Well analyzed by Kent K.G. Mphepo. An important fact that bothers me is the existence of recycled politicians. They are the ones who don’t want to change things. A closer look reveals that Bakili Muluzi inherited the secrecy from MCP. And Muluzi’s team was comprised of MCP dissidents. It was just an old habit very difficult to die. The passing of ATI law should call for celebrations to patriotic malawians. Ironically, the president preaches patriotism and yet he warned he would veto the bill for reasons known to him and his midnight six team. Sometimes, it’s really hard to believe… Read more »

‘Now all government information will be up for grabs to anyone interested, unless the State “proves” that the information has to remain classified or that relates to national security includes that on military strategy”
Who is this state that will be responsible for proving that the information is classified? Is there a criteria used to classify information?

Can some one please give us clue on this?

Countrymen, nothing sounds more pleasing than hearing that this long-awaited bill has finally passed the first stage. Let me repeat, “the first stage”. In my view, creating an open society, that this bill promises, is a very critical step in the process of “deepening” democracy in Malawi. I feel that I do not need to remind Malawians that Government sits on three key cornerstones namely: the Executive (President, Cabinet & the Civil Service); the Judiciary (the Chief Justice and our courts) and the Legislature (Speaker and our MPs). These are supposed to check each other as they run government affairs.… Read more »

Your honour, Pastor Malison Ndau, if you are not careful enough with the dpp crooks, you will finish like curtains. Remember if you happen to finish like that, we will not allow you to come back on the pulpit. Mukakhala ku “NAUDZU” ODALA. kkkkkkk.
