The inclusion of the MPs and councillors is a brilliant idea. We don’t want developments in the country, constituency or ward to concentrate on small corners where the elected officer enjoys support.
We hear of complaints of abuse of CDF and DDF by MPs and Councillors respectively and these need to amass 50+1 percent. This position, to me, is non negotiable.

Extending the 50+1 to MPs and Councillors is not necessarily a bad idea. There are actually several countries that have adopted the same.

These bills need to enacted into laws asap. They will overhaul the entire electoral system for the better. Nanga abale inu Wa JC, Wa Madras’s mpaka adzikhala state President? Akutitu ma first degrees osati aja ongopatsidwa pabwalo aja opanda kupanga ka research/dissertation komwe? Ngati ukufuna upresident ukalowe mkalasi kaye . upeze degree from a recognized institution. Ukhalenso ndi support osati yakumtundu kwanu kokha. This is a national position and the holder represents the entire country to the world. Malamulo koma yawa. Bring it on. WOZA NAZO !

This is a great move indeed Those who are against this have a hidden agenda.
Members of MPS are also leaders hence they must be elected by the majority
