The problem with the constitution is that it was written with specific characters in mind and once there is leadership change it is then that we see gaps. I don’t think at of writing the constitution they had Mutharika’s in mind; who in their wisdom, have sown seeds of division, encouraged and practiced nepotism, tribalism and favouritism, which has led to massive looting.

If president is found to be corrupt,… Read more »

Peter Muthalika pretty knows all the loopholes of Malawi’ constitution as he was one of the key framers of this supreme legal document on the land. Loopholes such as a presidential immunity from prosecution while in office and first pass the post are detrimental to Malawi’s democracy but Peter will try all tactics in the world against repelling these bad laws. Malawians must tirelessly fight all and any bad law that benefits the few and not the entire nation. Experience has taught us a bitter lesson that when a selfish person becomes a head of state and his stay in… Read more »
