Honestly, I get your analysis of the issues at stake in the entire appointment. Second, is that you are not after being flattered with the elevation but that your fellow country men should learn how sensitive matters of this nature are often bulldozed while leaving a lot to be desired.
I like the analysis. You are a true academic. Lets wait to hear a response from the state
kaya ine ndingofunsa nawonsotu basi kuti ngati anangolemba pa blog yake koma akufuna yankho from the appointing authoroties kodi ma appointing authorities wo alinawonso pa blog yakeyo? sometimes we think we are communicating when we are not
Am reminded of the memorable moments i sat to absorb from your wealth of legal knowledge and analytical skills. You always inspire me Mfundisi.
But you are wrong. “Has appointed ” is a present perfect tense. It can refer to an action that started taking place in the past and is ongoing in the present. Do google the present perfect tense in English. “Has appointed ” is not a simple case of the present tense
Luka, I agree also with that interpretation of ‘has’. It can mean both now or before. If before why did they wait for such a time gap elapse and announce now?
I think this is an iron-clad example of being critical and challenging the status quo, not just being mechanistic and descriptive. I think if we keep questioning why things are the way they are will lead to a better grasp of issues. I sense that there’s alot happening in Malawi, most of which is being swept under the rug. Only time will tell, seems the water level is pervasively rising, the swimmers may just need to abandon ship. As a fellow mfundisi, I say to you Mr Madise, “keep up the good work, your critical analysis is succinct! “
‘Has appointed’ is an example of the present perfect tense. This tense is used to say that an action happened at an unspecified time BEFORE NOW. Consequently, despite its name, it does not refer to present time.
be humane……ine ndangoseka nawo
Well articulated article. Those who question why this article has to be on Nyasatimes also have the right to do so, but as Umfundisi, it is your duty Mr (soon Doctor) Madise to provoke thinking in your readers as well as scholars. It will be a good start point for those who are really ready to defend the Constitution.
