Malawi govt ‘dismayed’ with judge Kenyatta’s lockdown injunction: Experts call for consultative process
Minister of Information, Civic Education and Communications Technology Mark Botomani has said government is ‘dismayed’ by High Court Judge Kenyatta Nyirenda’s decision to issue a court order blocking coronavirus nationwide lockdown for at least seven days.
All non-essential businesses and services were to cease operating during the lockdown, which was due to end on May 9.
The restrictions aim to slow the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, which has infected 16 people in Malawi and killed two.
But minister Botomani said government was at discomfort with Nyirenda’s action to grant Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) an injunction.
“We did not expect that in the prevailing circumstances we would have a judge that would grant such kind of injunction,” said Botomani, who is also government spokesperson.
Recently, the government spokesperson also blasted judge Nyirenda for issuing a court order that led to the release of four Chinese nationals who had been quarantined on arrival at Kamuzu International Airport (KIA).
In an interview on BBC Focus on Africa, Botomani said the lockdown measure is “basically to protect the lives of people.”
Nyirenda’s ruling ran parallel to that of Health Minister Jappie Mhango, who announced at a briefing that the number of coronavirus cases had risen to 17 from 16. The latest case is of a 70-year old Blantyre businessman of Asian origin.
Health rights activist Dorothy Ngoma says the lockdown is likely to create food shortages and child malnutrition among poor families.
“Much as I would really love to see this lockdown materialize, but as we do that, the children are going to die,” she said. “What are we going to do? We have few cases yes, but the government hasn’t put any packages to make sure that they don’t die. I am not surprised and if they were in the street protesting, I would definitely join them to protest,” Ngoma told Voice of America (VOA).
In an interview with Nyasa Times, social and governance commentator Makhumbo Munthali said the court injunction and street protects could have been avoided if authorities had consulted with the public.
“On the wave of demonstrations across the country my advice to government is that they need to put the lockdown on hold pending wider inclusive consultations. An Emergency Parliament should be convened to discuss the Covid-19 response. During the suspension of the lockdown government should intensify other preventive measures,” said Munthali.
He said lockdown in itself may not be an issue but the failure to put other prerequisite social protection measures and consensus building and awareness before such a decision is arrived.
“The current Malawi context where you have a leadership with less legitimacy following the Constitutional Court ruling it’s always a must for such a leadership to ensure it is inclusive in critical decision making relating to Covid-19,” he pointed out.
But Botomani told BBC’s Audrey Brown that authorities have been engaging with the vendors and other groups to help them understand the importance of the move in preventing the spread of the coronavirus.
“These engagements are ongoing process. We have been engaging various groups to impress upon them the need to comply with the stand of government. Because all we are doing Audrey, and I want to repeat, is to protect the lives of people from the coronavirus,” said Botomani.
But to him by BBC journalist that the protests seen in Malawi indicate that people don’t Trust the government, the minister said: “To say that the people don’t trust government is an understatement.
“We have been meeting church leaders and some of them actually have understood the position of government and suspended their religious gatherings.”
Pressed further by BBC that people across the country have been protesting against lockdown and the protests have also reached in areas that support the President Peter Mutharika and his Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), ‘so clearly they don’t’ trust the government’, Botomani was in denial.
He blamed what he called “the influence of politics.”
Put to him that the injunction was obtained by a coalition of civil society organisations, he said: “HRDC – these are the same people that have been leading various demonstrations across the country.”
BBC journalist pressed further that: “It’s been fairly clear that people in general oppose this lockdown.”
But Botomani said “HRDC has been working with opposition all along, it’s all politics.”
Commenting to Nyasa Times, governance commentator Munthali said it is very likely that government’s directive on lockdown will be disregarded if the protests done so far are anything to go by, and that the worst thing government can do is to use force to secure compliance.
“That would even be suicidal not only on human rights front but also to its already dwindling legitimacy,” he said.
He encouraged government to consult all key groups mostly affected and shed more light on different ways of preventing Covid-19 including the lockdown to the public .
“Otherwise, a Covid-19 response that only looks at public health perspective while ignoring the political economy realities of the country is recipe for disaster,” he said.
President Peter Mutharika warned on Tuesday that if authorities were not careful, up to 50,000 lives could be lost due to the virus pandemic.

