Muvi wa Chilungamo Revolutionary Party (MRP) says Malawi is in deep crisis of economic, constitutional, political and social turmoil because President Dr. Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera does not keep his word.
MRP says to show that President Chakwera does not know what he is doing and that he is a man of his words, he has defied his own words by making a trip to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) just to witness the Swearing in ceremony of President of the DRC Felix Tshisekedi.
The Party says President Chakwera directed austerity measures and directed that no Minister or Principal Secretary must take international or regional trips out of Malawi and that all the fuel and travel allowances allocated be trimmed by half.
In a statement signed by its President and Commander in Chief Bantu Saunders Jumah, MRP says unfortunately, with the measures in place, Ministers and members of cabinet kept travelling and there is no proof that there were deductions in the allocation of travel allowances.
The MRP has claimed that seeing that the directives were not working and that his economic strategies were not functioning and that the Kwacha lost its value by 44 percent, President Chakwera again directed “Volume 2” Austerity measures by banning all international trips of all civil servants including all trips he planned.
The Party says President Chakwera also commanded civil servants who were outside the country to come back and their trips cut short in order to save the ailing economy unfortunately, more than three Ministers were abroad and none of them came back as per the president’s directive.
The MRP has cautioned President Chakwera not to take Malawi and its citizens for granted observing that he is breaking his own declaration proving his complete failure of the country lamenting that the President thinks that citizens of Malawi are fools or cannot be able to hold him accountable.
“This country respects and admires the Office of the President but in Chakwera’s 4 years in office, he has diluted, belittled, humiliated, and mocked the highest office, a President of the country must be thoughtful, devoted, resolute, acute and a promise-keeper,” reads part of the statement.
The MRP says President Chakwera has clearly shown his failure and is not fit to hold such an office calling on the government of President Chakwera to realize that this country is not amused of his dishonest saying citizens are disappointed.
The party has claimed that a President who does not walk his talk, who does not keep his word and who forgets what he promises, risks the country into chaos, havoc and turmoil observing that this is the state Malawi is, it is in pandemonium, in destruction and in confusion.
The MRP says as a new political party coming to change the political, economic and social trajectory of Malawi, condemn and fault President Chakwera for the mess the country is in observing that no country will stop corruption when the president is a liar.
The party has further claimed that no country can develop when the president does not honour his words, and no country can move forward when and if the President of the country runs or governs in dishonesty and distortions.
