it a free and fair election yes i think it was quarter to 6 and there was. a comment on the afternoon here in d.p. so i dig. all of them said they were actually free fair and credible in for they would say that. there were 2 conducted should be an example to the rest of africa it was competent free fair and credible the problem though is how people in your own country perceive face corian clearly there are some people who say yes you are the president of the country but not the legitimate president of the country how do you win those people over well you still bullish and obviously when you see the people in the country it's the opposition in the position decided they lost the election and so i don't accept their size defeat and i think they're trying to save their face by saying the election were rigged it wasn't going to court no then

court so the code you saw where they flagged election was rigged going oh gosh royal and then the election will go to rig free fair and credible you know the allegations that making and perhaps you know the name they're calling you mr to pax because it's claimed that correction fluid used for tight rights is was used to change the ballot papers do you think there's any truth that i could have happened in any polling station i don't know what or the point of so i was a school musters and had to use so they used to pay extra correct in school i'm a you this cemetery or to correct the allowed to correct one of them all if the different problems or substructure and problems they're going to correct about bama and that's what they're trying to they did in some cases where they are wrong i didn't wish in the mid gregson in front of everybody all morning times including on us and also on mine does all the opposition those i'm struggling known to forswear

so you don't believe there was any way in which there were a few mistakes made even if you didn't even if you believe the result was valid maybe i did from somewhere maybe 2 plus 2 of the 5. they realized this 5 issue before then they take that depicts correction fluid to correct that that's own thing i make corrections because what i did was from various polling stations the tightness and in the process of i doing i'm sure some dance music summit and if you discover the mistake the corrected in front of or the morning from the government also for the open issue i would absolutely no no proof no sense whatsoever you've seen the people on the streets as you know this precedes through the courts how does this challenge to your legitimacy and your authority affect your ability to carry out the program you want to carry out

a way to doesn't got your what number of things to take into account 1st of all then you code to that side and you can go to court i'm telling you the election results and the not the same time the us before the chairperson due to resign coming to a question only done to affect have been occurring or development programs that going on while being that schools infrastructure all the things i promised in the company and the money for a strong we're going. at one point you tried to ban the protest using that was a mistake you know we never tried to bundaberg you had a 14 day down on the president no it was a bind i dreaded was it that protest under the constitution. piers for process of our own and i support that i'm one of the draft us with a constituent i'm a compartment courses where myself what has happened in vietnam inflation or the 5 or they have been violent probit had been destroyed or 500 people have been

election and immediately started these these things now when. this a bit of a torrent we're going to accept these no the last time when they wanted to go on a cruise the airport on the border i said if they did that they would use force go that would be our gratian i guess that they're going to agree to that are going to are among those demonstrating a many young people and i don't want to be rude but opposition candidates were quite a bit younger than you in the election in fact during the campaign there was even at one point a rumor that you had died in terms of outside so many times in terms of succession do you need to bring on someone younger to groom them to take care of many young people have a government that are in the cabinet half the coverage under forward their young people that are young and one of the people with a member of parliament she is here abroad but she's 23 i don't think this had to

groom somebody this is the democracy this is not a monarchy i can or annoying to any more people would you side in predator footprint in 3 of the convention who should be the leader of the party and therefore the presidential guy. the big route in politics right now is about the election but one of the other big issues in your country on going issue since you've had democracy has been the issue of corruption where it dull job joyce banda the cash gate scandal 201320148 3rd of the government's money disappears right there were allegations of corruption at the time when your brother was president there been allegations made against you even how corrupt is malawi's i don't remember having not cooperated. over your different way in other country. there has
