Dedza east MP Juliana Lunguzi backing what leader of opposition in Parliament Lazarus Chakwera  said that he Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) administration has “miserably failed” to deliver on its socio-economic promises to Malawians contrary to President Peter Mutharika’s claims.

She said supported the assertion of Chakwera  that there is no need for Malawians to keep DPP in power as it has failed in the four years it has governed the country in the three key categories of often feeding Malawians lies and stealing from them and torturing them.
