The elections were peaceful with no grievances expressed from all monitors and candidates. The turnout of voters was very impressive and displayed a sense of patriotism towards MAGU student body and its wellbeing. Voters were first verified through a pre-prepared list with names of all eligible students to vote. If a name was not verified through an Identity Card a student could not Vote. The next step involved marking of the thumb with ink to visibly indicate a voter to have participated in the voting process.

The MAGU electoral commission made sure that the elections were free and fair. Each candidate appointed monitors to observe the voting process. The monitors made sure those that were not eligible to vote did not vote. It was also the duty of monitors to make sure that voters were not enticed by candidates whilst in the polling station in observance of the closure of the campaign period. The votes were counted and the results were as follows; President – Austin Mvula Vice President – Mtisunge Mkikiki Phiri Financial Controller – Daniel Chikankabe General Secretary – Asante Chimgoga Administrative Secretary – Chigomezgo Harawa Executive Officer – Walusungu Gondwe Publicity Secretary – Sammy Mdunga Entertainment Director– Vitumbiko Banda Sports Director – Maxwell Jabili Hostel Director– Nelson Mangala Phiri Catering Director – Chakufwa Mwansinga Health and Sanitation Director – Yamikani Kamalo Director of Women’s Affairs – Mercy Katukumala We convey congratulations for the new President and his Council.

    PUBLIC LECTURE: PUBLIC DEBT SUSTAINABILITY

    Malawi like many other sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) countries has a high prevalence of public debt despite qualifying for debt relief in 2006 under the Highly Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) initiative by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Prior to the HIPC debt relief in 2006, Malawi’s debt to GDP rose to 130%. Since 2006 the debt has risen again from 30% (2006) to 59% (2021) against a SADC convergence target of 60%. Fourteen years post HIPC debt relief, Malawi, at the 2020 United Nations General Assembly requested additional debt relief considering the macroeconomic shocks experienced due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As Malawi’s TPD continues to rise, so too does the risk of fiscal space and debt sustainability. The lecture aims at assessing Malawi’s debt and fiscal sustainability risk and proposes that Malawi improves its productive industrialisation, and manufacturing capabilities as one of the main strategies to improve revenue its revenue base and sustain its debt.
