Africa-Press<\/a> – Malawi<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>A \u201cGordian knot\u201d is a conundrum denoting a complex or unsolvable problem. The term\u2019s origin is traced to Alexander the Great who, in 333 B.C., marched into the Phrygian capital of Gordium in modern-day Turkey.<\/p>\n

Upon arrival, history says he encountered an ancient wagon, its yoke tied with \u201cseveral knots all so tightly entangled that it was impossible to see how they were fastened.<\/p>\n

According to folklore, the wagon had once belonged to Gordius, the father of the celebrated King Midas of the Midas\u2019 Touch fame and an oracle had decreed that whosoever unravelled its elaborate knots would rule entire Asia.<\/p>\n

Impetuous Alexander the Great was instantly determined to untie the Gordian knot. He wrestled with it for a while, to no avail. Not one to take no for an answer or accept failure, he paused, re-strategised, then proclaimed,<\/p>\n

\u201cIt makes no difference how they are loosed!\u201d Quickly, he drew his sword and with a single stroke, sliced the knot in half.<\/p>\n

Evan Andrews (historian) acknowledges another version where Alexander the Great simply pulled out the lynchpin running through the yoke which loosened the knot enough to unfasten. Whatever happened, it was agreed that he had solved the ancient puzzle.<\/p>\n

A fortiori when that same night Gordium was rocked by a thunder and lightning storm, Alexander and his men interpreted it as a sign that Alexander had pleased the gods.Furthermore, as per the oracle, he conquered Egypt and large swaths of Asia before his death at age 32.<\/p>\n

Thus the phrase \u201cGordian knot\u201d was born. Now delivering the moon he promised during the campaign is something President Chakwera is discovering to be a complex and intractable challenge. To borrow from the Greek myth above, Chakwera has found himself face-to-face with a massive Gordian knot.<\/p>\n

Luckily for him, Malawi has no shortage of wise men and women. One such is Professor Garton Kamchedzera who on the twilight of the year 2020 scrutinised the knot vexing Chakwera and suggested some solutions.<\/p>\n

The professor\u2019s mini-thesis is over 5,000 words, and I can\u2019t reproduce it in full. I have therefore picked areas which could help Chakwera loosen the Gordian knot.<\/p>\n

Kamchedzera set out to explore whether the servant leadership touted by Chakwera would actually put Malawi on a different development trajectory towards a better Malawi, for all.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy the end of 2020, servant leadership would catalyse Malawi to defeat the power of convenience-preserving public functionaries and public resource-siphoning cliques\u201d is Kamchedzera\u2019s hypothesis.<\/p>\n

He outlined his prejudices and assumptions, namely that: All these have resulted in sleaze, mediocrity, and governmental ineffectiveness, while the masses suffer and sink deeper into poverty and varying degrees of despair.<\/p>\n

He then touched on the two judgments in the 2019-2020 presidential election case which he thought signalled \u201ca path of expected duty and accountability-based standards for public functionaries towards the aspirations envisaged in the country\u2019s Constitution\u201d.<\/p>\n

His hope, his says, increased when the Electoral Commission followed the judgments, pertinent statutory provisions, and the Constitution to implement fresh elections that made him feel proud as a Malawian.<\/p>\n

Come the new national leadership, its \u201cservant leadership\u201d mantra struck a chord in the professor\u2019s mind that this \u201cservant leadership\u201d thing was a potent cure for the \u201cdyera\u201dideology.<\/p>\n

Indeed, to many Malawians, servant leadership, uniting Malawians, prospering together, ending corruption, and the rule of law sounded like what the proverbial doctor had prescribed. Since the proof of the pudding is in the eating, Kamchedzera set out to observe, at least for five months, whether expectations would be met.<\/p>\n

He foresaw a conflict. A battle between servant leadership on the one hand, and governmental convenience and easy access to public economic resources on the other was unavoidable because \u201cservant leadership\u201d is incompatible with the \u201cdyera\u201d ideology.<\/p>\n

After observation, listening, and following developments, the professor suggests that the old order has successfully defeated the notion of servant leadership.<\/p>\n

The President and the Vice President have been lulled into a comfort and dependency complex that traps, makes them unsure, yet enjoying power. How? By \u201ckuweta\u201d or \u201ctaming\u201d the President through:<\/p>\n

On their part, the professor notes that in the battle above, Chakwera and Chilima made four fundamental errors. These are: What should have been Chakwera\u2019s strategy?<\/p>\n

Kamchedzera says a more robust \u201cKuchotsa\u201d or \u201cRemoval\u201d of \u201crubble as redefined in Chakwera\u2019s speech of 5 November 2020 on the MSCE leakage scandal. Rather than playing to the gallery as he often does, Chakwera should take targeted action on the government machinery wherein the devil lies.<\/p>\n

How? By: Further, clearing the rubble should have been a priority legislative matter so that the new Boards operate with law-based criteria and benchmarks for firing and hiring. Introducing a code of ethics for the civil service would have also helped.<\/p>\n

Can \u201cservant leadership\u201d still win the battle? Kamchedzera is cautiously optimistic. He thinks the likelihood of success still exists. Its howeverproblematic because public roles are regarded as a \u201cnational cake\u201d to be shared and exclude others.<\/p>\n

Further, this has been exacerbated by Chakwera\u2019s unwitting or intentional infusion of his own rubble through appointments and willingness to be \u201ctamed\u201d.<\/p>\n

With five months gone, while Chakwera can now boast of on-the-job experience, the clock is ticking and the masses are asking: does Chakwera have the grit to swiftly draw his sword and with a single stroke, slice the Gordian knot? One thing is clear: talking will not cut it. Action, action and more action is what will unravel the Gordian knot. Happy New Year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
