Van u see that its Times News which reviews corruption in government. Bushiri can be paid to weaken The News TV. Another reason who leave and join Bushiri are weaker people its Malawians greedness.

Malawians are fun people.
Thats how lyf goes.If ur havng 10 u wish it could be 20 then havng 20 u said aah had it been it is 40 will be better.
If i were a Times worker i would stay coz all companies are facing similar problems until Peter Mutharika leaves presidency
Why Bushiri poaching people from times that pathetic it is hard to train people this is nonsense
its obvious one has to look for greener pastures.
Exactly, we all need money.
