Sunganimoyo claims Malawi being let down by the educated

0

By Vincent Gunde

The New Liberation Party (NLP) President, Isaiah Emmanuel Sunganimoyo, says Malawi is a country of shame claiming that people who are destroying it are those who are highly educated and those who have money to fool the uneducated ones.

Sunganimoyo said these people have a command through their educational qualifications and some have Doctorate Degrees and money forcing the uneducated people to be easily convinced with their policies and ideas and they are largely followed by many people.

He said not all who have worth are the ones linked to destroying the country but those connected to politics in the name of servant leadership saying these ones are the ones preaching and labelling Malawi as a poor country while them are richer than Malawi.

Speaking through an audio clip circulating in various social media platforms, Sunganimoyo has claimed that politicians who are less educated and have worth are the ones who are being used by well educated people sponsoring violence and other forms of human harassment.

Sunganimoyo said all the political parties that have ruled the country from MCP 1 of Ngwazi Dr. Hastings Kamuzu Banda, UDF, DPP, PP and the current MCP have failed to develop the country in the interest and wishes of Malawians besides their leaders having title holders like Doctors and Professors.

He said some Malawians are of the view that President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera has failed to deliver in what many thought that he would rule the country totally different from the DPP but he has copied and pasted what the DPP was doing in the country hence no change for the country.

The NLP leader said the only problem he is seeing in President Chakwera is his failure to recognize the needs and aspirations of the citizens observing that Malawians don’t need roads as a priority of the priority area by government but food to be bought at prices the poor can afford.

He said President Chakwera is implementing long-term development infrastructures citing high quality roads in the country’s cities and towns observing that the road infrastructures in Lilongwe alone in two to three years to come, will be a paradise.

“Poor Malawians are not appreciating what President Chakwera is delivering through roads infrastructures because their priority number one is food which is high not suiting their pockets,” said Sunganimoyo.

He said Malawians will speak for themselves on whether or not President Chakwera has delivered on 16th September, 2025 saying the ballot box will decide it and not the way some Malawians are voting him out of government  through their mouths.
