When loyalty is a crime, a case of Malawi Presidential aide

1. i don’t think so

2. koma pamalawi inu, zoona munthu kukhala pulezdent wa dziko with 35 % of total votes? inu a PAC, sort out this issue b4 2019 otherwise, at some point, anthu adzagawanapodi dzikoli, based on a party’s stronghold. ma electoral law review anu take long indeed.

3. James Mwangali, ukudya nawo iweeee. Tachokani apa, mudzikaputsitsa anthu ena uko? Za zii basi. Ntata ndi anthu ambiri, anagwira ntchito zotamandika, koma pamene mwatola chithumba mukungodya nokha. Tinene zoona, a Allan Ntata alipotu ambiri, ndipo posachedwapa muyaluka ananchidwe inu.

   State House, yangodzadza ndi inu nokha nokha pa chibale panu. Ben Nkasala Phiri, Presidential Aide, Martin Nkasala Phiri, Deputy, L.R.M., K.R.M etc etc, tikukuonani tu. Tsopano, mwalowetsanso anthu ambiri achibale mumalo onona okha okha. Anthu wopanda mayina, mwawatayira kutali kopanda makobiri. Ndipo ena akungotuwa basi. Samalani, zizakuvutani tsiku lina, ili ndi dziko

4. This article is so bad that even a standard 8 chap could have done better. I don’t see the main issue or subject matter other than defending Ben Phiri for his royalty to APM. The writer himself apologises for not knowing ben Phiri and yet through out the article he repeats himself again and again as to what Ben has done. What he does not tell us is what ambitions (the writer) has now that he has sounded the drums for Ben? This is a waste of space. hand clapping will not get you any where.

5. ili ndiye bodza moti amene agwira a peter wo ndiye njuchizi sizikanawaluma njuchizi zimangofuna munthu mmodzi basi (peter)

6. This article is a bunch of rubbish. It does not explain why Ben Phiri is royal to the president. What’s in it for him other than haboring presidential ambitions? We all know the role Ben Phiri played in the rigging of elections. The conversation between APM and Ben to drop off voting boxes around BT with a few votes in them to make it look as if there were plans to cheat. All these things need to be brought up. Ben Phiri is not just a stooge to the president but rather a man who has advanced APM’s cause in swindling state resources. He is the one who could not write . He made a $ sign appear like an 8 all these things are not mentioned here. Should I then conclude that the writer is royal to Ben phiri considering the myopic nature of the article? Ben Phiri can be said to be one of the people who is misinforming the president. Who walks on a red carpet when going to a funeral? who walks on a red carpet planting trees or shovelling dirt.? These miscalculations are not by error but rather it is a sign of inept and clueless advisers who think licking the president’s ass will advance their cause.

7. What a wonderful and good article. You have made very correct observations and critical analysis of Hon. Ben Phiri. I am not a DPP supporter but I totally agree with you that he is loyal to APM. A person who is loyal can be seen when life is tough and when everybody has run away (John 6:66 – 69).

8. Ben Phiri and Nicholas Dausi are people who know their value when they love a person they do it with Kamuzu’s four corner stone osati zomwe atidye nawo enawa amapanga zoti munthu akamalowa mu zenje kumutaya bolani zawo ngati zili bwino

9. That idiot the Primeminster is not loyal his a dishonest and can’t be trusted , it’s true that his aim is at the number 1 seat , his a crook

10. Just look at Ntata’s hair’s sytle. It shows this guy is childish not worthy close to APM. Ntata you are too stupid. Leave Ben alone. No matter what lies you tell about Ben he will be always close to APM because he is loyal. By the way do you know that Ben was at one point elected to stand on DPP ticket in a parliamentary election, but he reliquished his candidature to pave way for APM. A person holding a presidential ambition could have not done. NDIPO NTATA WUKUNDIYASA. NTATA WUKUNDINYANDUSYA. THUPITI

11. Comment
    Malawians are jealousy used to handouts pakakhala njoka balala pakatuluka mbewa njanga njanga

12. Comment…..stupid

13. ‘Number10 See for yourself’ is correct this is a wrong picture for the article. It really looks like one who is being supported from falling . Oh Ben you should have looked for a better photo to use since you are the author of the article.

