LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-If your parents don’t offer the support that you need, start by addressing the issue with them directly. Ask for help and give them an opportunity to change their behavior. If they continue to fail to offer support, turn to others in your life who can provide what you need.
If your friend doesn’t help you, We need to put ourselves in the first place. All I can say now is try to decrease your expectations from people you help. People you help might not feel the same to do for you. And with you this friend, it would be better if you too start keeping yourself in the top spot instead going out of your way to help her.
Governments provide the parameters for everyday behavior for citizens, protect them from outside interference, and often provide for their well-being and happiness. However, when a government doesn’t fight corruption, it means that particular government is more than corrupt.
Constitutions attempt to secure important social benefits by establishing fundamental laws, mandating the rule of law, entrenching political procedures, limiting government powers, and, in liberal orders, guaranteeing basic human rights. Unfortunately, this government is amassing a lot of government powers in broad daylight.
“When a government fails to protect the unalienable rights of its citizens, it is the duty and right of citizens to create another form of government.” So this is very general. We’re not talking about specific governments or citizens at this point.
Civil liberties protect people from undue government interference or action. Civil rights, on the other hand, protect people from discrimination. It is government’s policy to prohibit discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, mental or physical disability, or age.
Everyone seems to agree that most, if not all, policy problems have their roots in politics.
That is why you often hear that a particular policy will not be implemented because there is no “political will.” Seemingly anti-poor policies and outcomes—untargeted and costly fertilizer subsidies, theft of agricultural input program dramatically translated to a butchery in the UK, a meager 12 percent salary increment for civil servants after a 44% devaluation, low salary income for those employed in public service, many unemployed youth persist. Yet this is a country rated one of the poorest in the world where the voter is poor. A majority voted in favor of the Hi5 concept with the hope that it will benefit the majority. Why? They were tricked that they were suffering during the previous government but today Malawians have suffered big time. The Hi-5 cannot be delivered with a million excuses.
The explanation lies in the large number of “political market failures” in these democracies—situations where for various reasons, such as ethnicity or lack of information, people vote along lines that are different from outcomes such as health, education, agricultural productivity or jobs. Knowing these voting patterns, or indeed feeding them, politicians campaign on other issues or on platforms that perpetuate these policies and get elected.
What can be done in these situations? One is to take these political market failures as a constraint and work around them. For instance, loans with low interest could be offered to young people as a way of stimulating self employment without trucking then into waiting for 4 years without getting those loans while only the people of Kasiya, the home village of the state President receive upto MWK 800,000 as cash transfer by the end of April 2024. The rest parts of the country is made to wait in vain. I have never seen such kind of Nepotism throughout my lifetime.
These are examples of what we call “a failed state, a failed government and a gained economy.” This government is failing to motivate anyone except themselves.
An alternative is to address the sources of political market failure directly, through non-partisan interventions. For instance, if the problem is that voters are poorly informed—they don’t know that political inaction or corruption affect their daily lives—why not help them become better informed? Why not publish data, in accessible form, about farm inputs, health and education outcomes of each politician’s constituency, and how the government is performing in improving these?
I know very well that government cannot fix everything but for sure, government cannot stop fighting corruption. The high profile corruption case which government has decided to drop is simply a sign that this government is openly telling Malawians that they don’t want justice to prevail.
In other words, Tonse Alliance Government is telling the people of this country that their own Government cannot and does not want to fight corruption because they are corrupt.
Corruption erodes the trust we have in the public sector to act in our best interests. It wastes taxes and rates meant for important community projects. This results in poor quality services or infrastructure, or projects never getting off the ground.
The discontinuation of this case is simply a writing on the wall that government cannot and should not be trusted anymore.
When the rule of law is absent, It represents a breakdown in the established legal frameworks that govern societies and provide structure, order, and fairness. In a state of lawlessness, individuals and groups operate outside the boundaries of the law, often engaging in activities that defy legal and ethical standards.
Lawlessness. as in anarchy. a state in which there is widespread wrongdoing and disregard for rules and authority the western frontier was notorious for its lawlessness.
So far too say that Malawi is an Anarchy state, “without leadership” a condition in which millions of the citizens of this nation reject the current hierarchy, laws, and other institutions. It entails the dissolution of government. Malawi is now based on voluntary institutions.
Malawi now behaves in an illegal manner and is not controlled by laws: The country has descended into lawlessness. There is a growing sense of lawlessness in all arms of government. Citizens are enslaved by devaluation, hunger, corruption, overspending , inefficiencies and general government failure.
