Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Chibwana noted that the Tonse Alliance Government led by President Lazarus Chakwera was voted into power because its campaign promises gave hope to most Malawians regarding being taken out of dehumanizing levels of poverty.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut in less than two years all citizens, except for the few well connected, all that hope is lost. More seriously citizens don\u2019t even know where the country is going. Recent street demonstrations are but just the beginning of the manifestation of people\u2019s hopelessness, feeling of having been betrayed and their anger.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe citizens\u2019 anger is fuelled by the general perception that the country lacks decisive leadership. We pray that while citizens have a right and duty to express their dissatisfaction with the performance of their Government everything should be done according to laws of the land,\u201d said Chibwana.<\/p>\n

He added that the soaring cost of living in the country is a threat to the enjoyment of basic human rights and has potential to further throw many households in abject poverty. Chibwana noted that the Government is obligated to cushion and protect the poor from such socio-economic shocks.<\/p>\n

\u201cMerely preaching austerity measures and calling for patience from the citizenry by the Government is a mockery to human dignity and is tantamount to Government\u2019s abrogation of its duties. It is deplorable that the prevailing social protection mechanisms do not comprehensively include marginalized groups like persons with disabilities, the elderly and the urban poor,\u201d said Chibwana.<\/p>\n

He then urged Government to urgently institute inclusive and transparent social protection mechanisms to cushion the poor from the social economic hardships.<\/p>\n

He added that the political leadership should walk the talk in implementing austerity measures in light of the undesirable prevailing socio-economic situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Government should heed the cry of the citizens most of whom have lost hope in the current Government\u2019s ability to live up to its campaign propaganda \u2013 let alone lift them out of their daily worsening living conditions. The growing frustration and loss of hope by citizens should be addressed as matter of urgency,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
