Mutharika urges DPP members to stop gossiping

“Apart from that I will make sure that we put up tarred roads to Livingstonia and Nyika and also construct the Chikangawa-Nkhata-Bay Road and also the Mzuzu-Nkhata-Bay road. You know that DPP will do this because we have ever constructed good roads before for all to see,” said Mutharika.
He also said his DPP government will rehabilitate health facilities in the northern region and across the country saying health is a priority in his government agenda.

In his brief remarks in fluent local dialect Tumbuka, Chilima reminded the people of the good works that DPP has done in terms of food security, good economic growth where Malawi was rated second best growing economy to Qatar and also debt cancellation.
“DPP has the know how to facilitate that economic growth and we also know how the debt was cancelled and when we get into government on May 20, we will know to negotiate to have our massive debt cancelled,” said Chilima in fluent tumbuka to the ulululation of the huge crowd.
Mutharika will introduce Chilima in the Eastern Region at Malosa in Zomba today before moving to Blantyre on Thursday.
