MCP says federalism foes are ‘eating’:  NPL poll shows DPP, UDF MPs say no

1. DPP & UDF thieves including their presidents are against federalism. If worse comes to worse, we will form the proposed Front for the Liberation of the North (FLN) to fight this stupid government of Lomwe.s through war.

   1. A Nyamazi,
      Mukumatha Mawu anthu akumpoto inu ngati Malawi yonse ino mwachuluka ndinu atumbuka, kodi mukawerengena kumeneko muliko angati? Nanga bwanji maiko enawa sitikumamva za Federal Government zanuzi?

2. Previously I thought that Benson Tembo had a backbone and the intellectual capacity to steer MBC into being a real public broadcaster but alas!!, he has proven to being just another boot-licker and MC for DPP. How could MBC parrade goats to talk about issues affecting people? Benson remember “He who knows not, and knows not that he knows not, is a big fool” you and your fake pastirs and activitists should just willingly go to hell before we force you there. You cant speak for masses, talk about urselves and ur stupid and full of shit family members only.
   Invite me for a debate if you so wish!!!!

3. Very interesting debate indeed, one faith group on TV Malawi said 80% of Malawians don’t understand federalism because of Umbuli!!!! But then went on to display his Umbuli by denouncing the proposers of federalism!!!!! TVM, don’t parade such people who contradict themselves.Its a shame to the nation!!!!!

4. NTHAWI ZINA SIBWINO KUPUTA MA MINORITY.KU NIGERIA, AKUVUTA AJA NDI MA MINORITY. TIKAKWIYA NDE MUZADZIWA KUTI BOLA TIKANAPANGA ZIJAZI.OR KHALANI PAMIPANDOYO KOMA TSIKU LINA MUZATSIKA MUZAWOWONA ZIMENE ZIKUNENEDWAZI.

5. Nation inasiya kunena zoona masiku ano….

6. Don’t be foolish in thinking, referendum on federalism will involve people from all regions and believe me the majority will be the Nos.According to my analysis,95% of the southerners shall vote no 95% of the northerners shall vote yes while 50% of the centre shall say yes and the other 50 no .considering the small population of the north, the Nos shall carry the day.But if it was seccession alot of southerners would go for it because they feel that their already developed region will be free from nepotistic and greedy Tumbukas

7. Having followed federalism debate I can clearly appreciate why Malawi will take practically centuries to develop. How can the government mobilize its entire machinery and resources just to fight a straight forward issue like federalism. It beats a normal mind to see an entire government fighting a system of governance that has successfully proved its vitality in maintaining stable governments world wide. It is clearly unfortunate that a country like Malawi would waste its valuable time and resources on a matter of debating federalism. We should waste time and resources on designing systems, rules and procedures of implementing federalism because it’s the way to go. The arguments being advanced by government border on misinformation, greed, childishness and moral bankruptcy. There is nothing to defend with the current governance arrangements. The level of nepotism tribalism regionalism and executive arrogance really abhorres and rob legitimate citizens of Malawi their legitimate hopes and aspirations. If you come from the North you can not hope or aspire to become a PS or director because such positions in government are given on a criteria that is founded on tribalism and regionalism.

8. Zibwana eti zaumbuli zanuzo ife ai atumbuka inu acabecabe kuzolowera kunyera madzi eti,inu mxamka dziko lathu apo bii mpita ku tanzania.

9. Wether u lyk or nt no federalisim in Malawi a Bandah + Kabwila ooooh bwanji manyadzi?

10. Federalism yomweyo mp amene akukana wotchani ndimbava zomwe zomwezo.

11. If the current owner of Nation Newspaper…. Thoko Banda is earmarked for a diplomatic post, under the DPP appointment, what else can U expect from such a newspaper apart from boot licking, misleading, nonprofessional surveys?

    Just as Kamuzu Banda was cheated by “few” that Malawians don’t want multiparty, so was Joyce Banda cheated that people want cows to get Malawi flowing with milk ignoring seriously addressing the absurdity of cashgate, now somebody wants to fool the nation that people don’t want federalism? Prove it by a referendum, U will be surprised.

    To refute multiparty, MCP said multiparty is war, hahaha… Cheap politics, now someone wants to say federalism is divisive, from… John Tembo… Hahaha.. His son is in UK, at the Malawian embassy, do U want Peter to recall him if Tembo says federalism is a better way for Malawi?

    If Peter Mutharika himself 8 years ago suggested that federalism is the way to go, who are you now to change his conviction? Indeed unless you really enjoy exploiting the other “regions” , I mean other regions, whether it will be South, North or Central you will be against federalism.

    Federalism is just another system of government and is just as good just as it was with one party and now multiparty democracy, don’t be scare mongers, and trying to blindfold our beloved President Peter Mutharika.

    In a country where ethnic diversity is irreconcilable and i think Malawi has reached to that extent, otherwise supressing federal winds of change will just either cause a Nyasaland Boko haram, secession or whatever you may call it.

    We tasted one party system, we have tasted multiparty system, now its time to chew federalism, period.

12. whatever will come out shall pass federalism or no federalism, it wont change the fact that my beloved City BLANTYRE is commercial city in my life i had never been in central or north because i have really nothing to do in those places, if federalism dominate BLANTYRE CITY will be more high standard than normal, I LOVE BLANTYRE, LIMBE most importantly I LOVE my home MACHINJIRI AREA 3 KWA RUWANDA, and i love MALAWI

13. One Malawi, wina alira! palibe zogawanapo dzikoli, ngati wina akufuna dziko lake achoke ku nyasalande kuno ndi kupita komwe anagawanako.zibwana eti!

    1. Ludo, we were even before you came to impose your Malawi on us. Malawi on us. Ambuyako sanatipase dziko limene tikukhalako. Our very ancetors did. Kapena Pitala sanatipase dzikolo ayi.
       There fore we do not need to plead with you to be independent. You can neve ver enslave us whatever the case. Why cant you saty on your own ndi umbuli wanuwo?

14. The federalism debate has come at a wrong time. This time the economy is in shambles . People are in a state where they will accept even secession of all regions , as a way of mitigating the impact of poverty in the country . Most of the southerners think federalism is a mass exodus of Tumbukas to the north , which they support . Referendum can only result in mutiny . People are not well drilled in the fed issue . Government tread carefully or a genocide will be on your watch .

15. Its one Ma La Wi! wina alira, Zoti nkugawa dzikoli ndi nkhambakamwa chabe! amene akufuna dziko lake atha kutuluka ku nyasalande kuno. Ziwana eti!

