This piece has highlighted the obvious. This can only be achieved through constitutional means to empower the process. Who initiates constitutional changes? The party in power may not have motivation to do so because they are busy ripping off this impoverished nation. You cannot blame them! Blame the politics and the very foundation of our ill-envisioned democratization process.

Nice piece Kachaje, and I for one agree with you. There should be number of long-term core projects for the country and party manifesto’s should only sell to citizens issues about efficiency (what they would do differently to deliver the desired outcomes with less costs, time, etc). Parties may also bring add-ons that must not be delivered at the expense of the core projects. Having said that – one question that needs careful consideration I believe is..who will lead that process. Suppose DPP agrees to formulate the national agenda – who will be involved in the process, how will priorities… Read more »

For me this article is rather frustrating. Maybe I am being too harsh a judge expecting too much from an article (news snippet) intended for public consumption. However, given the fact economist opinions matter in Malawi and is central to setting the development national agenda I can be forgiven for expecting more intellectual outburst with specific strategic tenets for the so called vision. Writing in generalities like this serves only to confuse and not construct. Let me explain. Where is the wisdom of telling a drowning person that you need a vision that rescues you, saves your life so that… Read more »

A very patriotic piece! Kudos for that. When we were doing away with the colonial administration we looked (or at least our leaders were or gave us the self-belief we were) very hopeful of the future. Maybe it was the same when we were doing away with the one-party governance but I am certain there is no such hope for the future at present because our pseudo-leaders have never cared a hoot about the country and generations to come!

In my opinion, this is probably the best and deepest article I have ever read on Nyasatimes since its creation. Proud that it is coming from our own Malawian writer. At least it shows that there are other patriotic Malawians out there who are thinking above political,tribal and regional lines. Putting Malawi first. Bravo Mr. Kachaje and Nyasatimes for this wonderful contribution.
