DPP counters MCP: ‘Kamuzu was also hiring planes, picking hangers on’
The governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) is countering accusations coming from opposition Malawi Congress Party (MCP) on President Peter Mutharika’s bloated delegation to United Nation in New York by floating information on how Malawi’s former president-for-life, Dr Hastings Kamuzu Banda, was hiring plane for trips abroad and picking many women dancers and hangers-on.
According to the information, Kamuzu ordered Air Malawi to lease a plane from South African Airways in 1984 to 1985 7Q-YKL Boeing B-747SP-44 for various state visits to Europe.
The final registration of the aircraft was N747KV of Panair Inc – scrapped at Marana in 2005.
The DPP claims MCP members never criticised Kamuzu or their government on the policy to charter large plane and sending bloated delegation on the founding president’s foreign visits.
They cite a trip in Britain when Kamuzu took hundreds of women but there was no criticism other than praise singing on “nga, nga, nga” loyalty sloganeering.
The ruling party is fending off criticism that Mutharika had a bloated entrouge to UN and that Mutharika charted an expensive private jet.
State House press office issued a statement signed by Chikondi Juma saying Mutharika used a Jet owned by Execu-Jet of South Africa which has the registration number OE-IGS.
Hastings Kamuzu Banda ruled Malawi from independence from Britain in 1964, until his defeat at the polls in the country’s first multi-party election 30 years later.
His rule was characterised by gross violations of human rights, with several of his opponents killed.
He died in 1997, aged about 101.

R u doing it bcoz Kamuzu (or MCP) was doing it. With this kind of thinking, can we expect any meaningful change from these idiots? Kamuzu amachita zimenezi akubalansa mabuku, ndalama zamadona zikubwera, etc. Dikirani mastraka ayambe. Enanu simuthawa? Ndiposo ulendo uno ophedwa achuluka. Malo moti muzikhala phe, mwalakwa nkumachulukaso zonena. Sikukala pabala kumeku?

@Olomwe, Alomwe onse akanakhala ngati iwe mwenzi dziko lino ndilotuka so kpon educating ur fellow Lomwez to know the truth.
How many times did Kamuzu fly outside Malawi? I was there in 1985 and all was not well with what the then government did. It was condemned and it never happened again. Mbuzi za DPP can’t accept wrong doing. Go and change the suit that Bingu wore when he was buried if you can. You have to know that these things come to an end. We have to think about our chikdren. Think about hospitals. Think about schools. Our economy is in tatters and some fools are backing this nonsense.
kamuzu mungafanizire ndi izi zalerozi.
What laugh DDP!!! During Kamuzu era we were born free, with discipline, enough food, free good health care, MK and pound was 1to1 rate. Kamuzu was a DR but has done alot that we cant count in addition quality education he had but you so called proffessor what is happening with standard of education, government failing to print certificates for std8 and form2 saying its costly while students are paying to write examination than Kamuzu era I thought those payments carters even certificates, what a day robbary is that. A DDP munthu akakufunsani funso muzisimba ulenje wanu yakhani funso la anthu ndi ndege munapanga hire, you are too far to compare with Kamuzu mzanuyu amapanga izi dziko atatukula nanga inu ndi ndime yomwe simunalime mwayamba kale kukolola zandani iku ndikukama ng’ombe yowonda kale, kondani dziko lanu osamafanizira anzanu. We are judging you by your mistakes so do not point figures muchedwa nazo, mulakwa mayeso kaamba kowonera….
Nthawi ya Kamuzu zinthu zinali bwino kwaba, ngakhale umati kulowa patchire kalulu ndi gwape umatha kubwera naye, koma lero ngakhale sesenya sapezeka dziko lawonongeka ndi anthu adyera
Mitu yosagwira ntchito imawonetsa pofuna kukhoza akuwononga,inu kamuzu adasiya ndege za dziko,pound ikupikisana kwacha,lero mbumba za kamuzu zikudya gaga,iwe nde sulimba ukufa pompano,japie mhango umufunse thotho za flag,
some politicians fought to be in power yet they are ignorant of what to do with power to bring good governance.
koma inu a Dpp moti muzifanizira ndi malemu zoona nde dziko lingapite pa tsogolo choncho ..muzitiphanso muzitinso ana yamba ndi malemu zooona koma..kkkkkk koma nde zavutatu
If everybody is doing it,it does not mean it is right.
Even in Kamuzu’s time there was dissent when he hired a plane and took extras to Europe in those years.Malawians in general complained.Whether some went in trouble for harbouring dissent that is history.
Today Malawians are complaining again for what President Mutharika has done,repeating Kamuzu’s mistake.
It was wrong then and it is still wrong today to spend government money like that.Full stop.
Goats, Kamuzu was the life president whilst yours is not. Why comparing the unlike trems. rubbish
NOSENCE !! DO MEAN U ARE GOING TO COMPAIR UR’S AND OTHER PEOPLE MISTAKES? VLADMIR PUTIN USED A CHATTERED PLAN TO USA SO, CAN U SAY THAT MALAWI CAN DO THE SAME ?VERRY VERY VERY SHAMEFUL!!!
i did not know that we still have FOOLS in democratic parties today. I did not know that we have more fools today than under Late Dr Banda. i did not know that directly the DPP govt is answering the question they had previously denied to have a bloated party thugs to New York.
Late Dr Kamuzu had three things: enough food, better education and healthy situation in the country which is contrary to now. i agree with the gentleman who said LeDERS ARE NOT MADE but BORN.
REALLY dpp is making that argument with their senses ? Do we really have people who can defend like that and we expect not to concede a goal?
is this coming from jappie mhango? he should be 2 years old because he cant differenciate between Kamuzu era and now.
Late Kamuzu was NOT A PROFessor of economics but the economy was always booming.
Late Kamuzu was not a Professor of Law but cases now are more than during his days.
This govt has no strategic plan for the people and country. Read the book entiled “why African leaders go wrong”.
During kamuzu era, we were managing to eat a course meal, dont twist things to ur advantage. Even the prices of basic things were uniform. On top of that, we were having free meals at his rallies ok? Chinkangovuta ndi ukapolo wa ma yough league but all was well. Wakumudzi samasiyana kudya ndi wa mtauni.
yes kamuzu was also hiring planes but tell us was there deep economic woes as it is? did well qualified ppl fail to secure jobs as is the case in health now? did the patients take. one meal a day? were the fees hiked as it now? did u pay police in security fees to the amount you will be paying now?. zinazi if ppl talk it does not mean they hate anyone but rather they love that person n hence calling for a change. mufera chipani ndi munthu basi , reason plz.
that’s the worst comparison I have ever witnessed in my life. this only shows that the current government does not know how to clean up its mess. In other ways this govermment doesn’t think!!. Kamuzu would do that but not at the expense on suffering poor Malawians!!!, Kamuzu would make sure that everything in the country was in good working order Osati NYasizi ayi. kungonamiza Anthu, muzingonamiza MBuli zomwezo Osati Anthu oganiza Komanso Ophunzirafe mwamva!!. what a weak stupid argument! arrgh!
