Parliament to reconvene for budget deliberation on June 25 – Speaker
The Office of the Speaker of the National Assembly Catherine Gotani Hara has announced that parliament will not reconvene on Monday June 22 2020 to continue discussing the 2020-2021 national budget as earlier planned.
Hara said this is aimed at giving Members of Parliament (MPs) a chance of exercising their constitutional right to vote in Tuesday’s fresh presidential elections.
However, according to a communication from Hara herself, the House will reconvene for the continuation of the 2020-2021 national budget meeting on Thursday 25th June 2019.
Minister of Finance, Economic Planning and Development Joseph Mwanamveka presented a K2 trillion budget last Friday with a backdrop of experiencing a dramatic 35 percent drop in revenue collection.
He said the 2020-2021 budget had been developed under the theme ‘Economic Recovery, Mitigation and Building Resilience.
ELEVEN REASONS WHY DR LAZARUS CHAKWERA WILL BE MALAWIS NEXT 6TH PRESIDENT:
1) The promised reduced fertilizer universal price of MK4,495/50 kg bag compared to MK5,000 to 1 million beneficiaries only is more appealing to all Malawians ;
2) TONSE alliance Policies such as youth service, No QUOTA system are more appealing to Malawians. Northern Region voters in partiular will vote for Chakwera despite the recent cosmetic abolition of the 9 years old QUOTA system by Peter Muthalika and his DPP
3)LMC is viewed by manay as a respected, cool, honest and and GOD fearing leader compared to the tribalistic, regionalist, drunkard and most corrupt of the five presidents that Malawi has had since 1964;
4) LMC has a competitive advantage over APM by virtual of being a Chewa, the biggest tribe in Malawi compared to the APM’s Lomwe tribe;
5) LMC comes from the most populous Lilongwe District with over 1 million registered voters compared to APM’ s Thyolo with around 200,000 voters;
6) LMC has a much more National appeal than APM , the latter’s open Lomwelisation policy and QUOTA system are amongst the factors that has limited his appeal mostly to his Lomwe belt and Southern Region;
7) LMC’s has the most loyal Central Region political base compared to APM’s Southern Region which has been unlocked by the TONSE alliance Team members such as Sidik Mia,Amayi Joyce Banda, Akweni Patricia Kaliati, Michael Usi and many others some of which are Councillors, and MPs;
8) LMC’s running mate, Dr SKC is a much strategic thinker hence has a much more national appeal than the young Atupele Muluzi, a Machinga North East MP reject( 236,000 national presidential votes compared to over 1 Million votes). Atupele is too Muslimized according to his own infamous” INE NDINE MUSLIM FAME”
9) LMC and SKC are both married from the Northern Region hence will get a bigger share than APM, the deciding and winning votes
10) APM has made less campaign rallies than the TONSE alliance team across the country which has disconnected him from some voters
11) The TONSE alliance has this time enhanced its election monitoring structures and systems by sourcing adequate funds to motivate their monitors so DPP reliance on rigging will not work
That’s truth, Chakwera and Chilima alamulira, enawo akapume.
M’manja mwanu a Vyoto.
