Man fundraises for purchase of presidential jet

Dec 14, 2015 Luke Bisani Politics 74

A man in Lilongwe has launched a fundraising project to raise money for the purchase of a private jet for Malawi Government.

The man, Sidney Ndembe, said the project will generate US$20 million for the purchase of a jet for the country.

Speaking to the local press, Ndembe said Malawians must take responsibility by contributing towards the purchase of the jet.

“If the government has failed it is up to citizens to do it to help their government,” said Ndembe.

Ndembe further said the project will have a bank account that will be accountable and transparent.

Ndembe said: “The records of the money will be published in newspapers for everyone to see how far the contributions are in terms of reaching the target.”

In 2009, late Bingu wa Mutharika bought a 14-passenger Dassault Falcon 900EX presidential jet worth US$13.26 million.

However, his successor, former President Joyce Banda, sold the jet due to numerous challenges that rocked the country.

This is too much now.between life and jet which iz more precious? Everytime malawi is losing her people due to medical drug shortage.then a mad man is bringing in rubbish ideas.shoul true malawians buy that? After all never will that jet be used to carry any sick malawian to hospital! Do not acumulate wealth out of poor malawians.

You fail to mobilise people to do fund raising for our fellow malawians who are sturving in our public hospitals,instead u r telling us to buy jet for a billionaire like peter? He said he was already rich when he was elected, agule yekha jet akaza luza azizayendera popita kundata farm

Zamkutu. We have more pressing problems in Malawi. Malawians are suffering -no basic necessities. The jet is very very far from being a priority for Malawi. Stupid idea from an idiot who just want to get cheap publicity.

We wil contribute generously towards this as people are dying of hunger in hospitals, rural areas, prisons and all over, no drugs in hospitals, no ambulances, making women delivering in minibuses. So I really belive that shallow minded ppo like us wil contribute to this. Especially civil servants like me whose salaries are still peanuts dispite promises by our geneious leaders to raise salaries, some going without leave grants until now. And perhaps business people will contribute more, whose goods are heavilly taxed in borders, kwacha depriciating mercilessly against foreign currency. So lets really contribute generously to the president who has millions in dollars in the US. Share us the acount number so we can deposite the hardly earned cash towards the purchase of the jet.
