Atupele ready to declare assets
Malawi opposition United Democratic Front (UDF) president and leader of the party in Parliament Atupele Muluzi says he is ready to declare his assets even though the Constitution does not mandate him to do so.
In his response to the statement from the Vice-President Khumbo Kachali on theft of public resources, Muluzi told Parliament on Wednesday that politicians, especially those heading the current administration should cultivate trust with disillusioned Malawians by showing that they have nothing to hide.
“We in the UDF believe this fight should look further than what has been provided so far. We are asking government, that if it is serious about transparency and accountability, then it must begin with the President and Cabinet. If not, it sends the wrong message. I am prepared to declare my assets, I can do it even without the law in place,” he said to applause from the opposition benches.
Parliament is expected to table the Declaration of Assets, Liabilities and Business Interests Bill which will make mandatory for all public officers, from the president to civil servants to declare their assets.
“We want assurance that the ACB and police would be free from political interference, to take this cash-gate scandal to its conclusion,” he said.
You are not in govt and tax payers have nothing to do with you. So to who are you going to declare your assets? Don’t panic because of what your Dad looted. Usatipusitse.
Aka nkamwanadi aka. Kakuona ngati chuma chobedwa ndi bambo ake angamatiwuze ali ready to declare assets? Which Assets because we know he has never worked or registered doing any business to have some. So whatever you want to declare young man was a result of your father stealing from the same pubic purse. And your hands are equally as dirty as your father and the Mutharikas kikiki
Tikuwona zonse mmene zikuyendera. Land rover is pa Nyasatimes ndi you imagwiritsa ntchito mbava yayikulu imene ali bambo ako. Which assests are you going to declare? Those that are on your father’s will or those that he has already shared you. We are watching you. We are no longer sleeping.
i m not into politics but for sure Atupele is very intelligent like president khama of botswana. He is always talking sense in the parliament and he is very eloquent unlike …………………………………
iwe bambo ako anatibera ndiye iwe usatichimiwitse wamva, kuyesa ukati ndi zako utiuza kumene zinachokera? mxiiiii tiye ukooo
Gadaffe ruled Libya when he was 27yrs, he was born 1940 and he became president in 1969.mukafuna zambiri get me 0027842599976.lets talk about politics only
I am not a supporter of UDF koma I think nonse mukumunyoza Atupele ndinu anthu opanda nzeru. Kodi mukufuna kundiuza kuti azibambo anu analibe machimo? Do people judge you by your father’s sins? Chifukwatu enanu apa bambo anu anali zitsilu zawanthu but I am sure you are nothing like them. Why don’t you give the young man the benefit of the doubt. He knows what sins his father committed and I am sure he has learnt a lesson. I don’t think he is that stupid to repeat the same mistakes. And afterall he is more educated than his father so kuganiza ndikosiyana. If you don’t support his party why don’t you concentrate on convincing people how good your parties are instead of kunyozana. This is why we are not developing. Village mentalities basi! However he got his chuma, if he has to declare it he will. Nanga if he wins and he is supposed to declare his assets mudzamuuza kuti ayi don’t do it because ndi chuma chomwe anaba bambo ake or because he hasn’t worked so you don’t know how he acquired it? Mbuzi, mbuzi, mbuzi!