14. this is a very feminine discussion.

15. I have been following the comments both for the article en those against the article. What is clear is that while those for the article are able to prove their case with examples…those against the article have literally failed to prove their case except a manifestation of hatred and further wild accusations, that thet cant either prove. This article has indeed exposed how empty Ntata en his likes utterances are. Njiru sithandiza, simanga mudzi.

16. All said and done, one can clearly see that Ntata has access to the president as he lightly aluded to himself by saying ” when you ask for an audience with the president, he says let me ask my aide first”. Now from this one can conclusively conclude that he has access already to the citizen number one but citizen number one does not want to meet this Ntata guy coz the president knows him very well and what kind of advice he gives. Malawians let’s not forget that the president was at the eclons of power when Bingu was the president and he knows each and every advisor his brother had as well as what type of advice each one of them can give. Actually he is avoiding a repeat of mistakes Bingu made because the Ntatas of this world. What a clever president Peter is. Ntata is a bitter and frustrated being as he thought the prof is puppet who would just pick anybody even those who deserted the body of the late Bingu and fled to the Queen land. Bingu a blood brother to the prof, come on give me a break. Unfortunately Ntata is doing what psychologists call projection,i.e he wants the whole nation to share his frustration and bitterness. No we are not ready and you are not going to win our sympathy.

17. This article lacks factual substance. Each element of loyalty should have been backed with an example. In Ben’s case, the examples are many e.g. kupolama for the presidents shaft.

    He’s loyal like a dog. Komanso ntchito Ya aide ndikugwedeza shaft Ya a president akamaliza kukodza.

18. A john mwanena zoona ife tinaonda ndikuperekeza kumisonkhano ya campaign koma lero tingayandikire? Ayi akudya ndi mudzi wa kwao basi. Ndipemphe a busa amodzi akachite mapemphero amphamvu ku state house kuti akachotse ziwanda chifukwa mwina president akulephera kupanga ma decision payekha because of some evil forces around him

19. Mwawatumbuka imwe sanje. Lembaninge nkhani zinu izo kweni boma muzamulamulilapo yayi.

    1. You are a big fool, a nincopomp. Nkhani za ntata na ben phiri zikukhuzana ndi aTumbuka?. Idiot. And who is running the legislator and judicial organs of government. Stupid zako

20. Asaaa! Zankhutu. Odini nkathyole dowe nidye niwana wanga.

21. Izi alemba okha. Loyalty or no loyalty mutisegulire gate nafe tizitha kuwonana ndi bwanawo mmene tinkachitira nd Bingu. Musaapanirire nokha ayiii. Nafe tinaavotera chifukwa chokuti tinali loyal

