Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>\u201cThis will allow workers to do other things such as a dropping their kids in school before going to work,\u201d said Chakwera ahead of the now nullified 2019 presidential elections.<\/p>\n

Malawians on social media are now reminding the president to deliver on his promise, with some claiming that Chakwera got their votes because of this particular promise.<\/p>\n

\u201cPatiently waiting for this promise,\u201d said Chifundo Gwedeza on Facebook.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was an attractive promise to most civil servants,\u201d another Facebook user said.<\/p>\n

Chakwera and Vice President Saulos Chilima were elected in the Fresh Presidential Election in 2020 after promising to among others create one million jobs, introduce free water and electricity connection, and reduce passport fees to K14,000 among others.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace (CCJP) noted that Chakwera and Chilima were voted into power because their 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,\u201d the organisation said.<\/p>\n
