Comments on: Could a leaked cable lead to hunger in Africa? http://blogs.reuters.com/africanews/2011/06/02/could-a-leaked-cable-lead-to-hunger-in-africa/ African business, politics and lifestyle Wed, 22 May 2013 19:18:29 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Asaki http://blogs.reuters.com/africanews/2011/06/02/could-a-leaked-cable-lead-to-hunger-in-africa/comment-page-1/#comment-9997 Asaki Thu, 14 Jul 2011 11:31:17 +0000 http://blogs.reuters.com/africanews/?p=5105#comment-9997 Frankly,it may take both sides of the arguments.If the government in Malawi heavily depends on aid from side,he it must be ready to endure all sorts of criticisms thrown at it.In Africa,our political leaders do not care about the people they govern only themselves and think that they will get way with it by asking aid from the developed country without having reforms and spend the aid money wisely.And instead,they will find another ways where to put the money given to them,which is very sad indeed.I sometimes blame those giving away a huge chunk of money just to wasted unnecessary,especially ahead of elections campaigns in order to stay in power by hook or by crook.This has to stop and it is time for a new revolutions to oust these autocratic regimes who do not want to cede power for the benefit of their people who are suffering from malnutrition on the continent.

It is particularly disappointing because President Mutharika delivered an outsize Gain for Malawi in this Agricultural Space. He turned Malawi into a Surplus Country at a time when Food Prices have simply accelerated and Food Prices now represent the greatest Risk to a number of African Governments, in fact. I recall a time when I was at University and My bank Manager came and found me and he said 'Aly-Khan I would like you to entertain the Novel Idea of You Banking with Us and Not Us with You.' With Malawi having to fund 40% of its Budget via External Donors, The President would surely have been wiser to have swallowed his Pride and understood that Creditors have to be treated with some Care and thumbing your Nose up at them can have dreadful consequences for those on whose behalf You exercise Your Mandate.
