MP to move motion for Malawi to adopt federal system of government
Mzimba north legislator Yeremiah Chihana has given notice of a private member’s motion for the country to adopt federal system of government.
In the notice, Chihana says the federal system of government is in the interest of equitable distribution of resources and developments in Malawi and as a solution to the challenges brought about by the quota system in the education system.
He also says that federalism is needed because of what he calls elasticity of Malawi politics and in order to ensure equal participation in political decisions which affect all regions in Malawi.
“…this House is satisfied that Malawi has now matured to change the system of government, and to that end, this House resolves that all efforts and legal framework should be put in place towards adoption of a federal system of government within a specified time period and in any case before the next scheduled elections in 2004,” reads the notice in part.
Although this might excite some people in the northern region who feel marginalized, it is unlikely that it would pass in parliament as Chihana is the lone member of Alliance for Democracy (Aford) in the 193-strong House.
The notice of motion for federation system of government comes at a time when the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) is accused of nepotism, regionalism, cronyism, tribalism, favouritism, among others.

am of the view that Malawi need federal government inorder to bring true decentralisation of development to its citizens… its not about region, or tribe or where someone comes from,,,,,, we must differenciate also about fedralism and quota system of students selection to Universities/ public schools, rather we should define federalism as a rebirth of new knowledge in approach to development,,,Malawi is one country, federalism is just a structure or a vehicle to do development effectively……. Federalism will help citizens to think development for their areas….People will be competitive in deveopment projects based resources given to them within there respective… Read more »

I am Tumbuka too but the idea of introducing federal system in a small country like this one is very stupid.
So Atumbuka wants equitable distribution of position not places in tertiary university. Stupid

Thats the very reason why I feel they are justified to seriously think about this type of government where they can also exercise some freedoms. Other than have some empty tins make too much noise on things they do not know

When somebody who calls himself a Malawian calls others ,” Atumbuka”, what actually does that imply. so it means the northerners have to endure nepotism, regionalism, favouritism done by the southerners forever and should just zip up their mouths and not express their frustrations?
Why we don’t call you achawa or alomwe? is that the way we should go? And why are you scared with the northerners when they raise the issue of federalism of government ?
Have you read comments from northerners below or you are just selective with what pains you only? How many times have you ridiculed lomwes below if you compare with atumbuka?
