Lilongwe based political analyst Loudon Malingamoyo Phiri has warned the Malawi vice president Saulos Chilima and the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) for the introduction of fees in government owned schools and abolishment of Junior Certificate of Education (JCE) citing it will play a role in the 2019 elections.

In an interview with Malawi24, Malingamoyo Phiri said the reforms in education sector will affect many poor Malawians who have the power of votes.

He uttered that the development will be an advantage to the opposition parties in the 2019 general elections since it will affect those from the grass root.

His remarks come after the abolishment of JCE and introduction of fees in schools which Chilima claims its part of the “Reforms” in education sector and is the head of the committee.

Chilima with President Mutharika get drilled.

“There are no doubts that some of opposition parties will take this as an opportunity to win the votes in 2019 elections. This is 2015 and there is four more years ahead. Government should properly inform its cabinet on this. When people get misinformed they lose trust in government and it becomes another party’s opportunity,” stated Malingamoyo Phiri.

However, he commended the government saying the abolishment will serve resource used spent on administration and printing of examinations.

According to Malingamoyo Phiri, JCE is hardly used when applying for a job. He urged Malawians to concur with the government since the resources served will be used in other service delivery.

He explained, “JCE is no longer in use in Malawi. You can hardly find place where they are saying that when somebody is applying for a job should have JCE or PSLCE. This is not bad because government is trying to make sure that there is cost serving of tax payer’s money. Government shouldn’t be criticised much on this issue because there are many big issues that the government is not doing good.”

Despite free Primary Education and loan in state Universities, Malawi’s education system been hampered by problems of poor access, high repetition and dropout rates, poor infrastructure and inequality. For the past decades, ruling governments Government of Malawi has failed to make education, particularly primary education, and top priority.

Meanwhile government has been advised to increase the equity of public spending in education by increasing allocation of public resources to primary education as a way of easing the constraints on the demand for education faced by poor households

  43. The problem Mr Phiri is that you are looking at the employment side alone in your argument. Obviously when employers are looking to employ someone in supervisory and managerial positions, they would be looking at the highest qualification for that position. But these stages that were put in the education ladder are meant to motivate the learners in their progression towards the highest qualification. Your argument implies that you we can as well do away with stages like standard 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or certificate, diploma, degree, masters, PHD etc. This is a disaster similar to the free primary education introduced by Muluzi and trust me, it will lead to dwindling standards in education further. Mark my works….

  47. To me No commet chifukw nde sindikuwonapo amene akuyankhula dzazelu .i lik muzic its bettr to be buzy kumavera nyimb…. Eeee Ginjah yoo amatha akut Cricis….

  49. am nt 2much worried with this xul fees raisement,bt am concerned with their academic programes that there ‘ll be no jce,that’s kind of demolishin’ concetration,bcoz students ‘ll only be examed at a higher level like that form four and this class need more preparation like that jc exams and i see that malawi ‘ll ‘ve more educated people bt with no certificates,i think these guyz are wise enough to full malawians.let come 2019 and bye wisemen

  50. As an educant my view is the abolishment JCE will do more harm than good. JCE has a great impact in the learning continuam at Secondary School. Tikuphunzitsa fuko ndife akanatifunsa

  51. Bomali ndilakuba basi! Even though they have increased taxes & abolish JCE in the name of saving government money nothing will change on the ground! Kuti mupite kumudzi ana amalephera kupita ku xool chifukwa cha njala, what more akayamba kulipilitsa? In 50yrs to come tizakhala ndi Mw otani?

  53. I’m tired with demostrations that bring nothin to MW. Ziomberani mmanja poti mu ndi tindalama koma dziwani kuti makolo anu anali a nzeru koma analephera kuphunzira mukawafunse chifukwa chake. Nthawi imene makolo anu adalephera school ndi nthawinso yomwe a president adaphunzira chifukwa makolo awo adali bola agogo anu.

    Ili ndi dziko zinthu zimatembenuka mmene inu simumaganizira, fees idzikhala ikukwera pofika 2020 mbali inayi chilala ndi umphawi.

    Maganizo a chizimayi amamuuza mamuna kuti agule fridge ngakhale alibe chilichonse chifukwa a NEBA ali nayo… Zambia and neighbouring countries sadalira ulimi wa fodya. Ali ndi migodi nanga kuno?

