Govt Ministries, Departments Be Creative As Resources Continue To Dwindle

Hon. Wakuda Kaanga: Lets be creative

As Malawi continue to face economic challenges, difficult to adequately finance most Government Ministries and Departments, Kasungu North East legislator, Elias Wakuda Kamanga says Government institutions must be creative and efficient in using the limited resources to achieve high quality results.

The People’s Party legislator, hon Wakuda Kamanga was reacting to underfunding concerns being expressed by various Government Ministries and Departments pertaining to the allocations in the 2016/2017 national budget.

“You know, at a time like this when every country in the world, Malawi not being exception, where economies are not performing very well it is very dependent upon institutions across the board to begin restructuring their activities” Said Wakuda Kamanga

Hon Kamanga argued that “it doesn’t make any sense” in the face of dwindling resources to see institutions expanding in terms of activities but stressed for “serious radical transformation” that may translate how institutions work. 

Wakuda maintained that Malawi is endowed with resources but only that people are not working out ways to expand resources they have.

“I don’t agree with anybody that says Malawi has no resources this country has financial and human resources but we are mismanaging resources. We are not prioritizing very well about what is it that we should be doing. If Government can look inside itself they will definitely see that the resources are there but we need to take certain actions that can protect those resources and re-direct them to activities that would make sense to the growth of this economy.” he added
