Some Development Issues and Debates

I have just heard that JZU and many of his critics have agreed to reconcile and this will be followed by JZU's announcement of his retirement. This will then be followed by a convention where the MCP will elect its members in a manner that will not only make the MCP a strong party once again, but a trully reformed party for the nation too. It sounded too good to be true, but they say it is true. Is this good for you or for the nation?

I am very happy to learn that Hon JZU has deemed it wise to pave way for new blood in 2014. There is no sin that is never cleansed, and if we thought he was going to cling to power and leave a divided MCP, and hence a politically insecure Malawi, we were wrong. He has once again proved that he is a changed man, who, even though led the MCP to a massive defeat by the ruling DPP, realises that the nation must come first in his decisions. A democratic system with a weak opposition, lacks the much needed checks and balances, constructive criticism of government undertakings, and is as good as ‘dynamically dead’. Hon JZU’s decision on this issue is wise and is in line with democracy consolidation and equitable distribution of opportunities, development and many other things in the country. He deserves honour! Viva democracy. Viva Malawi.