22. #ujeni…it doesn’t matter wat someone was in the past…wat matters is wat smbdy can do or achieve in life…. in life we have seen nobodies becoming “kings” after working hard …pple say he was just a mere crossborder vendor, wats wrong with that? I thought people do that to improve their lives….bola mukanati chinali chigawenga & a previous convict..koma doing bzness!…is there any crime in doing bzness?….taona mavenda ife oti analimbikira nkutukuka pano inu mutha kumakapemphako 1-30 koma osachimaliza chuma chawo…. .vuto ndinuyo anthu oziyeneleza oti u feel u alone can do beta wat others r doing in their positions, u feel u r more deserved to b where he belongs….vuto limeneli ndilalikulu ku Malawi kuno ndipo anthu ambiri apeza nalo mavuto…anthu ena mumaziyeneleza u don’t respect wat others do koma mukhale muli inu mukupanga zomwezo ndiye zimakhala zanzeru….as othrs have rightly said, Ben Phiri waona zokhoma , wakunthidwa, kuotcheredwa galimoto, being victimised in many ways plus ya ku Mount Soche ija….this was bcoz of his loyalty to his DPP koma sanafooke, sanamuthawe bwana wake….if u don’t know this ndiye kuti munali mukudyerera u cudnt notice kuti ena amazunzika….ndiye kodi loyalty yake mwaidziwa pano? bwanji osanyatsidwa nayo loyalty yake muja akuvutika muja….NGATI PALI ZOMWE AKULAKWITSA MUKAGWIRIDWE KAKE KA NTCHTO JUST CORRECT HIM, OTHER THAN ATTACKING HIM UNNECESSARILY… HE WAS AMERE XBOARDER VENDOR, he worked hard for himself taking up the opportunities falling on his way mpaka now NDI MFULU so don’t hate him for this just correct him where he is wrong…if he is blocking anthu ena first find out wat kind of pple he is blocking….coz pali ena anathawa chipani kumusiya APM & crew(akadali confused ndi maliro….tsogolo lisakuoneka bwinobwino) ali mmavuto, achina Ben & other big DPP gurus anachisunga chipani chili mmavuto nkuchimenyela nkhondo…..ndiye pano othawa maliro aja akubwera nkumafuna kuti iwowo akhalenso ma bonafide members as it was b4, they want to be in the centre circle & akhalenso mashasha…that’s not on….bola abwere mozichepetsa osati kudzalamulira…WHERE BEN IS WRONG JST CORRECT HIM, u can use the same social media u r using to despize him…ngati ali wanzeru akumverani asintha where u correct him…but DONT HATE HIM COZ OF HIS BACKGROUND… MWAI SUFANANA…

    1. Running government is serious business, its not like street vending. Is he conversant with geo-polical issues, economy, globalisation or foreign policy?

23. Very good analysis. Ndimakumbukira Ben seated at Civo stadium wth APM literally deserted, en I even recall that FAM was advised not to entertain APM then. The professor went thru a lot but that youngman was always there for him. He understands APM en likewise APM understands Ben. Ndiye vuto liri pati? Bravo Ben, keep doing your job, forget akawalala enawa ofuna kukolola pomwe sanabzale.

24. what has been written here by the author is totally irrelevant.ntata is not question ben phiri’s loyalty but his tendency of hijacking presidential powers.ntata is questioning ben phiri’s illegal acquisition of presidential authority.in may 2014 we elected APM to be the head of state not ben phiri.i am a member of DPP’sNGC,throughout the campaign period i watched how this ben phiri manipulate APM ,imagine the party elected herny mussa to be its treasurer but this ben phiri twisted APM not entrust mussa with any finances.instead all party finances were being handled by him.all party materials were being bought by him.the secretary general was powerless,everything was being done by him.because of this guy’s hunger for power,the party is failing aparty.recently senior party members met in blantyre to discuss this.it was agreed to start looking for another person to be a torchbearer in the next elections if this trend continues.

25. Ntata and his likes finally exposed. The guy is confused, frustrated, bitter you name it. All ths wz due to wrong assumptions, he assumed he will be one of the heavy weights around. No wonder he instantly appeared the moment the DPP was declared victorious, just as he instantly disappeared wen the Bingu died. Coincidence indeed.

26. author wa article iyi zoonadi akufuna adye nawo! koma ngati ndi ben phiri angofuna kukonza ndi ku tsuka zitosi zonunkha za nkhuku ya pa mazira zomwe adadzipakazi! ben uli pa vuto chifukwa ukununkhabe! peza zochita…

27. Koma you can laugh, akuti what was Ben Phiri doing, what’s was Bakili doing before being a President or what was Dumbo Lemanu doing before football. Ben is a good progress from whatever he was to seat of power. Ine ndawelenga zonse Kodi anthu akuti chikulakwika ndi chani, and Ali ndi nkhani yanji Yakuti akaone President. Those that have an objective agenda tikumawaona mpaka atolankhani. nkhani si Ben Phiri, sakulakwitsa kumubisa bwana kwa anthu amabodza ndi amantha. Anathawa ntembo pano akukuwa, stupid shut down and find a career. Peter akazayamba kulakwitsa tizalankhula mosaopa, Ben Phiri akazayamba kulakwitsa kapena bwana wake a Malawi azadziwa mulekeni adyelele

28. Ntata is spending great amount of brain power to get even with Ben instead of spending it on production. hate is a prolonged form of suicide.Ben should not waste time with Ntata.

