Mutharika announced the new cabinet on Wednesday with two members from the central region, three from the north and 13 from the south.

George Phiri, a political analyst at the University of Livingstonia said Mutharika should have included technocrats than the usual politicians who are there to serve the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) than the government.

He also wondered why the president has bloated his team of advisors
