Weak controls over Malawi’s banking system and delays in prosecuting cases when money-laundering has been discovered are allowing foreign companies,...
this will be meaningless if the institutions to enforce it remain powerless and having him as appointing authority.
I THINK KALONGA SHOULD HAVE STARTED WITH REMOVING IMMUNITY OF PARLIAMENT, SPEAKER & MPs first. If it is ok then move to the President
Immunity yo musaichotse pano iyayi…nane mundidikire kuti ndidzakhale president, ndidzidzangotenga ndalama ndikuponya ku ma account anga amene ndikufuna popanda ondifunsa. Inu, mwatani kodi?
Its not that there are lack of laws to deal with those that commit crime whether by ordinary citizens, politicians or head of state. Under the current laws, if the head of state is found wanting and has committed any crime, an impeachment process can take effect. The problem with Malawi is the implementation of existing laws. We have a law enforcement agencies that are completely useless and captured. No one would dare risk their livelihood by reporting crime committed by a powerful politician. No one within DPP would move a motion of “no confidence” on their president even if… Read more »
Malawians we are too respectiful or rather worship ‘our presidents’. Why should they be above the law? This endeed acts as a licence to commit crimes, hence the need of this law. They must face prosecution as any citizen. Kudos Willet & may the house support the motion
That is what is developing all nation . A sitting president should not tasa thinking people will forget about his corrupt act. We need to strip every president from immunity even in every case. Previously, Malawians have been abused due to this immunity issues. Remember the govt. without justice is just a bunch of robbers (Philosopher Augustine) and that people have rights to overthrow abusive government (Philosopher St. Thomas of Aquinas)
Uku ndiye kuganiza kwa ana. There is already an impeachment provision to deal with the concern of these babies. Malawians, let us stop designing laws that target an individual. We are having problems today with presidential age limit because we designed a law that suited the over aged Kamuzu that time. No one is above the law is a very lawful provision indeed. I find the move by Kalonga very hypocritical. Is he aware that paying taxes including paying duty is a law passed by the legislature? Is he aware that any group not paying taxes is being placed above… Read more »
Heey boss you sound too much pro DPP in your arguments. All the article is saying is that for along time now not only with te current government but from UDF time when this provision effectively used,we have allowed people that we vote into power to mass obscene wealth that is very conspicuous if the massions they build,posh cars they drive and the standard of live they have is anything to bank on.This is very bad and extremely unacceptable regardless of whether the President is your cousin or not.Legislators too must indeed be responsible and be prosecuted by the arm… Read more »
This is to all the MPs. Time has come to show your mother, mother Malawi, how patriotic are you. You all very well know of the current situation of our country, so be brave and show your pride to be a true Malawian and help move this motion. Hats off to honorable Willet Karonga. If one can do it why not others. May GOD help you all with the right decision. GOD bless Malawi
They don’t even have to change the constitution to impeach the president if he is found wanting. The question is who would move the motion of “no confidence” in the president. The challenge is that we Malawians are just anthu a mantha. Why waste time changing laws when the current laws are enough to get rid of a criminal president.
This was long overdue. Presidents are elected by the mass citizens and hence an employee of the citizens, yet they behave like a god to the 17m people and live lavishly yet poor mass are suffering to meet even the basic needs on day to day basis. Presidents when sworn in take oaths to serve the same citizens as national leader and to provide them with the basic needs under UNIVERSAL SERVICE OBLIGATIONS to which every citizen has a right, as every nation under UN is obliged to provide USO ( affordable food, water, healthcare, education and ict). But here… Read more »
Why should the head of state be above the law ?
