BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-Opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) says President Lazarus Chakwera must not run away from responsibilities of fulfilling promises made to Malawians to attain the country’s leadership.
The party says it is ‘dismayed and horrified’ with Chakwera’s statement on Monday, June 12, 2023 at the opening of a conference on Separation of Powers, that he is not responsible for running of the country.
In a statement released on Tuesday, June 13 and signed by DPP Spokesperson Shadric Namalomba, wonders that if the President is not responsible, then who is?
He said the DPP has always maintained that this country is on auto-pilot.
“There is nobody in charge. That is why everything is going wrong, and the Chakwera administration does not seem to care,” said Namalomba.
The statement further says if President Chakwera understood the duties placed upon his shoulders by the supreme law of the land, the Constitution, he would have understood that the buck stops at his doorstep.
During the opening of the conference, Chakwera said it is wrong for people to assume that the role of the president is like that of a driver who has absolute control of a vehicle.
Chakwera has failed to meet Malawians expectations three years after winning 2020 Presidential elections.
The leadership is characterised by corruption, fraud, nepotism, high cost of living, inflation, shortages of fuel, forex essential drugs and among others.
