Chilima not sponsoring demos- Patricia Kaliati

By Wadza Botomani

The Secretary General of United Transformation Movement (UTM), Patricia Kaliati has rubbished reports making rounds that Vice President Saulos Chilima is the architect of the demonstrations in the country.

Kaliati was speaking in Ntcheu on Saturday when she graced the launch of a football trophy in the area. She said that claims that Chilima is sponsoring demonstrations are baseless and work of propaganda aimed at tarnishing the party leader’s image.



Kaliati, who is also Minister of Gender, argues those fabricating such stories are enemies of progress with intent to distract the good relationship between President Lazarus Chakwera and Chilima.

Since President Chakwera stopped delegating duties to his Vice Chilima due to his involvement in the Zuneth Sattar Corruption scandal, Chilima came with a response where he requested the immunity of the President to be removed. Since then ,there has been a wave of demonstrations against Chakwera government asking for the President immunity to be removed , a situation that has led to some eagle eyed critics to work out that Chilima might be involved behind the scenes
