Times editors donate Mutharika’s handouts to orphanage

November 26, 2014 Harry Chibwe -Nyasa Times 128 Comments

Four editors of Times Media Group which owns several newspaper titles in Malawi and a television station have donated to Chritian Organisation of Oprhans  in Malawi  the cash they received from Malawi President Peter Mutharika in what is widely criticised as  a bribe to silence the Malawi journalists from playing their watchdog role.

Mutharika gave envelopes containing K50,000 ($125) to over 80 journalists  from various media houses across the country –  some even receiving more depending on their status–  during  a dinner he organized for the media practitioners at  hilltop Sanjika Palace in Blantyre last Tuesday.

The editors;  Gracian Tukula who is head of news for Times TV, Innocent Chitosi editor for Malawi New,  MacDonald Bamusi  editor for Sunday Times and Brian Ligomeka Managing Editor for the Times Group used the money to buying assorted items which they donated to an orphanage on Tuesday (a week later).

In as story monitored on Times TV  news cast on Tuesday which was anchored by former State House press officer  Brian Banda,  Ligomeka said they initially decided to return the money to the President but reversed the decision.

“We thought it wise to instead emulate the gesture shown by the President by giving us huge sums of money to also donate it to the needy,” said Ligomeka.

Reports also show that editor for the Nation Publications Limited a rival media house to Times group George Kasakula was the only journalist who returned the money to the presidential press officer Fredrick Ndala soon after opening the envelope and realised there was cash.

The BBC Malawi correspondent Raphael Tenthani has described the Sanjika saga as “the most stupid way to bribe people.”

Tenthani said he and few others journalists have committed the money for a charity towards the health bill for former Malawi News editor Limbani Moya who is currently in India to undergo kidney transplant.

Alaudin Osman, editor in-chief for the privately owned Capital Radio which he owns, was the  first one to sound an alarm through a story aired on his radio a day after he also pocketed the money.

Few days later Tukula,   wrote on his Sunday Times column that he was failing to gauge the meaning of the money from the president.

Mutharika, through government spokesman Kondwani Nankhumwa,  duped the unsuspecting journalists by saying that the envelopes contained the president’s plans for the media.

However, many journalists who received the money have used it without complaining.

  1. MBC (Mutharika Broadcasting Corporation) is quiet on this one but if it were something to do with Joyce Banda you would have heard them making noise like mad dogs!

  2. it is inconceivable for the government to keep on whinning that it does not have money and yet someone is busy flashing unsolicited cash. I still do not believe that this move was sanctioned by the well learned lawyer cum president. If indeed this is what transpired, then I have my reservations for Mr President to let those surrounding him give stupidiest advises. Wake up Mr. President. use your intelligence and wisdom that these are archaic tactics.

  3. TIMES JOURNALISTS, IF YOU SHARE THE SAME SPIRIT WITH APM, THEN YOU ALSO ARE CORRUPT THEIVES, BY YOUR OWN ADMISSION

  4. There is only one meaning: here is some money for you so that you only write nice things about me. This shows naivete on the part of anyone who accepted and kept this bribe, and ignorance on the part of the giver. What an insult to a profession which should be honest, above being bought to give good press! I commend those who passed it on to the children of Malawi, who should have been at the forefront of the president’s mind. He, however, was more interested in getting ‘good press coverage’! Where are the leaders of Malawi?

  5. Mwakanika usogoleri a Apm, mungoutulapasi bwanji??, U can force a donker to a river but u can’t force it to drink water. Musawaseke pa kamwa ma jounalist apange ntchito yawo mosaopa munthu, ndimwaukadaulo.

  7. This government is not serious to run this country. Mukumwanza ndalama chonchi pamene out there teachers are crying for their salaries. Workers rom court are on strike asking for their increment

  8. Donors have taken note already. This so called professor is really messing this County up just like his brother did. Guess stupidity does run in the family. Sorry to say but it seems as if corruption really does start at the top. Those journalist that accepted the bribe, even if you gave it away you are an equal guilty partner in the crime committed. It just shows you how cheap your integrity is. Shame on you all. And now that you have eaten then 50,000 or bought a few drinks and hookers are you going to write nice things about our dear professor?

