I stopped being result oriented in serving this Govt. How hard one can dedicate him/herself, promotion goes to mulhako. Let Mulhako do the work as see if they can develop this country without effort from others. On what the President said about being optimistic, it is true that the ability to achieve greater goals is founded on a more positive mindset. However, mindset gets eroded if some people get engaged in corruption and the leadership just washes helplessly. By the way, thumbs up for the Commission of enquiry into maize scam. Why cant we do the same with the 7… Read more »

I don’t believe any of the figures APM presented. The fact is no power – no growth The lake is not filling up, the earliest coal power station will be in operation in 4-5 years time. The moz interconnect is 2 years away. Generating power form diesel makes no economic sense with the immenent massive rise in fuel prices. Solar is coming but there will be massive problems connecting to the grid as it will not synchronize to the hydroelectric stations which frequency is not constant, lots of corruption on the solar deals happening thereby pushing the costs up to… Read more »

Where did we get this man who keeps on giving Malawians buffoonish speeches that lack substance and hope? Oh! I forgot, he is a non-decorated lecturer of law from Washington university ,St.Louis,Missouri.But why does he give economic projections that are not realistic? Probably it’s out of malice because his heart doesn’t care for Malawians. His actions prove that he takes Malawians for granted and he is self-centered. With prevailing insurmountable conditions in the economic horizon, it makes no sense to give foolish hope to Malawians while at the same time you are in denial of parameters that attribute to Malawi’s… Read more »

The message is vague and reactive. It has no performance substance. It has no performance targets which can inspire hope in Malawians. Stop punishing Malawians with heavy tax burden and poor service delivery. Stop useless nepotism, tribalism, favouritism and selectiveness when dealing with corruption. Substandard things are not needed anymore in Malawi. To preside over a bunch of failures is a worst sin a sitting president can do to his people. Malawians will hit back on 2019.
