Mr Msaka the Nandolo tycoon, are you not ashamed?
IMF will likely withdraw its K50b financial support putting pressure to the fiscus. The govt plans to cut the recurrent budget and the developmental projects budgetary allocations. Now we have the same govt making announcements about waiving fees for (public) secondary school students that will cost billions of Kwachas. For anyone to say that this decision isn’t political is stupidity of high magnitude. DPP-led govt doesn’t have a coherent suite of policies that can take Malawi forward. The only thing that they know is how to steal from the public purse. They have strategies upon strategies on how to loot… Read more »
read last part of the above story: it was a condition from donors—– abolish secondary fees and we will build 256 secondary schools for you. deject from your analysis.
I wish you could say it in another way or don’t comment before you read the story. check for facts. above all most analysis are talking on conditions of perceptions.
It’s funny that you say that Kassan. I would never ever comment on any issue at all without reading or having facts at my disposal. The agreement between Malawi Government and the US do neither mention the 256 secondary schools nor stipulate the abolishment of secondary school fees as a precondition. If you are a civil servant please access the agreement and you will probably understand where I am coming from.

Would you please share part of that agreement?
it does not matter who asked us to abolish secondary school fees, we need to make our own decisions that make sense, The questions you should be asking are:
1. Is this sustainable?
2. How will this affect the quality of secondary school education?
You dont just jump at everything donors tel us to do , we need to have balls

Either the figures quoted are incorrect, or someone can’t add up – MK1,500 + MK500 + MK250 does not equal MK3,250. In any case the move will be a disaster unless properly costed and funded. With all the other problems in the country it is surprising that this largesse can be afforded. Where is the money coming from? The idea of free secondary education for all is admirable, but can the country really afford it at this time.
It just shows that government already subsidizes even before the abolishment. Do you think the cost of educating 1 student/per semester can be K3250. It is better they just make it free
