LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-President Lazarus Chakwera on Friday, May 14, 2021 rebukes Tonse administration’s loyalists to desist from glorifying him as God to achieve personal interests than that of the nation.
President Chakwera accused some party supporters who own him as their only president arguing that it divides the nation.
He however warned those agitating for others down fall in Tonse government that will not be spared for their evil deeds.
Chakwera therefore appeals for unity for country’s regions, tribes and religion that Tonse agenda to transform Malawi be achieved.
The President observes that if Malawi wants to have meaningful change, there should be total mindset change with new hearts “born again”.
The Malawi leader was speaking during Kamuzu Day commemoration ceremony held at the first and founder of the nation Dr. Hastings Kamuzu Banda’s mausoleum in the capital Lilongwe.
Kamuzu Day falls on May 14 yearly.
“It’s you people who makes president to be arrogance because of much praises and worship. Some have even started glorying us as God to achieve selfish-personal needs. This is useless and uncalled for.
“I want to serve you. But not to the extent of using dictatorial approach for other things to work. If you want me to act harshly then never point a finger at my name later. Everyone should work hard without fearing anyone but do according to the laws of the land. Everyone should serve each other. Lets be united. Not only two people be united when the rest are not,” urges Chakwera.
Malawi leader added, “All country’s regions needs to be united which will enable to achieve Tonse agenda for this country. When we say, President, he is for all Malawians not particular group of people, region, tribe. It’s you people who make leader to make bad decisions because of this uncalled for notion, “Ameneyu ndiwanthu wanthu”, (He is only our President)
“If you have noticed past governments bad governance, its because of people close to the leadership. If you haven been appointed or given a post be within work jurisdiction. Don’t interfere others work to impress authorities for selfish and personal needs.
Don’t use other people to harm your fellow member other. Don’t sent someone to harm your fellow brother or sister while hiding that you look good in authorities’ eyes. Lets allow others things to happen as a nation as not only leaders go wrong but you also people who support bad decisions.
“If I find out that any person I have appointed to be part of my administration is no longer using their office to serve Malawian, but for meddling in matters they have no mandate over in order to advance their selfish interests, that will be the day I and them part ways,” warned Chakwera.
Meanwhile, the family of the Malawi’s founding President, Dr Hastings Kamuzu Banda has asked Tonse Alliance government to complete the Kamuzu Memorial Park in Lilongwe.
Phase one of the project, initiated by Malawi’s third President late Bingu wa Mutharika in 2005, saw the construction of a Mausoleum, resting place for Kamuzu Banda.
The family’s representative, Ken Kandodo extended the call during the same Kamuzu Day Memorial Service at the Kamuzu Mausoleum in City Centre Lilongwe.