16. Nonse mukufuna federalism ndinu atumbuka opanda ntchito madzira anu nonse..anthu okuba inu..

17. But the best thing is to tell people what federalism is all about, its advantages and disadvantages, then allow them to vote for or against.
    in so doing you will allow people to make informed decisions on federalism, thanks

    bullets woyee!!!!

18. Propaganda by people who want scones from D phi phi like Thoko Banda. Why do they fear ?

19. Musavutike ndikukanganirana dzgkoli ngati mudalilenga ndinu.kodi simuktdziwa kuti mwini wake wolilenga akubwela posachedwapa? Lisiyeni dzikoli mudzingoyangana maso kumwamba mwhni wake akubwera adzathetsa MIKANGANO YONSEYO. musanyozane, kutukwanizana dzikoli ndi la mwini make ndipo kukudabwani kuti mukulimbilana mugawane. Chiyambi cha nzeru ndiko kuopa Mulungu.

20. Ma MPs athu sakupanga zimene akufuna anthu awo koma zomwe akufuna akha IFE tikufuna FEDERALISM In our area.

21. kkkkkkkkkk

22. Nothing surprising in this mediocre survey. Even if all Malawians were sampled the NO side would win, but the regional pattern would be so stark that it would be unreasonable to maintain the status quo.
    Look, 100% of Southerners would vote against it while 100% of Northerners would vote for it. 60% of the Centre would vote for it, but Maxon Mendera, with his usual tears-of-joy, would announce that the NOs had it.
    Once again, it would be Southerners celebrating while Northerners (& Centrals) shedding copious TEARS!! Or Tenthani’s “hot tears”.
    No good at all. In fact, in the event of a NO vote as described, expect an immediate bid for real SECESSION by the most aggrieved. Southerners, with their tailoring-vending thing, would then be in TEARS.
    How will the South accommodate 500,000 returnee Tailor-Vendors? They say “Make Hay While the Sun Shines”, so bring on Federalism now, because when a petition for real Secession comes it will be too late for tailor-vendors.

23. I think someone doesn’t understand, what the MP feel doesn’t matter, the issue of federalism has nothing to do with a Bill in parliament, it will be settled with a referendum, all Malawians shall Vote on it. if one region doesn’t want to go vote, then other regions shall vote for their own sake, so you see its a loosing battle for DPP and UDF.

24. I dont like chitaganya amalawi tinakhara bwinji kumangofuna zinthu zopanda pake pano tili kale pa mavuto azachuma nde tikufunaso kuwonjezera mavuto ena amene akufuna chitaganya ndikuwona ngati samalawi munthu osamakonda zozisangalatsa wekha kuma uzikonda dziko lako chitaganya kwaine ayi zingowononga ndalama zaboma.

25. Federalism or no federal nothing will change in north

26. DO THE MPs UNDERSTAND WHAT FEDERALISM IS AND ENTAILS IN THE FIRST PLACE?

27. Kodi anthu odana ndi atumbuka inu munkatukwana Mzomela Ngwira pomwe ankayambitsa nkhani ya Federalism mukuti chani pano? Bwanji simukuwatukwana achewa anzathuwa ofuna federalism?. Tiyeni achewa anzanga tidziyamba taganiza tisanatukwane a mitundu ina! Onani taoneka opepera pano!

28. RUBBISH ITS LIKE MULUZI WHO WAS 3 VOTES SHY OF A TWO THIRDS MAJORITY TO FORCE THE COUNTRY INTO A THIRD TERM SYSTEM SILLY MPS WITHOUT HEARTS FEDERALISM IS HERE TO STAY

29. kabwira’s comments are always destructive and her intetions on federalism are not of a gud faith. Such pipo do not deserve to be leaders coz they cant unite this nation.

30. Nose mufuna federal system ndinu nfiti…greedy will kill u..do u know what this can result into? Amene wakutumani akuphetsani. Anyani inu eti, agalu inu eti, mwadziwa pano why? Dont just do things for your own sake, but poor people out there. Moti muzikamba zama school kumakamba khani yopusa ngati imenezi. Mufa ifa yowawa.

31. Whenever something good for all the people of Malawi crops up! as long as it is brought up by the opposition, the govt of the day will go to any extent to discourages such a thing without giving any thought about it but the voice of the people will always prevail.

32. Man of GOD KAMATA MULIPO? MUDAKALARIKABE ON HOLYNESS?

    This bro. was powerful then ndili pa Poly ankabwera kuzararikira on HOLINESS nde eeeeh amapanatu,,,,BUT it was great…don’t know how the enemy tricked him to leave hi wife and the rest is history….I wish you rise up again since a righteous man shall fall 7times and RISE UP AGAIN…..HALLELUJA BRO. HENRY………..

33. The survey taken by Nation is so innacurate. Why leave out the 71 MPs? Why? Bulsheet survey. You could easily have done a 100% survey or atleast 90% coverage and let’s see.

    Also you should have included in the survey how many MPs understand wht federalism is and what is it in few words.

    So you are talking to 75 MBULIS WHO DON’T EVEN KNOW WHT FEDERALISM IS. Same like in 1992 when Multiparty was coming in, Kamuzu told his MPs that Multiparty ndi Nkhondo. So if you ask any MCP MP then what is multiparty, they simply said ” MULTIPARTY NDI NKHONDO”. You know how dumb Malawian MPs are even in 21st century………..

    1. Interviewing all MPs is not a survey. In a survey there is what we call sampling

34. what sister is saying quiet true,think of ur father if he has three wivies,will he divide the same love among those ladies,if you love one it means that u will be hated by the children also,as a good father not to be hated by the children he must share equal,federal comes when there is no average among regions,those people oppose it they must get civic education becoz they did not go through the school doors but the window,study the word federal before u have started opposing and in listening on the radio is part of education not music,u must coment for beneficial of the malawians amen

35. Malawi u a going too far. You better work up. Federal or no. things will always be divagar . Ingolimbikirani kupemphera kuti mukalowe ufumu wa ku mwamba basi.

36. The fault is with our journalists who misinform the citizen with propaganda instead of disseminating and educating the citizen with correct information. If you google you get correct meaning federalism but surely it does not mean bringing disunity in the country.

37. FEDERISM IS THE WAY TO GO AS FAR AS TRANPARENCY IS CONCERNED. ANZANGA NONSE AKUMWELA, PAKATI, KUMPOTO TIYENI TILIMBIKITSE CHITAGANYA, TIZANJOYA. MA MP CHILUNGAMO CHIKUWATHAWA.

38. open ear.

