These are the elections that took days before the winner was announced. They are dubbed as the most chaotic elections ever coupled with a lot of complaints in Malawi history of elections. And so the Democratic Progressive Party DPP under Professor Peter Mutharika and his running mate Saulos Chilima is back in government. The government slipped out of their fingers when the party’s and Malawi leader Professor Bingu wa Mutharika died suddenly leaving the unpopular Vice President Joyce Banda to take the reign. Now that the DPP is back in power people have high expectations and look forward to what the other Mutharika has to offer. The economic sector suffered some losses due to the election stand-off With the uncertainty on how long the Electoral Commission was going to take to release the presidential results much of businesses came to a standstill. Many businesses entities failed to operate to the fullest for fear of unknown post-election violence which may have led to damages.

    REPUBLIC OF KENYA MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND INTERNATIONAL TRADE STRATEGIC PLAN 2018/19 – 2022/23 APRIL 2018 i Foreword The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade is mandated to pursue Kenya’s Foreign Policy in accordance with the Constitution of Kenya, with the overarching objective of projecting, promoting and protecting the nation’s interests abroad. Kenya’s Foreign Policy is a tool for pursuing, projecting, promoting and protecting national interests and values across the globe. The underpinning principle of the policy is a strong advocacy for a rule-based international system, environmental sustainability, equitable development and a secure world. This desire and commitment is aptly captured in our vision statement, “A peaceful, prosperous, and globally competitive Kenya” and the mission statement: “To project, promote and protect Kenya’s interests and image globally through innovative diplomacy, and contribute towards a just, peaceful and equitable world”. The overarching goal of this Strategic Plan is to contribute to the country’s development agenda and aspirations under the Kenya Vision 2030, the Third Medium Term Plan and the “Big Four” Agenda on: manufacturing, food and nutrition security, affordable healthcare and affordable housing for Kenyans. We are operating in a period of rapid transition in international relations as exemplified in the unprecedented political and socio-economic dynamism within the global system. A robust and dynamic foreign policy grounded on empirical research and analysis is paramount in addressing the attendant issues presented by globalisation coupled with power shifts towards the newly emerging economies which have redefined the diplomatic landscape. These changing dynamics impose on the Ministry the onerous responsibility of ensuring coherent strategies are developed and deployed to adapt to these global realities while at the same time identifying the corresponding opportunities to enhance Kenya’s global competitiveness in line with the Kenya Vision 2030 and the Third Medium Term Plan.

The closeness of the vote has raised fears that fraud and intimidation may be used to try and swing results in a nation that has enjoyed relative stability and become east Africa's economic power- house since the end of British rule in 1963. All except one of the public surveys since September have put opposition candidate Raila Odinga -- a 62-year-old businessman and former political prisoner -- a few points ahead of President Mwai Kibaki, who won in 2002. Just one recent poll, by Gallup, put Kibaki a point ahead, showing that all is still to play for in an election entertaining Kenyans' minds far more than the festive season. Around the capital Nairobi and other major towns, sparse Christmas decorations were swamped by party colours and vast posters of the main candidates. "This is not likely to be a season of good cheer due to the very human clash of wills between contenders for political power," wrote the Daily Nation in a Christmas Day editorial.

  • Press Review

    Press Review

    PREVIEW The National Assembly budget meeting is what dominated the press coverage in June. Finance Minister Goodall Gondwe was tasked again to present the 2016/ 2017 National budget to the August House expecting the parliamentarians to critic it and eventually pass it. And after lengthy discussions debates the budget was passed But not without some opposition on several points. Every other year the process of pre-budget consultations take place where the minister and technocrats in the ministry meet the civil society, society of accountants the academia and many stakeholders to get some input in the national budget in all the three regions. However there is now a new proposal by Members of Parliament who would want to be included and accommodated in the consultations. These feel they also own the national budget and should be part of it. Members of parliament would want to give alternatives and ideas that could be included in the budget because they are the ones who are always closer to the reality because they are with the grassroots all the time. In the past there were concerns that the even after consultations where good suggestions and proposals come out, there is almost nothing that is included in the budget. This raised so many questions why there should be consultations when whatever is proposed at such meeting is not accommodated in the national budget year in year out. The budget sitting of parliament attracts a lot of debates sides of the National assembly and the masses. It is therefore not surprising that in the process of scrutinizing the budget allocation parliamentarians cross paths.
