Malawi Congress Party MCP top official and Legislature for Salima North West, Jessie Kwabwila has been released on Police bail at Kanengo Police station after spending night at the station over treason charges.
Kabwira is expected to appear before police on 26th February.
The arrest on Monday evening in city centre near Germany embassy happened just after she had attended to the first sitting of the National Assembly meeting.
Kabwila was going to the embassy to seek asylum but this was later after Peter Chakhwantha had successfully entered the embassy premises where he is as asylum seeker to escape arrest following Whatsapp conversation.
The two have been hunted by police following Whatsapp conversation allegedly bearing their phone numbers and of some MCP officials discussing ways to oust Peter Mutharika Government. However, police on Sunday failed to arrest them because they were nowhere to be seen. But they successfully managed to arrest Ulemu Msungama who is now on police bail over similar charges.
MPC legislatures and supporters went to Kanengo Police station to demand the release of Kabwila however, police granted her bail last night but was released this Tuesday morning at 06:00 hours.
Gustave Kaliwo, MCP secretary General said he was disappointed with Police that after being assured not to arrest the two until the end of ongoing meeting of National Assembly they went ahead with plans to arrest the two.
Below is part of the Whatsapp conversation
27/01/2016, 21:25 –+265 998 58 24 45: What are we doing as MCP to deal with this stupid DPP administration and its president? In the last dpp regime, things were bad but we made Malawians to fight back. This time we seem to be normativising these deadly failures.
29/01/2016, 03:26 –+265 999 54 44 70: Kaya aMalawi kupusaku kunachokera pati eish! The DPP is messing up big time and we all seem Ok
27/01/2016, 21:59 –+44 7963 139218: I presume Diaspora movement should kick start it then the Nation will follow but it’s not easy for MCP as a party to start something, I know the consequences but let the masses do the job, they just need a starting point. Then everyone else will be ok board, these people are suffering and can react so quick.
29/01/2016, 04:18 –+1 (404) 617-9530: APM can be taken down, just using The Mubarrack Egypt style nkupita ku nyumba yathu, Kamuzu Palace osachoka iyayi, atha kukomokera momo ataona kalikiliki panja anthu atalusa ndithu
27/01/2016, 22:02 –+44 7754 944607: Does not opposition have youths who are fearless to tackle the issue head on?
27/01/2016, 22:08 –+265 998 58 24 45: We have youth, pp also has them . I think it 7th a matter of structuring, defining exactly what has to be done, well timed, not reactive, apologetic or too careful, logical etc. Rather, some organised chaos chipping at the elephant from all corners till it falls, all hands on Dec
27/01/2016, 22:09 –+44 7963 139218: We have the youth in opposition but legally any uprising started by opposition result in treason cases, let’s use the people. I believe if Malawians start it, MCP is ready to take care of them, there might be differences but even those starting this know the potential and opportunities that lies ahead.
29/01/2016, 01:48 –+1 (404) 617-9530: Pita ndiofunikatu kukamuchotsaku ku Kamuzu Palace yathu. Nyumba yathu imeneyi ngati anspangira Mubarrack in Egypt
29/01/2016, 06:14 –+44 7969 216335: But if a small group can pull out a campaign kunena Kuti sitichoka ku city centre till atatulapansi udindo I’m sure people can join in.
29/01/2016, 06:17 –+265 999 54 44 70: As MCP we were supposed to take advantage of all this mess and play it from the background
28/01/2016, 22:00 –+265 996 24 30 27: I entirely agree with you, me too wonder- why we are not ticking and get necessary backing. Few of us had/have careers elsewhere but opted to join liberation movement. Alas its business as usual. Ask JK and myself. Even in parliament, we don’t get the support we need to get this DPP down
29/01/2016, 06:43 –+265 998 58 24 45: I used to think joining politics would give me a chance to be more active, use my activistvoice with those of others but what I have seen is speaking out, walking in the streets has earned me the title waphuma ameneuja,the bulk of those I stand with prefer apologetic so called calculated politics. I’m an activist and do not apologise for my belief in people power. I must say, I’m reaching a point where it seems I belong more to my classroom where my phuma led in defeating bingu, it gets frustrating to be in a party everyone wantsand is looked up but it is afraid of its own power, I feel like a person dying of thirst when I’m in a river. Me and my phuma seem to belong elsewhere.
29/01/2016, 06:44 –+265 999 54 44 70: Zimatopetsadi JK
