Government spokesperson Moses Kunkuyu has dismissed allegations by the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) that the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) is responsible for the socio-economic challenges currently facing Malawians. Speaking to the press, Kunkuyu addressed the DPP’s claims as unfounded, stating that the roots of the country’s economic difficulties predate the MCP administration.
“Everyone in the country was there during the DPP regime,” Kunkuyu remarked. “Malawians are well aware that it was the DPP that brought the challenges we are now trying to fix.” He emphasized that the current administration is working hard to address the deep-rooted economic issues inherited from the previous government.
In addition to addressing the DPP’s accusations regarding the economy, Kunkuyu responded to claims that corruption has worsened under the MCP-led government. “It is a lie that corruption levels have increased under the MCP government,” he said. Kunkuyu further stressed that no party in Malawi has shown more interest in tackling corruption than the MCP. He pointed to the MCP’s commitment to transparency, accountability, and the pursuit of justice for those involved in corrupt practices.
Kunkuyu’s defense of the MCP administration comes at a time when the country faces a wide range of economic challenges, including rising inflation, unemployment, and public concerns over government spending. The spokesperson assured Malawians that the government remains focused on resolving these issues and delivering on its promises, while calling on the public to distinguish between fact and political rhetoric.
“The MCP is working for the people, and we will not be swayed by baseless accusations,” Kunkuyu concluded, urging Malawians to remain patient and united as the government continues its efforts to restore the country’s economic stability.
