Lunguzi throws kitchen sink at Goodall over ‘botched cosmetic job’ on Malawi budget
Malawi Congress Party (MCP) Member of Parliament (MP) for Dedza East, Juliana Lunguzi had no kind words for the Peter Mutharika administration when she critiqued the proposed 2015/16 National Budget, saying the financial plan has failed the litmus test.
Lunguzi told the House that the litmus test for the Budget was to pass s a feasible plan for the future, both in the short and long terms.
She said the budget needed to have strong indications that it will create jobs, promote a culture of savings and investment, and boost productivity; to turbo-charge confidence for the years and decades ahead.
“This budget needed to restore hope; but it fails,” said Lunguzi.
She stated that any pretence by the Mutharika government that the 2015/16 Budget is in any way remedial to the Malawian economy is “a hoax, a fallacy and insult to the tax-payers.”
The MCP lawmaker also trashed Finance Minister Goodall Gondwe and President Mutharika’s assertions that the budget promise to propel Malawi to economic growth.
Lunguzi also stated that the budget does not set Malawi on a roadmap from subsistence to production.
Furthermore, the budget does not factor in the opportunities and threats challenges brought about by the digital age and global village.
“Does it [the budget] change our engagement with our neighbours and development partners towards trade and not aid? NO.
“Is it capable of boosting wealth creation at household level; Can it advance equal treatment for women and young people; Can it tackle climate change? The answers are all NOs,” said Lunguzi.
She described the budget as “nothing but a botched cosmetic job by a very desperate make-up artist.”
The budget, Lunguzi observed, “Misses, by a wide margin, the challenges that are defining quality of life in the 2020s.”
She said Malawians deserve a “worthwhile budget” that matches the priorities of the nation.
Minister of Finance, Economic Planning and Development Goodall Gondwe said during pre-budget consultations that the budget will be shrunk and will be an intellectual budget that will be difficult to sell to Malawians, including MPs.

Hey if someone tells you that you haven’t brushed your teeth. Would you expect the same person to tell you to go and brush them? Then you are weak.
the statement she makes is artistic but it fails to give alternatives or indeed suggest what Gondwe was supposed to do to give the budget the impetus to meet the expectations of the tax payers. Her statement therefore passed for a poem and not a valuable criticism
The budget should have provided mitigating factors against climate change effects which will continue to cause devastating misery on population. Please remove taxes on cooking LP gas and òn solar panels and accessories to reduce forest degradation. Then you will be investing in the future generations. Dont just live for today but investment for tomorrow’s population. The custodians of this country are yet to be born don’t spoil their future

Jullie is a geneous lady. Some men we see them sleeping in the chamber contributing nothing.Politics aside, this one deserves a ministerial position. Péter ukumuona mayi yu? osati kweni chomwe akudziwa nkutukwana basi. Keep it up Jullie. I love you.
Can’t u see the solution urelf? Resign and let other pipo come up with a sound convincing budget. Period!
because shes from mcp thats why
There is nothing wrong in a woman using her father’s name. At least there is blood relations osati zomatenga dzina la munthu (mamuna) woti wakumana naye okulakula. Stop parading the idea that all women need to be married and abusing women just because they are not married. Comment on what Juliana has said. Zachikale basi! mpaka kutchula zamkabudula (kutukwana) chifukwa you can’t digest political discourse from a women who has real power?

This is the kind of people we call MPs not silly bootlickers who praise silly things at the expense of lives of the poor people. Bravo Lunguzi and I will meet and congratulate you for this approach to issues. Your education is indeed genuine not these other fools on blue seats.
Where is Mzimba North MP? Nyalonje. We need electricity to be extended to Kamwe. All our nebors have rulal electricity, talk of Engucwin,Vongo, Lukali, Mwazisi etc. Why is Kamwe sidelined on Rural Electrification? Five years is not far, if you want to win again bring lights.
Mumu lila Gondwe.
kumangoganiza zachigololo basi. No wonder the cute lady is outwitting your brain. You are no match for her seriously.
What do you expect from the midnight 6? Desperately wanting to rule Malawi and yet they no idea of what it takes to run Govt. business.
Na awa bomali nde lawakanika!
Lunguzi is doing her profession, and wakamba zanzelu heavy. But why is someone Lunguzi should provide the solution? Is she the minister? Hahaha he won by 34% pajatu.
