tsopano.

Kaphale ndi galu kwabasi
Machine opangira Machine anzanke… Mfana Kaphale amatha zithunzi
ndi student kwa Modecai, kaphale yo
Aaaah Kaphale you have worked so hard to hide the truth. But the truth shall always prevai no matter how hard or how long.
You always plan to play damage and dispel the truth
God knows how to deal with crooks and mercenaries .
Sulemani avoid becoming so defensive. Courts are not places to show kuti umadziwa but to present facts and ably answer questions the way they come from the councel otherwise you create loop holes for own defeat
Children are small. The ng’ona camp wa vocal as usual over the weekend. Overrating this idiot they thought is a crocodile not knowing he is just one of those lizards. Sulemani, the messiah that never was.
Pathetic opposition leaders sitting in the morning shade looking at mighty kaphale passing by and wondering what questions he’s carrying. See them looking at kaphale looking ahead.
Some of them already knew that sulemani will be found wanting… coccaine too much
KKKKKKK so pathetic,you can even call Kaphale mighty,is your brain working?
Suleiman now turned into a sorry man😀😀😀😂😂😂
KOMA SULEMANI YUUU. WANGOTISOKONEZA IFEEEE
The case is over! nothing to wait anymore! Kaphale and chokhotho they couldn’t stop Suleman. I hope Cadets can see themselve. Bye Dpp, bye Cadets
The chap knows his stuff< but he was lying about election management as he was influenced by social media information. You cant cheat Qualified lawyers by using ICT technical jargon to confuse the masses, they have their own way of cornering a lier. Its a shame most of his answers were no or I dont know. You wasted our time and energy to listen to your testimony
So who is not qualified?Please be objective,the IT man demonstrated what happened and your so called qualified skipped most of the things and went on asking about the monitors or if Suleman was on the most polling centres.Was Jane Ansah on the polling centres when he announced that your TIPPEX president has won?You Malawians when are you going to know the truth and your rights?Let not money use you to steal your rights.
The questioning of his microsoft certification was illogical, if I drive a car, whether my licence experied or not, I still have the knowledge. The attorney General general and chokotho have tried to punch holes in Sulemans evidence but, still what comes to our understanding is that the system, was compromised hence rendering the whole Results Management, Syetem Compromised…hence the results announced by Ansah were compromised hence the only solution is nullification of the results.
The good thing is that judgement is not based on your answeres during crossexamination but the quality of your evidence, the judges will determine this case by checking all the angles.
This case is a watershed for Malawi, a serious one, If the results are nullified I do see a costitutional crisis, the judges do better guide the country well. It means Chilima will go back to his vice president position, APM will still be president in acting position, amd the court further establishes that ge coulleded with MEC to rig thats a serious offence, he should be prosecuted and obviously those who have been convicted can not compete in an election…(blue camp you better start looking for a. Possible candidate)
May God help mother , Malawi!!!
Bodza kuti Chilima will return to his post if court rules a re-run. Contract yake inatha pa21 May ndipo analandira kale his terminal benefits.
Let me clarify this with a practical example. Suppose he is returned to his post and he blunders and is impeached before the re-run can he lose his 1st term pension benefits? NO!
Muthalika and Chimulirenji will take us to the re-run just like Chakwera/Mia would have taken us to the re-run if MEC had wrongly declared him president.
If the elections are nullified Chimulirenji mandate falls off. It is APM SKC taking us through on a temporary basis because their mandate is unchanged so far. That is the basic legal point. No emotions
Do you mean you can drive a car with an expired license??? You can practice with expired certificate??? Really??? Tamaganizani before exposing your ignorance guys…is it the same desperation for power?
Kod ndi license imene imayendesa galimoto or ndimunthu. Or license ndi key to start a car or it’s just a qualication. Iweyo nd mbuzi yeniyeni. How many people drive without drivers license?????
