Political activist Bon Kalindo, has accused the authorities of hiking Malawi Housing Corporation ( MHC) houses describing the development as very worrisome to the poor people renting in these houses.
Kalindo said most of these houses have two bedrooms, the occupants are maintaining the houses by themselves and MHC is coming with high rental fees beyond the reach of the poor people.
He said the hiking of rental fees in the Malawi Housing Corporation (MHC) houses is speaking to itself that government is doing business on its poor people and has no welfare of the citizens.
Speaking through an audio clip, Kalindo has expressed his concern that politicians in Parliament are the ones who have hiked the rental fees to punish the occupants who are their votes observing that some politicians are also staying in these houses.
In the audio clip, Kalindo has reported the state of affairs of Mulanje Mission Hospital to the General Secretary and all Reverends of Blantyre CCAP Synod to take action on some Doctors and Nurses who have forgotten their call to duty that they are making the hospital to become a death trap.
He said Mulanje Mission Hospital is no longer the Hospital as used to be in the previous years saying Doctors and Nurses are neglecting their duties claiming that the hospital has lost its color.
The activist said his research made at the hospital has proved that these Doctors and Nurses are complaining that the salaries they are receiving per month is not matching with today’s cost of living.
He said it is no wonder that some private hospitals are using unqualified medical personnel because they cannot afford paying high salaries to skilled personnel hence making health standards declining.
” Let’s give our Doctors and Nurses a good package to sustain their lives for them to be working comfortably,” he said
On a sad note, Kalindo has joined MDF soldiers who went to the peace-keeping mission in the DRC that they have allegedly been deducted K3 million each out of the whole K21 million which they were expecting to receive describing this development as very unacceptable.
Kalindo has faulted the MDF leadership for not fighting for the welfare of their officers questioning them for what use will the K3 million deducted from the soldiers go?
He said shame should go to MDF leadership for allowing their soldiers to receive K18 million each claiming that some officers have come back home with their arms and legs amputated, and others, wounded, advising the authorities to wear human faces when deducting money from these soldiers.