  9. We are not even a year yet with this pres, but hey look at all these tornadoes of corruptions. Ziliko only in malawi.

  10. Heheeeeeeeeeee boma ilo losasankhidwa ndi yehova, lobela mavoti likubanso ndalama za poor Malawians, muona mkwiyo wa Mulungu

  14. Choncho mukufuna ma donors akuthandizeni while you are wasting Government’s funds. You are dialling a wrong number. APM you are a disgrace

  15. I can’t believe we have strange demons in Malawi working as administrators online. Let me do some simple calculations for u Nyasa savages. MK 50 000 * 80 = K4 000 000. This is the money people r making within 4hrs. Infact, this can’t be compared to the dementation of giving 50 million to Bullets and Nyerere when dead bodies were rotting in hospitals. Plundering more than 15 billion from government coffers when people were dying in hospitals because of drug shortage.

      1. Holy be Holy, the magnitude of the money doesnt make one of them just. The president has goofed big time on this. so, dont waste your precious time defending him.

    2. Holy be Holy, your thinking is shallow and siding. We don’t condon such behaviour, whether it is smoke from firewood or smoke from paper the smoke is the same big or small. Extravagance, people need that little money somewhere. Remember “mudya makoko saiwala”. AMalawi tikuvutika!

  16. Surprisingly ZODIAK yokonda zovumbulutsa nkhani zakatangale akuona,kuti imeneyi sinkhani. Sakukambako izi. Inu a zodiak pompano mukhala ma level a MBC. hated

  17. Anthu mulibe pabwino ndithu. Akanakhala chete mukanadziwa kuti kunja kulinji? Nzodabwitsatu izi kwabasi. meeting for a few hours koma mpaka k50,000? Iyi ndi Sanjikagate

  18. This is a big embarrassment to the presidency!What services were being paid for? ACB and other watchdogs, where are you? If more than K4 million Kwacha can be “spent”like that, are our resources as a nation in self hands? It will be interesting to know the account code which was charged in relation to this transaction. As long as we keep on “electing” the same recycled politicians, Malawi will never change!

  19. APM’s role was just to give the money and how to spend it is not my APM’s responsibility. And i dont know why the issue of expenditure of tima 5o grand is on media?we really immature and unethical journalism industry in Nyasaland.

  20. There no wisdom in using the cash you claimed to have received from the president for buying assorted items and donating to an orphanage in the name of Times journalists as the name that appears is not of Professor Peter Muthalika. The right procedure was to return the money to the person who gave you the money. Apatu mwagwa nayo basi. Next time wise up and act professionally.

  21. palibe nkhani apa.kubwenzako mwayamba lero kale sumapasidweko ndalama?amene adyao achita bwino ndalama mmene zikusowelamo nkumabwezanso za chamba eti.mumalandira zingati mmakwamo mungpanga matama apa.

  22. You have just found the money little so decided to return or that your friends of high status got a lot compared to what most of you got. mmmmh mutinamizepo apa!!

  25. Lets hope you will keep on working without getting kick backs when you are covering events. Its good you have set a very good example here and the whole world is watching. Some journalists when invited to cover events you normally get something but you have never complained. This time because you have turned to be politicians then you are going public to say you can’t get K50,000 yet you have been getting even k10,000 or less in other organisations. Lets wait and see who will suffer. From now onwards, no organization will give reporters some money because it will be perceived as a bribe. Musova!

  26. Many journalists who received the money have shut their mouths and put their pens and tape recorders away/ They will only use them when there is no money given. I wonder if the bosses of such journalists were not given a share upon the return of the enevelopgate junior to the office. Otherwise the journalists should be fired for destroying their ethics. Personal greed was placed before their integrity.
    And those who later bought gifts and donated to orphanage, after news broke-out, how sure are we that they used all the money for such a purpose? Too late. They are also ‘Judas Ascariots’. They should prove that.

  29. Amati, “The greatest want of the world is the want of men, men who will not be bought or sold, men who in their inner most souls are true and honest, men who do not fear to call sin by it’s rightful name, men whose conscious is as true to duty as the needle pole, mwn who will stand for the right until heaven fall.” Osati tikumva apazi za ma journo a pa Malawi ofcourse except one Kasakula.

