Chakwera emphasizes on importance of education

By Chisomo Phiri

President Lazarus Chakwera has emphasized the importance of a morally-upright labor force if the country is to achieve its aspirations.

Chakwera was speaking at Mzuzu Auction Floors on Friday where he was presiding over the 16th congregation of the University of Livingstonia.

At the ceremony, the President also acknowledged the University’s adoption of the national drive for development, as well as its complementing shorter-term blueprints.

The Malawi leader pledged his administration’s support for graduates from both public and private universities through various government initiatives.




” My administration pledges to support graduates from both public and private universities through the many government initiatives in place, “said Chakwera.

He concluded his long speech by congratulating all UNILIA graduates, urging them to use their education to contribute to the nation’s development.

The graduation saw 817 graduands from all the four university’s campuses graduating.

The University of Livingstonia has been operational for two decades and has aligned its programs with the Malawi2063.

The war on corruption intensifies as Chakwera asks his troops to work together

By Sylvester Chibwana

We are all witnesses of seasonal and time changes, but one thing which has remained unchanged is the resoluteness of President Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera to root out corruption from the face of Malawi.

Chakwera’s decision to convene an interagency meeting is one of many examples of his determination in the fight against the vice.
On Wednesday, the Malawi leader invited the Secretary to the President and the Cabinet Colleen Zamba, the Attorney General Thabo Chakaka Nyirenda, the Director of Public Prosecution Masauko Chamkakala and the Director General of the Anti-Corruption Ms. Martha Chizuma at Kamuzu Palace.

According to President Chakwera’s twitter page, the four leaders were summoned to remind them the need of collaborative efforts in the battle against corruption.
‘’I convened an interagency meeting yesterday and reminded them to collaborate in the fight against corruption. I urged Minister of Justice, SPC, AG, DPP, and DG of ACB to be guided by the sovereign administrative and legal statutes above anything else,’’ read the tweet.

As the saying goes that a stitch in time saves nine, President Chakwera’s decision to bring together heads of these agencies is a good thing which will salvage what is left of the fight against graft because there has been little progress in recent times in as far as the anti-graft fight is concerned as some of these agencies were at loggerheads.

According to media reports, there was bad blood between the former DPP Steve Kayuni and Ms. Chizuma and they could not see eye to eye, a development which almost choked the war on corruption. Now that Kayuni is out of the picture and the coming in of Chamkakala coupled with what seems to be the recommissioning of these people to go and fight corruption by President Chakwera, Malawians will see a more coordinated approach to the fight against corruption.

President Chakwera’s decision to convene an interagency is one of many of his relentlessness in fighting corruption.

Malawi expecting trade boom following the enhancement of buy Malawi strategy

By Wadza Botomani

Those people in manufacturing businesses such as furniture, alcoholic beverages, leather and food related materials should hope for a wider smile because the Buy Malawi strategy is no longer a just laughing matter.

For a long time Buy Malawi strategy has been used as a campaign tool by the previous regimes.

However the Malawi leader President Chakwera has spoken with vigour and energy that the behavior of buying everything outside the country leaving out our own manufacturing industry folding their companies is now water under the bridge.



“In March last year, I spoke about the need to support the local industry by encouraging the local buying of materials for Government officers such as police uniforms. Yet just last week, uniforms for police officers were captured at the airport, which means some in our midst do not take this policy seriously.

“But the policy remains in force. Unless you have a special waiver from my office, the procurement of uniforms by Government from outside the country is banned forthwith. I also order the Ministry of Trade and Industry to release a full list of products subject to a similar ban,” said Chakwera.

The Malawi Leader has since discouraged the behaviour of exporting more legumes without tracking its forex.

“Another Ministry that we will
leverage to transform our economy into a productive one is Trade and Industry. It is not acceptable that Malawi exports huge volumes of crops such as legumes to our neighbouring countries and beyond
with little to no forex coming back into our economy.

“To reverse this trend, I have appointed a new Minister of Trade and Industry to work jointly with other agencies in deploying a rapid strategy that tracks the exportation of produce, while my Administration continues to make progress in establishing a digital platform for marking and tracking all commodities
traded in our economy,” the President told Parliament.
