Reports that University of Malawi students are organising to protest the fee hike in the University is only fuelled by the Malawi Congress Party who have given the students money, ruling Democratic Progressive Party cadet Pato Phoya has said.
In a Facebook post, Phoya has disclosed that the opposition party is sponsoring students to do demonstrations against government.
“So, MCP is busy sponsoring students to do Demos against fee hike? And when these Colleges close for six months will the children of these officials who most of them are studying abroad also suffer?” queried Phoya.
He then instructed that issues to do with resolving the fees hike must be done with diplomacy and not blind emotions.
His post however received sharp criticism from sectors of his Facebook community who criticised him of trying to politicise a simple issue such as a fee hike.
“It is morally wrong to allege that MCP is funding the students to demonstrate just as it is ridiculous to blind oneself with party loyalty, too blind to sympathise with needy students,” commented Beaton Galafa.
Phoya howevet stood his ground insisting that he had information that the students were being sponsored.
“I love Chancol with all my heart but someone is using those good students. A few of them in the funding circle know I am not lying,” maintained Phoya.
University of Malawi students are getting ready to take to the streets and camp at the University Council offices following the increase of University fees that the students have to pay.
Last week, the students protested in Lilongwe and delivered their petition to the Ministry of Education. However the ministry said fees for the University are decided by the University Council and they could not do anything about it.

Paja DPP ambire nd mbuli mwafuna kulimbana nd ana a xul tsopano,mademo athu ngakhale wapolisi sangaimepotu zibwana musiye abuluzi inu.
Izi ndiye za chamba tsopano. Do you think on our own as UNIMA students can’t voice out on something that is affecting us? Koma a dpp, mwandilemera kale, musapitilire kundionjexa mwamva? Student akanika kulipira 275000, akadikire a opposition kut amuuze zochita kut akhale ndi virgil. Pena pake kumaganiza mwamva?
The problem of fee hike is worrisome to every student and parent and it shows the double standards and selfishness of government thus calls for massive protest. If MCP and other parties are acting as well then its a blessing to the students for they have a helper. And if the MCP happens to gain support its normal then and don’t blame them for helping.
Do they (The DPP) have evidence? ?
No sense,,,,, students are wise enough,,,,,, they know how much it pains their parents to pay the fee,,,,, a DPP musanamizire anzanu,,,, mwaziyamba nokha izi,,,,
