@mrJay265 @achemicals9 Less moving parts means less maintenance you only have to worry about battery replacement every 8 to 10 yrs.

@achemicals9 The scary thing about an electric car for me is maintenance and kukozetsa😂 Any place in malawi that can fix?

Ndaona mitengo yama electric cars anthufe tangoona kukhala osauka, you're better off spending 20+mita on a new electric car rather than kugura honda fit wa 2015 same amount.

@Innochiwandah @KhivaIV Government experience without sound economics is exactly how countries stay poor. Happy to differ, but the outcome of your approach is visible Malawi's economy is the receipt. Textbooks exist for a reason.

@sabbxy @KhivaIV Lol you do realize I didn't even ask for your credentials, right? You brought them up yourself. Anyway if you don't understand apopo let's agree to differ. You might be a textbook economist, I have experience in Government affairs. So let's agree to differ

Why is it illegal to export tobacco to Mozambique, Zambia and Zimbabwe where demand is high?🙄

@Innochiwandah @KhivaIV Fair point. But forex returns when formal channels offer fair rates banks buy it, government taxes exports at source, and repatriation rules apply (like Kenya, SA). You don't need to underpay farmers to capture forex,you need competitive formal systems.

@sabbxy @KhivaIV ...that money is used kugula essential products for the survival of the country. It's not just tobacco, even minerals are also regulated and other stuff. Ineyo ngati wa PSLCE, I'm not supposed to be teaching this to an economist. Perhaps vuto siboma vuto ndanthu ophunziranu

@Innochiwandah @KhivaIV But boma already has zero forex under the current controls that's the status quo you're defending. You're assuming control creates forex. Reality shows the opposite. Controls pushed forex to black markets.

@sabbxy @KhivaIV ...essential commodities like fuel and medicine kunja. Now imagine kuti there were no restrictions as you are saying. End result boma will have zero forex koma black market forex yambirimbiri. You should know the ripple effect of this. Now to prevent all this...

@Innochiwandah @KhivaIV That's exactly the problem with control-based thinking. Forex fled to black markets because formal channels aren't competitive. More restrictions deepen that. Fix the incentives and forex returns to boma willingly no enforcement needed.

@sabbxy @KhivaIV ...you of all people as an economics should know what happens when boma has less forex than the informal markets. The government loses bargaining power, which is actually the issue we have today. KuMalawi forex ilipo koma ili pa black market, end result boma lukanika kugula...

@Innochiwandah @KhivaIV Open markets fix this. When farmers find their own buyers, they scale production, earnings return home, stimulate the economy, and generate forex because the farmer still spends that money locally. That's how real economies grow.

@Innochiwandah @KhivaIV Black markets grow when formal systems are uncompetitive, not when trade is open. Decades of tight control haven't fixed Malawi's forex problem. The real issue is structural weak inflows, low competitiveness, and no trust in formal channels.

@Innochiwandah @KhivaIV I missed the other threads you put up I will try to explain on each of the concerns you raised

@Innochiwandah @KhivaIV I honestly wanted a clear explanation of the argument for restricting exports, but instead I got a vague claim that from you that I don’t understand tobacco markets and government revenue, when I literally have a degree in Economics.

@sabbxy @KhivaIV 😂😂Yeah okay

@Innochiwandah @KhivaIV Restricting farmers doesn't grow forex long-term it kills competition, lowers prices and output, shrinking the tax base and forex.That's an economic fact. Arguing against it shows why we remain one of the poorest countries because of the failure to grasp basic sound economics.

@sabbxy @KhivaIV With all due respect, I think you have no idea how tobacco markets work nor how government earns revenue

@Innochiwandah @KhivaIV Same as any export, farmers earn forex, it flows through banks or spending locally, and govt taxes income and transactions. Open markets raise prices this means bigger tax base and more forex. Restrictions just cap volume and incentives of the farmers thereby reducing revenue.

@sabbxy @KhivaIV Exactly how do you see government revenue and forex from selling tobacco outside?

@KhivaIV That’s the problem restricting farmers from exporting where demand is higher just distorts the market. If they were free to sell regionally, they’d get better prices, forex would come in naturally, and the whole system would be more efficient than relying on forced local sales.

@Innochiwandah @KhivaIV That’s exactly what holds us back , government interference in markets rarely works long term. If farmers were free to sell in an open market, they’d earn better prices, more forex would flow in naturally, and the market would correct itself without forcing inefficient controls.

@KhivaIV Fodya is Malawi's top forex earner. If you sell kunja, ma dollars omwe mugulitsewo akhala akomweko. On top of that, the govt collects tax kwa alimi from the tobacco sales so mukagulitsa kunja ndekuti no govt revenue as well. We need to sell the tobacco here for our survival

@JoelFickson @Baulen_ I agree. Some form of anti-establishment momentum is needed. I’m not sure how that would be mobilized, but leaders running on anti-establishment platforms around the world are making huge changes, and young people are often on their side eg, the NYC mayor.

@sabbxy @Baulen_ The whole thing needs a huge reset. For me that’s what we need a fresh start! We change a few things and hope the rot goes.

In your experience as a Malawian, have things ever gotten better? Economically, or in any area? We are doomed, aren't we?
