Malawi President Peter Mutharika has warned politicians and all Malawians against calling him a liar, saying anyone found doing so could be arrested.
“I know to call the President a liar is a violation of the law” said Mr Mutharika while responding to the Leader of Opposition, Lazarus Chakwera.
Chakwera had branded Mutharika a pathological liar sleeping on the job.
In retaliation, Mutharika, who had also called Chakwera mentally ill and in possession of a fake degree, alleged that the MCP president is scheming a plan for his own arrest in order to be elevated into a martyr by the public.
“He is pushing me to arrest him so that he becomes a martyr but I am not going to bite the bait” said Mutharika, a law professor, who was himself arrested in 2013 by his predecessor, Mrs Joyce Banda, on treason charges.
His charges were, however, dropped soon after his election as Malawi president in 2014.

Iweyo udalumbirira kuti udzatumikira mopanda chinyengo koma wayambano kunama ndiye pamenepa akufunika chilango ndindani??
Dr Laz Chakwera is a disgress to MCP supporters especially the old guards. Unfortunately he is such an ape who doesn’t want to learn from the experienced gurus within or outside the party. He is used to brain washing his laity at Assemblies of God and milk them without anyone rising on a point of order. He thought that would be the case in politics Nope.Does that surprise you that since he assumed party presidency, wrangles, name calling and all sorts of factions are failing to settle? He is a bad leader. Again the word “Opposition” is literally translated by this prodigal son. Ask how John Tembo was handling matters of national interest while in the opposition benches. Honestly, you are losing ground. You can’t brand the democratically elected president with all sorts of insults just like any other person. You mean people can’t understand your concerns by simply raising them succinctly without slurs and insults???. Remember, your actions have potential to garner support for your opponent. Don’t say we did not warn you. To say the least, you have displayed some queer traits that any sane person would wonder what kind of of a president shall we have. In other words we are taming dangerous dictator of our time.
Has he forgotten who put him in power, and that this is a democracy?
Here I call him again and again; LIAR!!!
More fire 2019 MCP boma!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So if someone telling the truth that Ur a liar is gonna be arrested but if are laying about the truth , you walk Scott free.eeeee what a drama.

This is the right time for peter munthalika and the rest of politicians to learn a lesson not to promise people the things you can’t fulfill. Things that you put in,is the things that you get out.so don’t be angry or upset.politics a dirty game no one asked you to join.
Sorry mr president you can’t force us to call an axe a spade.
Anyway is not gud at all to called someone a liar, but if u Lie’s nothing is dere.