The difference with kamuzu’s time and now is that there was loyalty and obedience in those days.you couldn’t find a Malawian writing bad things about their country like in these days of the so called democracy. Freedom of expression has done us more bad than good. A good example is of this nyasatimes. It is owned by Malawians but three quarters of their stories are of criticising the government. Very pathetic.
DPP !!! Boma!! Beyond 2025! Boma!!
Picture by Willie Chokani. Ma rubbish business bringing insecurity in Malawi. Taking us back to the good old eighties tikudya chingwa cha Stork Margarine. This will only expose DPPs incompetence from top to bottom. We used to fly direct to London from Lilongwe, just a dream of things past; soon our neighbors to the West will build a regional hub with Ethiopian Airlines. Tizingogona, reminiscing of the past. Tick tock tick tock.
I dont think pple were in this situation by then, and please let Kamuzu rest aaaa how can the whole party do such a thing in the name of Kamuzu did the same thing? So wat? U want us to smile for that? Mwina tinawachotsera zomwezo?
utsogoleri wamvuta pitala ndipo evn pobwelerapo ndegeyo itapanga crash tithanso kusangalala dziko aliika pa moto smtym amalawi tiziyang’ana koma munthu anali uko ndipo sadziwa ndi mavuto omwe koma inu mwat ameneyu lero ndi izo ife tikuvutika iye akutenga ndalama nkumakavinila Dance kunja
In short,it is agreed APM took hangers-on deliberately knowing we cant really afford the huge bills? That is the difference with Kamuzu. His economy was ticking,”star performer” he used to say. Can you say the same? And the numbers?
I can’t believe that there is no voice of reason in this organization called DPP mafia. I can’t believe that everyone in DPP is intellectually challenged.
DPP is still strong! Those who don’t Peter Mutharika go to hell! A’m 100% DPP!,mukaombera manja meneama gulitsa ndege the previous government, sonomuta President professor Mutharika azizakwera chani? This shows that we Malawians,we are lacking long term plan,let’s change our mindset be focus.Bingu knew the importance of a country to have jet koma munamutukwana lero mwaona kufunika kwa ndege sopano.DPP! beyond 2025 boma!!
The only problem is that you promised the nation that the days of running business as usual are gone. So it is totally ridiculous that you took a bloated entourage to UNGA because Kamuzu used to do the same……… Really???? That is your retarded rationale????
Chokani Dpp musatinyasepo apa.All those old airport and decent buildings,roads and infrastructure was built by the great Kamuzu.He picked hangers on,but you could see his jobs than mere time wasters like you.You clueless Pitala was running away from reporters like Wally fearing to be grilled by reporters.Its time he stopped picking some useless people using our taxes.Malawian taxpayers money should be used for proper things than wasting for hangers who do not add any value to Malawi.Stop comparing yourselves from the great Kamuzu.Dpp is doing nothing apart from ripping off the unsuspecting docile Malawians.We are really furious with Pitala mbyofo mbyofo.He should stop being big headed.We are very much angry if he doesn’t know.Malawi is sinking on daily basis with his stupid policies.
Mukakangana mutiuza mukatopa. The truth is wabwino palibe. DPP is failing to present to put the economy back into its rightful place because Joyce Banda created a stumbling block in the name of cashgate. MCP just want to take advantage because many youths were not there when it was plundering government resources and killing people. The political landscape then did not require accountability, human rights and others. When has MCP reformed? Kamuzu is dead, he did his part and we should respect him for that. BUT lets not hide behind Kamuzu as if we have the same thinking capacity as Kamuzu.
What else can I say? I honestly don’t know how right thinking people voted for apm and dpp. How people vote for dpp, I just don’t get it or understand.
Shame on you DPP, how can you compare yourselves to the then MCP and the current MCP? The ones who did that are probably dead and none of them is in the current MCP. If the issues raised by MCP are refering to the Bingu DPP then u have a point but this is now.. akuti inuyo a pitala abd ur cronies osati a Bingu. likewise nanu kazinenani a chakwera ndi anthu awo. penapaketu anthu inu mukupanga ngati osaphuzira
Reasonably, you cannot compare What happened in ONE PARTY era with what is happening in DEMOCRATIC era. They are totally two different systems with no single similararity.Learn to give better responses than what have been given. For example, ‘hiring such an expensive plane to ensure safe journey to US considering frequent plane crushes and Malawians have to understand us from that point of view’.,rather than giving irrelevant responses becoz current problems which Malawi is facing has nothing to do of what Kamuzu was doing.
By then what was our economical status? Kwacha to Dollar mwinaso Kwacha yili ndi mphamvu kwambiri isih kikkkkkk
what a silly argument from chingolopiyo. to him DPP is innocent just because MCP was also making mistakes
@ Chingolopiyo kufa mutu kumeneko. We got rid of Kamuzu for the same reasons and you are saying DPP admired such? Please do not justify stupidity with historical mistakes. The premises that DPP went into government are then very wrong based on what the defense it is putting up. Sane Malawian should abhor this and if Peter was SANE he should be apologizing right now. This stupidity will take us nowhere but deep into s—- for all Malawians except a few people that have access to what we pay as tax.
I see our ‘ancestors’ trying to develop Malawi. But clearly you fagots are useless this is the reason you have the young generation running away from their motherland to make a living else where. We have mothers crying for their dead children simply because one lacks sympathy. We are no longer in the picture for making a better world for your descendant. You deceive those who lack knowledge, you tell them what they want to hear ‘sweet nothing’. Give the 21st century generation hope. Give them a reason to stay and develop Malawi.
During kamuzu era Malawi was doing very well in all sectors, be it economically, education, healthy,agriculture, you name the. So comparing with kamuzu time I think its an insult to the nation.
A DPP mulibe nzerudi eti zoona mungafanizire nthawi ya kamuzu ndi pano? That was one party system of govt and panalibe munthu anali ndi ufulu wolankhula,ndiye nchifukwa chake kunabwera multiparty kuti zikalakwika tizidzudzula ndinu mbuzi(pano dziko liridi mmanja mwa agalu) you are very stupid
Two wrongs don’t make a right. Kamuzu Banda was wrong and the DPP are wrong. Basi!
