Tinanena paja kuti iyi ndi DPP simumamva. Tiyeni nazoni! Ma MP aCongress inu mwalowela 10% of the electorate yaku constituency kwanu ku parliament and you want to decide for the rest of the electorates palinzelu pamenepo? Tiyambe kaye inuyo. Winani by 50%+1 you become more acceptable and representational and then we go to the Presidency awinenso chimodzi modzi 50+1. Zomveka izo.. What is good for the goose is good for the gander. If its expensive for the MP to have a rerun where they don’t garner 50%+1 the same will happen to the President iyenso campaign yake amayendela dollar zikusiyana… Read more »

The executive has repeatedly advised u that for any bill to be tabled in Parliament it undergoes a process. The Law Commission did it’s part. The Executive had to do its part also and they just done it. Now let Parliament do its part as well. Get the advice from the Speaker.

What a misguided comment from The Nation Newspaper. Government has done its job. The Nation’s commentary means its journalists do not know that a bill starts as a proposal and goes through a process of discussion, development and creation by the Law Commission before the government (cabinet) discusses and makes necessary changes/amendments. It’s sad our media/journalists are not conversant with these things.

Martin, be schooled that when an MP goes to Parliament he does a national duty not only a constituency duty. When he makes laws he does so for national laws not constituency laws. An MP is a law maker not ”wopala misewu” as they were doing before elections of Councillors. Nawonso agwemo mu 50+1 basi.

Government is right. According to our constitution, bills are brought to parliament in a process that involves the Law Commission PROPOSING a piece of law, and then, the Executive arm of government (cabinet) works on those proposals. Government or rather cabinet can make changes to the proposal made by the Law Commission in order to bring a bill in parliament for debate and adoption. SO there is nothing wrong with what the government has done. Kudos to government for bringing a bill that demands greater mandate (50+1) across all elected officials – president, MPs and councillors. No fooling about.

They want to frustrate the process.. but my advice is .. vote for the bill.. the amendments will be done once these guys are gone… They will not be in power forever… People are watching.. whatever you will do on this bill will ve a bearing on ur political future…

I repeat these old matchona leaders are crooks, where in the world have you ever heard of 50+1 applying to MPs. It just shows how selfish and intolerant and arrogant is Peter Mutharika`s leadership. Mamina okhaokha mmutu mwawo. Who told you that Malawi will led by DPP for life?

The bill is a way govt want to play its dirty tricks. The country has a lot of challenges to look into., electricity, 1960s road system, high poverty rate, agriculture for we dont have mines, dirty govt buildings in remote areas towns and cities etc……
