  1. A malawi lets keep quiet and look forward to the government. I don’t have anything to comment otherwise you will find yourself behind bars.

  3. Yotamu koma umbava suzakutgera siuja unapanga forge degree ya engineering chonsecho unapanga environmental healthy pa poly.lako la 40 lakwana wabela ambiri

  4. Officials paid the money not only to meet the President but to give them the priority to see the President first than those people on the waiting list before them. Officials knows that meeting the President is for free by looking at their qualifications and positions in Malawi but they made their meeting to be so urgent than anyone else on the waiting list, thus how they met their fate. This tendency is common in hospitals, banks etc though the bribe is done in kind due to friendship and social interactions among them.

  5. my fellow malawians,,, are u buying this shit?? u mean u dont know that these are the acts of BEN PHIRI? akufuna atipusitse. i cant take it..dikilirani muone

  6. Before you arrest this couple you should arrest the corrupt official too. They paid the bribe so they are also guilty. Don’t use the youth as ponies. Chief Secretary paying to see his boss. So their is no direct communication between them. If he came across a plot by the VP to kill the president he would have no way to warn his boss. This case is revealing dangerous incompetencies in our present administration. So it is true that Ben Phiri has blanketed the president. Yaa koma dziko tinapatsa agaludi. Welcome to Lomweland

  7. It just shows that all these guys are corrupt. Why paying or giving something to see the “Chief”?

  8. Zautsilu! Kuonana ndi presdent amalipilitsa? Achita bwino kukudyelani chifukwa anaona kufooka, kupusa komanso kugona kwanu. Nane ndiyesetsa kupanga njila kuti boma limeneli ndilidyele basi, chifukwa anthu ake ndiophweka kuwapusitsa ndaona.

  9. It just tells us that there is no protocal observation in gvt offices hence ppl can easily use same ways as other aides are to defraud high ranking ppl. An exposed savage is worse compared to savagery without choice

  10. We are led by thieves who can bail out their cronies of their loans from the bank by using tax payers money.Pitala can make billions just by twisting his poor handwriting.So what do you expect from the youth who have no hope in their country?They look for shortcuts for quick riches.Nanga azingolemera yekha Ben Phiri ndi Pitala?Look at his girlfriend,it is all smiles enjoying the spoil from the loot mmene akunjoyela azimayi enawa from the loot of their husbands who are swindling govt of billions.Ndiye Malawi yotsapano.Hardworking is no longer important.Zinapita ndi malemu Kamuzu.Who doesn’t want to drive the latest Merc with a girlfriend Dorrobuchi akusinja pambali?Even Atcheya anatiuza kuti town chimafunika changu.

  11. How much was each robbed? Why did it need them to pay money to see their own leader, boss n president? Even the Chief Secretary paid money to meet his own boss in his own Ministry? It sounds a joke of the centuary and whoever started this madness must be ashamed for misleading this nation. I suppose it must be Muluzi’s regime.
    If corruption is started by Chief Secretary how about the rest?

  12. Koma zowona mpaka Chief Secretary kupangidwa chipongwe? Izi ndi za manyazi kwambiri. Anthu amenewa alongosole bwino. I don’t believe the story though. The Chief Secretary can not pay to meet his boss, the President.

  13. This doesn’t add up..this couple has been been Palm oiled actually like culprits…real presidential aide continues To collect money from amwenye,business people etc for favors of government contracts.This is just a movie,and Malawians are buying it…kwacha Malawi!wake up

  14. This goes to show the prevarent level of corruption we have in our country. You see these two copied what Ben Phiri was doing . All I can say is good for them for making themselves a little bit of money by copying the myopic and inept corrupt administration of Peter Munthalika. This administration is full of greedy and corrupt people. Why are people paying to see the president. This must have been common practice in government. The fish rots from the head. No wonder Ben is taking a fall for his corrupt master APM.

  15. AS AN INDIVIDUAL, IM TRILLED TO LEARN THAT THIS WONDERFUL COUPLE RELIEVED THE BIG GREEDY FISH OF SOME EXCESS BAGGAGE IN FORM OF MONEY. MY ADVICE TO THE COUPLE IS ‘PLSE DO DO THAT TO RURAL FARMERS,BUT CONCENTRATE IN CITIES AND IF POSSIBLE PAY MULLI A VISIT

  16. banja la chitsanzo ili..i thnk muzabereka ana anzeru ngat zanuzo…wherevr u r multiply ths stupid country needs mo ppo lyk u

  17. Yiooooh yotamu my classmate is being hunted by the police damn aweeeee ise mzimba secondary school produced fucki ducks neh,Tyson baloyi and sandfo nkhoma can you hear that

  18. Hahahahaha! Mpakana a chief secretary to govt being tricked??? dziko liri m’manja mwa ma crook ndithu!!!!

  19. Hahaha this is a joke. Be serious guys! These people cannot defraud people on behalf of HE. Maybe stealing thru chitaka but soliciting money to get an audience with the president. Something is taking Malawians for a ride ndithu!

