Let’s make this PAC Indaba really inclusive: women make up 51% of the population, so they should make up approximately 51% of participants. The youth make up the majority of the population, so they should make up the majority of participants. The poor make up around 85% of the population. They cannot be “re-presented” by rich, highly educated old men. We need not “re-presentation”. We do not need “presentation”. We need the poor young lowly educated women to be “PRESENT” and we need them to be heard. We need their own authentic contributions, and their own authentic concerns. That will… Read more »

I respect PAC. However, of late, PAC seems to have lost direction by allowing itself to be used or ‘contaminated’ by opposition political parties. In my layman’s understanding of the PAC of early 2000s it is not necessary to hold those so called All-inclusive Conferences because they have just become another social gathering without providing tangible solutions to Malawi’s problems but rather expressing frustrations at the Govt and expressing interest to usurp power through undemocratic means. These meetings have suddenly become platforms to incite civil disobedience, where opposition leaders denounce government and issue unnecessary ultimatums. This is actually degrading PAC… Read more »

I applaud PAC for calling another Conference where people will discuss the way forward after attempts to engage government in dialogue failed. This government is full of people who have their own egos. They this all Malawians are fools.

This government is playing with fire! They should ask John Tembo and Dr. Banda in heaven.Most advisors are very shallow minded and they pretend to be learned.

Bamusi? Does that mean that when parliament is in session, Malawians stop suffering?

Bamusi, that is a very lame excuse you are giving. How can you say you were not meeting because of parliament. It has nothing to do with parliament. Are you saying you can’t meet weekend on Saturday? And how many people on the government side are MPs? Tembenu is not an MP. He is not required to be in parliament. He should only attend parliament to answer questions.

Government is indeed not serious.

What is the point of having these meetings and making resolutions without implementing the resolutions?

Why is government shivering with this political party in sheep’s clothes called PAC? It was not this political party that voted for DPP government. Government must know this. And we have the Republican constitution which demands respect from all citizens including this political party called PAC. Let them go ahead with their so called conference. And you, the government, should be busy doing what you are supposed to be doing, serving Malawians. I don’t like these kid gloves that this political party (PAC) is enjoying. Malawi is bigger than PAC and it was not PAC that gave you mandate to… Read more »
