We r nt poor infact we r rich coz we r de fastest consumer. To b a consumer it means we have resources dat we exchange for something such fertilizers,cloths cars,food etc. The more we consume=the more we produce, in this scenario we cannot b the fastest consumers if we produce less.all in all for us to realise dat we rich we nid sit down and reduce imports for luxuries, this is so coz outsiders get little from us and we get more from dem as such we make dem rich.what am saying is we nid concetrate on using locally… Read more »

Yes, Malawi is one of the poorest country in Africa. Why? (1) Because northerners I mean ( these Tumbukas) were not given a chance to rule or lead the country. (2) Because of Kamuzu dictatorship style. (3) Because of corrupt and selfish leadears as from Day one back in 1964. (4) Because Malawi don’t need donors but investors, (5) Because Malawi is not govern by the minority

We can change this if we start appreciating what politics is and what it entails. Politics is not about being in state house to abuse resources and allow other people to benefit without looking at a bigger picture of the nation. Next time let us all vote wisely bearing in mind the facts we have on the ground.

you must no that there z a very big gap between the poor and the rich so how can u expect the country to develop in this way. it doesnt mean that Malawian r lazy they r hard workers bt the problem they lack suport 4 example lets go to fertilizer subsidy program the aim of that program was to help those who cannot manage to buy fertilizer at its original price bt u will agree with me that most of the people who manage to buy this fertilizer r rich people jst becoz they hoave got much money. how… Read more »

This is very pathetic and indeed the situation on the ground shows that we are a damn poor nation. But let me emphasise the fact that our nation is not doomed in terms of resources , in fact it is one of the most blessed but our mind set or rather mentality has let us into this kind of a mess. We have always had greedy leaders who do not put the welfare of the people at heart instead they misplace priorities . Billions & billions of Tax payers & donors funds are circulating in the hands of a few… Read more »

Mr Reporter, I like the point where you say,”barriers to investment include shortage of foreign exchange and poor infrastructure.” I think our priorities are not in order. Some of these people have tarmac roads up to their door step and had built mansons in their village and then the University which was to be built in Lilongwe is in their farm. However, some areas where investors can put their money have earth ungraded roads all the year, rightaway from the DC’s office to Capital Hill, except MI road. Whatever, people will say, let them use the infrastructures in their areas… Read more »
