The Mulanje South West lawmaker issued the warning after some opposition members of parliament called him names such as , maizegater and Kaloswe when he stood to contribute to the SONA in the house.

According to Chaponda, it is unfortunate for people to call him such names when the courts have cleared him of wrong doing in the scandal to do with purchase of maize from Zambia.

The warning also comes weeks after the High Court in Zomba cleared him in an appeal case of possessing K95 million in his house.

The ruling upheld an earlier judgment by the magistrate court which had cleared the veteran politician of the accusation brought before the upper court by the Anti Corruption Bureau.
