A Malawian currently living in Singapore, Kondwani Kachamba Ngwira, has warned Malawians that Europeans eyes are on the country because of its precious minerals claiming that they are holding meetings after meetings to come to Malawi.
Kachamba Ngwira has claimed that the Europeans have of late learnt good news that Malawi has precious minerals and is one of the largest mineral deposits in the world appealing to the country’s leaders regardless of their political party affiliations to make sound decisions trading the minerals.
He says he is speaking this because as a citizen of Malawi he has seen that some government officials are doing things in a hurry observing that this has costed the country to buy fertilizers in a butchery, Bridgeview Foundation saying two to three top officials are involved in these shady deals.
Writing on his face book page, Kachamba Ngwira has claimed that top officials in government are behind making hurry decisions without making research or negligence but there are others who are experts.
Kachamba Ngwira has warned the country’s leaders that if they continue making hurry decisions without research, the country is being destroyed and it will take years to recovery and as such the future generations will found all the precious minerals gone to the highest bidders with nothing for Malawi as a country and its citizens.
He said the Europeans are good at corrupting two to three individuals to get a mining license and start taking billions and billions away from Malawi and after staying for long in the country, Malawians will realize that these guys have stolen a lot from them.
The citizen says due to their presence in the midst of Malawians making a lot of profit from the precious minerals as theirs, Malawians will be fighting amongst themselves and later, they will be assured of security in exchange of precious minerals.
“We have time now to develop sound mineral trade policies and tighten security, look at DRC today, they want their gold in exchange for international security, in Mozambique, Zimbabwe,” said Ngwira.
He has advised Malawian leaders to avoid closed door deals, exercise wider consultations, involve university councils in decision-making, the clergy, deliberate in Parliament, involve citizens’ civil society bodies, public podiums to get more insight and let main stream media conduct open call programmes.
Kachamba Ngwira has finally assured Malawians that he loves his country so much, he put his country first than everything he is dong every day, and being a patriot that is why he cannot keep quiet.
