‘Malawians are watching!’, Prophet Mbewe warns President Chakwera on skyrocketing fertilizer prices
Freedom of Worship Association of Malawi (FOWAM) has written President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera, urging him to take swift action to stop the skyrocketing prices of fertilizers.
The association has warned that Malawians are watching how the Tonse Alliance government is backtracking on its campaign promise to reduce the price of fertilizer.
In their open letter dated August 19, 2021, FOWAM president Prophet David Mbewe argues that the unprecedented rise in prices for the farm inputs goes against the campaign promises of the Tonse Alliance government.
“Malawians were promised that if voted into power, fertilizer price will be Four Thousand Four Hundred and Ninety Five Kwacha (K4, 495). You are now into the second year of the Tonse Alliance government, but instead of farmers benefiting from lower prices of farm inputs, the contrary is the reality,” says Mbewe in a letter he has co-signed with the association’s General Secretary Ras Jerafaya Geoffrey Phomea.
Mbewe says the increase in fertilizer prices is a clear testimony that the will of the people is taken for granted.
He has urged President Chakwera not only to remember, but must fulfill his campaign promises.
He has also asked the Office of the President to engage in fruitful discussions with fertilizer suppliers so that the price of fertilizer must go down K4, 495.
“It is our trust that you definitely want your administration to go down in history as the promises keeping administration. Please, do the needful. Malawians are watching!” Mbewe and Phomea warn.
State House Director of Communication, Sean Tsanzo Kampondeni, had not yet responded to your questionnaire on the reaction of the President.
Whoever is Supporting the Increase of Fertilizer in Malawi, He doen’t belong to Malawi. If other pipo can manage to buy at a such high price, do u think b4 u say something or u just say coz u can? These 2 Men must stick to their promises, other day they will regret. Malawians needs Cheap Fertilizers as promised
Fertilizer wakwera ntengo the whole Africa, don’t confuse people in the name of uneneli. Munayenera kukhala mneneli ozindikira osati mmene mukuchitiramu. Pezani topic yabwino yonena kwa anthu mutchukirepo osati izi.
This unacceptable. Komatu imeneyi tikangoti tikukaguma pamsewu dziko liyaka ili.
Kodi amazimva chani akulu awa, stick in ur lane
Kodi akuti ndinu mneneli kkkkkkkkkk
K36,000 is not too much money. Most farmers afford.
Thats nonsensical at its best! How can you clap hands for fertiliser increase by 100%? You hypocrytes if it were APM HRDC would have gone to streets straight away but bcoz its Chakwera and Chilima then all is well hehehehede! God is really watching and Malawians are watching lets wait for 2025 and see what ppo will decide remember what befallen APM can also happen to Lazarus. A Malawi tambalare while Lazarus kuyika mkamwini wake as Executive Administrative assistant and also his wife as personal assistant just because its Chakwera God hear us and answer accordingly because these ppo tortured… Read more »

Koma zinadzi kukhala ngati prophet opanda ubongo shaa ,muthu wanzeru zake angamati bwanji fertilizer wakwera mtengowo chosecho akukhala pa Dziko lapansi pano , Mwana wa Water ameneyo ,
Koma mbuzi zinanu mumandidabwitsa kwambiri, Kaya ndi umbuli Kaya ndi Satanism yomwe yawandayi.
Zoona munthu wafotokoza chilungamo za zomwe mbuzi ziwiri zimanamiza a Malawi pa kampeni yawo iwi chitsiru cha nkhuku iwe ndi kumakawaikira kumbuyo ndithu
I agree with u, Doba ndi mbuzi yeni yeni because what is happening is quite the opposite on what they promised the masses. They have to fulfill their campaign promises, otherwise tangochokani mwaulemu, if u cant manage.
Correct me if am wrong koma the impression I was given during campaign was that fertilizer will be brought at lower price for everyone. Anyway, am grateful that some people in Malawi has managed to get fertilizer @ lower price but politicians next time elaborate your statements please.
Ingogwiritsani Yesu mwana wadavide Andale akuchedwetsani….
