Bad choice! What is more important for the people of Malawi, wealth or health? A short-sighted decision on the part of APM. ‘Tobacco Kills!’

President asowa zochita uyu. He is now doing the job of minister of commerce and trade or something like that. Private company deals signed by the whole president? Kwakwakwakwa! He wants to be seen working.

Malawi are looking to him to solve the power blackout problems, water shortage problems, housing problems, road infrastructure problems, hospital facilities problems, school desks problems and many more not being involved in private companies who are here to suck profits.

Manufacturing tobacco does not lead to wealth for the country. Check the negatives first. The more tobacco is made available to Malawian consumers, the more consumers develop cancer and other related diseases and as a result the more money they spend on MASM and other hospital related expenses. The more consumers are sick or die the more poor the consumers become. That is not wealth generation. That is enriching the manufacturers!!

You haven’t mentioned what the $20,000 donation is meant for. Hope the donation is not going in the pocket of a certain individual.

Corruption ipose apa! Why should the president be involved in such a small matter? What is $20,000.00 for?

They will negotiate tax holiday and underpay and abuse Malawians and you will keep quiet because you received $20,000.00.

Failed state. Does an investment needs the nod of a whole president? What are the technocrats doing on their desks? This donation, is it not a bribe? How can this be presented to APM and not the people of Malawi?
