Joyce Banda should resign; the constitution must be amended
Malawi as a country, has set a very bad precedent in allowing vice presidents to get paid for doing nothing just because no one can fire them. Unlike Chilumpha’s case, I think Joyce Banda’s case needs more evaluation in as far as political governance is concerned. Tell me why campaigning against the government under which you serve as vice president isn’t tantamount to constructive resignation? Malawi is the only country I know of to have a sitting vice president running her own party and opposing the very policies she is a part of without resigning.

My personal opinion is that Malawians accept corruption as normal in our society. You mean paying a civil servant close to 2 Million MW Kwacha every month without working for it when she deliberately became disloyal to her leadership on her own in order to fight for her own political ambitions MUST be taken normal? Much as I agree that the current First Lady must not be paid for her charity work, I also condemn current Vice President continuing receiveing payment out of doing nothing. Its total theft, corrupting poor Malawians! I think she has no moral ethics at all for the poor Malawians as she claims to be, yet, ironically Malawians are sympathisizing with her! Sympathy vote in Malawi is, and shall be, the main political basis for political crisis. The current government is ruling because of sympathy vote, and soon Joyce Banda will also be given a sympathy vote, regardless of her corrupt mind!!!
My fellow Malawians, these two cases are worth demonstrating and criticizing against for better governance! The issue with Chilumpha was that it was, even today, in court so peope could not intervene for honouring proper judicial independence. But these issue with Joyce Banda and Calista Mutharika must be dealt with by we Malwians by standing against such bad precedences now!!!!
