President and Commander in Chief of Muvi wa Chilungamo Revolutionary Party (MRP) Bantu Saunders Jumah, has expressed his grave concern over Malawi sinking into K15.1 trillion extravagance borrowing and over-expenditure for consumption by President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera and his MCP government.
Jumah said the MCP government cannot stand up to show Malawians what it has done with K15.1 trillion borrowed in 4 years chaining Malawians and the future generations to come claiming that most of this money entered into the pockets of senior MCP politicians for big mansions in cities and towns.
He said Muvi wa Chilungamo made a prophecy that by the time the MCP will leave office, the national debts will reach over K18 trillion saying Muvi wa Chilungamo prophecy has come to pass, K15.1 trillion debt making the MCP the most extravagance and overspending government Malawians have ever witnessed since 1994.
Speaking through a Revolutionary voice in various social media platforms, Jumah said former President Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika and DPP left K3.16 trillion debt claiming that out of this figure, there’s Bingu National Sports Stadium, BICC, MUST and the state-of-the-art hospital in Nkhatabay.
Jumah has expressed fears that the country’s economists are just watching this extravagance and overspending by President Chakwera and his MCP government joining hands of handclappers that “Boma ndilomweli silikuchoka” this government will continue bringing untold sufferings to Malawians.
He has asked Malawians to open their eyes that President Chakwera and his MCP are doing everything possible to remain in power warning Malawians that if indeed Chakwera will bounce back in 2025, it will be a disaster for Malawi as a country and the generations to come.
The MRP President said as of 4th September, 2024 Malawi has a debt of K15.1 trillion and what would happen if Chakwera and his MCP are given another 5 years to run to 2030 saying this is speaking to itself that there will be no Malawi.
“President Chakwera is on a global trotting mission borrowing for consumptions and not for the good of the country and citizens,” said Jumah.
He has called upon the House of Parliament to change the law that is allowing national IDs to be used during 2025 elections assuring government that Malawians are rejecting the decision and will do everything possible that elections must not be held in 2025 if government insists on this.
Jumah has warned the MCP government that the coming elections in 2025 are not for MCP vs DPP, Dr. Lazarus Chakwera vs Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika, it will be citizens taking back their country from greedy politicians of the MCP, mafias, crooks and thieves.
He has advised President Chakwera to listen to the will of the majority Malawians so that the 2025 elections be conducted without national Identity Cards and if government wants to maintain these IDs as part of rigging scheme, in 2025 there will be no elections and no government.
