Pressure is mounting from various quarters in Karonga for the unconditional transfer of District Commissioner Rosemary Moyo and other top...
I like and support the idea of determining the secondary school from which a student was selected to university as one of the criteria for identifying needy students. Much as others may disagree to this, certainly it’s naive for those who afforded private secondary education to jostle with those indigent students from public secondary schools for benefitting from the loan facility.
The depth of a well is known when the well dries up. These days, public safety nets have been replaced by private ones funded from stealing from and looting of the treasury through fraud. Those without access to stealing from the treasury perish! Now everyone has access providing one participates in shady contracts with government; provided one gets employment in the right department in government; providing one gets an appropriate political influence over civil servants who certify or authorize payments. It is theoretically available to everyone if you think carefully about how to loot!

We have to have a solid foundation for helping needy students by way of bursaries from the local authorities (District Councils) and the State (Student Loan Fund), and scholarships from the corporate world.

When I was at College in the early 90’s we used to think the John Tembo’s were cruel people because we had not yet known cruelty. It is now that we appreciate that they were actually angels looking at how they took good care of us until we finished. Now the crooks running the affairs of Malawi are showing real cruelty, they have no remorse nor any iota how poor people feel, so cruel they are ready to have them withdraw from University so that they are condemned to perpetual poverty. DPP are brutes and fools. God remove them
