The biggest problem is envy. One needs to be contented with what one has, the rest is automatic. To be a Veep is God’s grace and if we do not appreciate that aspect, then one is bound to leave a troubled mind. That is why even if you make personal efforts to be the country’s president you do not succeed. Check what I am saying, all Veeps in Malawi due to discontent have fought against their boss but none of them succeeded. Joice Banda thought she had succeeded by that constitutional order but God proved her wrong, she lost elections;… Read more »

Henry, you got it completely wrong. It is the politics that is the problem NOT our constitution. It’s sad that people like you do not see this. Your argument is what I call gutter intellectualism.

You are severely intellectually challenged Nangozo. Better shut up when you can’t make a constructive contribution on a subject matter for which you lack the intellectual capacity to grasp and comment on.

Vuto ndiloti munthu akakhala Vp amaziwiratu kuti if anything happens to the boss then automatically nditenga mupando ndiposo bwana nayeso amaziwa right from word go kuti munthu ameneyo akhoza kundilanda mupando. what we need to do is that if anything happens someone can only be a care taker for 90 days or so ndiye anthu asiya kuwonana mokayikirana.

I agree with you Chingaipe. Our constitution was framed by borrowing ideas from different foreign constitutions, more especially the American and British ( though unwritten) constitutions. From the U.S. constitution we borrowed the provision of the Vice-President and the fact that the incumbent should be the aspiring President ‘s running-mate during elections. In the USA the duties of the Vice-President are: (1) To succeed the President if the office of President becomes vacant through death or impeachment or some sort of permanent incapacitation. (2) To preside over the Senate as “Speaker “. In actual practice he delegates this duty to… Read more »

Henry you are absolutely spot on. There is something seriously wrong with the position of VP in Malawi as they all end up behaving the very same way. As you rightly suggest the biggest loser here are the Malawians. Not only; Are they paying an executive who is not doing their work! (for VPs are paid from our Tax money)But the trend appears to be setting itself as being inevitable! However to sort this out effectively we really *need to understand what goes wrong. We then correct that. *we need to legally safeguard that position so that the person who… Read more »

TOTALLY AGREE REVISITING OUR CONSTITUTION. MOVEMENT OF VP TO PRESIDENCY SHOULD HAVE 60 /90 DAYS THEN ELECTIONS. NOT CHILIMA NOR CHAKWERA HAS A SOLUTION BUT CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT IS THE BEST ANSWER ON VP. OTHERWISE WHEN GREED FOR POWER CREEPS IN WHAT HAPPENS IS THIS MEDIOCRE POLITICS THAT WE SEE AROUND PLUS RECYCLED OPPORTUNISTIC AND DISGRUNTLED POLITICIAN BEING FORCES BEHIND VP/P DISAGREEMENTS.
