[civsoc-mw] No new voters roll

Thu Oct 8 10:05:25 CAT 2020

Inu Bambo Chimimba,
I gather that Malawi is moving forward and a great lesson to the world.
Yesterday I had an opportunity to listen to two presentations by one
Director in the Ministry of Health (a Dr Likaka if not mistaken the name).
It was virtually organized by WHO, African CDC and the other by USAID
Momentum Project. For the first time in my life, I felt great being a
Malawian, man, the guy amazed me! Malawi has potential that's not being
properly utilized and I slept very well last night after the presentations.
My daughter kept asking whether this guy is indeed a Malawian,  she thought
he was an American! Eloquently put Covid-19 response into perspective. I
need his contacts, I may recommend to the King here, seriously. Am bringing
this issue to advise you not to undermine KPD or my rich friend KB or
Bwandilo. Mind you, Malawi has potential, untapped
