How Speaker duped Malawians

The current acrimonious don’t-push-me-down between Government and the Opposition has many political observers on the tailspin, to the point that some suggest communication between the two duelling sides has given the front seat to ludicrousness.

The problem with this kind of scenario is that both sides have abandoned the importance of communication for the maximisation of information flow and good governance, which either one of them is an integral part of.

Whether or not this development finds its roots in the Section 65 mindset we, still find the need for this madness to stop, because the noxious Kangaroo charade that is going on at the State House building is such a disturbing and embarrassing activity to the true proponents of democracy.

It is just a crude product of greed, infantile behaviour and to say the least the aftermath of idiocy from iguana eating moon bats and intellectual eunuchs!

People like Lovemore Munlo and other legal hawks should be in the forefront to help resolve this stalemate, by refusing to acknowledge and dismissing the current illegal sitting of Parliament and confirmed business as criminal and ugly bogus acts.

The whole process is such a terrible sham that has more or less turned our parliament into a "Gay Bar" or a dungeon of sex starved serial rapists and perverts.

Debate in Parliament without communication and participation of the Opposition, is perceptibly something, which we should condemn in the strongest terms. For when we look very closely at what parliamentary debate consists of, and see what standards it contemplates on, we’ll see the need why all parties must come together for deliberations.

Accurate. Parliamentary debate in multiparty Malawi has experienced a transmutation over the past 15 years.

However, many observers, as well as participants, feel that responsibility and accountability is becoming too fast and too far removed from the communication aspects of Parliamentary proceedings, and becoming too fast more of a borrowed shirt than a nation building and democracy consolidation function.

In situations such as the one on display at Parliament today, any non-forensics oriented nonconformist, such as the ill informed public, or even international observers, would go away staggered and bowled over at the inability of government to realise that it is on a wild goose chase that will take it to never land.

The general feeling is that the government Members of Parliament just like graffiti artists would like to immaturely take advantage of the boycott, to pass questionable Bills and confirm run of the mill candidates into their various positions.

Chimunthu Banda and his retarded wannabes are definitely in the hub of a treacherous and meaningless movement, one, which dampens expansive debate, and one, which segregates constructive democracy.

You have to be a lunatic or an imbecile to applaud such tantrums and legislative travesties.

What’s more, Parliamentary debate among other things is supposed to respond to governance concerns. It is a fashion of debate meant to concentrate just as much on the way the opinions on parliamentary agenda are obtained as the different opinions themselves.

Under normal circumstances, it is a very persuasive and exhaustive form of debate. And to bring our Parliament into disrepute the way this government is doing is to commit the most horrendous abuse of Legislative and Executive authority.

This abject minority government must know that Parliamentary debate brings entertainment and loyalty.

Parliamentary debate builds on the principle that if both sides of the political isle animatedly and intelligently execute parliamentary deliberations, it will influence the electorate in a positive manner. Thus the voters become tremendously important to national debate, and therefore the argumentation is targeted just as much to them as it is to the Business Committee prepared agenda.

As more and more people get attracted to Parliamentary deliberations, the movement will increase in recognition and esteem and become more than just a legislative boulevard or opportunity for passing Bills and making crucial confirmations of top public officials, but a campaign tool for all parties concerned.

This sitting of Parliament is a consuming blight, and a loathsome circus etched or tattooed deep at the core of our hard won democracy never to be erased by any mortal. Too Bad!
