Minister Msaka booed at KCN during live debate on Zodiak TV
Minister of Education, Science and Technology Bright Msaka on Wednesday night drew boos at a SDG Question Time debate at Kamuzu College of Nursing (KCN) in Lilongwe when he DPP-led government has improved funding university students fee loans.
Msaka, who is also Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) vice-president for Eastern Region, was taking part to during the second debate on SDG Question Time by Nation Publications Limited (NPL), Zodiak Broadcasting Station (ZBS) and United Nations Malawi focusing on education which featured all the major parties ahead of the May 21 elections.
But his remarks to defend the DPP-led government record in improving university education and funding drew groans and boos from the audience.
The audience at KCN has a large contingent of university students but host Teresa Ndanga had to save the Msaka’s face when she reprimanded the audience.
“There is no booing. We should listen to our panellists,” said Ndanga who compensated Msaka 15 seconds lost during the booing time.
During the debate, Msaka defended the DPP record on education.
“We are providing laboratories and libraries at every secondary school. We are providing boarding facility for every girl child in secondary school,” said Msaka.
Msaka also said DPP has employed 20000 teachers during its tenure and increased intake in Teacher College.
The minister also said the government is moving all persons with albinism in Community Day Secondary Schools to boarding secondary schools to offer more protection
But main opposition Malawi Congress Party (MCP) Shadow Minister for Education, Elias Chakwera, dismissed performance of the ruling party in education as awful.
Zimenezo ndizaukape
Hheheehehehheheh, DPP woyeeee anthu ovota ndi omwewa akukukuwaniwa. Kaya ndili Ine vote yanga pa opposition chongu zanga pheeeeeeee
Typical opposition, Mr Elias Chakwera was not supposed to waste his minutes by dismissing what the minister had said. He was supposed to tell the nation in answering to the question that was asked. Kumangototela kutsutsa baasi.
akamazi ena ndiamenewa in three months time out all these from DPP and new government led by the most energetic and charismatic leader who will swap the mess out of the warm heart of Africa, zintu ziziteka Braza ma business atu ayambe Ku shaina tibwelelemo basi by saulosi chilima, know doubt you inspire me most voti yanga ndiyokwanila kuti uwine ziteka
Msaka and his quota system
DPP must rig the coming elections to win.
Thanks for the tip
DO you guys read the opinion polls?
It was wrong in the first place to have the debate on education at KCN which was closed for some months, following issues that students and lecturers have had for months! And the audience being largely KCN students!!!!!
MSAKA did a great job in the the circumstances.
We’re you watching the same debate as everyone else? Msaka was lying through his teeth that is why he was booed!
Anyasatimes tsopano! Mukamakhala mumati mwatilembela nkhani, kunena imenyi!
ngati sinkhani wawerengeranji?
…….just because Msaka was booed, huuu???
Yes