  31. Atolankhani vuto ndi umphawi. Mumachititsa chisoni ma workshop. kupempha too much. makamaka ma fotojournalists! Tsono poti munamezako ku state houseko are you going to vomit thee food you chewed? Kasanzeni basi otherwise ma ttoilet mudakatayilako akuimbani milandu. Koma tsono zili bwino popeza the country has known that every time a journo is engaged ndi wa free of charge. Tsoka kwa ma free lancers!

  32. Am sure the President needs Mental Health Assessment. It could be that the inner circle knows something is wrong with him and are just using him yet he doesnot know what he us doing. He is 77 and its worrying. There is no way someone of his calibre making mistakes after mistakes even more embarrassing things. The advisers are failing him and they are not doing their job. These people are positioned tightly to the President not to support him but secretly pushing him to the cliff. He who finds a wife, finds a good thing. Mrs Muntharika, as a number 1 adviser, how can you allow this to be happening to ur husband? Csn you not see that your husband is loosing his dignity? If u really love him and care for his reputation, tell him to slow down and do something on those so called ADVISERS. Why should the whole President be humiliated and loose his diginity in such a way? He represents Malawi and this is not on. Its better for him to be without advisers looking at what is unfolding.

  33. Hahahahahahahahaha!koma abale!k50,000 yakuti ingazadze mu cutton yotelereyo?Or mwana wamng’ono angavomelereze zimenezo?Taonani chi cutton chikupelekedwacho is that 50,000 claimed here?hahahahah!by the way why didnt the Journalist just died the giveout right there?chilungamo chili pati pamenepo?u know what the danger is that musekeleza mwawi wa anzanu ena amene akadaitanidwa kukamba zaphindu,not u idiots kungopita kumupala mkamwa APM.

    Mudakadziwa kuti anzanu akulemba ma kalata opempha kukaonana ndi President koma sakuitanidwa,simungalembe zabwino zomwe mwakambirana kumeneko.koma mukufuna kuipitsa munthu wabwino cholinga ma donors apitilize kusapeleka thandizo kunoko later muzidzati APM wabweretsa mavuto ku Malawi.Mbuzi zachabechabe zosafunira dziko lanu zabwino.
    Tatopa ndi inu atolankhani omalemba zoipa zokhazokha za dziko lanu,cholinga chanu ndi chiani makamaka?Ufititu umenewo.

  38. Peter Mutharika is disgrace president for Malawian ever as unemployment, hunger, poverty, lack of infrastructure in Malawi, lack of drugs Muzipatala whereas incompetent president is busy dishing out money K50,000.00 to journalists through ENVELOPES

    DISGRACE PRESIDENT

  40. Nankhumwa should be fired for misleading the president to bribe the journalists. This is really an embarrassment to the president. The president is now working with his tail in between his legs because of this stupid ideal hatched by one silly Nankhumwa.

    The whole ideal of interfacing with the journalists has turned upside down, its about time Nankhumwa take responsibility of this saga and honourably quit his job before he is pushed.

  41. I find this self indulgent congratulatory rubbish, nauseating,deceitful and down right patronising.

    Does it have to take someone in South Africa to point out that what happened at Sanjika was wrong? And then suddenly every Jim and Jack in the journalistic community starts justifying their behaviour and even demanding a pat on the back?

    From when I am standing these stories about where the money went are at the least suspect and at the most actions of people caught in the act and trying to wriggle out of a difficult situation, the proverbial “caught with their pants down”

    Don’t you find it strange, I do, that we have not seen a single photograph, taken at snjika with say five journalists exposing Muthalika for bribing them, I mean would it not have made it plausable for some of the self righteous idiots to pose for a photo at sanjika showing the money with a caption ” we have been bribed” and then start explaining what they will do with the money? rather that giving us afterthoughts because they have been caught out?

    When Chirwa pointed out Muthalikas folly, he was roundly condemned for being an egocentric academic show off with nothing better to do. But now it appears, with all these journalists tripping over themselves trying to convince people they took the money to give to charity, or to help Moya, that Chirwa was right all along. If Chirwa had not said anything, would that cash have gone to Charity and to Moya? I doubt it, in any case some have already justified receiving the cash because they say it is their tax. So should we all go to Muthalika and demand our tax?

