Peter Mutharika

Firebrand activist John Kapito has branded the President Peter Mutharika administration as the worst ever government Malawi has ever had for its failure to find solutions to numerous challenges rocking the country.

Chief among the challenges, which have frustrated many Malawians, are the constant blackouts Malawians are experiencing.

Peter Mutharika
Mutharika: ‘Malawi’s worst leader’

Blackouts have been a challenge in Malawi for many years but they have reached an unprecedented levels over the past few months with many areas connected to the national grid not having power for over 12 hours a day.

Government and Electricity Supply Corporation of Malawi (Escom) officials have explained that the current electricity problems are due to low water levels on Lake Malawi which are making the electricity supplier not to generate enough electrical power.

Still, the numerous hours of blackouts have led to frustrations among Malawians and Kapito was unbridled in his criticism of government when he took to Facebook on Thursday.

He wrote: “Massive blackouts indeed!!! But we still losing a lot of Kwachas paying engineers at Polytechnic Simungapeze njira pilizi [can’t you find solutions to the electricity problems] Boma lawola ili [this government is rotten] worst government I have seen in my life.”

Government officials were not immediately available for comment but the Mutharika administration has looked to focus on the long term when dealing with the issue of blackouts in the country.

One of the solutions Mutharika’s government has implemented is the unbundling of Escom into four companies in order to bring more investors into the energy sector and end the state corporation’s monopoly.

  4. I am against that how can he be the worst president no big no the worst was Kamudzu who was killing anyone against him during his regime not Peter but what I am seeing now in Malawi is power hungry from anyone , mind you we don’t vote because one is talking alot no or being a leader of powerful organization no so stop being politicizing anything Peter is goood to me the problem is economy crisis which hit the world not only Malawi listen to Jon now students are marching in street for fees up so who are we here

  9. The problem is that Malawi is now infested with corrupt people. The organs we think will protect our nation are full of corruption. Police, ACB, the Judiciary, the Executive are all full of corruption. Kulibe kothawira. There is total lawlessness and disorder in this country. Everyone is doing their things in any way they want . They don’t fear anyone. Eeeeesh!

  24. It was not for man to direct his fellow man that’s why things are getting worse and worse.Kapito should know this.I for my part Iwould request you to accept that the world is under the Devil and turn to God’s kingdom which will bring everlasting peace to the entire world.Koma za anthuzi mmmmh mukungotaya nthawi yanutu apa ganizani ngati anthu anzeru.

  29. There will be no longer a better Malawi even if you( Kapito) be a President of Malawi today. The world is from good and is heading to more hardships than ever before

  32. Hello friends my name is Judith Mulenga I was one of those millions of people around the world suffering from HIV/AIDS and and i was healed through the help of DR Abumen I was diagnosed with HIV/AIDS in 2011, I had no hope and felt useless. All these negative feelings quickly suppressed my body immune system and my body started to deteriorate quickly with physical signs of rapid weight loss, my story began to change for good when i met DR Abumen through a woman’s testimony, he sent me an herbal medicine which i took for some days, after taking the medicine according to doctor’s instruction I went to the hospital to get my blood tested for HIV/AIDS. The doctors were amazed when my first blood test result came back negative. They asked me to go back again for another test, which I did and the result came back negative. The doctors could not believe still,To cut the story short, “DR ABUMEN HERBAL MEDICINE HEALED ME COMPLETELY WITHOUT A TRACE OF THE DEADLY HIV/AIDS VIRUS IN MY BLOOD” am so happy, am sharing this to the world to save some lives, believe me there is a cure, you can contact DR Abumen on his email address [email protected] and you can also call or whatsapp his number which is via +2347085071418.

  49. May be it is as he is calling him to be. But in my view of things when kapito would given chance he kapito himself worst than muntharika

  50. Zonsezi ndi a court anamupasa pitala u presindent usiku chilichonse cha mmundima chimakhala chocho tizavutika paka.2019 kulingana ndi lammulo lathu lalikulu.

  65. Even APM himself knows that he has miserably failed to run this government but all Malawians are happy & satisfied with him thats why nobody is taking action against him.

  68. #Kodi_mtsogoleri_wabwino_adzapezaka_liti_?? kodi atati akusiireni mungathe kueyendetsa dzikoli,popeza akakhala Kamuzu Banda,Bakili Muluzi,Bingu Wamunthalika,& JB(amayi) osewa zidawavuta so,what’s wrong with #APM_

  70. If Peter Mutharika and his cabinet were employees in my company i could have fired them long time ago for failing to turn around things.Malawi looks like a make shift shelter in comparison to other African countries who are developing rapidly due to implementation of their sound national development plans.
    Malawian leaders dont feel jealousy of beautiful infrastructures they see when they visit other countries who are serious about developing their countries and their people.
    How do they feel when they depart state of the art foreign airports and arrive in their own Chileka or KIA which are old fashioned and a National Shame!
    Corruption is killing the economy and Mutharika as the CEO of my Country is just watching the looters getting away with it,protecting the 7 and participating in devouring our hard earned economy and foreign donations with impunity.
    Why should Malawi remain poor just because people we intrusted to care for our well being are deeply sleeping and mismanaging the country.
    Anyone who cant deliver in their posts the world over GETS THE BOOT!What is so special with these failures?

