[Keyboard Boyd Kilembey]

Let us face it, Malawi has one of the most backward mps in SADC. They would

be an mp. To them being an no is making hewe povos tremble and kneel for
them. One wonders if they even have time to read and regurgitate bills. The
best thing then know is handicapping for tinpot dictators.
