Mutharika’s extended stay in US good for Malawi – Govt

Government has assured Malawians that President Peter Mutharika’s prolonged stay in the United States of America is for the betterment of the country.

The president went to the US to attend the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) and he ended his UN business over a week ago but he has since extended his stay in the North American country.

Mutharika is still in the US.

The continued stay of Mutharika and his team in the US has brought in mixed reactions with some quarters saying the president is squandering resources while others have defended him.

But minister of information Malison Ndau has claimed that the president is not wasting money since he is meeting other stakeholders who will bring more opportunities to Malawi.

Ndau said the president is using the opportunity to market the nation to potential investors.  

“Its wrong to say that the President is squandering taxpayers’ money because the long stay is for the betterment of this country,” said Ndau.

The minister however claimed that the day of Mutharika’s coming is not known but he expressed hope that the Malawi leader will be returning home soon.

He further said that if the president had not prolonged his stay, it would have been costly for him to come to Malawi and then go back to the US to meet the investors.

  2. He is not a baby for u to keep on following up his trip. Ru the one who sent him? Ok even if it is our tax money he is entitled to do other engagements. He is trying to kill many birds using one stone. Why opposing everything. A Chakwera, JB onsewa akatuluka do u give them ultimatums? Yes, sizikuyenda in the govt but stop negative attitudes towards ur leader. U can’t make a trip to shopping mall for bread only.

No one can invest in the country which the heart of their Leaders spend the money than the supplier of money. Any organisation that supports this leadership is contributing the fall of this country, prophet Mutharika mst fall

  20. The comments pple are making clearly show that the government is comming to an end.Tifuniranji umboni wina

  21. Not good for a country like Malawi. The economy is already worse.

  22. It’s like telling the kids Your dad has gone to Theba now your mother can start doing prostitution to have food in the house kkkkkk DPP yalakwa yalakwa basi # Ackson Kalaile Banda

  23. Am rattled with this report. Mr President what can help you is ONLY TO RESIGN because you’re not fit to represents poor Malawians. Mr president it would better for you to resign before (madzi sadafike mkhosi) things are not worse. Am wishing you a quickest resignation and long life.

  24. Chomwe ndinaona kulimbana kapena kunyoza tsongoleri ndi zithu zopanda mphindu palibe chomwe mungapindule cz iyeyo sakumva mungotaya nthawi pezani chna chochta.

  25. He may be making funds for upcoming campaign / gaining by tricks, kuiwerenga man patauni . If it was profitable they would let us know, koma kubisaku kukusonyeza kuti they are untrustworthy.

  26. In which way can this happen Mr Chmtengo, as u know Malawi depends on Donors. The President must go to meet with rich countries and convience them to open some companies in our country.Same like you , if u can just sit in ur house without going somewhere to look for work or business , you think ur family can survive, plz think twice.

    1. I think u r de one who suppose to think twice coz what chimtengo is trying to say is if the government’s can introduce good business environment the country will sell herself internationally thereby attracting the investors, the president is indeed wasting tax payers money coz those companies he is trying to persuade they already know Malawi has a lot to do for them to come, poor electricity, water problems, high taxes etc, which company do think can come to dip their money into acid??

    2. Alimi Agulitse Mbewu Mkupeza Phindu Lochuluka, Magetsi Odalirika, Chitetezo Chokwanira, Antchito Zaboma Kulipidwa Mokwanira Munthiwi Yake, Ana Asukulu Kusulidwa Mwapamwamba, Zipatala Zodalirika Mutha Kuonjezera……Izi Zimakopa Makampani. Shee Munthu Achokere Ku America Kudzayambitsa Company Akadwala Akachilire Ku America Kkkkk

    3. system of government and house issue are totally different… malawi sidziko loti layamba dzana like south sudan bwana..every body knows that we exist…si issue yochita

    4. kukhala pansi to convince investors… if we good they come if we bad mmene tililimu or atathako chaka peter they an’t coming

    5. mataya ,is that what your president told you that he is lobbying for Donors ? Why should he only tell you instead of informing the malawians who employed him ? I was there at the airport when he was leaving for UNGA.

    6. Thank you Guyz this is good debate ,i think we teach each other how to make a good government which can better for all Malawians. I salute you guyz for all comments sharp, sharp.

    7. ndimadabwa macompany angabwere kuno magetsi ake amenewa? ndipo Bwanawo angalankhulenso zoti akufuna makampani adzayambitse mabiziness muno? Ndekuti mlangizi alibe omulangiza zolankhulatu

    8. If u think that Pathetic narcisistict bufoon thinks about the ordinarly Malawian u are so blind and ignorant .just go to the hospitals and see how sad and dark that place is..it looks like a horror movie full of “the walking dead” that man u call a leader is one evil son of a cunt

    9. A hyna has no friend (Fisi aĺibe bwenzi) Even if the president stays in US for the whole year he wont lure investors to come to Malawi coz of his bad traits. This you will realise when someone takes over as new Malawi president believe you me.

