President Dr. Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera has advised well liquid Malawians to use their money to add value to local goods and services before exporting them to other countries rather than using them only on consumption.
Speaking at Chigumukire School Ground in Chileka, Blantyre on Monday
during the commemoration of International Human Rights Day, Chakwera also urged Malawians who have an upper hand in economic and social privilege to ensure the creation of opportunities for the less privileged.
Chakwera said there is a growing culture in the country for everyone to look after themselves.
The Malawi leader condemned the selfish culture of most Malawians who have more disposable income than others.
Chakwera explained that true measure of success is not how much more you have than others, but how many opportunities you are creating for others.
Emphasized President Chakwera, “Those with more disposable income must remember that privileged education is not for themselves only but also for others. Let us create opportunities for others.”
United Nations (UN) Resident Coordinator for Malawi, Rebecca Adda – Dontoh, hailed the Chakwera led administration for creating an enabling environment for the protection of the marginalised such as women, children, the disabled, the elderly and refugees.
