Pioneer of Muvi wa Chilungamo visionary news, Bantu Saunders Jumah, has advised President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera to stop accusing the main opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) for creating a mess the country is facing today.
In his recent national address, President Chakwera warned all those who are in the position of leadership and who know that they are responsible for creating the mess the country is in that he will deal with them soon enough.
Jumah has, however, asked Chakwera to instead threaten officials in his own government and himself for the mess the country is in today observing that lack of physical financial discipline and rampant corruption have created the mess in his government.
Speaking through his face book page followed by millions of people in Malawi and Africa, Jumah has pleaded with President Chakwera to stop blaming the DPP for the mess in government reminding him that DPP and Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika did not send him to borrow K8 trillion in his 3 years he has been in government.
Jumah said it is sad that President Chakwera each and every time has been blaming the DPP for every mistake in his government advising him to learn from his mistakes by accepting the wrong and do what is right for the citizens to restore their lost trust in him.
He observed that President Chakwera is failing to point a figure at himself, his Vice Dr. Saulosi Chilima and Cabinet Ministers who are also doing the same saying no wonder that they are all in jovial mood celebrating Extended Credit Facility (ECF) from the IMF for an early Christmas.
The Muvi Visionary news Pioneer has therefore, reminded Malawians that in 2006 during the reign of the DPP under Professor Bingu wa Mutharika, IMF and World Bank wrote-off Malawi’s debts and because of over excitement for landslide victory in 2009, Professor Bingu wa Mutharika started borrowing money from the international community.
He said from 2009-2019 the three leaders: Professor Bingu wa Mutharika, Madam Dr. Joyce Banda and Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika borrowed from the international community K3,16 trillion in public debts.
Jumah said from June, 2020 to 16th November, 2023 the MCP government under President Chakwera squandered K5,18 trillion with no visible project on the ground claiming that this is minus Makanjira Road project by Saudi Fund and IMF’s Extended Credit Facility Programme worth US$174 million.
“The IMF and World Bank have opened the doors to chain Malawi pushing public debts to K8 Trillion and with K3,16 trillion left by three governments, the debts have reached over K11 trillion,” said Jumah.
He expressed fears that by the election date in September, 2025 the public debts will be over K15 trillion warning Malawians that the IMF and World Bank can do any means to come back and write-off the country’s debts after 2006.
Jumah has liken the MCP as a bad carpenter who always blame his tools advising President Chakwera that if he need development in Malawi, the first enabler is mindset change that K8 trillion public debts was not borrowed by the DPP.

Leader of Mass Movement for Economic Revolution who is also Commandant and Secretary General of Malawi First Comrade Redson Munlo, says President Dr. Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera has no solution to the country’s dwindling economy.
Munlo said President Chakwera from June, 2020 has been going through Try and Error which has seen the Malawi Kwacha losing its value against the American Dollar speaking for itself that he has totally failed in the principles of economics.
He said the issue of fuel has been not resolved since President Chakwera came to power in June, 2020 saying this also applies to Affordable Input Programme (AIP) which has not produced the most intended results of food security in Malawi.
Speaking through an audio clip circulating in various social media platforms, Munlo said the devaluation of the Malawi Kwacha by 44 percent has affected many Malawians completely shuttering their hopes that they have a President to look after their welfare.
Munlo said 44 percent devaluation of the Kwacha is time of crying over Malawi particularly for civil servants saying the government of the MCP cannot raise civil servants’ salaries by 44 percent a development which is worrisome to all.
He said President Chakwera has for 3 years failed to change Malawi and is remaining with 2 years which is almost impossible to change claiming that the endless issues of no medicines in hospitals, forex, fuel, salaries to civil servants will remain a challenge as long as Chakwera continues ruling the country.
The Activist said President Chakwera has failed and is the solution to the country’s problems, he must leave office for the country to move forward claiming that Malawians do not need him to change things, he has failed.
“Chakwera has no clue on how government business is run saying time is now for him to resign honorably by himself or waiting for the 2025 vote or Malawians will force him to resign, Malawians have lost trust in him as their President,” said Munlo.
Munlo has observed that some Malawians are working to misguide fellow Malawians that elections be held on 21st May, 2024 not September, 2025 reminding Malawians that in 2020 a Bill was tabled in Parliament, this was passed into law with the President’s signature and the Ministry of Justice gazetted it in the Republican Constitution.
He has since urged Malawians to fight so hard that the bill be brought back to Parliament to change the election date with a warning that failure by Parliament to deliberate on the date, elections date still stands September, 2025.
