A Group of Malawians calling themselves Social Revolution Movement , fed up with the current economic climate today converged at Lilongwe Community Ground to start demonstrations demanding that Vice President Saulos Chilima should be fired as a Minister of Economic Planning.
speaking to reporters before the start of the demos, the group said it is demanding the firing of Saulos Chilima as minister of Economic planning and all presidential advisors on accusing them of wasting tax payers money. The grouping says it wants President Lazarus Chakwera to fire the advisors saying the rising cost of living is as a result of having so many advisors
Leader of the Movement Phunziro Mvula said , the plight of Malawians have gone for worse with the rising costs of necessities and yet government is failing to come up with a sound financial plan to get the country’s economy kicking again . Mvula blamed lack of economic leadership of Saulos Chilima saying , the veep is not fit to hold the position of Economic affairs ministry at this time and should pave way for someone else.
The group also wants the number of Presidential advisors trimmed , saying they are too many for Malawi’s small economy and that many of them do nothing but just waste taxpayers money.