39. inu aku Dowa, Mchinji, Nsanje, Machinga, Rumphi, Mzimba talankhulani za chitukuko chili pa boma pa kwanu. Chitukuko chimene Boma lopanda federal linakupangirani!!!! TIWUZENI ZOWONA

40. LET THE NORTH MANAGE ITSELF SO TOO SHOULD BE THE CENTRE.IT SEEMS THE MAJORITY SOUTH IS NOT SURE OF ITSELF OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN FULL OF THE USELESS CHARACTERS. BAKILI MULUZI INTRODUCED CORRUPTION IN GOVT AND LATER STOLE MK1.7 BILLION DONOR MONEY,LATE BINGU MUTHALIKA JUST CONTINUED FROM WHERE MULUZI STOPPED A WHOOPING MK61 BILLION WEALTH WAS ACCUMULATED IN JUST 8 YRS OF HIS PRESIDENCY FROM A MERE MK150MILLION INCLUSIVE OF UNPRODUCTIVE FARMS. JOYCE BANDA WENT FURTHER THAN BINGU WITH HER MK20 BILLION CASH GATE SCANDAL.
    MALAWI IS POOR TODAY BECAUSE OF THESE USELESS BASTARDS FROM THE SOUTH WHO HAVE PROVED TO BE WORSE THAN WITCH CRAFTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

41. Federo basi!

42. Ko tso mkuti ngulu wa okanila

43. Chakwera and MCP are busy with nonsense things advanced by few misguided and greedy people from the north just because the wife of LC and VP come from there. Please spend your time in rebuilding the party. Be assured that even if we hold a referendum now the federalism idea will be defeated just as the DPP got all seats in the local government by elections in the north. So LC please put JK on the leach before you become irrelevant in Malawi politics. Mark my words, you will face rebellion in your party very soon.

44. kabwila even you are eating tax payers money. Dont think just because you are not the ruling party then the money you recieve is not tax payers money. Tge salary increament you mps gave yourself is tax payers money. That 24 million loan you got was financed by our taxes as well. the allowances you get for seating in parliament and the cimmittees is all tax payers money. You are just bad loosers.

45. this time federalism will come to pass. Some People from south are against it become their region in empty tin it has nothing to contribute to the country. What these people know is stealing, corruption, nepotism, reproducing more, talking baselessly,………..

46. Ilike the idea but we need to plan it because it will bring division amongs tribes,

47. Mbctv please do not take sides pa nkhani ya federalism,sikuti anthu amene akufuna system imeneyi ndizitsiru or amisala. we are in a democracy & kukhala ndi a different view on national issue isnt being divisive or war mongering. Parading anthu monga mafumu,atsogoleri atimipingo tosadziwika bwino,muslim council crowns, who dont even know the meaning of federalism,is an embarrasment & recipe for trouble. Remember the kamuzu regime used the same tactic by tellin pple that multiparty meant war? chonde like the president said,let people debate this issue freely & responsibly. Mbctv do not bring confusion among the pple. Hutus & Tutsis massacred each other coz of propaganda like Mbctvs!

48. kutengetsera ndima percentage ali pamwambawa olo UDF itavotela Fedulo still Federal can’t scoop enough votes to pass in the chamber
    Mayi Jesse is too obsessed with UDF,it pains her to see UDF working with DPP,
    If the President offered you a ministerial position you would’ve grabbed it with two hands(no doubt) and obvious you would be in forefront opposing fedulo, there’s name describing people like you(opportunists)
    to hell with federal,Malawi is too tinny to be divided into parts

49. Malawi is the poorest country so they no need to be part of federalism

50. Chimene chikundimvetsa chisoni kwambili is that MBC TV is busy peddling blantant lies about federalism ndipo it does not make any make any effort to air opposing views. If you MBC say you are a true public broadcaster allow opposing views to be heard on MBC. To say the truth under Peter Mutharika’s DPP MBC is hopelessly biased towards DPP. MBC is not a public broadcaster. It is a DPP Broadcaster. I know that Dr Benson Tembo is just a puppet at MBC. Real power at MBC is with Sumbuleta a DPP stooge. I appeal to Nankhumwa to order MBC to open up. For the people in the centre and north federalism is the way to go. It is not about dividing the country. Federalism is amending the constitution to reduce the immense powers of a state president which are often abused or misused and giving some of those powers to the regions-that is giving more power to people to do what is best for themselves. This can only benefit people. I am very happy with MCP for taking this stand. Malawi has not prospered much over the past 50years partly due to the unitary system of government.

51. ”Tsoka mtundu ndi nyanja pakuti oipayo wasikira komweko” tsoka dziko lapansi chifukwa cha zokhumudwitsa zake’ tsoka kwa yemwe azetsa zokhumudwitsa,kunali bwino kwa iye kusabadwa

52. Kodi ulipo JESE unasowatu? Mahope

53. Southern Region contributes little to the economy of Malawi. Their contribution is in form of thieves and prostitutes. The centre and north cultivate tobacco and all the revenues are taken to Chiradzulu, Thyolo and Mulunje. Very little goes to Mchinji, Rumphi, Mzimba, Ntchisi, Dowa, Lilongwe and Kasungu. We in the centre and north want a federal system of government. That is it.,

54. Guys federalism is simply the same idea of local government structure basi. DC vs Regional Governor

    1. Kasamba please don’t show your ignorance in the public. If the two were the same those opposing it should have not been doing so. They know the added value of it all

55. Za zii, osamayamba nkhani zanzeru bwanji iwe kapasula.usapasule ziko lathu wamvaaa!

56. I LIKE IT

57. The Legislature is part of Government. Hence ALL MPs are part of Government, whether or not they are in the party administering Government. Hence all parties in Parliament are in Government!

    Consequently, blemishes of the Government are shared by all parties. What may be debatable is whether there should be any apportionment of the blemish. There cannot be any debate on the notion that when the Government is blamed, all parties in Government are to BLAME too.

58. Let’s make history for the future children to correct our mistakes if such history proves to be wrong. Federal government should be tested in this country.

59. Eddy Banda, even if U kill yourself Malawi will live….
    For your information, muliko angati ku mpoto, U selfish idiots????
    Mukanakhala a nzeru nyumba mwamanga mu Lilongwe zija mukanamanga ku chikangawa kapena ku nyikako. So if U R failing to develop your place yourself, don’t expect a southerners to develop your home village….
    Nsanje ndi ufitidi, mukhaula agalu inu, simuzaununkha u president olo dontho, Mark my words.

