This DPP govt just wants to broaden revenue collection without thinking of negative consequences of this law. If a piece of land is registered under the name of an individual/company it becomes a private property under that person/entity. People of Cholo and Mulanje are suffering because most of land is private property. Yet these Lomwes are seeing nothing wrong with this new law. If land land becomes private property where will public property be constructed? e.g where will be graveyards? Schools? Hospitals? Roads? Airports? etc? Private property owners have a right to protect use of their land by any unauthorized… Read more »

You are just a pathetic tribalist. What has this got to do with Lomwes, Mulanje and Thyolo? Drafting of these land bills started in 1996, gone through four admistrations and passed by the current DPP administration. The objectives of the law is to make the entire Malawi as a planning area and land security for the people. Currently chiefs can just decide to snatch land from a family or an individual and sell it to some rich fool or redistribute to their relatives. This new law is trying to address that by putting checks and balances among communities themselves, not… Read more »

The programme on Zodiak on Land Bill was well clarified and Senior Chief Lukwa from MCP hold Kasungu was there. They clarified sections that people did not understand. Where are your fears? It was clearly highlighted that the Law stops chiefs from grabbing land to people who spend long times away from the village. The land every villager claims is now a protected area under the new Law. Land administration still remains in the hands of chiefs, boundaries between chiefs clearly marked, land between villagers clearly marked to avoid milandu imene anthu amalidzana becuase of just 1 foot.

DPP always brings undemocratic laws to Malawians. This will changed once Chakwera takes over govt 2019. Don’t worry Malawians God is on our side.

Actually it’s the opposite. How you read the bill yourself or mungolankhulapo muchimbulimbuli pakuti opposition parties atero? Kodi kusintha kuti mfumu idzigawa malo timodzi ndi anthu ake kudzera ku community land committee is undemocratic? Ine nduona ngati mfumu kulanda malo amunthu nkupereka kwa wina popanda wina kufunsa ndiye undemocratic. Don’t be brainwashed baba!

In fact, they are no longer taken seriously. They yap politics, regionalism and tribalism. Tell me if any reputable media house, commentator or the general public has made any remarks towards their yapping other than Nyasatimes? none. If the catholic bishops made a similar remark, everyone would be discussing that, that’s the difference with this Livingstonia Synod PP northern region committee.

Before i go, have you observed that this PP Livingstonia synod club always spumes regionalistic sentiments. Otherwise they haven’t commented on the positive remarks from chiefs in other regions on the same.

When people say some of the provisions in the land bill are not good, and then fail to mention those bad provisions umangodziwiratu kuti they are speaking under the influence of one of the corner stones in our national anthem: Nsanje/envy. They wish kagulu kajaka kakuyendesa boma and not DPP.

It’s obvious no provision is bad in this land bill for Malawians and this is the reason why any of those alleged bad provisions are not cited in this article or by the so called reverend Livingstonia.
