Depending on donors has made our leaders dull.They can’t think of ways how our country can develop.Look,we have our beautiful lake with fresh waters but taps are always dry.Believe me munthu akasiya kuthandizidwa nzeru zimabweramo then we shall see Malawi developing.

I wrote an article recently on Cashgate and International Aid and predicted that British aid will now go entirely into NGOs in Malawi and will be even more difficult to control fom London than when it went to government ministries in Lilongwe. That is what is now happening. Until DFID does the actual work on the ground in Malawi ( which it cannot do) and delivers aid directly to poor families, there will always be huge leakages into the pockets of the rich and powerful. No-one in Malawi or in Britain will ever believe the obvious fact that —- AID… Read more »

My free advice to APM, the development partners are able to see very far. They cant be cheated. They know that the cashgate’s effective year is 2005. They do not think you are serious when you talk of cashgate only with effect from 2012. They also watch all your moves and style of how you are also helping yourself from government coffers. They watch your Attorney General’s lack of seriousness in cases in which your home Lomwes claim and awarded billions of Kwachas. How on this earth could an unsuccessful bidder be awarded for failing to clinch the deal? How… Read more »

Malawian should know that time has come for Malawians to look inside themselves in order to solve their problems. Britain is broke, they have their own mountains of problems.

This is a good development, unlike seeing some lady build a huge house with money meant to help the poor!

No wonder and maybe system stealing right from the top men can stop. Our politicians have no sense of responsibility for the poor.

The British can go to hell with their aid. Malawi’s friend indeed China will continue providing aid; building beautiful roads, beautiful universities; magnificent national stadiums; parliament building; five star hotels and University of Mombera in Mzimba etc. Can you ask the British to name one thing they have done in Malawi and they will not point at anything. Shame on Britain

Britain has been pouring aid into Malawi for 50 years since Independence. Prior to that when Malawi was the Nyasaland Protectorate Britain stopped the slave trade in Malawi. The British also established the civil service, the postal service, the education service, and a health service (hospitals, clinics, etc.). They also built roads and a railway to the coast and put passenger boats on the Lake. They established a police service, a judiciary and an army. Where would Malawi be without the British? Sanya Ngumbi you are talking through your hat. Please don’t show everyone your ignorance.

Nobody is perfect. Many NGOs are also crooks. The targeted beneficiaries do not benefit. What they know is to cook false indicators and reports. These need external auditors too.

The usual nonsense from International Aid agencies in Malawi like DFID !! The essence of it is that we (DFID) have been doing the Malawian government’s own job (in Health, Education etc) and if we are not allowed to continue doing that job then Malawians will have no Health or Education. Do we really believe that the ex-colonial power in Malawi is the only one which can rule Malawi, fifty years after independence?? Do we really believe that the money Britain saves the Malawian government from spending to do its own job will go to good causes in Malawi ??… Read more »
