Vehicles with expired MOT on our political roads

The political highway in Malawi is littered with vehicles whose MOT expired long time ago.

These vehicles have no insurance cover hence putting the lives of Malawians at risk.

Year of make, 1958. Last service 1964 and insurance records show that they were last insured in 1966. What are they still doing on our political roads?

Every vehicle needs to be tested each year to ensure that it complies with at least the minimum road safety and environmental standards.

Alas! records indicate that the Anglia's and Zefas on our political roads need a quick replacement as they have never been tested for years.

Malawians are questioning the future of the political highway particularly with the fact that these cars produce Co2 emissions , which are polluting our political air.

Carbon Dioxide is the most important of the greenhouse gases which are contributing to the climate change, unless action is taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbon dioxide, the whole pattern of the world’s weather will change .

Now ,imagine the carbon dioxide being produced by these out of time motor vehicles, what a political pandemonium are they causing in our country. A point which is not disturbing political traffic inspectors only but the society in general.

Malawians are troubled that these vehicles are being driven along the presidential drive. This road joins the city center and the State House. It is at the State house where parliament convenes.

The emissions these vehicles produce have polluted the whole August house..

The noise emitted by these 1958 vehicles is so unbearable around the makeshift parliament building Hence not for the good of our country.

These vehicles need to be withdrawn, yes, retire them from our political roads.

These expired vehicles hence they are now boycotting parliament have affected the parliamentarians.

Can someone clamp these vehicles! How can constructive parliamentarian deliberations go on with these vehicles on sight?

No wonder Bingu prologues parliament.

These vehicles have passed there time, manufacturers stopped making spare parts for these cars in 1971 when they thought that they had made them for life.

Nowhere in the world can one find spare parts for these motor vehicles and yet they are still parked at Malawi’s parliament building. What a shame!

These motor vehicles should be swapped with modern computerised cars, those that can drive fast and make sensible noise on our political highway.

We want political vehicles that pose a real challenge, high efficiency, high performance and low emissions, these are our mutually exclusive goals.

The quality of our political highway depends on a wide range of complex issues ranging from the removal of expired vehicles to a complete replacement of these motor vehicles with well computerised cars.

There are many issues that are essential to the development and economic growth of a country but these can be considered as an after thought, the main barrier to progress is the keeping of these 1958 made motor vehicles on our political avenues.

How can a country keep political motor vehicles that were manufactured in 1958, No MOT ,no insurance cover and above all service was last done in 1964.

If politics in Malawi is to transform, the thinking in our Parliament is supposed to change.

The pollution in our political environment should be cleared. Something is polluting our political air. It is these motor vehicles of 1958 origin.
