Malawi VP Jane Ansah Urges Cabinet to Innovate Revenue Generation Amid Global Financial Shifts
Vice President Jane Ansah has called on Malawi’s cabinet ministers to develop more innovative and creative ways of generating financial resources, as global financial patterns continue to shift.
Speaking at the 2025 Cabinet Retreat in Mangochi, organized by the Government of Malawi in collaboration with UNDP, Ansah emphasized that the gathering is “not just routine, but a strategic meeting aimed at tackling the real conditions of our economy, our people, and our politics.”
She noted that the changing landscape of international financial support — increasingly favoring geopolitically strategic regions — necessitates greater domestic innovation for investment and sustainable growth, particularly for developing nations like Malawi.
The retreat has brought together all cabinet ministers, development partners, and senior government officials, providing a platform to deliberate on strategies to strengthen the nation’s financial independence and economic resilience.

Trump Launches ‘Genesis Mission’ to Harness AI for Scientific Breakthroughs
U.S. President Donald Trump has announced the launch of the “Genesis Mission”, a bold initiative slated to leverage artificial intelligence in driving major scientific and technological breakthroughs. The program aims to accelerate advancements in medicine, climate science, and energy, positioning AI at the forefront of innovation.
Through Genesis Mission, researchers and tech experts will be mobilized to develop new solutions to global challenges — from vaccine research and pandemic prevention to renewable energy technologies and environmental conservation. Supporters believe this could mark a transformative era of progress, powered by cutting-edge AI tools guided by public and private investment.
Critics, however, caution that rapid AI deployment must be balanced with ethical oversight, data security, and oversight to prevent misuse or unintended consequences.
As world leaders and tech communities watch closely, Genesis Mission sets the stage for what could become one of the most ambitious science-driven initiatives in recent history.
Destiny Cannot Be Chained: Reflections on Mandela, Joseph, and Nnamdi Kanu
Once upon a time, history showed us that no chain is strong enough to hold a man whose destiny is written by God.
Nelson Mandela was falsely accused and sentenced to life imprisonment under fabricated terrorism charges. Yet, destiny did not end in that prison cell. He emerged from darkness to become the President of South Africa a global symbol of freedom, resilience, and unbreakable courage.
The story mirrors the biblical tale of Joseph, the beloved son of Jacob, who faced betrayal, false accusations, and imprisonment. From the prison walls, he rose to sit on the throne, ruling over nations. What was meant to destroy him became the path that lifted him.
In our own time, history is writing another chapter. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, whose only crime is speaking for his people, has been sentenced to life imprisonment on false terrorism charges. But like Mandela and Joseph, destiny does not bow to injustice.
No matter how long the night lasts, the morning must surely come. One day a blessed day he will walk out free and lead his people with renewed strength, purpose, and divine mandate.
