If indeed our MPs are people’s representives, they must accept the fact that this type of subsidy( cement and Iron sheets) has to go back to the drawing board and better still be burried for a while. Campaigning and Governing are two different things. The realities on the ground don’t favour the implementation of this unrealistic campaign promise as the would be beneficieries cannot afford the cost of a bundle(ntolo) of grass. This is a big test to a listening government!

7billion for 11000 people….
4,7billion for nearly 200 people…
If the MPs present the interest of Malawians which one between the two were they supposed to say NO??

The main problem is that the majority is illiterate only used during campaign. The educated are uncivilised aligned to tribes. The whole country is too Stupid lead by Too Greedy leaders blessed by a clergy that prays 4 money. Shame on this Stupid Nation!

It can be a good contribution but whenever you look at the one contributing it doesn’t make any sense. Most of these are fortune seekers. Today that party tomorrow another party.

Chimwemwe, I think you are too prejudiced. Malawi cannot develop with your mentality. In arguments, you consider presentation of facts, not personality.

This is just political gain for DPP members. This is what happens in a country that has no national development plan. Each party ends up bringing in things that would help its members at the expense of the whole country. It is not parties that Malawi lacks but people who have the interest of the nation above their own interests and understand what democracy is all about.

Why does Gondwe not think properly now? He knows that it is foolish to subsidise building materials when the budget is tight. If anything, why not subsidise water in traditional housing areas of cities to ensure everyone has clean water. Yes, the DPP is a party led by street sweepers.
