Fellow Malawians
Today I wish to address you on a matter that will either build or destroy our country.
Many of us are peace loving Malawians who want to continue going about our normal lives uninterrupted. We want to continue going to work and do our businesses in order to provide for our families and together build our Nation.
As you might be aware, Malawi Congress Party supporters intruded into the Capitol Hill in Lilongwe a couple of days ago. These MCP supporters interrupted Civil Servants and other people who were working at Capitol Hill and forced each one of them to leave the Capitol Hill.
Those of you who work in Capitol Hill want to continue serving our people, providing services such health and education programs including to the same people interrupting us.
Most of us want to continue operating our businesses because that is how we earn our living and contribute to national development.
Most vendors in our cities want their businesses uninterrupted because this is how they bring food to their families every day.
We want to continue sending our children to school because this is their future.
We want to continue working in our hospitals and clinics to save suffering lives of many innocent Malawians because we all need hospital services.
However, we have in the last few days seen Reverend Lazarus Chakwera and the Malawi Congress Party calling for violence and bloodshed in order to bring chaos in this country.
We have seen them threatening civil servants at Capitol Hill to stop serving Malawians. These are civil servants who are working hard for this country to keep our children going to school; to provide medicine and keep our hospitals saving our lives and to keep our businesses running every day.
We have seen Reverend Chakwera and some members of his Party threatening judges and insulting our police officers for doing their job.
Many of you will recall the background to all this. We had an Election which all international observers declared peaceful, free, fair and credible. While counting of votes was in progress and before the winner was known, Malawi Congress Party started pressurizing Malawi Electoral Commission to declare Reverend Chakwera as the winner.
Suddenly, MCP went to court to stop the Malawi Electoral Commission from announcing the same results they had pressured the Electoral Commission to announce. After their injunction was vacated, results were announced and I was declared the winner. Then MCP has gone to court again to ask the court to nullify the results.
Instead of waiting for the court to do its job and the judicial process to take its course, Reverend Chakwera is mobilizing illegal demonstrations that are disrupting everybody’s life.
Before these demonstrations, we have seen a disturbing wave of violence being inflicted on innocent Malawians soon after Reverend Chakwera called for violence in his statement. Most Malawians are now wondering what Reverend Chakwera wants.
I am advisably informed that the real goal of Reverend Chakwera is to ignore the democratic electoral process and its results; to create chaos and civil unrest using lives of unsuspecting innocent Malawians to take over Government by violence and force. This will not be allowed.
I would like to urge all Malawians to reject anyone wanting to use your life as a pawn for power hungry politicians.
Let me call upon you all fellow Malawians to maintain peace, love and unity at all times and reject leaders who terrorize and threaten the lives of our families and children.
Let us reject Reverend Chakwera’s lawlessness by mantaining our respect for our judges. We are a country of laws and judges are custodians of law. We must allow them to do their job without influence or hinderance.
I call upon all other political leaders to avoid inciting their followers to violence and anarchy. We must reject criminality in strongest terms and protect our democracy from returning to the dark era of Malawi Congress Party dictatorship and brutality.
I also appeal to all our traditional leaders, civil society organizations and religious leaders to join my Government and all peace-loving Malawians in rejecting the spirit of violence and anarchy displayed by Reverend Chakwera and the Malawi Congress Party.
In conclusion, I wish to advise you all my fellow Malawians that I have ordered our security agencies including the Malawi Police Service and Malawi Defence Force to protect innocent Malawians and their properties from those that want to cause violence and disorder. Any person inciting and perpetrating disorder will be arrested and brought book to face justice.
Thank you for your time.
God bless bless you all.
God bless Malawi.

Mr President can you prove to the nation as to when and where did Dr Lazarus Chakwera endorsed these demos? How would address the issue of tippex that MEC used on election results sheets? For your info Mr President people are demonstrating because they strongly believe that your ascendancy to the high office has been facilitated by the MEC chair and the entire staff through the use of tippex.
Peter Muthalika, let me put sense into your stupid and relentless push to remain in power by using taxi payers money bribing the MEC team just to get yourself another term against the will of 90+ Malawians.
It is you who have caused anger to so called Malawians you think they voted for you tippexily.
It is you who is to blame should Malawi experience bloodshed
It is you who have robbed the Malawi peace
It is you who think Malawians are stupid and you can control them any how.
It is you who upon stealing trillion plus cash from taxpayers money and use the same to entice and steer the elections results towards your enforced liking.
It is you who will go into the History books of Malawi to have caused the civil war in Malawi because I your greediness
It is you Peter Muthalika and your fellow MEC team who will go down as those causing unrest.
Malawians are not stupid but rather just poor because of this very type of government.
You wrecking Malawi and you are destroying the very people you want to govern.
Let me ask you the following questions
Imagine it was you in Chakwera’s or any political parties shoes, what could you do.
Imagine it was your own child shot at in the street just because he is peacefully demonstrating his sovereign rights as a Malawi citizen.
MY ADVICE TO YOU
1. Remain quiet and don’t lie to Malawians that you care shit about peace
2. Control your temper and remain humble and accept that things really messed up because of your greediness and try to accept and let Malawians exercise their anger peacefully.
3. Advise the security forces just to control and ensure people are exercising their out right anger peacefully and don’t inflict pain and unnecessary arrests, because if you do that just know that Malawi will be filled with bloodshed and your already dirty hands will be sliced in pieces. The very same people you trust will slaughter you in Kabila style.
4. Mind you that those guarding you are the very same people who are related somehow to those protesting on the streets.
Dont be fooled that you are safe.
Bottom line, you Peter Muthalika have caused already angry Malawians to even hate you forever and you have pushed them beyond the peace accord many Malawians are characterized with as peace loving. You castigated and increased the rule and divide tribalism in Malawi. Just look at the whole list of your appointments, 95% are Lhomwes in all key positions. What picture of governance are you trying to create in Malawi.
If I were you and you were peace loving, I could have called for annulification and set another date for a rerun. But I know you cannot do that because you fear the waste. If indeed you claim that Malawians really credibly voted for you, why do you fear for rerun? So you know Malawians doesn’t want you, so keep your mouth shut and wait for waste ever situation in your life.
TO ALL MALAWIANS
Let us demonstrate and exercise our rights peacefully and don’t allow the rotten Police push us to the edge.
Let us peaceful vigil in all districts and during court hearing until such time, Muthalika and his cronies are flushed out into their own toilets full of rotten governance. Let them eat their own shit that comes out of their fat asses.
LONG LIVE MALAWI LONG LIVE FREEDOM OF ITS CITIZENS.
This stupid idiot steals an election and talks about justice. Tic-toc.
Mr President Sir, what about tipped. Chakwera is not inciting violence, you have taken this country for granted. Your people are getting richer and richer. Building villages from tax payers money and you sit in Sanjika saying nothing. Your ana a dad breaking the law. People are angry. We are angry and majority wants you to step down.
