Malawi’s democracy-minded religious grouping–the Public Affairs Committee (PAC) has described President Peter Mutharika’s government as the most difficult to deal with in the history of the country.

Through its publicity secretary Father Peter Mlomole said on Saturday that Muthariks administration has the the problem of pontification.

This comes against a background of Mutharika government’s unwillingness to settle issues raised by PAC in February last year bordering on good governance.

According to Father Mlomole, the religious leaders have observed that Mutharika’s administration is adamant and undemocratic clarifying that it does not listen to productive advice coming from people outside the government.

“We’ve been knocking at the government doors to settle the issues at hand but to avail. This is because government plays delay tactics on the matter,” said Mlomole.

He said the big problem with the current government is that its leadership believes that they are above everyone else and that they know everything inside out.

However, when asked to comment on the matter government spokesperson Nicholas Dausi wondered if such words are from the men of God.

“I don’t think the real men of God can say that, they are mandated to say words that can bring unity and peace but PAC should know that we are ready for the discussion and settle down the said issues,” argued Dausi.

It appears that it is not only PAC having such concerns about undemocratic tendencies in the Peter Mutharika’s administration. Just recently, several Malawians as well as Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) have also shared PAC’s concerns.
