Scotland First Minister Nicola Sturgeon: Partnership benefits Malawi and Scotland

In Malawi Parliament the President has no session for question time but the Constitution under Section 89 (4) , the President is required to appear in Parliament  for questions time.

Malawi legislators introduced the new  standing order 68  to bring President to the House for Question time on a Wednesday “at least once in each meeting of the Assembly or by a resolution of the House.”

Scotland’s First Minister Sturgeon welcomed  the Malawi delegation and President Mutharika to Holyrood.

“It is an honour and a pleasure to host you today and I look forward to continuing our partnership,” she said.

In her address, Sturgeon said  a renewed global goals agreement was signed between the two countries.

“This is an important way of achieving shared ambitions,” she said.

The first minister outlined the progress on health issues in Malawi through partnership between the two countries.

These partnerships don’t just benefit Malawi, they benefit Scotland as well she said.

the man is too old to learn. Nothing pleased our president! He was just wondering what on earth a leader could be brought that low. Our friends are ruled by leaders with integrity and they have nothing to hide. We need a game changer in Malawi and that’s Chakwera. That’s the only way forward!!!!

The Parliament where our man can go to is this one, not Westminster in the heart of London. It was only Kamuzu who had the calibre to set his feet on Westminster and address the British Parliament. No matter what you do, you will never match Kamuzu, you are too small (kuchepera kaba). Anzanu ndi awo akuyankha mafunso, paja inu mumazemba, kuopa chibwibwi m’gulu mwa anthu and yet we hear you are a professor. Professor saopa kulankhula kapena kuyankha mafunso.

All our political leaders fear to be put on the spot and answer questions. APM dodges that. Akakhala Chakwera ndi uyu wathawa kukankha mafunso ku khothi. No way he can stand and answer questions in parliament.