29. No one is disputing Beni’ loyalty but the way he is displaying the loyalty. If a person is loyal doesn’t mean that he should build a fence so that others shouldnot reach President. This is what pple are against and Ben should understand even the President himself should know that Ben is building an Empire for himself.

30. Ben is the power behind and anyone that crosses his path basitu.problem with Ben is that he believes miseche and miseche yomweyo he takes kwa Bwana ake who does not bother to verify.People ayamba not liking APM because of Ben.Another believer wamiseche is Chisale

31. Wawawa

32. Tangonenani Kuti Mukufuna Kususa Nawo Mmbale Imeneyi. Nanu Mukufuna Akupatseni Kaudindo Kapena Ka Envelope Ka Khaki. Tsoka Kwa Inu Mukupembedza Ndalama!

33. kodi walakwanji Ben Phiri abale?? Anthu adyera amaoneka pamene safunira anzawo zabwino koma iwo okha. Boma luli bwino ili. Chonde musabweletse chisokonozo anthu osakhulupiluka inu.

34. Mwangalli, you are by far missing the point. I don’t think anyone is doubting Ben’s loyalty to Peter. It is when this loyalty crosses the boundaries beyond the duties of a personal assistant into influencing and shaping the way the govt is run that is being questionned. Otherwise what is the point of having a vice president and cabinet if they are not going to be listened to by the president who pays more attention to what his personal assistant says on govt matters? That is what is coming across from ntata’s revelations and it is very worrying indeed as to the capabilities of our president.

35. Kkkkkk koma ukubisala ku nsana kwa president cholinga kuti njuchizo zisakulume iweyo kkkkkkkkk, pamenepa ndipamene APM angadziwile kuti site wa genuine.

36. We admire the loyalty of this “prime minister”. The only thing is he does not have to control government as he is doing. Let his duties be those of a personal assistant to the president and not meddle in governance. The “PM” has money we are told, I will not be surprised if I hear the author has been palm oiled to write good of the “PM”. This is Malawi where anything happens

37. Walemba yekha Ben Phiri izi

38. The author is trying yo be loyal to Ben Phiri too in times like these.

39. Some of us know ka Ben Phiri, dont be fooled. Even him ka Ben Phiri being an advisor to a President was an an unthinkable thing. What was ka Ben Phiri doing pre Peter Mutharika or Bingu Presidency, thats the question you should be asking. This is a guy who was doing vending and cross border trade. Today he is advising the president how to run the country. Are we serious us Malawians really?

40. Comment: Peter Mutharika was never victimized. His arrest was prompted by a report by a lawfully constituted commission of inquiry chaired by a Judge of the Supreme Court. Late Bingu wa Mutharika family was not victimised. What Malawians are expecting is a new DPP and not the one that brought Malawi to her knees by 5th April 2012.

41. People has no problem with his loyalty just like aliyense whether in cabinet or state house are loyal to APM.At State House in terms of protocol,the most senior person is the Director General in this case Mr Mukhito.Why are people not talking of him?issue is that Ben ndiamene akuwaipisa anzake including APM’s relations.He wants only him and his relations or friends to have govt positions thus why Ntata is able to say he has ambitions.Advice to Ben is that be nice to people,empathise their suffering as a result of him and let professionals do their jobs.He has tentacles paliponse such that he is the power behind.The only person who did that at State House was Ken Zikhale Ng’oma but we all know mmene anathera. Izi anthu a kuona it will come a time people may like APM but may not vote for him kungoganizira what Ben Philip has done.Change Ben Phiri plz For the sake of the Party

42. Well written article , palibe ndi modzi yemwe angasangalale ndi nkhalidwe la mwana wa m’busa uyu Ntata , munthu kufikira pousiya mtembo wa mbuye wake usanaikidwe m’manda kuthawira kunja. Amzake kuzunzika kuno kenako zinthu nkuyenda bwino ndiye iye amafuna munthu wamkulu asiye anthu anasausidwa naye atenge chindere ngati iyeyo, fokufuuu

