Leave Bakili Muluzi alone after all he fought for democracy in Malawi that u are playing with along side his coligues. Lets learn the culture of appreciation when somebody has contributed in unique subjects of this nature. I like Dr Bakili Muluzi. Never shall we get a kind President like him.
Having opposition parties in any country is fantastic bcoz they correct
the governing body. Therefore respecting our elders like Bakili Muluzi is good.
(Akulu akulu ndi mdambo mozimila motooooo!!!)
From wanting a third term in office to praising Concourt for serving justice in Malawi. Am I missing something else about this crook of a thieving and corrupt bastard?
So let you Muluzi keep the billions you stole and move on? Are you alright in your confused head?
Pay back the billions. That’s what we want b
BM Bwana please shut up and remain quite otherwise the young politicians will investigate your crimes and make you pay. You are too much in the limelight. The millions you stole will land you in prison. So quite Bwana I suggest you hide away for you are the architect of corruption.
I have no respect for Muluzi..anapha chipani changa…UDF .Anagulitsa Eastern region pa mtengo wozizira. Lero Eastern region ilibe political Identity because of this man and his son.
Bakili Muluzi, keep quite. None apart from your son and your friend Mutharika listens to you. How can you praise the court judgement when you were busy trying to bribe HRDC members to stop demonstrating against MEC criminality in last year elections. You wanted Mutharika to continue oppressing us so long you are busy wasting MK1.7 billion you stole from us. Useless man in this country.
This is the one who was pushing to change constitution for third term
You and your son are two faced, you can’t be trusted
Despite all his Blunders Muluzi Never Sacrificed National Unity …Was willing to Work with Everyone….His Greatest Blunder was to Pick Someone Who Never Understood What National Unity Means ….Those who went to College During his Time had to Sit for Entrance Exams …at least the Man knew what Merit Means ….It’s Our Time to Correct the Mess that those who Came before Us Made …We can’t keep Throwing Stones at him Forever….By Now he Knows what Malawi Means …
Very interesting indeed
Yes Mr. Muluzi you are right it is really a democracy breakthrough. It also means the uprooting of the seedlings of corruption, stealing regionalism and family dynasties which you planted. How do you feel to see your plans and dreams shattered before you while you watch helplessly.
