The Office of the President and Cabinet made the announcement following the completion of the multi-billion Chinese funded road.

However, some Malawians on social media have blamed the government for renaming the road after the former head of state.

They claim Malawi has a lot of personalities, dead or alive whose names can be used on the road.

The government has also named the new stadium in Lilongwe after Bingu wa Mutharika.