long live judge Kenyatta
This is idiotic. What does this judge know that the rest of the world doesnt know about the value of limiting movements and contact in order to reduce the spread of the virus??? Why does one judge have the power to go against public interest? This is not a political issue, and one would expect any educated person would wish to err on the side of caution. I guess everyone wants to be a star and be featured in the news! Very unfortunate if teh virus ends up spreading and killing many – one death is too much already! Guess given the racial biases that exist in Malawi, the victims being of indian origin makes it less of a problem!
Cry my beloved country!
Cudos
Both the application for the injunction and the judgement are very clear that the Vision less DPP Government decision for lock down was lacking in terms of measures to cushion the majority poor Malawians who live on less than 1 Dollar(MK735 per day).To vindicate the Judge Kenyata Nyirenda judgement, it is only now that Government is busy collecting information from Malawians?????????Malawi cannot develop with this type of mentality.
Nonsense, the measures had already started before the injunction but the stupic judge decided to ignore all of it
Let all those who are supporting the lock down start observing it! Musafinyike yambani kukhala kwanu basi. Inenso otsutsa tiziyendambe.
You need to school yourself about how the virus spreads. Some people are asymptomatic yet carriers of the virus and are busy spreading it around. It’s those mainly with weak immune and underlying conditions like HIV , diabetes, bp and others that are affected more including people in their old age.
So your stupidity should not kill innocent people, that is the whole point.No one needs to die because you fly the opposition flag. Being in opposition does not mean you have to oppose everything, use your head sometimes
You are just too shallow and dull in your thinking and approach to issues.
YOU FOOL JUST QUARANTINE YOURSELF IF YOU DONT WANT TO DIE PERIOD. A DAD AKO WILL GIVE YOU ALL THE FOOD PLUS THE TOILET.
Senseless arguement Peter did not start covid. Bambo ako akamwalira ndipamene muzindikire a Didimus inu.
Judge Corona Kenyatta. Here is the man solely responsible for the covid virus hitting the corners of Malawi.
Para wanthu wakufwa nthena chifukwa cha ichi chindere waka chakufikapo.
If you think that was the right approach of implementing a lockdown, do as Pacharo has suggested above. Just self quarantine yourself in your home. Usafinyike. The judge has not stopped you from doing that and neither has the government. After all that’s what it wants.
My concern is the 85% of Malawians that are in the rural areas where they are no medical solutions. I wouldn’t care any less about you or the paid actors Mcp and HRDC has paid to protest. The vendors and Nsundwe zealots. A time will come when the health sector is overwhelmed by this virus and it’s effects. By that time you and your masters will disappear and point fingers at government.
Don’t fool yourself that you have the concern of the people at heart. If that was the case, you would have considered where the poor of the poorest would get their food, you would have questioned the extravagance of the DPP governance amid the Corona virus epidermic. Does it really make sense to spend MWK600 million plus on some funny lawyers from South Africa when the same can be used to buy PPEs for our hard working doctors and nurses? Only if you have blue not grey matter in your head would you think that way. Facts will always be facts even if you want or are successful in making people think differently. When you see people demonstrating in Limbe on their own accord because they are dissatisfied with some executive decision, all what comes to your mind is, “it must be HRDC or MCP behind it”. Really? Your thinking really amazes me. I didn’t expect this kind of blind loyalty and foolishness to exist. I bet, wherever you are, you are attributing the drama in your beloved DPP starring Mike Chitenje, Ntopwa 1 and other cadets to HRDC and MCP. Very funny indeed.
What is the right way of a lockdown in an emetgency situation? Consultation for how long while people are dying and the virus is spreading? Consulting a civil society that is already biased against you? An opposition bent on opposing anything? Even I would not bother to consult such a lot…it is futile exercise and just time consuming without an alternative solution especially when the measures are so clear and almost every country is following them except a few
Is there logic in closing churches but letting tobacco sales to continue, while MDF and Malawi Aka DPP Police are left loose? Are they resistant to the COVID-19? Is there sanity in the president? How can people prepare for the lockdown in just a few days’ announcement when people have no money? Does the president know hard life is in the villages? Imagine what would happen during and after the lockdown without food! Mumaona ngati poti inu ma fridge ndi ma pantry anu adzaza ndi zakudya zabwino ndiye kuti aliyense ndi wakumudzi yemwe ali nazo eti? Tamayambani kuganiza ndi kufunsa musanachite kanthu! Mukudana ndi Nyirenda chifukwa wafoilitsa maplan ndi magame anu. Kaya, musova!
One must tread carefully when thumping a mosquito that lands on the scrotum. Be very assured this government knows the consequences of failing the economy. Hence the tobacco market must be open.
