Grabbing the Bull by its horns: The Planned Economic Emancipation of Malawian Masses on my mind....

Madam President, Congratulations are in order.....Politics are not my forte, only one thing is my demand while you are in office.....the empowerment of the indigineous population......this is no racist proposition, it is a plea to put a proud Nyasa people on even keel with investors that have long had the advantage of better banking access, better formulated business plans etc.....I do not wish to see my people in pepertual cycles of servitude and economic desperation which seems to be the current direction, no madam no, it is a truly torturous thought......I do not wish to explain to my children how we became estranged from our ancestral lands.....no Madam no......only one wee wish your excellency: indigenous equity participation in the most complex form in all commercial ventures, tea plantations included.....to control in a way illegal capital flight......to avoid investors that pack and go overnight......to finally truly economically empower the local citizenry and avoid us singing empty national anthem wishes ......to allow true participation in the profits that flow to enabling disposable and discretionary income .......and another little thing Your Excellency, lets sober up the land madness, this issue of mad prices of land will take us nowhere......we can have no proud Malawian man who is unable to provide a home for his family....... and another little thing Your Excellency: pavements for the real masses that make the towns work, folks from Chilomoni, Ndirande who walk to work etc., these folks have to endure the rugged sidewalks of the Kamuzu era dilapidated sidewalks, arriving in town with considerable dust "mileage" deposits on their footwear on a lighter note (thats the Tonga in me speaking); more importantly the comfort of the poor masses Your Excellency- How can we ensure that? can future designers of roads ensure that there is room for both cyclists and pedestrians, as the absence of this at the design stage, results in a constant fight for the scarce resource: the all important Malawi paved road, a nightmare for drivers and perhaps a source of unnecessary accidents...... I beg you Your Excellency in this noisy din where we have all become smart adviser(s).......this time round let us be pro-poor first, then we will see a growth in the middle income sector, a rise in national savings, true economic empowerment to the masses.......Free medication for the over 65 Your excellency in a quasi welfare state approach.....now these for me are truly orgasmic thoughts.....
