Let us face reality with kabaza: Let them get regulated

Dear judge Mbadwa,

My lord, we have now come to agree that Tokha Are Liars have embraced the kabaza economics because it basically defines their way of doing business-—the haphazard kabaza way.

As I am speaking my lord, they have just made peace with a group of lawless motorcyclists who have in the past refused to register their motorcycles and follow the Highway Code.

This is a group that has been responsible for the deaths or serious injuries of so many innocent passengers because of their recklessness on the roads of Nyasaland.

How they were being treated with kid gloves is something that has been bothering me for a long time.

My lord, you know that the kabaza folk follow their own regulations just as the Tokha Are Liars’ modus operandi.

In a country where the authorities, from both civil society and government, manage by impulse, the kabaza is surely characteristic of the politics and the economy Nyasaland propagates.

The Sienta economy of Mapuya was something else, but Sientas are no longer in vogue though I hear Mapuya wants them back on the road because he feels Nyasas have been let down by Lazaro’s kabaza.

How he feels he is entitled to return without offering something new apart from saying “because Tokha has failed you, I am your only option” is subject for another day.

But we have seen that it is the prospect of making close to K76 billion from the kabaza motorcyclists that government has decided to come down from its ivory tower and face reality.

We cannot continue to babysit kabazas because we are afraid we will lose potential votes. My lord, I would rather take decisive action for the sake of the future of the country instead of pleasing a certain section of society.

My lord, let the authorities for once stop being kabaza leaders who will do everything to bend the laws, rules and regulations or standard practice for convenience’s sake.

We will not be called a kabaza economy if we stop answering to the demands of the mob, instead of the needs of the population.

Unfortunately, nobody is ready to graduate from this kabaza mentality for political expediency.

My lord, I know in political parlance some interest groups are more equal than others, but I subscribe to principles that promote fairness.

Let the kabaza register their vehicles and pay tax like the rest of us. Nyasaland ndi wokomera tonse.

Regards,

John Citizen.
