Opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Secretary General Grezelder Jeffrey has lambasted former President Peter Mutharika for denouncing the rally she organized at Mgona in Lilongwe which was presided over by leader of opposition Kondwani Nankhumwa.

On Sunday, Jeffrey wa Jeffrey together with Nankhumwa organized a rally at Mgona in Lilongwe where a number of challenges locking the country were highlighted.

But in a statement Mutharika described the move by the two as indiscipline and disloyalty.

“Ms. Grezelder Jeffrey never consulted the party and its leadership to seek approval for the rally that was conducted on May 1, 2022 presided over by Honourable Kondwani Nankhumwa. Had Ms. Jeffrey consulted, she would have been directed that this rally be conducted elsewhere and or at some other time,” said Mutharika.

Reacting to the claims, Jeffrey wa Jeffrey said as DPP chief executive officer, she does not have to report everything she does in her capacity to the party’s president and the National Government Council.

“Even when a president appoints Cabinet ministers, do they report everything they do to the president? Why did the party give me the position in the first place?” said Jeffrey.

Meanwhile, Mutharika has threatened to take unspecified action on the two.
