On 17April, 2023, Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), Senior National Governing Council (NGC) member, Ken Msonda advised former President Peter Mutharika to shelve his plans which some greedy and misguided politicians are advancing.
The politicians do not wish Mutharika well by forcing him to stand at the age of 89. Many people have commented on this saying these people dont wish Mutharika well but rather they want him killed by political pressure coming with the campaign.
These greedy’ DPP gurus who mercilessly plundered and looted taxpayers money through dubious means have ganged-up to endorse ageing Peter Mutharika as the party’s presidential candidate for 2025 presidential polls in order for them to continue looting should Mutharika win the polls.
Mutharika will turn 89 in 2025 when the elections are due and this is too much.
According to some sources within DPP, the endorsements are political charade aimed at fooling Malawians to believe as if Mutharika is loved in all the four political regions.
The development has angered some sectors of the party, who have described the move as a dark day in DPP family as APM already announced that he would not stand again considering his age and falling health.
This appetite of continuing the plunder of state coffers is not wellcome in democracy.
Already some people are already answering charges for looting and abusing APM’s Malawi Revenue Authority (MRA) TIP number by doing their personal business and nothing to do with state residences.
