Under democracy anyone should be allowed to contest and stand for presidency even on their death bed unless they’re incapacitated one way or the other. If 18 years is considered to be an adult age then let them contest and if 94 years is good for the people then let vote for these old and dying species. That’s called democracy which doesn’t discriminate on the basis of age. Its the voters/people who have the power to make a decision as to who they believe would serve them well and look after their interests. As far as I know the constitution… Read more »
Abale movement inayamba kale. So Chidanti was being used by the movement to bring down the government through maize gate hoax? When that failed the same Malunga is using another tactic. Mulepheranso. Amalawi anadzuka kalekale. Zonse zomwe JB, Chakwera, Chilima and company, mukunamizana sizitheka. APM is winning again.
Ok thanks malunga and kalisita polimbana ndi ankhalambafe. Pokonza lamulolanulo mulembemonso kuti nkhalambafe tisamavote nao coz vote yankhalamba ndi nkhalamba yemwe. Kalisita munthu omvetsa chisoni mmaganizo. How old was Bingu when you married him? maso akowo amangoona ukalamba wa mwamuna anzako basi? Shame on you. Tiyamba kampeni ya ankhalamba tione zitha bwanji.
What does it concern with Calista here?Za ziii no point
Our laws already forsaw that age limit is an important factor, it affects ones performance in a big way.Age limit is already applicable in the Civil Service(60 years old mainstraim civil service and 70? for the greedy and selfish Judiciary). Age limit should have been applicable to Councillors,MPs and Presidents long time ago if this bunch of the so called Politicians were not as greedy and selfish as they have been or will continue to be. In the absence of the law on age limit, there could have been no problem at all beacuase the voters themselves could have an… Read more »
The retirement age in Malawi is 60. If the constitution has to be amended to provide for a limit, it should be 60. Anyone who is 60 and above should not be allowed to contest
Just wondering, if you exclude those aged 75, should they even vote since their capacity to think, according to Social and Physiological scientist like Callista, Malunga, Lunguzi, etc, without evidence, claim that old people have diminished thinking? Not every youthful politician is an example of a great thinker nor do they have same strength. Some youth can run a marathon while similar placed youths or same age can’t last a mile. We need all ages to participate in politics. Strict enforcement of laws must guide both young and old.
That’s why Malawi will never go forward as long as we have got people like you who always think negative things on a productive point
Bakili Muluzi was in his 50’s when he became president compared to Kamuzu who was in his 60’s
You can propose whatever you want but the effective date shall be 24 hours after the release of the 2019 electoral results. Chidanti if you are realistic include the following in your proposals:
1. Reinstate the recall provision.
2. Set term limits and age limit for MPs.
Let’s be realistic.Its got nothing to do with age.But the Vision and will power to make things happen.Kamuzu Banda was already in his 60’s when he returned to Malawi. He made things happen. We can not punish all Old People just because of One Clueless Old man.Bakili Muluzi was in his 40 ‘s when he became President. Did that make him Any Brilliant?Bingu was Old when he begun his first Term.But showed some brilliance Until some Tribalists hijacked his Second term.
Sorry my computer froze at the time of posting. So please use this edited post instead. What is the problem with Malawians? You hate discrimination, nepotism, cronyism, tribalism, regionalism yet you are open to age discrimination. This is a slippery slope with no end in sight. Next you will justify with the simplicity of a drunk that only those with a Masters degree can hold the office of president, then those with a PHD, then only those who speak a language common to each region, etc. You are admitting shamelessly that democracy cannot provide for a people’s choice. In your… Read more »
