In an effort to completely eradicate financial illiteracy in the country, the Reserve Bank of Malawi (RBM) is developing a...
Frankly,if the Western donor nations could insert stringent rules over their finances ,Malawi and other African nation’s could have stopped inflicting unprecedented economic corruption in their countries .The British High Commissioner’s Anti Corruption Summit,is by no means a catalyst for neutrorising uncontrolled and tragic corruption.So Mr.gonapamuhanya,the fact that the colonizer stole much of our resources are Malawi leaders obliged to steal public funds randomly?And if money stolen from Africa ends up in the West,where therefore,is the money stolen from Malawi ends up? No matter how many summits,the British High Commissioner would hold,corruption in Malawi is irreversible because it has spread… Read more »
I know you are being diplomatic but the biggest culprit here is Peter himself and his leadership. As many others have pointed out, he speaks only what he thinks the west or donors want to hear but no actual action on the ground. No action because he is himself heavily involved in the corruption. The analyst has hit the nail on Peter. He and his dpp gurus are the most corrupt and for that reason, he is watering down all tough bills which would have made Malawi more democratic and instilling more good governance. Why is he afraid? The next… Read more »
Here is some heartfelt advice coming from a donor nation representative. You can see the tone and ambassador Nevin seems to know very well Malawi’s root problems than we ourselves can imagine or ponder to resolve. Unfortunately, it is hitting some deaf ears at State House and capital hill. Sad
Not Good at all
Yes, Your Excellency, our president has indeed set the tone; but he must now lower that threshold/bar and begin mass sackings of those caught up in corruption or theft. Its gonna be brutal, ghastly even. It is estimated that over 30% of Malawi government financial resources are stolen annually (Fahad Assan et al, 2003), implying that if this problem were addressed the impact would be far-reaching. Putting politics aside, APM needs to get TOUGH, “mentally” (- a weird thing to say about a former “distinguished” professor of law), if he is gonna make a dent on corruption/theft. Sir, the last… Read more »

If govt allows nobody to seek a mere traditional chief para-services without a consultation fee (chabwalo) while on govt salary do you expect somebody to talk to well trained civil servants without consultation fees? Illegalise this premitive culture then you will see locals resisting palm-oiling govt officials for any service.
O……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..O “The message you have given us from the Lord is good.” – Isaiah 39:8 Sadly no one is listening or wants to listen, . . . coz they are so deeply involved in this evil you now speak against, that they have chosen to close their ears. The most unfortunate part is that even those who are expected to help curb the vice, are involved in it. ………………………………………………………………………… Rightly observed that APM has set the right tone againt corruption . . . . . . but a right tone that’s not complemented with right and consistent action is, in… Read more »
One Nigerian president told Cameron that money stolen in Africa ends up in the west. What does the highly esteemed ambassador from UK say? Who have stolen much of our resources starting from the precolonial era? Who is a bigger thief?
what is the connection there Ben?
