LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-The pomp for Vice President Saulos Chilima’s UTM party is slowly fading and becoming more disorganized, with information emerging that the alleged financiers have stopped bankrolling them as the party does not give them any hope of winning the General election, as they have been projected to be distance third in the May 21st elections.
According to information this publication has gathered, UTM leader Chilima has told his inner circle that they must be working hard to make sure they have enough money for the campaign, and that they must not rely on him only to be visible on the ground because the party does not have money.
As that is not enough, Chilima’s trip to the USA was also meant to fundraise for UTM and he was aiming of coming back home with US$ 300,000. Unfortunately, Chilima only came back home a sad man with US$70,000.
This is one of the reasons Chilima has slowed down on his public appearance because he has a limited budget to operate on.
A seemingly vulnerable Saulos Chilima came back home in such a low mood secretly with frustration of failing to coax financiers into UTM as he was told in the face, there is nothing he is offering apart from venting his anger and his childishness of going on the podium drunk.
Chilima came back home with a scandal following a story which made its way in the public domain that he went to America with a concubine while her left was left home.
This is speculated to have also been one of the reasons he told UTM to cancel his welcome at the airport to avoid public embarrassment.
Efforts to get Chilima’s proceeds on USA trip proved futile for several attempts soon after arrival from the that private tour.