    Malawian journalists are partisan, I am trying to be polite to them, but really they are incompetent. What the do it appears is to start with a conclusion, then write the story in line with their conclusion.

    This is what I mean, if they want to make Goodall Gondwe look bad in a certain week, they will sit down and say “we have not made Gondwe look bad for some time any ideas”? Then someone will say I have just the thing, he was the most badly dressed person at Peter Muthalikas wedding. and so they write a story headed “Goodall Gondwe most Badly dressed person at Muthalikas wedding. And indeed this was a real story.

    I wouldn’t trust Malawian journalists as far as a could trow them. I am not sure that this money at Sanjika story is even real, or the “what shall we write to embarrass Muthalika” syndrome.

    Sorry guys for going on, but Malawi is a very frustrating country, where good people fail to get on with their business for fear that some idiotic journalist will make up a story about their activities thereby destroying their reputation.

    Malawian Journalists are a disgrace we at least know 80 of them are.

  42. Don’t cheat de nation abale kuti muoneke ngati anthu achilungamo. Ok if ua teling us de truth give back o de mane given to u by Joyce Banda & Bingu. Truth b told here dat de mane iz a peanut compared to dat u hav bin receiving from de previous boma. Bull shit.

  43. Zaoneka kt udindo wa u president umafunika kumapanga zachinyengo.choncho zomawaimba milandu ma president opuma zingotha chifukwa mmawanso ndi iwo.dziko likuona

  44. Ndiye mwasiyana pati ndi Lutepo yemwe lero akudabwa koma atatenga kale. The bottom line is munalandira zinazi ndi face saver.

  46. i thought all professors were intelligent, koma nde mwayalukatu m’mene ma journo a pa nyasalande amakondera doshi muja mpaka kukukanirani ndalama????

  47. KKKKKK Kulandira MK50,000.00 ndi kukapanga donate ku Orphanage MK10,000.00 yotsalayo pa thumba lakumbuyo KKKkkkkkKKKKKKkkkkkkKKKKKkkkkKKKKKkkkkk

  48. There is so much ado about nothing here. The journos who donated money to the orphanage did not donate Mutharika’s money: it was their money and how they got it is immaterial. The only serious journo out of the whole bunch is Kasakula.
    Jounalists in this country actually receive allowances for covering a function that is in their own interest for gathering news, after being offered transport. They see nothing wrong with it. Today a bunch of editors pocket money from Mutharika and a few days later make a donation to an orphanage and expect us to applaud them! Mwagwa nayo!

  50. George Kasakula, you are the man. This nation Malawi needs men of your caliber. The other journalists proved themselves that they can easily be corrupted.

  52. Amene abweza alinazonazo koma kwa iye amene amapeleweledwa wagulila zinthu panyumba I can’t blame them. Bola asanyengeke nayo, eat the money and do otherwise osati mene afunila a President.

  53. What a shame to the president! Why lying that the blue envelopes had a media kit? Kuyalukatu uku. 80 scriber each k50000 and above its a lot of money, yet you haven’t paid teachers their october perks? Ndakhumudwa nanu a pulezidenti. Are you a true professor?

  54. Poti alandira ndi iwo alembi ndi ma handouts. Akakhala other members of society ndimasikono, bribes. Donating your bribes does not make it any less of a bribe. Should we applaude them or Cashgaters for being wellwishers to parties or churches?

  55. Wagwa nayo Peter. THis is the problem of taking immature advisers like Malopa and Ben Phiri. Akulangizani zibwana basi. Malawians are no for sale. We need mature leadership to move our country forward. Bingu was generally against handouts and he stuck to his principle.

  56. What about the food, drinks, beers you guys had. You are only telling us about the money here.

    For how long have you been getting these fat envelopes??