You fool!! which is better, Avoid starving millions to death or opening up tobacco market for sake of th economy??
People who will die anyway if the virus is not contained? What will you be saving there? You are the idiot.
Iwe Mtondowodoka kaya umati Mtondo wobooka, tahkala phee ndi ukape wakowo. Nkhani ili apa sukuimvetsa. No one is opposing the lockdown. Bvuto ndi lakuti Boma lakolo ladzadza ndi ma kape ngati iwe yemwe omwe simukumvetsa and can’t answer questions like “why, how and when” you need to lockdown the country. So let me explain pang’ono where Boma lako is missing out big time.
To start with, I am sure you are not aware kuti even in USA not all the States are on lockdown. In Europe, some countries have refused to go on lockdown, the same with some countries in Africa.
Now for countries that have implemented lockdown, they have done it correctly to allow the government to rollout testing, tracking, isolation and treatment strategies in place while the lockdown confines people in their homes. Now, these governments also knew too well beforehand of the social and economic implications of the lockdown hence they first came up with income support and business stimulus packages to mitigate the suffering that lockdown imposes both to those people on low income and small business that cannot survive the hardships of lockdown. It is very easy to force people to stay home if you have such offers on the table. Your government is not offering any of those, the reason for the resistance.
As we are still asking ourselves all the many questions, today, with regard to the Virus, ministry of health haven’t completed testing on people not even 2% of the population of Malawi and they have idea at all as to give us conclusively where we stand with Covid-19 today because 1. they don’t have adequate testing equipment, let alone they haven’t rolled out adequate testing exercise to get a correct picture of the status.
Having said that, there are just too many diseases that continue to claim more lives today, the likes of HVI/Aids, TB, Malaria, BP, inter alia than Covid-19 that we are failing to manage. If you look at mortality rate of Covid-19 is much much lower than all these diseases I have mentioned.
So the question will still always be why should Covid-19 overshadow these other diseases?
More painful is also the fact that Malawi is copying and pasting what other countries are doing without understanding how the same concepts and practices could apply in a different setting of our country and they keep missing out a lot of things in the process. You have Ben Phiri and Jappie Muhango, the two people who are clueless, taking the centre stage, leading the Nation in this fight instead of leaving it to the health experts. I just can’t understand that!. This is not politics.
The other critical area the government missed out big time is that if you are to lockdown the country, it must be a coordinated exercise both country wide and neighbouring countries. Close the boarders and do it at the same time your neighbouring are doing it.
I just didn’t understand how City of Blantyre and City of Lilongwe could close down some businesses like bars, bottle stores and night clubs only when business was usual with the rest of industries. That was complete naivety and total lack of understanding, stupidity because it did’t have any meaning!!!! People could still drive to Lumbadzi or Bunda/Mitundu or anywhere nearby places outside town to drink then come back to town. The lockdown didn’t have a timeframe and was clueless.
Malawi made similar mistakes in 1994 of copying and pasting ideologies when we migrated from single party to multi-party. We didn’t understand the correct political landscape for multi-party regimes. In the end we allowed corrupt criminals like Bakili Muluzi to be elected the president and instead of making progress, it was a dangerous steep slope we ended up and lost everything Kamuzu built in 30 years.
Bingu came in and did his best in his first term to put us back on track but unfortunately we could’t sustain his vision and we are back again today on the reverse drive.
So please should get me right, lockdown could be a necessary ancillary step to curb the spread of the virus only if we take into consideration all necessary elements as a package other than forcing people to stay home without any social and financial security packages which could have a disproportionate result and meaningless.
Corruption is also very high in our country that some greedy politicians and government officials including NGOs will use it to their advantage. So let’s be careful with what we decide.
Achimwene tonse ndife aMalawi and we know how resilient we have been in many disasters. This one will pass too if we do the right thing. Poverty has been with us and cannot go overnight even if it is your Chakwara leading. Today we have to deal with this problem now and urgently. 21days plus cash transfer, maize distribution and other measures in.place can go a long way in minimizing the spread. I doubt if anyone will die of hunger at all.
Can a legal person explain to us what it means to effect an injunction on order that was never declared? I can’t follow this drama anymore…What evidence would the have been examining to reach a decision?
Are you living on Mars???? Who provided dates for the Lockdown???
