Mwanamvekha takes begging bowl to donors for Malawi fresh elections
Minister of Finance, Economic Planning and Development Joseph Mwanamvekha says the government has already talked to donors to finance part of the K32.1 billion Constitutional Court sanctioned fresh presidential election.
Speaking in parliament on Friday when he presented the K1.8 trillion expenditure mid year budget, Mwanamvekha said the donors have agreed to finance part of the budget.
He did not name the donors.
He said it will be difficult for the government to finance the fresh elections alone.
“Either government should borrow or cut some significant budget lines,” he said, adding cutting the budget line would affect critical services in health and education.
Malawi Electoral Commission proposed K 32. 8 Billion for the Fresh Elections but Mwanamveka says the government will provide K 29.1 billion for the election.
“Government is still discussing with development partners for financing of the difference and possinle run-of elections,” said Mwanamvekha.
The country’s purse keeper said it will be “extremely difficult” for government to finance fresh elections due to the fiscal pressures that have been highlighted above.
“Should we not get positive response from the donors, government will have no option but to either increase borrowing or drastically cut expenditure which will likely affect service delivery in alls ectors,” he said.
Mwanamvekha also said the increase in expenditure from K1.7 trillion to K1.8 trillion is throughto civil service salary budget increase, maize purchase which has been budgeted at K10 billion, election case costs and high security costs, among others.

Mark my words some organisations that value democracy will help. But will Mwananvekha really send an SOS, knowing DPP will do anything to frustrate any ideas bordering on another election.
There wouldn’t be need to beg if there wasn’t so much thieving of government resources.
Malawi is a rich country but Malawian policymakers are mentally intellectually bankrupt. The more “educated ” we claim to be the morally bankrupt we become. Our thinking is lopsided.
Woe to you who try to frustrate the wishes of Malawians by deliberately saying there no money to fund the fresh elections while every minute you syphon every tambala from Government Account No.1 into your personal pockets sit, eat and shit while the owners, Malawians,are in deep shit. Be ashamed of yourselves.
Mr Mwanawamveka, don’t bullshit me with your gimmick. That trick will not work bwana. Not here not now. You think I don’t know that when you were at the Reserve Bank you and Bingu facilitated the funding of Mulhakho wa Alomwe? Do the same for the national interest. Don’t fuck us up any more than you have done you people.
Let’s make those who rigged the elections pay! Why should donors or even Malawians have to pay? Let the riggers pay. And let’s have ACB carry out a through investigation of who rigging was carried out and report to the nation all its findings
Donors are ready to help finance the fresh election as long as electoral reforms are done.
Mr Minister, how much of the mkw 32 billion for Tipp-ex?

Honarable, please translate this in simple language if it is a parable
Israel voted in April 2019 and resulted into hung parliament of which they failed to electe prime minister…. So they dissolved parliament and voted again in September 2019 and produced another hung parliament of which they are failing to elect prime minister.
Nowhere is their finance minister borrowing or begging to hold another election. Yet they plan to do again
But Malawi just one nullification and we are begging. So how are we going to finance run off especially with 50+1 which some think is law others not.
Unfortunately we are not Israel. We have not this spirit of patriotism, nor the attitude of hardworking and nowhere integrity! The Nation is first and not the individual leaders or Parties!
The biblical values are hold high there, not this hypocrisy our leaders are proclaiming!
We as Malawi would not survive one day in an hostile environment they live.
Agricultural wise, the Israelis are jealous with our big water resources, but still they are light years ahead in output and productivity!
Israel is a DEVELOPED country for goodness sake. Umbuli wochitsa manyazitu uwu. Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world.
all the more to live within our means.
congradulation our own Minister of finance for the job well done. you have proved that others were telling us lies to say the fresh election will cost mk49billion and you said it is mk32billion. the difference of mk17billion
We will manage the fresh election no matter what Malawi is not poor but others tried to make it poorer what a shame
many donors are happy with the court ruling and they will sponsor us
How do you discuss a possibility of runoff elections with donors when you are the ones who shot it down. You are indeed idiots
Serious what is the minister thinking!!! My Malawi🙆🙆🙆
First call for Mwannamvehka should be to the Muluzi and Mutharika families to return the millions of dollars which they have made out of corrupt deals. Then all those Indian traders whom their corrupt governments have enriched and made millionaires with millions hidden away in Dubai banks and properties in UK.
There are serious problems out there. Brexit, Corona virus etc nobody got time for a bunch of Africans fighting for one of the poorest countries in the world. It hurts but it’s true.
The donors should contribute not even one tambala to the new election. Malawians themselves buggered up the last one, and if the same incompetent MEC commissioners organise the next one then it too will suffer the same fate.
DPP cultivating a good environment for a coup.
Seriously! I am smelling something serious cooking too! Awonjeza kutitengera kuntoso.
Only losers can think about that. Because they can’t win through the ballot.
The concourt don’t understand this nation has been broke since collapse of the soviet Union. Big chunk of Money which used to be sent to Africa by Western nations is now sent to former soviet Republics as military aid. The soviet Union had its benefits afterall although it also had its problems.
This nation has budget deficits public debt is k3. 3 trillion kwacha which is more than double the annual budget. I laughed when judges says we have money to run elections because they are ignorant on the money issues like fiscal and monetary policy.
Do you know how many billions your cadets team of thieves steal every year, 32 billion it’s nothing
We Only don’t have money when IT suits You ….Mafuta ankhaninkhani anatobedwa ku Escom example ….Straight forward koma yinatopondelezedwa ….Ndalama Ziromo Muno….Ma Carbon Tax,epassport nanga zizingopita matumba a ….
