End of the road- gone too soon UTM

By Linda Kwanjana

On 21 July,  2018, the then UTM President who was also Malawi Vice President Dr Saulos Klaus Chilima launched the party at the magnificent ceremony which took place at Masintha Ground in the capital city Lilongwe.

During the launch, Chilima unpacked the mission statement, vision and aspirations.

During the launch there were pillars of the party who were destined to as possible members to takeover the party .

Little did Chilima who was commonly and famously known as SKC knew that some one dishonest people will mortgadge the party to strangers.

UTM SNATCHED 

All people who surrounded the SKC are all away from the executive Committee. The institutional memory is gone with the coming in of arrogant leaders led by Dalitso Kabambe.



PEOPLE FROM CENTRAL REGION ALSO SNUBBED

The people from the central region are all out of power. These include former director of women ,Anne Makuta, Director of Welfare a Banda, and Mr Kambala all are not even closer to the new leadership.

DPP PROJECT

Its now no longer secret that this arrangement is purely the DPP project and this is the end of the road for the once strong UTM.

NAP condemns stoning of Kunkuyu convoy

By Linda Kwanjana

National Advocacy Platform (NAP) has condemned the stoning of Minister of Information and Digitalization Moses Kunkuyu’s convoy that happened Ndirande in Blantyre saying this represents an alarming escalation of lawlessness and political intolerance.

In a press statement which NAP chairperson Benedicto Kondowe and NAP National Coordinator Baxton Nkhoma jointly signed expressed concern about deliberate creation of “no-go-zones” which undermines the fundamental principles of democracy including freedom of movement, association as well as political participation.



“These violent acts are an affront to Malawi’s Constitution and international human rights commitments, signaling an alarming shift towards political intolerance and lawlessness,” reads part of the statement.

NAP is also pleading with Peace and Unity Commission to take a bold step as the Commission’s failure to address rising political tension risks violence and destabilizing electrol process, leaving a dangerous vacuum in peace building efforts.

The grouping therefore calls President Lazarus Chakwera to showcase Presidential leadership in urgently and publicly condemning acts of political violence to reinforce Malawi’s commitment to peace and democracy.

NAP is also calling President Chakwera to act by arresting and prosecuting perpetuators, act on impartial policing, proactive peace mediation, among others.
