Hey we are in a democrancy with institutions such as the police, ombudsman etc all for the public utilisation. Kamuzu built the foundations of this nation one of which is Chancellor college of which your an employee now. Atleast he deserves a tombstone befiting a fallen stateman. Lets not write out of hate… Read more »
