Some of this discussions are useless and meant to to divert Malawian away from important issues such as economy, for a start federalism is useless for a small country like malawi which can be governed with only ten people including the president and its cabinet. Malawi is too small this system of governance will just end up duplicating jobs and resource wastage as more money will be allocated to politicians managing those regions Remember a governer is more the same like the president, he have his cabinet and run his own regional program a small country like ours it will… Read more »

Too many supporters of federalism seem unable to distinguish between rational argumentation and blind faith. They believe in federalism despite all reasonable counter-arguments. They should try to read Professor Chirwa’s article on this forum. If they can systematically and logically refute any components of his analysis, they should do so. If they cannot, however, they should not advertise their intellectual incapacity by filling the columns of ‘Nyasatimes’ with their Declarations of Faith in the False God of Federalism.

Calls for federalism sound so nice and the system itself is nice for the power sharing sake. I suggest that it can be a solution to some of challenges regarding development of the nation.

Malawi at this time needs devolution of power to districts for meaningful development. I think we should talk about enhancement of decentralisation as councillors are in place now.

Decentralisation of power is very commendable. Federalism is very attractive. But I wonder if this will really achieve what we want in Malawi. Consideration of Federalism, as I see it, really arose from the Northeners’ dissapointment with APM’s failure to choose not even one from that part of the country as a Minister. From this follows that people believe having one of your kindred as a Minister equals guaranteed development. Perhaps it would help if people,not exactly disregarding what is being said on this matter left and right but rather intelligently sizing it all, sat down to think the matter… Read more »

I’m in total support of federalism but it seems its advocates are failing to articulate the bottom line. only if Bakili Muluzi can be roped in, to advance this agenda then only then will the masses understand what we are talking about here.
