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.

How can intellectual wait 4 sam1 to tel him that now protest??? Where do u think these guys are going take that huge amount of money??? I led in the news last a year a student was even struggling to pay 55 000… And now ua seng fweee fweee fweee! Kumat 400 000!!! You are in hot soup my friend (DPP), Ua even failin to raise salaries of civil servants by 20%, but ua increasing student fee by more 500%! U guys are irrational.. It takes a parent working for about five months to accumulate that amount! dnt involve MCP in yo failure, just accept it kut mwakanika give room to others! Am very concerned with this

I think ngati unapita ku vasity u learnt about problem tree. In economies it also apply. The gist is: thoz guys at the top, economists, politicians, intellectuals and some relevant persons must get to the roots of the woes, not the effects of the woes. So u cant say tivomereze, its not a deadlock my friend we cn work it out by dealing with the causes and not the aftermath of the prob, so plz don’t be pessimistic be opmistic

you want to deny us education so that only your sons and daughters abroad should only be the elite of Malawi…..mungochiller vichi
Please don’t twist stories to create excuses. The issue here is about exorbitant school fees not politics. Leave MCP alone and listen to the students concerns. Most of them come from poor families and they cannot afford to raise that money. If you think its MCP fuelling the demos then just challenge it by reducing the fees and see whether there will still be the demos, simple.
kkKkkkkkkkkkkkk
Malawi is poor because of politics ,,other countries are poor because of war,,,pity Malawi
K950 million ndipano pamenapa ku munthu wakumuzi ngakhale wapa ntchito ayi kuonjeza uku ndi kupha ana anthu. kuchoka pa K275 000 mpaka inu mukuvomereza zimenezi GALU yeniyeni shaaa
Solution lower fees as you did with secondary schools and see if mcp will continue influencing student until economy improves secondry what pains alot is upkeep and rent for apoor or average worker cannot afford with peanut salary thirdly government has ran away from being responsible and lastly govt should make loans compulsory to every student with no interests and eventually be employing graduants to recover loans this will make some policies to change like mandatory retirement to go to 50 years to create jobs or change freel primary education and tax to every male adult to create income
