Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Malawian citizens are continuing criticizing President Lazarus Chakwera over his daily travel programs arguing that tours consuming hard earned taxpayers money which could be channeled to meaningful developmental projects.<\/p>\n

The criticism comes after the announcement of his four travel programs in four consecutive days starting from Saturday March 26,2022 up Tuesday March 29 where he is in Zomba district conducting crop inspection tours at Eloni and Namadidi Villages, Traditional Authority (T.A) Mlumbe.<\/p>\n

According to the concerned citizens\u2019 comments extracted from State House and Malawi Government face book pages where the travel programs are communicated, Chakwera is said to be a leader who is just good in speeches and a failure to make things done.<\/p>\n

One of the travel programs that has received heavy criticism comments is that of Crop Inspection Tours in Zomba and Thyolo district where many say, he could give the assignment to the Agriculture Minister<\/p>\n

\u201cThe whole President inspecting crops instead of a Minister\u2026our African leaders need to be serious,\u201d Johhny Chivela. Ophaniel Kapeta Chima says\u201d Just another useless President wasting money. Let Minister of Agriculture inspect crops\u201d.<\/p>\n

Another one Christopher Prince says \u201d This is the responsibility of Agriculture Minister. It seems you don\u2019t know what best to do for your country,\u201d. \u201d Ntchito yachakwera ndiyoyendayenda basi. What a useless President ever we had in Malawi,\u201d Ishmael Adini Phiri.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe millions you are spending on these useless trips to inspect crops can be used to sort out different issues locking our health sector,\u201d David Kalinda.<\/p>\n

Chakwera was elected in 2020 on a promise to fight corruption in the country. Opposite to this, He has recently come under several criticisms including the one from the Episcopal Conference of Malawi (ECM) and the Public Affairs Committee (PAC) following the rise in corruption cases under his administration.<\/p>\n

According State House sources, Presidential trip out side Kamuzu Palace cost taxpayers money MK20 million. Despite criticism on petty trips, Chakwera has no shown any remorseful while continuing with local and international trips.<\/p>\n
