The First Grade Magistrate Court in Phalombe has sentenced Group Village Headman Kamwendo of Traditional Authority (TA) Nkanda in Mulanje...
Malawi is in this state of economy and poverty because of Bakili Muluzi. He brought into government all thieves who were his friends. Sold every company and parastatal that produced Malawi products and provided jobs to Malawians and pocketed the money. Look at what they did to Press Corporation, Cold Storage, David Whitehead, MMM, Grain and Milling, MADECO, Chikangawa, the list goes on and on. He can’t even point out what he did in the 10 years he was president but depleting everything. He told people to come to cities and do business with no resources to start with. He… Read more »
The story as narrating the chase between the Lion King and the the Impala the prey, will never be the same. Both will talk of their how strong or smart they were even in the midst of casualties. No matter how Muluzi sweetens the success story to multi party dispensation from the cruel autocratic regime; the view from the ordinary people is disturbing. Malawi has gotten worse economically, socially and morally from what it was in 1993 to now in 2018. The post dictatorship leaders have driven the country to the ground and right into a dark hole to the… Read more »
Most of the institutions talked about are toothless, lack independence or can be swayed.
Democracy not benefiting as there are a chosen few enjoying at the expense of the masses.
One just has to look at the suicidal procurement of the genet which have turned a marginally profitable institution into a loss maker. For what. This is true of many other institution in our country.
The country is being run into the ground, as far as I am concerned it is being done on purpose.
Don’t tell us lies,which meeting are you talking about here?The only people who came out to criticise the regime were Aleke Banda,Kanyama Chiumie,Chakufwa Chihana you name them not you Bakili.After referendum in 1993 thats when you formed your party and you won the elections in 1994 BASED on tribalism and regionalism.In that year the one who was popular was Chakufwa Chihana and he is the one who liberated us from a one party system to multi party
Gerhard Anders in “Like Chameleons. Civil Servants and Corruption in Malawi” published by Euro-African Association for Anthropology of Social Change and Development 2002 pp. 23-24 reports that: ” Bakili Muluzi was elected in the first free elections in 1994 and re-elected in 1999. The new government and parliament took several anti-corruption measures often under considerable donor pressure. In 1995 parliament passed the Corrupt Practices Act and in 1998 the donor funded Anti-Corruption Bureau became operational.This policy is a direct product of the promotion of “good governance” by the World Bank, IMF and the International donor community (e.g. World Bank 2000a,… Read more »
Muluzi may be saying the truth but implying UDF started meetings as a pressure group in 1983 is a total FAT LIE. Who could dare Kamuzu in thr 1980s? Men couldn’t even trust their own spouses? Ndiye meeting up to over 15 people?? So Tcheya probably was meeting BJ to gossip about former colleagues in MCP, YES or just for men’s ‘pep talk about girls/ women. Not that they were planning any tangible maneuver against MCP, NO! Muluzi should STOP trying to get credit he doesn’t deserve. It JUST happened that by God’s Grace he happened to have been the… Read more »
Nothing good came out Bakili talking of 1.5 billion,how he killed Malawi railways to empower his company etc…what a waste
After your time of presidency, the UDF vice president was late Aleke Banda and why did you leave him for Bingu ? Do you call that democracy? Third and open term which you introduced you think is democracy ? Your lure was painful.
I dont get sense out of this. Why are suffering out of this democracy if you are jovial and happy that you started democracy. There is no future of children everything has dwindled the things that were vibrant by one leader Kamuzu so what is purpose of democracy bola one party system yomeyija mankhwala analipo, sukulu zabwino, chuma chabwino ulimi wabwino zinthu zotchipa kuba kunalibe iweyo chair unaba 6 pence anakumanga pano Chaponda anaba koma akuti alibe mlandu what is the use of democracy.
I have no better words for Muluzi. He messed up this country. Malawians became thieves, lazy and corrupt in the name of “kumachenjera pa town.” How do we cerebrate democracy of poverty, corruption, nepotism he planted in Malawi. You fought to pave way for stealing government resources. You sold government companies to your personal advantage.