    1. TO # 80, DICKSON,
       IF WE REPULSE YOU SO MUCH WHY DO YOU STILL WANT TO BE IN UNION WITH THE PEOPLE THAT YOU HATE SO MUCH? WE ARE TELLING THE SOUTHERN LEADERSHIP TO LET MY PEOPLE GO AND DETERMINE THEIR OWN DESTINEY. WHY YOU CAN’T LET THE NORTHERN REGION TO PEEL OFF FROM YOUR STUPID MALAWI? WE ARE FIGHTING FOR OUR OWN LAND NOT YOUR STUPID MUTHARIKA KINGDOM. IF IT MEANS WE HAVE TO USE THE ARMED STRUGGLE THEN LET IT BE. WE WILL FIGHT FOR NORTHERN REGION TO BE AN INDEPENDENT COUNTRY AND KEEP YOUR STUPID SOUTHERN REGION. OUR PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THE SOUTH WILL COME HOME IMMEDIATELY NYIKALAND BECOME A REPUBLIC. MAYEBUYE NYIKALAND!!!!!!!!!1

60. GO TO THE PEOPLE IN THE VILLAGES OF EACH REGION AND DO YOUR SURVEY OR RESEARCH THERE !!! DONT FOOL US WITH YOUR SURVEY DONE FROM PROPLE WHO SWIM AND SLEEP IN MILK OR FANTA

61. Let people advocating for it speak through referendum. Ngati zapweteka anena apo ayi they will say no to it. MBC stop broadcasting things which will mislead people. I was shocked just to listen to debate by a certain faith group talking lies on the TV shame on you men of God, mulungu akuwona. I could see very big sikono pakamwa kkkk.

62. Midyomba nkutaniso nanga! IQ levels too low to understand what the philosophy behind this term. They have distorted its meaning and even MBC TV is bias in its reporting. How do they sample negative respondents only? Poor journalism and lack of professionalism.

63. I thought u’ll be more wise, but alas! Ma rubbish okhaokha. How do you equate the size of one state to conclude that federalism cannot work in Malawi? Wrong fact, bro. Its not about how big or how many resources malawi has, but how equitable are those few resources shared. Because some people are greedy in the process that’s why federalism is suggested that it may help. Just tell me a country where federalism has failed, and I will tell you a country where democracy has been redefined, minority are able to rule with 37% of total votes.

64. The rep. of north ife tikhala ma donourz awo mbuli za wanthu tilipo angati muno nanga kaziko kake kakang’ono kaleka

65. Iam worried with My once beloved MCP, am worried with a party spokesperson who speaks before applying reason. Iam afraid for Chakwera because his integrity is on a line for the calibre of people like Kabwira he is associated with. Believe you me MCP has lost more members not becausese it is out of Government but because of Kabwira. Many right thinking Malawians and intellectuals were behind Chakwera as a game changer in the Malawi Political landscape. Chakwera offered a ray of hope for a different amplitude of leadership in Malawi. No right thinking MCP member would want to be associated with the nauseating educated illiteracy from Kabwira. I rest my case.

66. Let me ask tha kabwira mcp ruled for about 31 years why didn’t you bring feodolism all tha period? pp were in gvt just two years ago where were these stories? who said i hv come to stop stupid federation? is it not that stupid kamuzu? shame on you mcp, shame on kamuzu, shame on pp

67. Sizoona izi kadziko kakang’ono anthu ake kuchuluka nzeru

68. Those enjoying power now cannot accept federalism because federalism by its nature will stop them from stealing public funds. Yes, DPP and UDF cannot accept because they are one and the same party. They are experts in stealing public funds.

69. Looking some comments one sees venom to the extent that one wonders why this country should be one. My thought is that if indeed we were a family then we should have empathy. The Southerners would have been soberly examing the genesis of the problem as to why other regions are crying. But alas unsavoury comments only befitting a Satanist.

70. Let the pple debate and decide!

71. It is very shameful and disgusting that Peter mathanyula and muluzi thru his mbc are misinforming the ignorant masses about federalism.using illiterate moslem sheikhs!kuwapepusa a silamu.machend anu ndi midyomba yanuyo

72. 61,tell me the universally recommended size for a country to adopt federalism with reference attached osamanama apa

73. Mbuli zikuvuta bwanji” federal basi. Kusadziwa ndi kufa komwe

74. Change will change whoever resists this wave of change…… Check our history

75. this survey was done after parliament and MPs were not forced to respond. It is an in my views it reflects individual thinking of yhe MPS

76. Did the this news paper ask Lucius about this and if yes then tell us the truth about what he said because he already made his position known in public about federation and he is not a man who can change his mind just anyhow. Since the nation publication did not tell us about this well known fact then their survey is vague a,d questionable.

77. What needs to happen is Malawians need to be sensitized (educated) about Federalism by an unbiased entity. Only after that should any body with sense take polls/surveys. You do not ask people to vote on something they have no clue about.

78. Guys here are some facts which will show how stupid the federalism arguments is. The state of Texas is 695,621 square kilometers, Malawi is 118,000 square kilometers.

    Texas is on state out of 50 in the United States of America. Yet we who are one quarter of the size of a single state in the US of A want to split our selves into a number of states. This is even after taking into consideration that 40% of what currently runs our country as is, is not ours.

    Come on how foolish and stupid can we get. I would expect much better from a nation as intelligent as we are.

    Let us deal with the real issues of dealing severely with the Cashgaters, ensuring our country can produce more than it consumes, has a parliament which develops this nation as opposed to the status quo.

    Even if all this is achieved, our country will still not have grown. If you can’t compete now, you might as well accept that you will never lead.

    FOOLISH!!!!

    1. Not all the states in the US are the size of Texas. I can tell you that Malawi as a country is bigger than the following states in the USA combined; Rhode Island, Delaware, Connecticut, New Jersey, New Hampshire, and Vermont. In fact, when you include the state of Massachusetts to that list, the size of Malawi comes just under the size of all those combined states.

       So, to use YOUR words, it’s quite clear here that you are the one who’s thinking is very “foolish”.

    2. IUnity iis not in the oppression of others. So when unity is unattractive people opt for disunity

    3. @ The concerned citizen you must really be foolish and you dont know what you are talking about.Malawi from long ago has been in three regions and during Dr Bandas time we used to have regional ministers.Its not about the size but about equal distribution of resources….thanks

