The leader of the youth in the UTM Party, Penjani Kalua, popularly known as Fredokiss, has said that some people believe the death of Saulos Chilima means the end of UTM, but the party is still burning with fire.
He emphasized that despite the loss of their beloved leader, the UTM Party remains strong, resilient, and alive with purpose.
Fredokiss said that those who are celebrating or assuming that UTM has crumbled are mistaken because the spirit and vision of the party continue to live on.
On his part, the UTM party spokesperson, Felix Njawala, stated that some people thought that the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) had changed, but in truth, it remains the same old party.
Njawala argued that while some Malawians had hoped for transformation in the MCP, what has become evident is that the party’s authoritarian tendencies are still deeply rooted.
He said that there are certain thugs carrying machetes who are threatening people, yet some senior leaders are hiding them.
According to Njawala, these acts of intimidation are meant to instill fear among citizens, and it is unfortunate that some top figures within the ruling party are shielding the perpetrators instead of condemning them.
He urged Malawians not to hate the police, as they are merely following instructions given to them under the MCP-led administration.
Njawala pointed out that the police officers are often victims themselves, forced to act under political command rather than independently upholding justice.
He concluded by saying that once UTM takes over government, things will change for the better in the country.
Njawala expressed confidence that a UTM-led government would restore order, dignity, and fairness in Malawi’s governance system.
