Foolish politicians always find a way to divide and rule and this is why it easy for those with empty heads to stoke rebellion by dividing people on tribal and regional lines and sometimes through religion. It is even a bigger tragedy to elevate one tribe as superior to others or one region to be superior than the other through allocation of resources and development projects. This is what causing major challenges in Kenya, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Sudan, South Africa etc. Civil wars are just inches away due to foolishness of politicians who flourish on divide and rule. Malawi should never… Read more »

Kenya is has registered some good development because of federal system of government. Those opposing this system of government are selfish and greedy.

PRESIDENT OF PEOPLE FOR DEMOCRATIC MOVEMENT IN MAL

PMFD was the first political organization in exile cried for FEDERALISM after seeing Bingu The Killer Wa Mutharika was unleashing terror on the Northerners. He slaughtered our brothers and sisters in Mzuzu like dogs. Malawi has three provinces and not more than that. Peter Hitler Mutharika wants to add more provinces to benefit his Southern region people by looting other provinces. Northern region will remain as one province undivided by our OPPRESSORS in the Southern region. We the sons and daughters of our motherland, Republic of Nyikaland will fight to the last drop of our blood. We are tired of… Read more »

Even in a federation, national funds will NOT be shared equally, never. They will be shared proportionally, based on population of the entity, like the district.
Federations will only get those in power closer to the money, so they can steal it; even easier than now. Federation or not, we all need to get rid of corruption, and the mentality of some acceptance of it. This is a long haul project.
Even in a Federation, some districts will complain of others being favored!

Good l propose the following:
Every one should work in his region
Employment in civil service should be done by councils and each council should employ people from the district where the council is
Capital hill should cease to exist instead we should have regional offices
This should even affect NGOs
Before that we demand census in civil service to know which region is dominating and why

This woman Agnes is useless. She is not doing any development in our area. The roads are not good. We enjoyed development when Dad Goodal Gondwe was a member of parliament even Inkosi Mtwalo knows it. What she is talking is rubbish . You are not going to win any seat, stay there is Zomba. By the way are you going to move from Zomba when Federalism takes place. Most of us we have settled in the Southern region including Kalua himself. Think before you speak. This is the reason young men like Kalua cannot be trusted to rule the… Read more »

It puzzles me when people think the Southern region has had the lion’s share of the national cake since independence but the reality on the ground is quite contrary. Lilongwe and the rest of central and northern regions were all bush before 1964 but big cities and towns have developed surpassing those in the South but they still think that’s not enough. While Zomba, Balaka, Thyolo, Nsanje and Mulanje once pre-independence big towns have stagnated, Lilongwe, Mzuzu, Kasungu, Kalonga, Salima and Dedza are registering tremendous growth even during the last 24 years the southerners have ruled the country.

Some of the mentioned towns are developing because of the efforts of the private sector as well efforts of the local people in the towns concerned. Such developments are being implemented without government funding. Balaka and Nsanje have indeed stagnated. It started with the privatisation of the Malawi Railways Ltd. Thyolo is changing. Recently, it opened its doors to a new college after the Science and Technology University at Ndata. A multbillion dollar stadium for Thyolo is in the pipeline. Mulanje has stagnated but is to blame because Chitakale is slowly but gradually swallowing development activities that are turning it… Read more »

This is the only way to go. Let all the thieves in the likes of Ben Phiri, Nankhumwa ,Chaponda among others rule their own people.Public appointments are going to the people from Lhomwe belt,this is so unfair. The quota system should be abolished

federalism won’t solve tribalism and regionalism problem. It won’t solve quota system either. We should just abolish tribalism and regionalism and we have to come up with smart ways of ridding Malawi of regionalism, tribalism and looking at Malawians on religious lines.