    4. AT CONCERNED CITIZEN,
       You’re a Southerner and a beneficiary of this Tribalist Mulhako dominated government. Yes, if you have slaves it will be very difficult to free them because they won’t be no more free labor. The civil war in the USA was started by this issue of slavery. The Southern States didn’t want to free slaves. The former Yoguslavia became many countries because the Serbs wanted only themselves to be the ruling tribe of Yugoslovakia. Slobadan Milosevic committed so many crimes in Kosovo in the name of keeping the Serb a ruling class. We know that the Southern region leadership speak with one voice, meaning the power must not leave the Southern region until thy kingdom come. They are prepared to go to war with anybody talking about a Federal system with strong provincial governments, rotational presidency among its three provinces, and each province to be allocated points (Electoral College just like in the USA). In for a party to win the presidency it must win 2 provinces out of 3 provinces. This federal system which has been put out there by CONGRESS OF NYIKA PEOPLE IS FAIR AND WILL UNITE ALL MALAWIANS COMPARED TO THE CURRENT UNITARY SYSTEM THAT HAS DIVIDED MALAWI INTO TRIBES AND REGIONALISM. In a Federal system all political parties will no longer belong to a certain region because the presidency will be rotated among our 3 provinces. Those who are advocating for a unitary system that has failed us for more than 50 years are just selfish individuals. Change scare a lot of people because some people will lose some privileges, and they can’t go down without fighting. Some fight to the last man and going down with many people. If Southerners want to go down with their Peter Hitler Mutharika–we welcome them. Remember, evil will prevail for a short time and goodness always prevails. We have seen how Saddam Hussein tortured his people and at the end he was defeated. His tribe have lost power and now are just criminals that cannot be trusted with power because of the last experience. What happened to Hosni Mubarack of Egypt? I want to tell you Southerners that people from the North are tired with all the “isms” laws that have been slapped with them. All we need is our own country, Republic of Nyika and to hell with all these crabs. We are ready to use the armed struggle until our land is free. WE WILL NEVER SURRENDER UNTIL OUR PEOPLE ARE FREE FROM THE BONDAGE OF SLAVERY. MAYIBUYE NYIKALAND!!!!!!!!!!

79. Mmmh Jesse izizo tadziyikeni pa pause kaye mukusakaniza nkhani bwanji?

    Takambani za eating moneygate che Jesebel,apa nkhani ndi ya MCP MP ngati mneneri tafotokozani zimenezizi izizo izi.

80. Is Chakwera’s MCP against the teaching of Kamuzu and JZU? End of MCP for sure.

81. This should be done through a referendum not mps voting in parliament! the region or regions who are advocating for this form of government should be allowed to give their opinions. it is only kabwila and chakwela who are talking sense on this issue. get your boxing gloves kabwila and sort them out. pump sense into their heads!!

82. Why are you asking MPs? They are dunderheads! What do they care? They have their MK24million , they are comfortable ,ask THE PEOPLE PLEASE!!!!!!!

83. Kabwila has told the nation here that her problem is not development, NO…but rather bitter with having president coming from south….
    This tells malawians that MCP is a party that promotes tribalism and not the other way round….
    What is wrong with MCP having a president from south? Are southerners not Malawians? What equitable distribution of development MCP is talking about?
    1. Was new parliament in Lilongwe built by Chakwera?
    2. Was Bingu international built by Chakwera?
    3. Was Kamphata road built by Chakwera?
    4. Major maintenance of M1 from LLs to Ntcheu done by chakwela?
    5. Was the presidential street upgraded by Chakwera?
    6. Was Kamuzu tombstone built by Chakwera?
    7. Is the LLs bypass being done by chakwera?????
    I really wonder if Chakwera is indeed a man of God if this man is failing to be honest with himself let alone Hie foul mouthed Kabwila….
    It’s this lack of honesty which will make God not to give U the presidency in your party.
    Remember you can not question God for his plans are not man’s plans….

    1. Stupid Dickson, were all those done with money from Mlakho? or government

    2. If that’s all you can show for all the years of being ruled by southerners, then we definitely need federalism.

84. federallism fr what?? malawi z just too small….. northeners r just hungry for power

    1. Plz do your homework on federalisim

85. Paja zinayamba comci kuti APM azapambana pacisankho a MCP ndi a PP amvekele akunama ndiye muzovatu pano.
    Ana anjoka inu simufuna kukhulupilira mpaka nkhwangwa ilimmutu anthuni munatani.
    Zomwe anena a nation newspaper mzowona ndithu zimenezo. Enafe amzathu ndiaphungu amakamba kuti sangalole za federation. Muzacita manyazi zimenezo.

86. Jessie Kabwila will destroy MCP. She is emotional and speaks before thinking through important issues. If MCP had won we would have ended up with a central region dominated government; just like it was in the 1980s when JZU was at his peak and you had to be from the central region to get a top public position.

    MCP can still win in 2019, but only if it changes its tactics as far as the southern region is concerned – MCP needs to have the same foothold in the south that DPP has in the central region. This will require incorporating more southerners in the MCP NEC and being more visible in the south, starting from now and not in 2018.

    The federalism debate is just that: A debate. It will not lead anywhere. Why? Because the south and a good proportion of the central region do not see the need for doing away with the unitary state. As a big party, MCP should be careful to pick battles it has a reasonable chance of winning.

    MCP should direct its efforts towards reviving itself in the southern region rather than jumping on the federalism bandwagon. Otherwise it will be trounced again in 2019…

87. NPL is linked to Thoko Banda, mediocre son of Northern Region. No wonder they are reporting something to appease anamathanyula

88. Pangani manyazi dpp udf. Ziko si lanu nokha yyyy only u kkkk or mwana akhozakukuongolelani.

89. Nation Newpaper & Zodiac radio are now semi- DPP organs. Remember two things; Pilirani Phiri is VP press officer & Peter carried NPL journalist to USA. Therefore they advance DPP agenda. Why dhdn’t they ask MPs why all MPs from the South reject Federalism? These two organisations must be impartial to show credibility. Foolish Nation & Zodiac.

90. It looks like Is coming to stay lets wait and see…..

91. Foseki palibe ntchimo viva development viva federalism

92. Southern Region contributes little to the economy of Malawi. Their contribution is in form of thieves and prostitutes. The centre and north cultivate tobacco and all the revenues are taken to Chiradzulu, Thyolo and Mulunje. Very little goes to Mchinji, Rumphi, Mzimba, Ntchisi, Dowa, Lilongwe and Kasungu. We in the centre and north want a federal system of government. That is it.

93. Hahaha! Jessie you want nyau to rule when it is the people from the south who won?

94. JESSIE IS NOT A NORTHENER!!! PAJA M’MATI UKUYAMBISA IZI NDI AKUMPOTO.

95. The polls have clearly shown that indeed Malawi is a Forced Loose Association of tribes not a united country no matter what one thinks therefore it is better split the country into three parts which will be almost homogeneous & manageable as Botswana. No one can claim here that we are united. Federalism is a solution to this stinking tribalism

96. I don’t know why we are wasting time debating on the prons and cons of federalism. What should be done now is simply set a voting date call for a referendum, those advocating for federalism will go out a cross the country educating the people why we need to change to federal systems in Malawi and why it is a better option to manage our resources and developments. Similarly, those against will do the same demonstrating practical evidence why the current system remains the best since it has been and is still being practiced. The people Malawi will then vote to decide which group is telling the truth and which system can work better for our country.

