“They capitalized on our destitution and enticed us with chitenge we cannot wear to a church or mosque, a T-shirt we cannot when visiting a finance. They dish out small amounts of money even as small as K2000 but such amount looks a lot because of our lack, ” reads part of the statement.

Tobias therefore pleads with citizens of this country to reflect on Malawi we have and Malawi that should be so that citizens should use the offer he is giving to lead to the ending of the 31 years of mafia politics and launch the beginning of political leadership founded on principles of integrity, competence as well as service.

He assured the general public that the next election is a system change election, therefore citizens should not sell their souls, future as well as dignity.
