President Dr. Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera has advised Malawians to borrow a leaf from the life lived by late Honorable Daniel Chiwere.
Chiwere, a Malawi Congress Party (MCP) Member of Parliament for Dedza Central Constituency died on Monday at Kamuzu Central Hospital in Lilongwe.
Speaking during the burial ceremony on Thursday 20th July 2023 which took place at Kalinyeke Primary School Ground in Dedza, Chakwera described Chiwere as an honorable and peaceful man who dedicated his life to serving his people and contributed positively to the development of the country.
“Chiwere has left us with an example of what a hardworking, selfless leader looks like. He does not have a bad reputation and was never accused of corruption or theft,” said the Malawi leader.
He added: “He spent his life in peace and loved to unite people everywhere he was.”
The president thanked the people of Dedza for being understanding amidst the various hardships the country is facing, saying the behavior they have shown is something that needs to be admired and emulated.
Speaking earlier, MCP Secretary General Eisenhower Mkaka said the party has lost a very hardworking and dedicated person who played a big role during the 2019 campaign period when the party was in opposition.
Chiwere’s death comes barely few weeks after the passing of his wife and has been buried on his birthday, July 20.
He served as a legislator for Dedza Central Constituency for close to ten years from 2014, until his death.
