ZOMBA-(MaraviPost)-The UTM leader Dr Dalitso Kabambe has assured Zomba residents that new Malawi is coming with economic fortunes once voted into power.
Concluding his tour, the former Reserve Bank of Malawi (RBM) Governor Dr. Kabambe assured the national that his leadership will prioritize on economic recovery with low cost of living, inflation, availability of forex and among others.
“Today, we have taken the message of economic renaissance to the people of Zomba. As we interacted with our hardworking citizens, I saw the desperation behind their smiles—the anxiety about what they will eat, whether their businesses will generate enough income to meet basic needs, and whether their government truly cares.
“That desperation is echoed by the World Bank, which has painted a bleak picture of Malawi’s economy. According to the Bank, Malawi’s economy remains on life support—contrary to the optimistic claims made by the MCP administration. Poverty levels are now above 75%, with an additional 400,000 Malawians expected to fall into poverty. This brings the total number of Malawians living in poverty to approximately 15 million”, observes the UTM leader.
Dr Kabambe adds, “Economic growth rate stands at a sluggish 1.8%, far below the 10% required for Malawi to achieve middle-income status by 2030.
“This is what happens when we have a government that prioritizes its own comfort over the suffering of its people. A government that allocates MK67 billion to the State House for endless parties, while setting aside only MK60 billion to purchase maize for over 5 million hungry Malawians”.
He assures, “But here is the good news: All this ends in September. We are rewriting Malawi’s story. We are taking our country back and restoring hope for a better, more prosperous future”.
The UTM leader Dr Kabambe is reaching all corners of the country with message of economic recovery hope ahead of September 16 polls.