    Mwina munabandwa nthawi ya Democracy, muzifunse kuti anthu adasangalala bwanji pamene kudalengezedwa kuti primary fees yatha? Inuyonso muzifunse kuti kodi makolo anu aja akadakwanitsa kukulipilirani fees nonse kwanu kuja? Steel we have anthu omwe akanika kufika form 4 pa CDSS chifukwa cha fee.

    Zikazathina musazati “tiyeni tikayende” ine ayi. Bola ndakuuzani.

    2. I always think of people below my capability and accesibility as well as tomorrow… Malawi’s highest population is based in remote villages where more votes are casted, the same time they are victims of their own fingers. Lets not be greedy, think of those who live in a thorny livelihood who are millions in Malawi.

  57. DPP APM z tripple stupid & APM z lyk a chicken without head, Peter has completely failed Malawians who now have been reduced to economic slaves & our Country to Economic Hostage. DPP APM has totally failed to achieve its paper policies on Education, Agriculture & Healthy & Economy of this Country. Instead,now the Big Goat z trying to abolish JCE & planning on introducing expensive fees in Primary Xool. The best thing that We shud do z impeach this Ruler within 15 dayz for completely failing to fulfil his duties in high office. APM deserves a HELLO & DPP a BIG WOE!

  58. Iz not rit to say dat malawians wr lazy no, here in africa if there iz people hu iz working had for not waiting som1 to come n giv somthing luk at south africans they r very lazy bt they get beneffit from goverment anaything my if u come here n c pipo they gettng more 4 mahala

  60. National interests first thats the way it should be. There is nothing wrong about the fees if and only if your thinking is up-to-date.

  63. @ daniel masanduko kusiyana ndi MCP 1 inali one party system thawio tinazolowela kulipila xool ya 1to 3kwacha ana asecondary amkawapatsa ma warrant oyendela kumakwela buss yaulele education was gud an strong thawi ino tinazolowela kuti primary ndiyaulele Daniel ndizambili boma la MCP linali kuchita bwino pathawio osati za chipani chakochi uti dpp

  64. Its Funny Hw Some People Use Their So Called Medula Oblangatas By Saying Malawians Are Lazy.Hw Can One Work Hard If There Is No Job For Him Hw Can One Pay 30000 For Xul Fees When He/she Is Getting 20000 A Month,no We Are Nt Lazy.Most Of Us Work Day And Night In Industries And Get Peanuts A Month Some Just Sit Behind The Desk Signing Checks And Get Phwamwamwa Amonth For That.Who Is Lazy Here?Zamkutu.Kukweza Fees Aonjezeleso Malipilo Si Nkhani Imeneyo.

    1. Sichimodzimodzi ndi MCP nthawi ya Kamuzu,ndalama inali yamphamvu,teachers were hardworking bcoz,were paid @ the right time, motivation to them,was there.My poor fellow Malawian, our education standard graph is further descending steeply.

  67. what i know is that every man has power to resist to any challenge put on we ll work and find fees 4 my boughter if you dont know malawi is poor because we dont want to take risks you know what ngatikhuku ya local yiku gulinsidwa 4000 what if you have 100 but u will find someone in village has no even 1 yet

  68. Then u have to create jobs osatinso anthu akamaliza xool adzisowanso ntchito chonsecho awononga ndalama zambiri pamaphunziro awo- BULSHIT!!!

  70. You can’t abolish JC exams simply because the gvnt does not have money, may you find another sensible reason plz

    1. Thats what i also tell people that abolishment of jc exams shudnt be money but the need for it to be abolished; is it reaaly necessary to be abolished?

  71. It is better to pay fees than always asking development fees now and then,am saying because if parson know that my child wil need fees each and every term wl be able to do the budget of fees while development it is un prepared may every month.

  72. kodi simunaziwebe kuti andalewa ndi asatanic cholinga chawo ndi kuzuza anthu osauka? zanu izo ife ndale “kumanzere”

  73. Mmmmmmmm! Koma anthu enanu mumafuna azikuamimikani ndani? Tele pali nkhani yoti mungape pusile nzanu yapa? Nditelo kuti nthawi zina kukhala osaankhapo pankhani zina ndiulemu waukulu kusiana nkunyoza anzanu. Iwe amene ukudzitcha Godfrey ndimaona ngati sunagwilise ntchito bwino pakamwa pako, ndipo ndidzina lako ndizolankhula zako mmmm zikusiana kutali, ngati sukudziwa tanthauzo ladzina lako pepa, sunaenela kumalankhula zonyoza ngati zimene ukunena apazi, panopa kuli ufulu wolankhula ndizoona koma sizikutanthauza kuti ufulu wanuwo wina asowe nawo mtendele, iwe moti sukuziwa kuti panopa zafika poipa ndipo ma fees amene akunenedwa apawa ndangati amene akwanise kulipilila ana awo? Ngati mukuona kuti zili bwino ukanangoamikila zokhazo kusiana ndizomwe wachita apazi. Kwa ena zili bwino pamene kwa ena sizili bwino. Uziganiza kaye usanaambe kunyoza aixe ndi Dziko ili!!!

