budget and the poor.

Pope · Guru

most of our Mps backgrounds are contributing to that.We can only achieve if the rural masses are taught about the budget,what it is and how do they benefit or support it.But who is to do that donkey work of educating the rural....its an Mp and he doesnt want to go to the village.We have a gap that has to be filled.

Policies in the budget has to cater for the poor and support rural investment.We should not rush to buy speedcam when our schools are dilapidated,when our labs in schools has no test tubes.Uneducated society is a poor society.

we would rather have our budget presented in both languages so that most mps may contribute.

true that pope,for example,you cant make youth policies without consulting the youth.our polictians dont report to the masses,they play judge and jury and decide a route without proper consultation.people need to know where their tax money is going,look at the state of our prisons,they are worse than the concentration camps.people pay too much tax and yet the economy is still a non-starter,where the money goes is a mystery.and Bingu keep saying he wants to tackle corruption.

the rural areas dont have the necessary tools and machinery to keep people in awareness of the economic status quo.the government budget is only understood or designed to favour those who understand it and they are not the masses.

Malawians are to blame, Most of the MPs go to Parliament for personal gains and they themselves they do not understand their roles in the society and also some sanalankhulepo in parliame since 1994, ........ even after the recent General elections 2004. Chifukwa they cant speak ENGLISH. Ngati munthu satha English, how can he contribute to the proceedings in Parliament yet they say they are there because of the people votes. Kaya! Nanga the Budget which is yet to be presented adzaimva. Penapake onse amene samva chizungu aziwamasulira mchichewa, yao, lomwe, angitau etc kuti mwina dziko likwele.

Easier said than done. Even in the west (otherwise half the worlds leaders wouldn't be in power in the first place).