43. Just also refer to links of Obama and his personal assistance. Ben Phiri deserves to be close to Peter whatever Ntata writes to create a gap between Peter and Ben. the two will be together. he knows his moods and his feelings. and peter would not do right to remove Ben because of rantings from this frustrated embicile Ntata

44. What a shallow article! Loyalty foes not mean bulldozing others, calling the shots even when you shouldn’t. Allan has brought to bear your true character Ben Phiri, aka Mwangali. Your article is blank in true sense.

45. Great article. By now disgruntled Malawians must accept that a personal assistant is the president as a person.By the way, where were you when Peter was Peter? You were the people who laughed at both Peter and Ben. Now you want to claim you would want to contribute ideas to Peter? Shame on you

46. The writer has failed to attack the issue at hand which Mr Ntata raised that the president is being controlled by Mr Ben Phiri and that puts him a defacto prime minister. Also the writer has failed to advise Mr President on mediocre decisions such as writing on walls. In short the writer must have been paid by Mr Ben Phiri who now has a cool K800 million. Mr Ntata was there in the circle and knows Ben well therefore is writing from vantage. The writer of this article seem to be bankrupt academician that is educated but uncivilised. The big problem this country has is that it has two categories of people with two distinct problems. Category 1: Illiterate who think along tribes and with shallow reasoning thus why they vote for mediocre leaders. Category 2: educated but uncivilised thinking primitively along tribes and regions also voting along tribes and regions. The writer of this article falls on the second category. Shame!

47. Problem on Ben Philip is not loyalty but kuipisa anzake kwa APM and once you cross path with him sakhululuka and APM follows the same thus why people are against him.On his position panali Chimwemwe Kajawo but he never showed those traits.The other problem with Ben is that he is not appreciating the role others played during the campaign.If you check those people that have engulfed APM you will find that siabale ake but relations of Ben.Even those being appointed in various positions are abale or friends of Ben.APM saziwa anthu ambiri but Ben.He has wielded so much power kuposa the VP and the Chief secretary thus why it is raising eyebrows and hence Ntata’s point.Don’t underestimate Ntata akuyankhulira anthu ambiri kuchipani thus why James if you go pa DPP page you will find very few people commenting against Ntata.This story iweyo have been told to spin for Ben just like what Martin did dzulo posting a picture ya HE and Saulosi yet you and me know Saulosi is being sidelined coz of the same Ben.

48. Nice article

49. Those who defected during BINGU death, were not putting loyalty elsewhere as you claim. They were pushed to observe the CONSTITUTION of the country by what was happening during those ‘three mad days’ in April

50. Ahaaa, wina wakwiya apa!

51. This article is from a person who does not know at all or knows too little about loyalty, this is the same loyalty that ministers Jean kalilani and Kondwani Nankhumwa were talking about facing a blind eye to things that are seemingly going wrong at an expense of loyalty while at the same time forgetting the consequences of doing so. The type of loyalty the writer has described here to me and all well meaningful Malawians is what we call blind loyalty not knowing or separating virtues and vices , for your own information Mr writer this guy (Ben Phiri) is causing more damage to the so called president of yours than good he has helped him to create more enemies than friends therefore such a loyalty is utterly nonsense and unacceptable.

    1. Please give example of the damage and not the stupid access to the president and looking for a job. That has nothing to do with Malawians

       1. Please help me to understand what this DPP cadet in the name of Kahuma saying I can hardly grasp what he is trying to say. I suggest he should write in his own language than the queen’s language.

52. Kkkkkkkk, tamangodyani nawo inu musatithere nthawi kuwerenga zinthu zopanda pakezi. The so called author must be a fool, how does he defend someone he doesnt know when people who know this someone testify that he is evil? “ali dele nkulinga utayenda naye” so please, shut up!

