Opposition Malawi Congress Party (MCP) President and leader of opposition Lazarus Chakwera has urged the country to have federal system of government arguing that the current leadership is continuing misplacing priorities.
Speaking at political rally in Mzimba district over the weekend, Chakwera said the country is in a state of “crisis” due to poor policies by the ruling Democratic Progress Party (DPP).

Chakwera wondered why the children still learn under shade of trees fifty-two years down the mark of self rule and shortage of drugs in public hospitals being a playing song for kids.
However,DPP spokesperson Francis Kasaira said government is doing a lot in as far as development is concerned.
“We are not amused, the opposition always look at the negative side, we have moved for two years without direct budget support,the Kasiya road, technical colleges and roads in cities are just a few,” said Kasaira.
Earlier this year, the Public Affairs Committee (PAC) put down calls to adopt federal government arguing the country is not ready to have the system.
PAC comments angered stakeholders who were pushing for the calls and vowed to continue demanding for the system in the country.

A Pangani, why aren’t you ashamed of displaying your ignorance here. When you have little knowledge of something humble yourself and follow issues when those in the know are discussing, in that way you get to know little by little you can then stupify those who tow your line of thinking.
will that solve or worsen the situation?
ziri bho aliyense azidya zake. kummwera kulima ayi koma Uhule ndikumangoyendayenda so muyisovenge zanu ndale basi. Muli busy kumadzagula chimanga pakati pano.

kkkkkk it’s true , look here hon Chakwera if u will be elected as a Malawi president are u going to do that ? i think that’s not what the nation need as opposition party leader try hard to campaign by using the right pilitical strategies and dont give and use short term tactics just becouse u need majority and dont forget majority is yours and ur going to rule this nation as long as u stay in power as MCP president and everyone knows that its only Mcp party which can govern the Malawi nation . So don’t be derailed by some ideas which even u cannot happy with , tell Malawians that time is coming when all the drama which happening is going to be history , look what happen in Britain Farage campaign campaign for twenty years now he got it , tell Malawian that its not money they need the nation need justice thats all if we can achieve the we will be blessed as it was before coz idont agree that the country is poor but the policies put in place to run the government are poor and are evil such a small country beautiful but always struggling food while is blessed with fertile soil , please dont loose ur going to rule and stick to the constructive criticism

Kamuzu fought for stupid federation,now someone in the leader of the same party is fighting again for federation… what a shame ! this shows power hungry indeed & these are some points which shows that this party is looking (going) a wrong way. If you Mr Chakwera was voted in 2014,would MCP allow this? Can we change the constituon due to the reasons of a few people who cheat the nation in the name of Malawians representatives? Once again, shame on you Chakwera and ur advisors.
kkkkk koma anthunu simuli serious zaka zikuthatu izi no work done. Don’t play with pple’s mind
be aware that even peter muntharika proposed federal to be adopted in malawi b4 he became a president bcos he knew by tthen he was having nothing to lose bt since he took over the mantle he change the tune cos he is afraid of losing power to give it to people like in south africa know that federal is not good for the president bcos he wl be trimmed power bt fedral is good for you and me cos wl be given power to take task of asking all malpractices done in govt e.g MSB sale,jet Sale,K577 Billlion cashgate,Issa njauju motive of his dealth
iwe ulindi mfundo osati enawa
if you don’t know what is federal don’t comment bt go and read cos most comments shows they don’t know what is federal they need civic education otherwise they refuse something that can help them bt umbuli ndi ufiti
I can see Northerners and centrals they want federal cos they have got nothing to lose due to their hard working bt southerners are afraid due to laziness and they benefit a lot from diversional of resources from hardworkers to the lazy due to population bt without north and central working hard in tobbacco field kwacha would have been complete down with this southerners leadership bt if you refuse federal expect malawi not to develop bcos they federal is taking too much power from president and giving it to the ordinary citizen like you and me bt yu refuse you said all powers must remain with the president so that he oppress and steal frm you shame myopic thinking

that’s supplying which can happen when otherside are not creative enough to create jobs for unskilled labour and I don’t support that in this 21 century Malawi suppose to move away from depending man power and adopt Machinery power cause nowadays man power is like slaves bt insteady of dpp govt doing that they bought a lot of tractors and dpp gurus share themselves living poor malawians anguish with hoe no matter you a tumbuka,ngoni,sena,lomwe,chewa bt we need federal=power to people while uunitary is power to the president we can’t even ask about tractors which were bought in india do you know 3 or4 tractors can manage to feed a district in malawi tractors are gone you are stil handclapping
Mr Zimba dont say Southerners are lazy,that is a hetred language brother.The fact is even if you bring referendum to vote you gonna lose again.You seems like you dont even knw what Malawi needs to be developing nation as well.No wonder Kamuzu was chasing you Northerners to go back and work where you belongs to becose of this stubborn!!
