Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Malawi ๐ฒ๐ผ
Joined May 2014
I spent seven years in Kenya as Malawi's diplomat. In those years late Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga, was a towering figure on the Kenyan socio-political and governance map. Observing him was a study in individual impact on the contemporary and historical. Condolences, Kenya.

Malawi became independent in 1964. Since then we have had six Presidents. On 16th September, we will be voting for the 7th President. In my view, of the six Presidents so far, only three have been career politicians in the true sense of the word.

Since the One-Go Border Post opened commuters are already applauding the initiative. Many have praised the seamless processes, with one traveler, speaking anonymously, noting that what used to take at least 3hours to clear goods between the two borders now takes less than an hour

South Africa and @CyrilRamaphosa @PresidencyZA has handled the provocative attempt with deft and utter preparation "Open diplomacy" has met its African match! We will forget the disdain paid on one of us!

Today, on KamuzuDay, i always reflect on Kamuzu Banda as a thought leader and me as a beneficiary of that through Kamuzu Acedemy. Kamuzu Banda will always have a meaning for me as a result of the excellent education I received under the Kachere Tree. Happy Kamuzu Day.