    Calling for debates will not take us anywhere we will just be talking and writing with not results achieved. Government is using this strategy to allow people let the steam out. And then forget it all.

    1. I can say without doubt that if a referandu was conducted today the pro federalism will lose bigtime aka 30 May 2014 results.
       I agree with you on point 2 where you say the gvt is allowing more on this debate for many of you to vent your anger and at the end of the process you will be like a sitting cabagge waiting to be plucked for a nice salad.That Will Be 2014.

97. Ife tikufuna fedeleshoni basi osati unitary ayi ng’ang’anewo. fedeleshoni kuti wawaaaaaaaaaaaa.

98. Jessie Kabwila we are waiting for you to call for resignation on all who benefitted from cashgate. Including yourself, Chakwera and Namata. Mumadya za Chiphiko inu musamukane. A Soko amagula fuel. Izi za federation asiyileni anthu oyela osati anzawo a mbava. Unkaseka Joyisi akuti walandila sanalakwe, lero zili nkhosi kuli ziiii ku kongelesi he he he he mpavuuuuuuu

99. No 21 Mr Chakhalira, bravo, bravo, bravo. You are talking civic education, and that is exactly what is needed. Our MPs and Cllrs should carry this flag and spread the word. Explain exactly to the masses, what this, so that when the masses are being asked during referendum, they have informed choices. Federalism is so needed, it will be like we are competing against each other in development. Mr Chakhalira, please Get In touch with Jessie and offer your services as an Ambassador of Federalism.

    When we go to the polls, we should ensure, Mbendela is out. No more repeat of the last polls. Thank you all

100. Kodi inu ,hule Kabwira angakuuzeni chani cha nzeru.Ndine wa central region koma kuli bwino khaniyi anene wina osati chihulechi. Chimunthu chimenechi chimandibowa bwanji ,Iwe Kabwira osaonongwe chipani chathu.

101. l support federal govt ibwere basi!!

102. How can somebody say NO to something which has not even been discussed upon to know the pros and cons.That is what we call GREED. Useless law makers.

103. Am for federalism so that my I achieve my goal of making sure that each one should work in his own region once this is passed.

104. UDF is bought, and is clinging to fat remains the DPP is throwing away. Possibly 3/4 are ignorant of how it works. The badness of ignoring school in early childhood. The anti- federalism fight hard to see Malawi suffering. They tell uneducated Malawians different lies so as to win the govt pot which have just few molecules to distribute across Malawi. During one party system the debate went through votes NOT behind closed doors with few govt pick-pockerters who are preaching Rhodesia and Nyasaland to the old ignorant. Parties with the majority of illiterate are busy fooling the innocent. This is not a parliamentary debate. UDF should know that it entered into govt first by elections which were anti-one party system. How today’s UDF officials are blinded by DPP geedy lord nobody knows!!!!

105. A MCP inu ndomadandaula? Ngati pali palo amene Bingu anawatukula kwambili ndipa chigawo chapakati kunena za stadium, hotel, pariament, misewu penapalipose. Chitukuko chokuti ngakhale anzanu aku mmwala ndi kumpoto sanachiwone. Inu mumafuna ziposele pamenepo? Anthu akudabwe anyawu ndiwovuta simunati mumina. Malo mwakuti mulithandize bomali kuthana ndimavuto andalama zaboma ma MP a MCP amabazo mukuchedwa ndi zogawanisa anthu.

106. Nthawi yoti Malawi akhale ndi utsogoleri wa fedulo sidzizasowa ngati mmene inakwanira nthawi yosintha ulamuliro wa chipani chimodzi kupita ku sipani zambiri. muyenera kudziwa kuti peyala, oranje kapena bango/mango likapysa limagwa lokha silidikira kuphopholedwa ndi ndodo

107. Ine ndine wa MCP komanso mchewa koma zomwe zkufuna Kabwila ndi chibwenzi chakecho Chakwera sindikuvomerezana nazo. Chakwera married a norther that is why akufuna kusangalatsa mkazi wake. Kabwila ndi chihule, chimbudzi cha kansolo kapena cha pa bus depot. alibe no to immoral behaviours. Achewa, apakati tisawavomereze mahule amenewa kuti tidzawathandizire zovotera federism zawozo tidzakukhaulitsani pa mavoti, mudzaluza ndi zomwe mwayambazi. Iwe Chakwera ndiwe satana chifukwa unachoka mu njira ya zakumwamba kupita ku zausatana. Dere a Chakwera ndi utumiki womwe mudasankha umenewu kuleka kutumikila Mulungu?

108. MCP chipani chotembeleledwa, mwapha anthu ambili muziko muno. MCP ikufunika yonse itengane ipite ku Nigeria kwa TB JOSHUA akayichose ziwanda. Chipanichi ndicho mangidwa ndi mizimu ya anthu amene chinapha, kupanda apo sindikuwona chipani chimenechi chikulamulilanso, chikufunika mapephelo osati amasewela. Aaaaaaaaah chifukwa mene chimalephelela modabwisa kwambili. A Chakwela chipepheleleni chipanichi kuti mwina chingasiyidwe ndi mizimu yoyipa.

109. WE DONT WANT FEDERALISM!! IT IS DIVISIVE!!

     1. What you’ve written is the height of ignorance, and your sir, are the epitome of it!

110. #15 khala chete ,chifukwa zaoneka kuti sunvetsetsa .Komanso kagwiridwe ntchito ka ndondomeko za ulamuliro sukadziwa.

111. This poll was a fallacy! What motivated the choice of the sample to be interviewed? what methodology was used? . NPL should do better than embarrassing themselves with this nonsensical poll. Federation or no federation , this country has been thrown to the dogs. It would have been better if we had remained under the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland!

112. We are now aware of the genesis of federalism debate; the wish to enjoy the national purse. Those that are against federalism shouldn’t be labelled that way. Allow a healthy debate,you foul mouthed Kabwila!!

113. fedelo yomweyo

114. As us people, MPs cannot tell you the truth tivote ndife moreover they are MPs today because of us people tidawavotera. Independents have been bought by DPP, UDF yakwatiwa kwa DPP, what do u expect from such people??? A NATION NEWSPAPER musanamize anthu Federalism is coming to stay. This is the same way munkamunamiza Joyce Banda with your opinion polls. Mulungu akukantheni, what God says, palibe angalepheretse ziagalu zaku NATION FOTSEKI!!!! Whether you like it or not, FEDERALISM WOYEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

115. Federalism is only way to shut-up thieves, who says no to federalism please go to hell with your nepotism.

116. I don’t know why people choose not to understand this fereralism. Please be informed that It is beneficial to everyone and no one will suffer. We will still have the president who will be voted by the majority ( like currently we can still have APM as president of the central government) So there will be some provincial leaders say Governers or whatever we may choose to call them. A certain percentage of the revenue generated in that province will remain there and the other portion will go to the central government. The part which remains in the province will be used there in whatever way they think is beneficial to them. The central government will come in at a national level with its funds. In this system, the provinces will decide how their resources will be used rather than having the central govt at Capital Hill deciding what should be done at Che Mbaluku. Guys who are scared with this, please note that federalism will not take power away from DPP and APM but rather it will complement their efforts.

