“My fellow Malawians, discipline is another virtue we should learn from our freedom fighters. This is the ability in a person to do the right thing, at the right place, at the right time and in the right manner. Discipline was high during the pre-multi party democracy era. However, once Malawi attained the multi party democracy, everyone thought they had the right to do things in the manner they pleased; as a result chaos and anarchy became the order of the day in the first years of democratic Malawi. The culture of not respecting the rule of law has become the order of the day. We have become a nation where even simple traffic rules are being ignored, people are able to embezzle government resources including medicines in hospitals with little or virtually no regard to life. Therefore, as we embark on a journey of another 50 years or more, I wish to appeal for discipline because it is essential for the nation to achieve remarkable prosperity. We need discipline at every level of our society. The transformation journey is for all Malawians to embark on and the time is now.
