As Malawi continues to rot and stink in all her development spheres Almighty Lord has heard all cries and has considered the hot tears of blood of all Malawians. He has answered our prayers through Enoch Kamzingeni Chihana.
For those not in the much know, EKC is a clear reflection of existence of excellent political leadership. EKC is here to bail out Malawians from an inferno of poor leadership sandwiched with grave sins of increasing hunger and poverty among all Malawians. Malawi is in a horrendous tragedy. EKC is indeed the only panacea of hope.
Chihana
It is of wonder and regret that brains of visionaries and revolutionaries in Commander-in-Chief Timothy Pagonachi Mtambo calculated it with highest degree of wisdom and made a transparent decision to join forces with EKC. Underestimating this relief of political combination is mere child play. Believe it, Chihana and Mtambo will shake all mountains and shock the beloved nation.
To say the truth, Malawians are suffering due to ungodliness and unrighteousness of Malawi Congress Party.
Apostle Paul writes, “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth (Romans 1:18).

“Secondly, I wanted His Excellency the Prime Minister to commemorate with us the 35 years of fruitful friendship and development cooperation between our two countries. Thirdly, I wanted him to see, for himself, the tremendous impact that the money from the taxpayers of Iceland is making in Malawi as a result of the unique and targeted approach his country has adopted in Malawi, which receives more development support from Iceland than any other country. I am pleased to report that all three objectives for this visit have been achieved,” said Chakwera.
