The Blantyre Synod of the Church of Central African Presbytery (CCAP) has blasted the government of President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera over numerous challenges locking the country.

In a Pastoral letter released and signed by Blantyre Synod general secretary Anderson Juma and synod moderator Humphreys Zgambo, the church claim that Maize scarcity and fuel crisis has negatively affected the lives of many Malawians

“We have observed that life for the majority of Malawians is being threatened by the looming hunger due to non-availability of maize stocks in Admarc [Agricultural Development and Marketing Corporation] depots. While the government continues to paint a rosy picture of the situation, we have observed, through our research, that on the ground the hunger situation has reached alarming levels,” the letter reads in part.

The synod also says it is not amused with forex supply and other economic challenges.

“We have observed, with concern, the continued and unresolved economic challenges manifested in the rising prices of basic commodities due to, among other factors, scarcity of forex,” added the letter.