Koma nkhope eeee Covid-19
Chinkhope ngato Boko- Haram
Lives on your hands sir! Lives are going to be lost because of your poor judgement! Poor Malawi!A chaotic battle ground of egotistical behaviour! we will pay heavily for this decision. Lets brace ourselves! Pray Malawi Pray! we are in trouble!
Its now clear these tumbuka judges want to destroy this country.
It is now clear that Tumbukas are the only people who think and reason!!!!
Kenyatta is the foolish judge who brought coronavirus in Malawi. He allowed people to be released from quarantine against government intention to isolate them when they arrived in Malawi. Then he has given an injunction against lockdown. Stupid tumbuka judge.
You are the most foolish with your cadets for making emotional decisions for fear of forthcoming elections instead of serving the suffering Malawians
Govt. must Thank this judge for pumping sense into their brains, may be now they will wake up to think and reason.
Were I DPP leader, I would see the writing on the wall, realise support from the general public is waning, stop being militant and start changing the way I do things. I would ignore advice from some traditional overzealously NEC soothsayers and instead consult some community leaders..
Metre covid has nothing to do with politics. When Malawians start dying people will know. Surely we deserve whatever is coming
Lockdown issue is a war between the rich and the poor. The rich are fearing covid 19 while the poor are fearing hunger. Both are deadly. The solution is to crack a win win deal. The rich should contribute to support the poor including the govt. If not basi zingokhala chonchi!
When dead bodies start to mount, the ill advised courts decision will be applauded by the misguided judges that ” didn’t we do well”. How inept can a judge be. You are killing the very citizens you are supposed to be protecting. Shame on you, all that expensive legal education gone to waste at a stroke. You are hindering when you should be helping out. Extremely sad.
Have you listened to what the injunction has said or you are DPP to the born and you can’t think.
You can still stay in your doors lol 😜😉 will join you after court injunction
Please collect me with this words vendor , what does it means ?? How important are they?? Where is this name originated from ??? Because it seemed to me like only malawi government which like to engage the so called vonders when she wants to do her things while the least of the nationals they go to parliament and make all necessary measures of the national please guys for every one who knows the history of the vonders knowledge me please???
Wow! This Kenyattta dude has a lean and hungry look. He seems to be up to no good. Ma cadet achita nyekhwe chaka chino.
Covid-19: The Movie. 7 Days of Injunction……..exciting time
Yes, Judge Nyirenda sounds very controversial but may be it is because I donor understand these legal matters. Sometimes because I Iwant always judgement to be in my favor. In 2014 I cried because judgement for presidential poll challenge was given during. Our learned judge, chairperson of electoral commission ,,Markson Mbendera, may his soul rest in peace, shed tears.I wished what happened in 2019 should have happened that time..
Next time do NOT make policies while you are all drunk or high on something, now you have been embarrassed
give kenytta his 2014 dues for the night judgement that helped dpp to get into government otherwise dont expect anything positive to come to him. even the case in supreme court will be thrown out because government hgas refused to renew chief justice contract
How old is Judge Kenyetta? Seems like He may benefit from retirement. His judgements are so questionable ; he is tarnishing the image of the Judiciary. He needs to go!
May be you should add the fact that the DPP has been writing letters disparaging the judges and blaming it on the opposition.
Judiciary Is Rotten Now Under Leadership Andrew Chirenda.
usovenge. Was it the Chief Justice who mobilised people from Blantyre, Thyolo, Mangochi,, Zomba to demonstrate against the lockdown.
Actually, we can not lockdown because 17 people, most of whom not Malawians who will feel the bite of the lockdown more, have been infected with covid–19. We cannot lockdown a nation when after the death of 2 of the infected (and we are properly informed covid-19 adangotengerako tsoka for they had other medical problem issues), and 3 have recovered – what that means is that it is only 12 people who are suffering from the ‘deadly’ disease. Should we lockdown the nation simply because we have 12 infected people, whose degree of suffering we do not even know? Let us be serious, how many people have died of other ‘deadly’ diseases since Malawi was declared a nation under covid-19 disaster? And for Judge Nyirenda, he has just acted according to the laws. Law remains Law, regardless of any pandemic. Peter and Gotani should have called for an emergency Parliamentary seating, pass quick bills and have Peter assent to the same to become Law, then use that Law to declare a lockdown. This is what proper democratic nations did before their lockdowns. Koma I know sangatero poopa kuti ma bill adakana kuchita assent aja akhoza kudutsanso and he will have no option but to sign for the same, this time around, according to Law. By 24th April, the covid-19 situation will have improved for the better even without the so-called lockdown, and there will be no justification for lockdown. In the process DPP yabetsa mavoti due to hasty and dishonest decisions.
