LATE BINGU'S ASSETS BE MADE PUBLIC-ACTIVIST
One
of the Malawi’s human rights and civil activists Ben Chiza Mkandawire says government
should freeze and made public all assets of the late president Bingu wa
Mutharika and his associates like Mulli Brothers.
This
is coming at a time when it is reported that the late president was receiving
money from different companies, individuals and some countries.
Speaking
to reporters in Lilongwe Thursday the activist Ben Chiza Mkandawire says assets
of the late president Bingu wa Mutharika be frozen and all his dealings with
business gurus like Mulli brothers be made public.
Mkandawire
further says the anti corruption bureau should investigate former minister of
finance Goodall Gondwe, revisiting of the Malawi Housing scandal where Professor
Peter Mutharika was implicated.
He
also says Professor Peter Mutharika’s personal properties be investigated on
how they were acquired.
Mkandawire
added that the late Mutharika family should tell Malawians how the late
president acquired money to build Ndata farm including the Ndata Mansion.
Meanwhile
the activist is appealing to the current People’s Party leadership to go back
to the old flag saying the process leading to the changing of the current flag
was unconstitutional as the previous regime did not consult Malawians.

SO THEY WERE WAITING FOR THE BIG KAHUNA TO DIE
Kamuzu Central Hospital director Dr Noor Alide says the referral hospital has been chosen as a centre of excellence for heart problems.
This is coming at a time the hospital failed to treat late president Bingu wa Mutharika who died following a heart attack while there.
The country has no hospital dealing with non communicable diseases like cardiac arrest among others.
Dr Alide says currently they are meeting to strategize on how best to deal with these life threatening diseases.
He says this is covered in the essential health package covering prevention and eradication of the diseases.
The director disclosed that other central hospitals will also choose areas they will specialize.
Former speaker of parliament Rodwell Munyenyembe also died of cardiac arrest after suffering from a severe stroke in 2005.
An estimated 17.3 million people died from cardiovascular diseases in 2008, representing 30 percent of all global deaths.
Of these deaths, an estimated 7.3 million were due to coronary heart disease and 6.2 million were due to stroke.
And 80 percent of these deaths occur in Low and middle income countries and are equal in men and women.
By 2030, almost 23.6 million people will die from CVDs, mainly from heart disease and stroke. These are projected to remain the single leading causes of death.
According to the World Health Organisation 76 percent of people with diabetes will be living in developing countries by 2030. In 2005 alone some 1.1 million people in Africa died due to diabetes.
Diabetes is one of the non communicable diseases and it is estimated by World Health Organisation that by 2030 diabetes will overtake deaths from TB, Malaria and HIV and AIDS.
These diseases are also affecting active age groups who are vital contributing to national development.

WILL IT EVER WORK
Government says it is still scrutinizing World Health Organization WHO clause banning public smoking which expert say is the main cause of cancer globally.
Currently World Health Organization is carrying out anti-smoking campaign under the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control WHO FCTC adopted on May 21, 2003.
Tobacco smoke contains about eighty different substances that cause cancer.
Director of Clinical Services in the Ministry of Health, Dr. George Chithope-Mwale warned of economic challenges if the country endorses the clause as tobacco contributes over 80 percent of national income.
However Dr. George Chithope-Mwale says government is critically reviewing WHO FCTC treaty.
Meanwhile Dr. Felistus Zawaira, WHO country representative is commending government for planning to establish National Cancer Institute in the capital Lilongwe.
According to a survey conducted in 2009 by ministry of health in public hospitals they recorded 10,000 cases of cancer of which 60 percent are said to have died.
The country on 4th February joined the world in commemorating World Cancer Day.
