Countrymen, I don’t think that it is a matter of being Llomwe, Chewa, Yao, Ngoni, No. Where we are things have moved from bad to worse.

This lady doesn’t play around! They had to fire her and put someone they can easily manipulate. Dr Chiwaya was once a CEO at ESSCOM and is responsible for this mess that has matured today.
