Some places

I am no longer sure if joining a public service to reach out to masses would be measured by what one gets as a reward. Low pay in public service such as my work place and then when you want to put stories that will be of public importance, someone decides to engage in a verbal battle with the Judiciary. When I say some places, you ask yourself, why am I still here. Why cant I live a professional and fulfilling life. Why should I be associated with one of the worst forms of professionalism and be labelled as such when you walk around town. I have gone into serious thoughts about some place where I want to be Jaunary One. If you are a professional, it pains to see someone throwing the whole integrity and professionalism to dogs. I think, its time to be at some place. It was great to work home!!!!

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
