“I would like to emphasise this very strongly. We should not proceed on the premise that the donors will come back with their budgetary support purses.

“We could have budgetary support from World Bank, the EU, the African Development Bank but I would have difficulty in proceeding on the basis of expecting bilateral donors to come back because they are out of countries such as Tanzania, Zambia, Rwanda and Mozambique. I think they are getting out of many countries,” said Finance Minister Goodall Gondwe.

Gondwe was quoted in the local press speaking at Financial Market Dealers Association annual conference.

Malawi lost up to 40 percent of the budget support it was receiving from foreign donors after the European Union, the World Bank and the United Kingdom decided to suspend aid pending the results of the government investigation into the alleged corruption scandal, popularly known as “Cashgate.”

The donors have said they won’t resume aid until the  “cashgate” puzzle has been resolved and until it has established better financial and management systems.

Goodall don’t close our eyes, the same donors have spent so much to bring the audit report open so that chilungamo chidziwike and you may punished. DPP ndi Iweyo are swisting the truth. Remember one day God will reap you the way He reaped the so called inherited Ngwazi.

Goodall why running away from the truth. donors dont want you steal public funds but you still want steal by not closing the loopholes in the IFMS. Donors want you to deal with 2009-2012 cashgate by DPP (which is not possible anyway). How did they fund you forensic audit if they are not ready to assist? Dont cheat us like your grannies asaa!~

This is good news! We should stand on our two feet, people need to start paying for everything hospitals, schools etc. Nothing should be for free, may be the chimpanzees (malawi) in thus country should stop replicating like mice.
