Mabvuto Banda tells Kaliati-DPP cheated Malawians

Nation Publications Limited Bureau Chief for Lilongwe Mabvuto Banda this morning told Government spokesperson Patricia Kaliati that her party cheated Malawians as evidenced by what is happening now.Here is what transpired this morning at the Central Office of Information:

Mabvuto: Why is Government so scared about PAC meeting. Traditionally we have always have these meetings where people decide their future. It was there in 1992-93 to end the one party regime of Banda and the same happened in 2002 when people stopped the third term. You were there you supported the third term. That is the feeling of many people.

Kaliati: Government is not scared but it is concerned with the castigation. They are just castigating everybody without any solutions. If they are serious why cant they focus on issues than castigation. The question is yours, dont say people are saying this, that is your opinion. Even yourself you have not offered solution.

Mabvuto: That is not my job to offer solutions, I am not Government.

Kaliati: No you are Government, you people elected the Government its is your job, if not whose job do you think it is.

Mabvuto: It is yours Honourable Minister. People did not elect me to offer solutions. They elected you to solve their problems, like the ones we are facing.

Kaliati: Yes, so people elected us meaning they know we will solve the problems. Thats why they elected us.

Mabvuto: No, the DPP cheated them that you will solve their problems.

Kaliati: But thats not the point if people are meeting to solve problems they should offer solutions and not castigate each other.

Kaliati tone was very calm and they moved to other questions. After the briefing they talked for some time joking on various issues, before agreeing to continue talking to each other on issues affecting Malawi. It was a first!

Honestly.its like you have not.zipped.your trouser and people are.pointing at you.Then you start questioning what the problem is.Can someone there have the five senses and ask questions like 'why is the nation against us now?'Why was there no bad publicity in the first term?Does every one who is complaining about our.bad policies eying for presidency?These are questions every sane person has to ask if things are not going your way

Obama, Ntaba and the long walk towards Tobacco control

Today, a heart rendering and touching ceremony was heard at the Durban Convetion centre in South Africa, 40 million people have died since 1999 from tobacco smoking deaths. The diseases are many so it denial. The Framework Convention Alliance and many Civil Society organisations, are working tirelessly to inform the public on the dangers of smoking. I felt ashamed as a Malawian to hear Malawi mentioned now and then as a country which has not signed the FCTC a World Heath organisation treaty that advocates regulation of tobacco smoking. I am not sure what Bakili Muluzi was thinking, but I am sure my President Bingu wa Mutharika is intelligent enough to read the treaty and realise that in anyway regulating smoking does it kill our tobacco sector. After all as Yussuf Saloojee and Alison Cox say, the crop has not helped Malawians much in their 100 years of growing. I see poverty, we cry poverty and for years we continue to be among the poorest despite not having wars or any sort of conflic

Protect the Poor Madame President

Finally the evil we all pretended would never come has landed. The Malawi Kwacha for long held at an artificial rate has come crumbling down to an already worn out people. Malawians have moved from position of comfort to that of uncertainty in the past one also years. The devaluation this morning, could not have been as painful as this one will be, if the kwacha was let to float and make its own value stand. Controls should only be done in economies which are stronger to sustain themselves. Today, the dollar is at K252 officially and the countries largest Commercial bank is buying at K247 and selling hard cash at K257. Good news to exporters- especially tobacco farmers. Their take home will increase considerably though we are not sure how the corresponding cost of living will  be at the moment. The cost of living is already high for an average worker in Malawi. The administration of President Joyce Banda, as she personally say running to put things in order. She says Malawi n
