UDF appoints Dr Yusuf Mwawa as acting spokesman

United Democratic Front (UDF) has appointed former minister of education Dr Yusuf Mwawa as the party’s acting National Publicity Secretary.

Dr Yusuf Mwawa ( C) is acting UDF spokesperson

UDF secretary general Kandi Padambo made the announcement on Thursday , saying the appointment of Mwawa has been approved by party leader Atupele Muluzi.

“This follows the regrettable circumstances involving the arrest and subsequent charging of Ken Ndanga,” reads the statement in part.

Padambo further said Mwawa who is substantively the party’s National Director of Research will exercise the duties and responsibilities of the office of National Publicity Secretary until the judicial conclusion of the matter in which Ndanga is suspected to have been involved.

Ndanga is being charged with murder for his alleged involvement of ย torching UTM Party offices in Lilongwe which resulted in the death of three family members.

Selemani Tambala, a guard at the UTM offices, his wife Ayiles and son Shukuran were living in the office backyard and they died several days later at Kamuzu Central Hospital from severe burns arson attack.

Ndangaโ€™s case was committed to the High Court. He is yet to take plea or comment on the charges.

  3. Yusuf you have made a huge blunder. UDF is past it ‘Sell By Date’. King Bakili Muluzi and Prince Atupele are heading to prison, as King Muluzi has corruptly looted public funds from 1994 to 2004,

  4. UDF Leronso ??????????????????
    all problems we are facing today as a nation is because that party (udf) started them.
    corruption, killing, theft, regionalism, tribalism, cashgate…….just name it, they all started with Bakili and his dead party.

  5. Who can trust this hypocrit? He lost his job as a minister and leader in the house under Bingu, because he used public money to pay for his own wedding reception at Mount Soche Hotel. In fact he declared it as a workshop of his Ministry and paid with a government check! What a blessing for the wedding, himself, his wife and for his family?! –
    At least UDF has mercy with you!

  6. But Atupele you are very stupid indeed I say. You’ve appointed a man that stole govt funds to pay for his wedding to Diana???
    You want to rebuild or continue demolishing? Kodi mwasowa anthu a credible?

  7. For young ones who were not there. Yusuk Mwawa had stolen K165,000.00 from Malawians (Malawi Government) for his wedding with a second wife. He was arrested, tried and imprisoned with hardest labour. He will now be speaking for UDF. This is called recycled politics.

  9. Looks like he is a guy convicted and jail by Bingu administration and later he allegdly was hit by stroke. He got out of prison on medical grounds but was later seen walking in BT on his own and quit politics ………….

  10. UDF inatha basi because of dyera and bad government from 1994 to 2004. All this looting and corruption started with Bakili Muluzi. The political violence was started by YDs. The alliance with another bad party sealed the fate of Atupele Muluzi. Pezani zina zochita a Mwawa. By the way is Mwawa a medical doctor or one of those holding useless PhDs?

  13. Since when this medical assistant and ex convict become a Doctor? Please, respect the people who have medical degrees or PhDs. Or this one bought his too from columbia university like Zikhale Ngoma and the Cheif of Police or Ben Phiri, or the account? Uchitsilu a malawi,

    1. He is not a medical doctor but not a medical assistant as you are putting it. He is one of the first clinical officer Malawi trained. These guys are much better than most of the medical doctor s when it comes to work. He has a master’s degree from a well recognised American college
