Stop lying to yourselves. South Africa actually banned the use of drones three years ago because criminals were flying contra band into prisons….Is South Africa in Asia?

What’s wrong with this picture? All healthy bloated tummy guys in suits and dark glasses looking on as khaki pants cool and casual white boys demonstrate the technology. How can those suited bloated tummy fools manage or learn to operate this? They will take it to their three story houses and hold as trophies – trust me – mbava za cashgate izi

Mbuli nonse muli pano. What’s wrong with experimenting a faster way to deliver HIV and other tests? Learn to accept experimentation and not just be RISK AVERSE. Think of the potential business opportunities out of this. We have had this technology yamalichero since when – but we never made good use of it – just delivering death portions to neighbors, now the white guys have evolved and innovated the same technology and delivered to us ndiye – kukana. Machende anu nonse. Let’s try this and embrace development. You don’t want GAY RIGHTS, but you want EVANGELICAL CHRISTIANITY and ISLAM. Mbuli… Read more »

We can use them during elections to deliver materials and results. But probably not good in terms of security. Some “idiot” could send a bomb and then there could be a “polobulemu”. Think carefully. There could be abuse.

What we need is health facilities to be available within reach of everyone and not blood samples to be ferried from remote mchinji to lilongwe central. we don’t have adequate health personell and whereever these blood samples will be delivered the personell there will be overwhelmed with work. in the end same old same old. and be careful Malawi might end up as an experimental ground for these things whose effects we are yet to understand. Even in america jeff Bezzos is not allowed to deliver barbied dolls and kindles using drones. Bwino nazo zinthu zoti sitinazimvetse, tingayambe kuvulala nazo.

Poor malawians, tisamangovomereza chilichonse, this technology has more negatives than positives apart from the high operational costs. it poses a risk of being misused by smugglers and terrorists. already several european countries are failing to control drones as they are flown over state houses, military sites and several sensitive areas, some have sometimes confused tampered with aeroplanes. imagine the devastation that can be caused by a 1kg explosive carried by the drone. chenjerani

Develop a rapid diagnostic test, that can detect antigen not antibody and there will be no need for this. Our bio research technians are idiots, all they want kulimbana ndi ma doctors, work in your labs and solve shis diagnostic problem others white boys will come and experiment with out children and health care system. Kampulume be critical when appraising innovations do not just read the speaches they write for you. I doubt anyway if you are medical doctor not biologist, you talk nonsense!

This is a failing Ministry. You are rushing to something advanced you are failing the basics. Does it imply anything from outside should just be accepted? Let tell these people that some of the methodologies are not in our priorities. Do not make things upside down.
