Chakwera did not stop fiscal policy measures from there.
He continued by ordering that no MDA should renew Contract or sign new contract for any activity unless approved to do so.

“Any board meeting more than that should seek permission from his office,” said the president.

We’ve heard you Mr President. The problem with our civil service is following up and enforcing rules, regulations and, like the subject matter, directives. For example, does it require the whole Minister of Tourism to chase renewal of business? What were the PS, Departmental Head, the Ministry’s Finance man etc etc doing?
Bravo bwana president, leadership is all about sacrifices.

Good Measures. Need also to look outward like increase in export base like the increase in buying of gold by Reserve bank and sell it outside on large scale.
