There are so many bad laws in the Constitution of Malawi that require repealing to suit current political system. Apart from this President and Emblems and Flags laws the Rogue and Vagabond laws are out of date. A Special Law Commission need to look at irrelevant laws current being abused by this knackered and old and outdated regime. Even the Malawi Police are happy abusing the laws when they should be challenging the government.The police are poorly paid and live in dilapidated house’s and wear torn and old uniforms and yet they are very loyal to their masters. Utsamunda ulipobe… Read more »

If DPP do not want people to be criticising them they should refrain from provoking others.

If you provoke expect people to react. We are not intimidated by you. This is just a kick of a dying horse.

Muuzane kumpandako. Nobody fears you at all. We just respect you.

Mchacha should know that kuno ndi kunja. One day you are going to regret.

Karma.

The law is in order and does not protect the president only but every citizen . If I am insulted I can seek legal redress. We simply need to mind what come out of the mouths

If we are to promote politics of castigation and insults what are we teaching our children?
CSOs are headless

Kodi malamulo amatichiyani nkhani ikakhala kukhothi? I think folks you are not respecting the courts. The President is our father we must give him respect. Kodi a Mtambo ndi abale auo mwakatenga mafomu. Nthawi ikuthathu. Mpokoso yanu yatikwana. Thank you.

The president is not our father, he is just the president. How can you be referring to the president as our father as if you ate children in a democracy in 2019? Its a shame that people with that childish thinking still exist in 2019, how can wr develop like that!?

Imagine Trump regarded as dad for the American people, or Theresa May as Mother for the British? Or even Zuma as dad of the South Africans?

Respect should be earned and not asked for. This is the basic principle of life. To ask for respect simply means one does not deserve it. In this case the president does not deserve respect if he wants people to respect him by force. His actions is what will earn him respect. He should simply work out his issues if he wants respect.

Simply put, this law must go! Our lawyers should do the needful. As a country we do not want laws that create semi gods in a democratic society. This was a law for colonialists and dictatorship in a one party government, and not now. Surprisingly, it is the DPP government which has used this law a lot since democracy started in Malawi. What the CSOs are saying is true and any competent court with sound judgement can not use archaic laws to convict citizens in democratic set up. One wonders also what this law intends to achieve. The time our… Read more »
