EXCLUSIVE: Malawi President - Bingu wa Mutharika

Malawi's economy has grown literally from 0 to the current 7.9% as a result of some sound macroeconomic policies and government's agricultural subsidy programme. This programme has received much criticism from the international donor community, a relationship which was key in getting the country's economy off the ground when Bingu wa Mutharika came into power as President in 2004. Sue Beukes spoke to the president and asked him how he managed to balance the relationship between the much need donor support and implementing his agricultural subsidy programme.

Thief. He is busy stealing govts money to pay his wife for charity work. Where on earth have you seen this. He is corrupt and wants to rule behind his brother. He does not want to end up in custody for being a big thief.

Wow this President is great. he seems to know what he is talking about.

God bless you Mr. Prez. I wish we had leaders like you all over Africa.Great economist.

[superlevi31]

he should have spent the money for his presidential plane for aids prevention or the fight against analphabetism or such. but, as usual, the african leaders know best what is good for their country.

I remember during Dr Bandas time our currency was strong until multi party system came along through outside influencies.Leaders that do good especially in the African continent should be left to carry on their legacy and pass it on to the right candidate when the wish to retire.So Dr Wamutharika we wish you another 50 years rule until a right placement is found for you. Outsiders should not dictate our culture and how we should run things.. God bless you Sir.....keep the good work going....
