These days in Lilongwe or Blantyre should show all Malawians that the Tonse Alliance is no difference, than when President Peter Mutharika was President with his party the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). The coalition of Tonse Alliance promised to be opposite and serve in a new manner. However, the party is delivering the same.
That can be proven by the words of the current day President Lazarus Chakwera, when he was in opposition just two years ago.
“The arrest of Honorable Bon Kalindo, who is Member of Parliament for Mulanje South, is a new low for the outgoing Mutharika Administration. Whether or not what the legislator said about Mutharika was an insult is not the issue. The issue is that this idea of arresting any Malawian, not to say anything of one who is a parliamentarian, for merely expressing how they feel about the illogical conduct of Mutharika’s failed government, is primitive, unacceptable, and stupid. In fact, whatever unjust law is cited to empower such a ludicrous idea is equally primitive, unacceptable, and stupid, and will thus be repealed by my government” (…) “I therefore condemn these arrests in the strongest possible terms, and I call for the immediate release of Honorable Bon Kalindo. Furthermore, I call for an immediate stop to all forms of intimidation which this government has been using against its political opponents, including tampering with the security detail of the Vice President, in contempt of court orders. Whether Mutharika likes it or not, no amount of intimidation or arrest will change the fact that Malawians everywhere are readying themselves to fire him and his entire cabinet in 130 days” (Lazarus Chakwera, 11.01.2019).
Because, since November 2021 the same politician and activist has gotten into fire. He has brewed and used the tiredness of the lacking results, and similar actions of the Tonse Alliance. Kalindo have held demonstrations and shown his capacity to gain support. Which is hurting the pride of the leadership and the authority.
MP Bon Kalindo is now behind bars after being charged again. Kalindo was just days ago gotten court orders of bail, but he was re-arrested. So, Chakwera should write ill about his own reign. When he issues and uses the same means as his predecessor.
The preacher, pastor and evangelist is showing what sort of leader he is. His not true to his words, because his actions speaks louder than those. Chakwera isn’t able to reform or change things. As the President is as busy with nepotism, corruption and mismanagement. The President shows that to the public and we can just await new leaks of scandals. If this is tenders or other misuse of resources for the high ranking officials who earned fortunes on wasting government funds.
Kalindo is behind bars. Just like he was during the predecessor. He gotten into trouble for being the same troublemaker. It is special and unique how one man can undress leaders like this. That he can prove how shallow and how little time Chakwera needed to show his true character. His no difference from Mutharika. That’s what is sad and the President doesn’t have the courage or care to be better.
He is arresting an MP for the same means as the former one did. One he attacked and asked for changes for. Now, people should ask for the head of Chakwera. Since his no better than the man he didn’t deem fit. That is clear.
A man that cannot honour his words. How can you expect this man to be a leader? When he cannot even keep his ducks in a row and be consistent. Peace.





In June 2019 with the newest salary increases, the Members of Parliament was getting 2,5 million Malawian Kwachas monthly, while the average median salary is about 159,000 MWK. However, this is what 50% of workers earns or lower. Meaning the MPs before the newest pay-rise they are earning around 15 times more than over 50% of the general population.
So with this in mind. There is new reports that the MPs whose already rich by all standard in the Republic. Are ensuring their own wealth with more incentives. This being tax-exempt cars. They can buy cars without paying taxes. Before, the newest incentive, they we’re not paying for it anyway during their elected term. However now, it is totally tax-exempt. They will not have to pay exercise duty nor paying customs after the fact. Meaning its only the cost of getting it from abroad and shipped to Malawi.
The MPs are not paying taxes on their cars. MPs will be allowed to do this with two cars during their term, while the Ministers are allowed to buy three.
So, they are getting a real bargain. While the ordinary citizen has to pay added taxes on the commodity. The MPs and Ministers will drive around in cars, which they never paid taxes for. This is all for the up-coming term from 2019-2024. The MPs will all have a capital gain and able to save money. Even not really loose to much using the cars and then trading them when their term ends. It is a real incentive to buy extra cars during their term.
This is all a small heist by the MPs. They are getting cheap cars, easily access to cash to buy it with allowance, sitting fees and whatnot. All of this blended with incentives to buy two cars during their term without taxes. This makes the cars cheaper and makes it good deal for them.
Every single citizen has to pay the levies and taxes on their cars. Only the MPs and Ministers are exempt from it. These people are ironically representing the people. A people who has to pay taxes for the same product and vehicle. While the MPs are getting a free-ride, the public have to cough up the taxes for it. That’s shows how unfair it is and the public cannot stop them. Since, this is something they vote for themselves. Just like they do it with the salaries. Which is already superior to most in the Republic.
The rich are getting richer, while they poor continue to struggle. These are the representatives of the people. They are acting like kingpins and forgetting their part. They are enriching themselves on a position, which is bestowed on them. Instead of showing gratitude and serve the public, they are finding new ways of gaining wealth. This is misuse of office and this should be the perfect excuse of getting new leadership. Which represents the public and their needs, not only fill their own pockets. Peace.