     1. Ur right and i wish if u were given ample space to articulate this federation issue. Keep it up

     2. The biggest question is who is going to benefit from federalism? Certainly not the “North”. Why did Northerners come to Southern Region? It was not Kamuzu as some dunderheads try to argue. It was purely because government was in Zomba and not in Bolero. There were good reasons why the Zungus apart from Robert Laws thought it was ideal to have the BOMA in Zomba. THEREFORE, do not blame MCP, UDF, DPP for the under populated region. Hydro Power Stations, Railway (now the Vale one), big population, fruits (you can name are in the South) so why the fuss? As for Kabwila she is an academic in English. What the Fuck? China and other developing countries do not need english but entreprenuerial minds. I can understand this empty tin. She should concentrate on Phonetics and other stupid demands for that difficult Language. Baba O Tembo recently said “No to Federal” So what is this Woman trying to say?

117. Atifunse ife anthu. We are for Federal System. SA, Nigeria, Namibia, Botswana they are doing well because of federal system.. Akukanawa ndiouma mitu and indeed as Jessie Kabwila says they are bedding with DPP. UDF inamezedwa ndi DPP there is no more UDF inatha ngati ma curtain. Muluzi inali mbuli yowopsya kulamulira Malawi and his son Atupele ndi mbuli inanso though he went to school koma anayamwirabe umbuli wa bambo ake so what can he say??? Thats why he is jumping from one party to another. Ochewa anzanga Malawi is ONLY being ruled by southerners komwe kwagona chiwerengero chochuluka cha mbuli thats why akungoswana ngati agalu. 95% southerners have no TVs amakagona 5p.m what do you expect from such people?? In Federal System of Govt there is transparency kuba dollar ya boma kuchepa. Namathanga was given 3 year jail term because she is from south, what about Sithole from central??? 9 years. The bitch Namathanga and Sithole’s case are almost the same why not give her maximum 14 years because she was a PS and as such is supposed to protect govt resources.

118. I have always avoided to comment on this Federalism issue, but I am now forced to.
     In my view Nation News Paper which is bound by the Laws of Malawi and looking for business from the same DPP led Government can NOT tell us much truth in this issue. I believe their approach leaves a lot to be desired. I am very sure the approach they are using is the same for Village Headmen of Chiefs in the villages like ” Do you want Federalism or Not? The approach I believe should open up. If they want, they already have somewhere to start from, there is the Paper Prof. Peter Mutharika wrote on Federalism 8years ago. Tell the people that the President saw this need long time ago if Malawi’s resources would evenly be distributed and every part of Malawi enjoy development. Ask the people if the Peter Mutharika then was NOT this same one who is the Present President of Malawi? If he is, ask them what has changed his mind? Or has the Malawi he was talking about to imbless this system changed? It is in such away that the respondents’ should see the other way round than as usual business.
     secondly, there are more learned people somewhere in Malawi who can talk the truth than an MP of DPP worse still of UDF. Why not use this approach?

     Introduce to the people the other side of this issue which people have not known but would like to know. Osangoti, Inu, Mukufuna Federalism? Ayi!!!!!!!!!!!!

     1. i work ku NPL konko this guy lucky mkandawire was just asking these MPs yes or no without being critical!!! useless NPL management wants business from DPPP zonunkha basi!!!

     2. Indeed, it seems NPL is deep in business, doing good for DPP led govt

119. Mmm,mom jersey kabwira, we know the backyards of your party and you politicians your are all the same, that’s why malawians now they can’t trust any party, may 20 elections is a good example, the dpp party is in power today because of tribalism,, the majority of the population they’re lomwes, so stop painting green yourselves , we know that your red.

120. WOSAWANAMIZA ANTHU KUTI U NEED EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF RESOURCES, KUMENEKO NDIKUNAMA.NGATI MUMAFUNA FEDERALISM TIKANADWILIZANA CHISAKHO CHISANACHITIKE NOT NOW POPEZA MCP INALUZA NO WAY,CHIPANI CHIMENE CHIZALAMULIE AFTER DPP MUZACHIWUZE ZIMENEZO.SINDINE WA DPP.MCP IDIKILE 2019 WOSATI MUZINUKHA MKAMWA APA NDIKHANI ZOPUSAYI,WOSAFUNA ACHOKE BOMA SITISITHA NGATI MALAYA

121. enawo akudya thats why they are not for fedalism, then bcoz simukudya mukufuna fedalism cholinga muzidya then pali chothandiza pamenepa, mbava inu nonse mungofuna kukhutitsa mimba zanu.

122. Federalism should not to be voted by MPs , let the people talk about it freely not with the funny figures which you are putting in the papers.

123. By all development indicators the nothern region is by far the most developed region in Malawi , i hv travelled alot and my area of expert is premised on development iknw what am talking abt, the spotty structures that are considered lacking in northern region are infact being monopolised by us we the nyika people “much as the south hubs a number of universities &other institutions of higher learning this does nt translate into their people benefiting coz the lower structures that support for attainment of the same there nt there “

124. we as people from south we will not allow central and north people to work in our state thus one of maravi state costitution , we will not allow long stay , if some body from central and north wants to visit maravi state should apply for entry permitte to our consulates

     1. Ati kupusa wati.. uli chipuwa maningi. Keep quiet if you don’t know even the basics of federalism. Mwana wa njoka iwe.

     2. Iwe Zeze eti? Gal weniweni

125. What does Kabwila mean when she says those that are saying no to federalism are doing that because they are enjoying the public purse? Is that MCP’s motivation for advocating for federalism? ISn’t she getting paid from the same public purse as an MP? MCP must not therefore not lie to us by saying they want equitable distribution of resources and yet all they want is to control the public purse as per Kabwila’s confession. To hell with this federalism thingy!!

126. Who cares what those greedy MPs think anyway. Federalism/seccession will be decided via referendum so MPs can go jump into the ocean for all we care!!! Bloody pigs!

