Tumbuka chief Chikulamayembe calls for stiffer penalties for corruption
Tumbuka Paramount Chief Chikulamayembe has called for stiffer penalties for persons convicted of corruption in Malawi.
Paramount Chief Chikulamayembe says one of the main factors fueling corruption in the civil service is that convicts are getting too lenient sentences for stealing public money.
“Corruption yakwera chomene… anthu akutola ndalama zaboma… chalo chanangika. (Corruption has risen tremendously and people are stealing government’s money. The country is rotten),” said Paramount Chikulamayembe demanding prompt action.
Chikulamayembe was speaking when he welcomed President Peter Mutharika at Bolero in Rumphi on Thursday.
Commenting on President Mutharika’s performance, Chikulamayembe, who is famed for frank talk told the gathering that he was impressed
The chief said he was convinced that Malawians shall give Mutharika another seal of approval for a second term come 2019.
Chikulamayembe then expressed concern over Malawi’s porous borders which have created room for more illegal foreign settlers in the northern region.
“Our borders are very porous foreigners are trekking in our communities and are doing well in business. But it is not easy for us to go in their countries, we cannot do that, our borders need to be secured,” he said.
President Mutharika is in Rumphi to launch the Rumphi—Nyika —Chiweta road.
And the chief of corruption was just starring at Chief Chikulamayembe. You can’t make this stuff up!
Dear my Chief Chikulamayembe,
You are dining with perpetrators of corruption while condemning the vice. Look no further than the fellow sitting on a red sofa in glasses next to Jappie. He is the masterminder of corruption in the country. It is widely believed that the first step in solving a problem is acknowledging its existence. To this fella, reports on corruption in the country are exaggerated. There is no corruption under his wise leadership. Corruption only existed during the JB two year term. We used to sing “follow the leader” during my primary school days. I guess this is what I am going to do from now onwards.
For a start, I am going to open a bank account to which I will be the sole signatory in the name of the company I am working for. This account will be used to receive donations and other payments for the company. This is not going to be the first time the country has experienced such an act. Do you remember some fellas at Blantyre Water Board who opened an account they used to defraud the board of millions? The only difference will be that while they used the account for sinister motives, I will use this account for prudent financial management.
I hope you are well.
Yours,
Charlie
Themba la Mathemba Chikulamayembe was in no way endorsing Mutharika for a second term. Reading the article between lines he first condemned corruption that it has escalated during mutharika reign. all malawians are aware that mutharika is entangled in corruption. He actually condemned him as well. That is how wise chiefs speak
Kkkkkkkklkkkiest. Chikulamayembe mwamala nadi. I know u r just saying that to get cash. No tumbuka with senses can vote DPP.
Agogo Chikulamayembe, Thanks a lot for condemning corruption your words are powerful. I would wish if you could go further to condemn Catholic Priests also since one of them took part in the killing of the albino by the name of Masambuka
Mfumu iyi iyiyi iyi, eeee eeesh! Chakwera ikumutemwa chomene!
