Dr. Michael Usi, a prominent figure in Malawi’s political landscape and a senior member of the United Transformation Movement (UTM), has expressed surprise over the party’s approach to handling internal issues. According to Usi, UTM seems to prefer publishing sensitive documents on Facebook rather than addressing them directly with the concerned individuals.
“I am surprised that the UTM leadership finds it more convenient to rush to social media with documents instead of sending them to the appropriate people,” said Usi, clearly perplexed by the situation.
While he acknowledged receiving the party’s summons regarding multiple charges, Usi did not categorically state whether he would appear before the party’s disciplinary committee. This has left political observers speculating about his next move and the potential implications for UTM’s internal unity.
The summons come amidst growing tensions within UTM as the party prepares for its forthcoming convention. Some insiders believe these issues reflect deeper divisions and a lack of clear communication within the party’s leadership structures.
Political analysts have pointed out that the use of social media to handle internal matters might not only tarnish the party’s image but also discourage unity among members. “UTM needs to resolve its issues professionally if it hopes to remain a serious contender in the 2025 elections,” one analyst remarked.
As the situation unfolds, all eyes will be on Dr. Usi to see how he navigates this political storm. His decision on whether to respond to the summons and attend the disciplinary hearing could shape his future within the party and influence the broader political dynamics ahead of the elections.
