Alliance for Democracy (AFORD) leader Enock Chihana says he is confident enough that he can fix most of the problems Malawians are facing in the Tonse Alliance administration within 100 days of being in power as Malawi President.
Speaking on Sunday last week in Mangochi during party’s 30 years celebrations of its existence, Chihana said ending hunger crisis, high inflation rate, high poverty rate, corruption and fuel scarcity is not a hard task for him.
“I am urging you Malawians to give me votes come 2025 general elections. I promise you that within 100 days of my leadership, I will try to fix every problem you Malawians are passing through.
“As a party we have solutions to deal with issues rocking the country such as fuel crisis, food shortage, forex crisis among others,”challenged Chihana.
The AFORD leader then called on President Lazarus Chakwera to fire non-perfoming ministers in his cabinet and seek advice from people of goodwill on how to manage state affairs.
“Why keeping a large number of cabinet ministers of which many are failing to perform and deliver the best to Malawians. I want Chakwera to fire some of his non-performing ministers so as he manages the state of affairs well,” he said.
He claimed that the Tonse Alliance administration has lost direction and Malawians are sailing through turbulent waters as the economy is in bad shape.
The AFORD leader added theirs is the only surviving party that can lift the lives of Malawians currently trapped in myriad of challenges.
Chihana also took advantage of the gathering to take a swipe on the National Registration Bureau(NRB) for allegedly registering minors ahead of 26 September by-elections in Mwasa Ward in the district.
He described the development as unfortunate.
He further claimed that about 40 thousand people from other parties have joined AFORD.
