According to Mutharika, the name follows the demand from the chiefs of both Karonga and Chitipa and not his party.
Hundreds of anti Bingu high-way people in Karonga and Chitipa on Monday petitioned the President Peter Muthalika to reverse the decision of using his late brother’s name to Karonga-Chitipa road.
