Mzuzu councillors have asked lawmakers to set minimum qualification for one to contest as a ward councillor in the city. This was discussed during the Mzuzu council’s last meeting which was conducted on Sunday, .
According to one of the councillors in the city, Yolam Mkandawire who is a ward councillor for Masasa ward, this is so considering the challenges they face due to insufficient knowledge of the position on the part of some councillors.
Mkandawire said it is very worrisome that most of the councillors fail to understand the technical language used by workers at the city assembly.
He added that councillors are also required to have knowledge on how they can report issues which affect people in the society. “We have not yet concluded the matter and it was being discussed at committee level. We want to bring to the assembly standard contributions by all the councillors.
“Many of the documents that we receive at the assembly are in English and in technical words. We need people who can articulate issues and have higher understanding and that is the reason why we are asking for the raise,” said Mkandawire.
He added that if the minimum qualification is set, it can help to have good leaders who can professionally work for their people. Currently in Malawi, there is no set qualification for one to contest as a councillor.

We have tried what you are saying before how old were you in 1994 and in 2004 any difference?
MEC has the mandate to come up with qualifications for such positions. If anything, it should not apply to Mzuzu councillors alone…rather the qualifications for such a position should be applied in all the districts.

Hello friends my name is Mathew Maketho I was one of those millions of people around the world suffering from HIV/AIDS and and i was healed through the help of DR Abumen I was diagnosed with HIV/AIDS in 2010, I had no hope and felt useless. All these negative feelings quickly suppressed my body immune system and my body started to deteriorate quickly with physical signs of rapid weight loss, my story began to change for good when i met DR Abumen through a woman’s testimony, he sent me an herbal medicine which i took for some days, after taking the medicine according to doctor’s instruction I went to the hospital to get my blood tested for HIV/AIDS. The doctors were amazed when my first blood test result came back negative. They asked me to go back again for another test, which I did and the result came back negative. The doctors could not believe still,To cut the story short, “DR ABUMEN HERBAL MEDICINE HEALED ME COMPLETELY WITHOUT A TRACE OF THE DEADLY HIV/AIDS VIRUS IN MY BLOOD” am so happy, am sharing this to the world to save some lives, believe me there is a cure, you can contact DR Abumen on his email address [email protected] and you can also call or whatsapp his number which is via +2347085071418.
