Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) contends that the arrest of Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) Director General, Martha Chizuma confirms what the opposition party has maintained \u201call along\u201d that President Lazarus Chakwera \u201cis leading a government that is clueless, incompetent, undemocratic and corrupt\u201d.<\/p>\n

In a statement from Namalomba on Wednesday, day after Chizuma\u2019s arrest and subsequent release on bail, the DPP accuses Chakwera\u2019s administration under the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) that is has \u2014 \u201cfor the past two years \u2014 tried to divert attention to its incompetence and cluelessness by arresting innocent Malawians without any basis\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cChakwera\u2019s government has completely lost the trust of Malawians to govern,\u201d says the party. \u201cIt is not an instrument of protection but oppression for Malawians.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thus the DPP demands for Chakwera\u2019s administration\u2019s resignation \u201cwith immediate effect and pave way for an interim government that will conduct fresh elections in 90 days\u201d.<\/p>\n

On the events surrounding Chizuma, the DPP \u2014 just like other high profile civil society personalities have expressed including the US Ambassador to Malawi, David Young \u2014 says it is incredulous that \u201cChakwera and his government have expressed ignorance of this legal and brutal arrest\u201d\u2019 describing it as \u201ca lie\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cMalawians should know that such an arrest of senior public officer cannot be effected without the approval and sanction of the President, Minister of Homeland Security and the Inspector General of Police.\u201d<\/p>\n

The DPP likens the SWAT-style of the arrest to the \u201cbrutality and fear that became part of our daily life of struggle for multi-party and democracy in the one party rule of the MCP\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are told that a group of armed police officers took siege of her house in the wee hours of that Tuesday \u2014 with guns and tear gas canisters blazing, descended on her while asleep, bundled her into their trucks and drove 40kms away to Namitete.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike a convicted criminal, she was forced to kneel down, mocked and ridiculed by police officers on duty. Her crime, as we understand, is because she touched on the nerves of some senior people in the Tonse Government at the apex of looting billions of Kwachas in this country,\u201d says the Party.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a statement is circulating on social media, purported to have been posted by MCP Member of Parliament for Lilongwe South, Peter Dimba \u2014 in which he alleges that \u201cthere is another \u2018boma\u2019 (government) that has hijacked our Boma and is running the show.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cBoma ndilodabwa kuti boma lamanga mayi Chizuma\u2019 (government is surprised that it has arrested Chizuma) struck me yesterday. It sounds simple and hilarious but it is complex and saddening.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow that the dust has settled and our eyes are clear, it\u2019s important to take a serious introspection. The statement above simply means there is another \u2018boma\u2019 that has hijacked our Boma and is running the show.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis \u2018boma\u2019 is not what Malawians wanted when they defied all odds and matched in the streets to oust DPP. This \u2018boma\u2019 is not what the 5 Judges risked their lives for when they delivered that award-winning verdict on the landmark elections case.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe \u2018boma\u2019 that arrested Martha yesterday seems to be more powerful than the real Boma we are part of. This \u2018boma\u2019 has so much power that at 3am, they could kickstart the Govt. machinery, drive this heavy machinery to Martha\u2019s compound, mobilize 40 police officers and arrest Martha like they were arresting Osama Bin Laden \u2014 without considering the political consequences.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd to drive that Govt machinery at 3 am, this \u2018boma\u2019 knows where the Govt machinery is packed and also has access to the keys of this machinery.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have come to discover that this is the \u2018boma\u2019 within our Boma that is responsible for the daily drama and scandals that are an embarrassment to our President, a disgrace to us, the Party members and a disservice to the Nation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the \u2018boma\u2019 that is undoing what the real Boma is doing and forcing us to take 2 steps backwards after taking a step forward. This is the \u2018boma\u2019 that is making decisions like they are Std 3 dropouts without any critical analysis and environmental scanning.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis \u2018boma\u2019 has captured our intelligence\/NIS and turned it into a machinery for rumour mongering and gossip and not a service for timely, correct and relevant intelligence information for effective running of our Govt.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis \u2018boma\u2019 is run by 4 or 5 or 6 people, some of whom were not there when MCP was in the bush fighting a guerrilla war against DPP and therefore don\u2019t even care whether we lose or not as a result of their silly decisions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am glad that His Excellency, the President has instituted a commission of inquiry to burst this \u2018boma\u2019 for their actions are treasonous, and we expect more heads to roll.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, fierce commentator on Malawi\u2019s social and political matters, Onjezani Kenani has honoured Peter Dimba \u201cfor his incredible leadership of the Legal Affairs Committee, and indeed on behalf of his committee, as Personality of the Year\u201d.<\/p>\n