Kodi mkwazi ameyu alibe ujeni yoti azibambo kuikako? Nanga nchifukwa ninji alunyazitsa dzina la otate wake chotere? Alukalambatu mkwaziyu. Kulongolola thooooooo!

Constructive criticism = for every weakness, propose at least one or two better options, be very specific, do not dwell on generalities and avoid using harsh language that would make the other party to be on the defensive.
The budget is a planning framework and it is very specific. Therefore be very specific in your criticisms in order to be taken seriously.
When you go on the public podium, be selective what you say, for words, once let out, live on for posterity.
I sometimes feel very sorry for some commenters. It looks like we are still thinking of “Who has said” and not “what has been said”. And most of the comments show that the writers do not really understand what she said, the role of an MP in Parliament, let alone what the current session is all about. The Minister presented a budget and MPs have to critique it and not present a solution to the problems in the current budget; that is the work of the Minister and his team that came up with the budget. Or is that too sophisticated for most of us to understand?
The problem with Malawian (and African) men is that they always want to define a woman through marriage. Why is it that men (MPs, Ministers etc) who are not married are not insulted, but when a woman speaks men feel threatened and the only way they can try to pull her down is to talk about marriage. NONSENSE! Such a mentality is totally backward and that is why Malawi is failing to develop. Marriage is NOT the yardstick of a woman’s success at least in the 21st Century. Juliana Lunguzi is a highly educated woman who is knowledgeable and wealth more that the majority of semi-literate, bigoted and mysoginistic men who think that they are superior beings. The world is changing and this stupidity of men (and some misguided women) of defining a woman’s success through marriage is utterly foolish and backward. Today and in the future our success as human beings will be defined by education, skills, work experience, expertise, positions (jobs) and money. SO well done Juliana Lunguzi. And the yobs who are insulting Juliana should be ASHAMED of themselves.
This year`s budget is Bushit and very empty indeed. Nothing significant for Phalombe People in this so called DPP budget. Phalombe has no District hospital in this year 2015? Rabish. Nothing to show to the people who voted for DPP. Zomba-Phalombe-Chitakale road it is finished now?????
Mbuzi ndi anthu aku Phalombe ndi Neno amangovotera zilizonse. More thanks should go to The People of BT and LL at least there is little development.
Madam Lunguzi is an Excellent MP. I wish you were my MP and Wife.
Kanthu yako
Just sound bites. No substance in the critique.Whathas climate change have to do with Malawi for Gods sake? We are a poor donor frozen; non-productive and non-industrial beggar and flea and corruption infested state! The genesis of our misfortunes started with that moron Kamuzu Banda- tin pot bana republic dictator and leader of MCP! May he rit in hellllll!
Bwana Imraan, your comment just brings to the fore your being an ignoramus. MPs are, to a larger extent, no longer direct agents of development. Thats the sole reason you and me voted for councillors- to propel the dev initiatives in their respective wards. MPs can only complement their efforts. Lunguzi is a very learned and travelled and she does not just spew words out of malice.
If Malawi was a parliamentary state The DPP government would be on the brink of resigning, due to failure in getting confidence from MPs. Failing to convince fellow MPs to pass a budget is hindering government progress to develop the nation. And that in parliamentary systems is sign of failure by a government and for the sake of development resigning humbly would be the way forward but this is a presidential state the government can only resign voluntary or through an impeachment bill and from past experience impeachment bill take time to pass and they often fail example Bingu Wa mutharika after the election in 2004 when he ditched the UDF and formed the DPP. Therefore the DPP has an insurance policy which they can take advantage of they can retract budget polish it up and bring it back for another try but, this is politics and the opposition is determined to make life tough in parliament of the DPP so they really need to critically evaluate that budget and polish so that the opposition has no chance of shooting it down.
Eish Juliana phokoso,anthu omwe anakuvoterani akufuna Bridge pa Mua amavutika nthawi yadzinja popita kunsika
Munalonjeza zinthu zambiri koma palibe ndichimodzi chomwe mwapanga
Just shut up!
chengongoliwa mwangozolowera kunyoza akazi anu. Lunguzi walankhula za nzeru zedi. inu zakuwawani nanga sindinu ma boot lickers
We still have people in our country who can positively contribute for Malawi to forge ahead. If we continue singing “Politics is a dirty Game” and Malawi is a political ground, then Malawi will still be dirty.