End of the road. How can Malawi be run by Nicholas Dausi? I wish Bingu was alive, not this fake Professor
Let us be informed on MCP’s track record during its reign of terror for 31 years under Hastings Banda’s leadership.The fact of the matter is that,Malawi did not perform well either economically or politically.When it comes to the economy,there was nothing whatsoever that was impressive in Malawian economy hence,thousands of young Malawians trecked to Zimbabwe,Zambia,South Africa and Tanzania in search of jobs they could not find in their own country.Malawi won the praise from the Western imperialist and colonialist nations who had wholly turned her into a virtually overseas neo- colonialist bulwark which in turn Malawi became a darling of the West politically and economically,hence,the flow of gargantuan economic aid to Malawi.This does not mean that the MCP ran progressive economy.It is authentic that the MCP also hired jets to ferry frivolous Bumba za Kamuzu abroad using millions of dollars on its way.For instance,he hired in the 80 s a jet from a newly independent State of Namibia apart from the real hire price which was in terms of astronomical price,the regime paid another $ 800.000 to change the logo from Namibian to Malawian logo.What an idiotic mentality? This must be a good lesson for Malawians for their ethnically motivated political philosophy.We shall never progress unless we change our altitudes which are now deeply entrenched into our flesh and in the final analysis,all of us will pay dearly for our blunders for this will not only affect the hated Tumbukas,but also the supreme rulers,the Yaos.Senas,Chewas,Lomwes so on and so forth.In unity we succeed,but in disunity,we fall.May God bless Malawi and Africa.
apa zavutapo can u peacefully resign otherwise sizitha bwino i can see anger in 85 percent of Malawians dpp is seating on a time bomb any time it wl explode
Justifying stupidity is what an idiot can do. You mean you are doing all this just bcoz it happened that time? Mbuzi zamano kunsi
Stupid comparison.
Usilu basi umphawi ulipanopau wina ndikufanizila ndi nthawiya kamuzu. Palipe ndi zikolimodzi likutiwelenga panopa.
its true kamuzu was hiring planes for trips abroad but the situation at the time was much better than today.hospitals had drugs,country had enough food,security was the best,kwacha was stable,civil servants were being paid in time.today its the opposite
Rubish DPP stupid pitala
If indeed you are looking for comparison between DPP and MCP then you have lost direction focus on how to bail the nation from this current economic situation as a mare starting point do as per Late Bingus slogan of letting the jobs of his hands be witnesses
Am fully convimced that those who are saying during Kamuzu the economy was good, don’t know what they say. During Kamuzu, people had one short or trousers which had changed is origin due to zigamba. Tailors were used kusonga zingamba. People went to secondary and universities akufunda nsalu, bulangete mwai. Have you ever asked why your uncles and brothers did not go further with studies? Do you think they had no brains as you are. Most of them were bright than current students or graduates, but lacked school fees to pay. WhY? Students could not go on with studies because of MCP membership card, and what was the cost and why people failed to have it when the economy was good. Most men spent time in the bush running away from Chamwaka or Msonkho. In the central region gule wamkulu was throughout the year because it was a hiding place. In the North, everybody had an axe spent time in the bush, not hunting but hiding, the same as the south. Why is it that Air Malawi failed to develop? Ask yourself .
But these idiots; How can a well minded person compare 1985 events with current ones? These are real idiots. This is a sign of lack of substantive facts. Just shut-up.
When Kamuzu was president, he did not hide who he took to London with him and why. Did he? Not at all. He said “kuyenda ndi maphunziro”, and he took women for that purpose. It was a developmental goal – right or wrong – he did not conceal it and fabricate lies about it. PLUS at that time, education was of a good quality, UTM later Stagecoach was going to every rural area, ADMARC had maize, anything the farmer grew had a market, people that served in public office were courteous, dedicated and never became rich overnight (some are still walking today), Blantyre market was the cleanest in Sub Sahara Africa, Chikangamwa was the largest and most enviable man made forest in sub-sahara africa, my mother’s chicken could sit on eggs on the veranda and it hatches, clothes could be left on the drying line overnight, cattle and goats could roam without fear of losing any, PLUS it was not the acclaimed democratic era. we were told democracy would make our land flow with milk and honey. Certainly milk and honey are not flowing now when DPP is in power. SO? Can a reasonable person compare the one party era with the democratic era? what message is DPP sending. This is a shame, DPP!
I am Lhomwe from Thyolo District. what my fellow countrymen are saying here is trash. Mukumatipangisa manyazi kwa anthu 3na.Silence could sometimes be the best response. am working in the private sector and I have voted for the DPP part all along. Not because I gain something out it, simply because it is. a party. from my home district.koma zinazi mwaonjeza . ifetu tikungoukwanidwapo za zii, cashgate, jet, za ku Mec etc
be serrious with this government running business contact me if you can to hear how bad your image has been dented .it’s worse than you think
Patricia Kaliati picked her friend a health Surveillance assistant from bottom hospital to the UN just for merry making and then dpp want to justify this by comparing with what Kamuzu did. We are really doomed as a country. If the president has a team that don’t even know that Kamuzu era can not be compared with APM era because they are not like then is there any hope for the future
At least during Kamuzu we had economic growth, local industries were booming, electrity and water uninterrupted, in short Kamuzus Malawi was richer than today’s
Id DPP is defending its stupidity, they are hyenas and crocodile. Muzikhala ndi manyazi inu agalu, mbuzi meee! It is not your money you are spending. It is public money.
Don’t be surprise if anthu azalanda boma
two wrongs make DPP right?
Zalowa kufanizira zoona aDPP ndinu agalu ndithu musatinyasepo apa mutimva ndiponso nthawi ya Congress kunalibe a opposition musayiwale nanu munali pambuyo nga nga nga pa Kamuzu mpaka gwape wanu uja Bingu anatengera dzina loti Ngwazi
malawi has lost direction bola nthawi ya kamuzu economy inali bho
Kkkkokkk,koma abale,momwe inabwerera democracy nothing has changed,is this true kumapanga compare kamuzu with these people called president mu nthawi ya democracy ino?kamuzu was a patriot never compare him,zakuvutani basi..
Koma mayankhidwe opanda mzeru olo pang’ono.mbuzi ya mano kusi ndithu
KKkkk koma Kamuzu anali Mkango so you to become Mkango ,a Malawi sangaloleretu anachangamuka 1992
Kamuzu died 18 years ago. Please don’t compare DPP with MCP. Admit your mistakes and pay back the monies you squandered in NY. Useless lomwes
Ooohoooo ndie kuti simukutinvela anthufe chifukwa anayambitsa ndi Kamuzu?
If DPP wants to follow what was happening in the one party dictatorship, they will find themselves out of government.
With the endless blunders that they are making, it appears like they do not want to remain in government come 2019. We might vote for the devil we know because we believe that the devil has learned its lessons, and the hardliners have all gone away: the likes of the JZUs of this world. Politically, I hate the MCP but the way DPP is abusing its privelege, I would rather vote for MCP although I hate the past deeds of MCP under the dictator Kamuzu and his henchmen. This is the dilemma that many of us who were victims of the MCP excesses are facing.
