Chakwera says MCP to introduce National Youth Service when elected Malawi leader
Malawi Congress Party (MCP) presidential candidate Lazarus Chakwera has maintained that if elected the country’s leader on July 2 polls, his MCP administration will introduce National Youth Service Programme aimed at curbing unemployment among the youth in the country and empowering them economically.
Speaking when he addressed a political campaign rally at Mzuzu Stadium upper ground on Sunday, Chakwera said the country needs a strong leader to address challenges that youths in the country are facing
He said MCP if voted into power will make sure young people and women have access to loans and venture in businesses and eliminate corruption which hinders the country’s developmental projects.
Chakwera, who said youths form the majority of the population but there has been no political will to ensure that they should enjoy the country’s economic fruits, promised to construct Mzuzu Youth Centre.
He also promised to raise the zero-rated tax band from K45 000 to K100 000, construct the stalled Mombera University in Mzimba, new campus for Mzuzu University, Orton Chirwa International Airport in Mzuzu as well as complete construction of the Njakwa-Livingstonia and Jenda-Edingeni roads.
During the Mzuzu rally, former president Joyce Banda called for a peaceful campaign.
“Dr. Bakili Muluzi, who is also former President of the country and I need to lead in preaching for a peaceful campaign so that we remain non-violent.
“I take myself and Dr. Muluzi as elderly statesmen who should be ahead in preaching for peace so that as the country goes to the polls, peace prevails,”she said.
Two main contenders in the July 2 fresh presidential election are State President Prof. Arthur Peter Mutharika of Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and Chakwera of MCP.
Mutharika’s running mate is United Democratic Front (UDF) president, Atupele Muluzi and for Chakwera it is Saulos Chilima of UTM.
MCP ife toto! Inatikwana zaka 30. Zanuzo uko
MYP takana. MCP takana – we don’t want Malawi Crocodiles Party.
Malawi Young Pioneer lero? MCP on its violent path. Not surprising because Chakwera is a relative of John Tembo t- the notorious MCP killer. Tembo handpicked Chakwera and imposed him on MCP so that he can continue MCP’s bloody violence on us.
You have to really have a death wish or be illiterately stubborn to vote for these guys. PIONEER?? MYP?? AYUFI!! today?? 2020??? mxiii. Vauchindere!!
Only one positive comment about the likely scheme that would benefit the youth. All we hear from the so-called youth advocates is “we want the youth to be included in this or that; to take part in this or that” etc, etc but nothing is said as to how this will be achieved.
What I read from the story is that the youth will have a Youth Centre through which they will have opportunities to access loans and venture into business.
Is this interpreted as introducing the once dreaded MYP?
What exactly do we want for our youth? Definitely not what self appointed Youth Champions are ranting about.

Next time you go there please tell them other things.
pioneer yopanda zida izakhala bwino kwambiri chifukwa taonani lero zakudya zikusowa mu chipatala hey Malawi
Malawi Young Pioneers ikayamba choncho apa zikuwonetsrlatu kuti MCP ikufuna kubweretsanso MYP infact ayamba kale Kokoliko
Let there be a distinct line between MYP and National Youth Service
Otherwise this could be a trojan horse for a return to a bitter period in which JWITNESSES bore the brunt of MCP wrath
Please Bwana Chakwera & Chilima never ever take us for a ride it’s easy to slip into the world of chicanery because politicians are a treacherous lot
Today our democracy is a lollipop because our judiciary has interpreted the law to our satisfaction
May the bench continue sheltering our democratic tenets
He is a man of God so he needs to be careful what he promises. Promise only what you can fulfil. Talk is cheap.
Good idea Laz ,BUT the fear is it might turn into anotger MYP..many won’t trust this idea..giving you benefit of doubt though
Kkkkkkk ! We don’t want MYP Reverend Chakwera.
Nambo amangwetu! Malawi Young Pioneer ijanso ikubwelera. Kwa inu ana obadwa dzulo, musanyadire. Tikamati MCP siyinatsinthe, tikunena zinthu ngati izi. Imaponyera anthu pa dziwe la ng’ona inali Pioneer. The blood shedding DNA of MCP is intact, ndaonela kuphedwa kwa was Police kwa Msundwe.This piineer will be full with Msundwe boys.Oh!! not again, my God help us to stop these evil intents of MCP.
Osavotera mbuzi izi. Zikufunanso kuti ziyambitse young pioneer yankhanza ija,kenakonso youth league izizatilanda m’bale zarhu
Wovotera agwape awa iyenso ndi gwape
Bringing back Malawi Young Pioneers to terrorise Makaei. That’s what Malawi Crocodile Party knows best.
This is a return to the MYP system, the militarization of our youth, paramilitary structures answerable to MCP headquarters. Is this what UTM, PP, Petra and all are signing up for? MCP is has swallowed all these partners in the name of alliance and its putting its hidden agenda at the core. As much as Chilima and JB are angry with the DPP but for them to put their weight behind MCP is a very dangerous gamble. DPP is evil, l agree, but MCP is a greater evil. I foresee Chilima isolated, ostracized from his base and thrown under the bus as soon as MCP get what they want.
Please Malawians, dont let this stupidity ever come back!!! We are selling our precious freedom in the name of change. This is how it starts. We cant be having A YUFI, the PIONEER today in this age. KU Nsundwe KONKO ZOPUSAZO
Kkkkkkkkk zaonekadi votelani dala Malawi young paoneer
Adzawalembadi ntchito nkumatidulitsa ma card tagwira mau tionana pa 2 July
No vote MCP
Wayambapo fake accent ex-reverend Lezala Nyolonyo… that’s how the notorious MYP and MCP Youth League started. You think youth service is the same as 1 million jobs? Paja you have confessed to know very little, as Nkaka.
Ngati mwayamba kufuna kuyambitsa Pioneer lero kuli bwanji tikakuvoterani? shame!!! again I say Shame!!!!!
Dr lazarus Genocide….know in your heart northerners can’t vote for mcp president who comes from central region.
Madzi sayiwala khwawa!!!! Welcome back to the era of MCP!!! Kkkkkk!!!!
osawavotera agalu awa
young pioneers inkaoneka ngati agricultural training for young Malawians while in actual sense it was paramilitary organisation only loyal and answerable to the mcp president. Myp was exempted from paying tax, got employed by police and army. They could not be arrested by police or army without approval by kamuzu. The Myp wasted a lot of tax money by running loss making businesses such as spearhead. The youth were brainwashed into systematic hatred and elimination of opposition leaders.
pioneer lero??
ayamba ma preparations obwezeletsa payoniya!? eish.
National Youth Service may be equated to MYP of the past, I can imagine that if you went to secondary school before 2000 you might been taught by Peace Corp volunteer and you were happy. That’s is a kind of national youth service that Laz might be propagating.
MYP also started under the same guise. Ended up Killing a lot of people and being used as the Soviet red guards on MCP purges. Sitingalore zopusazo. NEVER!!!!!!!! TO HELL WITH MCP!! and STUPID IDEAS. This has lost any patience I had for MCP. I will actively campaign against this stupidity anywhere and everywhere.
@ Mkanda Gudu, asayeni anawa, amangova kuti kunali MYP, they don’t even know that Bakili Muluzi was one of the MYP, and he was sent to School while he was a MYP man.