53. CommentCorrect

54. Mwangali mukuziwana muululana talk to my persona assistant alomwe inu mukhapana simunati

55. true facts

56. When loyalty is being abused to disadvantage others its no linger loyalty. JZU abused loyalty to kill others. Good loyalty is what Makileni displayed. He used his closeness to Jb to advantage of disadvantaged Dcs and others. But when you become chipsyinjo to others in the name of loyalty nobody will appreciate it. Ben Phiri within 9 months has put many people out of job. Pss for no reasons are removed from offices probably without peter knowing all this. His time is out for sure.

57. No sense in stuff

58. This piece of writing is not compelling and lacks substance. U can’t be emphasing the same point throught. Why try to distance yourself from knowing Ben

59. Following these “battle of the minds with keen interest” later on will lay my conclusion. Koma must admit, reading views from both concerned parties is kinda intertaining.

60. Your article is shallow and lacks substance and clear examples to even come close to arguing with Ntata’s sentiments. In case you have forgoten( or you just don’t know), Boko Haram, Al Shabaab, Al Queada and all those Islamic extremist groups are “loyal” MUSLIMS. According to you, what they are doing, beheading people who disagrees with their view of life needs praise? That’s how shallow your argument is. Mulli Brothers owes MSB billions and all “loyal” aides sorrounding APM wants their loan forteited so they do not pay it back, at the expense of poor malawians, then the NACgate, then the “redeployments-gate”, then the painting of prison walls( which is a gvt property by the way, NOT A DPP- PARTY property, assuming you know the difference), all these are done out of “loyalty”, at our expense, at what cost? You have that blind loyalty or you know what you are doing but you wont fool Malawians, sucker!
    The big question you should tried answering, knowing that you can’t argue with Ntata, is that why are Mulli Brothers and Ben Phiri so desperately “loyal” to APM?

61. True

62. Good description indeed

63. Most unfortunate you may not know who is more royal to the other because their feathers are the same.

64. So what is wrong if Ben Phiri is planning to run for president? If we have jokers in the names of the Katsonga brothers, Kamlepo Kaluwa, John Chisi, Joyce Banda all running for the post! Damn, we even had a JC wielding convicted felon as president! Ndiye ngati Ben Phiri akufuna uprezident musiyeni si mlandu ndi ufulu wache. Inunso ngati mukufuna teroni!

65. I have never seen a trash of an artical like this here on Nyasa Times before. Of course am on Ntata’s side

66. You are addressing the wrong issue Mr Mwangana. Ben Phiri’s loyalty isn’t the matter. It’s his underworld cobra manoeuvres with APM that are a matter of concern. A personal assistant who advised a president to descend so low and write graffiti in a prison wall, nyapala style, is very risky.

67. U HAVE COMPLETELY MISSED THE POINT. 4 BEN PHIRI TOB LOYAL TO APM IS NOT THE ISSUE HERE. INFACT, THAT IS EXCELLENT. THE ISSUE IS BEN PHIRI IS running THE COUNTRY WITHOUT OUR MANDATE. WE MALAWIANS CHOSE D PROFESSOR NOT BEN. BEN IS SO PRECIOUS TO APM THAN AUNTIE GETU, BEN CAN fire ANYONE AT STATE HOUSE, AM SURE BEN SLEEPS ON D SEM BED WITH APM N THAT’S WHAT MALAWIANS DON WANT BROTHER.
    IF UR OLD ENOUGH, THAT’S THE loyalty MALAWIANS DIDN’T LIKE DURING KAMUZU/TEMBO ERA

68. Mwangali wadya bwinotu polemba article iyi. Mbuyache ndigaileko nane ndigule sikono

69. But that does not give you the blank cheque to rule the people who have not elected you to any position

70. Walemba ndi Ben Phiri yemweyotu nkhaniyi. He has a stinking side of manipulation and selfishness and not what the article describes as loyalty here

71. I just love this analysis. Samakuziwa iwe Ntata ndi ndani? Kunakwana Bingu yemwe munamusokoneza uja, pano forget it. Ben had shown us what loyalty should be osati anthira kuwiri enanu.