Muntharika pitala zoti timadollar tawo atabwera kuchoka ku states timasintha kwa mijomba ngati bodza.lero kunyamula mudzi onse wa pa states.kkkk.nyumba akukhala ya housing.funso nkumati nanga ngati amachita bwino ku states bwanji moyo akukhala panowu samaonetsa akufika kumene.inu ndaendetsapo ganyu basi ya bingu ine.mafuta oyeza.mileage recording every trip.bus yokankha.ntchito yanga inathera mu devil bwana bingu atakwiya ati kuyamba mmawa mpaka three oclock sindingapange faifi sauzande.anaipana okha chinsapo chinsapo.
Two wrongs do not make a right you morons. Just because Kamuzu fed his people to crocodiles does not entitle you to do likewise and that is the reason we opted for pluralism. In other words now you are conceding that you took “the whole village” to New York and you expected Malawians to clap hands for your actions? Shame on you….
Kamuzu died in 1997 and was voted out in 1994, as it is now, we are in 21st year after Kamuzu rele and for you to compare this time to that time something must be wrong in your brain.
Dpp hahaha! Is that kick of the dying horse?
Pliz,pliz.plz.how many Tims i HV said 3 tims dont compare kamuzu and you there is no leader wil get again lik kamuzu just count he developmed malawi wthin 30 yrs from nsanje to chitipa roads. Airports,hospitals and many more in 30 yrs but you even we can give you 50 yes bu5 you can do what kamuzu banda did so don’t take you stuped I dead and compare with kamuzu you are vry far away wth kamuzu .kamuzu was leader with vision but you just com not to not coming too put thngss in order no but to take wat is belong to us
APM, APM, APM, APM njoka zija ankanena a VP tikutha kuziwona zikumakhala ngati zikukufunirani zabwino koma zikufuna kuti inunso muzamwalire monga mmene anafera malemu Bingu.

Foolish comparison, bwanji osapanga compare ndi UDF???? can you compare genius Kamuzu with your stupid Dpp???? shame on you zakukanikani mumayesa masewera??
Anthu opanda nzeru inu
this man is a real dickhead,how can he compare himself to kamuzu,malawi has a president who needs to go to the mental institution please.
Two wrongd make no right…The fact that Kamuzu Did it, doesnt mean that it is Ok now…Correct it MR president
The Kwacha to the dollar in 1984 – 1985, was one to one , even when he was leaving the office in 1994 the Kwacha to the dollar was MK 4 Kwacha to the Dollar and not MK 570 Kwacha to the Dollar as the case is now. In 31 years the Kwacha only moved by 4 Kwacha wheras in 21 years the Kwacha has moved 566 Kwacha, that is a record.
Umadya Nyama pamene uli ndi ndalama. Kamuzu had strong currency. You have fake one volatile, fragile name it. Just explain the reason why you had more pple in time of scarce
Owo! Kodi a DPP mukufuna kumachita zomwe ambwiye wanu amachita nthawi ya Kamuzu eti? Ndi a bale anu omwe amanamiza Kamuzu kuti azipanga hayala ndege. Kodi a Bin Feleza, Darton Katopola, Edie Bwanali, Friday Makuta si abale anu? Ndiwotu anali owononga nthawi ya Kamuzu. Pano MCP is full of young and technically competent people. We know what our fore fathers believed in when founding this great nation. We will pursue the virtues of hard work, stability, fear of the Lord and patriotism. Inu mbavanu satana akutengeni msanga.
Wow!!!! what a comparison DPP? This confirms your wrong doing. You are answerable to Malawians and not a party! So tell us why are failing to govern? You mean bkoz of MCP?
Now I am convinced beyond reasonable doubt that this country is led by an idiot whose advisors capitalise on his cluelessness to fool illiterate Malawians. If Kamuzu made mistakes (which he never did), do we have to copy them? Stupid dpp dogs!
DPP government has baseless point here. Even if Kamuzu hired private jet, there was still economic stability in the country. Hospitals had medicine, Adam was fully load with grain, security was wonderful and life in general was manageable. Unlike today. Looks like DO leadership defends anything evil and are so bent on making Malawian suffer. God forbid, you no go make us shut our mouth up.
That is why we voted MCP out in 1994!
No point of comparing one party error to multiparty error! Kamuzu time kwacha to dollar was 1 to 1 today it is 1 to K670; that time time Kamuzu hired one big plane and he used to take his people with him at once and yet today DPP is hiring an expensive plane but for few people. The people were blind and today the people can see and browse what their gvt is doing, DPP fine other means and to defend your stupidity
malawi’s economy started collapsing in the 1980s, read world bank and imf reports you fools. in fact, the collapsing of the econmy at that time was one of the issues that contributed to the downfall of Dr Banda. So Kamuzu hired aircrafts when the economy was doing badly.
Mxiiii, this stooge is indeed a professor of doom!! Mpake chinathawa debate!
akuluakulu tisanamizanepo apa, Malawi wa 1984 ndi panopa sizinafane. Panopa tivomereze, dizkoli boma silingakwanise kuliyendesa okha. Pupulation has tramendeosly inceased, moral decaya sre common, so muganiza ziyenda???
Foolish DPP govt, you cant compare a leads with your madness, there prudent economy under Kamuzu imagine 1993-4 I paid tution fee and bording fee MWK13.00 and I used MWK1.50 transport from KU to MH. Agalu inu dziko lakukani ndi MCP yokha yirindi ma file oyendetsera dziko. Come 2019 MCP Bomaaaaaaaaaa! Linali dziko lamkaka ndi uchi ili, maphunziro apamwamba kumayimbira standard 1 to university level, Chakudya chambiri komaso chotchipha no one could raise prices without govt and timayenda usiku openda kuopepsezedwa kapena achifwamba. So please don’t compare Kamuzu (a leads) and idiots.
Peter Mutharika, are you saying that in a democracy which entails full ACCOUNTABILITY and TRANSPARENCY you Mutharika should behave and do whatever Kamuzu did?
Let me remind you Mutharika that people some now dead fought hard for democracy so that we could stop the abuse of tax papers and donors money. Instead you and your brother Bingu have excelled at looting tax payers and donors money. You are an embarrassment to Malawians, a shame in fact because you are an overgrown buffoon.
I can foresee the day not too distant when you Mutharika will be held accountable for the bribery, corruption, lack of accountability and transparency, your tribalism and your nepotism and thieving. Oh yes you will pay for abuse of public office as will every one of the thieves who are bribing you.
