Chakwera fails to live up on promise to meet Leader of Opposition

President Lazarus Chakwera has failed to live up to his promise of meeting Leader of Opposition in parliament to discuss issues of national importance.

President Chakwera: No meeting yet with opposition leader

Chakwera made the promise after taking the presidential oath that he would be meeting the Leader of Opposition in parliament every three month to exchange notes on issues of national importance.

Leader of Opposition Kondwani Nankhumwa said he has received no communication on the promised meetings.

“However, I don’t want to take it as a delayed engagement. The President has a full five years to rule this country and he has only done six months. He needs time to settle down. At an opportune time, he shall come out,” said Nankhumwa in a written response.

Chakwera is said to be at working Christmas working vacation in Chikoko Bay in Mangochi but a few weeks ago, Presidential Press Secretary, Brian Banda said the Malawi leader remained committed to fulfilling the pledge made during his inauguration on July 6 2020.

  1. Sometimes anthu enanu mumandidabwitsaa ma comment anu. You mean you don’t know leader of opposition? Love him or hate him nzanu akulandila ma perks a LOP bachedwani ndi ma jealous anuwo

  2. Too early to point him fingers.

    The H.E has been in government for only 6 months and he inherited the government with was completely rotten.

    Lets give him time and we should put him in prayers so the he sould fulfill his promises.

  3. Who is the Leader of opposition? Because we all know there are squabbles in the Main Opposition DPP on who is the LOP. So the President does not want to take sides and legitimize Nankhumwa who has no support of the Party Leadership. Let DPP iron out their differences and provide the country with one name. HE will meet that person. Otherwise dont drag HE into internal DPP politics. PERIOD

  4. nanga dziko lino lili ndi leader of opposition oti Chakwera nkukumana naye?? akumana ndi ndani, Nankhumwa kapena Francis Katsaira??? gwirizanani kaye mutipatse leader of opposition mmodzi oti dziko limulandire….too many camps in dpp nde Chakwera akumana ndani????

    1. Who is the Leader of Opposition? You next want to say he is meddling with affairs of the DPP? Sankhani mmodzi kaye

  6. I think it is because there is no leader of opposition yet, DPP is still fighting within itself for this position. So the right response from Nankhumwa should have been “he will meet the leader of opposition when DPP finally settles down”

  7. Leader of a rebel Group not DPP or opposition. Too much insubordination. Komanso mu dpp analowetsamo wina wake osokononeza . Bitter because he lost Member of Parliament kwa mwanayu. Nkhondo yake yobvuta

  8. Nankhumwa don’t sount diplomatic. The truth of the matter is that the President lied to us because this is what some of us have been waiting to see happening to know what your engagement would be like and how it would benefit the nation. So far, Chakwera has lost an opportunity to make a first as it has never happened with the previous administrations.Biden is making several firsts in the US an indication that he was able to spot mistakes of other governments and capitalize on them to surprise the nation and do things differently.

  9. Okhamula ntchito ikhale ya ulonda on Chakweras promises? Was it signed anywhere? Is this a law? Give him time, Nankhumwa will be communicated. Take heart Owen with your Nyasatimes.