Aleke Kadonaphani Banda was Secretary General of MCP, Board chairman of at least10 statutory companies, best minister in Muluzi’s government and held various ministerial positions during Bandas leadership. Banda went to nobody’s university. Even the Microsoft and apple guys weren’t professionals it’s time this foolishness is eradicated in Malawi.
Does the license drive a car or a person?Stop fooling yourself,a certificate can expire but your knowledge and exprience will not expire.Its you the one who is ignorant on these issues.Besides,the matter was about the evidence he represented not about his qualification.Are you telling me its only qualified people who votes.The matter is about rigging and asking something that Malawians are interested not his qualification,that is irrelevant.
Kikkkkk ichiso ndi chitselekwete cha chabe eti? Koma mauidziwa mkomwe Licence? Malawi Malawi Malawi Malawi!!! Kikkkkkkkkkk ndaseka koma chisoni chandipweteka heavy.
ICTis a dynamic field and its not and indeed certificates expire. Those who studied ICT during the time of main frames can not handle modern ICT
but did the lawyers object his evidence? Do you need to be PhD in order to be a court witness – in this case to reveal the data manipulation by DPP cadets and MEC folks?
Why should an acting president have acting vice president? i think is enough.
I personally believe that the AG should have asked questions relating the capacities and insecurity of the the mec IT systems. The AG should also have asked this Dudu in order to discredit his claim that infact the system was actually used to rig. However from what you have mentioned here nothing counters his claim. All the AG did was to draw the witness away into waters the witness was not familiar. A complete waist of time. The one thing clear was AG lacks applied knowledge of IT and he was ambushed because he did not prior advice from Chisi to fully understand what Suleman would talking about. Anyway it is of no consequence because the Judges will use other evidence they consider relevant.
I am glad that although you are a cadet, you have enough sense to see that Kaphale always goes for “low hanging fruit”. The main thrust of Suleman’s testimony that the RMS was compromised and that there was a ghost user who deleted and changed some of the results remains intact – as far as this article is concerned. If Ansah announced the final results from this compromised RMS system, then it doesn’t matter whether Suleman is a plumber or whatever. Perhaps Chisi will be able to upend Suleman’s computer demonstration. Maybe he will be able to explain away the millisecond upload of batch data, the “orphan” tables, the use of private email addresses for highly sensitive data, the editing of results the day following announcement of the results, etc…
That’s the whole argument. In any case I personally think that Chisi will try but will fail because in life facts can be changed but you can’t change truth. Physical technical issues are based on natural truth and perceived facts like you do in law. So Kamphale should not bank on Chisi because chisi Hope’s will be to influence the judges understanding and not changing technical truth. By the way I see that the word Dudu has misled you. I am happy because it was meant to.
Dude, can just be used as a friendly pronoun right? It has nothing to do with hate or fight in any way, you can possibly call your best friend dude, it’s so sweet!! So Kanchenga and my best friend Zamadula, you are my dudes because i like your arguments, well written
KK wanted to show Suleiman wanuyu kuti chisankho chinali chamanual. He did this perfectly. Suleiman wanuyo wangokunamizani.
Obviously Zamadala and I are discussing at higher level making you interactually challenged. He called me cadet because I refered to Suleman as dudu. Join in with facts not emotions
Kanchenga, ,,you are good, I like the argument and it is well articulated so as you Zamadula, together we can make Malawi a better place. Thank you.
you are right, kaphale had no questions but asking tally sheet issues when suleman showed them computer issues. You the reporter, zawadi chilunga should have been one to let the nation know how kaphale was being corrected on his questioning as a learned lawyer, but we know there are so many cadets everywhere.
And I quote, “devoid of any undergraduate degree”, “none of which are an IT Audit qualification”😂😂😂
I am scratching my head…….until RE-EXAMINATION…..!
Sulemani u will die young
what about kaphale?
You are dead while young if you fail to stand for truth and cessation of breathing in your 08s is but only a belated announcement of your earlier death. Look around you too many dead people whose conscious troubles them every night they go to bed. For example people like Dausi longtime ago during Banda’s leadership.
