Chiefs

Chiefs in the country have said that it is important to tell Malawians what Electoral Reforms Bills are before pushing government on the matter.

Prominent chiefs such as Ngolongoliwa , Kyungu , Kawinga and Lukwa have accused Public Affairs Committee (PAC) of pushing government too much without enough public awareness on the Electoral Reforms Bills.

Senior Chief Ngolongoliwa
Senior Chief Ngolongoliwa: Has faulted PAC. 

In a petition to the Speaker of Parliament Richard Msowoya and President Peter Mutharika, chiefs led by Paramount Ngolongoliwa asked the speaker and president to hold the tabling of the bills to pave way for more public awareness.

According to the chiefs, Malawi cannot afford a 50+1 presidential election system because of the economic hardships affecting Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC).

Themba Mkandawire who is lawmaker for Blantyre City Centre received the petition at the august house on behalf of the speaker.

The religious grouping PAC has slated 13th December as the day it will hold peaceful countrywide demonstrations because government failed to table the bills in parliament before 29th November, 2017.

  21. Lot people in our country re illiterate education wise, then politics came while the majority were still uneducated. Today Chiefs re begging the Parliamentarians to go and teach their people about ” Electoral Reforms” b4 they vote into ” Law”. This is good signs from the Chiefs of understanding the ” Constitution”. Therefore, we need to support our Chiefs, inaddition to: Parliament must visits the people and teach them the real function of this house.

  26. This trend has been practiced since slavery days but change still happened.

    During Muluzi regime when there was a task force of Chiefs which included Inkosi Mberwa, Kaomba, Lukwa and others who were used to campaign for third term.

    During one party regime mafumu were used to campaign for one party state. They denounced multipartism.

    During slave trade some chiefs were selling their people for salt, sugar ndi zina

    During colonialism, some chiefs were procolonialists.

    Change is coming and its inevitable…

  37. I thought you chiefs are subjects of the people? Seek the knowledge yourself and communicate to the people, or inunso simukudziwa so why say no chinthu chimene simukuchidziwa????? Kkkkkk

  60. We already know what electoral reforms bills are all about . If those chiefs are ignorant about the same, then they are ones to be civic educated. Komanso mafumu ake adyera ngati amenewo who wud take them seriously. These pple love money alot and hopefully dpp is behind all this move. Tell those greedy chiefs that if politicians can manage to loot billions of govt money, how wud they fail to provide money for elections.

  87. Useless!. Malawians are very intelligent. The moment bills are discussed in Parliament,they learn.
    The present system was also said to be difficult to understand before 1994. But we learnt and voted.
