Former President Peter Mutharika has donated 1 million kwacha to each pastor of the Blantyre Synod who came to page house for prayers.
The donation is seen as a strategic move to win the support of the influential religious leaders ahead of the upcoming elections.
According to sources, Mutharika has also made several promises to the Blantyre Synod pastors.
If he wins the election, 8 pastors will be appointed as Presidential advisors, 50 will be appointed to parastatal boards, and 50 will be appointed to embassies.
Additionally, some pastors will accompany the President on foreign trips.
In return, the Blantyre Synod pastors are expected to conduct sermons that critique the current government and praise Mutharika.
They are also expected to remind their congregations of the death of Chilima and to tackle the issue of rising prices of goods in their sermons.
Furthermore, there are reports of a planned revolution against some leaders within the Blantyre Synod.
The move has sparked controversy, with some critics accusing Mutharika of attempting to buy the support of the religious leaders.
Others have expressed concern that the donation and promises may compromise the independence and impartiality of the Blantyre Synod pastors.
Meanwhile Blantyre Synod has issued a press release disowning pastors who conducted prayers at page house.
“The Synod would like to publicly confirm that it neither sanctioned,approved nor in any way endorsed the said visit.The ministers concerned did so in their personal capacity and for their own personal interest.”

President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera has taken a proactive step in addressing food security in Malawi by visiting Lombwa Farm in the area of Senior Chief Mkanda in Mchinji.
This inspection, which took place recently, underscores the government’s commitment to promoting commercial farming as a sustainable solution to end hunger in the country.
Upon his arrival at Lombwa Farm, President Chakwera was warmly welcomed by the Minister of Agriculture, Sam Kawale, alongside other senior government officials.
The visit is part of a broader initiative aimed at enhancing agricultural productivity and ensuring that Malawians have access to sufficient food.
The President’s focus on commercial farming is a strategic move to shift Malawi’s agricultural practices from subsistence farming to a more robust commercial approach.
By encouraging farmers to adopt commercial methods, the government aims to increase crop yields, enhance food production, and ultimately reduce the country’s dependency on food aid.
During the inspection, President Chakwera highlighted the importance of innovative agricultural practices and the role of technology in modern farming.
He emphasized that commercial farming can significantly improve livelihoods, create jobs, and stimulate economic growth in rural communities.
“We must harness the potential of our agricultural sector to ensure that every Malawian has enough to eat,” the President remarked, underscoring his administration’s vision for a food-secure nation.
The government has been implementing various policies to support commercial farming, including providing access to credit, modern farming equipment, and training programs for farmers.
These initiatives are designed to empower smallholder farmers, enabling them to increase their production capabilities and engage more effectively in local and regional markets.
Minister of Agriculture Sam Kawale echoed the President’s sentiments, noting that the government is committed to creating an enabling environment for farmers to thrive.
He expressed optimism that with the right support and resources, Malawian farmers can become competitive players in the agricultural sector, not just locally but also internationally.
The visit to Lombwa Farm is more than just a routine inspection; it symbolizes a renewed focus on agriculture as a cornerstone of national development.
With Malawi facing persistent challenges related to food insecurity, the emphasis on commercial farming is seen as a critical step toward building resilience against climate change, economic shocks, and other adversities that threaten food production.
As President Chakwera continues to champion agricultural reforms, stakeholders across the nation are hopeful that these efforts will yield positive results.
The collective ambition is to transform Malawi into a nation where every citizen has access to nutritious food, thereby enhancing overall health and well-being.
In conclusion, President Chakwera’s inspection of Lombwa Farm represents a pivotal moment in Malawi’s agricultural landscape. By promoting commercial farming, the administration aims to tackle hunger head-on, fostering a future where food security is a reality for all Malawians.
The success of these initiatives will depend on collaboration among government, farmers, and other stakeholders in the agricultural sector, all working together towards a common goal of prosperity and food independence.
