Chakwera barnstorms North Malawi, says MCP ready to govern

Malawi Congress Party (MCP) president Lazarus Chakwera is continuing with a whistle-stop political tour in the Northern Region and says he is ready to govern the country and bring meaningful development.

The tour has taken Chakwera to Mzimba, Chitipa and on Thursday he has been addressing meetings in the border district of Karonga.

In his address at the meetings which Times Radio aired live, Chakwera said the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) administration has “miserably failed” to deliver on its socio-economic promises to Malawians and urged people to register in voters roll and usher in his MCP in power.

He promised to fight corruption, improve living standards, transform the economy, provide good governance and ensure equity and equality.

“We are actually ready to develop Malawi beyond imagination,” said Chakwera.

Chakwera said there is no need for Malawians to keep DPP in power as it has failed to govern the country often feeding Malawians lies and stealing from them and torturing them.

He promised prosperity for all under MCP administration and do things differently from DPP which he accused of delivering prosperity to a select few.

During the tour, Chakwera also visited a market and bought some vegetables from a female trader.

He said when MCP takes over power next year, he will encourage cross-border trade with Tanzania and Zambia, saying currently there is no cordial relationship between Malawi leadership and neighbouring countries.

“We do not have a good relationship with our neighbours  but as MCP we are going to change that once voted into government,” said Chakwera.

Chakwera stressed that he was ready to bring economic transformation for Malawi, saying “give me an opportunity and see.”

FAKE PASTOR!!!!!!!! Chakwera,do not cheat those uneducated supporters of yours.The fact of the matter is that,MCP is not going to win in 2019 elections when they will remember their blood which has smeared your hands and that of the brutal young pioneers and Hastings Banda himself.32 years of blood-stains is not simple to forget.On top of that,the Quata system that victimised Northerners, is none-forgetable and the deportations of Northern teachers and other workers is a deed that makes hated Northerners never to forget.The winner of the next elections in 2019,is ,whether you like it or not,is Chilima and his formidable… Read more »

Winston Msowoya do not cheat yourself. A UTM mpaka mwafika pomayitukwana MCP? Mwafika liti mu ground la ndale? Chilima has no capacity to win the elections. If anything the battle will be between Dpp and MCP. Watch this space.

God directs us to forgive and forget and no wonder the kids of Matenje, Chiwanga etc have rejoined MCP!! If the Creator directs us to forgive, who are you Winston Msowoya to say no, to Him? Further whose politician’s blood has tainted Chakwera’s hands? Was he in MCP NEC then!! Iwe ndi mtifi and too primitive ndithudiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Nde walemba m’madzitu because everybody now knows the truth and can never buy your wicked mindset & satanic thinking!!

This Matchona Winston Msowoya is a pathetic fellow. Not long ago, he was showering Aford with praises. By the way Mr. Msowoya, Issa Njaunju was savagely murdered by DPP government whose vice president was/is saulos Chilima. Okay.

MCP ! MCP! You only concentrate and commemorate the life of Kamuzu…..Why don’t you, for once, do the same for the founder and first president of your party? As long as you ignore Orton Chirwa you will not bounce back to power. He founded your party but handed over power to Kamuzu not through the ballot but just-like-that! in a gentleman’s way! Few would do this in Malawi….Tembo and Gwanda kept fighting for party presidency and even divided themselves into hostile camps. Nobody wanted the other to lead… You banned the founder of your party from Malawi…He escaped and hid… Read more »

To talk of Kamuzu and MCP now is a total waste of time and we will not go anywhere. Wrongs were done and some who did such evil are still alive and in various political parties. Everyone was MCP then but that is under the bridge now. I cannot continue to point fingers at aCheya, or that spokes person, no. We need to move on and prepare for the coming generation. We all know where we went wrong and we can deal with it for a better Malawi.
