About 15 people are feared dead in what could be the deadliest accident in the northern city of Mzuzu and...
POWELL -WANDIWAZA!!!!MALAWIANS ARE BIG TIME JOKERS.THEY LIKE COMMENTING ON THINGS THAT ARE IRRELEVANT TO THEIR LIVELIHOOD.
(a) MPIRA
(b) GOSSIP STORIES
(c) Love stories
(d) Kumwa pa KAMBA or BWANDIRO OR CHIWAVI
(e) COMPLAINING.
They need to change their mind set and start discussing serious stuff. All the above zosathandiza-kungodyelana ma UNITS.
The only things growing in Malawi are the waistlines of the fat cats in government. As corruption expands the economy contracts. Mr G is totally devoid of ideas, hence no details as to how the economy could recover. Why not substitute the growing of tobacco with the growing of food, since the bottom has fallen out of the tobacco market and the country has to import food? If the President was really serious about his responsibilities, he would replace Mr G and appoint someone with practical ideas on how to grow the economy of Malawi.
You are talking about substituting tobacco, is that the job of Minister of Finance? Growing the economy is the responsibility of commerce and industry, housing, Finance plays a not a very big role, in fact it should be a collective responsibility.
How can one person be responsible for the whole economy? Only in Malawi.
How can we improve if only a few comment on developmental issues. if this was cashgate, love story, or say a religious post, there would be 1,000,000 followers and thousands of comments. We have a lot to be done to improve the situation. our grassroots have no capacity and only ask for “their ancestral share” of national funds that they didnt contribute to. What would be the minimum percentage of dependents (in other words the carrying capacity) that the social budget would support? In Malawi I guess at the moment the dependency syndrome is nearly 90% considering the levels of… Read more »
So why is he still Finance Minister? as old as he is.
17 million people and there is no one capable to come and guide this ship! this is reason Malawian politicians think there is a bloodline dna to leadership of the nation.
Most people forget that people do not apply for ministerial posts. They are protected by the constitution. A President is given power to appoint.
Sometimes I wonder why people complain about Goodall Gondwe, and saying kulibe ena? He did not ask to be minister, how many of you would have turned it down?
At least he is the only one I know of who resigned from a ministerial post.
Wina ndani?
That’s the extent of your contribution? How dull.
Mr.G.Gondwe,you are just wasting your precious time for nothing.In a country where corruption reins high,there is no expectation of tangible economic growth.To say the truth,Malawi has been thrown into hyenas’ jaws and to remove that,we shall need leaders of high calibre of which are none-existence as by now.The leaders we have today,are selfish,down to earth tribalists,regionalists,incompetent,corrupt and illiterates, to them,they cannot live without politics because they do not have any other profession a part from fake PHDs and aboveall,they have never ever fought in anyway or form for freedom struggle of our nation they are just receiving the rewards like… Read more »
from the figures mentioned, I hope with all due respect that he actually does not mean the economy has indeed grown by 1%. It was 3.1% expected to hit 5.1% however that has now been revised down by 3%. Now you can either take the 3% away from the revision or take it away from the start position of 3.1%. So if currently the economy stands at 2.1%, then it means the economy has shrunk by 1%. To be honest, without real effort to contain inflation which is affecting the poor export earning due to devalued kwacha; the situation is… Read more »
Without donor money, you can be sure Malawi will collapse. With DPP ruling, you can be sure no donor will help Malawi’s budget. These are the facts – take or leave them – they are the facts.
My hands are still wide open waiting for a day when I will clap for the finance minister. In 2014 he alluded to that effect.
Gondwe sobering up now. You can’t fool people all the time. The lie catches up with you. When you are completely sober you will tell us the truth which is that because of corruption rampart in you government you have failed to pull the economy out of deep recession. These things work together. Ulesi kuba umbombo nkhwidzi unyopi dyera kupanda chikonda mabodza. All these describe your government. How could you expect success under these conditions. You need people to help you and you lie to the same people you want help from. You live in paradise and continue to burden… Read more »
This octogenarian should be reshuffled. He has run out of ideas to keep Malawi’s economy on its feet. He is impotent on the modern economics. Each and everyday we hear of excuses from him. Does the president think that he is the only one out of the 16 million Malawians who can do the job? Sometimes its good to hire people who are proactive, let these grandfathers go and have more time with their grandchildren. Shame on Malawi
