Member of Parliament for Balaka North Lucius Banda says Malawians deserve bad political leaders because they deliberately vote for weak candidates while booting out visionary politicians.

According to Banda, Malawians can vote for a candidate because of shallow things such as hand-outs while an incumbent who was development conscious may be voted out.

Banda: Malawians are narrow-mindend

“It is only here in Malawi where people would knowingly vote for a weaker candidate at the expense of the country and a good visionary leader just to stroke their racial, religious, regionalistic and of course political partisan ego.

“A t-shirt or Chitenje can make a Malawian voter forget all the good developmental works one MP did. Why are we this myopic when it comes to making leadership choices?” he wondered.

Banda gave an example of Clement Stambuli, a former MP for Nkhotakota Central as one politician who did not deserve to lose his Parliamentary seat since he developed his constituency.

“The man who made me believe in myself politically. I saw an MP voted into a position and delivered to his people a kind of development everyone appreciate to date,” said Banda.

The United Democratic Front (UDF) parliamentarian also admitted that Malawians’ egotism and failure to know visionary and development conscious politicians makes him fear for his political career. Banda says he fears he will experience what befell Stambuli and other “great” politicians.

He said: “The fact that him and a lot of great MPs are not in Parliament today, makes me shiver with fear for my political future and of course believe that really Malawi does not suffer because of bad leadership as such, but because of the citizenry’s malice, selfishness and inability to know what is good for the country, and make a good choice of an MP or president.”

  2. This is true Lucius. Malawi is today in this sorry state because of tribalistic and malice. We did not want to vote for prople who know our problems but opted for Matchona. See where our countyr is heading to now.
    We cannot have good leaders because we are a bad and jealosy peaople.

  3. Firstly, was Lucius voted out of handouts? If no, then there could be reasons why ppo voted for you soldier and stick in implementing that reason. If you do that, you will not fall short of your ppoz love. Democracy is the rule of the majority, if someone is failing to satisfy their majority in their area then that’s risky. Then the question should what majority wants is it for the development or daily food? Whatever the answer, if you still want your seat, do what is mutually good for your constituency. Otherwise, its not true that all ppo who booted out were erroneously booted out; some deserved it and thence you can’t make a generalizing conclusion out of a few, you are committing a fallacy of generalization

  10. Am in total agreement with Banda.Hand-outs have completely paralyzed our thinking capacity, it has even made majority shortsighted.You cant win any election in Malawi if you can’t dish out alms.Wake-up Malawi!

  12. The say has been said already, what i can say is that more than 85% of malawians are greedy starting from the vunerables up to our leaders.

  14. Olo wina atangobwera ndi k50 kugawira dziko lonse akhoza kuvoteredwa kukhala president ndipo pompano timva kuti Bushiri akuimira nawo u president.

  15. Dear all malawians,
    Hope you have contributed your views enough and who have got ears have picked up something at least, but my question is that who knows what came across into mr MR LUCIUS BANDA’s mind to say what he said. Obviouse Every matured malawian knows what Lucius Banda is capable of, so nothing need to put on table that can make sense if somebody spare any piece of idea for this Mr Honourable. The thing is that MALAWI should have only need to change its political system. If someone want to contest in whatever position is, first he/ she must forwad an advanced none refundable backup which may be used in a particular constiuency or such allocated develoment area if the contestant fails to meet required amendments.
    Being a malawian by naturally ask yourself, when shall you be free from unforfilled manfest that a lot of malwian leaders bring into our societies?
    In short,DEVELOPMENT FIRST MANIFESTALS LATER

  16. I don’t see any thing wrong from his post. What I know truth hurts Banda said exactly what happens.
    We make bad choices, we become bad choosers. Ndiwakwathu, hand outs komaso kusata zipembezo zamuthuyo ndizomwe a Malawi amasata kwambiri kupotsa dzelu kapena kapena khalidwe lamuthu.
    Lucius should not blamed poyakhula maganizo ache he has his freedom of expression. For me he said exactly what Malawians does which is bad for their erea and country.

    1. Peter he won, dot be stupid, poti chisakho chinali cha patatu, does it mean only 4 president was not oky? Why those chakwera and de group did not refuse 2 b sworn in as MPs? So zat we shud appreciate zat de elections were rigged? Dot b cheated APM worn with narrow magin

    5. they wanted to recount the votes but before recountin the warehouse where they kept the voted boxes got burned… simungazifunse mafunso pamenepo ???

