Someone only remembers the billions PP and company stole from govt account #1. Unfortunately he can’t even make a mention of the whopping 577 billion kwacha DPP and it’s opportunists robbed of the govt.

Let us learn to be objective in our analysis and arguments otherwise we are the same people breeding corrupt and arrogant politicinas.

A few days ago I listened to the Minister of Finance of RSA presenting a budget in which he allocated a whooping 707 billion rands to basic education for the next 3 years. This translates to MK31 trillion and wondered what type of economy Malawi has. MK906 billion translates to 20 billion rands at current exchange rate and we want to waste our energies on this budget that is aggressively anti development. As a country we need to reflect seriously on our economic activities. It’s unacceptable that as country we have a budget that is even nothing compared to an… Read more »

Nothing new here. The world economy is in turmoil, climate change has hit the whole of southern Africa, donors have withdrew 40% budget support under PP which stole billions through cashgate. The result of all this is the poor situation that we find ourselves in. Lets support government work to solve the challenges, not pretend that if Joyce Banda or Jesse Kabwila were in power then everything would be sweet……. unless we are dull of course which unfortunately most citizens are.

Live within your means! A country cannot live on handouts forever. Cut expenditure to match your revenue streams. Families do it, why can’t govt?

Food crisis is due to insufficient rains out of our control, but kwacha depreciation has been exagerrated when we need to import maize,. We cannot afford to depreciate our currency by almost 100%. It will be impossible for kwacha to come back to 600 as exporters like Limbe leaf, JTI, Africa leaf, are keeping 100% of there export dollars. WHy is this when through colonial times exporters have only be allowed to keep only 60% of there dollars. why is Chuka allowing this.why cant he go back to old policy

Someone is blaming atumbuka here to divert attention of their failures .
Woe to you who thrive on nepotism. You cover your inadequacy by finding scapegoats. Of course your obvious scapegoat is atumbuka.
I wonder how the ministers of health and agriculture could be underperforming and yet you are still blaming atumbuka??? This can only happen in Malawi where tribalism has blinded even the so called learned.
