Why not engage commercial farmers whose estates have been idle for the past few years?

Nonetheless this js a step in the right direction.

We cannot subsidise subsistence farming.

Mwachaje, I really don’t see any relevance with population data. The 80s policies are still relevant but tailored to each successive period accordingly. You mean we should tolerate poverty, hunger, diseases, etc just because the population has increased. What a stupid way of thinking?

Why don’t you give us the gdp figures or income or expenditures as well for the same periods?

What is your message? Condoning this govt failures by blaming population increase?

I thought we sent the State Vice President to Israel to have a grimpse of what Israel is doing its irrigation? What has that trip benefited the Malawi nation? Or the report from Dr/ Mr S Chilima is not ready?

Jessie said Chakwera said this sometime ago. If you suggest to a man to marry a lady and the man does what you have suggested, you would be stupid to feel high as if it is you who has married the lady. If he doesn’t marry the lady, you would as well be stupid to feel sad and think you are a failure! An advice or suggestion can be or cannot be taken. So Jessie you have scored a zero on this one.

Here are Malawi population figures from 1960 to 2015 to give a background to this discussion.
1960—3,525,127
1970— 4,529,749
1980— 6,236,824
1990— 9,447,123
2000— 11,321,500
2010— 15,013,690
2013—- 16,362,570
2015—- 17,653,786
Now tell us whether or not the policies during the eighties are still relevant in 2015.

Kkkkkk. But the background information is not enough make any meaningful discussion here let alone we don’t know what policies they are being talked about.

Kamuzu once said “Democracy is war” to many of us we understood dis in a distorted way we thought Malawi wl be another Mozambique.Its only now we r realising de war he meant was of making crucial decision at a crucial time which has been lacking in our leaders since de dawn of multiparty.De results are perennial hung and poverty which in turn is killing many dis is de war which Kamuzu mean when he said it way back in 1993 at a Balaka rally!

There is always a price to pay for electing into leadership positions people who are dull and daft just because they belong to your preferred tribe or region. We will continue to pay a price
