A born-again christian, Evangelist and season politician Ken Msonda, has advised President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera and government to open eyes that Candlelight Memorial Services are not being conducted to celebrate the life of the departed Dr. Saulosi Chilima but campaign for sympathy vote.
Msonda said the speeches which are being made from Candlelight are all propagandas of insulting and castigating President Chakwera and government observing that opposition leaders are using these candle light to advance their political ambitions.
He has asked the MCP led government not to sit down but to fight back against those that making propagandas against Chakwera and government by extinguishing the lighting candles with water that politics is politics.
Speaking through an audio clip circulating in various social media platforms, Msonda has claimed that some of the people leading in the candle lights have bail in their pockets for their alleged corruption cases but are there insulting President Chakwera and government.
Msonda said some people are throwing stones to police stations forgetting that they have bullets of Indian hemps in their pockets saying continuing to watch these people holding candlelight activities will produce a negative impact on MCP campaign.
He said he will tell President Chakwera to fund the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) to arrest and prosecute all those that have police and court bail in their pockets for being the ones behind supporting Candlelight Memorial Services to destroy government.
“If I was the president of the country, I would have arrested all those lighting candles to prisons for taking advantage of making propagandas against government,” said Msonda.
He has reminded President Chakwera and the MCP of Dr. Chilima’s proverb that you cannot tame a snake, one day it will swallow you advising government to open eyes why candlelight is being held in the night and 100 percent of the patronage are the youth?
The season politician has reminded government that even in the Bible, Jesus beat up people in the church saying Satan does not get tired, living these people to do the candlelight, they will not get tired wondering why candlelight not held during the day time.
A Malawi Congress Party (MCP) diehard of Mvera in Dowa district Mr. Rodgers Kamphangala, has advised Hon. Msonda to keep quiet if he wants Malawians to respect him reminding him that even MCP members sympathizing with the death of Dr. Chilima are patronizing Candlelight Memorial Services.
Kamphangala has advised President Chakwera not to listen to Msonda’s sentiments that Malawians holding candle light memorial services are not doing this for campaign but for speedy answers from MCP government on the mysterious and tragic death of Dr. Chilima and eight others.
He has finally advised the MCP that if it is not happy with these candlelight memorial services, it has all the rights reserved to call its supporters to hold their own candlelight to counter-attack the speeches deemed propagandas by Msonda.
