The whole razzmatazz of elections in Malawi is exaggerated. What matters in the eyes of the electorate are the policies put forward by the different parties. Why all those brightly coloured shirts/zitenges, etc. with the faces of the party leaders on them? There should be no place for hand-outs/bribes during an election campaign in a democracy. The campaigning parties should be listening to the electorate and finding out what the people want their government to do as well as proclaiming their policies.

If MPS will not pass the bill to ban handouts during election we will ask CMD and Malawians who love their country to hold vigil at the Parliamentbuilding.

The bill MUST be supported.Political handouts to individuals can be classified as soliciting bribes with an intent to score something in return. This is unethical.
MPs can still be voted for if they indulge in assisting the communities through building clinics, providing boreholes, helping building churches, assisting funding on bridges constructions among other things.
This can be done by every citizen as part of his social responsibility and should not be for the purpose of political campaign. However, this could be a good gesture to score on compaigns.It can not be classified as unethical.
