Minister of Information and Digitization Moses Kunkuyu has come out of his cocoon to comment on assertions by Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) assertions that President Lazarus Chakwera risks impeachment due to the myriad economic shocks in the country.
The EIU report claimed an intensified prospect of the country holding early elections before the scheduled September 16 2025 General Elections due to the country’s economic challenges.
But Kunkuyu described the report as baseless.
“These acts do not occur when people are able to freely and soberly analyse the situation. Where people are appreciating where we are coming from, the efforts being made by government and where we are, the President cannot be impeached.
“Public protests if any, will be held taking the civil course as a constitutional right not a tool for driving political agendas and any call for early elections will definitely have no basis,” Kunkuyu was quoted as saying.
The minister said Malawians know where the country is coming from and that it is not yet where the government would have loved it to be.
Kunkuyu said a successful tobacco marketing season, promotion of teachers after decades, police officers occupying beautiful houses and 97 percent of needy students accessing student loans were some of the success stories.
Chakwera has since silently launched his campaign trail ahead of the 2025 polls.
