UTM’s Chilima says Malawi will be great when DPP ‘thieves’ are voted out

UTM Party presidential candidate Saulos Chilima has said  Malawi will be great country when people remove the governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) from power in  the May 21 Tripartite Elections, accusing the current administration of suffocating Malawians from getting quality life  due to wrongful enrichment.

Chilima: Time up for  DPP thieves

The UTM presidential hopeful, who is also State vice-president, said this at Njamba Freedom Park in Blantyre on Tuesday before a mammoth crowd as he wrapped up his Southern Region campaign.

Chilima told the rally which was televised that DPP has instructed every chief executive officer (CEO) of parastatal to donate K10 million to the campaign of the governing party.”These people [in DPP] are thieves and as evidence, they are nit satisfied with the money they have stolen; they have instructed every CEO of parastatal in the country to donate K10 million to DPP,” said Chilima.

He cited Malawi Communications Regulatory Authority (Macra) and Malawi Revenue Authority (MRA) as some of the institutions where money is being looted for DPP activities.

“At MRA they have bought new vehicles and some of them will be given to chiefs to corruptly make them help DPP in this election,” said Chilima.

He even gave details of the firm the vehicles have been insured with UGI Insurance .

Recently, Chilima also revealed that Macra has been topping the fuel card which the DPP officials have been using with K2 million a month.

Chilima warned Macra and MRA officials to clean their decks.

Despite Macra director general Godfrey Itaye is still under investigations into two multi-million kwacha contracts the regulator is alleged to have dubiously awarded in 2017, his contract was renewed recently.

The contracts in question include a K19 million supply contract Macra reportedly awarded to a business firm owned by a relation to Itaye  and another relating to printing of calendars worth K135 million.

The graft-busting body launched its investigations after receiving a complaint from a whistle blower on the alleged dealings.

Chilima said he will deal with corruption.

“Poverty is getting worse because of thieves. We are failing to develop agriculture in this country because of thieves. We should not be glorifying these thieves by christening them as Big Man. We are failing to develop education and road infrastructure because of thieves,” said Chilima.

Chilima said it is misuse and abuse of public resources.

Civil society organisations have been arguing that parastatal donations to ruling party contravenes the doctrine of public trust, the Constitution and the Public Finance Management Act.

Chilima’s remarks focused on agriculture, economic development and education while reminding the people about the power of the ballot paper.

Chilima expressed confidence and rolled his sleeves during that rally to show that he is ready to “serve” the people.

Earlier, Chilima’s running mate Micheal Usi said the country’s newest registered political outfit was satisfied it has delivered the message to the electorate.

The DPP has three main rivals in this election—Malawi Congress Party (MCP), which is in alliance with former president Joyce Banda’s People’s Party (PP) and Freedom Party (PP), Vice-President Saulos Chilima’s UTM and the United Democratic Front which has Minister of Health Atupele Muluzi as its torchbearer.

  1. Once UTM takes over the goverment next week, make sure, the DPPP crooks at Safemotherhood, MERA, NOCMA, MACRA, MRA are removed, investigated and arrested. These organisations are dragging the country’s economy backwards. NOCMA is giving contracts to foreigners especially Tanzanias to transport Malawian fuel at the expense of local transporters. The crooks at NOCMA and MERA are getting kickbacks from these foreigners. For each foreign tanker which enters Malawi, the DPP crooks get something. These evil DPP crooks don’t care about the Malawi economy at large; all they care is their pockets. NOCMA is led by a DPP cadet. These crooks have amassed wealth which they will need to return to the Malawi people.

    At Safemotherhood, the crook Chimwemwe Chipungu was the main thief. He has amassed so much wealth such that he is building over a dozen houses at once. This crook Chimwemwe had nothing just over 5 years ago. The crook Chimwemwe was working as a dog walker and a care assistant that time. 5 years on, he is building so many houses at once. As I am writing the abuse of funds meant for the Malawian people is continuing at Safemotherhood.

    At MRA, that woman the deputy commissioner general is another crook who is running MRA as a personal entity, victimising opposition people and anyone connected to the opposition. She is the one who is running dodgy businesses for Getrude Rango Mutharika.

    The story of abuse goes on. SKC should set a precedent by arresting all these crooks so that no one in future repeats the rampant abuse of public resources.

    UTM, purge and arrest the DPP crooks who are running the government parastatals.

  3. It is not right for you, bwana Chilima to blame DPP, because you are still part of it so too are your crones. You helped put this party in government by tricks crooked means. You share the blame for fueling poverty. Malawians are aware that you stole the 2014 votes therefore you are not a trusted person. The good part of the crowd did not register and therefore not voters. The only good thing is that you have raised standards for potentially charged MCP who have had enough preparations while you wasted time with DPP, expecting that APM would handover to you. What if he did? would they still be thieves?

  4. My reason for looking forward to next week Tuesday is to see an end to the foolish name calling nonsense by Arafat and his friends and competitors. I am fed up with this process. Why were they mute all this time?

  5. It started with Julius Malemia in South Africa,now Chilima in Malawi advocating African youthful leadership which can not be embraced this time around.It will take time for people of Bumphula,Tulonkhondo,Kasonjola andLelebzya to vote for you,Jang’ala boy.

  6. Timangomva kuti kuli Magufuli lero tapeza wathu in Saulos Chilima. Na munthu wa mzeru zake will not vote for any other. The ONLY DEAL is Dr Chilima. He has demonstrated he understands Malawi economy, its people and system extremely having visited every corner of the country. The message at Njamba was powerful. It was policy based. Never heard it before since the don of multiparty politics. Chilima has set the standards very high. I can assure you, the Lilongwe rally will be an explosion. He is really finishing BIG this young man

  7. kodi iweyo kubako wakuwona liti zaka zonsezi waba nawo ndiye anzako uzinena kuti ndi akuba, kodi umaona ngati amalawi ndi zitsiru eti uwona ngati utawine next wk iwe ndi mutharika nonse mukupakira MCP Bomaaaaaaa

  8. Hahahaha what did you expect from people who didn’t deserve office. People who would force themselves into power. What do you think was your aim of rigging the election. Blame yourself for imposing this Muthalika and yourself on us. You have made the five years sorrowful Panopa usalire. Because Muthalika did not honour your agreement of 1 term leadership. Musova ndipo muona kuti mupanga bwanji pa 21 May pano

  9. Principled MALAWIANS I know won’t vote for two vision less people in the names of CHAKWERA and PETER. There is ONLY one LEADER who has demonstrated tenacity, vision, wisdom, intelligence, knowledge, skill, and people’s welfare needed to steer Malawi to greater heights and this is none other than DR SAULOS KLAUS CHILIMA.

    VOTE UTM! VOTE DR SAULOS KLAUS CHILIMA!
