Does anybody in Government read such articles?

Anybody with a conscious; a sense of national and self pride would hang down his/her head with shame.

The Election Manifesto was the basis for people’s voting decisions. The manifesto has been thrown out of the window— a case of being voted into power under false pretenses. Isn’t that unlawful? Isn’t that deception?

Governed owes the people the promises that were made! Reneging on those promises is as unlawful as borrowing money and not repaying it!

Thumbs up Mr Idriss for the article. Glad to know there are still objective people in Malawi, a country full of selfish and unpatriotic individuals sorry to say. We are enemies of ourselves as far as development is concerned. No one to blame for our failures. Bad leadership! lack of visionary leaders.

I think the writer made a mistake.During the period that elder muntharika cut diplomatic relations with The UK the junior muntharika was not in charge of foreign affairs.At that time the minister of foreign affairs was Madame Etta Banda MP From Nkhata bay.It Was her who summoned the ambassador to protest the leaking of the cable and the criticism leveled against the President.Muntharika hired his brother later apparently in an effort to mend relations with the UK.

This article sums up what APM is… but nothing changes. The opposition seems mostly very quiet on these issues. DPP will win the 2014 elections by fair means or foul. Will Malawi live that long?

The problem with Chilima is his own decision making. I just wouldn’t understand how anyone needing change would choose to work with DPP. A party that fought and killed anyone in their way just to protect themselves from prosecution for the their misappropriation of government money. A party that ensured that it eliminated or sidelined any of its own founding members like Chimunthu just because they appeared to take a non shielding stand point towards cashgate ministers. If he really wanted to make a positive contribution and leave a lasting legacy of our country, this bicycle carrier passenger, Chilima should… Read more »

He can’t, if he was reading Nyasa Times, he couldn’t have been that daft. He reads foreign press like BBC that is why he reacted swiftly to the hyena report.

Nonsense. APM will win again in 2019 and, unless you join him, you will continue with your opposition garbage.

Stupid comment by a foolish hyena. Instead of appreciating and encouraging thinkers like the writer of this article you want to frustrate them.

Lomwes will gang behind thire stupid APM at whatever cost. Remember, when the death of Bingu was applauded by the rest of the people in Malawi, the Lomwes cried fervently, some even collapsing at the sight of Bingu’s coffin. Let’s just ensure that DPP does not return to power again in 2019.

Don’t hate the Lomwe people because the president is the Lomwe by tribe. If I can ask you people is it possible that the Lomwes are the ones who are confusing the president not to govern properly and let me assure you that not all the Lomwes voted for him. Please stop castigating the Lomwes.

To be honest with you the majority of Lomwes voted for their own. It’s a shame that their own don’t care about them. Imagine telling them to survive on grasshoppers and mice. The Lomwes may have made a mistake but they are still people. God’s people. Don’t insult them. You will need them in 2019. Anyway foolish as they are they will have forgotten by that time and still vote for him.9Y1kI

I like the thinking by Kanchenga. I for one wants APM out and would be happy to see him out now than in 2019. I just feel he has wasted too much of my time. But if his diehards, those who think like they have chicken brains, vote him to power again I am saying please go ahead to commit that mistake. What I know is the majority of people who will vote back mediocrity to power will be worse off than me in most aspects of life. They will continue to cry louder than after 2019 should they vote… Read more »

Yes indeed he will win. But what you should know is that where somebody wins somebody will lose. At first I thought it is Chakwera who lost the 2014 elections but no I saw him today in Nkhotakota driving a state of the art toyota. Fully paid for by the state. And yet winners in Thyolo being told to eat Mouse and grasshoppers or zitchetche or what ever you call them. These are the people who voted and celebrated in may 2014. Haven’t you any little shame left in you. Watching your very own suffering like that. All the writer… Read more »
