Revolutionary leader of Muvi wa Chilungamo Revolutionary Party (MRP) Bantu Saunders Jumah, says Malawi is a begging country, it begs with one hand and waste with the other speaking to itself that it is a begging country that its leaders lives like Kings.
Jumah said the last time when Malawians were told good news was during the one – party state and dictatorship of Dr. Hastings Kamuzu Banda that Bread which was at K70.00 reduced its price to K65.00
He said loans from the World Bank, IMF and DFID were used for the intended purposes and the results were being seen and after Kamuzu Banda and enter multiparty democracy, the Malawi Kwacha has never been appreciating, it has always been depreciating and depreciating till this day.
Speaking through the Revolutionary voice, Jumah has observed that 32 years after 1994 multiparty democracy, the country has been destroyed beyond repair where water and electricity are not easily accessible by the majority of people.
Jumah said 21 million plus citizens are worse than they were in 1994 claiming that the national debt has reached to over MK 26 trillion with nothing to show on the ground.
He said corruption is part of the Malawians blood, chiefs, churches, government, and the whole country is infested and blanketed by corruption leaving no one behind.
The Revolutionary leader said Malawians have chosen darkness defying light observing that those who finish the school of excellence are products of corruption citing Chancellor College, producing the cream of corrupt educated people.
” We are a nation that begs but we live like Kings, the one who gives us money travel by commercial flight and the President of Malawi charter a private jet,” said Jumah.
He said Malawi survives with money from the development partners one being the British Government to fill in the gaps for the country’s budgetary support.
The Revolutionary leader said the Government of Malawi is now under pressure following plans by the British Government to cut its international development budget to Malawi for 2026 – 2027 by 60 percent and decreasing annually by 90 percent from 2028 – 2029.
Jumah said if Malawi is a nation, it needs to sit down with their leaders to walk with their people expressing fears that with the British Government funding cut, taxes will go up beyond the reach of millions of Malawians warning the leaders that if care is not taken, Malawians will not see the future of their country.
He has urged Malawian citizens to rise up not in anger but with courage to save their country from collapsing, assuring them that the future of their country will not come from Heaven like manna, it must be demanded for.
The Revolutionary leader has called for citizen vigilantism by demanding accountability from those in power that Malawi belongs to them.
He has finally advised patriotic Malawians that this is not the time to hold peaceful demonstrations following the British Government’s funding cut but to stand up together to be against the beggar who lives like a King that Malawi cannot beg with one hand and waste with the other that 90 percent for consumption, 10 percent development questioning the authorities in Malawi, who is fooling who?
