Late Kamuzu Banda was a true Lion. He could kill his political opponents at wiil in the name of Unity. People from the North were the most affected because they were always regarded as rebels during his 30 year long harsh rule. Then Bakili Muluzi came in 1994. A Thief, who used to promise things that he could not do. A very good public speaker but a dangerous killer adopted from Banda's MCP. The guy who stole millions of Malawi money for his personal womanizing and business entities. Now we have ada Bingo Wamutharika. He is a very proud man who thinks he is more intelligent than any body else. Very nepotistic. A man who can buy himself a very expensive personal Jet and yet Nurses a crying to have the issue of their scholarships settled. He talks tough about financial discipline but he is a very bad spender. A man who can give 8 fertilizer coupons to a Group Village Leader. Will 8 coupons end hunger in a village of 50 smallholder farming families? I am Nyamazi signing off.

I would agree Mwalimu Julius Nyerere had admirable ideals. He knew when to step aside. But I do remember as he stepped aside, he regretted that his socialistic leaning policies had failed his people. Dr Kamuzu Banda,on the other hand, set goals to make his people self sufficent in food, clothing and shelter, which he succeeded to a large extent. Politically we know what happenned. I am told under Adolf Hitler, the German citizens actually had it good and prospered. Perhaps for true great leadership we should be looking at Moses. He led his people from slavery to their promised land. He had divine guidance rather than rely on human wisdom and understanding. I am surprized the bishops couldn't recognize, or at least acknowledge that! The road to perdition is paved with good intentions. I would agree Mwalimu Julius Nyerere had admirable ideals.

If I am wrong argue . We have many sectors that we need to change. Some company managers change only when the seating has passed away. What king of change are they talking about? The papas are there for life. Democracy should be implemented every where even among your children . If the change is from grass root, presidents will not cling on the presidency because they know and learned democracy right there at their homes. We need to change the way we eat the way we deal with others, the way we do everything. Then, obviously we will not have to tell the president to be democratic. He will be aware of his principles. There is something that will never change, we being an African. Unify the democracy that is the only solution to the problem The problem with the bishops is that they want to change the presidents but forgetting that among them also need a change.
