Minister of Information and Digitalization Moses Kunkuyu who is also campaign Director for Malawi Congress Party (MCP) has said President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera is not in support of same sex marriages in the country.

Kunkuyu said this during a development rally organized by MCP at South Lunzu Primary School on Saturday.

In his speech Kunkuyu said Chakwera values the union of a man and a woman.

“Everyone knows that Chakwera before becoming a President he was serving as Pastor and he once officiated marriages of man and a woman. He has never officiated a marriage of a man and a fellow man.

“Apart from that, Chakwera is married to a woman and this is a clear indication that President values the union of a man and woman period,” said Kunkuyu.

Kunkuyu’s remarks follow the recent protest by various faith group in the country denouncing same sex marriages.

This also follows the ongoing court case where some right activists in the country want the court to declare same sex marriages in the country legal.

The case is currently underway at the High Court in Blantyre and the case is being presided over by a panel of three Judges.
