  1. You cannot always fault Chakwera. We are complaining about deforestation. The government is stopping it and here we are pointing an accusing finger at Chakwera. Truth be told this problem has not been dealt with by Muluzi, the two Professor presidents from Goliati, Thyolo, and JB. Let us move forward without unfairly accusing HE LMC.

  2. I honestly don’t see a good reason for putting these ladies on full remand. Osangowatchaja fine bwanji? Criminals are walking very freely out here.

  3. What do you want these innocent people to do for living, should they steal, why do you implement policies without considering life first? create 1million jobs as per your promise and see if this will continue.
