Mr. Speaker, Sir, Martin Luther King Jnr. once said “I have a dream”. Yes, I also have a dream. I see a Malawi where her citizens enjoy their freedom, dignity and a sense of pride…
Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also have a dream. I see citizens getting jobs not because of where they come from; but because they qualify for it.
I see businesses winning tenders not because they have bribed; not because they sponsor the ruling party, but because they qualify to deliver.
Yes, I see clean water delivered to our people.
I see young children in rural areas playing on computers.
I see industries mushrooming across the country. Indeed, I also have a dream.
…Yes, I see electricity all day long…
I see opposition leaders on Malawi Broadcasting Corporation TV…
(Excerpts from HE Dr. Joyce Banda’s maiden Speech delivered in Parliament on May
18 2012)
Wow! what a powerful dream!
