Presidents [NSM] Memo

Our Party [NSM] in conjunction with all other peace loving Malawians support the status quo of the coalition in parliament as led by Dr. Bingu wa Mutharika. At the time Mutharika was presented for swearing as STATE PRESIDENT in Malawi, we the people had undergone great mal-administration through what the laity in Malawi termed a corrupt regime; where a few benefited from their inner circle.

The next general election will avail Malawi of all misconceptions and give Malawi true leadership. Our party’s view is to allow Mutharika to finish off the remaining two and half years as long as he upholds rule of law and order. It is certain that he will and has to accept that he will leave office in May 2009.

There is a tendency to abuse office by dismissing senior officers in the civil service, cabinet, army and police without proper grounds as if they were ‘garden boys’ in ones estate which forces people to form plots and cliques. The Head of State is reminded of his oath of office and need to work with others as co-workers to develop Malawi so that the respect we had for him should remain forever. It is therefore important to remind the incumbent to shun false advice and avoid elimination of co-workers under strange grounds who eventually form cliques and calls for immediate end of his rule.

It is the view of our party that Dr. Mutharika will continue working honestly with all for the good of Malawi now and in the future. The Speaker of Parliament was elected by the coalition; therefore he has no vendetta to call for general elections within six months by deliberately invoking Section 65 which is a safeguard to the other more important section which reads and quote: members of parliament shall be free to speak, associate and do everything political for the good of Malawi without fear or favour. The Speaker has no power to force a line up of thoughts and feelings of Malawians by invoking a particular section wrongly; after all he is the first learned speaker after many decades. What will be his intentions? There have been many plots to plunge Malawi in darkness - the last two were to distract the attention of people to the effect that the State House is full of Zimbabwe born officers including controversial Agrinna Mussa’s proposed Malawi ambassadorship to Pretoria.

The current lie is that the speaker can plunge Malawi into darkness by invoking Section 65. All these are false ideas the constitution has so many sections which safe guard Malawi. All laws connect to one another. Members of parliament were wise to do what they did in the interest and welfare of Malawi. They are not forced to accept the coalition; it is for the good of Malawi. Let us all work together, and lodge our complaints in court if unfairly treated. Sister countries near us are in trouble of foreign and local plots, no one is above the law, and there is no life president in Malawi therefore don’t accept the devil and his plans to put us to sleep, we need much development now and in future. Long live Malawi.

Kazuni Kumwenda
President [National Solidarity Movement]
