Grezelder Jeffrey commends Dr. Chakwera for development efforts

By Burnett Munthali

Grezelder Jeffrey, the former Secretary General of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and now a member of the Malawi Congress Party (MCP), has praised the government of Dr. Lazarus Chakwera for its development initiatives, which she says are being implemented across all regions, including the city of Lilongwe.

Jeffrey noted that the current appearance of the capital city aligns with its status as the country’s administrative center, a significant improvement from how it looked in previous years. She emphasized that the visible changes in infrastructure and services in Lilongwe reflect the commitment of Chakwera’s government to enhancing urban development.

“Lilongwe is now a true capital city, thanks to the developmental work being carried out by this government,” Jeffrey remarked during her speech, acknowledging that the efforts are benefiting all Malawians.

Additionally, Jeffrey took a moment to comment on the former president, Dr. Bakili Muluzi, criticizing his refusal to compete for the leadership of the United Democratic Front (UDF) at the party’s recent convention. She stated that Muluzi’s decision to step aside and allow younger leaders to take charge is a sign that he has recognized the importance of youth leadership within the party.

Her remarks have sparked discussions about the role of older politicians and the future of leadership in Malawi’s political landscape.
