That is redundancy. What is Ministry of Economic Planning and Development for??? We do not need another commission for people to waste hard earned tax payer money. I’m sick and tired of these commissions?

Opposition MPs should speak as if they live in Malawi. Having an Act of Parliament will not ensure that this unnecessary new body is adequately funded or respected. How many bodies backed by an Act of Parliament is the DPP government underfunding in the current budget? Are courts not backed by an Act of Parliament? Isn’t the ACB backed by an Act of Parliament?

We are watching. What are the terms of reference for this commission, anyway? Were these TORs properly spelled out in the budget or… Read more »
