This country is in trouble…the fact that most on this forum suggest one does not need a degree to be President worries me and shows how uninformed we are. In many African countries (Kenya), you need a degree to be MP/Governor and look at were they are (of course other issues count) – you listen to the quality of debate in parliament and you know these are people that are learned. I have heard our Ministers read out a prepared speech (not speak) and it is horrible and yet they are expected to provide policy direction in the Ministry-forget it.… Read more »

Good proposition. However, Malawi has a proliferation of people with fake doctorates, e.g., Kaliati, Aladi Mussa, etc. Similarly there are fake professors. These qualifications need objective and transparent assessment to filter those who are cheating. Furthermore illiterate people should be give down-rated votes, or disqualified to vote because they vote based on tribal affiliation and not on quality of the party, or its leader in terms of policies and commitment to non-regionalistic development.

I would like to make corrections to the proposal of a bachelors holders as a qualifying age. I would like to propose that the minimum qualification be a PHD, not less than 45 years of age and at least MK30 million kwacha of worth. The fact that we are not educated does not give us a warrant to underate our friends’ efforts. It took great effort for people to attain the level of education they have achieved. Besides, the stress they went through to get to that level of education, has made them capable of handling presidential stress with maturity.… Read more »

The commission ought to explain why the general population with no degrees would be eligible to or have smarts to vote for a degreed candidate. I would have thought the society would have proposed things like rotational presidency by region and then within a region, by district. The commission could also have proposed that it should champion setting up ethical standards or that the law society ought to look into all levels of interaction in Malawi, like Doctor-patient interactions, Professor- student interaction, boss-staff, lawyer-client, teacher-pupil, entrepreneur-villagers, parliamentarian-constituent, etc, and establish standards and procedures that would lay a framework for improvement.… Read more »
