Aid makes people LAZY! If we started dealing with our own problems (paying school fees for our children and paying for HEALTH Care as well) this would have KNOCKED SOME SENSE in THESE PEOPLE!!!

Well thought and well articulated Mr Analyst. Wakumva wamva osamva bvuto lake limenelo. Now the crunch is that all malawians are suffering. But one thing is sure.

Putting aside the complicated world of donors, government (mis)management of finances and resources, and our struggling private sector, discussions of “poverty lines” are difficult to digest. A rough estimate from our beloved donors is that each person needs about MK30,000 invested in them every month to maintain their basic needs. Of course part of this 30k figure is made up intangible/non-cash things that individuals don’t directly invest in like decent health centres staffed with decent nurses, so it’s not like handing people 30k cash elevates them above Mangani’s poverty line. But why set the bar so low? The analogy of… Read more »
