Dear Mr President

 

Forgive my demeanors thus far for writing you in this manner; in fact, your present comportment coupled with your middle finger altitude towards Malawians, puts you in a position where you don’t deserve any pleasantries. You give us a middle finger; we give you some... That’s how we are rolling, that’s what you taught us with your HRDC gang that “Osaopa”, yeah sitikuopa.

Some few days ago I was sent some video clips of you Mr President during your yesteryears, sharing the word of God at the pulpit as President of the Assemblies of God in Malawi, oh my! I was impressed. The power, the energy, the passion, the art in your language, your familiarity with the word moved me, not only me, I believe you moved a number of souls during your time.

 

Mr President, it’s an indignity to your past feat that you are failing to translate the same, now that you proceeded to the secular world. Your show thus far is a minus zero, below everything that we call excellence. 

 

Apart from some good English, your biceps, that army uniform you wore someday, nice suits, taking the Covid-19 jab, “fuming” and “spitting” nothing and a display of many other nothings, you stand to be the worst president to have ever occupied State House, but for the sake optimism I refuse to make such a conclusion. 

 

You asked for patience, for some good 12 months Malawians gave you all the time. 12 months is long enough to lay foundation for change. 12 months is long enough to offer hope for a new Malawi. 12 months is long enough to get rid of nepotism and corruption.

 

12 months is long enough to lay foundation for the country’s social and economic transformation. 12 months is a century which can give a new face to Malawi, with some good policy direction and well thought for governance decisions.

 

Mr President, 12 months is even long enough to learn the trade of governing and staying away from blunders, scandals, and mediocrity that have characterized this current administration at each and every second of your stay at Kamuzu Palace. 

 

12 months is long enough to create jobs, reduce presidential powers and turning away from all the ills and the mess that were created by DPP as you made us believe on the campaign trail and as Leader of Opposition.

 

Mr President, to say you have failed is not an invention but the truth. Malawi is sailing on troubled waters without a captain. You don’t exist anymore; we can’t even hear your footsteps. 

 

Your ministers Mr President have gone rabid, and you can’t even tame them. I guess you are happy to be called the "King of thieves" as former president APM called you a couple of days ago.

All you know is turning this country into a Chakwera monarchy where Prince and Princess with their spouses are all over taking charge.

 

Mr Chakwera you gave Malawians a dummy, such a scam. Unfortunately, the Laz SKC pair had the goodwill of Malawians. But now the people that stood by you, the people that gave it all, the people that ushered you into power, the people that fearlessly fought to send DPP to the opposition benches feel cheated. All their hopes, all their wishes, everything was just in vain.

 

I can go on and on… Mr Chakwera, for once, would you please stop snoring at Kamuzu Palace, wake up and start doing the right thing. Is that asking for too much? I guess NO!

 

Ndisiyile pompa kaye kwa lero

 

Truly yours

 

Che Adyamani.

BJ IN 2021? NO PLEASE

Brown Mpinganjira has had a colourful political career whose story spans from 1986 when he joined the list of people who were detained for fighting the one party regime, to his release in 1991. It proceeded to the time he joined a team of fighters that formed a pressure group that lobbied for a referendum and made history in 1993 when Malawians voted for multi party democracy.

His political journey continued in 1994 when he won the parliamentary seat for Mulanje Central where he served his people for 15 years before they gave him an exit for not representing their development agenda.

By the way, BJ comes some one or two villages away from my late father's village in Mulanje, so i have a very good understanding of the reasons why my people gave him that middle finger in 2009.

Mpinganjira's political story continued. He became a darling of many when he fought Bakili Muluzi's third term bid and contested as a Presidential candidate for his NDA in 2004 and as a running mate for JZU in 2009. He failed on both attempts and that marked the begining of his political fuss. The way he jumped from UDF, NDA and then MCP revealed how desperate he was, for power.

The way he abandoned most of his NDA cronies, the way he betrayed his NDA agenda, disappointed the youth who formed  a bigger bunch of his NDA followers. The way he threw away all his manners and became obsessed with power. The way he normalised political prostitution, as long as it promised him some grip to power, Mpinganjira was ready to serve himself the dish to glory.

His story, is one that has seen him jump to bed with all political parties in power without shame, and made his way to some positions of influence.

Mpinganjira has appeared in almost all political fights in Malawi. In UDF, in MCP for JZU to pick him as running mate, in PP after JB's loss in 2014, and now at the center of the fights within DPP.  As long as there is power play, Mpinganjira's name will appear somewhere leading and fueling the same.

BJ hates competition... He loves making headlines. He thinks because of his MBC and Ministry of Information background then he stands better as a communication specialist for all political parties he has worked for, even at 71 in 2021.

The truth of the matter is, 2021 is the time to get rid of him and all these old cronies of his that introduced politics of handouts to our people and promoted laziness. Politicians that normalised political prostitution and think politics in Malawi must evolve around them and them alone. Politicians who have used the youth for their political gains and dumped them. 

The Brown Mpinganjira's of this world who have brought down rulers with their bad advice and love for money and power. Remember he was once fronted by JB in 2014, she failed, APM made him part of his campaign team during the fresh presidential poll and chaired the media and publicity sub-commitee, and APM lost.

We cant keep having people that made the art of handclapping in this country our daily dosage. They introduced themselves as heroes and want us to keep worshiping them as long as they live....

BJ? No please... Part 2 please... Loading.
