UTM disciplinary listening to: Beleaguered Michael Usi boycotts proceedings
By Twink Jones Gadama
In a dramatic flip of occasions, Beleaguered Vice President Michael Usi has introduced that he won’t attend the disciplinary listening to scheduled by the United Transformation Movement (UTM) for Monday, December 30, in Lilongwe.
The UTM disciplinary listening to committee had summoned Usi to seem earlier than it, however he has refused, citing the illegitimacy of the leaders who invited him.
“How can I go to a hearing, yet the one inviting me was elected at an illegal convention? I won’t go,” Usi mentioned in an interview.
This stance isn’t a surprise, provided that Usi had beforehand boycotted the UTM conference that elected new National Executive Committee (NEC) members, labeling it as an “illegal convention”.
The controversy surrounding Usi’s management and his refusal to take part within the disciplinary listening to has sparked debate about his intentions.
Some argue that Usi’s actions are aimed toward destabilizing the social gathering, as he allegedly seeks to associate with the Malawi Congress Party (MCP).
Usi’s historical past with UTM is advanced. He robotically grew to become the social gathering’s president after the demise of former President Saulos Chilima in a airplane crash in keeping with UTM Constitution.
However, his management has been marred by controversy, and the latest conference that elected new NEC members has solely added to the tensions.
The disciplinary listening to committee’s choice to summon Usi was doubtless a response to his latest accusations towards some UTM prime officers, whom he alleged had embezzled funds.
However, with Usi’s refusal to attend the listening to, it stays to be seen how the scenario will unfold.
As the drama continues to play out, one factor is obvious: the way forward for UTM and its management hangs within the steadiness. Will Usi’s boycott of the disciplinary listening to mark the start of a brand new chapter for the social gathering, or will it result in additional instability?