  20. Firstly, It can not ever be true that the Chief Secretary would pay money to see his own president. Put it this way, a secretary paying to see a boss!!!!!!!! Nyasatimes, this IS A STUPID LIE. Please BE PROFESSIONAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

    However if any government official, other than the Chief Secretary did this. Then there has never been a stupid police service ever in this world, than the police service herein referred to. The first move is to arrest those not in hidding, like the referred to “man of God” and others.

    This couple needs an AWARD, surely. Perhaps they deserve a top post at DPP.

  21. I do not blame these very clever guys. They knew who the fools in were and made a killing. Leave them alone because they taught the stupid buffoons some good lessons, I hope they have learned something although with a bitter pill. How can the whole Chief Secretary be that sleepy?

  22. This is a sign of how corrupt this govt is, otherwise how do people give money to such individuals? they know how this govt operates and thats why they are swindled, they are just the unlucky ones

  23. anyone who knows where they are should not reveal. The Government must first arrest those corrupt officials who agreed to pay bribes in order to meet the state president. what a failed state!

  24. These top officials are stupid and very corrupt, they need to be investigated for bribery cases why should the pay money in order for them to meet the president?? Was the meeting official or for discussing there personal interest?? They are very wicked people they need to be fired and do not bother looking for the couple. Who appointed them to such positions???

  25. Uwu ndiye ubulutu weni weni! You mean even the whole chief secretary could pay someone in order to meet his own president? Arrest those who gave these people money! How could you? This is a high level of foolishnes, even the paster! Who is supposed to give money here? I cant understand! If the chief Secretary is afraid of the President then who could feel comfortable asking to meet the first citizen? Lets respect people but not fear them, that way we can work properly

  26. I new these people who are the tricksters that impersonate the presidential aide is a team of guys with names like the Mhangos. They must be from ….. region. They are crooks.

  27. Mpaka Georga Mkondiwa, Chief Secretary? Koma abale umbuliwu!!!! Kukula konsekuja ndi maphunziro onse aja a Mkondiwa zoona?? Sukulu siichotsa uchitsiru mwa munthu ndawonera GM!!! Being a chief secretary, why bribe? I thought you guys talk with arthur’yo mathanyula on phone? shaa

  28. Really a govt official bribing for cash to meet the president?its awkward and bizzare don’t they know the procedure? Bodzatu.these are lame excuses for sure leave the couple alone.why would they not pass through Ben Phiri?I think they are the ones who want Ben to be chopped

  29. inuyo a boma stop demanding money from, parastals. Ben Phiri is one of the people who threaten parastatal chief executives to get money. anthu akutengera inuyo. maka a ku statutory corporation ndi ku treasury ndi Ben Phiri

  30. Lets be serious for once guys, how can someone as big as the mentioned people above pay bribes just to meet there own president……i think there is something fishy these guys at these higher offices do. Poor Malawi

  31. zitsiru ndi opeleka ndalamawo. we survive in town by kudyera mbuzi. well done guys

  32. Atupele ufela zaweni popeza sukumatimvela zoti utuluke m,boma la DPP popeza azakuonongela mbiri ndikuzakutayanso kapena kukuonongela CV yako ybwino ija.

  33. Trevor Kandoje is another crook and a womaniser in town.The wife works ku Road Traffic and survives on bribes as well.Its sad that as a country we are letting people of this calibre to survive through bribes.

  34. These officials were giving bribes, instead of arresting the couple arrest the officials. Why would one pay alot of money to meet their own president?

  35. What is actually on the ground that these people could take advantage of?
    Why should someone of authority accept to pay money for meeting the president. What was the consideration? Is this part of the tradition in our country?
    Some stories create wrong impression for our management systems?

  36. DONT BLAME THIS LOVELY AND CLEVER COUPLE, BLAME THE CORRUPT OFFICIALS WHO WANTED TO PAY THEIR WAY TO SANJIKA. THESE ARE BRUTES WHO CAN NOT DO ANYTING WITHOUT OFFERING A BRIBE.
