Mutharika says DPP has conquered many challenges

President Peter Mutharika has  maintained  his script about his success in turning around the economy of Malawi after he inherited empty coffers in 2014 when he came to power and said it is important to give thanks to God .

Mutharika: Thanksgiving

Mutharika, an international and constitutional law expert,  said in Thanksgiving Service at Sanjika Palace in Blantyre that the country has  every reason “to say our thanks” because “God has seen us through many challenges” in the year that is ending.

“I want to say thank you Malawi. I am proud of every Malawian working hard to make Malawi a better place,” he said.

The  President  said when he took power in 2014, he  had to deal with devastating floods, a famine and a foreign-aid freeze but his administration has  conquered many challenges – a reason to be thankful.

“We were faced with floods, drought and hunger for two years. But we survived.

We found a broken economy. We fixed it,” he said.

He said his Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) inherited  stagnant development.

“But we have built new roads, taken electricity to the people and built many community technical colleges,” said the Malawi leader who seeks a second and mandatory final term in 2019.

He said  because of  his administration   took painful steps to stabilize the economy and the currency, the kwacha, and brought inflation down from a peak of 24 percent to single digit and reduced interest rates from 25 per cent to 16 per cent, the country  is changing because  his administaryion is working hard.

Mutharika said  the Youths are  employing themselves and employing one another in welding and shoe making because of community technical colleges.

“We have seen Women and Youth being empowered to buy motorbikes with their money and build houses with their hands because they can afford.  

“We have seen the elderly and vulnerable people in the villages where we come from getting better free homes because of the Malata and Cement subsidy program,” . 

In his Thanksgiving tonne, Mutharika said “ we are working hard because God has given us a life and a chance to serve this country.”

Mutharika who prides himself of  leading Malawi with “a passionate determination” to take it out of poverty,  acknoledged the  civil servants for their hard work and willingness to serve their fellow citizens.

“From the depth of my heart, today, I want to say thank you to the civil servants and public servants who have been working hard and: making our economy better and better building our new roads, giving light to people in our villages with MAREP, providing piped water to villages and new communities, creating jobs for the youth, 

building community technical colleges and making Malawi better and better,” he said.

Over 60 choir groups hosted by the First Lady  took turns to sing praises and worship songs, expressing gratitude for the event as the year draws to an end.

  3. HALT THERE MATHANYULA!!!!!!!!! Which are these many challenges you have so far CONQUERED? Corruption is at its zenith, tribalism is the order of the day,nepotism is chronically established and spreads its tentacles beyond control,thefty of government funds is treachorously obnoxious and can not be put to rest. The economic state is tragically abhorrent with the national economy and unemployment at tragically 95%,shame on you Mathanyula however,your days are numbered.If you and your thief brother Bingu thought that you will enslave Malawians forever,then you are a misguided lot.We in diaspora warn our fellow Malawians not to succumb to your frivolous propaganda and comes 2019,Malawians must unite and vote for CHILIMA AND UTM that will rebuild our stollen land.DOWN WITH TRIBALISM FORWARD WITH UNITY FOR PROGRESS!!!!!!!!!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR AND POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!

  5. As long as you are from Malawi, you never be thank full. You do not have power to become a leader and you will not be coz of your poor mentality. Malawians are strange creatures who know only criticism and nothing else.

    1. credit is given where its due! And 145M plus 5 cars from karim, biased public media, Dpp ISIS and Boko Haram acts on taxpayers, insulting women, selected justice thus not gonna cut! Malawians are waking up from the slummer buddy i suggest u do likewise!!

  8. The heading should have been DPP has created many challenges. After fuel scarcity and cashgate, DPP had the best opportunity to perform and since it had experience in running government, I had all the hope in them. Koma no…little did I know that they would fail from every angle.

  9. .at. j Mbewe the pathfinder if we have ignorant pple on this earth ur one of them……the govt thru its policies can Make its citizens either rich or poor through ma policies……even if pple wek nor do business this country is not conducive for development…..evryone is wekin tooth n nail for maliseche n team to get rich…..shutup ur just displaying ur ignorance pagulu pano

  10. @ Mbewe the pathfinder: are you acknowleging that 145 mio was stolen money, nde chifukwa ndi yaing’ono zilibe kanthu? May be what you should have said is that the courts cleared the subject person and therefore palibe nkhani

  11. Bla, bla, bla! We’ve heard it all before. Actions speak louder than words. Two years of JB’s rule didn’t bring the country to its knees, it was his own brother’s eight year rule that crippled the country. APM is a Law Professor of FAILURE!

  12. You are indeed committed to developing Malawi bwana president.You inherited adverse conditions and even the guy second in command had his other ideas of pulling you down worst still you own inlaw ndi awo akweni ..You are still the last man standing.Bravo bwana Prof.

    1. @Linda inu nsanje ndi nkhwizi zanuzo muzalowa nazo mmanda muli aang’ono, Inu zoona dziko lonse mukakhale mukudandaula MK145 million chaka chonse? Kodimukuona ngati ndi ndalamaimeneyo, Iwe ndi mphawidi weniweni eti. Mukulephera kuona zinthu zabwino chifukwa chakandalama kameneko? kkkkkkkkk Kagwireni ntchito mutukule maanja anu, osamangodalira boma, munthu olephera ngati iwe.

      1. Musiyeni ndi huleu yu @linda, akhala choncho kulira ka MK145m mmalo momagwira chito nkumatukuka pakhomo pake, she is failing to see misewu ya ma billion just because of MK145m. crying for one year for this. Shame.

        1. come 2019 tribalism will be gone APM and u foolish stooges will be the things of the past.Dont impose someone to Malawians we dont want.Malawians are tired of dpp mark my words

        2. @ heavy duty

          Uhule upose wa anduna anu akasaila. Munthu kuonesa maliseche dziko lonse lamalawi ndikumati ndunabe. This is what happens when you have a president with no standards. Check picture below of shameless kusaila. Munthu ameneyo you expect us to call him wolemekezeka?. If this is not stupidity what is?. Stop calling people mahule otherwise whenever you use that word you remind us about anduna anu akasaila. Check trail below in case sunamve. Classless president , classless ministers , classless party is what define DPP
