During a gathering organised to clean the party’s Central Region office in Lilongwe on Sunday, she cautioned MCP members not to punish their fellows suspected of fraud simply because they did not benefit from the scheme. Kabwila stated that it is painful to hear that “others were receiving billions”, saying she understood the frustration because the spoils should have been shared. She said: “Tisayerekeze kugenda munthu wathu chifukwa ife sitinadye nawo zimene anabazo.
Akanena kuti Kabwila, adalandira mwakutimwakuti, ndi zowawa chifukwa adayenera kugawana ndi anzake. Sikuti ndi zonama. Ndi zowawa kuti anthu mwayenda ulendo, muli mbuu!
Ena amalandira ma billion. [Let us not stone our own because we did not benefit. If Kabwila is said to have received this much, that is painful because she was supposed to share with friends.

This is not a lie. It is painful that after a long journey, you have nothing when others received billions.]” But yesterday Kabwila said her speech was not meant for the public, saying she regretted sharing with the world what was meant for internal consumption. Reacting to the development, Political Science Association spokesperson Mavuto Bamusi called for accountability, describing the remarks as unfortunate as they reflect the deepening post-election accountability crisis within the MCP.
Political commentator Wonderful Mkhutche agreed with Bamusi that the remarks revealed that MCP is aware of the alleged looting and corruption that happened in the government under its watch. Financial Intelligence Authority (FIA) on January 21 2026 froze 16 bank accounts connected to Greenbelt Authority (GBA) officials alleged to have been involved in corruption.