    1. iwe ngati ukuwaziwa omwe akupanga corruption wo osakawaneneza bwanj?? mesa iye pano ali open kunena momveka bwino kuti ngati uli nd mayina upitise

    2. Uli mtulo iwe,umachidziwa chitukuko cha dziko koma?Umadziwa m’mene corruption imawonongera chuma cha dziko chomwe chikanatukula abale ako aja.Anthu ngati inu ndi amene maso anu anatsekeka ndi ku supporter andale mosaganizira zinthu zomwe akuwononga.ACB ili m’manja mwa anthu a ndale akubawa.Anthu okonda dziko lawo amazudzula zolakwika ngakhale akubawo ali a chipani chawo..

  74. Peter mutharika is a dull professor who does not know anything about leadership. He does not know that the solution to end the blackouts is to stay in one house and serve the billions of money that the govt spends on state houses and use that money to purchase new equipment to add to the already existing electronic equipment that escom has. We have got more falls in this country apart fro. Nkula, we have falls in Zomba and in nyika plateau. But as l already said peter mutharika is a dull professor.

    1. Indeed Muthalika professor is the dull, duller and dullest leader in Africa…he is America on prolonged trip spending K30,000 per week but he will not bring even a single investor to invest in Malawi. Mmmm mtchona style of thinking !!

    2. kungoti vuto ndi mabungwe athu ndipo inakwana nthawi yoti apresident aumilizidwe kuti asiye udindo ngati sapeza njira zochepetsera mavuto amene ali muno ,koma amatha kulankhula bax kukhala ngati akuimira anthu osauka kuli koti nawonso chiaBanz chili kukamwa

  76. And We Also Hv The Worst And Useless Opposition Ever Had Serve For Kamlepo Kaluwa,that Is Why The Ruling Regime Is Sleeping While Things Are Getting Worse By Each Passing Day!

  78. Dziko lingathe kutukuka bwino pokhapokha aliyense in 2019 asadzavote,,this will be a transparent hint for everyone’s tiresome expectations to meet unfulfilled promises leaders make,,,lets try that en see the results in 2019,,oh shame Malawi

  81. Akapito chokani.apa nawe ndiye ungakonze zinthu mbavanso ngati iwe.Unayamba wagawapo chakudya utamva anthu akuvutika ndi njala.Ukufuna umunamize ndani nawe uzapange kampeni 2019 tizaone ngati anthu azakuvotere,zankutu basi

    1. Mbuzi Zokhazokha Izi Musatitukwanitsepo Apa! Osamangodya Mkumakanyela Ndimabanja Anuwo Bwanji Apa, Siyeni Mwini Mulungu Dzikoli Alichita Nalo Uyunso Ndiye Wachabechabe Pitalayi Mbala Yeniyeni.

  83. There’ll be no any better party to rule the gvmnt. They are all greedy selfish. And that is the reason of joining politics nowadays. Its a half way same like joining illuminate. kkkk

    1. Thats true and there will be nobody who can bring peace but only the responsible Jesus Christ because he is the one choosen by Jehova himself.

  84. No-one will be good ever to anyone….
    Jst work hard and pray for our daily food…Kapito eat from politics….He can say what ever he want.

  86. Who was good?and who will be good in Malawi? As far as leadership is concern?coz all of before dyela lokhalokha nd where we r going ndi kufunafunanso posolola ,so can we say Zizakhala Better?

    4. Anthuwatu sakudziwa kuti dziko lonse lili m’manja mwa satana ndiye akuona ngati angasinthe zinthu mmmmh.Tiyeni tizingopempha kuti ufumu wa Mulungu ubwere paja ndiye woyenera kutilamuliratu.

  87. Well well well i could have understood Kapito 100% if he had resigned from his position as a Blantyre water Board chair to symbolise his frustration, but he is still there. He is not helping the water board either. Therefore, i consider him part of the Dpp problem.

    1. Don’t blame opposition, umati azitani? Does pitala listen? After all, he is paid for being a president so he must perform and produce results.

  94. Then take us to the street,to force him to step down,Look ,he is in USA enjoying himself,a president of aSova attitude,strange ?