Hehehehe macadet nkhani yake yomweyi yotukwanira chonchi munthu is entitled to her opinion which you need to respect. Stop taking Malawi as a lomweland you idiots.
Thumbs up Juliana. Let these Baby Seaters be taught a lesson..
Mai Lunguzi makes a lot of sense.
There is little hope in the current budget. All is says is we are trying to hold on as long as possible till we get donor funding.
This has to stop. We need to think in a way that will give hope to the populous.
There is very little that will increase the production base of the nation.
Just read yesterdays papers where UK MPs are questioning their Government on aid given to Malawi and a few other countries. Wake up and get real.
Well döne JL! The budget is INDEED a nothing for a poor Malawian. Malawi is once again drowning economically. Nothing tangible indeed. I see Goodal as an old bloom in the house that only knows all the corners of the house BUT UNABLE TO SWEEP WELL. This is the budget that will only milk the poor and feed the rich. Do you mean Malawi as a whole should have to hire an external budgeting group?
Musamuopseze mzimayiyu..Bigup Lunguzi nthawi yomangoombela mmanja zilizonse inatha zimangothandizila kupanga atsogoleriwa kusanduka ti milungunso topanda maina. If u know running a govt is a serious business why dont u leave to those who knw hw to run the govt then than justifying ur failures forgetting u promised alot of success
Lunguzi don’t just criticize offer solutions.. you are just like your Chakwera both of you, you are good at critizing but I have never heard any of you offer solutions to government..
Kaya zanu izoo musova
Anderson # 53 if indeed parliament is a latin term for parlare meaning to speak, then it means to speak sense or constructively. Lunguzi speaks without using logic in what she speaks. She wants to be seen working at parliament yet she just vomit nonsense like a kindergarten baby.She must wise but possibly the level of communication at parliament is bigger for her. That is the reason for just beating about the bush.
Bayson # 54 are you sure of what you are saying that Juliana is still answering to her father’s name. I mean she looks a happy and beautiful lady who can entertain a husband. Some thing wrong here.Why MCP has a good number of unmarried women. Chipongwe. Poor communication skills among Chichewa ladies. Like Juliana like Jessie, all Js. The other reason for numerous spininsters among the Chewa is that most of Chewa men spend their lives dancing gule wamkulu in Dambwe. They have no time to marry. Few of them who are marrying, they take women from other tribes like the Tumbukas for lobola system forgetting their sisters. Mbuzi za mphongo zenizeni. Juliana will never see any of her own husband . Akatopa azingolowedwa basi . Ngati akufuna abwere kuno kumwera timupatse Joe Gwaladi for her to be fourth wife.
We do not have such problem here in south because of Chikamwin system. Over 90 percent of men marry among themselves. Even my sister akweni is well married to a fellow MP for that matter.
MAXIMUN PRISON,
if you don’t know what budgets are and how they should be prepared,ndibwino kuwusunga umbuli wanuwo kusiyana ndi zimene mukunena apazi
How do you expect a nurse to understand such complicated things as a national budget?
Aunt Juliana Lunguzi, Kodi simukwatiwa? Ifetu tilipo ngati banja likuvuta just call me at o999 674 382. Banja pompo pompo. Usamangoseweretsa chilengedwecho ayi. Kumangosuka basi? Ntchito igwirike basi.
Most of the DPP cadets who are denigrating Lunguzi do not know what the word parliament means. It comes from the Latin word “parlare” to speak. Therefore Lunguzi as an MP is simply expressing her views based on her being voted into office by Dedza East constituents. Inu ngati ma MP anu akungogona ndi zanu zimenezo.
Parliament is not for speaking rubbish!!
Juliana Lunguzi!!!!!!!!!!!!! You do not fight the government! Ask Lucius Banda! Boma ndi Boma don’t say I did not warn you! We have hard the Njobvuyalemas for years in the parliament but their contributions are positive. Ngati ukutumidwa upwetekeka! Politics is a dirty game! We are using zero aide budget how do you expect the budget to focus on long term plans? How do you expect the budget to focus on savings when families are going to bed with empty stomaches? This shows how shallow minded you are! Remember Parliament debate is different from class room debate! It’s easier said than done! Dr Bakili Muluzi said “Running a government is a serious business” Therefore do not think things can be as business as usual!
