Proper diversification of the predominantly agro-based economy is going to make Malawi a vibrant and strategic economy in view of...
My friend, if Malawi was a country that was working well viz-a-viz Rwanda, then you had a case. But we are failing in the most basic of the basics.
If you save time, then what do you invest it in?
We are in the current setting a very unproductive country, and hence the saving of a few hours with the status quo will not make a dent in our countries fortunes.
i wonder if the one posted above article did philosophy….to me logically this is not what the Dr meant for instance ,he didn’t mean life of people or patients are less as to compare with the current need of plane he meant to say that drugs in hospitals will be needed at all time whilst this plane once purchased we have closed the chapter of need ok….
Again, a very patriotic piece The Wise One. Left to me, I would not buy this useless man even a toy plane. Real planes are for productive individuals, this indolent is not, has never been and will never be productive!
Muzamudziwa iyeyo weniweni. Presidential jet ndi ya office ya president osati Peter. Ife sitizalola Chakwela kuzamayenda pakabanza monga achitira wanuyu. 2014 chakwera bomaaaa! Mcp yagwira nsewu as the journey continues
The message from Malawians is loud and clear, sitikufuna kuti ofesi ya President igule ndege! APM and his army of advisors should get this message loud and clear. Inu a DPP or Mulakho or whatever, osazitengela hard nkhaniyi. Its not about APM, or Chaponda or Mwanamveka, its about the economy! Even if it was Chakwera or Amai ruling, Malawians wouod have opposed buying a Presidential jet!
I dnt knw what you mean by that.its as if you are someone from outside who doesnt know or care about this beloved nation.stop being political and analyse things as they are knowing that every single rubbish you spit will only but besmirch the good name we have always been known with..you are a wise one i guess,though i see nothing worth pointing as coming from a wise folk..it will be cool if stay neutral,and will definately have you as a lad from mama Malawi..
I have always enjoyed reading thoughtful articles by my good friend ‘Wise Man From The East’. He has not disappointed with this article either. He has raised very good points. Folks, I am not trying to minimize the importance of medicine, roads or education in Malawi. All I am saying is that a presidential plane can help us solve these problems permanently. How? You see, our traditional donors are gone. They may not be coming back. They have given all sorts of reasons as to why they cannot support us. That is only partially true. The real reason is that… Read more »
Hello Dr Ngalande, Just to chip in, 1) If the president has none of the dreams you are talking about (enticing Silicon entrepreneurs to invest in Malawi for example) – having proved visionless this far, I fail to see how a plane will help Malawi. 2) At the CHOGM, and on other trips he has made, he has had opportunities to meet donors and investors – without having a plane. What value would having a plane have added to those meetings? And did he make the meetings count? This far we have yet to see. 3) Medicine shortages are a… Read more »
I think the wise one didn’t get the article right, all the arguments he has written are off points and may be the wiseman has never travelled at all, All points that have been raised by the wiseone are very invalid and ridiculous, Malawi could have saved a lot if the President bought a presidential jet, firstly you need to understand that First class and Business class are double or sometimes 3 times cost of economy class, and you need to count all the bodyguards who normally go with President to be in Business class, This type of thinking are… Read more »
Does this man, (hope his is a man) know what he is talking about? Does he know how much it costs to maintain a jet whether flying or idle? And when it flies, does he know how much fuel it uses? Assuming we had a jet at the time UNGA was held, is he telling the readers that the 100 plus delegates APM took would have fitted in the jet thereby saving huge sums that would have been spent on air tickets? With the jet, the government will have to employ the cabin crew which has to be paid whether… Read more »
No one can argue with this analysis. Great job Wise one. If and when Mathanyula shows up and performs I will personally buy him a jet but he has to prove to the nation that he deserves one, so far he has failed miserably.
Dear Wise one from the east,
Your wisdom has been poured out and is flowing steadily on this drainage (ngalande). This means that he will never listen to you or he will despise your wisdom. Cedric Ngalande, Nakoma, Luther Mambala, Kondwani Nankumwa and mammoth blind followers of the DPP are just useless noise makers earning a living and are on our hard-earned tax payroll for defending mediocrity. Most of the commentators on this forum are either beneficiaries or hardcore obvious brutes from the south.
