President Peter Mutharika has warned people in flood probe area to relocate to higher grounds.
May I ask our Government to think of the elderly, sick, children, disabled ,preg
nant. The weather focust is there for guidance inorder to avoid more loss of life. Telling people to relocate to high grounds is not wise in my opinion. Do we not have a department which deals with these crisis. The government needs to give these people temporary accomodation until things are sorted.
Considering the poverty in Malawi, these families I assume they will need other basic needs for their daily needs.
Above all, Malawians lets all pray for wisdom as it is a Principlal thing. For us to get the wisdom we need to fear God therefore prayer is the answer to all the issues we are facing. God Bless Malawi.
We need to all pray for our land.
Lord Have Mercy

Paja mvulayi inapemphereredwa ndi a silamu kuti iyambe kugwa.
“President Peter Mutharika has warned people in flood prone areas to relocate to higher grounds”. Either the reporter or the President has no clue how to handle the situation. Is the state machinery involved in the relocation?????????????????????
they failed to predict this rain, and they are saying it while others have waste property and others lost lives. Fools! No it will never rain like this again