  27. Hahahaha nde amadikila chimsonkhanochi kuti apeze potulukira? Izi ndizija zopita kumudzi chifukwa choti galimoto yamaliro ikupita komko

  28. The only better thing here is that, in his absence his deputy is sailing this already sinking ship well. And the thing we are worried about is, his prolonged stay America which is further draining tax payers money that could hav been used on other important things. I doubt if this aged man will return home with something positive.

  29. U admin it seems that u like this stupit president he is not a real president he wini cos of fucking corruption we are not to for baba forget that mama banda we like u with ur pp

  30. Iam not suport any political paty here in Malawi,koma kodi nkhani izingokhala ya munthu mmozi basi,tiyeni tizikambilanako zoti enafe tiphuzileko chinachake.

  31. Zochimwitsa izi its easy to win elections through back door but its difficult to run the country using crooked ways..
    Boma lafika potitola tsopano..we are relying on lies everyday…

  32. I’ve never & I’ll never be a fun of DPP, in fact I am #MCP. But my observation is that we want to blame somebody else for our own failure. lets work, let us be innovative, let us be architectures of our own lives. Tikalimbana ndi awa tichedwa. I once heard that; a man isn’t a failure until he start to blame somebody for his own problems

    1. man if youre mcp fun its good ,but iam adpp fun,ilove my party , ngakhare wina atandicheka thako sindinga lowe mcp,chipani chokangana

    2. Fossie ur right aise, ineso i mind my busines bas. Zot president alipo kaya palibe i dont care. Zot boma likuyenda or not its none of my concern bola vep ndi busines zanga zikutheka. A president or party cant change me

    3. Gvt has its obligation on his people,you and me we are better off we can afford to stand on our own,we can go to private hospitals,private xuls,but our own relatives are very poor and can’t afford what I have mentioned,they still need government to help them,if am better off it doesn’t mean everything is alright out there ,a lot of people are suffering,those people needs government assistance .Tonse sitingakhale ochita bwino.

  33. Hahahaha guys zinazi aboma akakuzani, musamalembenso apa, musamatidziwitse. Zikungosokosa kwambiri. Betterment for Malawi!!?? Really???

  34. Ndilugwilizana Ndi [0:[0:1:Malawi24]] Popeleka Ulemu Ndi Mafuno Abwino Kwa Nsogoleli Wathu Wamasomphenya Pamene Akukatitengela Zitukuko Zankhaninkhani Komwe Kutali Kwa Azungu Ku Ameleka!

  35. zachamba basi!! mwalepher kuyenda dziko bolaso malemu aja…mukungobatso apa…mwatikwan mukapume mwamva..tidzavoter bushiri ife not you again

  36. Investors research frequently where to invest, u don’t have to sweat to convince them to invest in your country. If your country has favourable conditions they will come on their own. Copy that Mr president focus on making our country favourable for businesses to thrive than waste our taxes on useless meetings to convince investors. Dzuwa salozelana

    1. When late Bingu showed interest to construct Nsanje Inland Port we saw investors from all over, Germany, China, Italy Britain, America visited Malawi Nsanje in particular, some even bought land.

    2. exactly what Thomas Friedman says in his book The World Is Flat.investers will always go where conditions for investment are right.he also says that,it doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle,when the day breaks you have to run.malawi is a lazy or slow gazelle and it is surely going to be eaten.

  37. Thank you,you can keep on staying there so that the betterment of Malawi should continue,whatever it means may be the other side ijust cant understand this

  38. Kikikiki yah this Guy is American why not, we want propheicer now he is buzy thieff money and make beter life in U.S.A while pipo here is dieing with njala umbalame Amanyasa.

    1. iwe sunadziwebe kuti president akachoka m’dziko amasiya wachiwiri wake?@ #Abam I think sometym umakhala uli umbuli chabe,president ali ndi ma anual leave n ndi malawi Ali nayo distion even midnight who is u mr #Abam

    2. Osaopeza munthu apa.. this bwampini is killing malawi now. he dont know anything even to dress himself. I miss Bingu so much osati izi. kungoti mimba tiyetiye achimwene ali konko..

    3. All i know oga president or mr president leave the country alone a enough is enough. Allow the people to should the God fearing Man to rule them. You go tier to reply. Foolish man.

    1. Maya azabwera ndi ndani sazabwera ndi thumba la chimanga pa khomo pako,,kma ulimbikire mwaiwe mwini pogwira mpini ndiwo m’godi wathu kuno ku malawi

    2. I work hard that is the reason I am better as I am.but what sucks is when those who just seat like him are very much eager to steal from us who work through dubious taxes.
