Khumbo Hasting Kachali who was Vice President of Malawi from April 2012 to May 2014, serving under President Joyce Banda. He is credited with being the first Vice President from the Northern Region of Malawi. The three previous vice presidents came from the central and southern regions. Kachali previously held a number of cabinet positions between 2004 and 2010.
Currently Khumbo Hastings Kachali serves as MP for Mzimba South West Constituency and Mzimba Central winning the seat in spite of his public split from Peoples party after Joyce Banda ditched him as VP in favor of Gwengwe.
Reacting to the government’s sale of Malawi Savings Bank (MSB) and how toxic loans will be resolved he writes the following on his Facebook page:
Fellow Malawians, as a bona fide citizen of this great nation, I would like to express my utter contempt on how Government is handling the issue of Malawi Savings Bank (MSB) loans. This is a mockery of our intelligence and dignity, and at worst, it is a blatant declaration by those in authority that the more than 16million of us Malawians are all chuckleheads.
Honestly, how can one justify holding of the whole country to ransom to give more than K5Billion to a notorious ruling DPP party functionary, who boasts to be the richest Malawian and disrespects his servants in public?
I am at pains to understand how Treasury would be all over defending a decision that will effectively result in the poorest citizens wallowing in harsh poverty being forced to hand over money to filthy rich criminals (for this is who they really are)?
Ladies and Gentlemen it is pure nonsense for Government to hoodwink Malawians into believing that it intends to recover the money through a ‘debt collection unit’ from these racketeer thugs, nope! Who is best suited to collect the money, if NOT the Bank itself? Why not declare Mulli Brothers Limited bankrupt and ban it from doing business?
Fellow citizens, if there is a time to get angry, THIS IS THE TIME and I make no apologies for such a statement.
May the good God, guide this nation through this debacle. God bless you all!