Phiri kuzalila pamenepo………… wake up. Dpp is going down. Ma cadet anzanu akutuluka.
Phiri, uKhadete suukuthandizani. Be objective to comment. Why being too derogatory and DPP tribalistic. This is real spirit of DPP, tribalism, nepotism and so on. If you are not not satisfied with the injunction and the general outcry of Malawi, go and hang yourself, we can give you a lope or if u need temic I can freely give u. It is this kind of thinking that is engineering your own downfall. Dzanja lalemba. No matter how hard you try to write your trash, your time is over. You should be ashamed Eben with the protests in your strongholds.
Do not say government, rather say Executive because ithe Judiciary and parliament are part of government
The disease will come unfortunately people who have been to school are so ignorant and sick.
Maybe that is why the British Prime Minister and the heir to the throne got it. Laws should not be broken in the name of pandemic.
Another nyekhweee
Mr Botomani and you teammates take not, you will have tough time with judiciary if you don’t follow laws government this country. Consult all people who matter so that the lockdown has buy in. In the process issue of how people will survive will be collectively addressed. You can’t pretend to know everything and keep goofing. Your leader is a lawyer we are told but see how many times his decisions are being quashed. They dont hate him but his decisions lack basis and merit. Call all parties and talk this out. Real leaders do this
Kenyatta waonjeza on Covid19 issues first it was the Chinese now this injunction. Executive should be able to take measures to contain the virus without facing legal bottlenecks. It was prudent to lock down and then sort the cushioning measures and legal technicalities soon after. Prioritising cussioning measures and legal perfectionism will cost a lot in terms of human lives. Unfortunately when sunduzwayo madise uttered his nonsense last week I and many others ignored him. its clear now that we have some trained lawyers in high positions who are so obsessed with perfectionism even in the face of danger. They and there families are safe but the majority will die unnecessarily
Which Government can do things right after the lockdown has already imposed on poor Malawians? People and or Malawians knows that Malawi is under crook leadership, no one trust your Government Baba!
Full scale baba,we are smashing you
Why was it difficult for the president to bring the issue before the parliament and let the parliament approve a new bill to deal with the pandemic as they have done in all countries whose leaders respect democracy. Mutharika is paying for his arrogance.
Kodi akulu muli ku Malawi konkuno? Lockdown first and cushioning measures later? Anthu adya chiyani on day 1 or 2 of lockdown?
Why can’t you go to the same training school of judges and be a judge 😂😅.
No need for consultations. Government should leave those corrupt and incompetent tumbuka judges to be used by Chakwera, Chilima and HRDC
Achimwene government organs are parliament judiciary and executive without one no govt.executive implement laws parliament make judiciary interprets law.if the executive is doing without law its null and void court nulifies.consultation is good.one man can not solve corona wachepa naz9 zikufunika tonse a Malawi.
Mumva kuwawatu we are in a democratic world, you cant just impose somethn without proper consultation with stake holders,
bwana Phiri you are as useless, you think this will benifit the tumbukas alone, Hunger is something you cant play around with.
You guys you dont have thoughts of one struggling just to have a meal of the day. This Lockdown will create another pandemic “the HUNGER PANDEMIC” and this has nothing to tribes
Bwana Phiri stop being as useless as the Whole DPP is.
You think this injunction will benefit the tumbuka alone. Hunger is something you cant play around with while the ministers are guaranteed to have food and money, dont play around with hungry people.
You guys you dont have people problems at heartm its a struggle for one to find a meal for the day. the lockdown will create that said anarchy in peoples stomach and that will will be fatal.
Hunger Pandemic is real and it has nothing to do with tribes
Waona nyekhweee
Wadziwa lero kuti he is incompetent? Si inu nomwe munaombela m’manja in his 2014 ruling Bingu ataba mavoti?.. & why those premitive tribalistic words?
Don’t divide Malawi please, just because Chewa was adopted as official language doesn’t make any other tribe inferior.
Anthu omvesa chisoni kuona ngati dziko lili m’manja mwachipani.
Remove the DPP glasses from your inner eyes and see the real thing my beloved friend. Sober up and be a normal person.
That’s how stupid you are, lockdown is not for the President himself and or them who think they are In power bullshit! In all Countries where there is lockdown, the leadership has to call upon all political leaders and MPs to discuss how they can deal with issues of those who are under poverty,how they can help them. Where I am ,the Government is distributing food to its citizens,that is what we call care. Foolish!
