Just a thought about payrolls, bank loans, grants and savings.
I just talked about payrolls and I am looking at all the advantages and all the disadvantages all over again.
The attitude of product and service providers in our current economic environment leaves much room for appreciation. Customers are regarded as egg laying chickens which could just be slaughtered if they fall sick as a way of reducing losses before they spread the disease to other chickens. That is like the normal of the day. But Human Beings? Human beings deserve much more respect than that. Even the sickest should be taken care of with love to the very day of his death. This is an extreme but it is the reality of the attitude business owners have towards customers. It stinks. And I hate it.
You buy something and you are given something damaged. You complain, they would even want to close the door in your face. The hearts that break! Do you people understand? Do you understand how difficult it is to make ends meet for the lowly people when you move in your prado's gazzling fuel like water?
I saw a tobacco farmer trying this way and that to try to prove his identify that he is indeed who he says he is in order to order to access the information for his tobacco sales. He must have walked for long indeed and maybe has stayed in the depot for long and without food and his relatives might even be worrying if he hasn't been killed by the robbers especially with tobacco money or he has decided to squander money for themselves.
Even this dirty look he has now acquired to access his dear money he has worked so hard for, is really an extra feature to doubt his identify for the money he claims. Why? The auction holdings limited has a state of art security which even locks out even its customers. When customers don't come to claim their money they might even be regarded as defaulters who don't need to be paid. Maybe they have a lot of it. So we might as well gazzle some of it on beers some of it on the sweet ladies at Paris. Some of it on fuel. When they do come we just tell them we closed your account for you did not come to claim it. Stupid.
The customer is outside your gate coming daily to claim his pay and you have locked him out of the money he worked hard for to gazzle some of it on beers and the sweet ladies at Paris and buy some bicycles with it. Of all these losses a human being can make for his own money. None! For it is better to enjoy what one has worked for, even to his death, fortunately they are wiser to save all that they need from the much money they get. But should it be you who claim to encourage savings, lose it all for him? Stupid!
When banks go to government we want to do this and that in order to encourage this good and that and this will bring this much revenue in taxes. The government says yes. Indeed they say yes for all you have told them are advantages but you have not told them that to get that much revenue to the coffers of the government, you will have to lock out customers for their own money. You going to sell some, who don't speak much, the damages and shut the doors in their faces before they can spread the disease to other customers. Stupid!
Government should know this and thoroughly understand the ideas brought before them and even follow up on how customers have received or are viewing the new idea. CAMA should be number one to follow up these. I hope it is not an NGO depending on donors who might want to protect their investments as well.
Government should really speed up the idea of financial independence. We managed then why should we fail now? We depend much on taxes now because we had to stop depending on donors who had to have us sell all our income generating companies which allowed us to have all that we needed provided at our own pace without having to burn out with overwork. With everybody happy buying malawian. We should put our worries where worries need to be, taking care of our sick not filling up the fuel tank.
I should think those who complained most during Kamuzu's time are such as who tore apart all our companies. Than those who lived on this land called Malawi.
If truth be told, I would not be surprised if the procedures of privatizing the companies, the direction they have taken, the wishes upon formation of the companies, clauses in the registration documents to self guard them might render all the privatisation illegal and allow us to claim back for our land Malawi our heritage, which our forefathers built for us for our enjoyment and use. For the sweat they sweated they sweated so that we might not need to sweat as they did. I shall not want to sweat for what our forefathers shed their blood for for our enjoyment just because somebody else has taken it. I shall want back all that is the heritage of the people of Malawi to be returned to Malawi.
The people of Zimbabwe have suffered for the work their government have done to claim back their heritage. I shall not want this work be left to the government alone. But I shall indeed ask our genius lawyers to go into the books and records to fight a brilliant battle and get our heritage back.
This is the final Bwezani I want. If it was said, they overcame by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their Testimony, the blood the lamb had already shed, had already bought their heritage back. By the word of their testimony they claimed their heritage back.
Our forefathers have too shed their blood for this our heritage. When asked why do you have to do all this? They did reply, that you my children may have a better life than we lived.
The heritage they built for us the people of Malawi, is not being enjoyed as wished our forefathers.
We shall want to enjoy our heritage as our forefathers wished when they built it whether in the current hands or not and get back all that is illegally taken from, and buy back all that we want to buy back.
Above all we shall appoint to manage our heritage, those we see fit to manage it, following the wishes of our forefathers that in their wisdom crafted laws and procedures that greatly prospered our land to cause so much envy to the foreigners and Judases who tore them apart. We shall have the right to demote those that manage it not according to the wishes of our forefathers as the guidelines and procedures in managing such require.
