One of the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) member for Lilongwe Urban speaking on a strict condition of anonymity, says the four corner-stones which were founded by Ngwazi Dr. Hastings Kamuzu Banda of Unity, Loyalty, Obedience and Discipline are hampering democracy in the mighty MCP.
The source has claimed that many members of the MCP are afraid of speaking of their mind for the party to be a transformative one not as the way it was during Kamuzu Bandas era, they have choosen to be quiet afraid of being declared rebels of the party.
She said in the MCP, there are capable youth to take up challenging positions in the party but when they come out in the open to share their potentials, they are blocked by people who take themselves as owners of the MCP leading them to be silenced and others marked for mysterious death.
The MCP member said unless the four corner-stones are removed, the MCP will be a changed party with its members breathing a new life as they will be able to criticize individuals who take themselves as MCP and for the party’s leadership to walk towards a good path.
She said Vitumbiko Mumba has proved to many Malawians beside of being a rejected stone from the MCP elective conference, his appointment to ministerial position by President Chakwera has made him to show his potential that as a youth, he is capable of delivering good fruits in the MCP.
The Source said Munba’s complaint against Richard Chimwendo Banda that he is interfering in the affairs of the constituency he is contesting as Malawi Congress Party (MCP) shadow Parliamentarian, bears nothing but the truth and this cannot be disputed with facts that he is not wanted by some people in the MCP.
She said at one time, there was Juliana Lunguzi who expressed her interest to run for a senior position in the party saying she was blocked and her political career ended and her name is a forgotten history in the MCP with thanks to the four cornerstones.
The source said Ishmael Chafukira was earmarked to run for presidency in the MCP and Dzanjalimodzi who challenged to bring mindset change in the party to see transformation, their political carriers ended without reaching their destination and Chafukira died mysteriously.
She has also reminded Malawians of Isaiah Emmanuel Sunganimoyo who protested heavily against the MCP decision of confiscating Kabaza motorcycle operators without licenses warning the party that this is will be going against their businesses, but the end result, he was arrested and thrown into Maula Prison.
“Sunganimoyo is still alive today by Gods hand, there have been threats of deaths against him and even beaten up for offering to the party constructive criticism, he was born with supernatural wisdom but the party has declared him enemy number one,” said the source.
She has claimed that many members of the MCP are suffering in silence saying as a result of this, one or three people in the party are being seen driving the party as if it is a family party while it has millions of supporters.
The source has finally advised youthful Vitumbiko Mumba to watch out on all those who are dining with him in one plate, he has proved to be the best of Chakwera’s minister and has become an enemy to those surrounding him saying his political career in the MCP is hanging in the balance.
