Chakwera offers APM solutions
Leader of opposition Lazarus Chakwera has extended a rare helping hand to President Peter Mutharika by suggesting a five-step solution which the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) leader insists are the only way to help turn around the country’s fortunes.
Speaking during a press briefing held at his office at Parliament Building in Lilongwe, Chakwera suggested that separating the Anti-corruption Bureau (ACB) from the Executive arm of government could give power and independence for the ACB to investigate corruption by members of the Executive branch.
He said: “If Mutharika was serious about fighting corruption, he would have implemented this solution right now.”
He also suggested that government should create a special court in the Judiciary that will focus exclusively on corruption and fraud by public servants so that cases of stealing taxpayers’ funds are given priority and speedy conclusion.
Chakwera further advised Mutharika to suspend all top government officials who were at the helm of government ministries during the time money was siphoned from State coffers in what has come to be known as Cashgate until an independent investigation clears them of collusion in the corruption that resulted.
He, however, said passing the Access to Information Bill was another solution to expose all public officers with business interests that are using the State as a means to personal gain, and that those officers should be removed from office.
Chakwera, however, stated that Mutharika has failed Malawians because he is failing to live a modest lifestyle to make Malawi a secure place for investment.
According to Chakwera, the President has also failed his Vice-President Saulos Chilima because he has not maximised the youthful leader’s talents for progress.
And the man is growing.
See the solutions!
I love them.
My Advise and encouragement to Chakwera;
Stop crying forever. Remember the difference between Pulpit and Platform.
Politics favours politians who stops crying but concentrate on politics urself.
Everytime you come on air bring well thought points like the ones you just provided.
..stop being presumptuous, remove the pride when talking.
By and by Malawians will start taking you serious.
Come 2019, you will smile only if DPP’ssleep coz in Malawi both Voters and those seeking votes are stubborn. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5068864a259e3b414bdec4056cf68b8b7c0142bd611a13d48b2fa86b446bc016.jpg

Dealing with corruption is indeed key to salvaging this country! We are all aware that corruption (of any form) drains 30% of our moneys here and saving this is key to ensuring that we do not cry all the time when donors leave us! The 2016-2017 National Budget is worth over one trillion Kwacha. Taking out 30%, it means over K300 billion will be stolen by the time MPs meet again to pass another budget in June/July 2017! And this K300 billion is lots of money enough to completely solve the electricity crisis the country is going through! By comparison, the Millenium Challenge Account funding is worth $350 million (around K263 billion) – this means the money to be lost in the 2016-2017 financial year alone is more than enough to deal with what the MCA funding is attempting to address! Wake you DPP fools and seal the corruption holes to move this country forward
