Comrade Ntanyiwa has issued a fiery call to arms, urging Malawians from all walks of life to rise up and prevent what he describes as the siphoning of K7 trillion into the pockets of corrupt judges while hospitals lack medical supplies and hunger ravages the nation.
The activist was reacting to the recent ruling by the Malawi Supreme Court of Appeal, which ordered the Reserve Bank of Malawi (RBM) to compensate the now-defunct Finance Bank—an institution whose owner voluntarily ceased operations in Malawi in 2005 amid money laundering allegations. Ntanyiwa argues that this judgment is definitive proof that corruption has completely infiltrated the Judiciary.
He stressed that the K7 trillion burden would not fall on politicians from any specific party but would ultimately be extracted from the pockets of ordinary Malawians through taxes. In a bold and defiant statement, Comrade Ntanyiwa assured the Supreme Court of Appeal judges that the Government of Malawi, belonging to its poor citizens, will never pay this sum. “If they are to be paid,” he declared, “it will be in Heaven.”
To combat the ruling, Ntanyiwa is mobilizing the masses for a massive, coordinated day of demonstrations across Blantyre, Lilongwe, Mzuzu, and Zomba. He envisions a nationwide shutdown of all Judiciary offices to signal global outrage against what he calls a corrupt scheme to steal from the poor. He has called on shop owners and businesspeople to down their tools and join the protests.
Questioning the legitimacy of the claim, Ntanyiwa pointed out that the same bank was closed in Zambia in 2010 for similar offenses, yet the owner has not pursued legal action there. “Why is this only happening in Malawi?” he asked, suggesting that the local Judiciary is being unfairly targeted.
He further advised President Peter Mutharika that these judicial officers are working against his leadership, pledging that the “Make Malawi Great Again” agenda would defend the President and the new administration from such judicial overreach.
Ultimately, Comrade Ntanyiwa framed the fight as a matter of national survival. He argued that the K7 trillion at stake could purchase new ambulances for district hospitals and even provide vehicles for the Judiciary itself, urging all citizens to refuse to let corrupt judges destroy their country.