Kenani justifies this stance, saying every year, his page \u2014 which has a ledge following of equally fierce critics of the country\u2019s social and economic shortfalls \u2014 names as personality of the year a public institution official, whose work has had a tremendous impact on transparency, accountability and good governance.<\/p>\n

He wrote: \u201cThe runner-up this year was the Ombudsman, Ms. Grace Malera, whose fearlessness in reversing illegal appointments makes the Office of the Ombudsman remain a true defender of the public\u2019s interests.<\/p>\n

\u201cMs. Malera ruled that the appointment of the Malawi Energy Regulatory Authority (MERA) Chief Executive, Mr. Henry Kachaje, was illegal, since his qualification \u2014 a Master\u2019s degree from a bogus institution called Azteca \u2014 was obviously fake.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe matter is in court, but with that decision the new Ombudsman sent a strong notice to the government that her office was not going to let any maladministration go unchallenged. The Ombudsman later in the year also reversed the appointment of Ms. Helen Buluma as Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the National Oil Company of Malawi, a decision the government initially wanted to disregard, only to have everything backfire.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite the brilliant performance by the Ombudsman, this page also took a close look at the work done by the Legal Affairs Committee of Parliament, which took an unprecedented step in the history of our nation by taking away powers from the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP).<\/p>\n

\u201cSince October 2021, when the Zuneth Sattar corruption scandal came to light, the DPP has given the impression of doing everything within his power to prevent justice from taking its course. He, for example, withheld consent to prosecute, without justification.<\/p>\n

\u201cInitially he told the Legal Affairs Committee of Parliament that the request for consent from the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) was half-baked. When the ACB appeared before the Committee to explain its side of the story, the Committee was left in no doubt as to which office \u2014 between the DPP and the ACB \u2014 was telling the truth. As a result, the Committee decided to enact a law that took away from the DPP the powers to grant consent, making the ACB a bit more independent as a result.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are deeply grateful to the Legal Affairs Committee of Parliament, under the leadership of Honourable Peter Dimba, M.P., for stepping in decisively to rescue the fight against corruption, which could have been gutted by the DPP\u2019s actions.<\/p>\n

\u201cCommittee work is group work. It is difficult to single out an individual. Honourable Ashems Songwe, for example, showed tremendous courage in the process, as did the rest of the Committee. But everything rises and falls on leadership.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the leader of the committee did not have the drive and the passion to clean up the country, everything could have been gutted. On 21 July, for example, Honourable Peter Dimba made the following speech in Parliament:<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2019The laws give the ACB the powers to prosecute corruption cases with one hand, with the other hand it withdraws those powers by empowering the DPP to withhold consent.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2019Madam Speaker, that doesn\u2019t have to continue. You\u2019ve read newspapers, I think over the weekend, in which the DPP continues to deny the ACB consent to prosecute corruption cases. For how long Madam Speaker is this going to continue in our country?<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2019Today we can decide, Madam Speaker, whether to repeal the CPA and disband ACB \u2013 because if we say we\u2019re fighting corruption using the ACB, then we\u2019re lying to ourselves, Madam Speaker.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2019Today we can decide: Let there be no ACB in Malawi. Let everyone steal the way they want. Let everyone loot this country the way they want. Let foreigners come into this country, loot our resources, go to UK and buy properties the way they want. And let our people continue to suffer. Let our people continue to wallow in poverty because of corruption.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2019But the people of Lilongwe South are not going to be part of that. Because I\u2019m here representing a woman without shoes in Malingunde who is having difficulties accessing drugs in hospitals because some few people \u2014 not many \u2014 have looted this country over the decades. We must put this nonsense to an end today.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