Shit shit DPP
Its very crazy of the democrats to compare the spending of MCP when the govt was well funded Now we are talking of the govt overspending when it is prayin hail mary to save the economy. They are busy finding austility measure to bring back donors such as over taxing workers, raising fees and so many othr solutions. Yo have to give us reasons why all those were picked. If u knew spending 200 m will bring billion dollars in donor aid and investors then tell us that not goin about picking up a fight with MCP is very absurd of you in the 21 st century when the malawian population is about 65% literate.
Kaya Kwanthu you have said it all.
With or without party card we were MCP members ofcourse expect JW. members.
Remind them that all those that are difending DPP now it is because DPP is their shield from Cas gate related cases. They know pretty well that the moment they leave DPP they will be answering cash gate cases in court.This has become modus oparandi. During old MCP era someone stole 6 pounds at Nsinja Court. When he was in MCP Executive cabinet he also cashed Proceeds from party cards from one Lambart, Thawi imeyo tinkati Wakuba yemweyo. A takhala a kumpando ananyambitanso. Analimbana ndi mwiniwake DPP mpaka amngo khalira kunama kuti akudwala mzipatala ku RSA.Poopa anachira poopa kuti bwana pitala angakumbutse kuti a Kumpando anyambita anasitika mwana wao ku DPP ndi chipani chomwe.
The issue at hand is whether its right to charter a plane at that expense or not period. Whichever head of state hired it is immaterial.
I think DPP is full of headless chickens. You should understand that we have gone much poorer as a country than the Kamuzu regime time. So if this clueless man did this because Kamuzu did then it confirms what we have said that he was not ready to gvt.
Kkkkkk!!! Kuvomeleza zinthu zokalakwika ndi bwino..
DPP ndi mbuzi zomwa mikonzo yawo. You do stupid things just because former government was doing the same? Are we going to move forward as country? this is not time for that pliz tiyeni tilikonde dziko lanthu……eish bolaso mayi inu kaya…
ASOWA CHONENA MWA CHIDULE AKUVOMELA KULAKWA KWAWO AKHULULUKILENI
This is where DPP is getting it all wrong!!! Comparing the decisions of today and those made 30 years ago is foolhardy and stupid. If you can’t know what to compare, then running a thing as huge as the state machinery is just too much for you.
So in other words DPP accepts they took a bloated delegation right? And trying to justify with kamuzu whom we kicked out in 1994 due to the same reasons bcoz we had enough of it.it’s time to kick these ones as well bcoz they can’t be taking us back to the ills of HKB era we need to move forward please!!!!!!
Nonsense! We could afford many things at that time. The army had more than 14 helicopters and the police too had helicopters. Air Malawi was thriving with big planes as well. We were able to build an airport and almost every district had an airstrip, Central hospitals, many roads, etc etc Can the DPP afford all these things??
Zikukuwawani,, civil servants were not respected but were fearing, those days you could even fear your wife, let us thank that there freedom of expression these days
Koma ma Mambala awa atikwana kwabasi.Hear this you DII PHII PHII ZEALOTS:Kamuzu did things of economic nature with sensitivity,he spent with reasoning while with a caring heart for an ordinary person.Malawi had money in surpluses and inflation was rare.Add to this,one party system meant there was no dissenting views or criticism and Kamuzu was like the supreme leader of Iran.Despite his dictatorial rule,Dr Banda had responsibility to keep the country running without social and economic shortfalls-he cared much for the people as he loved his life presidency.
The DPP leadership is full of ambition to spend without remorse but not for the benefit of the majority,it is a heartless and careless leadership that promotes self aggrandizement.Everything is almost coming to a halt now,but the country has the leadership that spins in luxury.Do these DPP zealots remember that at one time despite Zambia being endowed with mineral wealth,Malawi’s economy was superior and Zambians were surviving on business trips into Malawi?
Now stop comparing with a person who performed well with the economy and was in a different era of rule.This is multi-party now and we are supposed to continue from where Kamuzu stopped us.You guys are taking us backwards and you enjoy the audacity to milk the thin cow,don’t you have shame? They say people should pray for their leaders,which leaders? Leaders who hate their people,rob their people,and marginalize their people? My foot!
Madeya, Madeya, Madeya type of reasoning!!!!! It just shows that this government is full of Dunderheads!!!!!!!!
Now I know that the people who are leading us are actually matchonas. By isolating themselves from the group of people who never criticised HKB when travelling outside on chartered plane they indirectly confess that they were not around during this period. Mwangobwera kudzadya zaulere kulepheranso kugwira ntchito!! Shame.
Oh please, that’s really low from these plebs. The boat is sinking on each day passing and all we hear is foolishness on rampage.
Ali ndi udindo wanji kodi munthu akupanga compare maboma awiri osiyana akuoneka kuti he is not fit for the post
Ndiye kufikapotu! Mpakana comparing yourself to MCP?
Why do we allow such fools to rule us.
Don’t compare yourselves to kamuzu the pound and the kwacha where at par during kamuzu rule. Security was one of the best in Africa ppl roamed the streets at early hours of morning, burglar bars where never heard of corruption was non existent escom water board where behaving themselves our cities where one of the cleanest in Africa those where the good old days. Today Malawians are suffering at the hands of these greedy and corrupt rulers. The whole system in this country is corrupt from the top to the bottom. Dzuka Malawi dzuka
Kamuzu was not as genius as our Bingu.
Am greatly sorry for nyasatimes with its so called reporters. This is the best example ever of poor reporting and as many do in their criticisms faulting teachers who taught such but i surely think that this particular reporter if he is any, is himself a bad seed and he is going no where in their profession with this shit. And my appeal to Malawi Polytechnic journalism Lectures, is to ask them not to miss this opportunity of getting the world class poor reporting
Comparing sand with rice. Who can take that nonsense?
The people who released this letter are headless, I think staying quite than producing this nonsense is golden. Malawi, we are wasting our money paying these clueless politicians embarrassing our Prof? This good history should be from someone who was close to Kamuzu and probably the one who took a personal secretary to UN. Because you did not say anything then to Kamuzu and you want us to be quite like you, Lol! A big mistake. We will make noise as we did until one collapses.
