Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) National Women’s Director, Mary Navicha, has pledged to tackle Malawi’s economic challenges, citing the devastating impact of fuel price increases on already burdened citizens ¹. Navicha emphasized that the kwacha’s weakening value has severely affected local traders, particularly women.
“The continuous depreciation of our currency has made it difficult for our women to make ends meet,” Navicha stated. “We cannot sit back and wat the country, stressing the need for urgent solutions. “Food insecurity is a major concern, and we must prioritize sustainable agriculture practices to ensure food availability,” she added.
Regarding the recent Chikangawa plane crash and Chikwawa-Nsanje highway incidents, Navicha demanded a comprehensive report be presented to the National Assembly. “We need transparency and accountability in these matters,” she emphasized.
The DPP has consistently opposed fuel price hikes, walking out of the National Assembly in protest against proposed price increases ¹. The party argues that such hikes would exacerbate poverty and inequality.
Navicha’s statements come amid growing concerns over Malawi’s economic stability. The country faces significant challenges, including a struggling agriculture sector and inadequate infrastructure.
