Former President Peter Mutharika who is also leader of the opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has criticized President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera for failing to manage some of the challenges that are facing in the country.

Writing on his official facebook page Mutharika cited the challenges at Immigration Department where Malawians are forced to sleep on the queue.

“Reading the papers in the gone week always left me feeling sad. The country has been left to go to the dogs. From people spending nights on queues at the Immigration department to the World Bank reporting the worsening of poverty, the plight of Malawians has never been worse since we attained multiparty democracy.

“The economy on the other hand keeps tanking with silent devaluations, run away inflation and unavailable forex to support local businesses and industries. Those of us who knew that the MCP leadership would wreck this country certainly never expected that it would be this worse,” said Mutharika.

Mutharika has since urged Malawians that change is soon coming.

“In this darkness, I know that most people would easily lose hope. I am here, however, to urge you all Malawians to not lose hope. Help is coming next year and things will get better again. As the Malawi Electoral Commission will be rolling out voter registration, go out in numbers and register so we can kick out this clueless leadership.

“In the same vein, I urge the NRB to conduct a diligent mopping exercise in all parts of Malawi so people who were systematically excluded from registering should have the chance. No suffering Malawian should be disenfranchised. We cannot survive another 5 years of this tragic failure,” said Mutharika.