Stupid DPP. How many times did you see Hastings Kamuzu Banda fly out of Malawi. Agalu A DPP inu mukumva? it was taking more than 5 years for Kamuzu to fly out of Malawi. At that time he hired a plane once in 5 or 7 years. Agalu inuyo mukumapanga hire ndege too frequently when you cannot even afford. Kamuzu could afford to hire coz the economy was sound. Mbuzi za DPP inuyo economy mwayisiya pati??? STUPID Motherfuckers!! Mxiiiiiiiiiiii
It is really stupid to compare MCP-Kamuzu time and DPP-Munthalika time. That real shows that some people are brainless….. stupid.
so funny. referencing a dead man to justify something.
here’s a reminder for you though, A POUND WAS BUYING AT TWO KWACHA, A DOLLAR AT ONE KWACHA AND A RAND WAS AT 15 TAMBALA. kamuzu could afford to charter jumbo jets because he was an economic genius who knew fiscal discipline. imagine, 30 years of no blackouts, no water shortages, no hunger or starvation, no albino killers, no rape, no private parts sellers, no dying of easily treatable deseases……
Mmmmm! you DPP guys are not serious , you must be joking. And these comparisons are selfish.you are trying to play with people’s brain. Kaboma kanuka ndikazibwana. mind you! you are playing with our lives. beardless.
You buy meat for your house when you have what it takes. When you get dry you vie for something to still keep your family live. The argument our blue party is raising is senseless.
Economy could sustain it during Kamuzu era and not now, comparison not worthy, sorry try something else
Stupid comparison. Was rhe economic situation like the one we have now? No guts but just mamina in the heads.
mcp will not talk sense to sane malawians but only to nyau dancers who highjacked the party of orton chirwa.we can’t vote for u .dpp is a party which is developing this malawi and not a handful development of that ghana man.a central region party can not win the vote .i want my money which u forced me to buy yo party card
Joyce Banda is being vindicated on daily basis. Until it is gone that’s when we realise how good something was. Jesus was not chosen to be free, people overwhelmingly voted for Barabbas. Malawians we should wise up fast. This sleeping business is taking us down into a drain.
Halalaaaaah, serious? This evil part of dpp its useless. Are they telling us that they use violence and over spending just to remind us of kamuzu?? Perhaps they’re squandering tax payers money on purpose?
I can’t even bigin to understand, actually noone can. The so-called dpp is out of plan to rescue the nation from their on mess.
Imeneyo si mfundo agalu a dpp.Kamuzu simungafananitse ndi bubu wanuyu oti akamalakhula kumangothovotsa malovu ngati kasupe.Things we better in those days not today
FOOLISH MALAWIANS, just some few years ago we were crying over same issues with Bingu, he almost brandished this Country as a failed State, By then Peter Mutharika was failing to Manage ministry of Education and yet you still had the Guts to Vote for him. FAILING TO MANAGE A MINISTRY. CHIPHWISI MPEEEEEEEEEEEEE
When you are on that seat and start justifying your current actions on the past , just know if you have the capacity to know at all , that you are a failure… a huge let down !
Good
We are following.
1.So DPP tell us plainly that indeed the UNGA Malawi delegation was 18 or 20 or 120 or 121.
2. By the same argument I order you to start doing all what Kamuzu was doing less nkhanza.
3…
hahahahahaha koma makompalizoni enawa kikikikii ayi ndithu. kamuzu had money
Either DPP has lost it or is losing it, why compare a party in one party state to them who call themselves democratic in a multiparty era? Because Amini killed people you’ll also kill. What kind of garbage justification is this? Time to impeach the worst president in Africa right now.
Koma dpp ndi mbuzi kwambiri
Ati comparison,is this guy well in his brain or its full of water
iyo idali nthawi ya one party state koma nanga nthawi ino ndi ya one party system.blue shit idiot
A country of idiots run by a clueless president supported by foolish,small minded people.shupiti

During President Kamuzu Banda people did not die due to hunger,hospital was in intact and perfect condition,security was at it’s best.. the men had vision he is the only president that build Universities,hospitals,roads…only now we appreciate what he did to the public.
long live bwana hastings….
Koma akanganya amenewa amaganiza asanatsegule kukamwa kwaoko? 1984 can not solve today’s problems. Nthawi imene ija Kamuzu amachita izi atapanga perform and chuma chilibwino. Inu chilowereni m’boma mulibe olo chimodzi choloza ndiye muononge zochepa tilinazozi? Chonde Pitala ndapota nawe, ngati takulakwira tikhululukire osati utilange chotere.
I think this government is full with fools. Kodi a Samuel Tembenu mukatani m’boma lonyasa ngati limeneli?
Do you really correct somebody by committing the same sin. Zitsiru za anthu inu. It was going to be wise munakagukhala chete.
Allow me to narrate an incident. When the secondary school term closed, our school authorities would organize a bus to ferry students from our secondary school at Robert Blake Secondary school(Kongwe) in Dowa to Lilongwe Main Bus Depot. On this fateful evening as we started off for Lilongwe we noticed that the bus driver was drunk as he took to the steering. Sure enough, the bus ride became very dangerous and despite students pleading with the bus driver to stop so we could call for another driver, the bus continued to swerve from one side of the road to the other until the inevitable happened, the bus crushed and most students sustained serious injuries that affected their lives for years to come.
The Malawi nation is like that students bus at the moment. The driver at the nation’s steering is drunk so to speak. This could prove to be a very fateful journey for all the Malawians at the moment. This country could be heading for some economic accident. Let’s pray that the casualties will be minimized. Every one of the passenger students that evening had this uneasy feeling that we would not make it to Lilongwe because no sensible person can fully put their trust in a drunken driver because the sense of judgement is considerably impaired when one is drunk. And so appears to be the case with our current political leadership driving our nation. They are so drunk with perpetuated cash-gate swindling that all they dream of is how much more they can siphone from the nation’s treasury. Remember the incident of the students just cited, the drunken driver refused to entertain suggestions of calling for his replacement. It’s the same case now. There is no way the DPP leadership will accept that our economy is heading in the wrong direction. Malawians it’s time to pray for divine intervention!
Apa ndiye zativuta a DPP. Mpaka comparing oranges to pineapples.
Please – do we have strategists in this party.
Apa nde DPP Yatha zelu, akusowa choti awawuze a Malawi khikhi!!!!!!!!!!. NThawi ya Kamuzu chuma chimayenda bwino.
This is total nonsense. This is a great sign of incompetence taking place at State House. Kamuzu used to travel outside the country irregularly not like the current president do. Kamuzu did not travel frequently outside Malawi. Amayenda mwina kamodzi pa chaka mwinso osayenda kunja kumene for 2 years. His travels were generally local especially for crop inspection to encourage rural communities to seriously engage in agriculture for the economic prosperity of the country. The Malawi Government had lots of savings. including in forex, which were all wiped out during the UDF regime. Kamuzu never travelled outside when the country is food crisis because that took a centre stage for him to resolve it. Kamuzu never abolished any examinations on the pretext of saving money, paid fees for everyone for tertiary and university education. People went abroad to study on Malawi Government Scholarship and not waiting others to help us! Hospitals never lacked drugs etc. The Government of Malawi had monies to serve the people in both social and economic endevours! Tangovomerani kuti zakukanikani and we will give back the power to MCP in 2019.