  57. MATTER OF FACT:MTHARIKA ADMINISTRATION HAS LOST DIRECTION AND THEY KNOW IT-THEY HAVE NO DIRECTION. SO EACH ONE OF THEIR TOP LEADERSHIP WANT TO SYPHON MONEY FROM GOVT INSTITUTIONS INTO THEIR PERSONAL POCKETS FOR THE FUTURE OF THEIR FAMILIES.JUST IMAGINE MR DAUSI ASKING FOR 43 MILLION FROM NAC WITHOUT PROPOSAL. MTHARIKAS WIFE AND HER DUBIOUS INVOICE OF 5MILION TO NAC! APM AND TEAM ARE VERY INSECURE AND KNOW THERE DAYS ARE NUMBERED.MALAWIANS,LETS CONTINUE PRAYING 4 OUR NATION .GOD ALMIGHTY IS IN CONTROL

  58. Ndikufuna Salary Yanga Ya August 2012! Siyambiri Ayi Ndi K27405.70! Zachamba Ayi! Ndalama Mukungomwaza Ngati Michenga Pamene Enafe Mukulephera Kutilipira Munthawi Yake Fools!!!

  59. Paja a DPP amadana ndi ma handout. Koma mmaona kuti sizituluka pambalambanda? Peter must fire whoever advised him to goof like this.

  60. Bravo guys. Your fellow journos who chewed the dirty monies should feel ashamed of promoting bribery of the highest order. You can not be writing against hand outs and be quick to chew the same. Ndakunyadilani heavy!!!!!!

  61. Let it be known that you cant bribe all the people just like you can fool people once but you cant fool them all the times. bravo journalist for returning the cash and thanks for donating. We actually work to earn a living not receiving handouts. by the way, where has Mutharika got the money to freely give the huge group of jouralist? it seems you have as well started stealing from the poor…tax payers money being shared here.

  62. kubweza ndalamako nde mbola coz chabwino kaya ndi bribe kaya chani mukanangokampatsa mphawi wina wake pena pake inu chimdalitso chakecho or anzanu apanga donate wo siopusatu komanso kumudzi kwanu kulibe anthu osaukitsitsa kuti akanakagula gaiwa. koma mwati mukabweze muoneke angelo osachimwa koma uchimo uli tho mbali zina. or mukanangondipatsa ine ndalamayo pano ndilibiletu chili chonse apa

  64. Those journalists that have consumed the money such as Zodiak are total foolish ready to sell themselves. Those journalists can readily accept Manthanyula given K10 000. Good job Kasakula et al for not getting NACGATE. If the president has lots of money why not give it to the needy in his own village with stinking poverty? Very stupid bribery motive! Mulhako Woyee! Journalistgate Woyee! NACGATE WOYEEEE! Matchona amakhala wopanda nzeru.

  65. A PETERA ZOONA MUNAPHUNZIRA LAW NKUMAPANGA UMBULI UMENEWO.AN NKHUMWA NANU MUFERA ZAENI.MA PLANI A MEDIA ANAJAMBULA PA CASH YINALI MU ENVELOP? BECAREFUL, NDI ATOLA NKHANI MUKUWEAYANKHA KUTI NU ENVELOPE MUNALI MA PLAN A MEDIA.

  66. The envelopes really contained the president’s plan on the media which is bribery. It also shows that all people who have set their feet into the state house have come out with something bribery shame on these fools.

  68. I think we should just impeach this mad Mutharika. The keys have really been given to the dogs. Remember none of this money is his, he steals money from NAC with his dying wife Gertrude and uses it to bribe the journos, oh what a fuck president we have? If Malawians keep quiet he is going to steal the country away from us and sell it. Just check out how many blunders he has made in just a few days in power. Oh God my foot.

  71. why were you not donating all this time??? munalandila basi and mwangoona kuti ndizochepa mwati mupange donate? Akanakhala ma million were you going to donate?????????

  72. Good thinking from those who discovered quickly that they were give money which had no meaning to them, Gracian Tukula (my fellow Catholic) George Kasakula, Ralph Tenthani, Innocent Chitosi and others bravo guys zopusa ayi. Thanks for helping orphans.

  74. Thumbs up editors, and Kasakula, and the Tenthani team working for Limbani’s good health. This is a great gesture and am sure institutions such as MISA and JUMA will throw in their support to such creative and unselfish thinking.