  74. Malawi is indeed a very poor country so we say; it has both rich and poor people. Very few people in Malawi are rich although majority of them have no money. Poverty is not about living without money because some of the poor people have a lot money. In other words money in wrong hands; some educated and some uneducated all flocking together in the same line of thought. Education makes no difference; imagine a political analyst as I hear he “has warned the Malawi vice president Saulos Chilima and the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) for the introduction of fees in government owned schools and abolishment of Junior Certificate of Education (JCE) citing it will play a role in the 2019 elections” That’s the whole reason why the whole political analyst should warn somebody. It’s about whether policy direction is good or bad. Whether we should help Malawians to understand its rationale. Poverty yes, but education has to be paid for. Even if we said USD1 per year, it would make a difference. Such educated people who put forward this conations are poor indeed. They worked hard in class and so they soared high in their careers with no meaningful purpose in life. May God forgive such!

  75. We want a security guard at least with a Junior Certificate of Education & three years experience; Who said JC has lost its value? This goverment is run on try & hear what people will say; What has these reforms brought when we are still suffering? In case you dont know many indians are closing their shops in Bwalo la ndjovu area in Lilongwe & going to Mozambique, becoz the kwacha is loosing its value everyday;

  77. That’s why we are still one of the poorest countries on the land.there is no way we can expect good results from such a cheepest school fee.These reforms are good for better Malawi.Free education distalted everything as far as quality edu. is concerned.We hav to sweat for us to get good things.2019 BOMA

  86. it is a falacy to say the govt don’t hv money. can’t you see the cake for malawi i being shared disproportionaly. the politicians are just greedy to the poor.

  87.

  88. There r people in the remotest areas of Malawi who r peasants they cant even manage to pa fees @primary sch.sometimes we comment without knowing the other side of life.

  89. No any negative move done by DPP-led goverment can in any way affect their political success because truthfully they did not win the elections yet they were regarded successful by MEC with the aid of so-called judicial judges or courts. Let them mess up every thing as much as they can,there is one voter who will remove them from their throne shamefuly like the previous late king.

    1. U can not compare zambia ndi walawi maphunzilo kuzambia ndi poor as well as economy.

  91. Mr malingamoyo can u tell us which poor people are u trying to tell us? pay xool fees is it a new think to you are you trying u don’t even pay xol fees for your own children?

    1. you can’t give a warning to VP? Who are You!!! You Guyz you to kt apa ndi pa Social Media or you can can speak like jokes koma dziwani kt ???

  101. Mavuto munthu akakalisa kunja amayesa wopambana kuposa amene awa peza. Let Malawians have good education. Don’t lower our standards for the benefit of your pockets. Enjoying without thinking of the poor. Kukwela ndege nkalamba zosadziwa ABC instead of looking after the welfare of the people.

  103. Now the name MSCE Certficate should be abolish as well instead we must call it (SCE) SENIOR CERTFICATE OF EDUCATION..IN ORDER TO GIVE IT STRENGTH AND VALUE TO AFOREIGN COUNTRIES

  104. me nah vote again coz me nah wat this so called goverment of malawi is doing for its pipo maybe i hve 2 remind u this is malawi so stop comparing us to some countries goverment issues needs brains not selfish pipo lyk u

  116. Mmm koma anthu ena kuxipopa azanu ayamba kuyenda m’mwanga ngati yesu anthu amene samagwila ntchito dzikolino ndani ngati mumapeza kangachepe yamikani mulungu azanu akadafundabe chipiloni opanda mphasa pamaboma onse ndikuti kumene kuli macompany oti anthu akwafuna azikagwila ntchito koma anthu ndalesi safuna kugwila ena amafuna koma zikwasowa