Mai Lunguzi if you have petit thinking level you better just shut up your mouth. Try to check two definition of poverty by UNO. These two types of poverty are absolute poverty and overall poverty. In all definition the budget of Malawi will improve Malawi’s economy. Remember a country’s economy has some thing to do with health, education, food, safe water, shelter. Some of the points you have raised can not be only provided by the government alone but you and me. If I or you can a factory and employ locals it means employment is provided in Malawi.If people are given farm subsidy it means the government is looking at provision of food at household level by farming. Remember farming is also employment under self employment. Looking the budget carefully I think there an allocation for health, shelters, safe water, and all other elements of budget mentioned in the definition of poverty definition by UNO. So mai Lunguzi try to scrutinize many budgetary documentaries about a country’s economy before coming out with your pin sized ideas. Otherwise you will look foolish among the experts. Economically Lunguzi you cant stand against Goodall Gondwe, a retired IMF economic expert.
Read how a country’s wealth is created and calculated. Learn how a country’s GDP is calculated? Learn definition of poverty by UNO. Peruse economic documentaries, encyclopedia, amalcs, morgues,modules, presentations, archivals,
Dont just stick to old political concepts like putting mai Hilda Manjamkhosi on front lines for Chakwera. Do you want to kill Roman Priests, fathers, decons, brothers, sisters.
Malawians need to learn to appreciate comments and suggestions from the opposition MPs. Her ideas are totally valid. As a country, we need to have a budget that fosters economic growth and not only social development as usually the case. We need to create employment for the ever growing labour so that taxes are equitably shared and broadened instead of further taxing the already over-taxed entities. That kind of action end up crippling these entities/individuals to save and further invest. This is why our economy is stagnant and donor dependent. We need to revamp investments we had like MDC, ADMARC, mining, sugar, rice estates and possible switch some of the tobacco estates to focus on other crops like Nandolo, sesame etc which are fetching better prices on the international market. We need to create industries to process these products to add value instead of exporting raw products. Instead of increasing the budget allocation to state house, these are the things they needed to priority for ailing economy to enjoy tomorrow! These are issues MP Lunguzi is trying to highlight to government. Its not a criticism but a wise advice for those with ears……
The issues is budgets come and budgets go but the nation is still left poorer than it was yesterday. It is important to critique the budget but as far as Iam concerned the positive critisms do not translate into anything. Once these number as passed there is little concern from the controlling officers on how the implimentation is done. As poor as we are (forget what some Thyolo idoit says that we will be self sustaining) the Ministry of Agriculture only utilised 51% of the 2014/2015 budget allocation. It is as if we are a rich nation. we could have utilised the 49% for food security programs. What a shame? If I were a president I would not spare the Minister and the PS to show that how serious gvt is on agriculture. Never mind, we have Mr Clueless on the driving seat and nothing is a problem in this case. After all we are used to impoverishment and for the electorate, most of the illiterate, this is business as usual. Govt can go to sleep and we still vote for them. We have come to a state hopelessness that most of us simply wait for day when God will decide to change things in thsi country.
Charity begins at home. For Juliana sort out the mess at Mulangeni before looking at a much wider horizon. For the notorious party MCP then sort out your finances first before providing the much needed checks and balances on the Malawi financial blue print.