  76. I think George Kasakula is the only journalist who should be applauded. He realized there is something wrong there and then and he followed his conscience and principles and did not take the money. Enanu ndiye za Joyce Banda zoti wolandila ndalama zakuba siwolakwa. All of you have been writing stories on how people received cashgate monies and used them. You now have participated in money laundering activities, because thats how dirty money is laundered.
    I applaud you George Kasakula. Enanu take a page from this gentleman. It doesnt matter where you are or whether you are going to cause a scene. And I dont think you kept those K50,000 for a week before using them. Its because Gracian wrote in the papers about it. Even Raphael himself didnt write about it in his column and he is a big critic, he was worried about not given the chance to ask APM questions.
    So this close to K4million you journalists got, do you know where it falls in the governments budget line. Where did Goodall allocate this expenditure? State house expenses? Or part of dinner expenses like ma drinks mumamwawo. You owe the nation an apology. Money laundering mukuwanena anzanu aja ndi cashgate ndiye imeneyo. Maybe it was also governments way to show the nation that these journalists are also self-serving, and cant walk their talk.

  77. Tsopano??? Vuto ndi chani??? Anakuwuzani zochita nazo ndalamazo??? Mmesa amafuna muthandizire mzanu Limbani Moya???

  81. WHAT A SHAMEFUL ACT BY THE PRESIDENT AND HIS CRONIES!!!! A WHOLE PRESIDENT CAUGHT PANTS DOWN BRIBING JOURNOS SHAME!!!!! THE LITTLE RESPECT I HAD IS COMPLETELY WIPED OUT!!!!!

  82. We have no evidence that you spent the whole amount you received. Why couldn’t you turn it down right at the venue if indeed you suspected bribery from the HE. Afterall when did news men start receiving good perks? Whem disd they start donating to the poor? Most important, when did they stop receiving bribes, bearing in mind that they actually seek bribes!

  83. Its funny that they said the envelopes contained presidential plans for the media yet it was a bribe. Haha olo kuopa cardiac arrest mpaka kumapanga silence ma journalist ko

  84. The total number of journalists was 80 and each of them received an average of K50,000.00.We therefore expect the needy in chirazulo to receive over K4,000,000.00.If it is not the case then the journalists are corrupt their integrity is also questionable because in this article you have not indicated how much was donated to the needy.I doubt if Garry Chirwa donated anything because he also looks needy.

  86. Thumbs up guys who have shown such charitable expenditure other than mocking the president and enjoying yourselves with the same bribe. I appreciate the lesson that has been given. I think he will put a full stop to bribery. ACB take steps here in cornering Him.

  87. JOURNOS,

    WE ARE HAPPY FOR THOSE WHO HAVE REJECTED THE BRIBE AND DONATED THE MONEY ELSEWHERE. BUT DONT STOP THERE. YOU NEED TO FIND OUT WHERE THE MONEY CAME FROM. WAS IT FROM APMs POCKET? WAS IT ANOTHER CASHGATE? FROM WHICH GOVT VOTE DID IT EMANATE? PLEASE DO THE DIGGING. THATS WHY WE NEED PRESIDENTS TO DECLARE THEIR ASSETS. KEEP THIS INFO FOR FUTURE USE AS THE PRESIDENT IS IMMUNED FROM PROSECUTION AT THE MOMENT. BUT MALAWIANS ARE WATCHING NOW. TIME WILL TELL.

  88. The law requires the journalists should report the bribery to ACB failing which they are also equally liable to corrupt practice of failing to report an offence.

  89. Well,it means people now are totally mature,the Prezident will be careful enough when discharging his duties.Bravo journalists,but Mr Tenthani watch your mouth,though i do like your articles very much,Muckracking on sunday.

  91. CORRUPT FREE MALAWI IS NOT POSSIBLE WITH THIS OTHER MUTHALIKA AS A PRESIDENT.FIRSTLY, PETER MUTHALIKA CORRUPTED NGO AND CHURCH LEADERS WITH BOARD MEMBERS APPOINTMENTS THEN NOW HE WANTED TO CORRUPT MOST INFLUENTIAL JOURNALISTS.MALAWIANS KNOW THAT ALL THIS IS HAPPENING IN BAD FAITH WITH HIS DIRTY AND LONG HANDS AIMED AT SILENCING ALL THE POSSIBLE WATCHDOGS OF OUR TAX MONEY SO THAT HE CAN START STEALING AND ACCUMULATING WEALTH JUST LIKE HIS LATE BROTHER BINGU MUTHALIKA DID WITH MK61 BILLION JUST IN 8 YRS FROM A MERE MK150 MILLION INCLUSIVE OF UNPRODUCTIVE ESTATES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    IF THE PRESIDENT’S BRIBING OF JOURNALIST WAS THE ADVICE FROM HIS USELESS TEAM OF ADVISORS THEN SURELY HE NOW HAS AMMUNITION TO FIRE THEM FOR THIS BIG PRESIDENTIAL EMBARRASSMENT AND DAMAGE.

