  3. Perks yes but he must now grow up! He must reduce the casino life. I admire his papers. The man went to skool. Am told her is got a degree of economics in french. Bingu is changing malawi. We were indeed tired of the same faces, same names. Amalawi ophunzira alipo ambiri!

  5. I knew Ligoya as a Masters and PhD student in one of the French reputable universities. He's got friends in both the Paris Club and IMF. After his studies in France, this gentleman was offered a job in a bank called Credit Lyonnais but he declined the job because he wated to come back to Malawi to serve his nation. Nyamata wa vision. Bonne chance Perks, que Dieu te benisse.

  6. Why is it all of a sudden appointments are going to Thyolo people? I always appreciate learned guys who must be rewarded for their hardwork, the President should realise that Malawi has been one country until the May 2009 elections.

    We must learn lessons from political parties which were strong and have now become district parties. I hope this does'nt happen with the DPP which I voted for. Now all pointers are showing that HE's popularity has commenced its descent.

    I remember I predicted this for Zimbabwe back in 2000 when the war veterans started their campaign of grabbing farms. I remember that time I was in London and I was asked my views by a BBC reporter.

    I would like to appeal to president's closest advisors to please warn him that he should not be carried by the last victory and handle issues as he is doing now.

    There is the issue of quota system of education. This is an issue which is reminiscent with the chasing of certain tribes from parts of Malawi. Bakili did not touch it but Bingu has embraced it. I wish him all the best. I hope he will manage to hold parliament in one piece come November.
