this bill is very gud to malawians as it removes the unsetteled disputes that are there on the grund, vuto ndilakuti kumalawi kuno chilichonse timalowesa ndale. think of it, we say we’re poor planners but this bill will solve that problem coz Malawi will be declared planning area and things will normalize. aliyese adzakhala ndimalo ake mwaufulu osati kuzondedwa ndimafumu adyelawa. people will access loan in the banks and they will use the very same land as collateral.

ENOCK CHIHANA WAS RIGHT FOR FEDERALISM BECAUSE SUCH SILLY THINGS CANNOT HAPPEN IN SUCH SPACE. MAY BE IT WILL WORK IN SOUTHERN REGION WHERE PEOPLE MULTIPLY AS IF PIGS. MZIMBA IS A KINGDOM AND GOVERNMENT CAN HAVE NO INTERFERENCE OVER THE LAND. KAYA ZANU ZIMENEZO. CHINU ACHEBE WAS RIGHT WHEN HE SAID-“THINGS FALL APART IN OKWONKWO’S COMPOUND AND THE CENTRE CANNOT HOLD—“

This Government has done nothing but failed the people of Malawi, how do they expect a poor man who lives on less than a dollar a day be able to pay tax for the land which he owns or maybe this is just a ploy to grab the land from the poor Malawians and sale it to the rich and might in the society, apart from the tax which Malawians are paying monthly leaving them with nothing to take home they still want to take more from that. How cruel can this Government be, is it a sin that we… Read more »

This proposal , as it is reported here, is unwise. Utterly stupid. And it feeds into the narrative of APM’s detractors that he doesn’t understand politics, and he doesn’t know what he’s doing in the broad picture of governing. Simply a nonstarter. DPP would lose the next election, in 2019, on this basis alone! No kidding. Just ask bao players! Ninety nine per cent of Malawians would be affected by this: bad news Brown. Just because APM told Ministers to work hard and find new sources of revenue does not justify this tax grab, by any measure of fairness. Some… Read more »

I do not understand how people like you always blame the ruling party. DPP has only 50 MPs in the house, and this issue of land if it was important as you suggest, why was the opposition absent? If 65 MPs voted in favour, it means at least 5 that voted in favour were opposition MPs. If only DPP members voted for the motion, even with 124 present, they were going to be defeated. The fault is not DPPs but opposition, if you can not see that, then we will always be here crying about one thing or the other… Read more »

DPP does not have 50 MPs only coz other Independent MPs joined the ruling party and others again disbanded their parties, meaning they are more than what you think.

Inunso a Kanthu Ako nzeru zikukucheperani. Nkhani apa ndi yoti Boma la DPP labweretsa bill yoti anthu adzikhoma msonkho pa malo oti adapatsidwa ndi azigogo awo. Mmalo modzudzula kuyipa kwa bill imeneyi inu mukufuna kuti oyipa akhalebe a opposition. Inu pa nzeru zanu zowona mungamadzudzule anthu oti anayesera kumenya nkhondo mmalo modzudzula nzeru zobweretsera bill yonyansayi? Ndakhumudwa nanu. Kusapota zipani osamangosapota ngati mukusapota matimu ampira. Bill imeneyi ikhudza abale athu including your relations, unless if you are not a Malawian. I am disappointed with your shallow mind.

The problem can not be the Opposition but the Ruling party because they should not even have contemplated the bill in the first place, let alone bring it up for debate in Parliament

The law was proposed by DPP, was it not? Sure, you blame everybody who voted for it; but the party that proposed it deserves the blame. And deserve to lose the next election! Asa.
And APM is that leader of that Party, so the blame goes up the ladder – in any organization.
What’s wrong with this line of thought?
