Malawians react angrily to  fuel price hike as Kwacha weakens, inflation on upward spiral 

1. You can blame MERA as much as you want but, believe me, this organization, just like MACRA and, literally, all statutory bodies are puppets which can be dangled by DPP anytime they wish. CEOs in these organizations have pawned their brains to the crooks such that they can’t think any more. What a waste of brains. Perhaps there is little they can do; what with families to care for and those children still at school.

   We Malawians are too friendly, too polite and bending towards stupidity. Elsewhere this fuel hike would have been a big issue, sending people on the streets.Here in Malawi all what DPP supporters will do is to organise counter demonstrations or urge protestors to engage government in negotiations which, unfortunately, lead to nothing.

2. this decision is made by an institution that monitors trends. fuel price is determined by market forces unless we want the govt to subsidy it which for me I cannot support. Malawi is one of the poorest country in the world. we cant compare with south Africa. even south Africa cant be compared with uk. while I agree that fuel is too expensive but what else should be done. should the govt subsidy fuel instread of maize and fertilizer?

3. Have Malawians ever thought about being a colony again? Why not ask a rich country, like Australia, or Britain or Germany to come in, and to assume colonial rule? You can be assured that the corrupt Malawian leaders would be fired and prosecuted, along with the bureaucracy, and a firm but fair administration would be put in place, and the country would start moving in an upward direction at last.

4. Prayer Petition For A Civil Servant!
   Our Father In Heaven, May Our Salaries Be Regulated By Malawi Energy Regulatory Authority (MERA) The Same Way Fuel Is Being Regulated. In The Mighty & Powerful Name Of Jesus We Pray.

5. It seems that leaders in Malawi- the said warm heart of Africa- no longer care for the citizens they lead. Of which God expects leaders of countries all over the world with God fearing spirit think about the poor citizens affairs. In my own perspectives never have the Malawian leaders think about comparing the citizens income to those of other global citizens income. To ponder over the truth a person working as gardener in Joni -RSA-earns more salary than a graduate in Malawi unless he/she is employed by an NGO. The trend being used to increase salaries is 5% while commodities increases by not less than 50%.How will Malawian citizen cover this gap, how????? To say the truth Malawi is a very small country that if we can take into account all donor funds plus taxes being paid by poor Malawian and from 1964 each Malawian would have been a millionaire by now. Approximately 21million population by now if all Malawian resources and income proportionally shared each person would go away with more than 1million Mkw. Oh God help us because you are the voice of the voiceless. Malawians are being led to sin-stealing, corruption, killing, prostitution etc. just to earn a living, no one cares but law imposed without researching the cause.

   If one wants a service in any office cant get it freely unless he/she bribes, and only those who have money and relatives on board get services and jobs faster but the rest -many-suffering. Now they are campaigning to be voted for promising to bring food on Malawians tables, smiles on their faces, hope on their hopelessness they caused already, safety, health etc. as poor as our minds are we shall still vote for the same ppo bringing pain always on our lives and families from one decade to another. What ppo want to see is change that has never taken place in millions of families in Malawi but only few cashgatiers,corrupted families are enjoying. They promise lies, work on lies and produce lies.50years have gone Malawians take mbatata and black tea for breakfast-January to December except xmas day, take bonya and nsima Jan to Dec. except xmas (if God mercifully provides).Kaunjika clothes since chitaganya.Ask a child living in Malawian cities -Zambia line,mtandire etc- what is ice cream or chocolate or how it taste she/he will mumble to answer. Our children don’t know it or how it taste. Yes road constructions but how many decades will the roads bring food on our tables.

   To wrap up everything may someone compare our Malawian citizens income versus the cost of living in Malawi-the gap is huge. No one cares, Malawians pay more for basic needs than what they earn where is the difference coming from. By average one is paying 1000kw per day for transport to and from work multiply it by 5 days add his/her lunch cheapest 1000kw add the two costs multiply by 4 weeks a month how much is one coughing out from a 50000mkw salary or 100000mkw a month and from the remaining amount pays rent,water ,electricity,food for the family home,school fees,clothes etc.Please Malawian leaders and prospected ones think about the average Malawians, how they are surviving and suffering. You jail them if they do evil just to earn a living but cant think about the cause of their criminality yes its not justified b4 men and God but who justify your secret cashgates,maize gate, electricity gate, Watergate, fuelgate, taxgate, politicsgate.”Kulibe kopumila ndikotawira ife amphawi mMalawi”.Oh God help us bcoz those who try to advocate for the poor buns are put in their mouth everything ends there while they still get donor funds as human rights advocators. Malawi needs people who love her to run. Oh God almighty help us. MALAWIAN LEADERS AND PROSPECTED ONES GOD ALMIGHTY EXPECT U TO TAKE MALAWIANS TO HEAVEN THRU YOUR POLICIES,LOVE,CARE MIND U HE WILL JUDGE.

6. we’re being led by crooks, thieves, mafias. DPP leaders are too greedy, all they dream is stealing from their own poor people!