You must be an idiot, we all know that you thought you will just go away with it while stealing, your time is up! See my name! Full scale baba , we are smashing you this time.
Under our Republican Constitution, Phiri, you’ve the right to hold such an opinion, albeit, it’s a very stupid one – period!
You idiot. Dziko sayendesa ngati farm ya munthu. Pali malamulo kuwopela anthu ngati awa achina Dausiwa..ahina Petulowa ndi anzawo kuti asamapange zowakomela okah. Izi za Covid 19 nzofunika kugwilizana mbali zonse kuphatikizapo a opposition. O
But it’s not tumbuka, Chakwara and Chilima are protesting in Mulanje, Mangochi, Thyolo and Phalombe?
Wamwa alovera tu kkkkkkkkkk
Wamva kuwawa kape iweeee
I agree in fact malawi lock down was designed in a simple way vendors were going to do their business up to the time that they give form 6am to 2pm politicizing everything malawi will never come right because all the politicians they are hungry for leadership so that they can succeed
Limited thinking. Imagine 400000 need the whole 12 or 14 hours to do their shopping what happens when they are forced to do their shopping in 8 hours only. You are creating bottlenecks which is more dangerous than allowing them the whole 12 hours. Bvuto ndiloti macadeti onse munasiya kuganiza amakuganizilani ndi petulo who happens to be intellectually challenged
Wondering if limiting the number of hours for vending could not have promoted reduction in social distance. Everybody could have wanted to go and buy something. The result, no social distance. Kukadamakhala gulu losaneneka. But also, was the directive not contradictory? MDF and MPS officers could have been patrolling the locations to prevent people from moving around, akadamayamba ntchito imeneyi after 2pm? Ndipo apolisi akadachita rape azimayi ndi atsikana angati in the 21 days and go unpunished, as they did with Msundwe women! Finally, ndimadabwa ku Malawi timakonda kunena kuti osachita politicize, where in the world can you have government running without politics? Our limited understanding of ‘politics’ makes us think that there is development without politics – that is not true, for even in your bedroom there is politics, unless you do not have a form of ‘governing’ your own family, something that cannot exist either.
Waiwala amako
Looking at the whole saga from a different perspective I think we could also argue this is not really about Judge Kenyata Nyirenda and his ruling. It’s possibly something else.
My take: ministers are pissing in their pants thinking if they catch the virus it is their way to the grave since they now cannot get medical treatment outside the country. Kumva nkhwangwa ili mmutu!
Countless people have been deploring the state of medical facilities in Malawi. What has the government done? Turned a blind eye and a deaf ear. Reason – the poor local people who go to hospitals without medicine do not matter since tax payers have the ministers’ backs when it comes to medical treatment.
Question is: are people going to continue blaming Tumbuka judges for failures of governance? I don’t know. I am not a lawyer by profession but I do know that interpretation of the law is sometimes based on “morality” as opposed to text book (written down) or logic. In this case I would think morality might have taken precedence. Judge Kenyatta Nyirenda may have looked at for example things that a lot of people may have mentioned else where like the preparedness of the government to mitigate the consequences of the lock down especially the vulnerable poor masses.
I would think the 7 day injunction granted should be a chance for the government to clean up their act and make sure they have a tight proof plan, otherwise lock down or no lock down, nothing will change regarding the health risk caused by Covid-19.
I just think the noise about Judge Kenyatta’s ruling is just a scape-goat to cover massive failures of governance. In short, Covid-19 or not, we should already have been doing better health-wise to make sure our people are safe.
I can’t say much as I am in a lock-down environment in South Africa, but I can tell you, with all the resources at hand this side, people seem not to abide by the lock-down rules, especially in densely populated areas (like townships) that soldiers had to be deployed there.
Good luck doing that in Malawi. I am sure there is enough money to splash around!
My prayer:- Covid 19 should first infect the president and his cabinet. Then lets see where they will rush to. They have neglected to stock hospitals with Medicines and PPEs. Countries to which they flock for treatment are on lockdown kkkkkk wagwa nayo Corona. We will perish together. If you survive become repentant and start doing the correct things. Don’t think of your stomach only!!!!!!
Nyekwe ya nyekweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ikubwela muona musanati!! Munva pheini heavy this year! Please be close to ‘him’ to avoid cardiac arrest!