72. Those of us who knew Ben before he joined politics when he jst came frm the UK & selling trucks here agree that he has been very Loyal to the Prof for sure,he nearly got killed at Mount Soche for his loyalty after being beaten by political opponents.Ntata knows what being a presidential aide is even a company CEO has a PA.One’s frustrations should not let others enjoy the benefits of their loyalty and be smeared with unfounded garbage accusation’s.

73. Mr. Mwangalli you ve put it as it is. I ve enjoyed the summary characteristics of loyalty en that is wat it should be. Anthu ambiri anamuthawa professor, ena samafuna kuwonekera, ena osamuyankha ndi fone komwe, komwe koma mnyamata uyu Ben aliyense amamuona kuti anatumikira Mutharika panthawi yovuta ngati imene ija. Ena akuchita phokoso lerowa anali atathawa mdziko muno. Ena anali mommuno koma anabisala. Nanga lero kwagwanji kuti afune lero ndilero kukhala pafupi ndi Mutharika. Indeed lets not demonise loyalty. Bambo Allan Ntata zipatseni ulemu, anthu akuziwa kuti ndinu munthu okwiya chifukwa zanu sizikuyenda. Timaziwa munamusocheretsa Bingu, ndiye lero mukuti chani?

74. Comment Bravo Ben Kkkkkkk

75. Ben Philo is the Prime Minister and I mean it. No one even Saulosi Chilima sees the President without him approving. Ntata must not be jealousy about it. Ben Phiri has accumulated wealth more than the president and that is why he is buying MSN with Thom Mpinganjira his best friend. To see Ben himself takes you five months of waiting to see this Prime Minister. Leave him alone.

76. Kkkkkkkjkkkkk mixiiiiiiiiii

77. Very objective, precise and informative article. No sane malawian can question Ben’s loyalty to Prof Mutharika. The guy went through a lot but he remained with Mutharika, when even some of Mutharika’s friends deserted him. Ndiye lero zaipa coz APM is now Head of State?

78. there is no loyalty loyalty of treason there were no difficuty times for the proffesor apart from treason anagonabe mu cell we will see the loyalty in 2019 no more rigging of votes

79. Nkhanga zaona.

80. From the picture shown here , nobody else in the audience seems to be worried about a swarm. Of bees !
    The aides seem to be intent on propping up APM than on “protecting from the bees ”
    Was he experiencing an uxpected epileptic fit ?

81. Presidents in Africa always have such kind of people around them – Charles Njonjo, John Tembo etc. They used to be famous for wearing striped suits.

82. It’s hard to trust you once again,we witnessed you, desert your comrades,when they SEEMED vulnerable (when big Kahuna droped dead) all your jibes, are sour grapes,COWARD of the COUNTY.

83. I totally agree I know Ben phiri personally he has been loyal to APM just as I have been loyal and true to DPP during the hardest time we believed that DPP is going to win we worked hard tirelessly so did Ben. Now nthawi yokudya yakwana nde mukuti pabwere ndani? Zero Ben ndi ma cadet amasuke Viva DPP, Viva APM, Viva SKC, Viva ma cadet.

84. You are wrong my friend, Ben Phiri is just another John Tembo. He did all those things for his interest sake.

85. Is this loyalty? No my brother what Ben Phiri is doing is treason. He is taking advantage of APM’s lethargic leadership to advance his own cause to the detriment of the nation. The situation is made worse by an incompetent Chief Secretary who has completely forgotten his job description.

86. Wat a gud descrption of wat loyalty z.

87. we r made to believe dat he is bad, so we make our conclusion. May be he is not such bad as his adversaries are putting it. I don’t think he is worse than most of us

88. It looks like Ntata has successfully smoked you out ! Welcome into the arena !
    Nobody has challenged your loyalty, in times like these , loyalty is a rare commodity and its highly valued . BUT BUT Mr Ben Phiri userpping powers of Government that are not given to you by the constitution is what one Allan was urging about !

89. Mr Mwangalli, Speak to my assistant
