President and Commander in Chief of Muvi wa Chilungamo Revolutionary Party (MRP) Bantu Saunders Jumah, has praised Minister of Information and Digitalization Moses Kunkuyu as a master-minder of change in Malawi.
Jumah said he expected Kunkuyu to bring transformation in the MCP led government of President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera saying it is sad that the MCP is being hated because it has lost direction with its campaign promises not fulfilled.
He said the MCP commanded 1.7 million votes in the June, 2020 elections but today, the party cannot claim that these voters are still with them claiming that many people have lost hope with the party forgetting that the party came into power because of DPP arrogance.
Speaking through a Revolutionary voice, Jumah has expressed fears that 1.7 million people that voted for the MCP into government in June, 2020 are the victims of lies making others think that DPP and Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika were the devils better off than the MCP and President Chakwera.
Jumah said the country’s economy has faced an earthquake under President Chakwera and is more similar to the war taking place in Gaza between Israel and militants, democracy under siege, people dying of eating wild roots, no forex beside the MCP government borrowing K12.5 trillion in just 4 years.
He said the national debt has risen from K3.16 trillion the MCP found in June, 2020 to K15.5 trillion claiming that every government is changed because people want transformation through reforms but unfortunately, President Chakwera has maintained what the DPP was doing in government.
The MRP President has assured Kunkuyu being a democrat himself that Malawi will never and ever go back to one-party state and dictatorship saying in 2020 every Malawian expected a blanket transformation and reforms in the country not knowing that Chakwera was cheating them.
He said the Malawi citizens are angry with President Chakwera for over-turning the hard-won democracy of 1994 to a one-party state and dictatorship assuring Kunkuyu and Chakwera that no single person, party or government will change Malawi back to one- party state and dictatorship.
Jumah has assured the MCP that even if they can manipulate figures with the NRB, Smartmatic firm for already a broken system to rig the 2025 elections, this will not work claiming that even the Chewas in the central region of Malawi are feeling the pain more than those in other regions of Malawi.
“President Chakwera has abandoned all the friends and colleagues who supported him to perform his doctrine in government for a one-party state and autocracy,” said Jumah.
He has finally pleaded with 21 registered political parties in Malawi to love and be patriotic the country first their interest second for a democratic government in Malawi to be of the people, for the people and by the people.
