MICHAEL JACKSON DIES

Its just been reported that Michael Jackson has died this aftern(American time)in Los Angels after suffering a cardiac arrest at his home.

A house keeper at his home in Holmby Hills called 911 and they found no pulse on him.The New York Times and Celebriy news website were the firts to break the news.Los Angels Law Enforcement Agency also confirmed the news later on.

Michael is survived by three children: Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince "Blanket" Michael Jackson II..

SCARCITY OF FOREX

As another concerned Malawian,there is this issue about the scarcity of foreign currency in Malawi.

Its so much a shame that things have not changed after such a long time.They are times people say when we start tobacco sales we will have alot of foreign currency.There is so much corruption in banks that they cannot give you forein currency despite putting an application in time.A lot of reasons will be given that there is no foreign currency.The president is talking of doing some work to improve tourism.It makes you laugh,we will have tourists in the country but we cant have enough foreign currency to cater their needs when they are leaving e country.What about the local businessmen who cannot get it all because the bank workers want to be given ''a little something?'' to process your forex application.

We have all these Lebanese,Chinese,Sri Lankans,Indians and Pakistanis taking money outside the country.Something needs to be done about this because alot of local,small businessmen are struggling to do business all because they cannot get the forein currency needed to buy goods abroad.

MALAWI ON TOURISM

Dr Bingu Wa Mutharika,the president of the Republic of Malawi has recently said his government will embark in various developmental projects so as to increase tourism in the country.This,he said in constructing good roads and improving the communication sector.

Its a suprise to see that it has taken the governement so long to see the impact tourism can have on a country's economy.Various questions are asked why the focus is mostly in farming yet we know rains are un predicatble these days due to global warming.

We have had Ministers of Tourism,why they are there is a question that everyone asks.One of their duties if they do not know is to promote the country worldwide about the various attractions it has.People comimg from various countries abroad bring in income which can help the country.Various countries do advertise in various international TV stations,the internet and various media.

Having inland ports is not going to help us in tourism,but in imports.We need to look in areas like game reserves,mountains and some other areas and how to put the country on the tourism map.We are being helped another way round by some celebrities in the entertainement world,lets do the other side ourselves.How will Rab Processors and Mulli Brothers help in tourism in the country?Is it bringing Indians to work in the companies in administrative jobs that local Malawians can do?Do you call that tourism?

ON MADONNA AND ADOPTION

It is in te papers that Madonna is ecstatic,happy,she finally gets mercy,or whatever words have been put to explain the outcome of the Madonna's recent appeal in the APPEAL COURTS of Malawi.


Why do people think she is happy?Is she because she is taking a child away from her home country,is she because she is trafficking a child as others are saying...NO..she is so happy because she is so caring,she is a loving mother to her own kids and she sees it as a way of giving another child a life she would not get.

A lot of people are saying so many things,like saying why can't she just let Mercy leave in Malawi and then she helps financially or in whatever way possible.Who doesn't know the corrupt,greedy people that are there.People are opposing to her adopting this child saying its child trafficking.Do you really know what trafficking is?She is going through the right procedure to have this child adopted.

Angellina Jolie and Brad Pitt have adopted kids before but who has said stuff like that.Most of the so-called child rights groups are there just to get money from funding organisations under the pretext that thay are fighting for childrens rights.There are so many children without parents in the country and do you help them.Most of these are just interested in their families.Why is the child in an orphanage in the first place,the answer is nobody could care for her.Madonna has come to her rescue and you are coming out to say all sorts.

And on passing out the ruling,Chief Justice Lovemore Munlo also said,said the earlier judgement was out of touch with the times?What he meant by this statement is something to talk about.Its a given fact that judges pass a ruling or sentences using the law as guidance and not according to their own personal opinion.If the Chief Justice says such kind of statement ,means there is something with the law in Malawi.It means the law is ''out of touch with the times.''and something needs to be done..There are so many sentences that are passed out and they are not enough for the crime committed.Would the people responsible look into this please.

Lastly,thanks to the judge for being reasonable and passing out this important ruling for the poor little girls' sake.On top of this,Madonna keep up RAISING MALAWI..
