Let this bill be translated into different languages so that ordinary Malawians understand it because as it is, the majority of those who use customary land cannot follow the discussions in English. Mutharika should not endorse the bill until it has been discussed with ordinary pipo.

The only hope now is for APM to stop this b/s law at his desk. Right there. Where I live, right here in Malawi, the mutual understanding is that the communal land belongs to the broader family; not one person in the family. So, Muluzi, in his “wosakhwima” (lack of significant native experience) posture, is trying to convert communal property to personal property? For ever? Because, once an individual registers a piece of land, it probably cannot revert to communal the domain. End result: there will be many landless Malawians.

Intellectual bankruptcy at its best in DPP. These guys have no respect for Malawians at all. I am not sure if chief Ngongoliwa was consulted on this. All they think is that can make the best decisions on behalf of the Malawians, not knowing they are making the worst decisions. Remember the Chiphwisi Law, The change of Malawi flag and many more laws that were nullified after change of government. Why don’t they learn from the previous mistakes? I can see empty tins making lots of noises here.
I am sorry for the DDP.
