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.
“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.”

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.

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
You can say that again LB
Blame it on the high illiteracy in màlawi

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!

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.
ndipo sakunama ameneyu,,I agree with him 100%
Olo wina atangobwera ndi k50 kugawira dziko lonse akhoza kuvoteredwa kukhala president ndipo pompano timva kuti Bushiri akuimira nawo u president.
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
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.
