President and Commander in Chief of Muvi wa Chilungamo Revolutionary Party (MRP) Bantu Saunders Jumah, has raised a point of order over the remarks made by Mec Chairperson Justice Anabel Mtalimanja that she has contradicted herself on promoting democratic leadership through the citizens’ vote.
Jumah said in her speech, Justice Mtalimanja said voting is not only a right but a civic duty for the citizens to choose their own leaders but she underlined that no citizen will be allowed to vote without a national Identity Card in the 2025 elections.
He has argued with Mtalimanja that citizens have obligations to choose leaders of their choice but wondering why Mec has put conditions on the citizens that no Identity Card no vote for candidates in the 2025 elections if voting is a right.
Speaking through a Revolutionary voice in various social media platforms, Jumah said Malawians are all aware that the MCP politicized the National Registration Bureau (NRB) and the condition set by Mec on the voters is clearly speaking for itself that Mec is not ready to conduct free elections in Malawi.
Jumah said government is struggling to print passports, driving licenses and why putting tough conditions on voters saying until the time the NRB assures Malawians that all Malawians will take part in the voting processes of 2025, Malawians will trust Mec.
He said it is only in Malawi where a Minister rose up from bed to change laws governing elections claiming that in 2017, MCP supported a bill of 50 plus 1 majority win while the DPP rejected it because it was in government then.
The MRP President said today, the MCP is doing all of what it can to remove 50 plus 1 majority win to revert back to the old system First Past the Post (FPTP) as it was in 1994 thanking the Constitutional Court for imposing 50 plus 1 saying the MRP is in support of it.
He said in 2017 President Chakwera condemned the former DPP regime for corruption and today, he is not questioning his two ministers dishing out over K76 million to voters so that they are voted at the party’s elective conference to be held in August, 2024.
“Malawi’s political stupidity is impinging development and the better future of the country, Malawi need to do away with politics of stupidity,” said Jumah.
He said this is the time for Malawians to wake-up to protect and save the country from the devil claiming that in Zambia, K41 million was found being externalized by foreigners saying all this was done with the Malawi Police Service, Secret Intelligence Service and Malawi Defence Force not tracing the money.
Jumah has noted with a grave concern that if foreigners are exporting Malawi currencies bypassing all the security agencies, saying this is answering a question that Malawi is not safe and is safe only to those that are in government.
