With exception of Kamuzu Banda, who had vulgar powers, now not even one president–at some stage in this democratic dispensation–has taken the ethical steps to stunning their vitality and research squawk that every of them, in conjunction with incumbent Lazarus Chakwera, indulge in defied the Structure for the sake of consolidating vitality.

Right here is in step with evaluation titled ‘The Presidency and Constitutionalism in Malawi: A Case of Absolute Vitality Continuously Corrupting Completely?’ by compatible pupil Professor Mwiza Nkhata published as a chapter in the Oxford Instruction handbook of the Malawi Economic system.

Nkhata argues that the luxuriate in for vulgar vitality is what has additionally introduced a toxic relationship between the Presidents and their Vice-Presidents.

Per the evaluation President Chakwera’s failure to fulfil his campaign promise to stunning presidential powers mirrors a overall tendency in post-1994 abilities where leaders were reluctant to shed off vitality.

Reads the paper in phase: “Particularly, on the other hand, Chakwera is now not the dear president to promise to stunning presidential powers. On the premise of Chakwera’s file up to now, it is miles vivid to interrogate that, notwithstanding the ensures made, the powers vested in the presidency will stay intact.

“A powerful presidency suits the neo-patrimonial nature of the presidency in Malawi. It is thus unlikely that any incumbent would quickly take steps to reform the presidency as this may lessen leverage for managing patronage networks”.

Nkhata fears that having a sturdy president perpetuates patronage, which kills accountability to the drawback of national fashion.

The chapter offers several conditions at some stage in which presidents indulge in undermined the supreme guidelines of the land to assert more vitality than constitutionally equipped for.

It additionally adds that the rise of corruption and other base governance practices are a end result of having a sturdy executive over other branches of authorities.

Whereas Nkhata implies that the reveal of affairs of a sturdy president is trendy in Africa, Cape Metropolis University professor at guidelines Danwood Chirwa stated in an earlier interview that the variation lies in the incontrovertible fact that in Malawi there may be ulterior motive in the assert of vitality.

“There are no established usages and practices to guide the proper exercise of those powers. It is also able to claim more powers than those recognised under the law, also without any form of accountability,” he stated.

Chakwera’s dedication to withdraw delegation of authority to the slack Vice-President Saulos Chilima is one amongst the examples, as is Peter Mutharika administration’s dedication to retire a sitting Chief Justice Andrew Nyirenda.

President Joyce Banda’s reign is additionally faulted for her efforts to annul the 2014 election results after she lost and came a much-off third.

Nkhata further mentions President Bingu’s prorogation of Parliament for almost a year as one more instance of a President exercising ‘too’ worthy vitality.

He additionally shared a long history of how unnerved the connection between the President and their vice has been, proposing guidelines reform to give the Veep some autonomous powers for relevance’s sake.

Per the evaluation, the structure of the reveal of job of the Vice-President in Malawi displays the Structure’s affiliation of the one-celebration abilities where the President, then, wished to be the finest source of vitality.

Reads the paper: “Right here is evident in, by system of illustration, the fashion at some stage in which the reveal of job of the Vice-President is structured, as properly as the most effective device it has been allowed to operate over time.

“It is additionally sure that the presidency has confirmed very adept at guaranteeing that it remains essentially the most mighty reveal of job in the country.

However compatible skilled John Reward Mwakhwawa argues that empowering the reveal of job of the Vice-President to indulge in autonomous powers would now not essentially limit the President’s powers, but may create a war between the President and his deputy.

He instructed The Nation in a cell phone interview: “If the Vice President has powers that are independent and can rival those of a sitting president, it can create a serious conflict if the two individuals are not perfectly aligned in their philosophy.”

“The most effective way to limit the power of the Presidency is to devolve some of the presidential powers and hand them over to the Judiciary, Parliament, or even local government. Distributing the powers between the President and Vice would not work because they are ultimately one office.”