    2. u too shame bro…because here his approach has not been wholistic.how can he say we vote for people becoz of handouts?did the pipo of balaka vote for him as an mp becoz of that?what about ma presdents takhala nawo aja amatifupa? you take malawians for granted mr chiwaya and your friend lucius.people know what they want.so munthu winawake woti chifukwa amatha kuimba nde he shud be mr know it all we cant take that.tell your friend to consult before he airs out issues.si mu studio umu

  28. I agree with Mr Soldier, The we have in this country is ignorance and voting by bloc. It is very pathetic that out of all potential people in we have, we ended up voting someone who has been abroad for 40yrs and expect that he is going to change things for better. Peter can never change Malawi cz he does not even understand the peoples lives at the grass root because he has no knwledge at all. It is vry pathetic to see hu he chooses cabinet ministers, hu can a person understand his duties as a minister while cmn direct selling shoes at the market??? Look at ppo who fought 4 freedom in Africa, they were young energetic men, even in the time of Dr Banda, he could choose young men like Aleke Banda to be ministers, but we vote a person who is over 75years and has already retired from his wrk s a teacher, hw can he change things. he cannot even understand the new technology, hu can he change thingz then??? Our Malawi will never change becz we are dull

  30. Its true Banda bt to me I see a problem,as we can see our country the people who stay n Village the population are high than people who stay n town.And most people n Village they dnt knw the one who can help them because of School thinking capacity s low.And u can see when u go n town hw many MPs who stay in that position for 10 years? Ndizovuta kuti anthu kenikweni akumudzi azinndikile kuti MP uyu akunama kapena akunena zoona…ndichifukwa chake timasakha olakwika.

  38. Malawians just like always, you mid interpreted the words of Mr banda. You Malawians you suck and yes he’s right you deserve these vision less leaders. When someone gives an eye opener you totally blow it out of proposal

  39. First of all,let me agree with Lucious Banda’s Story.Today Malawi as a country is in a sorry state becouse of bad governance as well as lack of strategic vision from those incharge of the affairs of the state.It is also true that we electorate have siginificantly contributed to the problem through unwise voting,People with great ideas and genuine intetions have been simply ignored in preferance of croocks who only seek to enrich themselves or their inner circle and family friends.How ever i wish to disagree with Honourable Lucias Banda on his Example of a wise leader who deserve to be in Parliament.He has mentioned the name of Mr.Clement Stambuli from Nkhotakota Central,I am from this consituency and i can tell u that the man did not deserve a second chance in politics.It was during his time incharge of the consituency that crimes were rampant and roads were very Bad.Nkhotakota Boma is the most undeveloped town in the country.All politicians who have represented this district which starts from chiluwa to Dwambazi have literally failed to improve it.Clement Stambuli was at some point minister of Transport during muluzi era,u will agree with me that nkhotakota did not in anyway get a good road let alone doulble lane Bridges.Nkhotakota is an estate district with sugar industry at the centre of it.But look at the roads in nkhotakota.Every year We loose a bridge and all this started during Kamuzu Banda trough to Bingu now peter is incharge. so Mr.stambuli does not deserve a credit,not at all.Nkhotakota does not have even a bus stage like other districts.people were terrorised during his time.That man did nothing.I just felt i should make that correction Hon.Lucious…..

  40. No leader is good,everyone is got weaknesses.they say something they do the other,never trust politicians provided they are not causing chaos in this country then its fine.

  49. No wonder some people want federation in this country, we can’t be ruled by idiots born from the same mother and father. Northerners are not ready for Southeners presidents , do not force them please.

    We would rather have the northern region be ruled by Tanzanians than Lomwes. Why should we have presidents from the same tribe woes still the same stupid family as if it’s a monarchy government?

  77. At some point we must comment an article according to the story.Read an article and comment,to me it seems that there is a problem in terms of understanding.Lucius didn’t condemn any past leader here,he’s just explaining according to him as for me I agree with him.Malawian we are not good in decision making.I raise my case.Soldier u r right

I don’t think the problem is voting for who or me but mos of us do not know our responsibilities and a role to play as a citizen .we have someone in mind to blame for our own mistakes and we fear to face the challenges rather we want to find everything in a smooth way which is practically impossible.

    1. Wrong! poor service delivery comes from the government these people takes us for a ride when they are voted into power.

  85. I think the biggest idiot is lucius him and all those supporting

  87. Every sitting President in Malawi is branded bad are you good?_kamuzu bakili bingu jb we were told were bad but now dead or out of Office are good.Useless

  107. Very true. The culprits are political leaders who deliberately exploit the ignorance of the majority of our people. This could be rectified if many of our NGOs helped with serious civic education. Good subject matter.

  108. Ndale za pa Malawi tinazolowera kunamizana. Izi nchifukwa chake amalawi mpaka pano sitidziwabe kusankha mtsogoleri. Even Obama atangobwera kuti aime upresident tikhoza kumuvotera kusonyeza kusadziwa. Nchifukwa anthu a ndale amatipezerera. Kodi nanga anthuwa angadziwe bwanji kusankha moyenera?