A Dpp ma plan akutherani, mwangoyamba kupanga compare Kamuzu ndi Peter, ndiye kuti mawalephera. Kamuzu adabweretsa chitukuko mmalawi muno, Peter wabweretsa chisokonezo dziwani zimenezo. Mukapanda kusamala muyaluka posachedwapa
Chain of events that happened has affected our system up to now. The mismanagement of the Govt purse during the Kamuzu era has an impact on us even today, you can’t blame all this on Peter. There were things like building state houses expensive ones, taking new bank notes from RBM to show the Ngwazi by Pelekamoyo and John Tembo was runs a king the economy we don’t know how much was looted, also building Bumbag houses and paying envelopes to women dancers was a waste of resources there are many things that the MCP did that costed the country country dearly
This is the most stupid thing I have ever read since I became literate!
Can you believe DPP even used MCP kamuzu’s autocracy as their measuring stick?
Whats next? Killing anyone who opposed you coz Kamuzu did it?
Making us buy “makadi” coz Kamuzu did it? How empty headed are DPP people? I knew all along that they were stupid people in this gvt but yho, this is beyond repair!!!
Tinamgwesa kamuzu pasiphwii ndiye inu palichani apaa opanda manomkamwa ngati inu… Tiona zipangani pangani ngatitusitikuona tionana ndithu msogolomu.
You cannot compare Kamuzu’s time with DPP. That time, Malawi was not as poor as it is today. Obviously, in the current situation the brilliant Kamuzu would not have charted a plane.
Its not MCP which is complaining about the charted plane. Its us the citizens being tax payers at present so don’t push this nonses to MCP and Kamuzu. You are a foolish government fill stop.
That’s complete nonsense. Do you think if KAMUZU was in a situation Peter is today he could ve done such stupidity. Don’t compare with KAMUZU administration with any other stupid maradministration
Auzeni ndichifukwa akulephela kuyendesa boma akutengela zimene kamuzu ankapanga. Panganizanu mkumangoknalila kuba basii chitukuko mlibe kungoyendela bola mphwandoo! Tikazayamba zioneselo mzanya’ amwenye azalila mmatownmu mfuse a john tembo akuuzani mu 1993/4
A very weak and faulty argument from a very ill advised, misinformed and intellectually challenged person. So you mean you re adopting everything MCP did? You make us now believe that you were indeed completely detached from Malawians when we took it upon ourselves to vote Kamuzu out of office in 1994 when we got tired of his maladministration.
The argument advanced here is typical kindergarten type and not worth listening to. How could you compare two issues out of there proper context? Is this the reasoning of someone who is living in the 21st century? In this digital age? This is the problem of people who simply show-up to reap what others have sowed.
What do you mean by MCP? We were all MCP that time. today you have no resources to plunder with the abandon that you are doing. Clueless government. wake up and start steering the nation to sustenance and prosperity and stop the nonsense
The issue here is not hiring of a plane but hiring a of plane when the country is in an economic crisis. During Kamuzu Banda’s time the country’s economy was in a sound footing. You don’t spend money extravagantly when your children are going hungry. You ask aid for food yet you are spending the little you have on useless things. Is there sense ?No one could have been complaining if our economy is good. But the timing is wrong – very wrong.
DPP MBUZI ZOKHAZOKHA COMPARING A DEAD NGWAZI WITH THEIR LIVING FULL WHAT A SHAME. I’M TOLD THIS FOOL WENT TO DUBAI WITH HIS BONY BICH DOING WHAT AMALAWI TIME HAS COME TO CHOPTHIS FOOL OUT OF MBENDERAS STOLEN SEAT.
Hahaha,people! Are you all surprised with this statement from dpp? What do you really expect from a president who gets advice from people like nankhumwa? Huh? People whose a collective sum of their IQs can’t even exceed a total of 3,on a good day for that matter,a leaders must be intelligent,not what you malawians voted,its a mistake that we shall pay dearly as a nation.
Comparing Kamuzu’s government to this stupid government run by idiots with no brains is un ethical. We had everything that was needed in Malawi apart from freedom of speech. So this is it…just bkoz Kamuzu did it. You guys are a big joke. You must be ashamed of yourselves. …a bunch of useless rats that are there just to destroy the country. One day is coming ….musatizolowere a Malawi …
SO YOU WANT TO COMPARE YOUR SHIT
WITH KAMUZU ??,
YOU ARE NOT ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES !!!
Bull sheet!!! Ntchito za manja a Kamuzu zimaoneka which we are still using today. Democracy has not brought anything tangible compared to Kamuzu (Though it was slow in 30 years). However he laid the foundation that we could have capitalised on. The people who took over from Kamuzu failed us. Bingu tried a bit during his first term. Had he taken over from Kamuzu immediately maybe Malawi would have continued from where Kamuzu left. Amangwetu destroyed all development structures that Kamuzu created . eg MYP Technical Schools. Now someone is reinventing the same through Village Technical Colleges. A Malawi, Kamuzu amaziwa kuigwira Kwacha against the powerful currencies. Masiku ano si oseweretsa ma Dollar. Ndi Chinkana tiri pa number one kusauka. Shame!!!!
True. Were people in the village, whom you claim need the money than hiring planes, rich during Kamuzu’s time? Its all politicking. MCP has nothing to offer but making noise. MCP and their beloved wamuyaya Kamuzu were in power to do all sorts of things for a fucken 30 years to sleepy Malawians. Lucky you MCP, you are now able to criticise with your noise, something you did not like during your 30 years rule.
Koma a Nguru inu mukuti mukulamulira. Firstly machende anu nonse. Nthawi ya Kamuzu zinthu zimayenda bwino osati nyasi tikuwona panozi. Those trips were budgeted for and cashgate kunalibe. Ofcourse some minor problems were there as a country but not as it is now. Kamuzu was a genius. Mulopwana uja was not fot and genius to have been bestowed the name Ngwazi. Koma a galu inu! tikuti koma Anguru odya njoka inu! A Nguru inu mwanyanya kuba. Mtundu wonunkha ngati chitosi cha Bakha. Akhakhakha inu!, a mkhalupa inu!, a vwivwivwi inu!, come 2019 munya muwona. Palibe zobera mavoti. Machende onse a Nguru tidzakoka, pa nthawi imeneyo.
Hehehehe DPP!!!!
Kamuzu amene mukumutchulayo papita zaka zingati kufika pano? Ngati aDPP ndinu anthu azeru manyazi akugwereni ndi ufiti wau. Ngati mukuti Kamuzu amalakwa chifukwa chiyani mukuyambitsanso fees ku pulayimale tell us.Pano mukugona nyumba ya Kamuzuyo. Nesa tinene zoona kiti lhalidwe mulibe.
