President of the Republic of Malawi, I would realise the need to handle the issue of looting at Capital Hill with utmost care and seriousness because it has the potential to affect my bid to the 2014 polls.
If I were my good ‘ole mum that is JB, I would appreciate the need to get to the bottom of the issue as the nation is following the issue with keen interest and Malawians have the right to know what happened for the system to have such huge loopholes that led to a free-for-all plundering of government resources.
If only I were the first citizen, I would go deeper and make efforts to find out if there were any of my big shots involved; otherwise the recent arrests of ‘small fish’ such as accounts assistants is not inspiring and paints a picture of a government that is not keen to take senior government officials to task.
Yes mom, I might have raised the alarm on the matter by summoning my Minister of Finance Ken Lipenga five months ago, but I would appreciate that in a big crisis such as the Cashgate Scandal, there is more that needs to be done.
How I wish I were JB, because I would have returned home from the US earlier considering the seriousness of the issue at hand.
That is if I were you mum. Fortunately, I am just a poor scribe that is Garry!
