DPP in trouble over blue night…CSOs threaten action

Dpp blue night

Legal expert Justin Dzonzi has faulted the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) for demanding city councils to contribute towards its blue night dinner and dance fundraising event in Lilongwe.

This follows reports that DPP approached the councils to contribute towards the dinner and dance with Blantyre City Council (BCC) contributing K5 million.

The development comes from the background of city councils having financial challenges for operations.

DPP on trouble,CSOs angered.

Workers from Mzuzu City Council are reported to have expressed dismay accusing their employer of funding the blue night dinner but failing to pay them their salaries. But the council said although it was approached, it did not give DPP the money because of its current financial situation.

Reacting to the reports, Dzonzi said the ruling party must refrain from abusing its powers by siphoning public resources.

“That’s the matter that concerns all Malawians, we have to keep in mind that city councils are funded by taxpayers, so taxpayers are all Malawians whether MCP or DPP, UDF or Aford, all contribute to the resources of city councils, if the city councils begin to fund a particular political party that is abuse of power, and the most dangerous thing is that they are becoming partisan,” said Dzonzi.

Meanwhile local Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) have demanded that the DPP should pay back the money.

The CSOs have further threatened to take up the issue with Parliamentary Accounts Committee (PAC) if DPP fails to repay the money to the councils.

  1. CSOs that operate on behalf of the opposition parties threaten to take action. The silly part of these actions is that the street demonstrations never include family members of these CSOs’ loafers & when things sour they go into hiding like Rats.

  2. that money would have help the city to create job for youth instead of taking for the party I think we need reform city councils policy to make our tax benefit everyone as malawians not just bunch of people.

  4. propaganda iyi.. which councils money are you talking about, when dpp was in the opposition you said a lot of staff and that it will never win the election now it’s in power you continue to write your staff here, let me tell you that Dpp will win the election again though you write your trash here do you think we are fools????

  5. Dzonzi akangomugawirako kakhobidi a Dpp mumuona nayeso kusapota boma la Dpp…tiononga zikoli ndife weni…in as far as i know malawians mmmmm palibe vuto

  6. Ngati DPP yinachititsa fundraising yake with advert to all voluntarily kaya munthu payekha or pagulu/bungwe then palibepo nkhani apa, otherwise kungopitiliza kusonyeza kuzungulira mitu/bongo ndi DPP

    1. City council officials were oppressed to donate this event, it wasn’t done voluntarily….we heard Blantyre city council at first wrote 2.5 million cheque but DPP officials oppressed them that it is not enough and they suppose to add another 2.5, to say we fear DPP is insanity of the highest degree, what we want is transparency coz Malawi is not a DPP farm

  7. Za Chamba! Makape Ena Amafuna Pongotchukira Basi! Dpp Sinalande Ndalama Kwama Bungwe Koma Dpp~yo Imapempha Ndalama Kwa Anthu Ndi Mabungwe Akufuna Kwabwino Ndiye Ngat Apatsidwa Ndalamazo Palivuto? Fokofu

  8. Everything which is done involving DPP it turns out to be their party rally,it shows how shallow minded and brainwashed ppl can be at some point of time only what they think about is rallies campaigning everywhere in Churches, Funerals, Dinners,Independence celebrations or opening a function

  9. Iyi ndie DPP yomwe ikulamula kuba ndie nkhani yomwe amadziwika nayo mmalo momalizitsa stadium ku kalonga iwo akupangila phwando. Zkmvetsa chisoni kwabasi

  10. Kåüxy Demallo Franzyl-Mafia JB is recognized in Malawi and globally as a leader who exposed and fought corruption among politicians, business people and civil servants in what became known as Cashgate. ._THE ABOVE PARAGRAPH HAS PROVED THAT JB AND PM STORE OUR NATIONAL MONEY THEY HAVE TO ARREST THEM ALL

  11. This is absurd. City councils are even failing to remove wastes and in Lilongwe drinking water is mixing up with feaces and you are busy demanding money from them. You are the same people who got money from NAC. You are at it again. Do you learn from mistakes?

  12. Zathu zokhazo ndiye mubweza, kodi kuba simuchita nako manyazi??? Munaba MK577bn, munabela mavoti, munaba ndalama zachimanga pano mukukawa ma councils kodi anthu inu utsogoleri ukukuvutani eti.
