All the three arms of govt are equal. This is true because when the President enters into Parliament everyone including leader of opposition stands up to pay special respect to the president. They are equal because after deliberating their bills they will at the end seek the signature of the president who has a right to consent or not to. The arms are indeed equal that’s why it is only the president who opens Parliament and not speaker or leader of opposition. To show that Parliament is equal to executive there is this arrangement that the speech in parliament is… Read more »

Mr Mande, are you sure that you noted down the title of the President’s speech correctly? ‘Rising above Macroeconomic Stability’ makes no sense. ‘Macroeconomic stability’ describes a national economy that has minimized its vulnerability to external threats, thus improving its prospects of sustained growth. It is an essential precondition for economic growth because it protects the national economy from currency fluctuations, large debt burdens, and mismanaged inflation, all of which can cause economic crises and the collapse of the Gross Domestic Product. The foregoing does not describe our national economy. ‘Macroeconomic stability’ is measured by five variables: 1. Low and… Read more »

Dear Mr Mande,
Please accept my apology. Since writing the above comment, I have seen and read the President’s complete statement. It does indeed claim that we have achieved macroeconomic stability, and that we about to become better than merely stable. In relation to the variables listed above, I guess this means that in the near future, we can expect to enjoy zero inflation, zero interest rates, zero national debt, zero deficits, and currency appreciation.

Now that’s what I call ‘dreaming in color’!

The government has three arms, the executive, judiciary and legislature. And each has its own roles which are complementary to each other for purpose of good governance. In countries where there is true democracy, none of the three is supreme or more powerful than the other, and a good example is what recently happened in Kenya whereby the judiciary made a board verdict to reverse the outcome of the presidential election or in other countries a president being impeached etc. This just signifies that none of the three is more powerful than the other. What is important is that each… Read more »

Professor Peter Mutharika passionately intellectually believes (like most people from LOMWE Belt) he is the most (only one) who has got the best education and the ability to lead this country (ati ngati ukupsya wauwisi). Remember, just a couple of days ago the president was it again denigrading Chakwera of having little or fake education (unancreditted certificates) to lead the country. As if prestigious academic achievements automatically equates to high work performance. Really?? In this age and era? Guys any honest person who is really truly well-educated and travelled should realise that this is NOT TRUE! In fact it’s a… Read more »

The government is not bigger than parliament either. The stupid people representing both institutions were employed on a five year contract by Malawians the same day. Unfortunately as stupid and inhuman as they are, they will come in 18 month’s time to ask for a renewal of contract. They will be telling us how good they have done on their jobs instead of us telling them how sleeping they were on their jobs.
