Suspended Malawi Congress Party (MCP) Secretary General Gustave Kaliwo has obtained another injunction to stop the opposition party from conducting a convention.
Kaliwo together with Vice President Richard Msowoya, Treasurer General Tony Kandiero, Spokesperson Jessie Kabwila and member Chatonda Kaunda took the injunction on Tuesday through their lawyer Kalekeni Kaphale Lawyers.
The court order granted by High Court Judge Michael Tembo and seen by Malawi24 says MCP president Lazarus Chakwera and the party should not organise a convention.
“This order restrains you or any other persons from inviting the claimants to disciplinary inquiries and from suspending them and also from convening a convention of the party until trial of the action or until further order of the court,” says the court order.
It warns Chakwera and the MCP that they face being sent to prison or fined or having their assets seized if they disobey the order.
The new injunction comes days after the court in Blantyre set aside another injunction by Kaliwo due to irregular summons.
That court order was also aimed at stopping MCP from conducting a convention.
BRAVO KALIWO BRAVO MSOWOYA, CHAKWELA IS SELFISH AND STUPID. SAMAMVA ZA AMZAKE AND HE IS ACTING LIKE HE HAS ALREADY TAKEN GORVENMENT FORGETING ABOUT 2019 WHICH IS COMING AHEAD OF HIM,AS FAR AS I KNOW MALAWIANS,CHAKWELA WILL NEVER RULE MALAWI AND 2019 IS COMING FOR HIM TO BE DEFEATED
When will these party Presidents get it in their heads that they are not Kings, Chiefs they serve at the grace of the party members and finally by population for a 5 year term. No longer a life time.
The whole purpose of conventions, party members participate and vote for the individual the members believe can best help the nation.
Presidents of the party cannot fire SG members of the executive committee does who also is selected by party members.
Every party in Malawi is having issues.
President says he is running in 2019 yet there has not been a convention where members have endorsed him for a second term.
AFORD now has 2 presidents how is that possible?
To many selfish politians thinking only of themselves and not the population of voters.
My advice never vote for the same person twice
