Dpp blue night

Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) have threatened to take action to force the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) pay back the money it received from councils and parastatals during the blue night fundraising dinner held at Kamuzu Palace.

According to reports, DPP solicited money from Blantyre City Council (BCC), Mzuzu City Council (MCC) and Lilongwe Water Board (LWB) totalling K13.5 million.

Gift Trapence : DPP must return the money.

The reports sparked anger among CSOs who demanded that DPP must pay back the money it got from the institutions.

But the DPP disclosed that the party is not paying back the money arguing it did not force the institutions to donate the money for the blue night dinner.

DPP Secretary General Greselder wa Jeffrey is on record to have branded the calls to have the money returned as “Zachamba” (nonsense).

Reacting on the issue, Centre for the Development of People (CEDEP) Executive Director Gift Trapence has insisted that the ruling party must return the money arguing they are to mobilize the citizenry for action if the money is not paid back.

“As Civil Society Organizations we are not going to allow having that impunity and we are warning the ruling party it will return that money come rain come sunshine,” said Trapence.

He further urged President Peter Mutharika not to allow party members to be “insulting” the citizenry when they demand answers on issues of national interest.

  12. Malawi’s CSOs why were are you silence about late bingu’story that he left billions of Malawi kwacha in foreign banks where is that isseu.Add them so that it can be two.

  20. DPP what you go was our money. We are virtially saying give ot back because we cannot aford to give to all political parties. In fact you used your ego and underground threats to gey it. This is evil and devisive.

  25. This stupid dpp has also misused 50million kwacha through office of vice president in fuel dues only. Their secretary general G.Jeffrey has not retired as some new are speculated she is still there as their gs and warned that she will sue anyone who will continue broadcasting this false news.Akutinso dpp 2019 boma, Sangatule pansi udindo mai jefule atero.Catch Zbs for news now.

  28. A voter is crying now while the one who was voted to change things is enjoying with his / her family. I will never vote again, I will only register for me to obtain that ID because it is important in other things but I won’t use that for voting, I rest my case!

  29. Democracy allows some non governmental Organizations to balance up leadership. I’m very grateful for their roles. But the way these CSOs perform their duties raise many questions than answers. You may recall that four years ago,we had leadership that didn’t work very well.They allowed plundering of public coffers and some leaders were directly involved in malpractice. What surprises me therefore is that these so called CSOs were there watching and they never demanded accountability from that previous government on the issue. Billions of money lost in that way.The same CSOs which were silent on that big issue four years down the line are up now for small issues. Should we say DPP led government is real Democratic one than that of Joyce Banda? It seems to me that these CSOs were totally afraid to demand stolen huge money back but now with the coins donated to DPP blue night by these government institutions are now making noise. If you have power enough demand that Joyce Banda be arrested and bring back the money. It was clear that She plundered government coffers and her counterparts are mentioning her in their cases.Talk about that big money not coins as you’re doing now.
