Mutharika gets applauds from Malawi paper on delegating Muluzi
President Peter Mutharika has been commended by Malawi newspaper giant, Nation Publications Limited through its Sunday title for delegating former president Bakili Muluzi to represent him at the 50th independence celebrations of Zambia in Lusaka, calling it “a step in the right direction.”
The Nation on Sunday in an editorial comment noted that Malawi has witnessed a lot of squabbling between incumbent presidents and their predecessors, citing the most recent protracted discord being between Muluzi and his successor the late Bingu wa Mutharika, a brother to the incumbent president.
The paper pointed out that while such fights are mostly seen as involving two incompatible leaders, they impact negatively on the whole nation “which loses out on the vital services and wisdom that retired leaders are capable of offering the country.”
The editorial comment lauded Mutharika’s gesture to delegate Muluzi saying “ it heralds a new governance chapter that we have missed and yearned for so long.”
Reads the editorial, in part: “The gesture not only sends a good message that we can, as a country, look back and take pride in our statesmen, but also accord the office of the former president the respect and dignity it deserves.”
The paper said it hopes Mutharika will extend a similar gesture to the recently retired president Joyce Banda, who it said is another vital resource; and that she will take the offer.
“After all, Muluzi and Banda are public figures, with their names on government’s payroll, receiving taxpayer funded benefits; hence, the need for the Malawian taxpayer to reap all the benefits possible from such personalities,” said the editorial.

Mutharika want to teach malawians how former presidents are respected for the better of our country
i smell peace in malawi.plz extend such generosities to JZU
A Nation Publications, are you sure this is the right thing to aplaude the President for when the State Vice President Right Honourable Saulos Chilima is there to be delegated to such functions?
Ha ha ha. Its nice to be a president in Malawi. You are paid hefty on retirement apart from kusolola money. Its like thanking them for kusolola, “yah you are smart boss, the hefty salary is just your pocket money. and we are dropping the fraud/corruption case and given back your fleet of cars.” Salute!
Who will take Malawi seriously if the citizens themselves are contented with what is going on. Malawians hate those who fight fraud and corruption, they call it tribalism. You talk change such as looking into Federalism they are scared to death sighting that Kamuzu broke the stupid federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, they feel they are going back that root. Come on there is no more Rhodesia, there are the nations of Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Nyasaland is the nation of Malawi.
Malawi ministers travel to countries where federalism is being used to run their great nations, but they call it tribalism and lie to our chiefs as such.
Zambia is by all means doing its best to fight fraud and corruption. Their economy is thriving. The same Nyika game reserve that we share is a wow. On Malawi side, the great achievement was chasing phokas out, I inclusive. Don’t undermine Zambians. Sending Muluzi there on the 50 years celebration is a mockery.
Malawians in general should disassociate themselves. Its kinder garden play by the two.
At last a leader who can share the big stage with others. This is the way forward.

Nice applause
The President is doing good job indeed on several matters
A Pita omwewo
bwana ziribwino ndithu uko ndiye kukhala ndi maganizo akuya
This is really a good step if we are to use the wisdom of retired presidents’. But the worry would be how the VP feel if he is not aware of such delegation as he is the right person to go on behalf of the state president. Lets not forget the current relationship between Malawi and Zambia. I rest my case.
Weldone mr presdent!
Nation News Paper is absolutely right to applaud Mutharika.
Mutharika is doing a wonderful job
Tanyadira kamba koyamikira bwana Mutharika

Cheers

APM is indeed doing a great job and must be applauded
Kuli…. ziiii! amvundula madzi olo kuchita komenti. Ndiye kuti mumangodzifunira zoipa zokhazokha ndiye mungamazilimbikitse?
Its just because we are buffled by Mutharika not realising that Muluzi is a paython coiling to swallow him alive. You think Muluzi has forgotten the humiliation he suffered under Bingu? You must be crazy to think Muluzi can just be generous for nothing.
