Thanks Mr McConnell for raising this conncern on our behalf. all that has been said in this article is very true. I am in the process of filing a visa application for my boss but its boring and time consuming. He is supposed to attend to a conference which happens yearly and he has been attending it. the past two yrs he missed the conferences just because the passport came late. Apanso ndikutha kuona asakupita.

You can keep your Britain and we will keep our Malawi. Infact do not issue visas as there is plenty work in Malawi in the farms. If somebody is able to pay MK720,000 for an air ticket, why then complain of visa fee. Put it at Pound 100 for easy accounting. And also stop all these thieves who steal our money here keeping the loot in your banks. We have one cashgateress Joyce Banda who is now a fugitive from justice and she is always in UK advising the British on how to steal money from their people. The British… Read more »

It’s sad and depressing at times. Poor people are treated unfairly. Many feel marginalised. The system is only for the richest people in Malawi to make it worse it’s the poor who cough everything through the tax system that is oftenly abused by those in power. My advise please ensure Malawians get better education then it will minimise these un fair practices. Open up trade routes so that they can trade fairly.

I agree with Lord McConnell 1000percent. I at some point in 2012, assisted my GrandMa to access UK Visa.

The process was rediculous and prohibitive. I sometimes wonder if UK really colonized Malawi because she behaves like we have been at war sometime back. I think the French are better. That’s my view

This man is indeed a true friend of Malawians. Please Peter Mutharika, inform the nation when this guy is coming to Malawi, so that I can see and give him a goat for a bank holiday braiii.
