Minister of Trade and Industry, Vitumbiko Mumba,says he and other senior members of the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) will not relent in their efforts until President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera wins the election again on September 16 this year.
Mumba said this at a political rally he held at Njamba Freedom Park in Blantyre on Sunday.
The minister said Chakwera is working tirelessly and impartially for the country’s development,and urged Malawians to unite and give him support.
“My ministerial duties keep me very busy and I am constantly working. I have even been assisting exploited workers on estates. All this is happening under Chakwera’s leadership,” said Mumba.
He further said that he will not tolerate the actions of certain politicians who collude with some businesspeople to artificially inflate prices, until the situation returns to normalcy in the country.
On his part,veteran politician and MCP member, Brown Mpinganjira, said Chakwera will win the upcoming election due to the various development projects undertaken during the past four years.
“We are supporting the President because of various development projects such as the roads he has constructed in Lilongwe.This development has also reached the Southern Region,” said Mpinganjira.
In her remarks,former Deputy Speaker of Parliament and MCP member, Esther Mcheka Chilenje,lauded Mumba for his dedicated service to the people of the country.
“Minister Mumba is the only minister I know who works tirelessly, even at night,” said Chilenje.
She commended Chakwera for appointing young leaders like Mumba to key positions within his government.