  117. If u got money,just send ur child to a Private school.Let there be afree primary Education for the Rular masses.Remember this:Education is one of the most intriguing aspects of Life in Malawi.Yes i can say it hectically.If u happen to enjoy achocolate Eclair in your Life,u must also think that there re thousands of poor families out there.Judging by my quaint description of the introducton of fees in govt primary xools,this is as rediculous as it seems.The president,His deputy and Ministers,are swanning around in expensive cars with large blue light Convoys because of the poor people who went to the polling stations as early as 4 am to cast out their votes.So is this what they voted for? This Dpp’s Leadership thinks the communities would gleefly support such views?Timeous consultation on key issues such as this one affecting the poor Malawians,is one big way to improve the situation.Yes quiet bizaree in away and i knw i’ve hit on something that is more human than Malawish,Both the president and his Ministers must put their heads to shame.Time will come bt My fellow journalist late Komla Dumor once worked for the BBC said and i quote;Hire the best talent to tell the story,”he concluded.

  119. Paying school fees and abolishing examinations will not solve malawi’s economy .
    Boma likanangopanga zoti ana ku sukulu adziphunzirako ma skills , osati mwana alipire school fees ndiye adziphunzira za Dr David livingstone akamaliza sukulu angamulembe ntchito ndani?

  120. The so-called reforms are meant to benefit the well-able class of people thereby keeping on widening the gap between the rich and the poor, the educated and the uneducated. We call upon the so-called visionary leadership of Mutharika to critically adress the needs of the local masses and not his (their) personal gains!

  122. If the officials were creative in minds i gues dis cudn’t hv bn there buh 4 the selfshnes in them thats the only cause of dis mis4tune_

    Muzganiza Kangapo Prior 2 any act

  123. Zinazi kumaganiza koma! guess akuluakuluwa mitu yayima ndithu,ofcourse boma lilibe ndalama komabe anakawona machitidwe ake not kupanga means as mene anapangiramu ayi nanga imagine some national xuls people were paying K12000-K35000 am not sure on that koma kukweza up to K85000 thus so horrible kumaganizira anthu ena koma and kusiyitsa kwa PSLCE and JCE mmmmmmm I think these people are Crazy somehow am sorry if ndalakwitsa koma the thing is chabwino maybe anakachotsa JCE’yo koma PSLCE anakayisiya coz that is the bridge to secondary xul….

  145. APM might be a poor president politically coz many wud think he will not make it again come 2019. However, once the rofrms bear fruits he will be a hero economically coz its only economically minded pipo who can thank him for effecting the reforms now i will salute APM if he removed a political eye when he came up with those reforms basi everything in malawi zingokhala free?

And in Malawi how many people can afford to pay such money? Here it means education in Malawi is for those who are rich ( Malawi wanga)

  154. Dont Pretend That We Didn’t Know. APM Openly Told Us During Campaign That He Appointed Chilima(businessman) To Run Govt As A Business.If Not Run In That Way, The Govt Will Stop Functioning A Thing That Will Cause More Insults To The Leader.The Only Problem Is The %age At Whch The Fees Have Been Hiked.

  181. I’m poor but I’m agree to pay xool fees for my dota because Malawi government doesn’t hv money apart for this Malawians we are lazy we dnt want to work hard in our country but wen were in foreign country we du take hard labour without complain!wake up malawi

    18. Yayatia am with u in ur reasoning hey a malawi lets face it how long are we going to dance to the tune that we are poor? Mutukwaneni thangatayo but one day when u develop an economic eye, and not a political eye, u will clap hands for APM! Zambiri in malawi is free how can we develop? How many people are responsible with the free services given to them?

    19. While expressing your support for the reforms, you should also remember that you have only one kid who attends school unlike other poor people with five kids or even more which obviously increases the school fees much further. The introduction of school fees will mainly affect the poorest, you as well may be poor but if you’re welcoming these reforms then i don’t think you’re as poor as you claim

    21. lyk in china thy did 2 its fine the one in village hving 6 sorry for them look even HIv its too much in location then why shuld I support free education family planning needed

    22. buddy I’m here in Malawi not overseas this is my home God gave me warm heart of Africa together we can move malawi in a better standard

    28. Stop sounding dumb, some families may have two biological children but still may end up with five or more children from either their deceased brothers or sisters.

    32. Yayatia Thangata i think mau amenewa ukungonena iwe kuli umphawitu ku mamidziku tayesa kukayankhula mau amenewa ku midzi ngati sakakukanganila

    44. Tell us where the govt.left the money! Do u know that 22 billion vanished in the name of buying educational materials at the Ministry of Education? And guess who was the minister then?

