President Bingu wa Mutharika Has Done Nothing Wrong

After all, by saying that he is ready to plunge Malawi into war...
By saying that, yes, he was threatening The Nation newspaper...
By directly attacking Head of the Catholic Church in Malawi...
By saying 'what the hell do you people want?...
By saying that high-ranking government officials dod not understand the concept of the Greenbelt initiative; instead, mistaking it for Bingu's belt...
By saying that big companies are illegally externalising forex...
And that that is analogous to 'abotaging'the economy...
By saying- I mean, Bingu- that rural-based Malawians do not need the British Pound, American Dollar, the Euro, and other foreign currencies...
In deed, by saying that he (Bingu) has 'abolished' (read 'eradicated') HIV and AIDS from the face of Malawi...
By saying the other things he did,
President Bingu wa Mutharika,
The Head of State and Government,
Was just expressing himself.

Are we not required, after all, to hate the points and not the messenger, the humble bearer of such messages.
Isn't it agreed, universally, to attack people's points and not personalities?

Let us defend freedom of expression. Not only when we like the messages; even when we hate it, too.

Let us defend freedom of expression, to which the President- as a bonafide citizen of the Republic of Malawi, and bonafide member of the Global Community we have come to be- is entittled.

When it hurts, that is when it sinks. www.zachimalawi.blogspot.com says so, in defence of the President's right to attach others, including ordinary citizens of the humble republic and wider world.
