It is quite simple. If they cannot take the same austerity that the general population is taking they should leave the country. It is interesting to note that a commercial bank considers an MP a high risk customer. They know they are untrustworthy so why should we have them managing our country. We need a very slim management committee and do away with the expense and false parliament altogether.

Sometimes I feel ashamed to be a Malawian. The issue here is about a loan not a grant or anything else. Be informed that these people can not access bank loans easily from lending institutions as they’re deamed to be of high risk. Reading from the trail of comments one would conclude that our country is full of envy and lack critical thinking.

We can not call these people honourable . They are a disgress to our nation by their selfish behavior. They want to continue milking an already very very thin cow-Malawi. I hope treasury will put its foot down to stop these people.especially when treasury says the Government is already in arrears on car loans for the same people.

Surely it is justified if the loans are embedded in the MPs’ service of condition. It was the same government that made the service of conditions and it will just be right to follow what was written. Just like judges, teachers, nurses and all other civil servants have the right March or boycott work so do the MPS have the same right. It’s about being right and following what is in the condition of service. I wouldn’t want an MP leave the chamber and be vendor just because he is not being paid what is due to him. Ironically, all… Read more »

when i first read “LOANS”, i thought it was over student’s loans. but now i do not know what our honourable members of parliament think or who they represent. Just last semester, more than 10 students voluntarily withdrew at Malawi University of Science and Technology just because they were denied education loans. if you want to know the truth, please come to the campus and find out. students used to take bread and juice and go to bed, expecting them to perform. MPs please try to discuss some wisdom

MPs should first force govt to reconcile with donors who normally help all of us (not only MPs) with budgetary support. Donors are willing to help Malawi, but this govt is adamant not show commitment to curtail theft of public finances. This govt, because it is a stealing govt, is unwilling to prosecute cashgate culprits as long as they are DPP sympathizers – and this is where the problem with donors lies. And this is where MPs have to start working, not demanding for loans when govt has no capacity to pay them back. Malawians are all starving because of… Read more »