    47. kkkist are u poor? its gud and fyn here in malawi and indeed u can afford paying schol feez but pliz be considerate to the poorest malawians who are not poor like u but poorest and just lacking food again.

    48. hope Malawi is developing country so du u want us to beg every time from outside the country? ??i ever heard that malawi is poor those days and asked gadafi kenya while malawi depend in farming? ??bingu came we fed zimbabwe

    52. Basi a Malawi anzanga mudangozolowera kulembedwa ntchito ndi boma kpanea ma company en boma likapanda kulemba anthu ntchito kuyamba kulitukana coz chomwe mudaika m’maganizo mwanumo ndichoti muzakhala pa ntchito osati inuyo nanunso ndi timaphunziro tomwe mudapangato muzalembeko ntchito anzanu lero ndiizi mungomunena APM zambirimbiri coz mukungodikilira boma likupezeleni ntchito wakeup brothers en sisters hmmm.

    53. So u agree with Bingu ,,he says we dont have cash for Education but he take 100 something of his cronies and family to New York for the UN conference using a private jet for himself ,. No JCE exams ? What fvckery is that ? Aint he supposed to be pushing for 1st class education ,wasn’t this ignoramous a proffessor in the US ? I say having a PHd or Masters doesn’t make one Smart ,Even Muluzi was better and i dont belong to any Party ,,Malawians we are so stupid these Politicians take us for granted ,Any other country he would be out of office by now ,,Kugona aMalawi

    54. God must talk thru u dnt jst say things bcoz u will manage to do it think of the poor nwai this is wat the pple of malawi wanted so no wonder.

    56. nobadai!!I’m cming from rule area then I know wat I’m saying God pick me from thre to be at this level bcz confidence not negative esteem

    57. pushing for one class in wat way you mike zip? ??has aiso my history to reach whr I’m today my mum used to be chased at xool because of mk 300 but her mum make away for the dota to get education

    58. that time hope kamuzu was thre you pple dnt take a chance bcz thre is freedom think if you were the one in peters shoes munakathanizatu ma sisters anu ndi mabrothers anu basi

    61. idont think yaya u r realy in rural area,iave seen pple failing to 4350 in community day schools so hw cn one manage to pay ten grand and @ de same time pay fr the little one @ plimary??shame on u???

    62. Honest!so you tell me free education s wat you need while the government is failing to pay its credits outside malawi shuld borrow money up to wen without refund shame on you too brother forcus we used to pay school fees during kamuzu including cards it was much better

    65. Not all poor people are lazy. To be poor it doesn’t mean one does not work hard. Know that some people struggle to get K200 for making flour at the maize mill.

    66. black the tape has two side A&B simple ukaipa ziwa nyimbo God always make a way thy hv way forward for their sustain!!!I told you my granny use to sale kachaso for my mum to go to xool together wt her brothers if I’m lying this ask Hon.Lucius Banda will explain more

    68. #Yayatia,Malawians have very weak blood.the problem isn’t laziness but their reasoning skill is very poor.iwo chomwe amadziwa ndichakuti ndianthu omvetsa chisoni kkkkkkkk.

    69. #yaya looking at your grammar it just shows how shallow you are,all your explanations are lacking sense in them,no wonder you make such judgements on critical national issues like this.

    75. kkkkkk see what Debbie has written?instead of paying attention to facts she’s paying att to grammar.this dumbness is what is pulling Malawi down.

    80. Chawulele mchiyani pa Malawi ukanena kuti we r lazy? Apusiwa ngati akumadula msonkho even ndi Ku ma units komwe iwe uziwombela mmanja¿ kodi potenga boma mesa paja mkalankhula kwambiri kuti Ali ndi nzeru?

    81. Yayatia Thangata my Darling, it’s not that we are working hard in the foreign countries, but our bloody stupid and selfish government can’t afford us,,,,,,,, they do nothing apart from sitting on their computers and drinking coffees,,,, the reality is, the foreign countries we are in, they manage us no matter how hard work they give us,,,,,,,,,,,, speaking of demolition of our only hope of JCE, we have no where to go and it oz our only hope for tomorrow……………… Reformations in government xools will never be a successful story because the steps he has taken to manipulate the poorest of the poor does not satisfy a citizen of this country……….. I can assure you, and I will assure you, this man has no brains and he is a bloody idiot with his title of Professor…… It doesn’t work like that………………….. He doesn’t listen to the voices of the poor and homeless because he has been overseas all his life and come to malawi to become the President…..