DPP, Peter Mutharika, Goodall and Friends Shame on You “Its a very big shame that Men like you who are highly considered as being wise and intelligent can come up with such a desperate, uninformed, unrealistic and laughable budget that has great potential to stir
the nation into deeper and greater economic turmoil than we are already experiencing the poverty levels keep on soaring second after minute day by day people are losing almost 90% of their buying power and yet you claim there will be economic growth in 2015/16 national budget. What kind of Leaders are you ? Are you humans just like we are ? Or maybe you are “Gods” all the power and Wisdom rests in you ? You have the freedom to deny us our rights and freedom ? We are slaves in our own motherland yet we pay heavy taxes just to finance your personal enrichment projects . Who are you ? ” Where do you get the courage to strip the Nation of it’s national Values ,Needs and Necessities .Who told you ? you could spend tax payers money as if it were your pocket money from your Parents or grandparents pockets ? Why are you not ashamed of the obvious, deliberate, dangerous crimes you are committing day and night ? Who is your God ? Do you Fear ,Honor and Respect God ? Are you Human enough to resist temptation ? Corruption is a very serious issue any Government has to deal with in order to Brainstorm, Establish, Kick start, Promote and Develop a sustainable economic growth . Malawi as a Country has 100% full potential of a successful and robust economic growth story as long as we root out what we believe is lesser evil according to a politicians mindset “KATANGALEYU AKULU AKULU TAMACHITANI NAYE MANYAZI PULIZI CHONDE ndizinthu zomvetsa chisoni kuti Nkhalamba za Maphunziro, Chuma ndi Ulemu wanu ngati inu Muzitchuka ndimchitidwe onyansa osakukhalani ndipang’ono pomwe ngati umene mukuchita tsiku la lero Boma la DPP silikusiyana kalikonse ndi Mbava zimene zikuba ndikupha anthu mdziko muno Chifukwa Mfundo zopepera zoyendetsera dziko lino zikupeleka mpata kuti atsogoleri Muzigwiritsa ntchito molakwika udindo wanu No wonder Malawi is not and “Will not move forward as long as we have the same Chicken heads running the affairs of the Country ” Please GROW UP FOR ONCE act like OLD MATURE ADULTS MUKUTICHITITSA MANYAZI IFE ODANDAULA ADZUKULU
While I appreciate your views Juliana, i beg to differ with your views. I think we should realize that the country is passing a season when donor support is frozen. I think the government has the best it could in these adverse circumstances. Moreover, it is a daring budget which has removed luxuries which are unsustainable from our our locally generated resources. Putting politics aside, how would you do it if you were in their shoes? Do not criticize coz you are in the opposition. It is time we weaned ourselves from donor dependence syndrome
i wish u could bring your own budget and read it the way you wanted everything to be. its easy to comment on someone job that to come up something alike.
Thank u 4ur critisim, we r now looking for an alternative budget from MCP so that we can compare the two budgets on which is the best for Malawi. When u criticize please always provide a solution or an alternative.
firstly it saddens me that LUNGUZI herself has failed a litmus test at Mulangeni holiday resolt.the place is a disgrace she couldnt learn from her father now she wants to lecture others.go and sort out that place first then mukwatiwe chifukwa mukulankhula ngati mulibe banja koma mudatha msinkhu
When a train is being driven by someone,it is so simple!!
Malawi,its high time you wake.Malawi did well during Kamuzu but there’s no subsidy of the current type..there’s general subsidy which every Malawian benefited and results were positive,no stories of bribery,fraud and ….gates.To me better formulate a budget free of fertilizer subsidy meant for the so called poor Malawians…just make it universal…More to be discussed later.
Kkkkkk zaphweka, ndi a nurse omwe a lunguzi kkkkkkkkk tingokufusipo apa asaaaa
Koma zavuta budget kuidziwa ndi nurse yemwe ———————-
A lunguzi musatengele ndale za nkhalamba zongotsutsa pangani civilized politics give suggestions osati kulalata sizitisunga zimenezo
Is this how dull Malawians are?
If you do not understand something that does not mean it is botched.
Being in opposition is an opportunity to show that you can run a government, so far some of us have not heard anything remotely akin to an opposition that can run this country.
Anybody can trash anything, political grandstanding and rhetoric is not the same as discussing the budget.
I hate to say that Gondwe was right, it will be difficult to sell this budget, not because it is a “HOAX” but because the few people who understand what the budget is trying to do, and are in opposition dare not support it, for fear of a tongue lashing from the likes of Lungizi.
As usual by the time we realise, “It was a good budget” it will be too late. Time waits for no one.
MCP should move forward instead of dwelling in the past. This country needs a strong opposition, not a kitchen opposition dominated frustrated MPs whose sole purpose is convince everyone that they were robbed.
Politics is funny business, look at what happened in the UK, The majority hate the conservatives, but they won comfortably, and you don’t hear anyone going on and on about how the election should have turned out.
In Malawi every news item must squeeze in the fact that we think the election was rigged. So one year on, we are still living one year in the past, by the time we start moving forward, its time for another election. And we wonder why we do not develop.
Do not forget that the likes of Lunguzi know that the longer they stay in parliament the more they earn, so spouting out rubbish is lucrative for the MPs.
