Shame! Chakwera booed in Lilongwe over fuel crisis

Motorists boo Chakwera

LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-Very shameful. President Lazarus Chakwera on Friday, November 4, 2022 was booed when his convoy was passing motorists cueing for fuel in one of the filling stations in the capital Lilongwe.

Our sources disclosed that motorists were shouting, booing, calling Chakwera all sorts of names when passing though the town.

This is the second time for Chakwera to be booed amid social-economic ills Malawians are going through after the same incident happened last week in Mangochi.

But this time is Lilongwe, his home base where he gets support.

Meanwhile, Chakwera through State House Facebook page, acknowledged the booing

“By way of example, the President described the insights he himself gained from his experience of hearing Malawians vocalize their frustrations about the acute shortage of fuel in the country when he passed by long lines of cars waiting for fuel at filling stations in Lilongwe earlier today.

“His Excellency said that listening to the voices of citizens going through such hardships is a useful reminder to him that it is the people whose interest he is in office to serve and whose problems his Government was elected to serve,” reads part of the page.

Chakwera has no formula to fix Malawi’s ailing economy characterized by fuel, forex, drug shortages, high cost of living since took reins of power two years ago.
