Debate has ensued on social media after a photo showing President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera riding a bicycle in Germany went viral with some applauding him over his selflessness.
In the photo, Chakwera is captured in a black suite smiling while riding the bicycle and some Germany top officials are clapping hands.
Some are seen taking pictures and videos of the President.
Malawians have since taken to social media.
Munthu Mulala wrote: “Koma guys . The mistake we made was to appoint into the highest office of the land someone who isn’t woke and hasn’t traveled extensively, here he is, mixing govt business with pleasure. Mavuto alipo.”
Another Malawian identified as Bright Lombe : “We can’t say he is wrong doing that in Germany but my argument is this he must also do the same thing in Malawi and one of his trip or internal trips he must also use bicycles that will show how wise he is and once again it’s not wrong to do that in Germany.”
Chakwera together with the first lady Monica Chakwera is in Germany for official duties and is expected to return home any-day from Friday.
