Malawi’s ruling Democrtaic Progressive Party (DPP) national organising secretary Richard Makondi has filed a libel lawsuit against Times Group over a report...
Mr VP why not enter into bilateral agreement with the China government so that they should be doing all the construction work for us.The Chinese have an impeccable record of being efficient when doing things.Examples are the Karonga-Chitipa road and the LL stadium.
Don’t we have follow-up procedures in ensuring that we get things done according to laid-down agreements? Just naming them is not enough. If you know the culprits, why not bring them to court and stand as witness? The monitoring mechanism of the construction (or any other) projects is the one to blame. Why not reform this mechanism first or fire those entrusted with such responsibilities?
Perhaps the construction industry is just following the example set by Malawi’s government. Why bother to be honest and open when your leaders do not punish the corrupt among them?
So the Cancer Centre delay is a product of corruption? This country stinks. I hope Chilima becomes Presisent to clean up this mess
O………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….O With the Nation Newspaper editorial, I cant agree more. You see . . . . . . This strategy of naming to shame is based on the assumption that people have integrity hence a sense of shame and umunthu; and therefore will feel embarrassed if they are named. . . . But is this assumption true? Not at all! coz if anyone willingly engages themselves in these corrupt practices, its clear, they have not even a kilobyte of integrity. . . .

Is it not that when we are given a responsibility we also have authority? Integrity will emanate from consistently doing the right things using the authority provided. We all know that almost in every major case all those given authority go back to the appointing authority for the final direction if you think the right things are not being done why not tender a resignation on the basis that you… Read more »
We are tired with those empty threats Mr Vice president. We need action nothing else.
More speeches, more threats. These threats and speeches are tiring. It is now time for action. Walk the talk Mr. VP
I dare him to carry out his threat of naming and shaming. The delay of the cancer centre was not because of corruption but incompetence. Who in this country is clean? In addition we are not backward because theft and corruption but lack of brains. What can one steal in a country whose budget is under $2 billion? Corruption is in Nigeria, Kenya Pakistani etc osati kuno where $30 million frightens us.
we have listened to this song for so long a time, from politicians, from the media and from the appropriate bodies. now is the time to act. don’t hide any names. that culture of threatening to name and shame the culprits should be a thing of the past. let’s have the suspects’ names please
