    The Republic of ‘Come Back Tomorrow’ - Nation Online (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    There is a peculiar country somewhere between the Ministry of Finance and the hospital pharmacy where medicines mysteriously disappear. Welcome to the Republic of Come Back Tomorrow where medicine exists in the national budget, procurement plans and financial documents—but somehow develops legs before reaching the patient. In the 2026/27 national budget, Government allocated K108.3 billion for medicines and medical supplies—K58.3 billion for central hospitals and K50 billion for district hospita

    How Suleman revived the ‘Mwanayu Ngwanga’ alarm - Nation Online (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    This is Malawi, where the separation of powers is less a constitutional pillar and more of a chaotic, mud-splattered spectator sport. In our latest match, we find the Speaker of the National Assembly, Sameer Suleman locking horns with senior heavyweights of his ruling party’s Executive. It is a classic tale of political turf wars, wrapped in the glossy veneer of national interest, and played out with all the dignity of a marketplace brawl. The friction began when the Speaker, evidently taking hi

    Welcome to the democratic wonderland of Malawi, where the State broadcast machinery possesses the miraculous ability to make the country’s second-highest-ranking citizen completely invisible. If you were relying on the State-controlled [Malawi Broadcasting Corporation (MBC)](https://www.mbc.mw/) or the [Malawi News Agency (Mana)](https://www.manaonline.gov.mw/) last week, you would be forgiven for believing that the Office of the Vice-President had been outsourced to a ghost. The occasion was a

    Plug Malawi in: We cannot negotiate in the dark - Nation Online (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    In the grand, dimly lit theatre of Malawian infrastructure, a new tragi-comedy has taken centre-stage: ‘The case of the missing megawatts’. For months, Malawi has stood with its metaphorical three-pin plug in hand, staring across the border at Mozambique. We are waiting to connect to the regional electricity grid. Yet the much-anticipated commissioning of the electricity interconnector remains trapped in bureaucratic purgatory. Of course, we are told the delay is for our own good. Our leaders sa

    Private trips, public questions - Nation Online (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    There was a time when South Africa was simply our neighbour. Today, it seems to have become Malawi’s unofficial State House annexe. The President visits so often that he could probably qualify for a frequent traveller discount. President Peter Mutharika has once again departed for what the Office of the President and Cabinet (OPC) describes as a “Private Visit” to South Africa. If you have lost count, don’t blame yourself. This is reportedly the fourth private visit to the same country since he