Can you DPP fools tell us how the economy was fairing during Kamuzu’s time. Even when you say Kamuzu was also hiring planes, the economy was well managed and the dollar to pound was 1 to 1. There were no drug shortages, there were teachers in schools, there were health care workers paliponse mbwee, we had consistent electricity supply, there were no water shortages, Malawians had the buying power to spend their monies, we had sufficient food which was even being exported to our neighbours, the donors were supporting us big time name it.
The economy was stable and our currency was powerful. Taonani zikuchitika lerozi. Inu ndinudi mbuzi za wanthu eti..
You hire a double-deck plane when you can afford it! Affording to charter a plain is not plain audacity, but a demonstration that having fed your people in 1984 and providing basic government services there was still enough money left in the kitty that hiring a whole big plane made sense. The The DPP government is so cash strapped and so out of ideas that it can not even dream of not just hiring but actually decorating an A380 with the Malawi National colours.
What is also so lame in the DPP’s counter accusation is the statement that MCP members never criticised Kamuzu or the Government. Who were MCP members in 1984? it was Bakili Muluzi, Gwanda Chakwamba, Joyce Banda, Lazarus Chakwera, late Bingu wa muntharika … in fact this was a time of a one party government and all of us belonged to MCP. Only the Jehovas Witnesses, remnants of the British colonialists, and a few others who were openly opposed to the old MCP government can reasonably claim that all of us that had party cards did not critise Kamuzu or the government. The bottom line is that if you are Malawian, was alive between 1964 and 1994, you were MCP as evidenced by your lack of balls to oppose MCP the way JW people did. Don’t tell us you were any wiser before 1994, we were in that old MCP shit together. Take Bakili Muluzi for instance, what high MCP positions did he hold. Can he divorce himself from the ills of the old MCP era?
1994 is the watershed moment, an imaginery line where all of us started choosing which party to belong to. Therefore if there is any comparison about what any of the political parties represent do it within the multiparty era. Comparing DPP and the MCP to which all of us belonged (by free will or threats) is simply comparing unlike terms.
Having read such a comment as Kaya Kwathu has posted above, I feel its not worthwhile to add anything to it. He/She has said it all and all we can say is Amen!
The DPP guys are idiots. It’s shows how clearly out of touch they are
Pomwe lafika ziko la Malawi mmanja mwa DPP kuli ngati kuyendera galimoto yomwe yataya oil yense mu engine!we are heading for a danger! The economy is nose diving at a terrific speed, sooner or it will com to a Halt! Kkkkkk
Chonde sibwino kumayelekeza mbuzi ndi nkhuku. If Malawi is failing it is because of this stupid thinking. If Kamuzu was doing a right thing Malawi would have developed.
Shupiti!
100% stupid argument from DPP. These guys have 0% thinking capacity. We voted for multiparty in 1993 to stop such nonsnse and Dausi then voted for one party system. He has the same mentality and is always feeding APM with wrong/inaccurate information because the current HoS was not here when we chased the one party system and he doesn’t understand what we went through from March 1992 to June 14 1993. Comparing the current environment to 1984 is absolutely an insult to Malawians who changed the system in odrer to have governments that are transparent and accountable. Stop these insults. DPP would have been better if it stayed silent than making this useless argument.
I think its awkward to compare kamuzu days and today, in those days people had plenty food, commodities were cheap, medicines were plenty in hospitals, there were plenty teaching and learning materials in schools, transport was cheap, rural roads were being upgraded every year that’s why UTM buses were able to reach the most remote areas.Talk of anything, now people are criticizing all this coz we are supposed to address social problems before we start enjoying. You cant be drinking heavily everyday while your family is suffering and say am doing so because my father was also a drunkard.
You idiots, your comparison is not genuine. Kamuzu was genius than any other president Malawi could/will have. During Kamuzu time our money (kwacha) was as powerful as the British pound.
Dpp is talking shit. How can you compare the time of Kamuzu and of Peter? During Kamuzu era mk1=$1,but this time mk700=$1.Which means our economy that time was ok unlike today which we are being ruled by the so called proffesazzzzzz.Please if you have nothing to say you better shut your sting mouth.
This is nosense ridiculas, did you ever people complaining of hunger?To any thinking person this is not making sense for this Government is failing to know what comes first they don’t know 12345 they take 5312 shame
Mthawi ya Kamuzu USD was 1 to 1 with Malawi Kwacha, kumunda sitimathiranso feteleza, pano chilichonse sichikutheka ayi, Akulu Dziko lakukanikani ili, bola Amai omwe aja zinthu zimayenda
Dpp sizinthu ndithu. So they will be irresponsible because mcp did the same?
That time our economy was very much in shape because of the wise and dynamic leadership under of Kamuzu agalu inu.
There was no freedom of expression during Kamuzu time. DPP should not compare what they are doing now with what was happening then. Further to this, two wrongs don’t make a right. Don’t do things because Kamuzu did it. Do you want to tell us that you want to introduce dictatorship because it was there during Kamuzu time?
Two wrongs don`t make a right. Because Kamuzu did it, doesn’t necessarily make it right.
The environment then was one of a one party state when dissenting views could not be tolerated. By justifying your wastage with a bad thing that happened over thirty years ago, you are just showing that you are still living in the dark ages and can not move with time. That is a desperate move.
This is an era when every decision that you make must stand the test of scrutiny. Needless to say our economy was ticking during the Kamuzu years you cite here. Even in a house, when thing are tight, you forgo certain luxuries. Osamangoti chifukwa choti Kamuzu anapanga zakuti zakuti ifenso tipanga zomwezo, that`s fallacious thinking.
Two wrongs do not make a right you idiots!
Complete nonsense,leave Dpp alone and HkB alone,we are all thieves, jealous nation fotseki
These DPP defenders are hopeless. It does not make it right that Kamuzu did it. This is why we voted for change in 1994 so that everything that was wrong under Kamuzu should stop and better ways of governing should come in.
Forget about Kamuzu Banda this is new MCP and new Malawi,with fresh brains during that time when Kamuzu hired air Malawi,about 40% of Malawians were not yet born, therefore DPP must defend using today ‘s information not yestarday please, we need to know the truth about it and how it ends.
That time economy was good, we had maize in the silos, the roads were good no potwholes, hospitals had more than enough drugs. The security was good. Civil servants were respected. Things were good and Kamuzu could afford do that. All the notable infrastructures we see Kamuzu did it. He had a vision for Malawi. There was no cashgate.
This is stupidity of highest order. How can you compare the time of one party system and the current multi party system. After all the time kamuzu was taking the said people the economy wasn’t in shambles like the one we have now. Please learn to accept mistakes and make correction where possible.
We shoved Kamuzu rule aside due to its excesses. This is the stupidest excuse for repeating the same.
