    1. @ mukhito
      And to imagine that Kasaila still has a job confirms the level of moral decay in mutharika’s style of leadership. No where in the world would a head of state tolerate such immorality. What picture do officers in the civil service let alone at his ministry have of him after seeing that pornography . Simply put what view do the officers including female messengers have of him after seeng his manhood in the press. Mutharika should surely have standards as a leader for God sake. Even mfumu ya kumudzi yosaphunzira nduna yake kupanga zimene anapanga kusaila that mfumu was going to fire that nduna. Koma mutharika is simply something else. No class . No standards . No morality. Nothing. Too Sad to have him as leader for a country that prides itself as God fearing. Shameful

  4. I hate using this word but I am compelled to use it. It’s rather stupid for Malawians to grant DPP another term. Do you guys really have a feel of how much pain and miseries you have inflicted and you continue to inflict on Malawians ?. You are living in a world of your own hence you can’t understand and feel the calamity that this country has turned into. There is simply nothing working for a common man in malawi. Absolutely nothing. To think that renovating and turning an old structure into a poorly equipped community college, a 3 km dual carriage road in the capital city is what development is all about goes along way in demonstrating how cheap this government is and how lowly we are as a nation. For God sake the people of malawi are bleeding as a result of myriad social and economic problems they are facing. They are deep in poverty with 71.4 % of them living below US$ 1/day. This is dehumanizing degree of poverty by all measure and standards. Stop this Nosense of telling people that you have developed Malawi please. It’s simply stupid and insensitive for someone who claims to have lived in the States for well over 40 years to say that he has developed this country. It’s simply stupid. I can boldly say it with my right hand placed firmly on my heart that Malawi will never get anywhere near sanity and development with mutharika in charge. He is very basic and too ordinary in everything. Fogert about the papers he holds. I have doctorate degree myself and I know that not everyone who holds a doctorate degree is smart. No. And mutharika is simply one of them that holds a doctorate degree but not smart. We are in the same club and we are able to assess one another and mutharika does not convince most us that he is smart up there and that is even made worse by his old age. Take it or leave it with Mutharika in charge it will be more miseries and torture for the citizenry of malawi.

  5. Asaname uyu akuyenera kusiya kunama.Akufuna atukule ku lomwe belt komwe amaona kuti ndiye kuli anthu.Kwinaku mkumamata chingamu chokuda mkuti tala.Madala Paulendo mwadya kwakwana.Sitikusiya uziptita basi,mwakula muzikagona pa mpando wakhuta ndalema.Too much mbwelera.

  6. How can we think nicely more expecially us youth yet you give us beers to drink and get drunk then we can be fool to you
    .

  7. Considering what Malawians are going through, if Peter Muntharika is granted another term, it will be a nightmare!

  8. When did you realise this since 2014?To develop Malawi or to continue enriching yourself and your inner circle, friends and relatives.

    The worst thing that happened in Malawi was you being a Leader.

    You have people in your fence who are Billionaires and cannot explain how they hot their Billions.

    We talking about billionaires who are in the country where you have ochestrated the gap between the rich and the poor.

    The country rich and beautiful but destroyed by corruption.

    The country known to have received trillions of aid but children still learning under trees, no proper hospitals pathetic infrastructures.

    Malawi has been failed again. We need a leader who listens. A leader who is not afraid to call a spade a spade.

    A leader tough on corruption, nepotism , tribalism.

    A leader with a vision.

  9. Nooooo!!!! Please not APM again, maybe he want to kill us, what’s so special with him? Not him again no. Is he the only one in Malawi? For his information, he is the worst President Malawi has had ever… We don’t want him

  10. 5 years to do more damage to the nation, through nepotism, stealing government money, inflating contracts, poor governance etc. Dream on DPP!

  11. Gogo, you waste government money with those useless MBC innovation awards. There is no any innovation at MBC, neither can they see genuine innovations in others. It’s an institution that propagates hate, nepotism, corruption, stupidity, to say the least. Stop blowing money on senseless gatherings

  12. There is a big difference between Malawi as a country and its leadership. Malawians love their country so much that they are all proud of it. What they dislike is the leadership because of its long uncurable disease of maladministration. So please dont mix up the two. Malawi wont change geographically while leadership comes in and goes out leaving the country worse than before. It is therefore not necessary to be taught to love mother Malawi because we already do with a lot of affection. We only distaste its leadership. Why after 53 years half of the population is still below poverty, 42% of the population is severely malnourished and 575 women per 100,000 die during delivery and 60% of population compete with with pigs, goats and cattle for drinking water in ponds and shallow wells. Why it is that the so called healthy economy isnt fixing these ills? Does one need a university lecturer and bishop to tell him things aren’t right? Amalawi adachidwanji to be kept in this state of despair? Ask a villager how he sustains his life its; by the grace of God. One would spit you in the face if you tell him we have one the best economies in the region. It high time to admit the failures and let others try to run the government.

  13. Another 5yrs to getting K145million from indian friends, to be backing the likes of Chapondas before they go to court, to be raising fuel when world fuel prices are going down, to be switching off escom power to create a problem so that when its installed to be praised as a President who solved 25hr blackout of Malawi, to be buying 20 megawalt of Zamabia interconnection when Zambia boasts of 700 megawalts surplus, to continue ruling us without reducing Presidential powers thou in your DPP Constitution you pledged to reduce? What new things that bwana you shall do for us to get out of this abject poverty you proudly boasts that your are tackling?

  14. Tell us first of whats your definition of “development” mr president cause it seems like we have two different version! We will retire you so you place stones at Ndata next year if think thus where development is needed the most KKKK
