APM says he ‘will strive to reduce public expenditure’ and then he gives himself an 80% salary increase! Who is this man kidding? No one in their right mind would ever entertain investing in Malawi. There is no viable infrastructure, corruption is rife, strikes are commonplace, transport is a total mess, fuel is expensive, etc. etc. What APM knows about economics and financial management could be written on the back of a postage stamp with room to spare. The man is a fool. His only interest is in self-enrichment.

What authority has booklet really got? Is this a national policy or another DPP manifesto translation? Until Malawi establishes a long term economic strategy all these workshop outputs will be nursery rhymes “Incey Wincy Spider…”

Let’s all support the this move. Min. of Finance and Dept of Immigration, do not allow foreigners who come into the country to establish shops and hawkers to import goods for sell, externalizing our finances, instead allow only manufacturers. miners and agricultural producers to invest here. City councils, Malawi Housing Corporation and Dept of Lands, stop selling land in favour of foreigners.

What makes you think that just because you have a book the investors will come. Mr president you forgot to address the most important facets that attract investors to any country. Particularly a poor country like ours. For argument’s sake let me ask you this, Why would an investor choose to locate in Malawi as opposed to lets say Mozambique, or Zambia? Or better yet India? If you are seriously considering to attract investors to our country you need to be serious in a number of areas. (a) Security, security,security. Currently no investor can feel safe.

Those who have studied the dynamics of Foriegn Direct Investment will understand that Matako has outlined drivers that attract FDI. In addition to what Matako has said, the issues of kickback or kickforwards demanded by govt officials including Ministers, the bureaucracies, the leaking buckets (MK92B) and many others have a bearing on how we are perceived as an investment destination. You will notice that the kind of investors that we attract are the crooks who use the lack of patriotism of the state officials to reap off the nation. One examlpe is the mining investors which I believe has made… Read more »