  92. I appeal to the ACB to issue a Warrant of Arrest to ujeni for Bribing the media houses.
    Paja advert yanu ija imatimema ife kuti tikudziwitseni katangale akachitika, si choncho?
    KATANGALE WACHITIKATU……KOMWE KU STATE HOUSE.

  93. I appealto the ACB to issue a Warrant of Arrest to ujieni for Bribjng yhe media houses.
    Paja advert yanu ija imatimema ife kuti tikudziwitseni kqtangale akachitika, si choncho?
    KATANGALE WACHITIKATU……KOMWE KU STATE HOUSE.

  96. This is embarrassing for APM. I hope he will no one to blame but himself should the donors continue to shun the country. And he should consider removing this clueless and childish Nankumwa from the position as he is the architect of all these endless embarrassments.

  97. This is an open corruption by the President. MALAWI This is one of the best reasons why the PRESIDENT Who was sworn in by the COURTS CONTRAVESIALLY to be IMPEACHED. Koma a MALAWI kumbwambwana. shame on you MR PRESIDENT. You say the GOVERNMENT has no money, where did you get MWK 4 MILLION to bribe journalists? ACB, ” ARE YOU THERE?”

  98. Should we say all these journalists are acting in good faith by making the donations a week after pocketing the money from Mutharika? As far as I am concerned, it’s only Tukula who is being honest here . The rest are only doing it because the issue has been exposed .

    1. I disagree. The reason is lack of good moral stand – lack of discipline…most Malawians suffer from this..

  100. Kasakula is the man. To all of you scribes that have led by example by giving the money away we say thank you. Keep up the good work.

  101. That is wise journalist we are looking in malawi. I think this is not the end of goodwill, no daught u sacrifies ur this month salary to orphanage

  103. These guys r donating to charity ndalama from a bride? That’s not charity work, u should have taken the money to ACB and file a case to be heard 2019

  105. You will be mentioned in 92 bn cashgate report,APM didnt predict that, he is been cheated by bakili..THE WORST PEOPLE IN MALAWI ARE THE OLDER ONES,THEY ARE SELFISH AND EVIL,THEY ENJOYED THE BEST EDUCATION,HEALTH AND ALL GOODIES YET THEY DONT DO THE SAME TO US,MALAWI YOUTH WOKE UP THESE OLD DUDES WANT TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY,THEY THIEVES POWER HUNGRY AND SELFISH,LOOK AROUND IF THEY CARE WHETHER THE YOUTH ARE EMPLOYED OR GIVEN GOOD EDUCATION,LOOK AT JOBS THEY ARE ONLY FOR THEMSELVES EXPERIENCED ONES..SOON THE YOUTH WILL RISE AND YOU WONT LIKE IT.

  106. Those who have used the money without complaint are thieves just like Muntharika and have no right to criticize him and shud b put on trial for cirruption alongside their crooked president

  108. Bullshit jounalists,why can’t you just use the donation and do your job? Are you tryinng to get praise? Fuck you,do you think the president can buy you with that little money?

  110. I can’t believe that it is that to bribe media groups. You guys and your president compromised your integrity and work ethics. By receiving and using money for your own purposes, it is indication that you agreed with the evil plans of APM.

  116. APM, mwayalukatu apa. Mtolankhani siwochita naye zopusa ngati zomwe munachitazi. Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk! The whole President.

  117. Ligomeka ndi Tukula mwati mutibwatike nalo bodza apa. Ndalama munalandila and munapita nazo kwanu full stop. Zocitika from there ndi za inuyo ndiamene munakakumana nawowo basi.
    Ndalama imacoka thumba ilo kupita lina, so what happened sizacilendo ai. APM anakupasanani ndalama kaya ndizaboma kaya ndi zake inunso munayenera kukacita nayo ndalamayo kanthu and kanthu kake ndiakoko munakacitako uko munakapereka zinthuzo.
