Hear this and here it correctly: the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) is not a political party seeking to serve—it is a haunted house of corruption, greed, and grand theft. It is not a government-in-waiting. It is a crime scene under investigation.
During their disastrous rule, DPP didn’t lead. They looted. They didn’t govern. They grabbed. Under the shadow presidency of bodyguard-turned-powerbroker Norman Chisale—who practically ran Malawi while Professor Mutharika watched from a distance—the tax money of ordinary Malawians vanished into the pockets of the privileged few. Today, Chisale is answering for his alleged crimes in court.
He is not alone. Joseph Mwanamvekha faces financial misconduct allegations. Mzomera Ngwira was jailed for looting public resources. Uladi Mussa, too, was sent to prison for abusing the power entrusted to him. These are not isolated incidents—they are a pattern of betrayal, stitched deep into the DPP’s political DNA.
And it’s far from over.
Now, Jappie Mhango, the DPP Vice President for the North, has joined the corruption parade. The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has arrested him for allegedly abusing his ministerial powers in 2016 and 2017. He is accused of authorising the sale of government houses at criminally low prices—just K2.95 million—benefiting his own relative, Cuthbert Mhango, and several others. That’s your tax money, stolen in daylight.
Worse still, when ACB investigators asked him in 2022 about a house rented by his second wife in Mzuzu, he allegedly lied, saying he didn’t know the landlord. The truth? The house belonged to his own relative and was bought during his tenure as Minister of Transport. That, Malawians, is not leadership. That is corruption of the highest order.
So we ask: Can this party, drowning in criminal charges and moral bankruptcy, claim it is ready to lead again?
Let the truth be louder than propaganda: DPP is not returning to power—it’s returning to court.
