The Board of Trustees for Mulhako wa Alhomwe, says it has noted with dismay and disappointment over the conduct of UTM leaders who have resorted to using Mulhako wa Alhomwe structures for their political gains.
The Board has condemned and warn UTM leadership in strongest terms for using its structures for political reasons saying UTM has been involved in holding meetings and donations of some motorcycles to district chairpersons to canvass support from zones to support activities of the party.
It has advised the UTM leadership to take note that the district chairpersons they are using were expelled from the Mulhako wa Alhomwe and have no powers to act on behalf of the Mulhako wa Alhomwe.
Writing in a statement dated 27th August, 2025 signed by the Board’s Chairman Muchanakhwaye Mpuluka, the Board of Trustees has claimed that UTM leadership has been canvassing the appointment of Dr. Dalitso Kabambe as running mate for the DPP in the pretext that he comes from Lhomwe Belt.
The Board of Trustees has advised UTM leaders to know that Mulhako wa Alhomwe structures are not political areas, but serve the purpose of the Clan observing that each and every political party has its own structures.
It says use of Mulhako wa Alhomwe areas for political gains is tantamount to putting the name of Mulhako wa Alhomwe into disrepute reminding the UTM leaders that Mulhako wa Alhomwe does not encourage nepotism as UTM leadership is portraying.
“Mulhako wa Alhomwe does not in any way get involved in the appointment of running mates as this is always the prerogative of a President of any party,” reads the statement in part.
The Mulhako Board of Trustees has warned the UTM to desist from using Mulhako wa Alhomwe structures that failure to do so, will leave them with no option but to seek legal redress against them advising them that if they do not have political structures, they should create structures and use such structures to advance their political ambitions.
Meanwhile, social media influencer Mneneri Joshua Chisa Mbele has written a food for thought on his face book page that there is no difference between a witch and ungrateful person citing the case of Dr. Dalitso Kabambe and Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika.
“Kodi a Kabambe anali ndani kupanda Professor Mutharika? Mneneri’s writings on the wall.
