Every system has its own merits and demerits. What educated Malawians need to do is to roll out civics in primary and secondary education to enlighten the citizens on the government system in use (as well as other available forms of government), so that Malawians can make informed choices. Kamuzu failed to allow Malawians to own televisions; now televisions are here, civics is no longer taught in schools to enlighten the citizens. Many educated Malawians cannot even make informed decisions for themselves.

This article by a Kaufulu is meant to be anti-federalist,kill the debate and continue with the unitary system that oppresses and suppresses regions that are less populated. Malawi has defacto federal structures in place. All major churches,ie catholic and anglican have appointed bishops administering dioceses. CCAP has synods . Government has heads of department in each region eg police,education,agriculture etc. Every major political party has an elected regional governor or chairman in each region,yet the country is not divided as preached by the anti-federalists. I therefore dont see any problem to democratise the defacto federal system that exists in malawi… Read more »

If the incumbent leader wants to keep Malawi as one he should look into the issues of those who want Federalism or Session and not bury his head in the sand and just suggest a referendum

When we talk of quota system is it not one way of equal distribution of the resources (National cake)? It means Nchisi, Neno, Phalombe, Dowa etc are now able to send 10 children to public Universities. Imagine Machinga up to now does not have a Govt boarding secondary school, should we deny 10 children from Machinga from attending Public University because it is a poor district? Then how do we expect Machinga to develop? This is why others are saying anthu ena akuzikonda. Anthu ena akufuna zonse zikhale zao. Lets distribute education and other resources equally and people stop calling… Read more »

The issue is not Quota system but the question is why is Machinga allowed to be poor when Bakili and Atupele come from there, do they only look after themselves ?

That’s the whole reason people are fighting for federalism; so that those in power should not only be developing their own homes but the whole country should equitably develop.

If you go to Livingstonia synod headquarters you will find a poster saying speaking Chichewa is prohibited, meaning they hate the language and the speaker of the language in equal terms. You will not find this no sense anywhere in the south even in Magochi or thyolo. it mean minus the north the rest of the country is united and there is no hatred among them. The solution is simple LET THEM GO KWAWO. kAYA AZIKAKHAPANA AZIKAKHAPANA KWAWOKO. No wander there is no single party representing the majority views of these people kwawoko. LET THEM GOOOOOOOOOO PLEASE. NGATI TRANSPORT INGAVUTA… Read more »