No.4 Peter Mathanyula…….one does not need to be an Economist to known that in Malawi you can buy a packet of 1K sugar at K500……AND THE SAME K500 CAN BUY YOU A 50KG BAG OF FISP FERTILIZER. U dont need to be stupid economist like u ,to know that prices of basic essential commodities are beyond reach for poor tax payers. There no medicines in our Hospitals…..if the Bugdet doc can not be sold to Malawians including MPS. .THEN WHO WAS IT MEANT FOR?…….SO U SHUT UP!….IF U HAVE NOTHING TO SAY…..NO WONDER YOU ARE MATHANYULA…….
Am so sure that this is not only from ner own mouth their is some body behind her that one who said is president in waiting….. Government in waiting…. Whatever but this is not good of her be mature opposition not this way you are doing it. As much as we know the mic is unselective anything goes but what about your conscious if it is unselective there is a problem…. Once again be mature opposition and advice the gvt well this is world it hears and remeimbers more than you do….
Lunguzi stop acting as if you are an activist! You are part and parcel of the government. Before trashing the budget u need to talk about the source of money. Gondwe has the budget done in that way based on the available funds. He is considerate. If he chooses to raise the tax rates in order to cater for every thing this year then you will bark at him again. He is aware that with Cashgate still putting the economy in the hangover mood, we need to move at a considerable pace. The few roads that will be done this year still takes it somewhere.
By the way it is your MCP that delayed the real development of this country. 31 years without an opposition where you were able to eat both taxes and donor money without any questions. Contribute to the budget now by providing real practicable ideas not building castles in the air as many of you from MCP think.
Lunguzi more fire. Unakatha kudzakhala president ppopoanda Mayi Joyisi Banda kunyerera capabilities of women. You have considerable grey matter in your head. Keep it up! By the way are you married? If not watch out Lucius Banda, Njolomore, Roy Kachale, etc ku parliament ko angakugwetse. These idiots know nothing apart from piercing innocent soft and intellegent vu. Just an advise
Otsutsa!
Peter Mathanyula you are wrong. What the nurse is saying is true. Frankly speaking Goodall Gondwe is fading up and is growing old. He is not an economist we used to know. Goodall has run out of ideas to change the economy. Mkwezalamba the former Minister of Finance is better than this Goodall. In a democracy Goodall Gondwe is failing to accept the reality that he is now old and has run out of ideas hence tax on sms – that’s an indication. We need new blood, change the government new ideas will come up and not old same song. Democracy is all about that palibe zamuyaya.
How old is the president?
What you have said has nothing to do with the budget.
The question is,Did the OLD MAN and his team come up with a budget that is good for this country at this time? The answer is YES.
Mbuzi ngati inu all you are after is Money in your pocket, kuzolowela kuba, (pay rise pay rise) you do not even realise that you need a good foundation in order to reap rewards later. (Tidyeletu) Mbuzi za wanthu!!
You do not even think of your children’s future. Even Gods chosen amakapepha chakudya ku Egypt.
ok. lets see how itwill unfold. one problem only: malawi think we are poor and should leave at the mercy of so called donors without taking risk at all for growth. the template for budget has not changed.
I am lost in Lunguzi’s attempt at critiquing the shortfalls in the budget. Can’t follow any logic at all …. she seems to be using nice sound bites she has picked on the parliamentary floor and in some opera magazines but which she does not understand. I think she has done a bad job of trying to impress. She should have left the purely economics elements to those in the know and limited her critique with at least some basic facts to what she can talk about, health care matters. You get a zero from me on this one Lunguzi.

More fire Juliana!
ITS AN INTELLECTUAL BUDGET, LUNGUZI CRITICAL SHOWS HOW IMMATURE IS SHE …FAILING TO GIVE ALTERNATIVES . …..A BOGUS NURSE
Am enjoying reading the comments.
ldont see any sense in her critics..as amatter of fact ..Both Govt And opp sides you hav Arole that will guide & prtect the lively hood of every citizen..
This is a critique from an empty head of a nurse. Its all English words very well articulated but she has pointed nothing in the budget to justify the points she makes. She has failed to propose alternatives and how those alternatives will be implemented. Through her response she has done worse and stinking cosmetic job on the budget than did Gondwe. In order to maintain your respect in the house, Mum, you should focus on nurses welfare as it appears economic issues are above your knowledge and ability.