7. 2019 vote wisely, remove this pathetic government and put a God fearing leader. Don’t get confused with (team b) NO. These people are one, vote for a servant leader, Chakwera!

8. #SomethingMustBeDone

   1. may2019, something will be done my brother dont worry

10. Mera

11. Mesa should introduce a project to educate the people on how the fuel pricing system works.

12. This is a DPP party ploy to fund its campaign. We have evidence that global fuel prices have steadily gone down and prices of fuel in Malawi have been steadily going up. Where is the justification? Why is it that the DPP takes people for granted. Malawi is now Mutharika’s personal estate. Shame on Malawians.

    We have MCP in the opposition and we expect the party to voice against this move. You see, Chakwera will not comments on this. This guy has nothing to offer to Malawians. He is sleeping while Malawians are suffering. He is busy practicing speaking English with American accent. What a shameful opposition leader we have.

    1. now you know why must of us left mcp, chakwera is toothless, he can not handle the big problems we have in malawi

       1. When you see that Chakwera is failing you, you don’t need to complain, go to the street and speak your self, why Chakwera in this? I thought you would say Peter has failed you guys.
          Next election you vote for some one who has failed you so that this can be continued and crying every day.
          MCP can say something on this but what is it going to happen? Your Government is deaf, it never listen to it’s people.

13. Malawians lets wake up plse lets show nchona this is not 1960 by the time we had no choice to oppose, really this is corruption cz iye and his fellow friends they get everything for 3 its too mch now

14. A bishop amenewa n’galu wati??

15. Why should fuel prices in Malawi go up when prices on the world market have steadily been going down.? Has the inflation outstripped the Fuel price drops? Can MERA give us the stats on which their decision was made so that Malawians can make informed opinions?
    What is happening with the fund that is used to cushion increases in prices of fuel? Malawians with pain remember how MERA funded the ill fated purchase of maize from Zambia whose sole aim was to fleece Malawians. Could we have an independent audit of this fund?
    In no satisfactory answers come Malawians will assume MERA is funding we know who at the expense of poor Malawians

16. So much for the President’s fine words about getting the economy moving and inflation under control. The state of the economy is generally the most important factor people consider when casting their vote in a general election. Where does this leave the DPP come May 2019?

17. Pajatu a Malawi munailephetsa DPP kukweza magetsi tsono ndimomwe akukwezano mafutamu ngakhale mitengo ya mafuta pa dziko lapansi akutsika koma a Malawi okha akumawakwezera pogula ndithu “Corruption Tax Indeed”

18. This organization called MERA is useless,we don’t need such an organization, I can’t understand them,who come up with the idea of having this group of people who are eating our money unnecessarily,MERA must be dissolved,they are killing us,let them do another business not this energy thing

19. Nyapapi apa ndiye zakuvuta ndithu.. DJ nyimbo ma cadet avine alangika nawo apa

20. Raising cash to finance quick projects to blindfold Malawians that the DPP government is keen on development. Crooks.

    1. Absolutely agree. Funds for quick fire projects by DPP, they have been rolling out to hoodwink Malawians into believing they are developing the country – good spot mate! Read this comment people. It makes a lot of sense.

21. As it is, any attempts to demonstrate against the fuel hike will be opposed by stupid DPP supporters, led by Mchacha, who will opt for peaceful dialogue with government. Kkkkk. One wonders when this dialogue will take place and where it will lead us. A Malawi ndife wopusa. Full stop.

22. Every thing is possible in Malawi, to have Passport is possible in Malawi,
    To have ID is possible in Malawi
    To have have sleeping government is possible in Malawi.
    To have opposition without power is possible in Malawi.
    To have leaders who can steal from their own people is possible in Malawi.
    To have the hospital without medication is possible in Malawi.
    To have people backing poor leadership is possible in Malawi.
    To have no reforms is possible in Malawi.
    To have who doesn’t want changes in life is possible in Malawi.
    To be insulted by politicians is possible in Malawi.
    To fooled by politicians is possible in Malawi.
    Everything is possible in Malawi.

23. ZILI BWINO PAJA CHUMA CHIKUYENDA BWINO ……CHITUKUKO POSEPOSE …..MAGALIMOTO TITSITSA MITENGO DPP WOYE ………….

24. Penapaketu it doesn’t make sense… The global prices have declined and yet kuno kumudzi we are doing the opposite….. And that is why we are failing to develop as a nation, as we are always doing things contrary to what other countries are doing..

25. Tionana May 2019

26. What type of economics is used in Malawi? Corruptonomics? Shame on the Malawi Government

27. I thought low inflation which DPP touts as one of their achievement has to stabilize the prices of basic commodities. I have always said that is theory but practically this matchona govt can not solve that, Goodal Gondwe did economics in 1960s and can not be trusted with todays economy, he is only good at manipulating figures and thieving with his fellow tchonas APM inclusive. Cry my beloved country.

28. Standard bank leading the depreciation of Kwacha, this bank has a problem it does not love malawians, it just wants to make a profit at the expensie of poor Malawians, reserve bank too weak to regualate these commercial greedy banks
