Congrats Mr. Alufandika for the new job! Welcome back to MEC. You have filled the shoes of a big man. Willie Kalonga was well loved by staff in MEC and we all know he is a professional. Haters will always talk of financial abuses, we know it was govt interference that led to his dismissal . Otherwise he would have been arrested.
Mutionjezere malipilo bwana
Congrats. Koma ife a DPP usatiyiwaletu. Takuikapo ndife kusiya Atumbukawa ndi a Chewa. Mwanayu makisana ngwathu.
Mukhaula a Congress.
Sorry Sir. Just joking. I have no yet recieved your dossier yet on my desk concerning your machinations and political kinetics. Until the dossier arrives we will only afford the sincere congrats deep down from my heart.
When we finally get the MPs to approve all the electoral bills through fire and brimstone, please be royal to the barefoot Malawians who are looking forward to a better tomorrow to supervise the elections fairy.
All the best.
