President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera has urged Malawians to accept that some things are moving in the county while others, not dismissing claims which are being made by some other people that the MCP government has done nothing in their 5 years of stay in government.
Dr. Chakwera said a person can fall seven times and he gets up saying in a country where devaluation of the local currency is by 44 percent, the country could have ended on the same spot saying the country has sailed through Tropical Cyclones, Cholera, and other natural disasters.
He said while the country has gone through various natural disasters making many people fail to access safe and portable water, the heathy systems have not collapsed saying over 2 million people in Malawi have access to water.
Speaking during prayer of service at Kanjedza First Assembly Church in Blantyre on Sunday, President Chakwera admitted that food has become a challenge in Malawi claiming that 23 districts were affected by El Nino winds making maize crops to dry up.
President Chakwera thanked the Almighty God that while hunger is in the midst of people, people are still getting the food assuring Malawians that no one will die of hunger in the country saying enough maize will be produced through irrigation systems and mega farms.
On the challenges of fuel, forex, fertilizers and cement, President Chakwera blamed the business people for the sabotage saying he will not allow the future of the country to be destroyed because some other people wants to put their fellow people n slavery.
“This will not continue, we will fight till the end, I urge the church to continue praying for us to be doing better, if I have wronged you, forgive,” said President Chakwera.
Business entrepreneur Kondwani Kachamba Ngwira writing on his face book page says Malawi is the first country in the world to plant mega farms across the country observing that all regions are growing maize.
Kachamba Ngwira says other individual farmers were provided with special agricultural loans in billions and billions of Kwachas through NEEF to support farming noting with a great concern that 5 years later, the country has no maize and will import from countries that did not plant mega farms in the last 5 years.
“As if that is not enough, the leadership continue praising the same mega farms as evidence of good projects well delivered last 5 years,” reads Ngwira’s writings on the wall.
