A Malawi Congress Party (MCP) diehard from Mvera area in Dowa district Rodgers Kamphangala, has called for all political parties in Malawi to go for factory setting so that they have fresh applications to the office of Director of Political Parties in Malawi.
Kamphngala suggests that almost all political parties in Malawi are swallowed by the main political parties MCP and DPP observing that corruption in government cannot end because these swallowed parties have no say in government only clapping hands at nonsense.
He says all political parties must align their objectives to match with vision 2063 observing that at the time of the formation of these existing political parties MCP, UDF and DPP there was no vision 2063 and as a result they are only promoting self-interests in government.
The MCP diehard observes with a great concern over the divisions that have rocked the DPP as evidenced with court injunctions against injunctions saying this is speaking for itself that democracy is under threat in Malawi and is being killed.
He says Article 10 of the DPP Constitution of 2018 is very clear that the President shall have power to assign a member of the National Governing Council (NGC) to any public or political office wondering where members that are being assigned other duties are obtaining court injunctions to stop the President from acting his powers.
Kamphangala says it is the wish of all Malawians to see to it that democracy is being sustained in Malawi but the way things are moving in the DPP is questionable that some other people have one agenda of killing the main opposition DPP through the courts.
He further observes that Chapter 4 of the Republican Constitution provides a clause for freedom of association meaning that people have all the rights reserved to join a political party of their choice or else forming their parties wondering why some other people are still clinging to remain in the DPP through court injunctions as if at the time of their entry they paid membership fee.
“DPP has a large following in Malawi, this is the time for them to form their own political party or join the MCP other than working tirelessly to kill the hard-won democracy for the DPP to end like curtains on the wall,” says Kamphangala.
