Janet Banda

Janet Chikaya-Banda (born 11 January 1970) is a Malawian lawyer who became the Solicitor General and a Principal Secretary. Quotes "I had very specific dreams. All I wanted was to be educated and rich. I had this little diary where I penned a list of material things that I wanted to possess when I was older. It was like a mission to prove something to my siblings. Shockingly, this list always found its way into my daily prayers! When I found the diary 30 years later I was embarrassed by some of the things that I was asking God. I believe God has been faithful in every way. He has granted me the appropriate level of education and I know that you are as rich as you feel! Our children are the greatest riches." Janet Banda, in a Nation Online interview. "It is a humbling experience. The fact that I am a woman means that I have to work twice as hard to prove myself. It is my hope that I will not let down the female folk, particularly those in my profession." Janet Banda, in a Nation Online interview. "The lesson from my career journey is that patience, hard-work and dedication (PhD) always pay off in the long run. If every woman pursues this honorary doctorate, they are bound to be rewarded in the end." Janet Banda, in a Nation Online interview.
