The Malawi leader said negative attitude and fault finding should not find place in the building of new Malawi.
He said Malawi has never believed that collective problems can be solved by isolated actions
“We believe in working together to solve problems we share, even working together with people we disagree.
“So if we are going to have better fortunes in 2021 it will be by fully embracing the Tonse philosophy of working together,” he said.
The president said one of the great aspects the country should understand is, the country can not make progress if citizens do things haphazardly.
He said the next two weeks he will be outlining his administration’s top priorities.
Meanwhile Chakwera has assured the nation that he will make sure the government machinery is remodeled to serve the interests of the nation.
