zaka 31 zikwana tili mu democracy koma kumbali ya chitukuko sizinayende, chabwino chomwe chabwera ndi ufulu wamalankhulidwe basi. Democracy yabweletsa umphwawi pa anthu.

Please forgive me if I refrain from contributing to the discourse of negativity. We have an obvious problem and an obvious solution. Under the present dispensation, constituencies send MPs to Parliament to represent the interests of their parties, not the interests of the constituents who elected them.

Others compare them to organized crime syndicates that control so much of the national wealth and power that they have managed to buy or intimidate the organizations tasked with monitoring and controlling them and keeping them honest.

This lady was one of the most fierce and fearless critics of govt’s underperformance. . . . . . . . but what did they do to her? she was being watched!
