There is no question that the country needs Access to Public Information legislation, ATPIL or ATI, if you want. ATI is a key to transparency, accountability, responsiveness, and legitimacy. In fact, ATI would be a solution to most problems dogging our beautiful nation, Malawi, because it empowers the public to monitor their servants – those entrusted with leadership. My fear however is that the way the issue of ATI is put forth is as if it is solely an agenda by the media and for the media. The media ought to work to divorce themselves from ATI while setting agenda… Read more »

Thom Khanje is himself DPP! He should not be surprised that the bill is not going to be tabled coz he (Khanje) knows the party inside out!

Mr. Khanje, I do understand your frustrations.

Mr Khanje you are accusing people who cannot answer back. It is Nankhumwa whom you should accuse because he is Minister of Information and govt spokesperson and he can answer back. Mr Khanje on this you have goofed big time. If this is how you will act as Chairperson of Misa then you will bring Misa into disrepute. Public servants whom you call technocrats work under the directions of Ministers and the president. I assure… Read more »

I am also surprised that he is accusing the wrong people like that. You see now how hopeless you become when you allow your conscious to be compromised for cheap gains. You are now unable to face these politicians incase they remind you of the road you traveled together.
