Minister of Information Gospel Kazako has admitted that the country is sailing through hard times as witnessed by high cost of living.

Kazako said this during media briefing in the capital Lilongwe.

He has however assured Malawians that government is doing everything possible to ease the challenges.

Kazako has since pleaded with the general public not panic as the standing challenges are as a result of increase in fuel price globally.

According to Kazako, almost each and every country is currently facing hitches to fully improve living standards.

‘’The Tonse Administration has wide range of developmental projects that will soon be fulfilled. People should not only be concerned with Sugar and Salt but they should also have at heart the need to improve schools and roads among others.’’ says Kazako.
