His bodyguard manhandled Kalindo: Mutharika

Bodyguards for Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) president Peter Mutharika on Saturday manhandled the party’s deputy spokesperson Bon Kalindo at Mutharika’s Area 10 residence.

But Mutharika’s personal assistant Ben Phiri said there was nothing political about the attack, saying the incident resulted from personal disagreements between Kalindo and the bodyguards.

Mutharika arrived in the country from United States of America via Kamuzu International Airport on Saturday and a convoy to his house comprised DPP senior members, among them Bon Kalindo, and supporters.

Kalindo was among the entourage that escorted Mutharika inside the fence of his house, but immediately he entered the fence, Mutharika’s bodyguards grabbed him and threw him out of the gate.

Kalindo said he was surprised with the incident: “I don’t know why they have treated me like this because there is nothing wrong I have done to my party which I love most.”

Asked whether the attack was in connection with rumours that he once visited president Joyce Banda at State House, Kalindo admitted meeting Banda on 5 January 2014, but denied discussing politics with the President.

“The President wanted to discuss issues about Mulanje Moutain as you know I have been [involved in issues concerning environment in the mountain],” said Kalindo.

Phiri said none of Mutharika’s bodyguards accepted involvement in the attack.

“I have investigated the matter, but no one in the security team has accepted responsibility,” said Phiri.

Kalindo said he remains loyal to DPP.

“I am still DPP because this is the party that can take Malawi forward. I don’t take the incident at Mutharika’s residence seriously,” said Kalindo.

Kalindo is also DPP’s shadow parliamentarian for Mulanje South.

  2. aha A WINNIKO dzanja lalemba sakufunani kumeneko, mukuwumilira bwanji?EXPECT MORE OF THIS.SO DONT BE NEAR APM NEXT TIME OTHERWISE THE EMBARRASEMENT WILL BE SO HUGE.

  3. Kaya zanu izo zigwilanani makholingoo ife tikukonzekela kulowa mboma ichi ndi chiyambi cha chipasupasu mu mpingo wa braz kkkkk!!!

  4. Bon kalindo ndi opanda nzeru. nkhani ya Mulanje Mountain ili mmanja mwa a DC a Mulanje osati iyeyo. Amapita kwa joisi kukapempha ndalama. Ndipo DPP imuchose muchipani ndi nthera kuwiri ameneyu. Munthu opweteketsa. Phutsitsi wa kupulaimale ameneyu issue ya Mulanje Mountain sikumukhuza konse. Bon Kalindo ndi wa Brown Mpinganjira. DPP watch out.

  5. Peter knows who did it and why. Kalindo is being regarded a traitor and is being shown how traitors are dealt with. So he must watch his step, since the action is purely political.

  6. This is the best time to avoid more Penemulunguisms. DPP is not aware of what Kalindo and JB discussed in the closed room. Well done bodyguards that’s what you’re employed for. To protect the most feared presidential candidate.

  7. You as a senior politician, did you tell your president APM when going to JB, a president of another political party at this critical period where people are being bought using cashgate money? If the answer is NO are you serious that you did not discuss anything political with this desperate duck like (quoting Mia’s words) Lady Cashgate? Check your step Kalindo!!! Politics is not drama. It needs people with resolute ideas and not wavering people like you. Good readance!