  109. This issue of voting useless leaders makes our communities not getting remarkable development. I also feel pity with my fellow malawians, how come we vote for someone over the age of 70yrs as president? Do we expect that kind of a person to bring development? These old aged presidents are not useful to transform any development endevours in my own view.

  110. Thats true,we Malawians looks like we dont know what we want ,we vote for pple becoz of where they come from and becoz of the hand-outs we receive during campaign periods not thinking about the long term consequences,we are ourselves to blame

  112. Plz learn to post long story like this, Member of Parliament for Balaka North
    Lucius Banda says Malawians deserve
    bad political leaders because they
    deliberately vote for weak candidates
    while booting out visionary politicians.
    According to Banda, Malawians can vote
    for a candidate because of shallow things
    such as hand-outs while an incumbent
    who was development conscious may be
    voted out.
    Banda: Malawians are narrow-mindend
    “It is only here in Malawi where people
    would knowingly vote for a weaker
    candidate at the expense of the country
    and a good visionary leader just to stroke
    their racial, religious, regionalistic and of
    course political partisan ego.
    “A t-shirt or Chitenje can make a
    Malawian voter forget all the good
    developmental works one MP did. Why
    are we this myopic when it comes to
    making leadership choices?” he
    wondered.
    Banda gave an example of Clement
    Stambuli, a former MP for Nkhotakota
    Central as one politician who did not
    deserve to lose his Parliamentary seat
    since he developed his constituency.
    “The man who made me believe in
    myself politically. I saw an MP voted into
    a position and delivered to his people a
    kind of development everyone
    appreciate to date,” said Banda.
    The United Democratic Front (UDF)
    parliamentarian also admitted that
    Malawians’ egotism and failure to know
    visionary and development conscious
    politicians makes him fear for his
    political career. Banda says he fears he
    will experience what befell Stambuli and
    other “great” politicians.
    He said: “The fact that him and a lot of
    great MPs are not in Parliament today,
    makes me shiver with fear for my
    political future and of course believe that
    really Malawi does not suffer because of
    bad leadership as such, but because of
    the citizenry’s malice, selfishness and
    inability to know what is good for the
    country, and make a good choice of an
    MP or president.”

    2. yes, this tip posting usually mislead fb readers, remember some uses slow web surfing applications, thereforth only commenting without acute knowledge of the whole story,

  113. My Hon. Lucius Banda.
    Poverty is a more serious problem not because it is an affliction but because it is a curse. It takes devine intervention to remove a curse. Political solutions will not help Malawians. We need a total paradigm shift in our thinking. In Malawi even rich people want to get freebies. Thats why there is theft even at the highest levels of government. If a donor comes you find that even the ministers want to get free donations. Because they can not qualify then they steal. What do call that my brother? Its nothing but a curse. Everyone believes he is poor. Look at the beneficiaries of the university loan scheme in our colleges . Eligible students are left out. Children of professors and govt. top officials are the ones benefiting. In other countries this would call for an arrest. But in MW this no issue. The poor continue to languish. The root is the poverty curse. Malawi needs a revolution. Some one must come and dictate the way we do things. Look at Paul Kagame in Rwanda. Rwanda was a pathetic corrupt country under Habyarimana but today Rwanda is a success story which every african country wants to replicate. Why Kagame is ruling with an iron fist. We need such leaders but its tough in Africa to get true patriots like Kagame. The majority are the thieves we see. So what to do now? Watch and pray and believe that some day something good will come out. All these evil things must happen first before God can turn things around for us. When Malawi has cried loud enough even unto death. Then God will raise a true patriot for us. Watch and pray Sir and dont afraid.

  115. well said MP. what are you fearing being unseat. Are you a fotreigner in this country? Have you arleady forgoten issues of handouts were started by UDF the party you are representing. Tikudziwa mukuopa Ngalande izi sizachilendo mudaziyamba pitirizani. What have u done in your constituency worthy pointing, how visionery are you in you constituency? You are now admitting kuti your party set bad precedents. Mr Banda deliver people will vote for you. Be reminded talking in parliament is not yardstick your can measure but people want what you have done to them on the ground. Ngalande did campagn of handouts against you did he win? Look at yourself andcorrect mistakes you fill are detaching you from your electorates. What you are fearing are owncreated problem.

  118. There is need for politicians to be stable in their political career as switching parties confuses the masses since they are not consulted fully.

  119. Lucius people voted for you to parliament inorder for you to develop the area so just do that and they will vote you back at the sametime make sure that your human relations with the constituents is at par as others lost due to this despite what development they did fancy Stambuli had all the financial muscle as compared to Hon Mazeze and yet he lost this shows that there is something missing in his personality which if corrected will see this multi talented individual back to parliament as the doors are not closed for him so fear not just do things which brings satisfaction to your people