At mabvuto you civil servants are thief’s thru cash gate just shut up
Pelekani solutions
Lets call a spade a spade, Mayi Lunguzi is intelligent and she is talking sensible issues here. Zonena kuti economists are the ones who are capable of commenting such issues ndi zachikalekale, not all economists are capable and most Malawian economists are copycats of the west including Goodall Gondwe so comment number 2 by Peter Mathanyula is senseless, jelousy and ignorantic. Keep it up Mayi Lunguzi, God is with us and is always in control.
Lunguzi, anybody can say what you said after reading somewhere. Dont just say bla bla bla. Can you give specifics please. Tell the minister of finance how you would do it. Produce your alternative figures and balance them.
Gondwe, just withdraw your 2015/2016 from Parliament to redo it for fresh submission.
Sometimes it requires a layman—or it laywoman in this case?—to see the realities with unbiased eyes. After all, economists themselves have diverse opinions. It isn’t really an exact science, is it? Put 20 economists in a room and you’ll likely end up with 20 different opinions about the budget.
Incidentally, this layman thinks there’s something fundamentally wrong in a budget that reduces duty on cars and instead shovels taxes on the main means that the not well off use to communicate and maintains import tariffs on imports for manufacturing affordable soaps.
No job creation increase in robberies scandal,you will be shooting to kill suspect, shooting uncormfimerd suspect thats unprofessin.you went SA to take those thousands of people victims of xeonophobia attacks you guys helped them less coz you gave them nothing or even money to start business or to creat job for them.you think they are all goood? Some are criminals #notjustsaying
This is the govt driven by Bakili Muluzi can’t u c
Solutions solutions!! tamapangatu suggest Juliana
Quite a colorfully delivered response from a colorful lady but it says very little if anything at all.
Unsurprisingly, most readers here get carried away by anything without measuring its substance
When nurses respond to budgets….. Good practice though.
I love u sooo…..much Juliana. Please Ju, will u marry me? I promise we will kill the Goodal & His Excellency president Ather, Peepet Mathanyula.
Goodall was right… The budget is shrunk and most MPs are failing to understand it just like many Malawians. Probably,experts can make good analysis. To those that do not understand the document,make proper and wider consultations before commenting other than exposing your ignorance. One can not be an expert in every field and it becomes surprising when you you see one commenting on everything.
Kikkkk kaya mweeee tell them.
Up to now civil servants are not aware of thier increments. What kind of budget is this? When presenting budget in parliament, he said the increments will have to work with effect from December 2015, but his documents are written 2016. What does this mean?
Its only in Malawi where somebody gets K50,000 per month in the civil service where he is able to build a 50 million kwacha house,drives an expensive car from 1 to 30,drinks from 1 to 30 and buying beers for prostitutes,and sending kids to expensive private schools.Reasons our leaders are not honest people.They are only interested in enriching themselves and this has developed the culture of stealing in Malawi because you only these gogos gondwes,mutharikas and other dpp thieves are building sprawling mansions in suburbs yet they expect you to develop in life with a mere k50,000.I don’t know where this hypocrisy of these people will take us to.
A Lunguzi, budget si nursing care. It pains me to hear most MCP mps talking as if they are the most educated people. Don’t forget that most of u munaphunzira chifukwa choti ena anapondelezedwa. So do u think the whole budget is useless? A nurse and wa pastor. Which party has more mps who are spinsters
True that, becouse, it is sad, to have abudget that do not indicate anything, in the name of poverty reduction. This is so, becouse, not many who says Lord Lord will enter Heaven.

In Malawi its business as usual when all is said and debated we will end up at the same Dead end road signpost that reads “CASHGATE” money will be stolen and government officials at district and national level are just waiting for this parliament circus to end in a few weeks time and budget wil be passed then they start kutafuna with those cosmetics rural/district projects and capital hill with those fake and sexed up procurements figures which they already slotted in the budget under discussion and fertilizer subsidy suppliers or deliveries whom we all know except babies in malawi are all waiting to get their cut of the loot.Malawi needs a long stick like what DR Hastings Banda had for now its all a circus with the circus clown enjoyin free sausages and whisky.at the mansion. Ms Lunguzi these circus clowns cant change their profession unless they see consequenses watch out for the circus lions they may try to chase u just to silence you but get a longer stick and whack them hard.
