Former President of the Republic of Malawi who is also DPP leader Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika, has expressed his deep concern over the country going back to one-party state and dictatorship as observed with hackings, terrorizing innocent people and arresting people on free- speech.
Professor Mutharika has urged all Malawians that wants Malawi to go out of MCP dictatorship to go door -to –door mobilizing one another to vote for the DPP assuring them that he is ready to liberate the country in a quest to build a new Malawi.
He said vote is the only weapon to change the country, to bring in a government that has the welfare of people at heart and removing a bad government urging all to take the aged, those who are sick by giving them Panadol to vote for the DPP for the country to see the difference.
Speaking at Katoto ground in Mzuzu on Sunday when he launched the 2025 DPP manifesto and campaign, Professor Mutharika assured Malawians that on the 16th September, 2025 Malawi will be liberated and MCP vote rigging scheme will be impossible.
Professor Mutharika noted with a great concern that Malawi remain number 3 of the world’s poorest country and its people are living below poverty line that even their faces are reading that they are the sufferers and have no hope for a better tomorrow.
He said he will rebuild Malawi from the 17th September, 2025 saying he has set up an Economic Rescue Committee comprising of economists and business people to look at the country’s economy that his first program in government will be on the issues of forex and the debts which have chained the country from moving forward.
The DPP leader said the DPP manifesto is people centred development claiming that Singapore was the poorest country in 1964 and after investing heavily in education, the country is rich claiming that no country can develop without education.
He said this is why in the DPP manifesto, secondary school education will be free, saying the whole idea is to make as many learners attend secondary school education expressing hope that parents, guardians and learners themselves have welcomed the DPP manifesto.
‘” I want Malawi to grow, I will continue the DPP programs of building Community Technical Colleges on the basis that a country without technical people cannot grow,” said Mutharika.
He said he will continue with Malata-Cement program to make sure that sleeping in grass-roofed houses be a thing of yesterday informing the people that by the time he was ousted out of government, the program already constructed 15,000 houses.
The DPP mega rally in Mzuzu was also attended by its electoral alliance partners such as Enock Kamzingeni Chihana, Frank Tumpale Mwefumbo, Bishop Dr. David Mbewe, among other dignitaries.
