Revolutionary leader of Muvi wa Chilungamo Revolutionary Party (MRP) Bantu Saunders Jumah, says Malawi stopped having servant leaders the day democracy and multiparty got misinterpreted in 1994 claiming that many thought it is time to break the laws.
Jumah said Malawi has been a nation under the law from 1964 to 1994 saying citizens were not abiding to all the laws but there was sanity in the abiding of the laws governed by one party state.
He said it was the wish of all leaders who fought democracy and multiparty in exile that the people be under the law but politicians living in the country misinterpreted multiparty as time to do what pleases one.
The Revolutionary leader said from 1994, many people started breaking the law observing that before multiparty democracy, land management was under the law, 32 years later, land management is not the law, politicians are in the forefront breaking the laws in land management for their own benefit.
He has noted with a great concern that the country’s economy is continuing shrinking, the local currency is continuing to devalue itself and again, today, Malawi is a vulnerable nation, poverty is multiplying in the hearts of citizens.
Jumah said Malawi is one country which has failed to set its foundation based on the law, saying this is the reason the country is failing to prosper because it has no foundation, Malawi has become a playing ground for all, including foreigners.
” Foreigners are vending on our resources, those that are enforcing the laws are politicians, the leadership fail to maintain the laws, they are involved in black markets selling Dollars, the country has been messed up,” said Jumah.
He said Malawi is a country that is governed by the laws but politicians have managed to weaken the laws through their concentration on state corruption, claiming that ever since democracy and multiparty politics were introduced in 1994, no leader has defended corruption but condoned it.
The Revolutionary leader said what people in Malawi see is not the crisis of leadership but justice saying this is why Muvi wa Chilungamo – the Spear of Truth has risen up to be the voice of the voiceless citizens that resources of Malawi benefit all regions, and corruption is punished not protected.
He has appealed to Malawians regardless of their political party affiliations to join the Movement for Change by standing up, speaking out, organizing and mobilizing themselves in pushing for the country’s real transformation.
He has expressed hope that everyone in the country will rise up and speak out, for how long shall the citizens continue to suffer while politicians are enjoying and for for how long shall their country be poor while it has abundant resources to make itself rich?
The Revolutionary leader said change must come from each and every person that together they can rebuild their country and bring justice by saying enough is enough, power people power.
