The writer is just too critical and with baseless and misinformed arguments. As much as I wouldn’t agree with the writer, I think we Malawians have a problem. We always blame our leaders for issues that we can handle ourselves. We are good at highlighting problems than suggesting solutions to the problems we have. We shouldn’t expect Peter Mutharika to solve our personal issues…….we need to come up with solutions to our problems not blaming our leaders all the time. We can hardly progress as a country if we keep on blaming the leaders all the time. Let’s try to… Read more »
Iwe Kandoje, chonde don’t poison our minds with your false information. Mbendera is not a relation of Mutharika in any way. And to those who have believed this rubbish please, go back to your senses this is cheap propaganda from the DEVIL’s agent by the name of Kandoje. Kandoje the Bible says “Though Shall not give false testimony” And that’s what you have done. To Hell with your Lying toungue from the pit of darkness. Mbendera si mmbale wa Peter. Ndi mmbale wa inetu. Tamuoneni!!!!!
Banana republic
govt can only do what is can based on a budget-of which 40% used to be provided by donors. we have a very narrow tax base based on PAYE and the rest of society (vendors, villagers etc) don’t pay any taxes!! so where do think delivery of services will come from?? 80% of the people are crying for services but pay no taxes!! how crazy is that??? now factor in that of the little budget money that is there another 80% is stolen by civil servants/cashgate/fake allowances etc.!!! and you are complaining??? go look in the mirror my fellow Malawian!!… Read more »
Why is Malawi the poorest country? Answer: because of tribalism. Mbendera, being a cousin to APM, had to declare APM winner of presidential elections even if he was not. And most people hated JB for her embracing the north, a region many non-northern Malawians tribally distaste. As a result Malawians have failed to put the right people in presidential leadership. What then can be done? As Malawians are so tribalistic, the country as it stands now will never have the right leadership at president level. This means the country will get worse or remain the poorest for ever. The solution… Read more »
i remember in his manifesto he said malawi has everything it needs to develop as people of egypt did with nailo river we will do with lake malawi and malawi will no longer be a consuming nation but producing country and it will be a food basket for africa.

One of the best article I have ever read on here. This is reality folks whether we like it or not. Sadly the bootlickers and hand clappers will dismiss this article full of facts. We have leadership that is not only corrupt but also clueless. I wonder how any sane investor would come to Malawi where security is non existent and infrastructure is in shambles. Sadly we have people in this country who actually think APM is doing a great job. How sad is that? This government has failed us. There are no policies to get us out of the… Read more »
It is an achievement to be the poorest of the poor. So let us go and celebrate for this achievement. Democracy, a government of the people, for the people and by the people. The people have spoken. Let us live by it.
Indeed we are the poorest country on planet earth.The rason is we are not hardworking ,we always look for easy money and we behave as if someone owes us something yet we are the ones who owe our country our services.
Iam totaly agree with you Mr writer.