      Let me tell you, the only person who can rule malawi and listen to us(the poor) is like Bakili muluzi………….. We need a leader who understands the back ground of being poor do that he/she can handle our tax payers money well without overspending on taking the whole village with them, buying a 47 million car when a country is facing financial crisis, selling Malawians Bank to the individual……..
      It’s about time our votes must count, not just listen,,,,,, we are paying him, vice president, ministers, members of parliament,,,,, a lot of money, plus that, they need overtime,, just look at the theory, if these guys can focus on getting their salaries only, how many billions of kwachas can we save? How many homeless children can we send to xool? How many text books can we buy? Now, the TTCs have graduates, but still they haven’t been recruited, tell me, with all the overtime the ministers, president, MPs are making per day, how many teachers can we enroll? Sometimes it’s of the great importance to understand the moves of a leader before backing them……..

    83. u r lyn ,hw cn da govnment hv money to go n dance outside da country isted of takn mon n help in xulz n hosptals,kumalimbana ndizipanda pake iya am nt agree

    84. kamtudzi I’m not backing them please but our government can not afford look at South African sali paumphawi. and thy are lazy pple amadilira mafolenas agwire ntchito stil school amalipira kuli athu ovutikaso more than ife ndawaona ndi maso anga wo!koma still athu akupita kusukulu!to be honest rite nw I’m paying school fees for another boy who is going to community secondary xool. so shuld I cry!!!!or I need to work hard for that boy to go to xool

    85. Malawians wake up for God sake. Do you know where donor money comes from? it comes from people in there countries. How long shall we remain begers? Self reliance is not a simple thing, it comes with hush actions. The problem with most of people in the coutry is they have minds of chicken, want to live for today alone. Shame mostly to you here who are young but no vision. Shame

    93. we are not lazy bro…. even when we work extra hard or not, we’ll alwayz get underpaid.. look at wat other countrys paiys for a curtain qualification either a diploma or a degree! and compare it with how much the government pays…. its even 1thirds! so how would one be motivated to work hard here in Malawi thus no wonder we malawians work hard wen we go outside malawi coz we are compasated for… coming to the topic, introducing fees payment is a joke,,,, look at malawi in the next 5-10 years, where do u picture iliteracy rate?? (it will be very high) coz even now many people fail to go to colleges coz of fees thus they get poor jobs only enough to hav hand to mouth payment…. so with fees payment in secondary many wont manage even to go or reach secondary coz of it hence reteracy rate will be high… it was thoughtfull for government to offer free for this institutions back in the fresh days of malawi………. introducing fees payment wanst the best sollution there is considering we r already loosing our already litle moneys for transport prices & taxes (the are hiked)

    94. U toking rubbish u prositute. How dare can u agree with while other people can’t afford to pay even K 1000. U r angel of devil if not u r really mad

    96. Iwe Mbuli How Can You Say Such Stupid Thing You Claime To Be Yet You’r On Fb Tolking Nonses You’r Not Poor But I Pray To GOD To Show How To Be Poor

    98. Blind pple can’t u C dat hardworkin citizens do receive low salaries yet ur govt iz bizy hiking everything including fees,tax,,, .wher do they think de citizens wil get de stated money from?Y can’t they revise evry1’s salary first? why saying minimum wage is 17.8 when cost of livin iz high? U#yayatia & #Brian shd wake up!follow actions on de ground buddy don’t rush talkin trush

    110. Free services always/mostly produce poor results, we (Malawi) have free education n health services but look at the services these things provide to us citizens, during Kamuzu era we use to pay for these things and we had good and better services in return as value for our money paid for the services. We simply don’t have to rely on the government to take the responsibility of everything in our country, No!! that’s why people are just incubating nowadays with hope that the government will educate their offsprings due to such reasons it is causing most people to be mentally handicapped so as why we are still poor for we are limited in our thinking capacity.If Malawi is to grow economically we have to eradicate the of governmental reliance if that will be the case everybody will be fully responsible for his/her offerings in so doing people will work for support of their families.

    112. binali its wat you think about me thank u buddy inebe will support the point tilipile basi dzikoli litukuke basi ngati uli wazeru tenga mwana ku mudzi uzimuthandiza as i did ndilinaye wanga ku mulipirela sukulu ndie ndife bcz mr president wabwera ndi payments of xool fees ng’a i need to work hard inorder to pay for the boy
