Daza predicts MCP breakdown
Former Malawi Congress Party (MCP) secretary general Chris Daza has predicted the downfall of the country’s oldest political party, saying many people will quit MCP before the May 20 2014 General Elections.
The social media and public domain has been rife with rumours that MCP deputy campaign director Joseph Njobvuyalema will soon join Daza in the ruling People’s Party (PP) which he joined two weeks ago. Daza’s remarks at a political rally in Lilongwe on Saturday have added to the rumours.
Njobvuyalema told the media last week that there is a crisis in MCP which needs urgent attention, blaming people surrounding MCP president the Reverend Lazarus Chakwera of misleading him.
Said Daza: “Where I am coming from, there is a mass exodus. Just wait, you will see more coming to the party [PP].”
Daza, whom President Joyce Banda drafted into her Cabinet as Minister in the Office of the President and Cabinet responsible for Good Governance, said when national executive committee (NEC) members abandon a party, it is a sign that all is not well in MCP. However, he did not elaborate on the problems that led to his exit.
But MCP deputy publicity secretary Ezekiel Ching’oma said Daza should mind his business in his new party and stop attacking MCP.
Said Ching’oma: “Things are going on well in MCP. I can’t speak for Daza since it’s his opinion, but just to say that when a marriage ends, it is best to concentrate on your new marriage than speak ill about your previous marriage.”
He also dismissed rumours that among those contemplating to join PP is former MCP president John Tembo.
Others who were introduced as new members of PP at the Saturday rally were Goodwell Chimangeni who was United Democratic Front (UDF) deputy publicity secretary.
Just enjoy the PP money Mr. Daza, as it will be short lived. MCP is a free party people can come and go and the sooner they go the better. We want reliable and principled people in MCP, all those who gave MCP a bad name in the past should go and clean people will stay. MCP is bigger than Njovuyalema, Daza, Majoni, Tembo even Chakwera. It is the party of the people and not individuals who think they deserve a lion’s share of everything from positions to money.
And just as an advice to you Mr Daza, you have left MCP now stop talking about MCP concentrate on the problems you have initiated by joining PP. People in PP are not happy with your president because she had to poach in MCP for someone to lead the new ministry she has created. It is clear that at the time she thought about creating the new ministry she so that there was no one capable in PP to lead that ministry, what a shame. Or should we say it was the bait she used to entice you Dr Daza, if that’s the case where are your morals. People are dying in hospitals because there is no medicine and you allowed her to create another valueless ministry to drain even more resources from govt so that more people should die in hospitals.
Who is Daza after all? Have you forgotten that it was Njovuyalema who proposed a checklist with an aim of barring Chakwera? All efforts failed and these people must go. MCP never kicked with the likes of Njovuyalema and it was a political party of Lilongwe. Withing a few months Chakwera has been all over the country and bringing hope to the people and Daza as a born again is not even ashamed of joining a band wagon of thieves in PP. Please leave MCP alone and much of the country’s development is is because of MCP and not DAZA.
Awa uchimo ukuwapweteka. Adagwa kalekale ndiye apa akungokawonjezera. MCP boma 2014!
I should thank Pipos party for helping burry copses that were stinking in our party. Keep it up PP. Take some more copses and dead wooh as they float with the current downstream.