127. Kodi chomwe anthu akumwera akufuna kwa ifeyo Achewafe ndichiyani apite akalande Minda ija anawalanda azungu -KAAAAAAAAAAAAKAKA TISIYENI IFE CHEWA ZONSE TILINAZO AKAKHALA MAGESTI TIITANITSA AKUMOSHIKO TILIPHEEEEEEEEEEEEEE AKAKHALA FODYA MTEDZA TOMATO ANJI CHIMANGA NDIYE IIIIIIIIIIIIII KUTAPAKUTAYA ZONSE TAYALE AUZE AVETSETSE -zITSILI ZALOMWE

     1. SIWUKUDZIWA CHIMENE UKULAKHULA,KAVINA NYAWU

     2. Azungu sanawalande alomwe minda. History has been twisted. Unlike mitundu ina ku Malawi kuno, Alomwe pomwe amabwera kuchokera ku Mozambique anawapeza azungu atachita settle kale. Poti iwo amafuna malo azungu anawalola kukhala mumaesiteti awo at a fee. Koma poti analibe ndalama zolipira, azungu anawalola aLomwewo kuti nthawi ina yake azikagwira ntchito ku ma estate awo ngati malipiro a rent just like Feudalism in Medieval Europe where land was held in exchange of service or labour. In the Lomwe scenario, the azungus were Lords and Lomwes the Serfs . Tsono bambo Booth atamuphunzitsa Chilembwe pomupititsa ku America, Chilembwe atabwera amvekere iyi ndi Thangata. Ife tinamutenga Chilembwe ngati amafayitira a Malawi onse pomwe iye amafayitira mtundu wake wa alomwe mumaesiteti. History has to be rewritten to avoid being fed crap further.

128. True Jessie true, the east and the south know that they are benefiting from the squandered money and are fearing a healthy open debate on federalism, its like 2/3 of mps less 3 claimed to support the third term issue, musatipusitse apa, federalism is coming to stay

129. Bvuuto lalakukulu nkusavesa if an MP is failing to understand the term federal what do you expect? Malawi yovetsa chisoni let us try chiaanika tizachisiya zinazo zakanika 50years sipano

130. its interesting that the central and north want federalism because they want nothing to do with each other…. what a bed of bitter foes… zanu izo

131. The MPs cannot decide whether Malawi has to be a Federal State or Unitary because we know they are corrupt to the last bone. Each province must decide whether they want Federalism or Secession. These are two questions that people of Malawi must decide. I speak on behalf of Nyika people that we’re tired of being taken for a ride, and we are ready to take arms to emancipate ourselves from the bondage of slavery and many other “isms” we suffer in the hands of this tribalist and Mulhako dominated government. Nyika people will only enter into a Federal system that has strong provincial governments, rotational presidency among our three provinces, and point system (Electoral College—USA). History of Malawi has taught us that once you leave the loophole for the politicians—they will manipulate it for their own benefit. Those who are refusing Federalism want Malawi to go in flames because in their thick empty skulls think Nyika people will never ever pick up arms to free their Motherland, Republic of Nyika. What kind of a country where the children of other province has to slapped with quota system in education? What kind of a country where a province which is part of the union is left undeveloped because of hatred towards the population of that province. There are so many questions Nyika people will ask what kind of a country where they are being slapped with so many “isms” laws? We’re not begging law makers to vote for federalism but refusal to Federalism which I described above leave Nyika people with no choice but SECESSION. South Sudan tried to talk to Al Bashir for Federalism and rotational presidency between the South and North, but he refused. At the end they opted for the armed struggle and they won. Do the Southerners want Malawi to go in flames because under Unitary system they enjoy all the benefits on the expenses of other provinces? To tell us Malawi is too small and is not fit for Federalism is completely nonsense. You must let Nyika people go to determine their own destiney. For the past 50 years this Unitary system has not worked for Malawi, but it has promoted tribalism, regionalism, police state, ethnic cleansing, and many other “isms.” We’re not begging you—we’re telling you that your selfish actions will destroy Malawi. I call upon Nyika people to prepare for the war because in Malawi we have Peter Hitler Mutharika and his Mulhako people that want to dominate others. Federalism or secession must happen by next year. If the Mulhako dominated government the only language they understand is war—then we will give it to them. We the people of Nyika our fight is justified because this yoke of oppression has reached a point where we can’t take it any more. VIVA NYIKA PEOPLE! MAY THIS STRUGGLE CONTINUE UNTIL OUR FINAL VICTORY! MAYIBUYE NYIKALAND!!!!!

132. Only a secret ballot can show who’s for and who’s not. Those on the govt side can not say “YES” on an issue like this openly for fear of being chopped out of their various posts and positions given to them. Remember during Bakili’s third term proposition, most of the MPs from the govt side said yes to third term for fear of the above but when time came for casting their secret ballot,they said NO.Besides Southern region has more constituencies as compared to the North and Central and would like to continue exploiting the other two regions. If NO to federalism, then secession is the best option unless these fools learn how to share developments uniformly. You kleptoparasites.

133. MCP IS FALLIBNG AWAY FROM NGODYA ZINAYI ZOMWE NDI LOYALTY, UNITY, OBEDIENCE AND DISCIPLINE. KABWILA NDI UHULE AKUCHITA WA MUZUNGUZA MUTU. BWANJI NTHAWI YA KAMPENI SANANENEPO ZOTI AKADZAWINA ADZABWELETSA FEDRLIS. IS SHE DOING IN GOOD FAITH?

134. MCP MCP yabwira dothiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

135. Mukutichedwetsa, tikufuna fedralism, ngati mupitilize kukana, tigawanapo kadzikoka. Alomwe ndi AChawa ndinyatsi zakuba, ulesi kufuna zaulele basi.

136. Having come to the conclusion that MCP will NEVER make into government their position on the federation issue becomes a lot clearer! because federation solves MCP’s problem of seeing themselves unable to get into ‘boma’ in the foreseeable future. For others it is not enough to just say No to federation, it must be supplemented by a call for running a unitary govt based on truly unitary principles!

     1. AVOMELEZE AMENEWA KUTI MAVOTE AWO SANAKWANE KUTI ANGALAMULILE MALAWI,BANJA LIKATHA SAMAGUMULA NYUMBA KAPENA KUTUKWANA ANTHU PAMUDZI,NGATI MA MPs AKUKANA FEDERALISM SIKUTI AKULAKWAYI KOMA PALIBE ANGALOLE KULAMULIDWA NDIWAPANJA, CAN U?

137. Iwe jessie wayiona olo titapita kukavota that will be the trend of events,iwetu ikukupweteka ndi ngongole unatenga ija for campagn with the mind that MCP will be in government stupid harlot ukhala choncho azingokuwata chakwerayo basi

138. Mwawerenga nokha ndisamve wina akuti fwifwifwi a tumbuka ndiamene akulimbikitsa federal system.Zana mwamva leader of UDF in parliament.
